Chapter 815 Take Your Time (12)

Rich Ruth did not intend to poach Yang Qian.

Or should I put it this way, before he walked out of the box just now, Rich Ruth had moved to help his old club sign Yang Qian, or he wanted to open a brokerage company in the United States to sign Yang Qian, but Shi Mo’s introduction to Yang Qian , Let him dispel this idea.

A person who has a lot of money and can start his own company will most likely not be willing to listen to others, unless he really has a strong idea of ​​becoming an American superstar and needs a big company to help him.

Just now Yang Qian also made it clear that his career center of gravity is in China, so Rich Ruth tactfully did not bring up this topic again.

"In the era of streaming media, it doesn't mean that you must go to the United States or Europe to develop your music career. At present, we also hope to break the barrier of physical distance and establish a new entertainment model through live broadcasting and online interaction. .”

Rich Ruth talks about his vision.

Yang Qian felt a little familiar, isn't this the metaverse that his cousin Yang Yan told him about?

It's not that the Yuan Universe can't do it, but Yang Yan made it very clear that the current model is not perfect enough, whether it's hardware or software, they are all in the stage of advance deployment by major companies.

Therefore, although they have done a lot of tests, whether it is Yang Qian's live broadcast room or Yang Qian's concert, there are technicians from Xiaoai Company collecting data in the background, but the progress of the overall project is not fast enough. Roughly estimated, It would be great to have a product out within five years!
But things in the future have to be done, especially for big companies, you have to focus on the future, not the current market trend.

Of course, although Rich Ruth's idea coincided with Yang Yan's, it was not a new idea.

There were precedents for singers and bands to broadcast live online concerts as early as two or three years ago, but as Yang Yan believed, the existing equipment could not give the audience a good experience.

Going to a concert alone at home with a mobile phone is far from going to the scene!
At that time, it was only because of the epidemic that there was no way to do it. Now the frequency of online concerts has decreased a lot, and top singers have hardly continued to hold online concerts. After all, there is no ticket money for online concerts. Even if there are, That's just music online platforms burning money to promote.

But Xiaoai Company will continue to do it because they have development needs and prospects. Rich Ruth is not a hardware manufacturer, so why should he do such a business?
In his narration, Yang Qian heard another point of view, an analysis from a different angle!
"Except for real offline activities such as concerts and book signings, if fans want to know their favorite singers, they still have to go through his works or TV shows, which is hard for you to see in real life. A real big star, right? Even if you watch movies and get to know Shi Mo, it’s the same, there is still a physical distance between them.”

"The age of streaming media can't change this problem. There is still a real physical distance between singers and fans. It is unrealistic for singers to go to everyone's city and meet them. So, whether you are In China or in the United States, the physical distance between you and your fans still exists, there is no difference."

"But what is the difference between the streaming media era and the past? It is able to break the spiritual distance between stars and fans, or the distance in consciousness. Just like Twitter and Facebook in the early years, stars opened personal accounts , the fans saw it and paid attention to it, thinking that the celebrity has become a neighbor who lives nearby, and they can see him say hi every morning!"

"In the age of streaming media, it can do more things than Twitter and Facebook. You can broadcast live, whether it is singing, talking about your creative thoughts, talking about life stories, or even reading books to fans. Further communicate with fans; you can also promote and sell your own music works to audiences through streaming media, and even hold interesting promotional parties in the form of live broadcast.”

"Doesn't this replace the role of TV and sales channels before? And the effect is better, fans will get more feedback, and if they go to offline concerts in the future, they will be more willing to come and watch them. In general , that is, as long as the operation is good and the performance is stronger, streaming media can also cultivate top music superstars!"

Obviously, the cultivation that Rich Ruth mentioned is not the same as cultivating ordinary Internet celebrities. He still builds it under the mature framework of the original music company and brokerage company, but the original TV, offline sales, etc. Outdated channels are replaced by streaming operations.

This is not an innovation. The pioneer of streaming media in the film and television industry has long since broken the shackles of the original TV and theaters and embarked on a new path!
And, by the looks of it, they're doing a pretty good job!
Of course, Rich Ruth's idea also has a basis for realization. His connections in the European and American entertainment circles are enough for him to cultivate a singer in the streaming media era.

Moreover, he was a former gold medal manager. In the business of brokering, especially in the music market in the United States and Europe, he is still confident that he can drive Yang Qian.

"AAC's gold medal agent, you actually rejected it? Do you know what AAC's gold medal agent means? Tom, Uncle Tang, Cage, Pete, Nicole, there is an AAC gold medal agent standing behind these actors and actresses People, as well as Sister Mai, Sister Bi, and JTBB in the music industry, they are also artists signed by AAC."

It was late at night, and on the car back to the hotel, after figuring out who Rich Ruth was, Wu Lan couldn't help but stare.

Although Wu Lan didn't know much about foreign entertainment circles, when she was studying with top domestic agent Shi Shimei, Shi Shimei told her a lot about the operation mode of top foreign brokerage companies.

Among them, AAC has been emphatically described by Shi Shimei. This company has already dominated North America more than ten years ago!

"AAC is AAC, I am me, we have our own brokerage company, there is no need to sign a contract with a foreign broker."

Yang Qian was very calm.

Wu Lan was a little moved when she heard it, but she was also a little worried that Yang Qian's job would be robbed after he signed another agent.But she is a qualified manager, and she has to think about Yang Qian in everything, hoping that he can develop better!
"Although that's what I said, if you sign with AAC, or sign Rich, a gold medal agent, it will have long-term benefits for your future international business development."

Wu Lan persuaded.

"Let's talk about this later, don't I have no time these few years? Wani is going to give birth soon, how can I think about other things?"

Yang Qian smiled and waved his hands. He really didn't want to think too far ahead. He just wanted to return to the magic to see his wife quickly, so he politely rejected Rich Ruth who said so much.

Wu Lan wanted to say something else, but seeing Yang Qian, who had been singing all night and busy for several days, close his eyes tiredly, she took the words back.

It is not easy for Yang Qian, supporting such a large company by himself.

Dai Yuni is pregnant and has a baby, and may not come back for a long time.

And Ouyang Xiaoqing and Zhang Shanshan are still too immature. They may be able to perform a song or two, but it is not enough to stand alone or support the company's appearance.

Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible for Yang Qian to spare his energy to take care of overseas markets.

Just take your time, don't rush.
