224 Christmas Eve

Four days after the song was released, Jiang Yining's new song has not yet become popular on the other side of the ocean, but it has already exploded out of the circle in China.

Aside from the fact that the company and the studio are behind the scenes, the reason why it can achieve such amazing popularity is mainly because of the quality of the song itself and Jiang Yining's own strength and courage.

Before Jiang Yining, there were not no singers who tried to publish overseas, but most of them were bastards, going out to gild gold, and coming back to fool fans and passers-by, in the eyes of those who know how to do it, it is to be smiling and generous, and to lose their face abroad.

Like this time, it is the first time that the entire Chinese music scene, from producers to singers to music critics, has unified their support and praise.

Because everyone in this circle understands that Jiang Yining is playing really!

She not only followed the rules of the European and American music scene, but also took the team to the United States to promote it in person.

The video of her media interview and roadshow in the United States has long been spread on the Internet, and at least half of the ten hot searches on Weibo in the past few days are Jiang Yining, some are bought by Shen Yize, and more are real hot searches on top of fans and passers-by.

On the new song list of All Entertainment Music, "Something Just Like This" and its Chinese version "Qualification" took the top two places with cumulative sales of 280W and 210W respectively, breaking the record of "Jiangnan" in only four days, setting the best result of the new song chart during the chart.

The music areas of video websites such as Youshi, Tengfei, Qiyi.com, and Bilibili were all slaughtered, and seven or eight of the ten videos were related to Jiang Yining's trip to the United States.

As the song's overseas sales and influence are increasing day by day, musicians, Weibo celebrities and up owners in the circle have jumped out to predict that "Something Just Like This" is very likely to be on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart next week.

Then there was another wave of popular science, what is a billboard, what is the difference between this list and those water lists of iTunes, and what can it mean to be on this list...... In a word, Jiang Yining is awesome!

After a few days of fermentation, Jiang Yining seems to have become the light of the Chinese, although he has not yet made substantial achievements, but in the copywriting of the irresponsible marketing account, he has swept the European and American music scene since he opened his mouth, as if he can kick Boss Qiao by stomping his feet, and he can punch Ai Mei by raising his hand.

Soon, as the songwriter of this song, Zhuang Yi was also pushed to the hot search by these marketing accounts and self-media.

Shen Yize has read a few articles, and without exception has blown him to the sky, what is "the greatest musical wizard in the history of the Chinese music scene", what is "the most outstanding musician of this century"...... I don't know if it's brainless to follow the trend, or if it's intentionally killing.

No matter what the motive is, blow it, he has confidence, so he is not afraid of killing, on the contrary, the higher the praise, the better, now he needs to be known.

……

Yu Sheng finally understood what he meant by "practical action".

Tengfei gave her just a verbal promise, and it is really difficult to say to what extent he can really help her, but Zhuang Yi, he has already proved in action that he is serious about expanding overseas markets!

Not only is he serious, but he does have the ability to do it.

She has heard this song "Something Just Like This" more than ten times, and his melody is still as good as ever, and with Jiang Yining's skillful EDM arrangement, it can be said to complement each other.

This song will be on fire!

It will be popular not only in China, but also in the European and American markets!

This is Yu Sheng's preliminary judgment after listening to the song.

As it turned out, she was not wrong in her judgment. In the past few days, Jiang Yining's new songs have been rising in various data in Europe and the United States, and there are not many big names who will sing in December, which makes this song even more brilliant, even if the singer is an unheard of newcomer, he can't stand the high quality of the song itself, and it's only a matter of time before it sells well.

"Sister Sheng," Assistant Qiuqiu reminded, "it's time to go." ”

"Okay."

Zhuang Yi came to Yanbei on a business trip in the past few days, so he made an appointment to sign a contract in the morning.

Willing to gamble and lose, Yu Sheng has never been a reliant person, not to mention, Zhuang Yi has proved his ability with practical actions.

If she goes to another company, she may be able to get better resources, but compared to these, she hopes to make progress in music.

In the Chinese music scene, the only one who can bring her this kind of progress is probably Zhuang Yi.

She rarely admits that she is inferior, especially when it comes to music.

However, this time, although very reluctant, she had to admit that Zhuang Yi's creative ability was indeed above her.

However, this is only temporary, sooner or later, I will surpass you!

She got up and walked towards the nanny car, accompanied by her assistant and agent, thinking to herself.

……

Tengfei Music (Yanbei) Co., Ltd.

"Fang Youwei! Didn't I tell you that even if the other party's asking price is higher than before, as long as it is not outrageous, you will definitely give me the copyright authorization?! ”

At the group meeting, Liang Lei mercilessly criticized Fang Youwei, as vice president, he has been responsible for the copyright management of the group, and the contact with Golden Pin has lasted for several months, but the result has never been to get the copyright authorization.

There are less than two weeks left, and the revised Feifei Music will be launched on all channels, and if they can't get the authorization of Golden Dot, their music platform will miss out on the three most popular people in today's Chinese music scene.

doesn't even have songs from Zhuang Yi, Jiang Yining and Yu Sheng, what else do they use to compete with Quanyu?

Fang Youwei tried to justify: "The price that Jindian sold us was twice as high as the price that it sold to Quanyu, which is clearly knocking our bamboo leversβ€”β€”"

Liang Lei interrupted: "So what? What now? Do you regret it? ”

Fang Youwei stopped talking.

He just wanted to figure it out slowly, but he never expected that Jiang Yining would go overseas to sing at this time, the key is that he really made some achievements!

In recent days, the domestic entertainment industry has been overwhelmed with drafts by Jiang Yining and Zhuang Yi, which not only completely suppressed the new publicity offensive of Feifei Music, but also raised the value of Jiang and Zhuang by at least dozens of times!

Now if you want to buy the copyright from the Golden Dot, I'm afraid it's more than twice as simple.

Seeing that Fang Youwei didn't speak, Liang Lei snorted coldly, looked around and said, "I said hello to you, Zhuang Yi is a person, whether it is ability or ambition, he should not be underestimated." With the singer lineup that Jindian now has, don't talk about us, even if it is all-entertainment music, we have to respect him for three points. ”

"The longer this matter drags on, the worse it will be for us, and we should take control of it as soon as possible before he has fully risen. In this negotiation, we will work with Mr. Zhang of the investment fund to purchase copyright licensing on the one hand, and more importantly, to facilitate investment! ”

……

After signing the contract with Yu Sheng, having a light meal, he immediately went to the headquarters of Tengfei Technology (Yanbei) Co., Ltd.

The day before yesterday, I had to get up early in the morning and go to the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center to talk about cooperation.

Today is Friday, and it is also Christmas Eve, he has stayed in Yanbei for three days, and he will rush back to Jiangnan tonight.

The last negotiation was with the developer of Tengfei Video, that is, Tengfei Technology, which is registered in Yanbei.

The negotiation is not only about the cooperation between the two parties in the new media business, but also about the licensing and financing of music rights.

Tengfei wanted to invest Shen Yize was not surprised, but what was unexpected was that the other party's actions were so fast.

If the company wants to expand and transform, it does need external investment, but he is not in a hurry to do so, and the company's working capital has not yet been shortened to this point.

Of course, if Tengfei's investment plan is attractive enough, he is not unable to consider it, but Tengfei's reputation in the domestic investment circle has always been not very good, and he did not have any expectations from the beginning.

Shen Yize was in a hurry to go back to accompany An An for Christmas Eve, and he didn't have time to go around in circles with the CEOs who took off, so he gave his bottom line as soon as he got on the table: if you want to invest, you can, but you must agree to the three nos, that is, do not interfere in business decisions, do not seize the project leadership, and do not seek issuance and operation.

In other words, you don't interfere in anything other than participating in profit sharing.

According to Zhang Xueming, CEO of the investment fund, he hopes to integrate the advantages of both parties to jointly build a "neo-cultural and creative" content and cultural ecology, which means that the hand of take-off must not only be inserted, but also your hand must be slowly withdrawn, and finally your company will become a part of the "neo-cultural and creative" strategy.

It is impossible for Shen Yize to allow others to meddle in his company's affairs, whether the other party is Tengfei or Quanyu.

If the two sides cannot reach a consensus on this basis, there is naturally nothing to talk about, and no matter how much profit is made, it will not work.

Seeing that the negotiation was deadlocked, Liang Lei asked quietly: "As far as I know, your company is planning to develop towards film and television production, right?" ”

Shen Yize admitted calmly: "That's right. ”

It's not a secret, the other party has the heart to investigate, and you will know it as soon as you check it.

Liang Lei knows reason: "I don't know how much Mr. Shen knows about film and television production, before I became the CEO of Tengfei Music, I was the director of Tengfei Pictures, and the water in this may be far deeper than you think, capital and production team are on the one hand, you also have to have a reliable partner - I heard that you have some holidays with Yida Group?" ”

Shen Yize raised his eyebrows, this Liang Lei is quite clear.

"It's not about the festival, it's just that I have some misunderstanding with Mr. Wang of Basho Entertainment."

Liang Lei didn't dwell too much on the details, and said with a smile: "If you are dedicated to running the copyright business, you can naturally ignore these, but if you want to enter the film and television industry and want to produce cinema movies, Yida Films, which owns more than 20% of the screens in China, is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed." ”

"Wang Dingyu's kid, but he is famous for holding grudges, if my expectations are right, your company has never received a movie script project since its establishment, right?"

Shen Yize's heart froze, and he looked at Liang Lei with more vigilance in his eyes.

It's just a small thing, but it's often the little things and details that make it clear what the problem is.

During this time, the whole company was in a state of euphoria about the prospects, and no one except him was aware of the problem.

But this person not only has a clear understanding of his company, but also can accurately grasp his sore spots, which is really not simple.

Seeing that Shen Yize was silent, Liang Lei knew that he was on the point, and pursued after him: "I have inquired, Wang Sixing, the chairman of Yida Group, did not take action in person, but Wang Dingyu poured bitter water on the CEOs of major theaters, and these people hinted at the film and television companies below and pulled your golden point into the blacklist." ”

"A Wang Dingyu can still stir up the wind and rain, if Wang Sixing ends up in person, with your current size, you will not be able to resist at all. Of course, if Mr. Shen is content with the small screens of TVs and computers, and does not have the ambition to enter the big screen, he does not have to care, otherwise, we are willing to be your most reliable partner. ”

Liang Lei said it tactfully, and Shen Yize understood it.

Yida Group still has a lot of energy in the film and television industry, and if it really wants to make up its mind to ban Jindian, then Shen Yize has no way at all, so he can only temporarily abandon this piece of business, concentrate on music, and save the country after becoming bigger and stronger.

But if there is Tengfei as a backer, even if Wang Dingyu has no brains, he will never dare to offend easily. In addition, it can also get huge investment and technical support from Tengfei, which will really help the company's development in the short term.

Liang Lei is right, Golden Point does need a backer, but this backer does not necessarily have to take off.

Shen Yize said calmly: "Mr. Liang, I am also happy to cooperate with you, but it is still that condition, as long as you can accept the 'three noes' principle, everything can be discussed." ”

Liang Lei was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he had spent so much speech, and the other party was stunned and didn't listen to a word.

In the end, he is a young man, young and vigorous, bent on going his own way, and does not understand the way of change. Maybe when he suffers a little, he will learn a lesson.

He exchanged glances with Zhang Xueming and said, "Let's talk about the copyright authorization of music first." ”

……

From the take-off, look at the time, close to four o'clock.

The negotiations were smoother than expected, except for the investment, the business cooperation between music copyright and new media was very smooth.

Liang Lei obviously attaches great importance to the music copyright of Golden Point, and Shen Yize's previous offer has doubled the basis, and the other party didn't have much bargaining, so he agreed.

All of the company's songs, both released and released during the agreement, are licensed for 10 years, with a total royalty of 160 million.

Given the number of existing songs in the company, this price is already very high, of course, compared with QQ Music's nearly 600 million yuan to buy out Chou's music copyright, it is a big deal.

The plane at half past eight in the evening, it was still early.

"You guys go to the airport first, and get the rental car back."

Shen Yize instructed the employees who came to Yanbei on a business trip with him.

Huang Hao asked, "What about you, Mr. Shen?" ”

"I'm going to go shopping at the International Trade Center."

Several people looked at each other, and when they came back to their senses, Shen Yize had already gotten into a taxi and left.

It's been really busy lately.

But no matter how busy he is, he won't forget An An.

The first Christmas Eve spent with An An, how could he go back empty-handed?

He's going to buy her a present.

I had already thought about what to give, and I originally planned to buy it online, but when I thought about it, it would be too lazy, so I should go to a physical store to try the effect first.

As a result, as soon as you enter the mall, you can't stop.

Since leaving the hut, he has never given An An a gift again, and after entering the mall, it seems that he has traveled back to the time when he pursued An An.

It is a real pleasure to choose a gift for the girl you like.

He went from store to store, unconsciously buying a lot of things, and if it weren't for the limited time, he could have walked until the mall closed.

It was half past ten when I arrived in Jiangnan, and I sent a message to An An: "I'm back!" Are you at home? I'll pick you up. ”

Nani: I'm out there with Sissi, you go home first, I'll be back right away.

One: Where are you? I'm going to find you!

Nani: No, we're leaving, you can go back directly, I'll look for you at your house later.

One: It's so late, I'll pick you up.

Nani: We don't know who will get home first, I'll take the subway now, and it's the puppy who will come back late.

Shen Yize looked up at the bottom of the building, the window of the house was still dark, and An An was obviously going to be a puppy.

He whistled upstairs and opened the door in a relaxed mood.

The moment he opened the door, he was directly dumbfounded.

In the living room, there was a one-man tall Christmas tree, which was full of lights, and the light blue fluorescence was particularly dazzling in the darkness.

Faintly, he smelled the fragrance of pastries.

He turned on the overhead lamp and shouted, "An An? ”

No one answered.

He stood in the foyer and looked into the room, but there was no one in the living room.

"Don't hide An An, I know you're here, I smell the fragrance, did you make me a cake?"

Still no one answered.

Odd......

"Hah!"

"Ugh!"

He paid attention to what was in front of him, but a sudden cry sounded from behind, startling him firmly.

Seeing him tremble suddenly, Yang Jiuan laughed unscrupulously: "Look at what scares you, coward!" ”

Shen Yize said angrily: "When did you come back?" ”

"I'm not leaving!"

"Waiting for me?"

"Well, it's Christmas Eve, of course I'm going to spend it with youβ€”what did you buy?"

Shen Yize pretended to be stupid: "What did I buy?" ”

"There's something in the backpack, I touched it." When he was scared just now, Yang Jiuan slapped his backpack, "Is it a gift for me?" ”

She looked at him without blinking, anticipation written on her face.

"No, I didn't buy it for you."

"I don't believe it! If you don't buy me a gift, will it still be you? ”

Shen Yize smiled, knowing that he couldn't hide this girl, so he said: "Then guess what I bought, if you guess it, I'll give it to you, and if you don't guess, I'll take it back and return it." ”

"Give me a hint."

"Hmm...... It's a daily necessities, but it's very practical anyway. ”

Yang Jiuan asked: "What exactly is it used for?" ”

"Don't you know when I say that? I can only tell you that this thing is usually used after taking a shower. ”

"Use it again after taking a shower...... It can't be a towel, right? ”

"Not ......"

Shen Yize was a little speechless, and said in his heart, I will give you such a low thing?

He went on to prompt: "This thing is hard. ”

"Is it hard?"

"Hmm...... It's much harder than a towel anyway. ”

"How big?"

"It's not too big, it's long."

"It's very hard, it's still long, and I have to use it again after taking a shower......"

Yang Jiu'an thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I know!" Bottled toner, right? ”

Shen Yize shook his head: "No, this is to use electricity." ”

"It's long and hard, and you still need electricity, and you have to use it again after taking a shower...... Yang Jiu'an's face suddenly became weird, "Should you ...... it?"

She suddenly thought of something, blushed and said loudly, "I don't want this kind of thing!" ”
