Chapter 181: Competition
On this day in early August, after an hour of unbearable heat in the evening, suddenly thunder and torrential rain poured down, and Shangcheng suddenly seemed to become a city of water.
Qin Shiyue has been very busy these days, after the launch of the last album, sales led the domestic record market this year, and his popularity soared further, with a steady stream of advertising endorsements and commercial performances, and even some film companies also invited Qin Shiyue to sing and act.
After a few weeks of continuous rotation, on this day, Qin Shiyue finally didn't have to go out to shoot commercials or commercial performances, and could go home early and throw herself into the bathtub as much as possible.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, seeing that the entire Shangdu City has become a big bathtub, this kind of rainfall, it is obviously unsafe to drive, Qin Shiyue had to continue to stay in his office, bored browsing the computer web.
"Ye Luo's new masterpiece, officially opened"
"This guy, it's starting again." Qin Shiyue looked at the headlines of this web page, and felt like she couldn't cry or laugh.
It seems that every time Ye Luo has a new move, the headlines of major websites will be quickly occupied by him. Today, even if there is such a big thing as the establishment of Tian Lai Records, Ye Luo's news can still occupy the front page of some websites, and the title of the headline prince is well deserved.
Following the guidance of this news, Qin Shiyue clicked into the official homepage of Universal.
The whole page is mainly divided into two columns, in the most eye-catching position, starting with Chu Moer's "Meet" and Ye Luo's "Legend", the song titles are highlighted, and behind these two songs, the other positions are one after another question marks, next to the question mark, the date of release is marked, the most recent is a week later.
Let's take a look at Ye Luo's music zone page, which is right in the middle of the zone. The same section design as Chu Moer, with "The Journey of Love" as the general title, but unlike the global page, there is a netizen discussion area under Ye Luo's special area, which is already very lively now.
"The journey of love? What is this? ”
"It's the same time as Chu Mo'er's new song. It's a series! Tall and tall feeling wood has wood? ”
"It's unknown, but it's great!"
"Ye Shen's new song must be good. And it's also paired with the new song of the goddess of Chu, I'm looking forward to it! ”
"Ye Dashen's Weibo 'Landing Audio' fan group sent a congratulatory message!"
"Ye Da Qianxun posted a congratulatory message from the fan group! I wish Ye Dada's new song a big hit. ”
"If the first pair of songs is "Meet" and "Legend", it means that the man and woman have just met, the girl is waiting for love, and the boy falls in love with the girl at first sight, and the journey of love begins. A pair of songs after that. It's probably a song about the early days of a relationship, but I don't know if I'm right. ”
"Ye Shen's thoughts, but you and I mortals can snoop? Don't think about it, just come out and listen to it. ”
……
"Call and ask this guy in a moment." Qin Shiyue looked at the comments and said to herself, "What kind of song is it, mysterious and mysterious." ”
Qin Shiyue said as she clicked on another web page.
"The headlines are finally not this guy's." Qin Shiyue looked at the title on the web page.
"Heavy! Deng Qi joins Ethereal Records! 》
Qin Shiyue was a little strange. "Deng Qi is doing well in the world, but the new album is still selling well? Why do you want to change jobs? The penalty should be quite a lot. ”
"Miss Qin!" Qin Shiyue's assistant pushed the door out at this time. With a happy face, "There is good news!" ”
"Oh?"
"Miss Wen Yuanshan has just announced that she has joined Tian Lai Records!"
"That's good news!" Qin Shiyue couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister Wen has always taken care of me." ”
"But as soon as she leaves, you will be the undisputed first female singer of your dreams!" The female assistant said, "I think the company will do its best to support you and make you a diva in the domestic music scene." ”
"You." Qin Shiyue shook her head. "Whether you can become a diva or not, the company supports these, it is only one aspect, the most important thing is to see your own ability. And the quality of the record itself. ”
"Hmm." The female assistant nodded, "Speaking of which, as soon as this Tian Lai Record was established, it was really a heavy punch, and the two queens of Universal, Deng Qi and Zhen Zhi, were all dug up by them at sky-high prices, and so did Wen Yuanshan of our company." In this way, in the field of female singers, they already have three diva-level figures.
In terms of male singers, they were originally stronger than Universal and Dream after gathering five record companies, and now they have poached Universal's number one king Tang Jian.
Universal has really had a bad year this year, the signing of cutting-edge girls has stumbled, and now the three strongest singers have all jumped ship. It seems that in the future, they can only rely on Chu Mo'er and Xiao Qiong to support the scene. ”
"Hmm." Qin Shiyue nodded, and then said, "However, the collaborator of Dream and Global Youye Luo should still be invincible, at least not too passive." ”
"I hope so."
……
Universal Entertainment.
"What are you guys up to!" On the other end of the phone, Chen Tianhua's voice exploded like thunder.
Xiong Pinggui's hand holding the phone obviously trembled a little, and his Adam's apple moved, but he didn't say anything.
"What happened to Ye Luo last time, you have made Universal miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Chen Tianhua's voice was filled with irrepressible anger, "What now? Let's not make the singer's signing contract too harsh! Don't think that the world is the first in the world! Now that people have been poached and run away, and let me think of a way, what can I do?! ”
"Director Chen." Xiong Pinggui took the phone farther away, quietly waited for Chen Tianhua to finish scolding, and then said, "I mean, we can't do anything about the ones that have been poached, but we haven't left yet, see if you can give them a call and play the favor card." After all, most of the singers under the Universal banner are held by you. ”
Chen Tianhua, who was far away in the United States, took a deep breath, stabilized his feelings, and then said: "Deng Qi, Zhen Zhi, Tang Jian, as soon as these three people leave, it doesn't matter if the other singers stay or not, the singers of the older generation are far inferior to these three people in terms of popularity, and people don't look down on them." With Ding Shaoyang in the natural sound of the pass, it is inevitable that the domestic record sales market, natural sound will dominate in a short period of time, and there is no one who can compete with Ding Shaoyang among the music producers currently working in the world.
However, there are two people you must catch, one is Chu Mo'er and the other is Song Yan. As long as they are there, the global domestic market will be stable. ”
"Then what do you mean, do you still want to see Ye Luo?" Xiong Pinggui asked.
"Yes, you must try your best to match Ye Luo's creative intentions." Chen Tianhua paused, and then said, "At present, what Universal can entrust with important tasks is these new singers of cutting-edge girls, Chu Moer and Song Yan's records, and it is not a big problem to hand over to Ye Luo to take care of them." Long Miaoqin, you also have to let Zu Shaoyuan and them do their best to escort her. ”
"What about Xiao Qiong?"
"Xiao Qiong can take the international route and transfer to the United States, I will come in person." Chen Tianhua said, "There is also a new person here. ”
"Okay, I'll tell the chairman what you mean, and see what he arranges, right?"
"Hmm."
……
In the western suburbs of Tianjing, in the living room of a private villa.
Yan Wuji, the Taishan Beidou in the Chinese pop music industry, picked up the teacup, gently blew open the tea leaves floating on the surface of the cup, took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "So, you have all joined Tianlai?" ”
Jia Qing, Gao Pan, Zhan Hongkai, Luo Xingzhou, and Xu Yuanhua sat opposite Yan Wuji, their faces were a little cramped and uneasy, and there were five cups of fragrant tea on the coffee table, but no one dared to move.
"Yes." Jia Qing said embarrassedly, "Teacher Yan, we came to the door this time to confess to you, we have all been guided by you before, but now we have to compete with the world, I really don't want to go." ”
Yan Wuji smiled slightly and waved his hand freely: "You have also been idle for many years, playing music for most of your life, and you have nowhere to call for your ability, it's a pity." This time I went out of the mountain to join the natural sounds, and the good birds chose the trees to perch, and I won't blame you. When Xiaosha left Tianjing and went to Shangdu to create a dream, didn't I laugh it off? ”
"You're right." Luo Xingzhou said respectfully.
"Competition is the driving force to maintain vitality and promote progress." Yan Wuji said slowly, "China's music industry also needs competition, so that it can continue to improve. That's why I acquiesced to Xiaosha to create a dream, and when Chen Tianhua's group came out in 95, I only picked Chen Tianhua. If it was really just the world's dominance, then Chinese music would have died a long time ago.
I've lived for seventy years, money, I've earned enough for a long time. The only thing I want to see now is Chinese music, which is getting better and better day by day.
Since you are out of the mountain this time, you must work hard, like Xiaosha, and go all out to make good music, so that my friendship with you will not be wasted. ”
The five musicians had red circles in their eyes and nodded incessantly...... (To be continued......)
