Chapter 230: The Charm of the Country
Zhang Yao has a contract with Universal Music, but has absolute autonomy. Smith said goodbye, and he was just told not to forget about the album.
Also, it's almost time to go around other places, there are already so many fans all over the world, and it's just going around the United States and the Celestial Empire, and it's time to give fans in other countries some opportunities to meet their idols.
Riding the plane of the Celestial Empire, Ai Xiaoqi also said: "I think Danny is right, going around Europe and other places can not only satisfy fans, but also make a lot of money, why not." ”
"He just always wanted to be a star, and he felt troublesome."
Zheng Xiao also opened his mouth leisurely, and Zhang Yao defended: "Who said that I am troublesome, if this is the case, I will run around the country before?" Will you travel the world with the Vienna Philharmonic? ”
"Well, the latter one is a last resort." Zhang Yao himself found this reason unconvincing.
"I'm definitely going to go, but not now."
Hoshino Asuka said: "It's useless to talk about this now, since you agreed to go to the talent show platform, how can you have time to do anything else." ”
"That's right, so let's see the plan next year, and it's not bad to have a global tour when you have time."
Zhang Yao followed: "By the way, what is the current concert record, it seems quite interesting to create a record with the most tours." ”
"What's the meaning of having more shows, it takes more people to have more gold content."
Ai Xiaoqi rolled her eyes and said, "But Ai Xiaoqi is right, it's too early to say this." Let's take the time to prepare the album first. The draft didn't seem to be able to go down for three or four months. It's time-consuming. ”
"I still don't understand why I have to use the draft."
Zheng Xiaoyi said: "It's okay to call the competition directly, instrumental music performance is different from singing, can you still choose idols?" ”
Zhang Yao was also a little confused, so he could only say: "Didn't you say that in order to get more attention, maybe the musicians association already has a good idea, so let's meet them first." ”
When I returned to China, I learned that this draft event, which is known as the charm of the country, has begun to be hyped. Seeing that the investment in the formation is not low, the musicians association has made a lot of money.
Zhang Yao and the others returned to Qingxi first, and then dispersed after a short stay, Christine went to the crew to report, and it would probably take about half a year to film, Ai Xiaoqi and Hoshino Asuka stayed in Qingxi, and Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao also set off for Jiangnan.
The musicians association are all old friends, and under their introduction, I met the people of Jiangnan Satellite TV, and the first thing in the tripartite meeting was to discuss cooperation.
"Thank you very much for your support. We'd like to start by talking about compensation. ”
The musicians association first said: "The two are now international superstars, and they are both worth hundreds of millions. Rather, it is still calculated in US dollars, and if the market price is given, we will definitely not be able to afford it. ”
Zheng Xiaoyi said before that they can't afford to be invited, this is not self-boasting, the two of them are originally international kings and queens who are in the limelight, not to mention their high value, who will be the judges or guests of the popular big-name idols.
On the one hand, you can make money to earn appearances, although the viper has hit others and hurt the self-esteem of the players, but life attacks can create topics, as long as you can enter the public eye again, who cares if there is a bottom line.
"It doesn't matter if you get paid, you don't care if you don't give it to us."
Zhang Yao said: "We are here for traditional musical instruments, and I am also an old acquaintance with your association, friendship is not a problem, what we want to know now is, what do you want to do specifically?" ”
Zheng Xiao also nodded and said: "Promoting traditional culture is what we value, if it is an ordinary draft, if you really give us an appearance fee at the market price, we will not come." ”
"We also know this, but after all, this is profitable, so we can't just make money on our own, and it won't become a use of you."
This time, it was Jiangnan Satellite TV who spoke, and their expressions and tone were very kind, and Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao also had a lot more affection for them, so they said: "It's certain to make money, it's hard to say whether you can make a profit, you should know the difficulty better, right?" ”
TV stations make money, which is nothing more than naming fees and advertising fees, and the draft is indeed very profitable because of the large number of people who pay attention to it, but this is not exactly the same as the draft after all, and it is a fact that traditional musical instruments are not welcomed.
"We're also having a headache right now, although it's a draft brand, but it's actually just a game."
The musicians association said helplessly: "Therefore, it is still a question of how many people can be attracted to watch, and maybe it will really be lost, so we hesitate to issue the appearance fee of the two." ”
This draft is jointly funded by Jiangnan Satellite TV and the Musicians Association, and Jiangnan Satellite TV was chosen before, first, Jiangnan Satellite TV has been suppressed for a long time, and has always wanted to surpass other satellite TVs.
But the area south of the Yangtze River is poetic enough, and traditional musical instruments want this kind of artistic conception, West Lake, gardens, and ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River are the places where literati and sorcerers like to stop.
"That's how we plan it, just like the process of the audition, first select a skilled one, and then go to the knockout round, and the winner will be promoted by our musicians association and arranged to perform."
Although traditional musical instruments are becoming more and more forgotten, it is not difficult for musicians' associations to do this, and the state is also protecting them, and there are still more or less performances.
"I don't think there are many people who really understand music."
Zheng Xiao also said: "Just like symphony and piano and other instrumental music, there are few people who really understand, and traditional musical instruments are now at a disadvantage, most people feel that listening to symphony is very high-end, and they can go out and pretend to be forced, because they don't have to worry about selling tickets, but traditional musical instruments can't be forced, and they don't rely on this to attract people." ”
The people from Jiangnan Satellite TV smiled bitterly and said, "We also know this, but there is really no way." It's really hard to get attention without gimmicks, so when you think about it, all you can think of is to invite the two of you and use your popularity to increase attention. ”
"Gimmicks are indeed essential, and who has let traditional culture fall to the bottom."
Zhang Yao also sighed and said, "I have an idea, you can see if it can be done." ”
Zhang Yao lit the table with his hand and said, "No need for the audition...... Well, it can't be said that it is not necessary, but in another form, Sister Xiaoyi and I are not guests or judges, but team leaders. ”
Zhang Yao moved the original set of good voices, in fact, the previous "Voice of Dreams" except for the blind selection of this step, the others are similar to good voices.
Zhang Yao, a traditional musical instrument, can make friends, but Zheng Xiao can't either, so he can't be said to be a mentor. He continued: "We went straight to the live show, and at the beginning I turned my back to the contestants, and if the music they played moved us, we turned around, and whoever turned around would enter their team. ”
"Are we both turning around at the same time?"
Zheng Xiao also seemed very interested in this, and immediately asked, Zhang Yao said: "Of course, let the contestants choose who to follow." ”
"Pick a certain number of players and start the knockout round."
The people of Jiangnan Satellite TV couldn't help but answer: "This choice hairstyle is full of gimmicks, I think it's feasible, but in the future, is it according to Caiyun Satellite TV's dream voice, first select the first place in your own group, and then PK each other, isn't it a bit too little to divide into two teams in this way?" ”
"My idea is to have a set of PK in each phase in the future, until there is only one player left, and if there is a situation where one team loses, then the other group is the winner, and then there is a civil war to determine the first place. Of course, it's okay to follow the rules of Dream Sound, but you'll have to find a few team leaders before that. ”
"Well, it's better to do what you want."
The musicians association said: "Now the two of you are the biggest names in the world, almost a level are Europeans and Americans, those people don't know anything about our traditional instruments, the gap is too big for people to become a foil, it is estimated that no one is happy, if the players only choose the two of you, it will be embarrassing." ”
"How can it be so exaggerated, and you can also invite those respected old-timers in the traditional instrumental music industry."
Zheng Xiao also said: "But it's up to you to decide, I think Zhang Yao's idea is also very good." ”
"It's better that this is it, our ads have been sold, and it will be difficult to find the right person in a short period of time."
The musicians' guild first typeset and then asked, "What do you think?" ”
"No opinion, now let's talk about the remuneration."
The people of Jiangnan Satellite TV turned the topic back and said: "First of all, I would like to thank the two of you for your strong support, now it's not clear what the show is like, we have invested a lot, and if we lose money, it will be a heavy blow to us." ”
"Since the two of you said so, I won't be hypocritical, I won't pay according to the appearance fee, and I will give you a certain proportion when the time comes, if you can make money, then you can get the best of both worlds, and more people will pay attention to traditional musical instruments in the future, if you can't pass on the money, then you can only say sorry to the two."
Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi glanced at each other, then smiled and said: "We have no opinion, so let's do it, I will write some songs to help, and I don't dare to say the effect now, let's work together." ”
After negotiating, the contract was signed, and then Jiangnan Satellite TV announced the joining of Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi, and the publicity of all channels before was not as useful as this news.
Originally, the talent media of this country's charm just reported it casually, because there were too many talent shows in recent years, and traditional musical instruments were nothing more than another gimmick, and no one cared, and the two of them joined, and the nature immediately became different.
