Chapter 199: Free
"Mike, come to my office!"
Early in the morning, Mike was called to the office by his boss Simpson.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Mike, who had slept late last night and hadn't woken up much at the moment, asked with a yawn.
Simpson knew that Mike accompanied him to the company late last night, and he didn't say much about Mike's state, but handed Mike the latest newspaper today: "Look at this report." ”
Although Mike wondered why Simpson let him read the report, he still took Simpson's newspaper and read it. This newspaper is none other than Apple Entertainment News, which reported in detail the incident of Lu Li's beating of Bowen.
After reading the whole report, Mike probably knew what Simpson meant, which was nothing more than asking himself if he wanted to continue to buy the right to play Lu Li's live video now that something like this happened.
Sure enough, seeing that Mike finished reading the newspaper, Simpson asked: "Mike, you are my military advisor, do you say that according to the current situation, is it necessary for our Vimo website to continue to buy the copyright of Huaxia Lu's live dance video?" ”
Mike didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Buy, don't buy anything for nothing." Boss, although many people in the United States are now criticizing Lu Li, they are only criticizing Lu Li himself, not Lu Li's dance, which does not affect people's admiration for that magical dance step. Therefore, buying this video will definitely bring a lot of traffic to our website. And you and I all know how the entertainment industry is, news like this is only temporary, and few people will mention it again when the limelight passes. ”
Although Simpson was still a little hesitant, since Mike said to buy it, then buy it. He's the boss. I'm also older, so I'm usually a little more indecisive when making decisions. But Mike is young and decisive. The vision is very good, and Simpson is still very serious about Mike.
And Mike's suggestion can indeed make Vimore's website profitable, just like the purchase of the Voice of America's webcast rights this time, which was Mike's idea, and brought countless benefits to Vimore's website. So when Mike said that he wanted to buy the rights to Lu Li's live video, Simpson agreed.
"Okay, it's still up to you to contact Fm TV to buy the broadcast rights." After deciding, Simpson said to Mike.
"No problem." Mike patted his chest and agreed.
After Lu Li wrote a single for Erin and Akon. found the two: "Erin, Aken, I'm about to go back to Huaxia." Before leaving, I wrote a single for each of you, you take it, the accompaniment of the song has been prepared and placed in Manager Lu Qiang's place, and when you are ready, you can ask Manager Lu to contact the recording studio to record the song. Once you're done recording, you can release the single. As for the album, I'll take the time to write it for you and pass it on to you. ”
Now that the Voice of America has not long ended, the popularity of the Voice of America students is still there, so Lu Li is in a hurry to let Erin and Akon release the single.
For those who enter the entertainment industry through the draft, generally if there are no good works after the talent show, the heat will soon be forgotten by everyone after a period of time. And the best way to maintain popularity is to release a good work when the popularity is hot, so that it can become popular quickly. After that, as long as it can stay above the level. It is easier to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. I believe that now other entertainment companies that have signed up for VOA students are also busy preparing works for their signed.
Of course, this is a process of survival of the fittest, and it doesn't matter whether other companies can support the people they sign. It doesn't matter, Lu Li only cares about Erin and Akon who stay.
In fact, on the earth, The Voice has another way to make money when the students are popular, and that is the Voice concert. Of course, this concert can also maintain the popularity of The Voice contestants to a certain extent. But now Lu Li doesn't want to do this, he feels that this is a bit troublesome, after all, many of the students of the Voice of America have been signed away by others, and if you want to hold a Voice of America concert, you must pay the appearance fees of these people. Although in the end, Lu Li's side made money, but Lu Li didn't want to that heart.
Hearing Lu Li's words, Erin and Akon were a little surprised. Because it hasn't been long since Lu Li has already written two songs? How can you write a song so fast.
However, although they were surprised, the two of them did not show it on their faces, but quietly took the lyrics and songs handed by Lu Li and watched them carefully.
“Girlfriend。”
“Rightnow。”
After the two got the lyrics and songs, they read out their respective song titles at the same time.
"Girlfriend" is Avril's third studio album, TheBestDamnThing, which has not only received positive praise from critics, but has also been a worldwide success, becoming popular in many countries and certified platinum in both the United States and Canada. And Avril also recorded the new song in 8 Chinese languages. In 2007, the song set a sales record of 7.3 million, becoming the best-selling song of the year.
"Rightnow" is a song from Akon's 2008 album "Freedom". Akon's album introduces more European party music elements, and the synthesizer sound in "Rightnow" is a clear proof that Akon is moving closer to European electronic dance music. The song was a huge success, reaching No. 18 on the Billboard Top 100 list in its first week as a single.
In order to increase the popularity of Erin and Akon, Lu Li has no worries, and the first single prepared for the two is a very classic song.
Of course, Lu Li's ambitions don't stop there, he hopes that these two classic songs can quickly open up the European and American markets for the two. The works in Lu Li's mind are destined to be not limited to the Chinese music market, but also to the international market. This is also the reason why Lu Li will perform Billy King on the peak night of the Voice of America, which is equivalent to paving the way for the future.
Erin and Akon didn't think that the songs Lu Li wrote so quickly were very good at first, after all, the time to create them was too short. But after the two finished reading the lyrics and songs, they realized that their thoughts were wrong, and they were very wrong.
The two glanced at each other after reading the lyrics and songs, and they both saw a look of surprise and joy in each other's eyes.
This song is not only excellent, it is simply a classic!
At the same time, no matter what reason the two chose to stay in Farewell Entertainment, now the two of them are very happy, at least now it can be roughly seen that their choice is not wrong. Maybe the strength of Biel Entertainment in other aspects is not as good as other big companies, but as long as it can ensure that there are classic songs, then it will soon be able to develop its strength in other aspects.
"Well, these two songs are very good, so I hope you two can sing them well, I'm very optimistic about you." The quality of these two songs is there, so Lu Li is not modest, let the two sing well, don't live up to such a song.
Both Erin and Akon nodded excitedly when they heard this, and then went down to study the song very excitedly.
"Lu Li, there is something I would like to discuss with you." As soon as Erin and Akon walked on the front foot, Lu Qiang came to Lu Li on the back foot.
Lu Li was about to go back to Huaxia to tell Lu Qiang that there was nothing to do, but he didn't expect Lu Qiang to come over at this time: "Brother Qiang, what's the matter?" ”
"That's right, just now someone from the Vimo website contacted me and said that they wanted to buy the playback rights of your live dance video, you see?" If it is the copyright of the general video, Lu Qiang directly decides. But Lu Li, the copyright of Lu Li's live dance that night, felt that the protagonist was Lu Li, so it was better to ask Lu Li's idea.
Lu Li didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but thought about it.
If you just sell the right to play this video to the Vimo website, then there is no doubt that Bie Entertainment will be able to get a lot of income immediately, but in this way, it will also limit the spread of Space Step in the world, which is not what Lu Li wants to see.
Lu Li is very confident that the space step can sweep the world, just like the earth, and is admired and imitated by countless people. But that's also if it can go viral. If not many people can see this video, then why is it popular?
So after thinking for a while, Lu Li said: "Brother Qiang, we don't sell the broadcast copyright of this video, but provide it to major video websites for free, and if you are willing to play this video, you can broadcast it, and if you don't want to broadcast it, we don't force it." ”
"Free?" Lu Qiang didn't figure out Lu Li's approach for a while, he didn't make anything for this money, and he actually gave it to others for free.
"Yes, it's free, Brother Qiang, don't be blinded by the immediate interests, what I want is a dance like Space Step to spread all over the world." Lu Li said confidently: "Not only in the United States and China, but also in other countries, only free can it spread quickly, otherwise I don't guarantee how many video websites will be willing to buy the broadcast copyright." And if there are few websites that play this video, then it will naturally not spread. I think free of charge can solve this problem, and many video sites can also upload videos by netizens. ”
"Okay." Lu Qiang didn't say much when he heard this. He didn't figure out this at first mainly because he didn't realize the charm of the space step, and now that Lu Li said so, he naturally couldn't say anything more.
"Well, Kaizi should have already finished post-processing that bit of video editing, you can just ask him directly. If there is nothing else to do here, Mengqi and I will go back to Huaxia first. Lu Li said when he saw that there was nothing wrong.
"It's okay, then I wish you a happy Tanabata in advance." Lu Qiang knew that Lu Li and Mengqi were going back to Huaxia for the Chinese Valentine's Day, but he didn't stay long, and smiled and blessed.
"Huh!"; Lu Li also laughed when he heard Lu Qiang's words: "If there is anything here, please call at any time." ”
After saying goodbye to Lu Qiang, Lu Li and Meng Qi booked a ticket to return to Huaxia. (To be continued......)
