The next day.

Liang Yusong called: "Chen Bodao introduced two Dongyin professors, who are willing to help you record the accompaniment of guzheng and pipa." However, there was no time to rehearse, so I could only record a version of the accompaniment master. Do you have time today? If you have one, just come over. ”

Fang Xing received a call and immediately rushed to Songshi Records.

When I arrived at the company, the agents Qiao Yinghong and Li Caiwei had already helped receive the two Dongyin professors.

After Fang Xing met the two professors from the Folk Music Department of the Donghai Conservatory of Music, he warmly shook hands with them, and then accompanied them to record in the recording studio.

The instruments of the two professors were brought from the school, and at first glance they were performance-level instruments.

Fang Xing and Liang Yusong were wearing headphones in the recording studio and listening to the two professors play the guzheng and pipa live.

After listening, they looked at each other and gave each other a thumbs up.

Both professors are masters of this area, so the recording process is very smooth, and it is basically a level that can be passed in one pass.

However, for the post-mixing effect, it was recorded twice.

After recording the accompaniment of the guzheng and pipa, Fang Xing and Li Caiwei personally sent the two professors back to school.

……

The following week entered the intense rehearsal phase.

As a result of the songs prepared this time, there is a B5 super treble chant and a difficult water sleeve dance.

Both of these tasks will be completed by Li Caiwei.

Moreover, dancing and singing need to be performed together, which is very difficult.

In the first two days, Li Caiwei's rehearsal results were not good.

The water sleeve dance is very physically demanding, and jumping in the middle will affect the stability of the singing.

After trying it a few times, Fang Xing proposed, "Why don't you let the dance teacher dance." ”

Li Caiwei lowered her head and was silent for a long time, and insisted: "Give me two more days, and I will definitely meet your requirements." I have indeed lost my Peking Opera skills for too many years, so I am a little rusty, give me two more days, and if it still doesn't work, let the dance teacher come. ”

Fang Xing saw something called firmness in her eyes, and promised, "Okay, I'll give you two more days." ”

From this day on, Li Caiwei asked for a training room alone, and practiced this water sleeve dance day and night.

……

When the program team was nervously preparing for the sprint night of the group.

The battle on the music charts is also becoming more and more intense.

Every time "Nocturne" advanced one place and approached "Young and Frivolous", Chaoyin Culture threw money at the list, and at the same time incited fans to crowdfund the list.

When there are strong enemies, the enthusiasm of fans to crowdfund the list is very fierce.

When "Nocturne" rushed to the third place on the hit song chart.

Fans of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen hit the list like crazy, and directly topped "Young and Frivolous" to the first place on the hot song list.

For this reason, the fans of the two families carnivaled on Weibo and short video platforms.

Everywhere is the barrage and comments of "Young and Frivolous" topping the hot song list.

It's just that before three hours have passed, "Nocturne" has advanced one place and reached the second place on the hit song list.

Moreover, the index of "Nocturne's hot song list" is still increasing rapidly.

It's getting closer and closer to "Young and Frivolous".

The fans of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen didn't have a long carnival before they were once again in danger of being caught up.

Fans are desperately begging for help to vote and hit the rankings on the Internet.

However, the amount of money smashed down is already astronomical.

Moreover, the hit song index of "Young and Frivolous" is very deformed.

The hit song index of "Nocturne" has a best-selling value and playback value of more than 1:12.

This means that listeners who have purchased Nocturne play the song an average of 12 times.

However, the best-selling value of "Young and Frivolous" is higher than the playback value.

This means that listeners who buy "Young and Frivolous" play it less than once on average.

If you add up to the 24-hour fan loop of a single song, the playback values will only be more deformed than what you see now.

……

The operation department of Chaoyin Culture.

The director of the operation department pulled Liu Rongxuan, the director of the artist department, and went to meet the big boss He Hongtu together.

"Chairman, the budget for "Young and Frivolous" is no longer enough." The director of the operations department said hard.

He Hongtu frowned and asked unhappily, "Didn't you only approve 20 million last week?" ”

The director of the operation department replied helplessly: "It's almost spent, and "Young and Frivolous" has also reached the top, according to the results, the effect of this time is okay." ”

"Isn't that good? The song has already reached the top, why do you apply for funding? He Hongtu is in charge of every day, and he has no interest in paying attention to the music charts.

The director of operations pushed Liu Rongxuan.

Liu Rongxuan had no choice but to help explain: "The index of the hot song list of "Nocturne" has increased rapidly, and if the budget is not increased, it may be surpassed by "Nocturne" the day after tomorrow." ”

After he finished speaking, he also took out his mobile phone, opened the hot song list of the music billboard, pushed it in front of He Hongtu, and let him watch it.

He Hongtu glanced at it, frowned and said unhappily: "Why is this Fang Xing again?" Can't you think of something else? After throwing so much money, can't you even hold down a song? Do some promotion, go to the show to promote our songs. ”

The director of operations replied helplessly: "Chairman, the exponential growth rate of the hot song list of this "Nocturne" is too fast, and there has been no such fierce song in the past three years.

"We have used the highest level of promotion strategy, but our songs still can't withstand these two songs.

Moreover, Fang Xing's "Wild Birds" has surpassed our "We Are Coming" and rushed to sixth.

"If you don't increase the budget, the first place on the hot song list of "Young and Frivolous" is likely to not be retained."

He Hongtu pondered for a moment and asked, "How much money do you think it will take to stabilize the first place on the hot song list?" ”

"It depends on how long the chairman wants to be stable." The director of operations did not answer directly.

"Steady until the end of the final camp of "Rising Star"." He Hongtu set a goal.

The director of operations stiffened his expression and stretched out a finger: "If it is stable for so long, at least this number." ”

"Ten million? That's fine, too! He Hongtu gritted his teeth and prepared to pay for the money.

"Not ......"

The director of operations hurriedly added: "Chairman, until the finals of "Tomorrow's Star", you have to dominate the list for four weeks, at least 100 million." ”

He Hongtu's eyes widened and he scolded: "I want to smoke you!" ”

Seeing that the big boss was angry, the director of operations hurriedly explained: "The main thing is that there are four episodes of "Tomorrow's Star", that is, four weeks.

"This is to make "Young and Frivolous" dominate the music charts for four weeks, even if it doesn't cost 100 million, it will be at least 70 or 80 million.

"Moreover, this is only the operating expenses, and after spending it, the playback and sales of the song will earn back some money.

"In addition, we have a special channel for playing the list, which can reduce the cost of hitting the list, and the loss will not exceed 30% in the end.

"There are also fan crowdfunding lists, as well as the income of "Young and Frivolous" itself, which can almost wipe out this funding in the end."

Entertainment companies spend money to hit the list, and it is impossible to be the wrongdoer.

Of course, if you have to make money, you will spend money to hit the list.

It's just that the operation department of Chaoyin Culture has already calculated.

If according to He Hongtu's goal, let "Young and Frivolous" dominate the music charts for four weeks, it will cost a lot of money.

The so-called ability to erase this fund is only the result of the preliminary calculation of the operation department.

In the end, it is difficult to say whether it is a profit or a loss.

If the response of "Young and Frivolous" is not good, and the final income is not high, it is likely to cause the project to lose money, and a loss will be tens of millions.

He Hongtu opened a company to make money, not to burn money.

Throwing money to hold a top stream, if you can't use it to make money, what are you doing with it?

He Hongtu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any other plan?" The company doesn't throw money at you to play at a loss. ”

The director of operations replied: "Then you can only make a moderate number of lists, and if the operating expenses exceed the red line, stop immediately, which is the safest way." ”

He Hongtu pondered for a moment and said: "Then cut more leeks on fans, I think Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen's fans are still very loyal." Send tasks to fans, and organize fans to make more lists.

"Even if "Young and Frivolous" is surpassed by "Nocturne", it doesn't matter, you can take this opportunity to stir up the emotions of fans."

The director of operations nodded in agreement: "Got it, I'll arrange it." ”

Wait until the Director of Operations leaves.

He Hongtu glared at Liu Rongxuan with an unhappy expression and said, "If Fang Xing had been signed at the beginning, there would have been no such thing at all. ”

Liu Rongxuan complained bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart: When I said before that I wanted to use a platinum contract to sign Fang Xing, you didn't agree.
