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

Chapter 603 Dare to Gamble?

Compared with Future Girls, the release of Four Dog Days was very sudden. Previously, Hua Can only announced that Four Dog Days was about to release a new album, but did not give a specific time, and there was no publicity before the release of the film.

It would be okay if it was only released domestically, but it was released in 12 countries in the Asian region, and it was the first time, which inevitably gave people a feeling of haste and pretension.

But with a total cost of 1 million, the album was released instead of a single, including 1 songs in three languages, which made people see Huacan's high hopes and even ambitions for the band Four Dog Days.

There are many speculations in the circle. Some people think that the new album of Future Girls is unexpectedly popular, which makes Four Dog Days eager to catch up with the popularity, so they released the film in advance and temporarily canceled the promotional campaign.

Some people also think that the reason for the lack of publicity for the new album of Four Dog Days is to avoid diluting the focus of future girls during the promotion period of the album.

Some people think that it is just haste and carelessness. Huacan announced that in the next three months, it will release 6 albums in the Asian music scene and 1 album in the international music scene. Obviously, there is an internal schedule. The recording time of Four Dog Days It exceeded expectations, and Hua Can was unwilling to change the established schedule, so she hastily released the film, and the future girl became a hit in the Asian music scene, Hua Can has a lot of confidence.

Of course, it doesn't matter how many guesses are true or false, right or wrong, and the Four Dog Days band released the film out of nowhere. This is an undeniable fact!
The only thing that matters is the song, which is the key to success or failure.

The first Chinese main song on the screen made people's eyes brighten.

"Gentleness" writes about youth and leaves regrets, with a touch of sadness and more relief. This is a song that soothes the soul and is extremely gentle.

Compared with half a year ago, Xiao He's singing skills have improved significantly. His voice can be retracted and released freely, and his emotions and artistic conception of the song are seamlessly linked. It is touching and tearful.

Must be red!

This is the most intuitive judgment of more than [-]% of musicians in the circle.

And this judgment was applied in the domestic sales report released on Monday.

The album of Dog Days was released for three days, and the first week of sales broke the 10 mark, reaching more than 11 copies, jumping to the third place.

The first place is still Future Girls. In the peak week of regular sales, they lived up to expectations and sold more than 34 copies. This is the highest sales volume in a single week in the domestic music scene this year, except for Li Kai's album.

The second place is Dong Ming, with sales of more than 15 copies. The album has been released for 3 days, with a cumulative sales of more than 17 copies. It is a foregone conclusion to achieve the first platinum album since his debut. The full moon will reach the default one and a half platinum, which is also very hopeful .

Amuro Tianhua fell from third to fifth last week, with sales of more than 11 copies.

Li Kai is still ranked fourth. The album sold more than 12 in the previous week, and more than 7 last week. So far, the album has been released for three months, with a total of 11 million copies and broke 3 gold.

Later, last week's sales volume of countries in the Asian region will be summarized one after another.

Future Girls, Southeast Asian countries, more than 23 copies, Xiaohan, more than 31 copies, and island countries, more than 40 copies.

The total sales reached a new high, more than 129 million copies.

The cumulative sales in three weeks amounted to more than 337 million copies.

Amuro Tianhua, Southeast Asian countries, more than 29 sheets, Xiaohan, more than 15 sheets, island countries, more than 32 sheets.

The total sales volume is nearly 89 copies.

Four Dog Days band, Southeast Asian countries, more than 7 copies, Xiao Han, more than 5 copies, and island countries, more than 6 copies.

Three days later, on Thursday, the bulletin board changed its list in the middle of the week, and there were surprises and surprises.

It is still first, third, and fourth. "Don't Give Up" won the top spot again, and "Chinese Language" and "Elated" changed positions.

This result is surprising, but not surprising. After all, last week there were no top-tier singers in Asia. Amuro Tianka’s album was sold well in island countries and Southeast Asia. Location.

What is surprising is that the Four Dog Days band, "Gentleness" entered the list at No. [-], and Dao Guowen and Xiao Hanwen were the main hits. Although they only ranked [-] and [-], they were solidly on the list.

This is the third time that a Chinese singer has released an album in the Asian music scene, and the main hits have been on the bulletin board for the third time.

Before, there were only Wang Jingfang and the future girl.

On this day, the Four Dog Days band, which ended Huaguo's propaganda, "moved" to the island country. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they took a flight to Dongliang, the capital of the island country.

At [-]:[-] p.m., there was a variety show with the sixth-ranked audience rating in the island country, and the title song of the new album of island country culture was brought to the scene.

"とどまる事を知らない时间の中で (in the time when I don't know how to stay), いくつもの改りゆく街创创见めていた (dreaming of the ever-changing street), 广な过ぎて消えた帰らぬ梦のMianying を (those dreams that are too naive to never return), すれ追う少年に重ねたりして (overlapping and passing on the boy who passed by)”

The bright and clear background music complements the darkened stage illuminated by dancing lights, like a night sky dotted with stars, and Xiao He's penetrating, slightly sandy voice is like a full moon hanging in the night sky .

The double impact of the audio-visual effect can easily catch the audience's ears and make their hearts throb.

"Tomorrow Never Knows", the first representative work of Mr.Children, a legendary Japanese band in the previous life.

Mr.Children formed a group in 89. The last single sold over one million was in 12. It spanned 23 years and won a total of 29 championship singles and 12 championship albums. It has influenced at least two generations. An out-and-out evergreen tree in the Japanese music scene.

Although the total album sales ranks second in Japan, below B'z's Nose Band, the limit sales of a single album is still two albums, surpassing B'z.

To use an inappropriate analogy, B'z is like Brazil in the football world, and Mr. Children is like Argentina. It is hard to say which of the two has more fans, but Argentina's fans are definitely more fanatical.

This "Tomorrow Never Knows" is Mr. Children's highest-selling single, ranking seventh in Japanese single sales history!

The strong will to survive and courage to face the helpless and lonely future in the song inspired many people to bravely face difficulties.

In 95, the Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred in Japan, killing more than 6400 people; in March, the world-shocking subway sarin gas incident occurred in Tokyo. Had the idea of ​​​​wearing the world and committing suicide.

It was this song released in 94 that continued to become popular after the sales volume after the earthquake, which made many people's suicidal thoughts disappear, and their hope for life was rekindled.

At the end of the concert, cheers and applause rang out, the stage was still dark, but in the flickering lights, we could still vaguely see the tearful faces in the auditorium.

Just like when the future girl sang "Don't Give Up" live.

The applause lasted for half a minute before it gradually died down.
Saturday, morning.

A passenger plane from Beijing landed at Shenzhen Airport.

Li got off the plane with his eyes wide open, strode through the aisle, passed the security check, and met Qiao Li who came to pick him up.

The two came to the underground garage. Qiao Li drove the special car provided by the company. She got into the cab without bothering the driver on weekends.

Li opened his eyes and entered the co-pilot, and Qiao Li handed over a Napoleon cake: "It's such an early shift, so I have an early breakfast, and I don't know when it's time for lunch, so I'll eat something to fill my stomach first."

Li Kai was not polite, and took a big bite when he brought it over, the crumbs fell off his body, he ate two buns for breakfast, and only drank water on the plane, he was really hungry.

Seeing this, Qiao Li shook her head, took a few napkins for him, then started the car, and said while controlling the steering wheel, "Is everything settled in the capital?"

Li Jing hummed, and said vaguely: "I wrote four songs for Huage, 280 million, three songs for Nisuo, 200 million, and one song for Sunset Records, 50, a total of 530 million. During this time, I was a foreigner. The wind comes and goes, and countless brain cells die. It’s not like sitting in the office every day and blowing on the air-conditioning, and 53 yuan will fall into your pocket. Alas, this person has different fates.”

If you change your manager, the "master" who is being served will probably not be able to sleep at night, especially this master is still the most profitable one in the domestic music scene, and the share he gives is particularly high
Qiao Li laughed it off, and responded naturally: "That is."

Li Kai immediately rolled his eyes.

Qiao Li turned to the main topic: "The people from TY came over on Monday, led by the marketing director. They talked twice but failed to reach an agreement. Yesterday, the vice president of TY came again and made an appointment to start talking at 10 o'clock this morning. Will it be successful? The achievement depends on today."

Li Kai nodded. The reason why he took such an early flight back was because of Qiao Li and Su Ting's "urging".

According to his mind, he wanted to make the shopkeeper go to the end, but the two vice presidents of the group agreed that the terms of cooperation or acquisition had to be decided by him.

"What do you think of the possibility of an acquisition?"

"Not much."

Qiao Li was a little helpless, she knew that what Li Kai wanted most was not cooperation but acquisition, but this matter was not unilateral
"TY is Xiaohan's fifth-ranked entertainment company. Although the finances are very tight, it has not yet reached the point of insolvency. Besides, even if it is acquired, TY will probably choose Xiaohan's other entertainment companies, such as ikuqi, Domi Coffee, after all, the Xiaohan music circle has an attitude of looking down on the Huaguo music circle, and this cannot be changed by the big sales of one or two singers in Huaguo."

Li Kai frowned slightly, took another bite of Napoleon, chewed slowly, and after swallowing, he let out a muffled grunt, and a sneer flashed from the corner of his mouth.

After half an hour.

Qiao Li locked the car, entered the building of the group together with Li Kai, and came to the large conference room on the second floor.

In the conference room, there was a large conference table. The people from TY sat on the right side. The leader was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a strict demeanor. He was the vice president of TY, Wen Longkang.

Hua Can's people sat on the left side, led by Su Ting, Xue Bing, Shen Guanchang, and several assistants.

Seeing Li Kai came in, Su Ting made an introduction, Li Kai shook hands with Wen Longkang, and then naturally sat in the central seat.

The people on TY's side saw this, and both the marketing manager and the vice president's secretary frowned. It was true that this was Huacan's home game, but as both parties at the negotiating table, it was not in line with the principle of equality for Li Kai to take the lead.

Wen Longkang didn't change his face, he could speak Chinese, he didn't even need to translate, exchanged a few words with Li Kai, and then cut to the point.

It roughly means that TY has shown the greatest sincerity for cooperation and is willing to exchange 2 to 1, that is, two Korean singers enter the Huaguo market through Huacan, and one singer from Huacan enters the Asian music scene , in countries other than China, TY can provide film distribution channels, and in Xiaohan, it not only provides film distribution channels, but also includes promotional resources.

In terms of fees, they split [-]-[-] with each other, and the income is also [-]-[-].

Compared with the previous conditions, it is indeed much better.

The fundamental reason is that Future Girl's album sales are exploding, and Four Dog Days' album's three main titles are all on the billboard in the first week of release, which allows TY to see the competitiveness of Chinese singers in the Asian music scene.

Li Kai murmured factually, asked Su Ting for the acquisition plan, flipped through the materials and said, "President Wen, if it's just a distribution channel for countries in the Asian region, Huacan already has one. Xiao Han's promotional resources, this cooperation is meaningless."

Seeing Li Kai's negligence, Wen Longkang's secretary said, "One agent for one country, this can only be used for a while, it's not a long-term solution, besides, I still have a channel to release films in the international music scene."

Li opened her eyes and said, "So, I think it's better to buy."

As he said that, he turned his gaze to Wen Longkang: "Our valuation of TY Records under TY Entertainment is not low at one billion Hua Guoyuan. Huacan paid 6 million yuan to acquire 51% of the shares. This price is very reasonable. Of course, before the acquisition, the debt still needs to be calculated.”

Wen Longkang showed embarrassment: "Chairman Li, regarding the acquisition, I have already told Mr. Su very frankly that no one in TY Records will accept it. After all, whether it is a songwriter or a singer in Huaguo, the overall level of the Asian music scene They are much worse than Xiao Han. This is an indisputable fact. If I were acquired by a Huaguo record company, my reputation in the industry would plummet. Not only would the staff of TY record leave one after another, but it would also affect TY’s subordinates. other companies."

Li Kai was noncommittal: "TY Records does not have a top-tier Asian region, but only one top-tier record. The sales of the last two albums have not been satisfactory, and their popularity has declined significantly. The other two first-tier albums, the latest album's performance is also tepid. , and under Huacan, the girl in the future is about to be crowned queen in the Asian music scene, and the Four Dog Days band is guaranteed to be crowned king. Ability to cultivate a first-line super-first-line, the acquisition of TY Records, is it not qualified?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Longkang and others were speechless for a while. The secretary looked at Wen Longkang, and saw that the latter had nothing to say. Knowing that some ugly words could only be said by her, he gritted his teeth and said: "It is impossible to cultivate Huaguo singers." On behalf of being able to train Korean singers”

Li Kai stopped her words: "If it is possible?"

The secretary choked, and Li Kai said lightly: "How about we make a bet and cooperate according to the plan proposed by President Wen, and I, Huacan, will select two singers below the top line from TY Records, and then take full responsibility for their work?" As for record production, if both of them are able to reach the first-tier by relying on record sales, then TY will accept Huacan’s acquisition, if one of them can’t make it to the first-line, the acquisition will be over and the cooperation between the two parties will continue.”

After a pause, he looked at Wen Longkang and said word by word: "President Wen, I, Huacan, have already shown my sincerity. Now it's up to you whether you dare to bet or not?"
