Chapter 180: Xiao Tianlang's Bid
Return to the meeting room of Yun Shijie.
After Xiao Tianlang knew that Du Xinghe had no intention of joining National Entertainment, he told him the second purpose of his trip.
That is, I want to buy the copyright of Du Xinghe's "You at the Same Table"!
"1 million! Full copyright buyout, at this price, Xiao Du should not refuse, right? ”
Xiao Tianlang is very confident in the number he proposed!
Although in recent years, the bubble in the record circle has been blowing bigger and bigger, and the value of singers and the buyout price of songs have been rising, but buying out a song with 1 million is still a newcomer's song, which is definitely a big deal in the industry!
At least as far as Xiao Tianlang himself knows, there has never been a song in the Chinese music scene that can sell for 1 million!
And the reason why Xiao Tianlang offered Du Xinghe such a high price with one mouth is that he is too optimistic about this song "You at the Same Table"!
He also needs such a popular song too much to break through the shackles for his key training object, Su Shenghua!
In today's music scene, Gao Yilin of the era, Peng Junyan of the arrow target, Zheng Long of BV, and Su Shenghua of Chinese entertainment are called the "Four Little Kings" in the Chinese music world!
Compared with the other three little kings, Su Shenghua's record sales of Guoyu are the worst, in the eyes of the outside world, Su Shenghua completely relied on the packaging and support of Guoyu to enter the ranks of the four little kings.
The outside world criticizes national entertainment for only focusing on appearance, not connotation, which is particularly obvious in Su Shenghua.
But in fact, Su Shenghua is a very hard-working artist, he not only has a melancholy and charming appearance, but he is also very talented in music.
Xiao Tianlang has always been very optimistic about Su Shenghua's future. I don't know weishenme, Su Shenghua's record sales just can't rush.
In the past three years, Su Shenghua has released four albums "Boys Don't Cry", "Campus Poet", "Love Season", and "Growth Season", although each album can sell more than 5 million copies, but the highest-selling one, "Love Season", has just reached 9.5 million copies, which can be seen without successfully breaking the 10 million mark.
This also made Su Shenghua the only one among the four little kings whose single record sales could not reach 10 million copies.
You must know that Gao Yilin, the most powerful of the four little kings, has sold more than 10 million of his five records! The highest one, "Seeing You Late", has reached 19 million! This achievement. will definitely break into the top 10 of this year's Chinese music record sales chart!
And the other two little kings also have high record sales. And it's still steadily climbing. Only Su Shenghua has not been able to catch fire.
Seeing that the little kings of other companies are about to be on fire for half the sky, the senior management of Guoyu will naturally be anxious and red-eyed, and they have already given Xiao Tianlang a death order. Su Shenghua's next album must sell past the threshold of 10 million copies! If he can't cross this threshold again. The company will no longer focus on cultivating him.
This order put a lot of pressure on Xiao Tianlang. Su Shenghua was held by him in one hand, just like his godson. He really didn't want to see such a new star who worked hard but always lacked a penny of luck dimmed.
So this time came. He has been preparing a new album "Graduation Season" for Su Shenghua. The style of this album focuses on the campus folk style that Su Shenghua is most familiar with, in order to set a new record sales for Su Shenghua like "Love Season" a year ago!
According to Jihua, this "Graduation Season" will come out in half a year to hit the summer record market, which is the easiest to sell. But until now, the pre-song selection for this album has not been completed!
You know, in this day and age, it takes quite a while to make a full-length album.
In the early stage, the overall style of the album is formulated, and after the songs are selected, it is necessary to carry out very time-consuming work such as arrangement, soundtrack, recording, mixing, and volume balance. Later, it took a lot of time to register copyrights, suppress CDs, and formulate and distribute promotional jihua!
Especially in this era, there is no digital sound repair, and the singer's voice is difficult to correct with software, they must record and sing over and over again, sentence by sentence, until the song is recorded perfectly, and the master tape can be recorded.
Sometimes it's not good to catch up with the singers, and you can't necessarily record a song in a month, let alone have 10 songs on a full album!
In this day and age, it's normal for aspiring producers and singers to make an album that strives for perfection and takes a year or two!
But now there is only half a year left for Su Shenghua, and the songs of the album have not been selected yet, so you can imagine how anxious Xiao Tianlang is!
In fact, Xiao Tianlang has personally heard a large number of new songs selected by the music team of Guoyu for Su Shenghua, and they are all very good, but he always feels that there is still something missing, and there is no guarantee that any of these songs will be popular. Even if any song becomes popular, it must be because of good luck, it will be very inexplicable.
In fact, in today's Chinese music scene, more than 80% of the popular songs are inexplicably popular, not because the songs themselves have the quality of the fire. This also makes the record producer and the music production team behind it always have a gambling mentality to help the singer make an album, in the hope of making one or two popular songs, so that the album can be a hit.
The production team of Guoyu especially likes to do this.
Su Shenghua's first four albums were basically made in this way, and they all had gambling elements.
It's a pity that Su Shenghua's luck is too bad, four albums, forty songs, he didn't even beat a single popular song!
As for the second title song "Sad Man" in the album "Love Season", it is still a little hot, but it is far from matching his status as the four little kings.
This made Su Shenghua himself depressed, just like the title of the song "Sad Man", seeing other competitors making great strides, but he himself was spinning in place, his mood can be imagined how aggrieved he was!
In this kind of unattainable days of excellence, Su Shenghua, who was holding back, was about to get depressed!
Xiao Tianlang knew that Su Shenghua was under tremendous pressure, so this time he must create a popular album for Su Shenghua, so as to complete the indicators given to them by the high-level.
And the necessary condition for making a popular album is that there must be a popular song in the album!
Xiao Tianlang has been looking for such a song these days, but he can't find a suitable one.
It wasn't until he heard Yiyan sing "You at the Same Table" and saw the strong resonant reaction of the audience that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the campus ballad he has been looking for has finally appeared! (To be continued......)
