Chapter 672 Two Milestones in the History of Pop Music

Chapter 672 Two Milestones in the History of Pop Music
Li Kai smiled wryly: "Acquisition, it's not that easy. It's not just a matter of money. When Huacan was still a studio, the acquisition of Time Records, including the acquisition of TY Records after entering the Asian music scene, would have been impossible if it hadn't been through a bet. Impossible."

"If Huacan hadn't declared war on Qiandai before, maybe there is still a chance, now."

He didn't go on, just shook his head again and again, obviously holding a negative attitude.

The conclusion of the two bets was based on the fact that the other party believed that it was a sure thing. Not only the other party thought so, but even the insiders thought so. Supporting Gunxue behind the scenes, the bet with TY, ikuqi, Saul and other sub-regional giants also release videos at the same time with their high-end singers and a large number of singers, forming a high pressure and a sea of ​​people to obstruct.

It can be said that the two bets were an important turning point for Hua Can. Li Kai's own possession accounted for [-]% of the win, and luck also accounted for [-]%.

If the five major domestic giants attach great importance to it and fight it as a defensive battle to stop the small Hallyu, the major giants in the Asian region will not only rely on tacit understanding, but will truly join forces and do their best to create obstacles. Betting on whether the contract can win, It's really unknown.

Gold won't be buried in sand?
Just kidding, that is just an inspirational motto. If it is true that it will not be buried, there will be no treasures that have been buried in the dust for a hundred years, only to be excavated by later generations after a thousand years. There are even more treasures that have been buried in the ground until now.

With the two lessons learned from the past, plus the fact that Huacan declared war on Qiandai, the Old Boys, the Dog Days, and Murphy's record sales, it means that Huacan's ability has been put on the bright side. The old trick repeats itself, it is not seeking wealth and wealth, but digging holes for yourself.

Xu Qianqiu shook his head, and said slowly: "It's different. In the past, the domestic music scene was closed, and it was small compared to the Asian music scene. Similarly, the Asian music scene was also small compared to the Omi music scene. It didn't happen until these two years. There have been some changes, and the source of this change is the Huaguo market."

"The total volume of Huaguo's record market in the year before last increased by more than 10% compared to the year before last, and last year it increased by more than [-]% compared to the year before last. Those Asian giants and international giants have a much sharper sense of the market than you imagined. They They are scrambling to enter the Huaguo market. Firstly, the current Huaguo market is already qualified to enter their eyes. They are here because they are optimistic about the future development of the Huaguo market. After all, Huaguo is the most populous in the entire planet. The country has four times the population of the United States, and its economy is developing rapidly, and the income of ordinary people is also increasing by more than [-] points every year."

"With the growth of the Huaguo market, the Asian region market has also grown accordingly. The gap with the Omi market is rapidly narrowing. Don't underestimate the temptation of this cake. I dare say that there are ten record companies on Omi's side. The nine families salivate, and there is no one who does not want a share."

"Huacan is the only transnational record company in China. Cooperating with Huacan is equivalent to entering the Asian market in one step, and can also penetrate into the Huaguo market. How tempting do you think this is?"

"There are many kinds of cooperation, and acquisition is one of them. There are hundreds of large and small Omi Records companies, and they are distributed in different countries, with different resource advantages. Take the six international giants as an example, and there are four in the United States. 4 in China and 1 in China, because the two companies in China are not dominant in the country, let alone in other countries, and the 1 companies in the United States also have some local record companies in the United States. , can form a direct competition with it, and even become more competitive.”

"This provides the possibility and opportunity for Huacan's acquisition. For example, a record company in the country has a lot of influence in the country and even in Europe, but it is limited to this. If it is acquired, it can go out of Europe. , Entering the Asian region and Beimi market, the profit has doubled compared to the original, you said, will the other party be tempted?"

"I think there are so many record companies, there will always be some who will be tempted, especially when they encounter bottlenecks or tight financial flows."

Hearing Xu Qianqiu's detailed explanation, Li opened his eyes slightly, and his heart became warm.

If Huacan can be transformed into an international record company through the acquisition, he naturally hopes.

At the beginning, after winning the bet and successfully acquiring TY Records, it was equivalent to binding the interests of TY Entertainment. The expansion of the company's singers in Asia, whether it is record promotional resources, film distribution channels, or even performances and endorsements It is much smoother than before, especially in Xiao Korea, as long as it pays a little more than ikuqi, it can win the resources that ikuqi monopolizes.

In fact, those who really dislike foreign record companies entering the "territory" are those giants at the top of the pyramid, as well as individual first-line record companies, because they are the lion kings of the "territory".

In the territory, there are dozens of times or even hundreds of times more other record companies than them, just like lionesses, stray male lions, and lion cubs, they are not so disgusted with foreign intruders, because no matter who is the lion king , they are all attached to, or survive in the cracks.

Even some ambitious wandering male lions hope to invade and break the existing pattern of a few lion kings occupying the "territory", because of changes, they have a chance to rise to the top.

In short, if Chinese singers want to truly gain a foothold in the international music scene, they must not only be excellent themselves, but also rely on the hard indicators of record sales to reach the first-tier, top-tier, and even super-tier-one. In addition to having enough competitiveness, the company's "territory" It is also crucial to establish a base camp and a large lion group.

Li Kai came home in the early eleven o'clock. He wanted to talk to Qiao Li tomorrow, but when he opened the door, he saw Qiao Li coming out of the kitchen with a glass of milk. Give him this cup and go back to the kitchen to reheat a cup.

Li Jian drank the milk, and by the way, mentioned the idea of ​​the acquisition. This mention made Qiao Li excited, and the two came to the living room and chatted seriously.

Afterwards, at the instigation of Qiao Li that "time is not waiting for me, we must race against time", Li Kai called Su Ting and Xue Bing, one was the vice president of the group, and the other was the group financial director.

Whether the acquisition plan is feasible, the opinions of the two of them are very important.

It was past midnight when the two arrived at Li Kai's house one after another.

The four of them sat in the living room, but they chatted more and more vigorously. At two o'clock in the morning, Shen Guanchang was called out of bed by Li Kai's phone call. When he arrived at Li Kai's house half an hour later, this guy was yawning. But after sitting down and chatting for a while, the whole school was tired and energetic.

Just like that, the lights in the living room were turned on all night, and the five of them also stayed up all night.

At six o'clock in the morning, Mother Li got up and went downstairs. Seeing the picture in the living room, she was stunned for a while and couldn't recover.

At a quarter past seven, everyone gathers around the dining table to have breakfast.

Knowing that Li Kai and the others hadn't slept all night, Li's mother bought a relatively light porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat, and boiled boiled eggs.

"Young people are engaged in careers. There is no way to be busy with work, but you must also pay attention to rest. Staying up all night is very harmful to your health."

Needless to say, Xue Bing and Shen Guanchang, even Su Ting and Li's father have met twice, knowing that they are both shareholders of the company and high-level executives. It is certain that the company needs to work hard, but as an elder, it is necessary to remind and care of.

Li Kai took the opportunity to sue: "Dad, what you said is too reasonable. I said the same thing last night, but my sister is a workaholic, so she insisted on dragging me."

Qiao Li rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then said to Father Li: "Dad, you don't know, we didn't have to stay up all night, we were busy discussing, and he slept on the sofa, and his snoring sound was like thunder. our efficiency."

After hearing this, Li's head was full of black lines, and the others couldn't stop laughing.

Mother Li shook her head, and changed the topic: "Wake up, you are not going to the capital today, what time is the flight?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

"How many days are you going this time?"

"About a week, come back at the weekend at the earliest."

Li Ran, who was sucking on the noodles, suddenly raised his head and said, "You promised to accompany us to the movies."

We naturally counted our little cousin. The two girls have finished their final exams and have already entered the summer vacation.

Li Kai made an uh sound: "Wait until I come back from the capital."

Li Ran pouted: "We'll leave when you come back. We won't be back until the end of July."

In a few days, my aunt will come to Shenzhen City, take my cousin and Li Ran back to Nanshi, and agree to live in my aunt's house for a month.

Seeing that Li Ran's pursed mouth could hold oil bottles, the little cousin also looked at him eagerly, Li Kai shook his head and smiled: "Okay, I won't go to the company in the morning, I will watch a movie with you, and you will have lunch later Feast."

Li's mother hurriedly said: "I haven't slept all night, and I will catch up on sleep in the morning."

Li opened his hands and waved: "Mom, it's okay. I slept intermittently for several hours yesterday. I'm not tired. Besides, if I'm really sleepy, I can sleep while watching a movie."

Xue Bing grinned and said, "Your snoring noise will affect other people's watching movies. Be careful not to be kicked out. If you are caught by reporters again, it will be interesting."

Li Kai's face turned black: "Believe it or not, this time I met Hujia in the capital, I will report you."

"Just pretend I didn't say it." Xue Bing choked, surrendered decisively, and stuffed a boiled egg into his mouth.

After breakfast, Qiao Li, Xue Bing, Su Ting, and Shen Guanchang went straight to work. The latter three took a taxi last night. Qiao Li didn't want to drive tired, so the four took a taxi.

Li Kai accompanied Li Ran and his little cousin to take a taxi to the shopping mall to watch a movie.

I bought a movie ticket at 300 o'clock, and naturally watched the latest Hollywood blockbuster "Casa Tielon". Even in the morning show, there were nearly 7 seats in the entire screening hall, and the attendance rate was [-]%.

It can be seen how popular this film is.

Of course, this is also related to the students' summer vacation.

The story line of the film is not the same as that of "Titanic" on Earth in the previous life, but there are some similarities in the plot.

After playing for about an hour, the camera came under the starry night sky, and the hero and heroine ran up the empty plywood, facing the sea breeze, cuddling each other and looking at the endless sea.

The melodious and gentle background music sounded, followed by Ning Lan's affectionate singing: "Every night in my dreams (every night, in my dreams), I see you, I feel you (I see you, I feel you) You), That is how I know you go on (I know your heart)"

"My Heart Will Go On", the culmination of Celine Dion's previous world queen, the theme song of the Hollywood masterpiece "Titanic", is also the most successful film soundtrack.

In the case of limited sales worldwide, it still achieved an amazing sales volume of 1200 million copies.

The song was ranked No.18 in the music charts of 1 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Denmark, and Belgium, and won the championship for many weeks.

Won Oscars and Golden Globes for "Best Original Song", Grammys for "Record of the Year", "Song of the Year" and "Best Pop Female Vocal Performance".

Celine Dion also won the Best Female Singer Award in almost all heavyweight awards for this song.

There is no doubt that this song is a milestone in the history of pop music, with great influence. In a certain country or a certain region, there may be a few classics that can be compared with it, but on a global scale, it is There is no one before, and no one has come since.

That's why Li Kai was so persistent in trying to get the theme song of "Casa Tielon" for Ning Lan.

In terms of music, the Irish tin whistle with a strong national flavor is melodious, melodious and poignant in the song. The melody ranges from the initial gentleness to the passion, to the lingering climax, and finally to the soul-stirring and tragic epilogue.

In line with the disparity in the status of the male and female protagonists in the film, the romantic and warm love scene at this moment, especially the climax part, the two people look at each other under the starry sky, and under the burst of inner emotions, the scene of passionate embrace and stability.

It made all the audience in the screening hall feel a strong throbbing feeling in their hearts!
It's a pity that Li Kai didn't see this scene, and naturally his heart was pounding. The sleepiness of the whole night hit him, causing him to tilt his head and fall into a deep sleep. Under the mask, there was a subtle "whooping" sound.

At the same time, it was night in the United States on the other side of the ocean.

As a guest, Ning Lan appeared on Channel [-]'s fifth-ranked talk show in the country.

In the show, she sang the second English title of the album live.

"If I should stay, I would only be in your way, So I'll go, but I know. "

"I Will Always Love You", past Earth, the first masterpiece of international diva Whitney Houston.
