I am really a language teacher
Chapter 125: The strongest signing
As a veteran singer who has sung love songs for ten years, Zhang Weiran couldn't see the value of the scores in his hand.Only one or two of these songs can support the sales of a platinum album. If Sun Ping really only produces two albums as Sun Ping said, it is almost like going for diamond sales!And it can't be said that these two albums are the pinnacle works of my singing career.
So Zhang Weiran began to struggle. As a singer with ethnic minority blood, Zhang Weiran is actually wild and unruly in his heart, which is why Zhang Weiran has always thought of a rock album.But the song selection of these two albums is so perfect, so perfect that Zhang Weiran is reluctant to give up.Zhang Weiran suddenly felt a "fish and bear's paw" feeling in his heart.
"Actually, you don't need to be so entangled." Sun Ping seemed to see Zhang Weiran's feelings, "I know you have always wanted to be a rock singer, but have you ever considered the reality of the pop music scene? When you were a first-line singer, Fans will pay for any album you release. But once your sales can’t support it, do you think you will have another chance?
You should know that you have been suppressed by Huanyu for so long, how strong is your fan appeal?My suggestion to you is that after signing the contract, we should first make the album "Listening to the Sea".We will follow the habit of Mi Qiguo's record circle, release the album first, and then release the single.In this way, the promotion period of our album can be extended to one year, or even two years.How high do you think the final sales of "Listening to the Sea" will be based on the quality of this record and such a long promotional period?
And along with the promotion period of this album, we plan to do a 'Grateful Ten Years Tour Concert'.With the support of concerts and continuous single promotion, we firmly believe that diamond sales are not a dream.If you could come back with a diamond selling record, what wouldn't you do with your next album?
And the "Can I Hug You?" we left for you is to put it after your first rock album to boost your popularity.Don't say I don't have confidence in your rock album, I guess you don't even have confidence in yourself?So I have to prepare a plan B for your decline in popularity.If you think we are sincere enough, how about signing the contract? "
Zhang Weiran didn't speak, and looked at her manager Ruan Ting.Ruan Ting thought for a while, and asked: "We are very satisfied with the sincerity given by Mr. Sun. But we still have a doubt, that is, what level of singer does Zhang Weiran belong to in your Hurricane Records? Don't blame me for talking too much, after all Your Hurricane Records already has a witch-level singer, An Wei, and f4, a soon-to-be-popular boy group. At the same time, it is also known in the circle that you will follow up with a series of groups such as SJ. A record company has many singers, and resources are limited. Scattered. Therefore, I must confirm the status of our family Zhang Weiran."
"First, Zhang Weiran is absolutely treated as an S-level singer of Hurricane Records. Unless you can help me sign Wang Xialin, the female singer is her 'first sister'. Second, Zhang Weiran can set up his own music studio and Decide the style and positioning of the record. But I have a request, we must be the producer of Zhang Weiran Records. Especially after the uncontrollable sales decline of Zhang Weiran Records, the initiative of the next record must belong to us.” Sun Ping said, "You also know that we, Hurricane Culture, are not a charity and we must be responsible for our profits."
"No problem. Of course, a commercial company must be responsible for business. I appreciate your honesty." Ruan Ting and Zhang Weiran exchanged opinions and replied, "We have no problem. I will let the lawyer communicate with your legal affairs for details. of."
"That's good, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!" Sun Ping got up and said goodbye.
After leaving Zhang Weiran's room, Sun Ping called Zhou Haoxin, "Fortunately, let's arrange a lawyer to follow up."
"Brother Sun, I knew you were omnipotent!" Zhou Haoxin said in surprise.
Don't look at Zhang Weiran being suppressed miserably by Huanyu Music, but no one can guarantee whether this queen can make a comeback.And for a company like Hurricane Records, being able to sign Zhang Weiran is a victory.Zhou Haoxin's idea is very simple, just leave a reputation in the industry as "a horse's bone is bought with a lot of money".However, Zhang Weiran and Sun Ping have more ideas than that. Zhang Weiran and Sun Ping still hope to reproduce the scene of the queen of the year.
"By the way, I've already arrived in Mingzhu City, and I'll talk to New Asia TV about the finalization of "Meteor Garden" tomorrow. By the way, I'm watching the show we produced, and I didn't expect the final broadcast to be so good! Tsk tsk, even Zhou Tianwang wants to come to our show to play songs. Brother Sun, your show is really amazing! Do you think it is possible that our two shows "F4's Secret Kitchen" and "Hurricane Base Camp" will also be wanted by them? Walk?"
"It's not very likely." Sun Ping dispelled Zhou Haoxin's fantasy, "It is still possible for "F4's Secret Kitchen" to be broadcast in late night or midnight, but the possibility of "Hurricane Base Camp" is zero. Our goal is to Just persuade New Asia TV to receive "F4's Secret Kitchen", and you can find the rest of "Hurricane Base Camp" to receive from the cable channels of New Asia or other broadcasting companies. We have no requirements for the broadcast time of "Hurricane Base Camp" , but hope to rerun it at least twice a week."
"I understand what you mean. It seems that we still don't have the ability to demand too much from the media giants." Zhou Haoxin sighed rather unfairly.
However, if Zhou Haoxin's complaint is made known to other production companies, it may lead to gang fights.As a new production company, Hurricane Culture is really "famous" in the TV production circle.A "Next Generation Idol Selection Project" abruptly hit a prime spot in the summer. Even if this talent show was rebroadcasted by New Asia TV's entertainment sub-channel, it still had good ratings.
Moreover, the music program broadcast on both New Asia TV and New Asia Entertainment Channel has become the most appealing music program in China.This program not only revived the terrestrial TV network's plan to produce music programs, but also caused headaches for the three major music channels.
What's more, in addition to "Meteor Garden", New Asia TV and Hurricane Culture have a supplementary agreement. As long as the average ratings of "Meteor Garden" exceed 20%, they will sign Hurricane Culture's "Peach Girl", "Orange Jam" The Boy" and "The Poor Prince" and other three idol dramas.Someone has already calculated an account. With these income alone, Hurricane Culture has firmly become the leader of domestic second-tier production companies.
"By the way, you can help me search in the south to see if there is any comic company that can be acquired. It is best to have enough painters and editors, and the channels are relatively complete. Of course, it would be better if it had its own animation department." Sun Ping suddenly remembered something.
"Comic company? Why do you want this? Does anyone still read comics these days?" Zhou Haoxin was puzzled, "As far as I know, except for the comic companies under Times and the He Brothers because they are backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, The rest of the comics clubs are doing badly. Moreover, the He Brothers’ comics club has been criticized for publishing adult-oriented comics magazines. In addition, only Mengquan Club is still alive and well, but they mainly focus on the female market. You also You know, now [-]% of the sales of physical magazines are purchased by women, so the market with girls can still survive. Even the domestic comics ancestor magazine-Kilin Club can’t make ends meet.”
Under Zhou Haoxin's suggestion, Sun Ping found a third-party research company and asked for a comprehensive analysis report on the performance of the domestic cartoon industry and the animation industry and the annual analysis report for the past five years.Regardless of the impression that the domestic comics industry in Zhendan is very sluggish, there are still more than a hundred large and small comic agencies in China.Thinking about it, in Cathay, a country with very strict copyright control, as long as you have a work that can sell, it is not difficult to nourish a comic agency.What's more, there are many comic clubs that are micro-comic clubs composed of three or five artists, and their cost is even lower.
The first successful comic club in Aurora Kingdom is Qilin Club, which launched the first professional comic magazine in Aurora China - "Weekly Comics" 30 years ago.With their adaptation of martial arts and historical themes, they just catered to the popular martial arts novels and historical dramas at that time, so the average sales volume of "Weekly Comics" that year was 200 copies, and at its peak it reached 800 million copies, which can be called "the golden three years of comics".
But soon, with the big sales of comic magazines, major publishing houses entered this industry one after another, so the industry suddenly became mixed with good and bad.Except for "Weekly Comics" which maintained an average sales volume of 100 million copies with its time-honored name, among the successful magazines in this period, only Time Culture, He Brothers and Mengquanshe were able to achieve this sales volume.
In this era of "Silver Five Years in Manga", there was a division of labor between boys and girls in manga.Times Culture has become the leader of juvenile-oriented comics with "Weekly Boys", and they have successfully removed themes such as sports, urban legends and detectives; while Mengquanshe has become the banner bearer of girls' comics with "Monthly Flower Rain Dream", and at the same time They also dug out fringe themes and released the bl-oriented "Monthly Rose" and the gl-oriented "Monthly Lily"; Become a magazine for adults.
However, with the passing of this craze, about [-]% of the comic agencies now make a living by producing various adult comics, and the remaining [-]% still rely on the adaptation of comics to maintain the profits of the comic agencies.And the most embarrassing thing is that, as the first comic agency in China, Qilin Club has been losing money for ten consecutive years. If it is not supported by a large number of copyright works, the bank may have already demanded payment.
On Monday, Sun Ping walked into his lounge with a copy of "Entertainment Weekly".This plane also has weekly gossip magazines, as well as paparazzi.And "Entertainment Weekly" can be regarded as a conscientious and upright gossip magazine. The gossip they report is basically based on evidence, and they rarely join forces with artists to stir up gossip.Moreover, Sun Ping also knew that this magazine had a very famous "focus group", and any artist who was targeted by this focus group would basically be ruined.
Sun Ping flipped through "Entertainment Weekly" before class, and suddenly he was choked by a piece of news, "According to the exclusive news of this magazine, Zhang Weiran, a singer who has been refrigerated by Universal Music for a long time, has asked the company to terminate his contract, and he is about to The company that signed the contract is unexpectedly Hurricane Records, which is unknown in China. Regarding Zhang Weiran's termination of the contract, please pay attention to the special topic of this magazine next week."
Sun Ping's head suddenly became dizzy. With this group of unruly paparazzi involved, the signing event might become lively.However, Sun Ping thought about it and called a few people to explain the situation and possible solutions.
So Zhang Weiran began to struggle. As a singer with ethnic minority blood, Zhang Weiran is actually wild and unruly in his heart, which is why Zhang Weiran has always thought of a rock album.But the song selection of these two albums is so perfect, so perfect that Zhang Weiran is reluctant to give up.Zhang Weiran suddenly felt a "fish and bear's paw" feeling in his heart.
