China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 420: A Good Start and World War II Grammy

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Entries such as #天正锵rose#, #金海信soproud#, #武彤好春光#, #蛛清强狠雪# have been on the hot search list.

The ratings for the first episode of "Singer" averaged 1.78%, and the peak ratings broke 2.15, reaching a maximum of %.

Famous overnight!

When the ratings exploded, the staff behind Canxing Culture also breathed a sigh of relief. The preparations for "Singer" were far more tiring than "Running Man" and "The Voice."

Just coordinating the management company behind the singer is a headache.

Song selection, arrangement, rehearsals, live competitions, etc., each one is a challenge. Although "Singer" is recorded and broadcast, the program focuses on the concept of "singer".

Unless there is a major accident, even if there are any flaws during the recording, it cannot be re-recorded.

At most, the sound will be revised later.

If it is a mistake that cannot be repaired, the singer will be embarrassed all over China. It is precisely because of this rule that many singers are unwilling to participate in the "Singer" competition.

Of course, since it is a variety show, there is more or less a "script".

For example, in the first episode of the program, the program team arranged a warm-up scene called "Crying Sister", but the shots that were finally selected were not commissioned by the program team.

She was a woman in her early thirties. When Tian Zhen sang "Wind, Rain, Rainbow, Sonorous Rose," the audition audience burst into tears.

Real crying and fake crying have completely different contagiousness.

After the show was broadcast, 'Crying Sister' also became popular on the Internet.

The troublemaker analyzed it as if it was true. Is this person really crying, or is he just being asked to do so by the program team?

In the end, no one could convince anyone. Opponents and supporters fought for thousands of times, but in the end they couldn't come up with a winner.

……

Taipei.

After receiving the news from the company, Lu Yuan felt a little relieved. Compared with the previous "Singer" program, the Canxing Culture version lacked the cooperation of the Bangzi team.

But the post-production team of "Singer" is not unknown.

The lighting engineer and stage designer of "Singer" are basically from the team behind the "On the Road" tour.

The main lighting engineer and stage design team of the [On the Road] tour include both the 08 Olympic team and America's top stage design team.

Really top luxury lineup!

When it comes to results and ability, it’s a stick.

Not only the stage lighting effects, South Korea’s K-POP was also suppressed by Lu Yuan alone.

The influence of Hallyu in the country is also much lower than in its previous life.

Han Geng, the 'top-notch' Han Geng who returned to China in the first generation, doesn't know how far behind his current development is compared to his previous life.

no way.

Han made his debut in 07 and joined SJ-M in October 07, officially starting his business in the Chinese music scene.

What was the situation like in the domestic music scene at that time?

Lu Yuanyi fought against JJ Lin, Wang Lihong, Zhang Zhenyue and other Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan's era came.

Why did Han Geng and Gui Guo Si become the top players?

Mostly because they have made a name for themselves abroad. Strictly speaking, whether it is Han Geng's SJ-M or the returning four sons' EXO-M, they are all teams specifically targeting the Chinese market.

SM companies should not be too sophisticated.

The home team harvests Asian markets such as Japan and South Korea, and also attacks Europe and the United States.

The team specializes in harvesting the Chinese market, and many fans can’t figure out the difference anyway.

In fact, the team names of SJ-M and EXO-M already explain everything.

Both teams carry the letter 'M', which is the abbreviation of the English word 'Mandarin', which literally means 'Mandarin' or 'Mandarin'.

SM's strategy is to use the fame of the main team EXO and Super-Junior to drive the sub-units, and then use the Chinese faces of the sub-units to harvest the Chinese market.

In this way, it can not only expand the influence of Hallyu through Chinese faces, but also feed back the stick members in the team.

One fish eats many.

Later, Hollywood blockbusters used Chinese actors and allowed Chinese actors to appear for a few minutes to please and harvest the Chinese market.

The moves of both sides are exactly the same.

Earlier, the Premier League giant Manchester United introduced Dong Fangzhuo, which was also a routine.

The clothing industry also has a similar routine, and the professional term is "export to domestic sales".

Don’t be afraid of old tricks, just be easy to use.

However, SM Entertainment suffered a heavy loss from the SJ-M team.

After bumping into Lu Yuan, who was at the height of his power, the SJ-M team caused some heat, but the effect was far lower than expected.

Han Geng left the group, on the one hand because SM was not a good person and exploited artists to the extreme, and on the other hand it was also because SJ-M couldn't get up.

Without the original popularity, Han Geng was treated differently after returning to China.

In his previous life, Han Geng's return to China caused an uproar in the domestic entertainment industry. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he shocked the domestic entertainment industry. All the major agencies lined up to let him choose.

In the end, he chose Du Hua.

The reason for choosing Du Hua is also very simple. At that time, Du Hua, who had just started his business, did not have strong bargaining power and could provide Han Geng with some conditions that others could not provide.

And now, Han Geng finally fell into the hands of Long Danni.

Being an artist honestly blocks the way to become a capital.

But SM Entertainment has not given up on the Chinese market.

After all, China has more than one billion people and the market is too vast. Even if the results are lower than expected, SM is reluctant to give up.

This is not.

[On the Road] When the Bangzi tour stop was announced, Lee Soo Man contacted Lu Yuan and prepared to go through the journey of being a backup dancer again.

Female backup dancers are still in the thigh era, and the male backup dancers team is a trainee team under SM.

Lu Yuan looked at the list of backup dancers.

The names of Fanfan, Lu Han, and Zhang Yixing were clearly listed.

There is no need to refuse cooperation like this.

SM is one of the biggest entertainment companies in Bangzi, so we should still give it the face it deserves.

2 month 8 number.

The ratings for the finale of "Why Shengxiao Silent" are released.

The peak ratings of the twenty-eighth episode were 2.01%, barely breaking . This rating can be regarded as a win.

However, if we only calculate the average, the average ratings of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" are only 1.87%, which is not as good as the 2.44% of "Shanshan Is Coming".

Although the average ratings did not break two, both Lu Yuan and Da Tiantian were satisfied with this result.

At least it's broken.

Comparing last year's data, "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" ranks among the top ten satellite TV dramas of the year, which should not be a big problem.

same day.

Lu Tianwang flew in a private plane and airborne Little Bangzi.

When they met again, Li Xiuman's attitude was a little more humble. This time's humility was different from last time.

Last time, there was more or less an element of acting, and it was limited to Lu Yuan's achievements in Europe and the United States, and he wanted to ride on the same trend.

This time, in addition to singers and actors, the identity of entrepreneurs is more important.

SM has been committed to entering the mainland market and naturally understands the situation in mainland China.

The rise of the Star System is much faster than the rise of SM.

To compare the two sides, one side is a red Ferrari, and the other side is a classic car from the 1970s and 1980s.

Envy separates hostage walls.

"Mr. Lu, welcome to Die Ming Min Gu." "Mr. Li, long time no see."

The two parties exchanged a few words and then boarded the SM company's minibus.

The reason why it was a CMB was because Lu Yuan’s team had a large number of people, including photographers, assistants, security teams, etc. There were about ten people in the group.

Just enough to fill up the private jet.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan went directly to SM's practice room.

"Aniaceyo!"

Seeing those rows of long legs, Lu Yuan's heart did not waver. Last night, Mina sneaked into Wanwan and squeezed him dry.

Currently he is sage time.

He even suspected that Mina came here on purpose.

After all, from February to May, he was basically active overseas.

While Lu Yuan was communicating with Tashijidai, Fanfan not far away showed a bit of envy in his eyes.

If the timeline is stretched out, Lu Yuan's rise can definitely be said to have influenced a generation.

Including Korean Wave.

In the Bangzi music world, electronic music is vigorously promoted, and the attitude is more than ten times more enthusiastic than before. There are countless electronic music tracks produced every day.

Especially for dance music, many dance songs are written after the rhythm of Lu Yuan's English hit singles.

Songs such as "wake", "so far away", "wake me up", "faded", "the nights", etc. were almost ruined by those producers.

A large number of musicians have emerged, and of course music tailors are among them.

Plagiarism exists everywhere.

Skilled plagiarists are all good tailors, cutting off a section from the east and taking a section from the west.

You shoot in 4/4, I shoot in 3/8, or something else.

As for the song structure, if you say [Intro - Verse... - Ending], then I will change it and change two rhythms.

People like Cai Xianya in "Red High Heels" and "The Tamed Elephant" and Tailor Li in "Sorrow of Leaving People" are just low-level tailors.

The real high-level plagiarism is that you know that he is plagiarizing, the creator himself also knows that he is plagiarizing, and the fans also know that he is plagiarizing.

But legally, he is not plagiarizing.

The song "Quan Yu Tianxia" that became popular on Station B for a certain period of time is a similar example.

Legally speaking, this does not constitute plagiarism. In fact, the composer himself knows very well whether he has plagiarized or not.

Phoenix Legend's "Above the Moon" (released in 05) and Blue Group's "All Rise" (released in 01) are also highly similar.

(PS: Legends are not songwriters, they are just singers. The composer is someone else. If you are interested, you can do it yourself)

Tao Ji's "Shuan Ji ruthless" written for Pheasant is also suspected of borrowing from "All Rise".

Tao Tianwang's "Love Is Simple" has a climax that pays homage to "I Miss U".

Not long ago, South Korea's popular song "Kiss Kiss" adapted part of the syllables of "Wake", and the overall trend is similar.

But legally speaking, it does not constitute plagiarism.

However, the singer who sang "Kiss Me" was sprayed with blood by Lu Yuan's fans.

For specific circumstances, please refer to Tailor Li’s treatment when he was reprimanded.

The whole internet was chasing after him and scolding him.

However, it is impossible to admit the criticism. People also have excuses. If you say I plagiarized, you can sue me.

If you win the lawsuit, you should pay compensation and apologize.

Can't win?

Then he is not plagiarizing!

Anyway, he knew Universal was definitely not going to win.

Neither Lu Yuan nor Universal Music Group has a particularly good solution for this kind of scoundrel.

However, even if you know you can’t win the lawsuit, you still have to fight it instead.

Lu Yuan didn't care at all whether the cost of safeguarding rights was high.

The copyright fees for "Lucas LU" and "On the Way" are lenient. Programs such as "America Idol", "The Voice of America" ​​and "Eagle Country Idol" pay a large amount of copyright fees every year.

Commercial copyrights are also selling like crazy.

We can afford to fight a mere rights protection lawsuit for ten to eight years.

"senior!"

After saying hello to Girls' Generation, male trainees from SM came forward one after another.

"Hello you all."

Lu Yuan smiled and greeted them. When he glanced at them, he only recognized Lu Han, Fanfan, and Zhang Yixing.

Sorry, I don't know the others.

Although he knew the three of them, Lu Yuan didn't have any special care. It was just an idol-fan relationship.

To be fair, it's really not easy to make your debut in a foreign country.

After a round of rehearsals, Lu Yuan said hello to Li Xiuman before leaving, and wanted to show a little more care to the two Chinese people.

As for Fanfan?

Mr. Jia Ma, what does it have to do with the Chinese?

After sending Lu Yuan back to the hotel, Li Xiuman returned to SM Company and silently kicked Fanfan out of the list of backup dancers.

When he learned that he had been kicked out of the performance list, Fanfan was visibly shocked.

Got kicked?

This performance is not only about the performance, but also the opportunity to debut.

Has he been abandoned by the company?

After announcing the disbandment, Li Xiuman found Fanfan privately and comforted him a little.

Although I don’t know why Lu Yuan doesn’t want to see Fanfan, within SM, Fanfan is considered a little treasure.

A born idol, Li Xiuman couldn't hide from Fanfan just because of Lu Yuan's words.

Unless Lu Yuan brings Girls' Generation with him on his European tour.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan did not agree.

nonsense!

Can Lu Yuan agree?

With such a group of female fairies around, wouldn't the backyard explode automatically?

After being slapped by Li Xiuman, Fanfan instantly became more motivated, but at the same time, there was another Lu Hei in the world.

The kind of little black guy who is so dark.

Why?

We are all Chinese, why should we be treated differently?

He doesn't agree!

That night, Fanfan secretly made up his mind to be more popular than Lu Yuan, and then, he would step on him hard!

Today you are indifferent to me, but tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to reach high!

If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!

In the next two days, Lu Yuan conducted several rehearsals with TAG Times and trainees. On February 2, there was a huge crowd outside Jamsil Stadium.

Still the same as in Taipei and Xiangjiang stations, Lu Yuan performed the entire concert on the first day alone.

The next day, there were two supporting guests.

One is from Girls' Generation, and the other is Xiaobangzi's national treasure singer Lee Seung-cheol. Many people may not be familiar with this name.

But when it comes to "If" by Shin Band, most of them should be more familiar with it.

The original song of "If" is Lee Seung-cheol's "God's Jealousy". Like Pan Shuai, Shin Band is also a pioneer in the Chineseization of Korean Wave.

Also on this day, the 53rd Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Because of the concert, Lu Yuan was absent from the awards ceremony.

However, Grammy officials sent a live connection team over. If you win the award, there will be a live connection session.

Due to the time difference, the specific connection time is expected to be around noon tomorrow.
