Chapter 360: Theme Song [Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
PS: xiexie Reverse Sky ¥ Demon God King's monthly pass!
Don't look at Jung Hyun-ho's promise to add Warcraft 3 to WCG's event, but this is just a mutually beneficial act for both parties.
Cui Zhengyuan is like a salesman who takes the initiative to come to the door, and happens to meet buyers who are in urgent need of such goods. Both sides take what they need, and there is no question of who has any favor for whom.
Besides, Cui Zhengyuan's face is thick, once the business is over, he immediately changes his face.
One thing is the same thing, and what Zheng Xianhao said now has nothing to do with the cooperation just now.
Zheng Xianhao's face was also dark, and there was nowhere to vent the depression in his heart.
This Cui Changchang, turning his face faster than turning a book. Just now, he was called a brother and a brother, but now he immediately took his position.
But what he's going to talk about is also in the form of cooperation. Whether it's ICM or Choi Jung-won, it's only good.
"That's right, after the first two editions, our WCG events are starting to get on the right track. In such a situation, how to strengthen the promotion of the event has become a top priority. No, according to the proposal of the publicity department, we intend to give this event its own theme song. Just like the Shijie Cup and the Olympic Games, each edition has an evocative theme song. Jung Hyun-ho said his intentions, and then looked at Choi Jung-won with a nervous expression, waiting for his reply.
Although there are many well-known musicians on this shijie, ICM is not unable to afford to hire them. But Choi Jung-won is Korean, so he naturally makes people feel friendly.
Secondly, he is also the most famous person on Shijie now. Now that it is close at hand, how can Jung Hyun-ho be willing to seek the near and far.
After listening to Jung Hyun-ho's words, Choi Jung-won was also very moved.
It's rewarding to produce and sing the theme song for an influential event. Not only can it improve fame, but it is also a recognition of the status of musicians.
The only thing that made him apprehensive was that Jung Hyun-ho said that he would imitate the Shijie Cup and the Olympics.
But as far as Cui Zhengyuan knows, the theme song of each Shijie Cup and the Olympic Games is different.
If it's really that level of event. Even if it's just for one session, it's a great honor. But the problem is that WCG can't be compared to the Shijie Cup or the Olympics anyway.
Interests have always been maximized, and Cui Zhengyuan doesn't like things that have little effect.
Thinking of this, he asked directly: "Is it only for one event to make the theme song?" ”
When questioned, his expression was less interested, more like a casual perfunctory.
Zheng Xianhao naturally noticed it, and after thinking about it a little, he understood why Choi Jung-won was like this.
At this time, WCG, which has just stepped on the right track, has not yet had the luxury of using a top artist like Choi Jung-won as a one-time promotional product.
Don't say now. Even WCG, which has become bigger and more famous in the future, does not have this qualification.
But if you hire Choi Jung-won to create an exclusive permanent theme song for WCG, the requirements for the track itself are very high.
First of all, the quality must be the best, otherwise for WCG, not only will it not be good, but on the contrary, it will be reduced in the minds of game fans.
Just like the previous Shijie Cup and the Olympic Games, not all opening ceremony theme songs are excellent. There are some low-quality pieces that are completely forgotten within a few years.
Secondly, the song must be in line with the spirit of WCG and the theme of e-sports. Otherwise, the words don't make sense. The bull's head is not in the horse's mouth, which is also a mistake.
zuihou, the theme song must be popular. When this melody is remembered, it reminds the listener of e-sports and WCG.
Although Choi Jung-won is rumored to be a god in the Korean song industry. But we don't know how much of it is exaggerated. In case he can't come up with a good enough work, isn't it a loss for WCG?
Zheng Xianhao thinks that it is better to be safe. "Executive Cui, if the song is really good. It can also be used as a representative song of WCG. ”
Compared with his cautiousness, Cui Zhengyuan is much more confident.
Beyondthegame can be said to be tailor-made for WCG, and it's classic enough. Starting with the San Francisco WCG in 2004. It has been widely used as the theme song of this event.
"Then give me a while, and after I make a demo, we'll talk about the specific terms of cooperation." Anyway, the song is there, and Cui Zhengyuan doesn't mind being generous.
Seeing that Choi Jung-won was so confident, Jung Hyun-ho was a little in a trance.
In general business negotiations, it is all about being careful and careful. All the details before and after have been thoroughly studied before they can be put into practice.
It is really rare to make a promise so easily like the one in front of you.
Either stupidly bold and don't care at all. Either you have enough confidence and confidence that you can achieve what you want.
Saying that Choi Jung-won is stupid and bold, Jung Hyun-ho will not believe it anyway. A.P Company has grown from scratch and now is firmly in the top spot in the Korean entertainment industry, and Managing Director Choi's management has made great contributions.
Such a person has gone deep into his bones in the calculation of gains and losses. What is easy to allow people will not happen to him in any case.
Then it can only be the latter case, Choi Jung-won has unparalleled self-confidence, and the work he comes up with can make ICM willingly put the name of the theme song on it.
Thinking about it like this, Zheng Hyun-ho's interest increased greatly, and he couldn't help but ask: "Cui Zhengyuan, I don't know how long it will take me to get the DEMO?" ”
Cui Zhengyuan pondered it carefully, and he was very familiar with the tune of "Beyondthegame".
Although it is not in the song for which he has registered the copyright, the original author did not create it at this time. Then just go back, sit in the studio, and for a maximum of an hour, this classic esports song will be fresh in no time.
"How's tomorrow? I'll ask my agent to send the demo over, and we'll discuss the details when the time comes, depending on the song. Cui Zhengyuan didn't have much time, so he wanted to solve the end of this zuihou as soon as possible.
Three days later, he will fly back to the United States again. After recording the second half of "Oprah Talk Show", it was time to attend this year's Grammy Awards.
A few days ago, the American Recording Institute officially sent a notice letter to the American branch of A.P Company, and Cui Zhengyuan was nominated for the best newcomer of the year.
Unlike awards ceremonies in Asia, where newcomer awards are not taken seriously, the Grammys are one of the four most important awards.
After the notice, there was jubilation in A.P. Company.
Even if Choi Jung-won Zuihou misses out on this award. But one nomination has already broken the record of Korean singers, which is enough to go down in history. And this honor belongs to A.P, and as a member of it, everyone's face is brightened.
There is no one who is the most excited than Choi Jung-won.
That's the Grammy, the Oscars of music.
In his previous life, he was an artistic director for so many years, and he launched countless singers, but none of them touched the edge of it.
So although he is in South Korea, Choi Jung-won's mind has already leapt across the ocean and drifted to the Grammy awards scene.
"Tomorrow?" Hearing Cui Zhengyuan's words, the people around him expressed their unease. Even Comrade Zheng Xinghuai, the personal agent. The cold sweat came down.
None of them had ever done music creation, but they knew it wasn't that easy to do. I haven't seen many singers, and I can't release a single for months or even years.
Guy does this, and most importantly, needs inspiration.
And inspiration, like God's gift, is not something you can just want.
Do you want to be so genius, do you want to be so wicked?
This was a decision made by Jung Hyun-ho on an impromptu basis, and everyone believes that Choi Jung-won did not know about it in advance. Then it only takes one day to come up with a song that meets the requirements. Executive Cui's talent is really amazing.
After the initial panic, Zheng Xinghuai slowly calmed down.
Unlike Jung Hyun-ho and others, he knew that Choi Jung-won had a large number of unpublished songs registered for copyright at the Music Production Association. According to his thoughts, Cui Zhengyuan should be able to pick one out of it.
In that case. Although the work is not small, it is much less effort than creating from scratch entirely.
Since Choi Jung-won has no problems there, his mind shifts to the upcoming cooperation with ICM.
As a broker, if you grab profits. It is the most basic requirement for them.
Cui Zhengyuan's attitude also showed that he regarded this matter as a serious business cooperation. In that case, there will be no human contact. Everything will speak according to the rules of the mall.
In such a situation, with the help of Cui Zhengyuan's gimmick comparable to the seven-step poem. As long as you do it right, you may be able to make a lot of money again.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xinghuai couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
ICM is still too small, and if it were a predator like Adidas and Pepsi, it might be millions of dollars this time.
After Cui Zhengyuan finished speaking, seeing everyone's abnormal expressions, he thought that they thought it was too long. smiled slightly, and said, "If you want it now, Representative Zheng, you can go back to the company with me now." Give me an hour and I promise to give you a sample. ”
"No, no, Executive Cui doesn't have to be so anxious. It's a long time coming, and tomorrow will be fine. Jung Hyun-ho wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without a trace.
The co-author is already calm, if you force it, you can come up with a work on the spot.
"Then it's tomorrow, and this agent of mine will come over in person. Once it's decided to use my songs, then he'll be in full charge of negotiating. Cui Zhengyuan pushed Zheng Xinghuai out.
Jung Sung-huai walked out from behind Choi Jung-won and stretched out his hand to Jung Hyun-ho. "Representative Zheng, I am Zheng Xinghuai, Cui Zhengyuan's personal agent. I hope that tomorrow we can reach a tacit understanding and have a happy cooperation. ”
Zheng Xianhao looked at it, and saw this agent who was not visible before, but his eyes were bright and bright at this time, with a wise light that understood everything.
As soon as you look at it, you know that it is a difficult lord to deal with.
It is estimated that tomorrow's cooperation negotiation will not be so smooth. (To be continued......)
