"Sunset Song" is adapted from Han Jinna's best-selling Japanese song "Xiyan けの歌", and the sales have been tested by the market, so the record company is very confident in this song. ／／

In addition, this song is indeed a good song, and it has been sung by Han Jin himself, and later people know how to sing it when they sing it, so it is easier to go further. Maybe you can also use singing skills to beat Han Jin as a selling point for publicity, and then you can hype it up.

It's normal for a cover song to sound better than the original, because the original song has already given the cover a direction and let it know how to perform the song correctly. The cover only needs to go one step further in this area to be even more brilliant than the original song. It is equivalent to the original song paving a long road, and the cover song will go further than the original song if it goes forward according to the road paved by the original song.

All musicians understand this, so even if the cover is sung well, there is nothing surprising in fact. But for outsiders who don't know how to do it, if the cover is better than the original song, they will look down on the original song and think that he is not as good as a newcomer. In this way, the newcomer is very easy to shine, and even stepped on the shoulder of the original singer to ascend the position.

"Sunset Song" has been performed by Han Jin, and everyone knows how to sing it, so it can be sung better than him, so this is a very easy song to shine. Therefore, the competition between record companies is very strong.

Kangyi Chengyin, Polygram, Huaxing, EMI, Sony, etc. have competed, and the price has been raised again and again. From the reserve price of 100,000 yuan all the way to soaring, 10,000 yuan for one card, 10,000 yuan for one card, it has risen to 350,000 yuan in a moment, and now there are three records of Kangyi Chengyin, Polygram and Huaxing to compete.

Polygram wanted to give this song to its newcomer Chen Huixian to sing. Since Xu Xiaofeng left PolyGrams last year to devote herself to Kangyi Chengyin, Polygram has faced the dilemma of a lack of leading female singers.

Except for Xu Xiaofeng, it is difficult for other female singers to hold up, so it is their choice to promote newcomers now. And Chen Huixian has good singing skills and strong understanding, which is very valued by the company. That's why I didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money on her this time.

Kang Yi Chengyin also wanted to shoot this song. Sing for the leading singer Xu Xiaofeng. "Sunset Song" contains endless sorrow and sighs, which is very much for Sister Xiaofeng's singing path.

Sister Xiaofeng spent a whole year with "The Year of Flowing Water" last year, and if she gets this song again this time, then she won't have to worry about it this year. Don't be afraid of being crossed by others.

Huaxing Records wanted to sing this song to Mei Yanfang. Her own vicissitudes of temperament that have gone through the red dust. It's perfect for this atmospheric song. In other words, the song seems to have been born for her.

Mei Yanfang didn't compete with Xu Xiaofeng in "The Year of Flowing Water" last year, but she was able to rely on that song for another year. It's impossible to give her anything this year.

Although there is only one step between the "first line" and the "first sister" in the music world, it is very difficult to take this step.

Mei Yanfang is popular enough now, but she still lacks good works to support it. If she got "The Year of Flowing Water" last year, she would have been able to squeeze Xu Xiaofeng out of the next sister throne this year.

But it's a pity that Huaxing Records thought the bid was too high at that time, so it didn't continue to shout up, and it has been cited by Su Xiaoliang as a regret in his life. With the lessons of the past, this time Huaxing Records said that it would not retreat.

The three parties coaxed all the way, and soon reached the threshold of 450,000, and Polygram was a little unable to support it. They originally thought that they could take down the song for 400,000 yuan, but they didn't expect Huaxing Records and Kang Yi Chengyin to compete so fiercely, and when they called 400,000, the two companies still had no intention of backing down.

It seems that this time it's not just as simple as competing for a song, but is involved in the battle of a sister again. Mei Yanfang's popularity is no worse than Xu Xiaofeng's now, but in terms of works, there are only a few classics such as "Bad Girl" and "Red Temptation" for the time being, which are far less profound than Xu Xiaofeng's heritage.

Therefore, this "Sunset Song" may be related to whether she can ascend to the throne, so no matter how much money it spends, it is worth it. You don't see that Xu Xiaofeng held two concerts in the Red Pavilion last year, ten at one time and eight at once, a total of eighteen concerts, and he is the most powerful singer in Hong Kong. This is the demonstration of the strength of her first sister in the music world.

And her appearance fee is as high as 450,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the income of 18 concerts is nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Now it's just a little money to buy a song, and Kang Yi Chengyin is naturally willing to spend money. Even if it can afford it, Xu Xiaofeng will stand up and buy the song herself.

Kang Yi Chengyin and Hua Xing continued to compete, and the 11,000 continued to rise, and soon it had exceeded 500,000, which had broken the record set by Tan Yilin last year.

The guests here were also dumbfounded, last year's "The Root of Love" sold for 500,000 yuan was already shocking, and now the third song has only started, which has broken last year's highest record. "Is it possible to break through one million this year?!" Many people thought in surprise.

If a song really sells more than one million, it will be really difficult to recover the cost unless it is a sales volume of more than double platinum.

Yu Zheng, who was in charge of shouting the price, was also shocked at the moment, she knew that her mouth was 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. I have been the master of ceremonies for so long, and I realized what "Chrysostom" is.

Coaxed all the way to 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, Kang Yi Chengyin retreated, and Xu Xiaofeng began to continue to shout, "650,000!" She shouted directly.

Sister Xiaofeng is old, has a rich net worth, and is completely ignored by hundreds of thousands, and she has that capital and confidence. Huaxing Records is not to be outdone, this time everything is going to grab this song! "Seven hundred thousand!" Su Xiaoliang also shouted.

Everyone present was stunned by the local tyrant style of these two people, and it was scary enough to think that a song could sell for 700,000 yuan.

However, Huaxing Records and Kang Yi Chengyin have plans. The new album has this song, plus a few other songs. The total cost is only two million, as long as you can sell double platinum, you can pay for the cost, and if you sell more than three platinum, you can make a lot of money.

And Han Jin's song sales have always been very guaranteed, and the double platinum is only the basic sales, and last year, Tan Yanlin's "The Root of Love" alone reached 200,000 copies. Mei Yanfang's "Bad Girl" also sold seven platinum sales, and Xu Xiaofeng's "Like a Year of Water" also sold six platinum sales.

Coupled with the income from holding concerts, running commercial performances, advertising, and making endorsements, this investment of hundreds of thousands is really nothing.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!" Xu Xiaofeng shouted again. As long as she can keep her position as the first sister. She is willing to spend as much as she wants.

"Eight hundred thousand!" Su Xiaoliang also did not show weakness, as long as she can be arched from the throne of the first sister, it is worth it.

The two of you are competing for me, and the price code is quickly approaching the million Hong Kong dollar mark.

At this moment, all the guests couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads. That's a scary price. Many small record companies are scared. They prepared 300,000 Hong Kong dollars this time. I was going to be able to buy a song, but now it seems that I don't even have a bird feather.

When 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars were called, Huaxing Records withdrew. Mei Yanfang stood up on her own. She knows that this song is related to whether she can become the first sister in the Hong Kong music scene, so this is not only a battle of songs, but also a battle of morale and status, no matter what, she can't back down this time, otherwise she will wait to be pressed by Xu Xiaofeng for another year.

"One million and four million!" Mei Yanfang shouted loudly by herself, shouting out a word, and the representative of the popular record slipped directly from his seat in fright.

Yu Zheng almost threw the auction hammer in his hand on the ground, 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars a song, which can really be regarded as a sky-high price. You must know that a thousand-foot mansion in Mong Kok is only 670,000 Hong Kong dollars, and this song can buy two houses, which is really unbelievable.

However, Han Jin knew that the value of a good song was far greater than the price of two houses, and even the price of a villa. In the United States, a pop song earned as much as $7.5 million in performance royalties, $2 million in performance royalties for the year-end top songs on the Billboard charts, and $800,000 in overseas royalties for the top 10 songs on the Billboard charts...... In other words, a songwriter can earn so much with the performance royalties of a song.

And that's not counting the income from recording royalties, simultaneous royalties, and printing royalties, so to speak, if a musician in the United States writes a popular song, then he can basically eat and drink spicy with this song.

In Hong Kong, they are also musicians, and they can also create good works, but their income is very different from their American counterparts. People eat fragrant and spicy food, and it's good that musicians here in Hong Kong can support themselves. Even well-known people like Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, and Lin Xi did not make too much money by writing songs.

The main reason is that in Hong Kong, there is not a strong awareness of copyright protection for music, and the laws and regulations formulated are not perfect, so it is impossible to guarantee the legitimate income of musicians.

Han Jin is now auctioning songs at sky-high prices through song auctions, but in his opinion, he still loses more than he gains. A song can bring millions of profits to record companies and singers, but he can only get a small share, which is quite unfair to him. You must know that in the United States, Japan, South Korea and other places, songwriters earn more than singers.

……

Mei Yanfang's shouting of the sky-high price of 1.4 million did not scare Xu Xiaofeng away, but on the contrary, it directly hooked her anger.

Seeing that this junior dared to compete with him face-to-face, Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be angry.

You must know that when Mei Yanfang first debuted, under the name of "Little Xu Xiaofeng", she also sang Xu Xiaofeng's classic song "The Season of the Wind". But I didn't expect that in just two years, she had already begun to kick her nose and face, wanting to step on her shoulders to get on the top, which was really unbearable for Xu Xiaofeng, and she felt as if she had been deceived.

"One million six million!" Xu Xiaofeng shouted directly. Now it is no longer a competition of a simple song, but a battle of will. If he didn't take this breath, Xu Xiaofeng was worried that he would probably burst his blood vessels.

"One million eight million!" Mei Yanfang also shouted without showing weakness.

It has been two years since her debut, and she has saved a little money. Although she is not as rich as Xu Xiaofeng's net worth, she is also ruthless for the sake of her future.

"Two million!" Xu Xiaofeng saw that she was still clenching on, and shouted again to count.

"Amei, take it easy, if you shout it any further, it is likely that you will not be able to recover the cost." Su Xiaoliang kindly reminded.

A song costs 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and then counting the cost of other songs, the cost of publicity, the cost of recording, etc., if it can't be sold for four platinums, you will have to lose money, and the risk is very high.

"Two and a half million!" Mei Yanfang gritted her teeth and shouted out another number, she was really unwilling to lose again this time.

Dao.

Xu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment and did not continue to shout.

"Two and a half million for the first time, two and a half million for the second time, two and a half million for the third time! Deal! Congratulations to Miss Mei Yanfang for winning this song! Yu Zheng snapped and said. (To be continued!u.)
