Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 279 Anti-War English Single Disc

"Call me if you have any news, I'll go back and have a rest first!
You know, it's really tiring to finish the song in one day! "

He Jin said goodbye to Hua Jianhe.

As for whether Caesar will agree to his request and accept the song, He Jin really doesn't care now.

What he wants most now is to go back and sleep well.

After leaving Yanyin, He Jin rushed back to the hotel where he was staying and fell asleep.

The next day, he was woken up by the sound of the phone.

"He Jinjun, I have to say, you are really a genius, I agree with your request to own the copyright..."

On the phone, Caesar said this after He Jin answered the phone.

"Happy cooperation!"

He Jin said with a smile!

"Happy cooperation!"

……

In the afternoon, He Jin went to sign a contract with Caesar to authorize them to use this song.

Because the copyright of this song was not sold to them, the fee for using this song is naturally very small, only [-] Hong Kong dollars.

However, both parties added their own terms.

First, if "Slam Dunk" is going to release an animation album, He Jin will get one-half of the total number of songs on this album for every piece sold.

And second, this article is aimed at He Jin.

That is, he could not make this song into a single or include it in the album before the release of the "Slam Dunk" album.

Of course, for concerts and other events, he can naturally sing this song.

It's just that He Jin can't release this song within a certain period of time.

The reason for this is naturally that they are afraid that after He Jin releases the song, if they release it again, no audience will buy it.

After all, others already have singles or albums containing this song, so how could they buy "Slam Dunk Music Collection" because of this song.

……

On August [-]th, beyond finally ended their performance activities, and they had time to record the song "Zombie" with He Jin.

The song "Zombie" is an anti-war rock song.

The lyrics are full of words about the Irish attack.

Therefore, the first location of this song is undoubtedly the UK and Ireland.

For He Jin and beyond, the European region.

It was an unfamiliar area.

Whether it's relationships or fan base, they have zero over there.

Don't look at He Jin, wherever he goes in Asia, he is like a ball of bright fireworks, which can attract a lot of people's attention.

But in Europe, he is actually just a complete newcomer.

But fortunately, He Jin is not afraid of difficulties in releasing his single after it is released.

His foreign language records are here at Polygram.

As the most famous and largest record company in the world, it is also the oldest record company in the world so far.

PolyGram was formed in 1972 through the merger of Dechon and Philips.

The PolyGram Group, which merged the two companies, assisted Philips in creating cassettes in the 70s and CD laser discs in the 80s. It has developed rapidly in business and merged the British Decca company into the group.

It can be said that in terms of music distribution, among the world's largest companies, Polygram has the most distribution channels.

In addition, London, England is the headquarters of PolyGram.

Therefore, although He Jin is not popular in Europe, as long as his works are outstanding, PolyGram has the ability to promote them.

The recording of the song "Zombie" took a total of three days.

After all, it is the first time to play English song production, so He Jin seems a little rusty.

In addition, there is another reason for the slower speed because this is the first time he and beyond have cooperated, and there will inevitably be problems in the cooperation between the two.

After the recording of the song was completed, the members of beyond bid farewell to He Jin and continued their own music journey.

As for He Jin, he continued to stay in the recording studio and started recording the other two songs.

As a single disc, in order to obtain a certain amount of sales and influence.

It is best to choose three songs for the single disc.

And He Jin's single is no exception, he chose to produce three songs.

Just like when he released the Korean single, the style was all electronic dance music, so this English single naturally has its own characteristics.

This feature is - anti-war.

As an Asian, it is not that simple to break into the English-speaking market.

If there is no suitable opportunity, it is really difficult to succeed.

This year, because of some riots happening around the world and the decision of the United Nations to send peacekeeping troops to Somalia, there are a lot of anti-war voices around the world.

In He Jin's view, this is an opportunity.

Why did Michael Jackson become the king of pop in the world, and he was welcomed no matter where he went?
In addition to the good music of his own works, there is another important reason, that is, he has been engaged in various public welfare and charity and even pays attention to vulnerable groups.

Many of his songs are songs that reflect and even appeal to society.

Look at his MV, why is it said that Michael Jackson's MV is a movie?
In addition to investing a lot of money in the production of his MV, another point is that his MV has a very strong artistic quality. It exposes the unknown side of the society and calls on people to pay attention and help!

Sometimes, that's how influence comes about.

Although there will only be one Michael Jackson in this world.

But it is impossible to only have Michael Jackson as a voice with music.

He Jin also wants to be a person who speaks through music.

Therefore, this anti-war single came into being.

This single disc, in addition to "Zombie (zombie)", the other two songs are:

"That Place in Your Heart"

"One Day"

The three songs are all songs with a particularly strong anti-war meaning.

Because the song has a plan in his mind, the recording of the next two songs did not take much time.

On the [-]th, he also finished recording the next two songs.

But after the recording of the song was completed, He Jin began to hesitate.

He is hesitating whether to make three MVs casually, or invest more money to shoot three MVs that can make people think.

The MV is sometimes said to be unimportant, and it is not important. After all, it is just an auxiliary of the song.

But if it is not important, it is very important.

Especially this kind of song that appeals to the society, if it is paired with a high-quality MV, the effect will naturally be obvious.

This can be seen from Michael Jackson's MV.

Every one of his MVs is competing to be played on TV stations around the world. It is precisely with the help of the MV, his own influence and the quality of the songs themselves that each of his songs can be broadcast in every corner of the world as soon as it is released. The country quickly climbed to the top position.

He Jin has also experienced the benefits brought by the MV.

Whether it's "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season" in his first album or the single "I thought about it too" released by Little Japan, they have invested a lot of money to create a complete story and match the song. Then it has a huge impact.
