Merlin Records Headquarters.

Pengcheng Capital, Dingsheng Capital, and Merlin Records, several companies holding shares with each other, got together for a meeting.

Because, Tan Zhiguan, the king of Merlin, is about to release a new album after a five-year absence.

Regarding the news of Tan Zhiguan's new album, there has been news since the first half of last year.

Xu Shangyan, Tan Zhiguan, and the senior management of Merlin Records have all mentioned Tianwang's new album in programs and activities.

The king of music is preparing a new album, which arouses the expectations of countless fans.

For more than a year, Merlin Records has been inviting songs.

Xu Shangyan is the producer of Mailin, Tan Zhiguan's new album is also in production, and most of the songs are from him.

However, in order to ensure the quality of the new album, other composers, lyricists, and singer-songwriters will still invite songs.

The aim is to improve the quality of the new album.

Even if the songs collected are not selected into Tan Zhiguan's new album in the end, they can be sung by other singers in Mailin.

In short, Merlin Records is indeed working on Tan Zhiguan's new album, and the selection has been going on for more than a year.

Pengcheng Capital, as a holding company, is actually not satisfied with the speed at which Merlin Records released albums.

However, before "Sing Loudly", Tan Zhiguan was the ceiling of today's music scene, even if Pengcheng Capital was not satisfied, it was not easy to interfere too much.

Since "Sing Loudly", Tan Zhiguan's status on the ceiling of the music world has been somewhat shaken.

Coupled with the losses of many projects of Pengcheng Capital, it gradually began to put pressure on Merlin Records, demanding that Tan Zhiguan's album be produced as soon as possible to make a sum of money to return to blood.

Pengcheng Capital invested in Merlin Records to make money, not to raise fish.

The king who can't make money, in terms of capital, has no value at all.

Therefore, even the king of heaven has to work hard to make money.

Chen Lipeng has arranged a series of operations and promotions for this project.

The original plan was to let Tan Zhiguan release a new album first, and then take advantage of the popularity of the new album to open a national tour, and then spread to Southeast Asia.

Tan Zhiguan's reputation in many countries in Southeast Asia is not low, and he is fully capable of holding concerts in several countries in Southeast Asia.

According to Chen Lipeng's assumption, as long as Tan Zhiguan's new album is a big hit, plus 100 concerts across the country, it will come down.

Hundreds of millions of dollars into the bag.

In addition, online concerts, which are now on the rise, are also very promising.

In a series of plans of Pengcheng Capital, after the end of the tour, there will be another online concert.

Merlin's annual profit will exceed one billion.

This profit is enough to make up for the previous losses of Pengcheng Capital.

If you take advantage of the popularity of the new album to participate in one or two variety shows and be a mentor, with Tan Zhiguan's worth, there will be tens of millions of income.

Pengcheng Capital has taken all of this into account, and everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

And this shareholder style is Tan Zhiguan's new album.

Regarding Tan Zhiguan's new album, Merlin Records and Pengcheng Capital have held many meetings.

Xu Shangyan is the person who single-handedly created the King of Mailin, and he cherishes his wings very much, so he hopes to make Tan Zhiguan's new album the best.

Tan Zhiguan naturally has the same position, and when it comes to his status, fame is more important than profit.

Pengcheng Capital doesn't think so.

So before the two companies, there was a difference of opinion.

Pengcheng Capital fully controls Merlin Records, which makes it difficult for Merlin Records to refuse Pengcheng Capital's request, and can only negotiate.

"Mr. Chen, there are a few songs in the new album, we are not very satisfied yet, do you want to wait a while?" Xu Shangyan made this request again.

In fact, in previous meetings, Xu Shangyan has already raised it.

Tan Zhiguan's new album has been in production, and there are already 12 songs.

However, the 12 songs selected are not completely determined, and they can still be replaced.

As long as there is a more suitable song, it can be changed at any time.

Xu Shangyan and Tan Zhiguan are not completely satisfied with the songs in the new album, and there are two or three songs that they want to replace, but they have not found a suitable one.

If you want to release this album now, you can indeed release it, but it is not the most ideal state.

Chen Lipeng said expressionlessly: "How long will you have to wait?" ”

Xu Shangyan glanced at Tan Zhiguan and replied, "At least half a year." ”

A flash of displeasure flashed in Chen Lipeng's eyes.

The reason why he asked Tan Zhiguan to release the album as soon as possible was to save Pengcheng Capital's financial statements this year.

Wait for half a year, even if the new album sells well, you will make money next year.

Therefore, Chen Lipeng categorically refused: "No, Merlin Records' revenue this year is not optimistic, this album must be released in the middle of the year, and the tour is ready."

"As long as the album is released, there will be a series of resources to keep up, including online concerts, as well as the resources of two top variety shows."

Xu Shangyan took a deep breath and continued to fight: "A few days ago, there was news on the Internet that Fang Xing was also preparing to release a new album, and if it collided, it might affect the sales of our new album. ”

Regarding the news that Fang Xing is going to release a new album, Chen Lipeng also heard about it.

After many consecutive competitions, Ark Culture has become the focus of Pengcheng Capital.

Therefore, as soon as there is any wind and grass, the news will reach Chen Lipeng's ears as soon as possible.

Chen Lipeng asked expressionlessly: "When will Fang Xing release the album, do you have accurate news?" ”

Xu Shangyan shook his head: "Not yet, I'm asking someone to inquire." ”

Chen Lipeng snorted lightly and sneered: "Two days ago, there was news that a new album was going to be released, do you think it will be released so soon?" Just like you guys, the new album has been in the works for more than a year.

"No matter how fast Fang Xing is, it will take at least a few months.

"Moreover, Merlin Records is now releasing an album, do you have to look at Songshi's face?"

In the music world, it is usually the small companies that avoid the big ones.

A large domestic company like Merlin Records announced that it would release an album to the leading singer, so other small companies should consciously avoid the schedule if they are not pressed to the ground and rubbed.

In terms of the current strength of the company, Merlin Records is still much stronger than Turquoise Records.

Therefore, from any point of view, it should not be Merlin Records to avoid Turquoise Records.

Xu Shangyan frowned and said: "I have inquired with someone from Songshi Records, and in the past few months, there have been intermittent recording movements.

"Every week or two, he has to book the Turquoise Records studio, and I suspect his new album has been in the works for months."

In fact.

Regarding Fang Xing's dynamics, there is no need for Xu Shangyan to remind him at all.

Chen Lipeng has been paying attention: "I have also asked someone about this news, and it is true to use a recording studio, but I use it two or three times a month, two or three hours at a time, and I think it is just a little time to make a new album?"

"Tell me, how long did it take you to record your new album? Just record two or three days a month? ”

Xu Shangyan's brows were furrowed, because he also felt that the number and time Fang Xing used the recording studio was too short.

Like when he made a new album for Tan Zhiguan, sometimes he soaked in the recording studio, and it was a day.

In comparison, Fang Xing's time in the recording studio is indeed a bit short.

Xu Shangyan thought for a moment and replied, "I heard before that Fang Xing has the level of One Take, and the recording is basically done once. ”

Chen Lipeng couldn't help but feel funny, and asked, "Xu Shangyan, I didn't expect that there would be a day when you were afraid of your opponent." ”

Xu Shangyan's expression froze, and he snorted: "Mr. Chen, maybe you didn't hear clearly, Fang Xing hasn't reached the strength that can make me afraid." The main reason why I want the new album to be delayed is because there are two songs in the album that I am not satisfied with. ”

Chen Lipeng is not too tough, and is also trying to find a way to help solve this problem: "In this case, I think it's better to spend money directly to buy two songs, Pengcheng Capital will increase the investment in the new album, three million songs, and buy and sing any song you like."

"Songs that have been released can also be considered, and it is normal for one or two old songs to be sung in an album, as long as they are adapted."

In the music world, some singers, because they like a song very much, will buy the song and put it on a new album.

This usually happens to original singers who are not well-known.

This is indeed a way to go.

Xu Shangyan, Tan Zhiguan, and several other high-level executives of Merlin Records discussed and decided to buy two songs with good quality, but the original singer did not sing fire.

……

After much discussion, Merlin Records set a time for the release of the album, and still maintained the tradition of releasing the album at the end of July.

Merlin Records, Pengcheng Capital, and a number of companies they have cooperated with immediately began to warm up for the new album.

The official Weibo and self-media of many companies officially released the news of the new album of Tianwang Tan Zhiguan, and attached the cover of the new album.

The cover of the new album has the name of the album written on it, "The Return of the King" on July 28.

This news was sent out, and countless Weibo big Vs forwarded it, and the whole network swiped the screen almost instantly:

[Heavenly King Tan Zhiguan, after a five-year absence from "The Return of the King". 】

[After five years of waiting and a year and a half of careful preparation, what kind of answer will the king of contemporary music hand over? 】

[Fans are blessed, the ninth album of Tan Zhiguan, the king of music, is full of sincerity. 】

Under the dynamics forwarded by these big Vs, countless netizens, fans, and fans left comments:

【it!】 It's really going to release a new album, and if you calculate carefully, I haven't released a new album for five years, and my children can play soy sauce. 】

[Finally waiting for you, still so domineering, this album title is okay. ] 】

[Thirty old fans who have started a family report to work, Tan Zhiguan's album, buy it with your eyes closed. 】

[Sure enough, there was gossip news a few days ago that Tan Zhiguan was afraid that he would collide with Fang Xing's album and would postpone it. 】

Before, when Xu Shangyan was participating in the music festival, he was blocked by reporters, and the interview questions were very tricky.

At that time, Xu Shangyan was asked very uncomfortable, and finally asked the assistant to separate the crowd before leaving.

After that interview, after the entertainment gossip reporter went back, he naturally pinched his head and tail, and made all kinds of news.

Like what:

[Merlin Records may break the tradition of releasing albums in July, just because they are afraid of fighting with Songshi Fangxing.] 】

[When Tan Zhiguan was about to release a new album, it was revealed that Fang Xing was also going to release a new album, does this mean that the competition between the two companies has reached a white-hot stage? 】

All kinds of news, overwhelming, attract the attention of the audience.

These news reports are false, but both companies do have signs of releasing albums.

It's true, it's the news that the reporter has processed.

Whether it's true or not, in short, netizens like this kind of news.

The release of the album by the king of heaven is good news for fans and fans.

But for netizens who are not fans of anyone, it is interesting to fight.

……

So, after Merlin Records announced the time for Tan Zhiguan to release the album, there were many netizens who were not afraid of big things when they watched the excitement, and began to @Fang Xing's studio official Weibo to ask about the time of the album.

[The time for the king to release a new album has been set, will your album be released yet? ] 】

[It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, or send it together.] I just love watching this. 】

[Fang Xing did not announce the time of releasing the album, so he should avoid Tan Zhiguan, right? ] After all, a head-on head-to-head will definitely affect sales. 】

[Don't send it together.] The pocket money of our student party can't stand it, I like both sides, I want to buy it, let my wallet slow down, and send it again in August, or in September. 】

All sorts of netizens, commenting on the Internet.

Some want to see the new albums of the two singers fight, but these fans are worried that the idol's album sales will be affected.

……

Merlin Records has collaborated with many music platforms.

Moreover, Tan Zhiguan, a king of the music world, wants to release a new album, which is the most important thing this year for major music platforms.

Therefore, after Merlin Records confirmed the release date of the new album, the major music platforms immediately opened pre-order activities.

Penguin Music, Music Billboard, Cloud Music and many other platforms all recommend the reservation activities of Tan Zhiguan's new album on the homepage.

As long as you click on the event page, you can see the poster, album cover, and pre-order information of Tan Zhiguan's new album "The Return of the King".

Now singers release albums, mainly online, and it is no longer a physical era.

Of course, fans who want to collect it will still buy physical albums, but they basically listen to songs on their mobile phones.

As a result, the albums are now released online.

And for the sake of the popularity of each song on the album, all the songs will not be released at once, usually one or two songs a week, leaving enough time for each song to spread.

This time, the "Return of the King" album is no exception, and all major music platforms have opened pre-orders at the same time, and you can buy any song in the album separately.

Of course, if you buy the entire album together, you can get a minimum discount of 6%.

For fans, it is naturally more cost-effective to buy the entire album.

Therefore, there is still more than a week before Tan Zhiguan's new album is released, and many netizens have already pre-ordered.

The major online platforms have just released pre-order activities, and there is not a single song yet, and the sales are very amazing.

……

On the set of the crew of Ark Culture, Fang Xing and Zhang Yigao were filming the MV.

Fang Xing's new album has been produced, and now he is shooting the MV of the new album song.

In fact, when a singer releases an album, not every song will have a MV.

Generally speaking, after a singer releases an album, the record company will look at the market reaction and then consider whether to make a MV.

In other words, only popular songs will have MVs, and songs that are not popular will generally have no MVs.

Of course, there are also some big-name singers who will shoot a MV before releasing the album and release it with the album.

Guo Keda rushed over and held up his mobile phone to tell him: "The time for Tan Zhiguan to release the album has been confirmed, July 28." What do you think? Brother, when will your album be released? Do you want to avoid it? ”
