Chapter 783: Black and Red Are Red
Why do many musicians like to plagiarize? This can't be helped, because every day there is new music coming out from all over the world, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 songs, or even more, and so much music, there may be only one song that can be out of the circle, and it must be popular, and it will explode, maybe 100,000 pieces of music will come out, the probability is too small, it is better to copy it directly, many so-called new songs, most of them may have the shadow of popular songs.
This kind of popular song either has a melody or catchy lyrics, which has been verified by the market, so most musicians are music charts around the world, and they basically listen to music every day, and if they think it suits them, they copy it.
Another is to pay attention to the new songs in the library every day, and copy them directly when they find good ones, and they don't even give the copyright, because after many songs are plagiarized, no one pays attention to the original author, and sometimes only copies a small paragraph.
The porter of the music circle, the moment he is not discovered, no one knows that the porter may be a thief.
Market recognition is too difficult, only top musicians can let the market take the initiative to recognize, and the rest of the unknown musicians are likely to make music that will sink into the sea.
Making music, to be precise, is related to creation, the last competition is talent, everyone has worked hard, so talent can't be obtained, so some people can only go off the rails, but there is still a group of people who don't want to work hard and steal directly.
The main reason is that music production is much simpler nowadays than before, a computer and a software start splicing by itself, and a song may have the melody of more than a dozen songs.
Zhao Mingyang knows that if he finds someone to remake the song, it may not be popular, but if he plagiarizes it, or buys the copyright to cover it, he will definitely be dug up in the later stage.
What to do?
Zhao Mingyang suddenly thought of another method, the usual method used by many singers in his previous life is to perfectly bypass the level of plagiarism and tailoring, most musicians can't do it, which requires a lot of money, and generally only music companies can make it for their artists.
The method is actually very simple, that is, to find the creative team of a song, most of them directly find the composer, and then cooperate with the other party, so that he can create a song that is basically 99% similar to his previous songs, but it is slightly different, and the name of the composer is still the original composer.
Then go to find an arrangement and lyrics to recreate a song that is basically the same as the fire song, but this is not plagiarism, nor is it a cover, this is something new, the original composer has joined in, it belongs to a new creation, it can't be sprayed, at most, the original author eats the old book.
This is to cover your ears and steal the bell, but it can't be sprayed, and the rearranged song is then sung by these three girls.
But this kind of creation fee is not low, it usually starts with hundreds of thousands of US dollars, so why did many idols only release singles later, everyone probably understands, just get a work, just eat it all over the world with one trick, the money is worth it, and a commercial performance will earn it back.
Zhao Mingyang finally went to find someone for them to customize a few songs with strong rhythm, forming a sense of contrast, a group of sisters who looked sweet and cute, and came directly to some things in the wilderness.
Zhao Mingyang's eyes looked at the three girls, how did these three girls debut?
If a song is not good, it cannot be controversial, topical and attention-grabbing.
If an idol wants to become an idol, he must have attention, topicality and controversy, the so-called black and red are also red, as long as someone continues to pay attention, there will be people who hate it but there must be people who will like it.
"You guys go out first." Zhao Mingyang looked at the three girls and prepared a few better psychologists for them, and didn't let them manage their accounts.
Ning Dongsheng knocked on the door and came in, looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked, "Mr. Zhao, you have thought about it, how did you let them debut?" β
"You first buy the copyright of these songs, and then contact the composers of these songs, see how much it costs for them to compose, and come out with two songs first, the ones with strong rhythm are suitable for singing and dancing and even throwing clothes.
Then go and help me contact this group of artists, I have written the list, you go and contact their agency, let them make a quotation, and invite them if appropriate. Zhao Mingyang handed Ning Dongsheng a document.
Ning Dongsheng opened the file and looked at it, there were a lot of singers he liked to listen to when he was young, he looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked, "Do you want a whole show of golden songs?" Yes, there are a lot of singers on this list that I used to like when I was in school. β
"Yes, let them come to the Golden Melody Festival and participate in the singing competition, what do you think?" Zhao Mingyang looked at Ning Dongsheng and asked.
"That's okay, is it just a show like I'm a real singer?" Ning Dongsheng said.
A show that came out in January 13 was a real singer and became popular, and many TV stations followed suit, in fact, this show also bought foreign copyrights, to put it bluntly, it is also a variety show.
The market is like this, not only the music is translated, but the program is also translated, but the program team said that this is called introduction and cooperation, not counting the translation, there are fewer domestic original variety shows than music, the reason is the same, mature programs, programs that have been recognized by the market, take them and use them to explode the most easily, and they will not take detours.
"No, we are asking singers to participate in the competition, and they are trained by mentors to make their debut, which belongs to the original program, which is to help this group of artists make their debut." Zhao Mingyang said.
Ning Dongsheng was confused, what mentor are you looking for, can you become a mentor for the artists on this list?
Some of these artists have debuted for 20 years, and they used to be powerful figures in the music world, they are all smash hit singers, and it is actually unfair to call this group of singers to compete, because they all have their own music styles, no one is good or worse, it's just a difference in singing, and now these competition programs are whoever has a good treble is powerful, so it's better to let someone who learns bel canto come and sing.
Ning Dongsheng is also a little looking forward to it, if he is a mentor for this group of people, the Chinese music scene will also be Brother Dayou, Zong Shengge, and Brother Cui This group of people will come out as mentors, and it is estimated that no one will spray, because they are not only singers but also music producers.
"Mr. Zhao, I saw this list of mentors, there is no one on it, have you contacted it?" Ning Dongsheng asked.
"No need to contact, isn't this ready-made, didn't you see it just now, just left my room." Zhao Mingyang said.
Ning Dongsheng's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You mean to let those three girls be mentors to this group of people?" This~ThisΒ·~ This will be scolded to death, they are almost the same as students, let them evaluate this group of singers who have their own works for decades, this must be scolded to death, this will make those three girls the target of verbal criticism, which is not conducive to their acting career. β
"That's good, if no one pays attention, no one scolds, that's our failure, I ask you, can you find top musicians to sing their best works? You can't find it, it's useless for you to give money to this group of people, because their works are also limited, so there are no hits coming out now.
Secondly, these three girls have good acting skills? Not to mention being able to sing and dance, if you go to the market and see, how many children are there who can dance with good voices now? Which is not the family has signed up for interest classes since childhood, and has been professionally trained.
So most of the opportunities for young people are in drama performances to get out of the circle, the three of them, I say something ugly, unless you go to the sea to shoot a film can quickly get out of the circle, otherwise, you tell me that they are going to act in a play, what will anyone watch? The company costs money to train artists.
The group of people I invited to you are all very outdated artists, but they all have well-known works, and there are usually 108,000 or even 50,000 or 60,000 people who sing at weddings.
We give money, this group of artists who come, one person for one period, insist on 200,000 packs of food and accommodation for one period, they are determined to come, and they can still be on camera, don't think they want any face, people make money not shabby, very professional.
Don't be afraid of the group of people who can spray, can that group of people affect us to make money in addition to spraying? At most, they said that they were fans of that group of old singers, and they helped the old singers blow a wave of how many cows they were back then, except for this.
If they really think that the singer they like is not popular, then they will support it with real money, the artist's money is given by the fans, the fan traffic is in disguise, support the products endorsed by the stars they like, go to the concert, and support the movie, but most of these people are verbal support, so what are you afraid of?
But we did this show, and the three girls will quickly get out of the circle, and then the songs they form into a group will find a hit song to renovate it, which is their work, they have traffic, we don't lose, they don't lose, and all income fans contribute.
We are in business, not charity, understand, and what is Wang Chenbo's preparations? β
"The preparation is almost complete, the director found the fat mantis according to what you said, but the circle said that he took how much money and how much effort, and he asked us how much."
"Give him an offer of 10 million first, let him shoot with some sincerity, and let the crew arrange for him, help me arrange an appointment with him, and the screenwriting team, let Wang Chenbo and Xiao Yu also come together." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Okay, there is one more thing I want to tell you, the previous batch of female artists in R book, you recruited that group of people, and now they may be blocked, and some activities cannot be participated in in the country."
"This is simple, you can't go out of activities in China, then go to New Malaysia, and then go to find a director and crew, and let them act in a play, a serious romantic drama, a boy strayed into a school that is all girls, a pure Japanese drama, the plot is made up casually, and the audience doesn't watch the plot, but how they put on clothes and act in a normal plot.
Taking the advertising space quotation to the brands is an advertising drama, which is also the income, signing them, you can't waste it, you must maximize the benefits during the contract period, don't think I'm crazy squeezing employees, I'm here to create greater income to support the company's operation.
Daotian Entertainment, Ning has finally calculated how many people there are now? One hundred and eighty-two people, including logistics, finance, procurement, marketing, legal, photography and post-production, art, makeup, artist assistants, agents, etc., we are different from the previous grass stage team.
On average, the company is almost 15,000 a month, which means that we add rent and other miscellaneous expenses, and the normal expenses are nearly 3 million per month, not counting the interest fees that have not returned to our investments, remember that this is Shencheng, and everything has to be rich.
Therefore, you are not sitting in the position of general manager, you are responsible for the livelihood of this group of people, and there will only be more and more people, and behind hundreds of people are hundreds of families.
Entertainers have the work of entertainers, are they hard? Who doesn't work hard, but they earn a lot, don't think about so many rules and regulations, you are constrained by morality, you arrange the affairs of the three girls, you follow up, I am in charge of Wang Chenbo's side, this show must have three girls as mentors, understand? β
"Understood, thank you Mr. Zhao for your advice, I am also reflecting these days, I am improving, I know what I have to do, and I will never let you down in the future." Ning Dongsheng said.
