Chapter 67: As long as you can take it
"Zhou Yi in the Mainland, Wang Lihong in Baodao, Xie Tingfeng in Xiangjiang: The Three Creative Talents, Who Do You Like More?" 》
"The Emperor is angry, Xie Tingfeng may usher in the strongest opponent! 》
"The love scene is suspected to have changed, and there is a crack in the relationship between Xie Tingfeng and Wang Fei! 》
"Zhou Yi, the first brother in the mainland, arrived in Xiangjiang, and the golden lock picked up the airport?! 》
"Zhou Yi's rumored girlfriend has reborn, and Jin Suo bravely enters the gossip array?! 》
《……》
On the first day after coming to Xiangjiang, Zhou Yi first learned the exaggerated paparazzi news in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.
Compared with this group of people, all the paparazzi on the mainland treasure island have to stand aside.
Especially the copy of "Golden Lock Bravely Enters the Bagua Array", Zhou Yina called an old man's subway mobile phone.
"What kind of magical brain circuit is this? Still brave the gossip array? Am I some kind of villain? ”
casually threw aside the newspapers and periodicals bought by the agent Qian Jiang, Zhou Yi, who was wearing a white nightgown, yawned, took the coffee he handed over, and walked to the living room of the hotel suite step by step.
"This is the paparazzi of Xiangjiang, just get used to it."
Qian Jiang, who sent the breakfast he bought to the room of Zhou Yi Hotel, laughed, and said indifferently: "This group of people is a dog skin plaster attached to the star, and your identity as a top student of Peking University is not good for them."
"If you deliberately deal with them, it will make them more excited.
"Besides, on the side of Xiangjiang, you are really a person similar to a villain, don't forget who is the hottest young man in Xiangjiang at the moment."
Zhou Yi, who had taken breakfast, sat on the sofa, and when he heard the words, his eyes suddenly fell on another weekly magazine that said that Xie Tingfeng was suspected of having a relationship with Wang Fei: "Isn't it, such a small belly chicken intestines?" ”
The press release that belittled Xie Tingfeng's height was not sent by him, and he never did such a thing.
Even if Wang Lihong didn't say anything, he could guess that the Sony concert behind it was very suspicious.
"You are the first young singer in the mainland who can suppress Xie Tingfeng in all aspects, of course they are willing to exaggerate the confrontation between you, not to mention that you are still of the same age.
"Moreover, you are the only young singer in the Chinese music industry who can sell the rights to cover songs to Koreans."
Qian Jiangle's eyes were almost slit, and he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha who had made a fortune.
Although it was sold for the first time, the money given at one time was not too much, but Zhou Yi had a composition share.
Koreans must have to refill the lyrics when they buy it back, and he can't get the lyrics, but the composition is still there.
This is also a symbol of reputation, especially in the Hong Kong circle, where cover singing is popular.
Warner's current first sister, Sammi Cheng, is a cover professional, and she also specially caught a sheep of Korean singer Lee Jung-hyun to die.
In Zhou Jianhui's words, this is the first time he has earned a share of Koreans. SM Company also wanted to buy it out at a low price, but it was directly rejected by Zhou Jianhui himself. ”
Qian Jiang smiled and informed Zhou Yi of the good news: "Especially after you won five trophies in one go in the mainland, Zhou Jianhui is even more confident."
"Either it's the same as when a company buys a Korean song, and you, as the songwriter, have a composition share, or you have to pay a high buyout fee."
In the face of Warner, an old fritter who often buys cover rights for his first sister Sammi Cheng to go to the Korean music industry, SM has no place to play tricks.
wanted to save the country and find Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi went to Xiangjiang to participate in the next award ceremony after winning the award in the mainland, and the two sides couldn't even see each other.
"So, the South Korean side agreed?"
Zhou Yi, who was chewing pork rice noodles, dipped some soy sauce and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Hearing this, Qian Jiang was even more proud: "They agreed, but now the market position has changed." With the popularity of your album in Southeast Asia, Zhou Jianhui contacted two other Korean companies that also wanted to buy the rights to cover your songs, and even an RB company.
"These companies understand how popular the hip hop genre is at the moment, and they want to buy your songs that have been market-tested and award-gilded.
"Especially after you were selected as one of the top ten Chinese golden songs in Xiangjiang.
"After all, the Xiangjiang music scene still has a certain influence in Japan and South Korea, and there are still remnants of the remnants of the four heavenly kings of the past.
"Didn't Zhou Jianhui plan to make your reputation for your debut as Aaron Kwok before? However, because you became popular too quickly and unreasonably in China, Aaron Kwok Jr.'s press release was all put into Japan and South Korea.
"With Aaron Kwok's fame, although the language is not understood, you have a face and height, the song melody in the MV is good, and the dance is also very rhythmic, which has indeed opened a market gap in Japan and South Korea.
"SM has no choice but to join the competition now."
Speaking of this, Qian Jiang Yele's appetite was great, and he ate three golden sand buns: "That's why I asked you to go to the award before."
"It doesn't matter if it's pork or not, at least there is no more well-known award in the mainland than the global music charts.
"Xiangjiang is also here, the award model of the global Chinese music chart is actually copied according to the top ten Chinese golden songs.
However, due to the popularity of the Xiangjiang music scene in Asia during the period of the Four Heavenly Kings, the top ten Chinese golden song awards have also been painted with a layer of golden paint with the competition between them.
"Many fans of the four heavenly kings in Japan and South Korea compete with each other for awards, and they also compare this top ten Chinese golden songs, especially Liming.
"He's a faulty leader in Japan and South Korea, but it's a pity he's not from Warners. Aaron Kwok is still relatively more popular in RB. ”
When talking about Aaron Kwok and Dawn, Qian Jiang couldn't help but smash his mouth a few times, which was a pity.
The previous Warner was really withered enough, otherwise it would have been better to sign Dawn, who had a conflict with the record company, earlier.
"It doesn't matter, just sell it. Although it is an honor to be able to go out, the domestic market is my basic market. ”
Zhou Yi is very open to this.
It is certainly cool to be able to make money from foreigners, but the domestic fan base is the key to his popularity in the future.
In the special era of the millennium, foreign fire is really just foreign fire. Before the advent of the Internet era, there was a considerable gap between the domestic music market and the world music market.
It's easy to pull the egg when the step is too big.
Just look at Li Wen, how popular it was at the beginning. After going out for a walk, I thought I would return to the ranks of artists with a full load, but I almost lost my domestic market.
wanted to pick up his Chinese fan base again, but was dizzy by the four big and three small ones that rose later, and sales popularity fell again and again.
Even if she is the number one Chinese female singer in the world, she is still an actual out-of-fashion artist when she returns to China, because her fan base has been carved up by the rest of the domestic singers with fierce competition.
No matter how much the brokerage company blows, how many awards it has won, how good the English songs are, and how many sales, Li Wen's popularity in the domestic market will not stop falling.
In the end, there was no such person on the popularity list and sales list.
It can only be said that Li Wen and his company overestimated the popularity and coercion of foreign songs in China, and wasted time to go abroad to promote and hit the charts, and finally lost the domestic basic market that they had worked hard for many years.
Zhou Yike would not do such a stupid thing, he still has a clear distinction between priorities and priorities.
In this era, there are not so many people and so many channels to listen to foreign songs in China.
At most, most people can hum a couple of sentences along with the World Cup theme song and advertising song, and this is because the World Cup advertising song is placed on the TV sets of thousands of households in China through TV commercials.
The millennium, after all, is still an era when traditional media is king.
Qian Jiang, who had witnessed Li Wen's brilliance, couldn't help but nod, sighing at the decline in her popularity after returning to China: "Li Wen definitely can't learn, but if you can go out, it will really be good for you personally, as long as you distinguish priorities."
"For example, there is a secondary opportunity in front of you right now, do you want to fight for it?"
Putting down the breakfast in his hand, Qian Jiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he took out a folded newspaper from the pocket of his suit and spread it out in front of Zhou Yi-
"Box office word-of-mouth beats Chow Yun-fat! Jackie Chan's new work was filmed in Hong Kong, the first person to enter Hollywood! 》
Looking at the huge words "Rush Hour 2" on the newspaper board, Zhou Yi, who took a sip of coffee, raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Qian, what do you mean?" ”
"Jackie Chan's previous "Rush Hour 1" was a huge success in Hollywood, and the global box office was gratifying. This movie also helped him step into the ranks of Hollywood A-list movie stars.
In this "Rush Hour 2", Jackie Chan not only received a salary of 15 million US dollars, but also enjoyed a share of the global box office.
"Moreover, the box office share is a treatment that no other black protagonist has, so you can imagine how much Jackie Chan is valued in this movie."
Speaking of this, Qian Jiang smiled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you chatted with Jackie Chan at the Rolling Stone Celebration before, right?" Also exchanged contact details? ”
Zhou Yi put down the coffee cup noncommittally: "Do you want me to compete for this movie soundtrack?" ”
Qian Jiang nodded, and then said: "A movie, in addition to the film itself, music is also an important part. Can you go to Peking University, how is your English? I'm not referring to the paper-based English used for the exam. ”
"The level of being able to sleep with blonde babes."
Zhou Yi's answer was easy to understand, and the smile on Qian Jiang's face was even bigger: "I don't need you to get Jackie Chan, because he can't interfere with the soundtrack of the movie."
"But I need you to get on good terms with him, because there's a good chance that the studio will ask a few of the main creative staff, including him, about the soundtrack.
"And I, as your manager, is my job to help you get the qualification to sing the soundtrack from the producer. Now, answer me, do you have the confidence to seize this opportunity?
"Do you have the ability to compose English songs according to the requirements?
"It won't affect your time in China, and it won't affect your fan base, because the running publicity is Jackie Chan and they are running."
Facing Qian Jiang, who was waiting for his answer, Zhou Yi's face also showed a determined and confident smile: "Of course, as long as you can take it." ”
