Chapter 34: Killing
"Nanfeng, there are four days before the semi-finals, have you confirmed the songs in the semi-finals, why is there no movement at all?" Yi Sen found Nanfeng early in the morning and asked anxiously.
Because of the success of the previous song "Passionate Desert", Yi Sen has completely handed over the heavy responsibility to Nanfeng, but he didn't expect that by Tuesday, there was still no movement on Nanfeng's side, which made Yi Sen feel at ease.
"It's a bit of an eyebrow, but I'm wondering if I really want to choose this song." The south wind was a little embarrassed.
"Oh? Is there anything that makes you hesitate? Let's talk about it, let's refer to it together. Yi Sen laughed.
Yi Sen could see from Nanfeng that he attached great importance to the next semi-finals, and the original unhappiness disappeared in an instant.
"I noticed yesterday that Korean singer Jung Won-soon recently promoted his new album in China, so I went out of my way to listen to his title song, and it was indeed a really good song." Nanfeng thought for a moment and said.
"What's wrong? Do you want me to sing his song in the semi-finals? Yi Sen was a little unhappy, he was also a celebrity after all, singing the song of the Korean singer in the semi-finals of the singer competition, saying that he would inevitably be scolded, and it also made him unconsciously feel inferior, which he didn't like.
"Nam Wind, first of all, I don't speak Korean, Korean songs must not be sung well, this is still secondary, the key problem is that I am worried that the audience will not be able to accept it. From a personal point of view, I sing Zheng Yuanchun's songs, which is also of great benefit to the promotion of his new songs, and I am not happy to help others, especially Korean stick propaganda, and make money for us Chinese people for no reason. Yi Sen said what he thought.
"Brother Sen, in fact, I want to adapt Zheng Yuanchun's songs for the same purpose as you, I think Korean stars are very popular in China now, so I wonder if I can make everyone face up to their local star singers." Nanfeng explained.
"This kind of thing can't be done by you and me, right? Not to mention us, even if the five major entertainment companies in China join forces, they may not be able to do it, unless the media in China can join forces to resist the entry of foreigners, but this is impossible, on the one hand, it is unfair competition, and on the other hand, the blind xenophobic boycott is not conducive to the development of China's entertainment industry itself. Yi Sen completely rejected Nanfeng's idea, he felt that Nanfeng thought things too simply.
"I also know very well that I am not arrogant enough to change the entertainment industry with my own skills." Nanfeng smiled and shook his head, "I want to adapt the works of foreign singers, and let fans know that the local singers of Daohua are actually stronger and more powerful, and they may not be able to compete in popularity, but they must overwhelm their opponents in terms of strength." ”
"So what? What are your plans? ”
"Jung Won-soon is the king of Korean singers, the hottest singer in South Korea at the moment, and also represents the pinnacle of the Korean music scene, so I want to adapt his works and compare him with music!" Nanfeng said with high spirits.
"This is very good, if you have this confidence, I will naturally absolutely support you, so what are you hesitating about?" Yi Sen asked puzzled.
"There are several reasons for this." Nanfeng was a little embarrassed, "The first is the song adaptation, I think I must be better after I change it, but I'm afraid that the audience will not accept my adaptation, after all, the adapted music style is very different from the current popular music style." If the audience doesn't approve of my adaptation, it will undoubtedly be a good advertisement for Zheng Yuanchun. ”
"What is the problem, if you think it is good, then do it, the music style is not a problem, if your work is more loved by the public, then you are the one who leads the vane of pop music, I believe that with your talent, there will be good works." Yi Sen did not hesitate to give Nanfeng encouragement.
Yi Sen chose Nanfeng for the transformation, the last game was an attempt, and the result of the attempt was very gratifying, so he had to stick to this transformation to the end. Southwind was hesitant to challenge for a new style because he feared that the risk would affect Yi Sen's results in the semi-finals, but Yi Sen himself had no such worries at all.
For Yi Sen, he has already obtained what he wants in the last competition, and the pursuit of the title of singer is not as eager as some young singers, and this mentality is similar to that of McGurnam when he broke through the competition. The title of the singer is good, but every season there is a new singer, and the gold content of the so-called singer is naturally not high.
Most singers are keen to participate in the King of Singers Competition, mainly because this competition can bring them huge attention, everyone hopes to stay on this stage as much as possible, and can persist on this stage until the bottom, but there are not many people who really care about the King of Singers.
There is no elimination mechanism after the breakout competition, so even if the performance in the next round is worse, Yi Sen can hold on to the stage of the King of Singers to the bottom of the stage, and Yi Sen, who has no intention of pursuing the reputation of the King of Singers, naturally hopes to carry out the transformation to the end.
"If Brother Sen, you are willing to take a risk, then it is decided, but now there is another problem, and that is the issue of copyright." Namfeng continued, "We don't have a license, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to have someone from the company talk to the Koreans and solve the copyright problem." ”
Copyright is very important in the laws of various countries, and under normal circumstances, as long as it is not a commercial performance, it does not matter if you sing someone else's song in public, but after all, this song is owned by South Korea, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to solve the copyright problem, even if you can't buy the copyright of the other party, at least you must get permission to use it.
"This is a small problem, if we want to use this song to participate in the semi-finals of the King of Singers Competition, the Koreans will not hesitate to give us the copyright, after all, this is more beneficial to them than it is disadvantages, which is of great benefit to the promotion of their songs, and can quickly help them open up the situation of the Chinese market."
Yi Sen is a pity, he doesn't want to help others promote it for free: "I try to let the people in the company handle this matter in a low-key manner, and at the same time I also told the South Korean side that I hope they can help us keep it secret before the semi-finals." ”
"Don't, Brother Sen, that Zheng Yuanchun's new song is not well-known, but after the adaptation, no one knows about it, what a risky thing it is to sing a new song on the stage of the King of Singers Competition, I think you know better than me." Nanfeng hurriedly stopped Yi Sen's behavior, "We not only have to be high-profile, but it is best to make it known to everyone, which is the most beneficial for us!" ”
"For what?"
"First, it's to gather popularity, and second, it's natural to kill Koreans!"
