Chapter 264 "White Birch Forest" single album
January 4th.
Friday.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Butterfly Records.
After a preparatory meeting, the finalists were guided by the Butterfly music team to prepare their own songs to perform in the Big Four melee.
Shi Feng and Qiu Zhenhai have long been prepared, and in this round, they will both perform their best tracks.
Lin Zaishan also chose to sing "I Never Left".
Only Tang Yaxuan's song has not yet been decided.
After some deliberation and discussion, Lin Zaishan and Caidie's team finally set the next round of singing "Your Sweetness" for Tang Yaxuan.
Lin Zaishan prepared two songs for Tang Yaxuan before, one is the lively children's style "I Love to Take a Bath", and the alternative is "Your Sweetness".
Tang Yaxuan performed children's songs on the stage of "Singer-Songwriter" and achieved very good results, Lin Zaishan wanted to make persistent efforts to let Tang Yaxuan sing a lively and cheerful children's song to establish Tang Yaxuan's stage image and style of the sunny little witch.
Tang Yaxuan has no opinion on this, but the Caidie team suggested to Lin Zaishan and Tang Yaxuan that it is best not to sing children's songs continuously in the next round, so as not to arouse the audience's disgust and go too far.
Lin Zaishan carefully considered the suggestions of the Caidie team and felt that there was indeed such a risk. After all, the show has not yet aired, and the majority of music fans have not yet made accurate predictions about what the majority of music fans think of "Brushing Teeth". If you sing children's songs for two weeks in a row, the audience may really be disgusted with Tang Yaxuan.
Moreover, Tang Yaxuan came to the competition on behalf of the Colorful Butterfly team, and always sang children's songs, which also had a certain influence on the Colorful Butterfly team.
In the end, Lin Zaishan changed Tang Yaxuan to a pure girlish "Your Sweetness" - if this song is sung well, it can also bless Tang Yaxuan's cute girl's image.
After setting the song, Guan Yaling personally helped Tang Yaxuan tutor and help Tang Yaxuan prepare the song "Your Sweetness", and Lin Zaishan was invited by Wu Yifan to the general manager's office. The two are ready to talk about the album.
"Lao Lin, does your company want to sign that Xiao Tang?" Wu Yifan asked Lin Zaishan straight to the point. Judging from the fact that Lin Zaishan took care of Tang Yaxuan so much and helped her write songs, Lin Zaishan was no longer a pure help to her, this was completely supporting.
Lin Zaishan didn't hide: "I have this idea now." Angkor, what do you think of this girl's potential? ”
Wu Yifan said truthfully: "She is not the kind of singer with style, if your company makes her a children's singer, there is a little market to be made." But are you sure you want to sign a child singer? ”
"Let's see how the audience reacts. If the response is good, why don't we try it? Lin Zaishan asked with a smile: "Brother Ang, if Xiao Tang is on fire, you Caidie won't compete with us Beyond, right?" ”
"Haha. We definitely don't rob it, don't worry, we're not interested in her. We have no plans to create children's singers. ”
Lin Zaishan smiled and nodded: "I thought about it yesterday, if our company signed Xiao Tang, and I want to release a record for her with the limelight of "Singer-Songwriter", can you Caidie help release it?" Together with my album. ”
"What do you mean...... Bundle release? Wu Yifan's tone looked a little embarrassed.
"It's not a bundle, it's just a batch of releases. You will also release the "Singer-Songwriter" album for Xiao Qiu in the future, if Xiao Tang can go far. I think she also deserves a "singer-songwriter" album. But as you know, our company is just starting out, and we don't have any distribution channels, so I don't want to cooperate with you. We're going to go to Oriental Records to work with. I still want to strengthen my cooperation with you. ”
"It's definitely okay for us to help release the album. But let's just talk about things, the announcement of Xiao Tang's album ......"
Without waiting for Wu Yifan to finish speaking, Lin Zaishan immediately said: "Our company will pay for the publicity, and you don't need to advance money for this." If our company releases an album for Xiao Tang. The work of publicity and distribution is outsourced to you, and then we will negotiate a good price and see how large-scale publicity and distribution will be done for her. We will pay you in advance and will not be in arrears. ”
"Haha, Lao Lin, I didn't mean that."
"It's okay, Angkor, let's talk about things, what is the future of Xiao Tang's album, no one knows, we can't take you on an adventure together. Regarding the cooperation of Xiao Tang's album, let's just take the outsourcing method, and then you can give us a discounted release price, whether it is a profit or a loss, our company will bear it ourselves. ”
Lin Zaishan's decision eliminated all his worries for Wu Yifan.
To be honest, Caidie's current operation is relatively difficult, and the record market is very sluggish, and they rarely release albums to newcomers now, because the cost cannot be recovered at all. Not to mention releasing an album to a newcomer from a foreign company. If Lin Zaishan and the others bear the publicity and distribution costs of Tang Yaxuan's records, Caidie will only contribute to make money, which is better for Caidie.
Wu Yifan wanted to remind Lin Zaishan: "Think about this matter carefully, you first see if Xiao Tang can really become popular on "Singer-Songwriter", if it doesn't become popular, I personally don't recommend that you release an album for her, otherwise it will be a waste." ”
"I understand. I hope Xiao Tang can go farther, just see if she can break through the next round. ”
"This is difficult, the next round of the competition is not easy for any singer - the preparation time is short, and the competition system is random, it depends on who has a good life and who has a bad life."
"Yes, Xiao Tang really needs some luck in the next round."
"Lao Lin, let's not talk about Xiao Tang yet, I'll tell you a serious matter." Wu Yifan cut the cigar and was about to smoke, and asked Lin Zaishan: "Do you want one?" ”
Lin Zaishan smiled and shook his hand: "I'm not coming, I still have to prepare for the competition, how dare I smoke these." ”
Wu Yifan got up and opened all the windows in the office, and the air conditioner also turned on the ventilation mode to completely circulate the air in the room.
"It's okay, you smoke yours, it's okay if I smell it."
Lin Zaishan could see that Wu Yifan had to smoke, what was the matter, so he had to smoke a cigar to talk to him, was he so anxious? Still excited?
Wu Yifan was excited, and after smoking a cigar, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he told Lin Zaishan: "The song "White Birch Forest" you released recently is very popular, and the Internet search index is very high, have you gone to the wild list of super search to see it?" Your "Birch Forest" is already in the top 10. ”
"It's been a busy week. I haven't paid attention yet. Lin Zaishan asked in slight surprise: "It's only been a few days, and "White Birch Forest" has already entered the top ten of the wild list?" Are you sure? ”
"Sure, I just watched it this morning. Now many TV stations are showing your beautiful little sister's "Birch Forest" champion sand painting, which is the best publicity for this song. ”
"What a beautiful little sister, that girl can be my niece. She and my daughter were classmates, so I helped her make this work. ”
"Haha, you are a random gang, but you will help the fire! Your song is absolutely amazing, the three generations of the old, middle and young eat it all, I don't know if you have thought about it. Immediately release a single to hit the charts? Taking advantage of the current hot momentum of this song, I will release a single to hit the regular list, and I have a great chance of reaching the top! It is possible to directly book a seat for this year's top ten golden songs! ”
"I'm so busy now, how can I care about this. But it sounds like it's worth it! ”
Lin Zaishan has been busy lately, and he really hasn't paid attention to what "White Birch Forest" has become.
If "White Birch Forest" breaks into the top ten of the super search music chart, then this song does have the need to release a single.
Of all the songs he released before, the highest ranking on the music weekly list of Super Search is only "The Hills". I was ranked 22nd on the weekly list once, and I am still far from the top 10, and I have never been in the top 30 on the monthly list.
If "Give You a Little Color" had good audio, maybe it would have been more downloaded than "The Hills". The ranking can be higher. But it's still difficult to get into the top 10.
Generally, only the kind of songs that are popular all over the country can enter the top 10 on the super search music list.
Different from the regular music charts of radio and television stations and big entertainment websites, the super search music list is purely a comprehensive list that collects and summarizes the number of pirated downloads and auditions.
This list has been around since its inception. has always been despised by industry insiders, who feel that Super Search is blatantly promoting pirated music.
The music section of the super search, although not providing pirated content. but provides links to pirated copies. Almost eighty percent of netizens search for songs, they go to the music section of the super search to search, and then go to listen to and download pirated music.
It can be said that Chinese music is now hit hard by piracy to the point of dying, and super search has played a very bad role in boosting it, and it is they who have allowed the majority of netizens to search for pirated music.
In comparison, Qianli Search has done a very good job in this regard, because Zhang Jiale has the will to promote the old-fashioned, and he also loves music, he knows how traumatic piracy is to music, so Qianli Search has not provided a search function for pirated music since its inception.
They don't even offer any search content related to piracy culture. Searching for thousands of miles, I can't find any pirated music, pirated movies, pirated novels and other related content.
The links they provide are all cultural links with genuine authorization. They purely rely on the in-depth mining of search technology to compete with super search in the market.
However, due to the inability to find pirated things, Qianli Search's share of the host search market has been very suppressed by super search.
However, because of the strategy of adhering to genuine search, Qianli Search has won the full support and praise of the cultural circle. The genuine resources of the general cultural circle are willing to be provided to Qianli Search for free, so that Qianli Search can expand the market of genuine search.
In this plane, mainstream musicians, filmmakers, and cultural people have never cooperated with Super Search, and they all wish that Super Search could be killed by Qianli Search as soon as possible.
But netizens who love free sex are very supportive of super search. This has made the piracy search business of Super Search bigger and bigger, and they have even divided into many sections to make their own comprehensive search lists, such as music lists, movie lists, novel lists, etc.
Each of the Super Search rankings is evaluated based on the number of pirated downloads.
This kind of list is the most red for original culture. Bare. nude analysis and blows, but I have to say that this kind of list is also the most reflective of the hottest works on the Internet at the moment.
Although such a list has boosted the development of piracy, to a certain extent, it has also promoted original culture.
Let's take music as an example, there are some online divine comedies, after they become popular on the super search list, original musicians will immediately release genuine singles, trying to gain the support of some genuine users.
Often the most popular works on the super search list, after the release of genuine albums, can achieve a pretty good result.
For those independent musicians who don't have the support of big companies, the super search list is the best publicity for their works.
Today, the pirated plate of super search is getting bigger and bigger, and even the big four record companies have to pay attention to this list.
Now, Lin Zaishan's "White Birch Forest" won the championship with sand painting, and under the promotion of many TV stations, it has entered the list strongly, which makes Wu Yifan see huge business opportunities.
At this time, if "White Birch Forest" can release a genuine single album and hit the major regular charts, it is very promising to create a craze.
In doing so, it can also curry favor with the Dahua royal family, so Wu Yifan especially hopes that Lin Zaishan's single album can be produced and released by Caidie.
He then smoked a cigar and told Lin Zaishan about his idea.
"Lao Lin, taking advantage of this current momentum, I want to release a single album to hit the major charts, there is a great chance to hit the top, and the sales of this single album are estimated to be low, how about it, are you interested in doing it?"
Of course Lin Zaishan is willing to do it, but if he wants to go to major radio and television stations to hit the charts, it will cost money, and with Beyond's current financial resources, he is not able to support singers to hit the charts on a large scale. It's a good choice to leave it to Caidie to do.
Subsequently, the two agreed to release the single album in a way that was co-produced by both companies, similar to the way Lin Zaishan "Singer-Songwriter" album.
This thing must be done quickly, we must seize the gust of wind of "White Birch Forest" sand painting winning the championship, and all major TV stations are currently broadcasting Windsortha's champion work, which is the best publicity for the song "White Birch Forest", and it is free.
On the morning of the same day, Lin Zaishan and Wu Yifan discussed all the details of the cooperation of this single album and signed a cooperation agreement.
This single album is produced in accordance with the mainstream small-cap specifications in the market, and the price is also set at the small-cap price of the mainstream singles in the market - 10 yuan.
Relying on the production channels of the parent company of China Entertainment, Caidie can compress the production cost to 3 yuan, remove the cost of channel distribution and taxes, and for every record sold, they will have 3. $5 net profit.
This profit, Caidie is divided into 2 yuan, and Beyond and Lin Zaishan share 1 together. $5. (To be continued.) )
