Chapter 6: Reorganizing the Band Troupe
On the morning of April 17.
Ding Shaokun came to the company early, went to the office to turn on the computer, and then looked at the Kyushu Music New Song Chart, "Coronation" has been squeezed out of the top ten.
To be precise, he has been restless since just past midnight today.
[Summer Boy], which made its high-profile official debut in Shencheng last night, ushered in a good start with its first mini album.
Two songs on the album hit the top 10 of the new song chart, one fifth and one eighth; There is also a song of fourteen and one of seventeen.
Three of the four songs are in the top fifteen.
Although the gold content of the new song list is not as good as the hot song list, the results are so eye-catching, which is enough to show the quality of this album.
Ding Shaokun felt a deep pressure, picked up and put down the cigar in his hand, and paced to the large floor-to-ceiling window.
Taste carefully, Jing Xiangyun is looking at him holding the trump card of the prince, holding his breath and waiting for him to make a big move today.
The current situation is not optimistic, Ding Shaokun thought.
Now, Lu Yuntian, chairman of Tianyou Entertainment, has passed the age of ear shun and does not bother to ask about specific affairs.
Ding Shaokun and Jing Xiangyun are both vice presidents of Tianyou Group, one south and one north, each in charge of a branch.
Last year, Mr. Lu intended to choose a successor, and the competition between Ding Shaokun and Jing Xiangyun for many years gradually became white-hot.
Especially this year's results, which will directly affect who can take charge of Tianyou Entertainment in the future.
Ding Shaokun suddenly smiled, yes, he has been fighting with Jing Xiangyun for so many years, how can he forget that woman has never been a vegetarian.
This time, he got the support of Cheng Dong and asked him to personally send Cheng Shao to make his debut, why did he underestimate the enemy.
I planned it perfectly, spent a lot of money to customize a single for Cheng Shao, successfully hit the charts and then launched the first album while it was hot, everything was under control.
Who knew that Jing Xiangyun suddenly killed a horse pistol, which caught him off guard.
I wanted to rely on a series of operations after G.Island's public performance to fight over the scene, but the result was still for Jing Xiangyun to suppress and fight.
I have to admit that in the battle between the north and the south over the years, the southern branch as a whole has won a lot, and the gap lies in the idol group section.
Jing Xiangyun is better at exploring market demand, and the boy groups launched in recent years are very popular with fans.
The times are changing rapidly, and Ding Shaokun feels that he can't understand Xiao Young anymore.
Tianyou pushes the group, and has formed a standardized process, and every spring newcomer debuts, publicizes and builds momentum, releases albums, and goes on singing shows and variety shows.
summer music festivals, autumn tours, fan meet-and-greets; At the end of the year, he participated in various awards, and the cumulative sales of the album were judged by the data.
After a set of processes, the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, and one step is slow.
Calculating the company's KPI, in the face of Jing Xiangyun's menacing, the key to winning or losing lies in the results of the new combination on both sides this year.
And this competition will also decide who is more capable of leading Tianyou Entertainment to continue to expand its territory.
The current situation is that with G.Island's current strength, the chips are far from enough, and it is too late to change Cheng Shao to a better song.
If you want to win, you have to think of another trick.
In the morning, as soon as Ding Shaokun arrived at the company, he held an emergency meeting. At nine o'clock, deputy Tian Hao, director of the artist management department Lin Sen, and music director Peng Yuan of the record department, all three of them arrived.
Peng Yuan proposed: "Mr. Ding, G.Island's album, should you speed up the progress and launch it in advance?"
I don't have a big problem here, but there is a song, Cheng Shao's requirements are relatively high, and he is not satisfied with it after recording it a few times. ”
Last night, he swiped the ranking of the new song list, and Peng Yuan finished listening to the new album of [Summer Boy].
I don't know what path Mr. Jing has through, but he actually invited the well-known music producer in Xiangjiang who has been in retreat for several years, which is not just about having money.
"It's useless to go online in advance, and you still can't get Jing Xiangyun." Ding Shaokun strengthened his tone, "Even if you go to "New Power of Music" to sing, I'm afraid you won't be able to win the championship." ”
"Music New Force" is a music program produced and broadcast by Beijing Xiangyuntai, once a month, with the highest authority among the five major singing programs, and is one of the vanes of the domestic pop music scene.
Singers will strive to participate in the album or single promotion period, and its award is especially important for newcomers, which is a very important support and affirmation.
"I didn't expect Mr. Jing to be so ruthless, it seems that Cheng Shao's group alone can't be defeated." Tian Hao sighed.
"Lin Sen, I read the document you sent me to my email last night." Ding Shaokun pondered about the debut of the Eno Band Troupe, "You start talking, let's discuss it." ”
All the way from the assistant artist to the director of the brokerage department, Lin Sen manages more than 100 artists of all sizes in the northern branch of Tianyou, and has also brought out first-line stars with rich experience.
After the performance, Lin Sen had an idea of Eno's next step.
He opened the PPT, projected it onto the big screen in the conference room, and explained: "My suggestion is to form another band and join G.Island to PK with Mr. Jing."
In fact, the band group is not a new thing, and in the past two years, kimchi and cherry blossoms have been successful in the circle.
Taking advantage of Eno's popularity, the topic of "Drifting to the North" is still there, and it is perfect to play an original concept and pick a few people to debut with him as a band. ”
"Can you do it, push two regiments at the same time?" Tian Hao was skeptical.
Lin Sen continued: "Mr. Jing's several men's groups, including the [Summer Boy] that is now being promoted, are basically princely routes, affinity-type vitality idols, and fans are clearly positioned.
[G.ISLAND] sang and danced rap, from the image to the style, the overall packaging design was cold and sexy, and it was also to distinguish the market from Mr. Jing's side at that time.
Let Eno debut as a band group, and he won't collide with anyone. ”
"In addition to him and Yao Xiao, I think the other three are re-selected, they are about the same age, the time is so tight, is it too late to run in?" Peng Yuan asked.
"Those three have also played musical instruments, they have a foundation, and it is not difficult to practice together." Lin Sen didn't care, "Besides, the band is just a gimmick, and it's not really for them to rely on musical instruments to eat, so it's not in the way." ”
Peng Yuan frowned: "It's okay to play in a band, focus on originality, does Jiang Ye still have songs?" If it's of the same quality as "Drifting North", that's okay. ”
"This song is quite unexpected, Eno has been in the company for six years, and I have never heard of him writing it." Lin Sen said with a slight puzzlement.
Tian Hao chuckled and teased: "Maybe I bought it too." It's just a rap song, and if you're lucky enough to bump into a newcomer rapper to sell a song, it won't cost a few bucks. ”
"'Drifting North' is good, but if they form a band, it's better not to use rap songs anymore.
Even if Eno is able to compose, it is unlikely that he will want to come up with a few high-quality works suitable for the band in the short term.
It is better to pick a few songs directly in the company's music library, with a unified style and guaranteed quality. Peng Yuan said firmly.
"Yes, that's how it should be, go back and choose a good song and sign it directly as their original, and the contract and money are in place, anyway, it's nothing new." Lin Sen agreed.
Tian Hao immediately agreed: "Yes, in this way, we can avoid colliding with Cheng Shao and them, the routes of the two regiments are different."
As for Mr. Jing's side, the opponent is only [Summer Boy], let's go to the two if we can't do it in a group, don't put the eggs in the same basket, and prepare with multiple hands.
Maybe you can have some surprises like the last performance. ”
"Since everyone thinks it's feasible, let's try it, Lin Sen, you can do it, and follow the band.
Peng Yuan set the song, and waited for everyone to arrange for them to practice for two days and record it as soon as possible. Ding Shaokun thought about it, and simply let it go and bet on all the cards he could play.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Ye and Yao Xiao, who also received a phone call, came to Lin Sen's office together.
There are three other people on the large leather sofa in the hospitality area, all of whom know each other, but that's all.
And so—
vocals, Eno; bassist, Yao Xiao; drummer, Gu Chuan; guitar, Gao Xin; Keyboardist, Wang Zihao.
The reorganized band group [Dream 5] was formed.
Lin Sen Enwei and Shi talked for a long time, from the formation of the group to the follow-up activities, the pie was also drawn, hoping that they would compete and work hard to prepare for the "New Power of Music" in May.
Eno listened to Lin Sen's endless talk, and was quite surprised that the company let them debut as a band.
Until talking about playing songs, Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, can you be original......
Before he finished speaking, Lin Sen immediately interrupted him: "Don't get me wrong, the band is just a presentation method, just a marketing package, not for you to really play punk."
Rock and roll has long since declined, and it is still dominated by pop music. The company will pick out songs for you, and you can rehearse them together, and the recording will be very fast. ”
"I still have some songs of my own, and that's fine." Eno still did not give up and continued to fight for the road.
Lin Sen's eyes widened and he coughed dryly: "Are you sure?" The kind of "Drifting North" is not suitable. ”
"Don't worry, I'll be making a demo in the next two days. When the time comes, compare the works selected by Director Peng and decide which leader to use. Eno's eyes were burning and he was very sincere.
Lin Sen hesitated for a moment.
Nodding yes.
