This star is wrong

Chapter 305 The new album is finalized, head-to-head confrontation
As the end of July approaches, Fang Xing's new album "Unconvinced" is scheduled to be released on August 8nd.

This date is only 5 days away from the new album of Mai Lin Tianwang Tan Zhiguan.

With the current mode of releasing the album online, there is only 5 days left, which is equivalent to no difference.

Because the current first-line singers release new albums, they release one or two songs every week, so that the popularity of the album can last for one or two months.

Extending the release time will greatly help the album sales.

Therefore, the release time is only 5 days away, which is actually a hit date.

Due to the collision of the new album schedules, after Ark Culture and Songshi Records announced the release date of the new album "Unacceptable", it instantly ignited the Internet topic.

In less than an hour, the topic of Fang Xing's new album rushed to Weibo's trending searches.

Tan Zhiguan's new album "The Return of the King" has been on the trending searches last week, and it has dropped out of the top ten in the past few days.

But as Fang Xing's new album "Unconvinced" rushed into the trending searches, it immediately brought up the trending words of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

The topic of the new albums released by the two singers at the same time was swiping the screen on major online platforms:
[It actually happened. Two weeks ago, it was revealed that Fang Xing was going to release a new album. I thought it would take at least three to five months. I didn’t arrive this month, so I released it directly. It caught people off guard. . 】

【I go!This is not aimed at Tan Zhiguan, is it?I seem to smell gunpowder. 】

[The release date of Fang Xing's new album is a bit subtle, it's only 5 days later than Tan Zhiguan's. 】

[What does the title of the album "Unconvinced" mean?Who is not convinced?Who do you disagree with?Don't you mean something? 】

[As an insider, I probably know what "Dissatisfaction" means.Fang Xing only debuted for two years, whether it is long or not, it is not short.The scale of the company is not large, but the potential is great.There are too many capitals who want to eat the cake of Ark Culture. It was only investigated by a certain department not long ago, and it should be suppressed. 】

[You don't need to think about it, the suppression is certain. How could the top ten record companies allow a new singer to step on them.Vicious competition is indispensable, and the title of this album is already obvious.I want to challenge the capital with my strength, but I am not very optimistic about the result. I will either be taught a lesson or be incorporated. 】

[This is interesting. As a melon-eating crowd, I just want to watch gods fight. 】

……

Fang Xing decided to release a new album on August 8, and it wasn't intentional.

In fact, when the album was almost finished, I planned to release it in August.

Because, Ark Culture urgently needs to show its strength and show its muscles.

Even if there are more than 20 popular songs, plus "Wulin Biography" and "The Beginning".

Ark Culture's performance is so good, but in the eyes of capital companies such as Dingsheng Capital, it is only a company with a valuation of 2.5 million.

The valuation of 2.5 million is actually a very embarrassing figure.

The valuation is not low, but it is far from the industry giants.

To put it more directly, a company with this kind of valuation is the fattest meat in the eyes of capital.

The scale is not enough to become an industry giant, and the capital can be eaten up with a little effort.

There are indeed ways to get out of this embarrassing situation of being eaten by capital, but no matter what the method is, there is a prerequisite.

That is, blacksmithing needs to win by itself, and you must show your strength.

Only when you are strong enough can you have a chance to wrestle with capital, otherwise you will be eaten to the bone.

There is still time for Ark Culture, but not too much time.

If it drags on for another year or two, if you still can't jump out of the stage of being swallowed by capital, it will be even more difficult later.

Therefore, when Fang Xing started making the album, he planned to release a new album in the middle of the year.

Therefore, the release time of the new album is basically determined to be August.

It depends on whether it is the beginning of August or the end of August.

If you choose to release it at the end of August, you can indeed avoid the competition from Tan Zhiguan's new album.

The number of songs in Tan Zhiguan's new album has been announced, a total of 10 songs, and the release period will last for more than a month.

If Fang Xing chooses to release a new album at the end of August, there will be little competition with Tan Zhiguan.

If it was last year, Fang Xing might choose to avoid it.

But after the Dachuan audio incident, Fang Xing's attitude began to change.

Coupled with the fact that Dingsheng Capital wants to eat the Ark Culture this time, Fang Xing already understood that avoiding it is useless, it will only make the opponent push his nose in the face.

This contest is no longer just a contest of albums, there are more undercurrents behind it.

The capital behind Mine Records is Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital.

Before, it was Pengcheng Capital who took the initiative to find trouble.

This time, Fang Xing chose August 8nd to announce to the capital behind Mailin Records that the counterattack has begun!

That's right, this new album is a signal to fight back.

In the past, Pengcheng Capital took the initiative to challenge. Starting from this album, Fang Xing will no longer evade it. If Pengcheng Capital wants to make money for Tan Zhiguan's new album, then it will face up and fight for the sales of the new album.

……

When Ark Culture announced the release date of the new album, Mailin Records was also surprised.

At first, Xu Shangyan thought that Fang Xing only broke the news two weeks ago that he was going to release a new album. The speed should not be so fast, and it would take two or three months to release it.

It turned out that less than a month after the news came out, the new album came out.

Moreover, the release date of Fang Xing's new album directly coincided with the schedule of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

Xu Shangyan and Tan Zhiguan suddenly felt pressure increased.

As soon as he learned of the release date of Fang Xing's new album, Xu Shangyan called Chen Lipeng and asked for more publicity funds.

The King of Mai Lin released a new album, and the publicity funds must be sufficient.

Other singers in the industry who dare to release albums at the same time are seeking their own death.

Only Fang Xing released a new album, which made Xu Shangyan feel a little threatened.

Moreover, it was obviously Mai Lin Records who first announced the release date of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

Logically speaking, the release date of Fang Xing's new album will be announced later, and the time can be adjusted.

However, Fang Xing still chose to hit the schedule directly.

This move made Xu Shangyan feel even worse.

Normally speaking, in the domestic music scene, who would dare to bump into the schedule with King Mai Lin?

not a single one.

Even the kings and queens of the same class will not bump into the release date of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

Because this kind of competition will only hurt both sides.

Therefore, in Xu Shangyan's original plan, as long as the release date of Tan Zhiguan's new album is announced, the next month will belong to Mai Lin Records. No one dares to release any song during this time period.

However, Fang Xing dared.

Fang Xing chose to confront each other head-on.

what does this mean?
It is hard to say who will win and who will lose, but at least one thing is certain. The date of August 8 reveals a great confidence.

Who would dare to choose this date without self-confidence?
Through the poster, Xu Shangyan felt a great sense of oppression coming towards him.

Therefore, he immediately called Chen Lipeng and asked for additional publicity funds.

In this battle, Maglin Records cannot lose, so no matter how much money is added, it must win this battle.

……

Xu Shangyan wasn't the only one who felt threatened.

Tan Zhiguan's feeling is even clearer, because he has already felt it once in "Singing Out".

Before "Let's Sing", Tan Zhiguan had never been on this kind of variety show.

Because with his strength and status in the music scene, he doesn't need to make money from variety shows.

Every one of his annual concert tours is packed.

His strength and fame have been at their peak, and he doesn't need variety shows to become popular.

That time I went to "Let's Sing" was the operation of Pengcheng Capital.

And Xu Shangyan, as his producer, had already agreed, so it was hard for him to refuse.

In "Let's Sing Out", Tan Zhiguan had heard Fang Xing sing live, and he was very clear about that kind of hard power.

Live listening and edited video are completely different things.

The video edited by the producer will be more or less modified.

However, when Tan Zhiguan listened to Fang Xing's singing live, that kind of stable singing skills did not need tuning at all, and even tuning would damage the singing.

Therefore, no one knows Fang Xing's strength better than him.

On the cover poster of the "Unconvinced" album, the figure with his back turned to him reveals a strong self-confidence.

Once again confronted head-on, Tan Zhiguan felt great pressure.

That night, he took the initiative to call Xu Shangyan and asked to re-record the last two songs.

The last two songs of his new album "The Return of the King" are songs from a Hong Kong [-]th Line band that I bought.

The song itself is not bad, but the music level of this band is relatively average, and the arrangement is not satisfactory.

So after Mailin Records bought these two songs, after Xu Shangyan's modification, arrangement, and re-production, the quality of the songs has improved a lot.

However, due to the release time of the new album is too close, there are still post-production needs.

So when Tan Zhiguan was recording, he didn't pursue perfection so much, he just sang to a similar level.

After all, these two songs were just making up the numbers.

Now it's different, now there's a terrible rival and the pressure is on, so he decided to re-record the last two songs.

Xu Shangyan didn't refuse either, because he also felt that the last two songs were not recorded to the best level.

As for time, it's not a problem.

Because the release of the new album will last for one month, as long as the last two songs are released at the end, there will be more than one month for post-production, which is enough time.

……

at the same time.

Ark Culture Office Building.

The whole company is busy with the release of the boss's new album.

Everyone is so busy that they don't touch the ground. Some people are contacting promotion channels, and some are contacting program promotion.

At ten o'clock this morning, a person came to the Ark Cultural Hall.

The front desk was on the phone, and when they saw someone coming in, they listened to the phone and memorized the phone number, and at the same time asked the person who came in: "Hello, sir, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

This person came to the front desk, glanced at the "Unconvinced" poster on the front desk, and replied, "I'm looking for Fang Xing... your boss."

"Do you have an appointment?" the front desk asked again.

"Yes... I guess there is. He asked me to come to him." The man hesitated a bit.

Because of the busyness of Ark Culture and the enthusiasm before the release of the new album, he felt a great sense of distance.

"What time is the appointment? I'll check it out for you." The receptionist said, moving the mouse to find the appointment item.

"No... I haven't made an appointment yet." The man felt more and more cramped.

The front desk didn't find an appointment about the boss in the computer.

However, she still looked up with a smile on her face and asked the visitor, "What's your name, please? I'll call and ask for you."

"My name is Wang Huajun. In the past..." Wang Huajun gestured with his fingers, but swallowed the words again.

The front desk felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, Mr. Wang, wait a moment, I'll call and ask for you."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the phone, called the assistant to the president, and explained the situation.

The front desk put down the phone, smiled brighter, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. An assistant will come out to pick you up later, please wait a moment."

Hearing this answer, Wang Huajun finally let out a breath.

Two years have passed since "Rising Star", and his limited group contract has also ended.

In the past two years, the jobs he can receive are basically activities such as comic exhibitions and opening ceremonies, which have become so vague that no one knows them.

Therefore, he was ashamed to say that he used to be Fang Xing's teammate.

The front desk didn't recognize him before, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but after two years of suffering, he has seen too many snobbish people, like the front desk of Ark Culture, who keeps smiling all the time, and he has a good attitude.

……

It didn't take long.

An assistant came out quickly, and when he saw Wang Huajun, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Fang Xing's assistant, the boss is not at the company right now, and he is on the set shooting the MV for his new album.

"Do you want to go to the set to meet the boss, or wait in the company?"

Wang Huajun was also not sure, and asked, "When will he come back?"

The assistant shook his head and replied: "It's hard to say, the release date of the boss's new album has already been set, so the MV shooting is a bit rushed, and sometimes it takes midnight."

Wang Huajun had heard that Fang Xing was going to release a new album a few days ago, so he knew that coming here at this time was indeed not a very suitable time.

He thought about it, and replied: "Then I'll go to the set, can I just treat it as a visit to the set?"

"Of course, then I'll arrange a car for you." The assistant called a car as he spoke.

"Then I'll go buy some fruit or something." Wang Huajun thought it would be better to visit the class and buy some fruit.

"I'll just ask the driver to buy it. If you want to choose it yourself, you can ask the driver to stop at a fruit shop on the way. Drivers often do this kind of thing," the assistant said.

"Alright." Wang Huajun felt that the assistant's arrangement of things was very appropriate and he felt very comfortable.

After getting into the car, he was still a little apprehensive.

three months ago.

When he was performing classical dance at a comic exhibition, he met Fang Xing and Lu Xianger.

At that time, the two found a place to chat.

However, at that time, his limited group contract with Chaoyin Culture had not yet ended.

So even if Fang Xing wanted to help him, he couldn't.

At that time, Fang Xing left him a sentence: "Come find me when the contract is over."

Now, his limited group contract has ended, and he took a week's rest before mustering up the courage to come here.
