After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 598
Huage Records announced that within the next three months, its Tianwang, and one day later, one of the first-line top streamers will release albums in the Asian music scene and the international music scene, and the total cost will not be less than 3 million.

So far, under the joint efforts of the five companies, in the next three months, 11 records will be released in the Asian music scene, 7 of which will be albums, and at least 3 records will be released in the international music scene, of which 1 will be an album.

It is conservatively estimated that the total cost will be more than 1.3 million.

Compared with the whole year of last year, the total cost of releasing films by hundreds of singers in the domestic music scene is much higher.

To put it bluntly, the sum of the existing book funds of all domestic record companies may not be enough for this amount.

This is the most powerful impact of Chinese singers on the foreign music scene since the rise of domestic pop music, and it is also an unprecedented big effort in the domestic music circle.

It is quite a bit like the ancient times when the feudal lords separatized their regimes, and it meant that they went out of the country to crusade outside the frontier.

Professionals with a little experience and knowledge understand that the five companies join forces to compete in the foreign music scene. Regardless of victory or defeat, the pattern of the domestic music circle will be rewritten.

There was a commotion in the circle!
First-line and below record companies belong to the people who eat melons, but they are the most active. Whether it is working hours or after dinner, the company is discussing related topics hotly.

Gunxue and Huili Jing had frequent exchanges between high-level executives, and they argued endlessly about whether to keep up quickly or wait and see patiently.

And the five companies that joined forces have aroused various opinions around almost every link of the album.

It's not surprising that when a company takes on a big project that affects the company's fate, it will definitely attach great importance to it.

What is high regard?

The number of people participating will increase, the review process will increase, the number of high-level interventions will increase, and even the rules of the original operating system will be temporarily broken.

Bear the brunt of the album's language and genre.

Daishi Records, Fu Dongyang's album, he himself prefers Chinese songs or lyrical songs, but a combination of slow and fast. The music director believes that Cantonese songs and rock styles are more suitable, but the first vice president thinks that it should be bilingual, half Chinese , a peninsula mandarin.

Becca Records, Zhao Chuanxiong's album, Luo Yusheng is not against bilingualism, but the two main songs are in Chinese, but the music director insists that the two main songs are Cantonese plus Korean or Island Mandarin.

Wager records are even more controversial.

For this reason, Mr. Hua also specially held a discussion meeting.

Attendees included two vice presidents, music director, gold medal producer, He Jingyun, Zhao Chuanxiong, Liu Huiying, and Li Kai.

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions. The albums of He Jingyun are more consistent in English, while the albums of Zhao Chuanxiong and Liu Huiying are monolingual or bilingual. Among the bilinguals, it is Chinese with Korean, Chinese with Island Mandarin, or Cantonese with Korean and Island Mandarin. In one of them, four different plans appeared.

Of course, none of them are brain-slapping, each has its own reasons.

According to past experience, among the six major cities in China, the influence of Chinese albums in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen is stronger than that of Cantonese albums. The influence of Guangzhou, Baodao, and Hong Kong Island is equal to each other. The influence of Southeast Asian countries exceeds that of Chinese albums.

From the perspective of the entire Asian region, the albums in Korean and island languages ​​have the widest audience. In addition to their own countries, they also radiate Hong Kong Island, Baodao, and many Southeast Asian countries.

This situation is six to seven percent similar to the previous Earth.

Because of this, after the decline of Cantonese albums in China, the number of domestic singers' releases in the Asian music scene has decreased significantly, especially albums, which are naturally difficult to make achievements.

It is very realistic that for first-line mid-range and above singers, the total cost is more than one million to release a Chinese album, and if they get a double platinum in China, the record company can make millions of profits. If it is released in Asia, the total cost will increase several times and the sales It is difficult to upgrade to platinum, but in the end it will lose money. Only fools do such stupid things.

And this courageous challenge, one is that there are many people who are brave, and then there are people who take the lead, and the third is the invasion of the Korean wave, and island singers will also enter the country. .

Another very important point is that the domestic record market has expanded, and the cost of releasing the film has also increased. In the past, double-platinum or above was definitely considered a good result, but now triple-platinum is not uncommon. In the past, the total cost of releasing a film was more than one million. Now But it costs 400 million.

The former provides a thicker backing, while the latter reduces the multiple gap between the sub-regional music scene and the domestic music scene in multiples of the cost of releasing films, and the cost performance has been significantly improved.
Brainstorming is good, but if there are too many suggestions, it will be difficult to make a decision. As President Hua turned his attention to Li Kai, everyone also looked sideways.

As a deal, He Jingyun's album will be released on the international music scene, and Li Kai will write a song for Zhao Chuanxiong and Liu Huiying each. In terms of the language positioning of the trio's album, they do have the right to speak.

I have been silent before, because I don't want to add trouble.

But if you don't want to go back, you have to add to the chaos that should be added, and you can't give out suggestions against your "teammates".

He pondered for a while, and said: "I think Brother Zhao is crowned king with Cantonese songs, and he can consider returning. The album is in three languages, Cantonese, Korean, and Mandarin. Sister Liu has been singing Chinese songs, the same trilingual, Chinese. , small Korean, island language.”

Trilingual!
This kind of situation is not uncommon in foreign music circles, and the difficulty of operability has increased sharply, and it involves a contradiction between taking everything and specializing.

Everyone was startled, some pondered, and some frowned.

Without waiting for everyone's comments, Li took a look at He Jingyun and continued: "He Jingyun's album can be bilingual, Chinese and English."

Everyone was shocked and shocked.

Mr. Hua bowed his forehead, okay, there is one more plan, and it is the most outrageous, no, the most daring, and the most unconstrained.
In the end, the meeting failed to reach a consensus. It was tentatively decided that Zhao Chuanxiong's album will return to Cantonese, and Liu Huiying's album will still be in Chinese. Certainly.

As for He Jingyun's album, Li Kai's bilingual suggestion was selectively ignored.

According to the timing of the release of the films, one day later, Li Kai handed over a score to Zhao Chuanxiong.

As usual, Li Kai sang the demo himself.

"If someone asks me, I will speak, but no one comes. I look forward to it, but I feel helpless. I have something to say, but I can't get it. My mood is like the bottle cap is being lifted."

"Flastic", one of Eason Chan's masterpieces from the previous life, won many awards such as Best Song I Like Most, Best Song, Best Male Singer Performance, Best Melody and Best Lyrics when it was released.

The popularity of this song in China is second only to "Ten Years", but its popularity in the whole of Asia is the undisputed number one among all Eason Chan's songs.

Not only is it widely sung in Southeast Asia, there are many fans in Korea and Japan, because this song has become a fan of Eason Chan.

Even at the awards ceremony of the Korean Music Festival, Eason Chan sang this song, which stunned the Korean stars in the audience, and the fans exploded, almost crazy.

The artistic conception of the song is based on the mentality of a small person, depicting that a small person is not valued, an ordinary life but wants to be extraordinary, but there is nowhere to let oneself be taken care of, the more bitter, sad, and frustrated, from grievance to resentment image.

More of an irony.It is a satire of this oppressive society, there are not many lucky ones, if you have never been one, you will know why.

".You can call me exaggerated. I'm not afraid to add a few boos. I'm here. If there's a boring scene, do you want to watch the performance? Is it hysterical enough? Let's pour tears into the flowers. I only want to surprise you."

For the foreshadowing of the verse part, Li Kai's singing is low-pitched with a hint of depression, but at the climax of the chorus, his voice suddenly let go, like a tide, completely venting the hard-to-suppress negative emotions in his heart, like a person who has no ambition The little people screamed.

The last scream will be full of emotions, hit people's hearts directly, arouse goosebumps all over the body, and tremble in the heart!
As the singing fell, needles could be heard in the recording studio. Zhao Chuanxiong, his manager, assistant, producer, and band members all looked at Li Kai with extremely strange eyes.

I really don't understand how the youngest music king in history, who is admired and worshiped by countless underground and inside singers, rose like a comet after his debut, and climbed to the top of the domestic music scene. The songs are sung so affectionately and thoroughly, as if they feel empathy.

Could it be that before Li Kai made his debut, he had an unknown "gloomy" life?
What they didn't know was that Li Kai from the previous life on Earth was the person in this song.

Sunday afternoon.

After finishing the publicity campaign, the future girl arrived in the capital by flight.

In two weeks, they traveled to 8 countries including Xiaohan, Daoguo, Xinguo, India, and the Philippines. They appeared on 7 TV interview programs, 2 variety shows, and attended the scene of 2 endorsement brands. Activity.

Tomorrow, their album will be released simultaneously in 12 Asian countries.

Since the evening after the release of the album, there was going to be a live interview on Beijing TV Station, so the album press conference was held in the VIP room of Zijin Hotel in Beijing.

Organized by Sunset Records under the group.

In addition to the accompanying team, Huacan Records also arranged for Dong Fei, the director of the marketing department, to accompany them throughout the process, and was responsible for communicating with record companies in various countries.

Passed through the security check and exited the airport, the group boarded the two commercial vehicles sent by Sunset Records to pick up the airport, and drove directly to Zijin Hotel to check in.

In the evening, Li Kai came over in person to clean up the future girl.

The atmosphere during the meal was very good, but Li Kai still felt that everyone was trying to hide it in front of him and forced a smile.

In particular, the lingering look of tiredness in the eyebrows and eyes of the three of Lin Yue, as well as the unknowingly expressed melancholy, Li opened his eyes and knew the reason in his heart.

During this period of time, he was in the capital, and he had never lost contact with Shenzhen City. From Su Ting and Qiao Li, he heard about the situation that future girls encountered when they were making publicity.

After a good meal, Li Kai took the initiative to invite Lin Yue and the three of them to go for a walk in the garden. After thinking about it, he invited Dong Fei to join him.

Surrounded by Simei, he took the elevator downstairs, walked through the corridor, passed the lobby, and exited the hotel gate. Along the way, he admired many male Communist Party members and hotel guests.

It also caused the handsome guy to suffer an innocent disaster, but he peeked a few more times from a distance, and was noticed by his girlfriend, who was a head shorter and about the same weight, and stepped on the back of his foot fiercely, causing the handsome guy to turn blue from the pain , trembling and sucking air from the corners of his mouth.

Under the night, in the garden, illuminated by the night lights, it is quiet and beautiful.

Li Kai said: "This time, Huacan, Huage, Nisuo, Becca, Daishi, the five companies will join forces. In the next three months, 11 albums will be released on the Asian music scene. Do you know the news? "

All four of them hummed, and a few days later, when they contacted the company, they got the news.

The five families joined forces to set off a Huaguo trend in the Asian music scene, and the future girls will be the first.

Born from the heart, the four daughters inadvertently wrote "heavy mind" on their faces.

Li opened his mind and said, "Sister Lin, Wen Xin, do you still remember when I first joined Time Records and released my first single?"

Lin Yue and Zhang Wenxin nodded subconsciously, and looked at Li Kan, who smiled and said, "At the beginning, I was a pure rookie, and I didn't know who to provoke. , it’s not that I’m not good at singing, it’s just that I’m bad at singing, and I’m not only a target of public criticism, it feels like I’m about to be drowned in saliva.”

"I didn't have an agent at the time, and Teacher Ni and Su Ting were with me during the publicity period. Teacher Ni jumped in a hurry and called Mr. Qiao five times a day on average, asking for the company's crisis public relations. Su Ting was also in a hurry, but there was nothing she could do. , insomnia every night."

"The ordeal of that week"

Li Kai shook his head and sighed, feeling a lot of emotion. He looked at Dong Fei and Meng Wei, who had heard about it for the first time, and Li Kai, who was in full swing, had such an unbearable experience at the beginning of his debut.

Then pick up the previous words, and slowly said: "In my opinion, it is completely superfluous. I told Teacher Ni and Su Ting at the time that no matter how much he discredits the appearance of a noble person, the singer's foundation is singing. As long as the song is good, it will not be buried, because fans judge whether a song is good or bad, not by how many people comment on it, but by listening to the song with their own ears."

When Li Kai mentioned this, the four daughters understood the meaning of the words no matter how stupid they were.

During this publicity campaign, when the three daughters of Lin Yue were on a variety show in the island country, they were ridiculed by the island singer on the same show, booed by the fans in the audience, and made things difficult for the host when Xiao Han was on the talk show. When Guo attended the brand endorsement event, he was scolded by a group of young people in the audience, and the scene was once extremely embarrassing.
Li Kai used the experience of releasing his first single when he debuted to tell them that these cold receptions are nothing. As a singer, it is a song in the final analysis. As long as the song is good, it will be recognized by fans.

The four girls nodded one after another. Unconsciously, they relaxed a lot, and the melancholy in their eyebrows and eyes lightened a lot.

The next day, Monday, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Future Girl's new album release conference was grandly held in the VIP Hall of Zijin Hotel!
