Chapter 261 260. Recording and uploading songs, a competition between musicians!
Xiangnan is Han Qing’s home court.
Han Qing made an appointment for Jiang Chen at the recording studio in advance. After breakfast, Jiang Chen took a walk for a while, and then they set off to the recording studio to record songs.
The live broadcast was of course closed accordingly.
When the broadcast was released, the number of people online exceeded 31 million.
It was definitely a miracle that so many people were able to watch the live broadcast so early in the morning.
A few people went to the recording studio to record songs, and met Zhou Ming, Yuan Caiyi, Chen Xun, and Luo Sheng, who were also recording songs in the same recording studio, along with several top domestic musicians.
Jiang Chen casually said hello to a few people and went to busy recording his own songs.
Looking at Jiang Chen and his group recording songs, Luo Sheng, Zhou Ming and others all had complicated expressions.
One of the top music producers, named Li Youjun, looked at the backs of Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and others as they left, and said softly: "You have a lot of airs, traveling with so many beauties..."< br>
In Li Youjun's view, Jiang Chen was a bit of a big deal.
Although, Jiang Chen has achieved high results in the fields of calligraphy, poetry and music.
However, these people are not bad, and they are also top-notch people in the pop music circle.
Whoever comes to see them should not say hello and chat for a while, and should not lower their attitude?
It’s not like Jiang Chen, who just said hello and left. He only said hello to Luo Sheng and Zhou Ming, whom he knew, and ignored the strangers.
Zheng Shuang, another top music creator, also frowned slightly: "It's normal for young people to have such achievements. I heard someone said that his three live broadcasts yesterday earned a total income of more than 2 billion. I don't know if that's true. Really!”
After hearing this number, several people pondered, obviously they had heard these rumors.
After all, such an astonishing number will definitely spread quickly.
Luo Sheng smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's true! I talked with Director Guo, and Director Guo has inside information. Yesterday, Jiang Chen's live broadcast income did exceed 2 billion!"
" That’s why his performance fee is so exaggerated!”
After listening to Luo Sheng's words, several people had no doubts.
As the godfather of popular music, Luo Sheng would not help Jiang Chen lie.
Li Youjun's eyes widened slightly: "That's really incredible, earning two billion a day! I have never earned one billion in my life!"
As a top musician of the older generation One of the producers, Li Youjun, helped many top kings and queens produce many extremely successful hit albums, so Based on the copyright dividends from participating in these hit albums, plus other income, his total income in this life has reached hundreds of millions. There are also various subsequent copyright dividends that will continue to flow, and he can earn a stable number of millions every year. The income is already considered to be the ceiling among the people working behind the scenes of pop music, and it is more than Luo Sheng earns.
Today, several of their top musicians were invited by Luo Sheng and Chen Xun, who wanted to work together to produce or adapt works for the next Singer Contest program.
A trace of envy flashed in Zheng's eyes, and then he said: "So, Jiang Chen's appearance fee for a performance in the King of Singers Competition is as high as hundreds of millions, is it true?"
Luo Sheng nodded: "Yes. Really!”
This is also not a secret in the industry, and anyone with a little knowledge can find out.
Zheng Shuang and Li Youjun heard this figure and news before, and they were all a little dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's high performance fee. They felt that it was too exaggerated and the gap between the performance fees of other top singers was too big. The difference is almost ten times.
But...
When I think about it, Jiang Chen earns hundreds of millions from one live broadcast, and more than 2 billion from three live broadcasts a day!
In comparison, Jiang Chen only charges 100 million for one performance, which is already a disadvantage.
Chen Xun said with a smile: "Teachers, let's work together. Do you have the confidence to beat Jiang Chen in the next program? Jiang Chen has always been famous for his original works since his debut. He has never sang other people's songs. Song, just sing your own songs, every original song is an excellent work.”
"This time, we have joined forces with several teachers. We are now the top group in the Chinese music scene. We can definitely surpass Jiang Chen."
Several people listened to Chen Xun's words , a trace of expectation and fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, as well as a trace of fire!
If the work they produced surpassed Jiang Chen on the stage, what would Jiang Chen's expression be like then?
Now Jiang Chen is almost synonymous with excellent original music.
Many big-name singers have offered sky-high prices to buy original and good songs from Jiang Chen. The price of a song has reached an exaggerated price of more than five million.
This is definitely the highest price ever paid for a new song.
Usually a new song by the original creator can be sold for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, which is a high price. A relatively well-known creator's work is considered successful if it can sell for tens of thousands of yuan, and excellent ones may sell for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Only well-known music creators can sell their works for hundreds of thousands, and they are also eligible for copyright dividends, but the dividends are generally very low.
The price of a work created by top musicians such as Luo Sheng, Zheng Shuang, and Li Youjun can exceed one million, and the copyright share ratio is not low. Even so, only top singers can Only capable new singers who are qualified to collaborate with them, or who are introduced by acquaintances, may collaborate with them.
For ordinary singers, even if they contribute money, it is difficult to get their recognition and it is difficult to have cooperation opportunities.
For example, the top young singers who have become popular in recent years have become so popular and their fans are so crazy. The release of each work will cause fans to buy and download frantically. However, no top musicians would cooperate with them. Even if these top young talents were not short of money and the prices offered were very high, they chose to refuse.
Because they know that these top-notch young talents will only bury their works, and cooperating with these young talents will lower their grade.
This time, if it weren't for Luo Sheng's personal intervention, and there were three powerful singers at the level of kings and queens, they wouldn't have come together, or only one would come instead of all together.
Of course, they actually wanted to come over and meet Jiang Chen.
They all highly recognized the works Jiang Chen had created over the past month, and even felt a little envious of them deep down in their hearts.
The number of works they have created or participated in in the creation of works in their lifetime must far exceed the works Jiang Chen has released in more than a month. However, in terms of the number of popular and excellent works, the sum of them may not be as good as Jiang Chen’s. Chen.
In their lifetime, each of them has more than a dozen classics known to everyone, which means they are very successful. This is one of the reasons why they are called top musicians.
After all, fame comes from real achievements.
Zheng Shuang looked at the place where Jiang Chen disappeared and knew that Jiang Chen had gone in to record songs. He said in a somewhat envious tone: "Jiang Chen can have 50 to 60 million download sales for every song. There is no discount at all. I also listened to the two songs he sang yesterday, and they were both hits. "
Luo Sheng said softly: "He was so embarrassed on the stage the day before yesterday, and in one and a half days, the number of downloads has exceeded 70 million! Penguin Music accounts for most of its download sales, I heard. Le executives have held several meetings for Jiang Chen to discuss how to tie Jiang Chen to the Penguin Music platform."
Yuan Caiyi asked curiously: "Didn't Jiang Chen sign a contract with Penguin Music?"
Luo Sheng shook his head: "As far as I know, no! Jiang Chen releases his works on Penguin Music as a free and independent singer without any exclusive contract agreement. Therefore, Jiang Chen’s share is the lowest common agreement. Jiang Chen can leave the platform at any time and will take everything with him. works.”
"Once he really leaves, it will have a huge impact on Penguin Music, the largest music download platform. Whichever platform he joins will be qualified to threaten Penguin Music! Now the other two ambitious platforms have I'm just about to make a move, I'm thinking of ways to contact Jiang Chen, and I want to poach Jiang Chen away. , the contract and conditions given are very good!"
"The problem now is that Jiang Chen has not joined a formal brokerage company, only a less professional broker Han Qing. Han Qing also has the same attitude as a Buddhist, so she treats these business matters I haven’t even bothered with it.”
“All domestic advertisers, TV stations, program groups, as well as many music platforms, entertainment companies, etc., have contacted Jiang Chen through various channels, but there has been no contact. Go up. Jiang Chen doesn't read all kinds of information, but Han Qing is also very good-looking, even during the Spring Festival Gala. The project team has not spoken to Jiang Chen yet.”
“Penguin Music is also contacting Jiang Chen, but they haven’t contacted him yet. It is estimated that they will find the project team in the next few days. After all, everyone knows Jiang Chen. Chen is here with us!”
After hearing Luo Sheng’s words, several people were a little shocked. Even though they are all top musicians, they occasionally claim to be artists. Chen Xun, Yuan Caiyi, and Zhou Ming are also kings and queens of singers. They usually call themselves professional singers and do not join the same trend as those popular artists.
But...
The main purpose of their development in the entertainment industry is to make money.
Whether you are a musician or a singer, the main purpose of your professional behavior is to make money.
They try their best to appear on various programs, learn various professional and professional knowledge, and find ways to improve themselves, all in order to produce better works, perform better, and earn more money.
But...
Jiang Chen turned away a lot of money that came to his door, and he didn't even bother to deal with it!
There were so many big-name advertisers, but Jiang Chen didn’t accept any of them.
There were so many sincere invitations from TV stations and program crews, but Jiang Chen also didn’t see any of them.
Jiang Chen has never come into contact with any of the many other entertainment companies, sky-high invitations from various platforms, etc.
If these were placed on them or other celebrities, they would have made money in various ways. They have some integrity and will select some, and selectively accept cooperation with some reputations while ensuring their own reputation.
Some celebrities and artists are willing to accept anyone who comes to make money. As long as they are given money, they will accept any advertisement, appear on any program, and say anything.
However, Jiang Chen is the only one who can ignore so many benefits coming to his door and close the door without seeing any of them.
The annual loss of profits is at least hundreds of millions.
This is a huge income for any top celebrity artist.
None of them could say no.
However, they were relieved when they thought that Jiang Chen earned hundreds of millions from a live broadcast and sold a painting of 2.5 billion.
If they had Jiang Chen's strength and ability, as well as the ability to make money, they might be like Jiang Chen, with money like dirt.
Seeing the silence of several people, Luo Sheng knew what they were thinking and continued: "The highest ratings of the last episode of the program were over five points, and more than 10 million people watched the live broadcast online! Compared with before There are a lot more. The next issue will definitely not be bad. This is an opportunity for us.”
"Nowadays, many celebrities in the industry are trying their best to ride on the popularity of the King of Songs Contest. They are trying every possible way to show their faces on stage, even if they are to serve as a host and say a few words. But they were all rejected by Director Guo. The director is too lazy to deal with these things now, so he rejects them all.”
Musicians Li Youjun and Zheng Shuang were all excited after hearing this.
Indeed, this is their chance.
If they produce a work that surpasses Jiang Chen's on this stage, they will definitely become famous and everyone will reap huge benefits.
Li Youjun asked in a low voice: "Do you know what type of music Jiang Chen will perform in the next episode?"
He wanted to inquire about Jiang Chen's situation and then make targeted music production .
It's a pity...
Luo Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, Jiang Chen didn't say that at all. He said he would rest for three days and then prepare for the show in the next three days, which is different from us!"
They started preparing right after the show ended, and they started yesterday.
But Jiang Chen rested in the hotel yesterday and didn't go out at all.
I went out today to record the songs I sang in the live broadcast room. After recording, I have to go out to play.
The busy preparations like theirs are obviously not on the same page.
While they were chatting.
The door to the recording studio over there suddenly opened!
Han Qing and Yan Ruyu walked out first.
Then Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi, and Chen Xiaojia walked out.
Li Youjun and Zheng Shuang were stunned when they saw it, and their hearts were full of doubts.
“Aren’t they recording songs? Why are they leaving?”
Zheng Shuang asked in a low voice.
Luo Sheng smiled bitterly and whispered: "It may have been recorded!"
Zheng Shuang and Li Youjun looked at the time on their phones at the same time.
They had only been chatting here for about ten minutes.
Jiang Chen just finished recording two songs?
How is this possible?
Is it just a shoddy product that can be dealt with casually?
Chen Xun took the initiative to greet Jiang Chen who came over: "Hi, Jiang Chen, are you done?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, nodded to a few people, and then answered Chen Xun: "Well, the two songs have been recorded, what about you?"
Chen Xun smiled calmly: "We are not as good as you, we haven't started yet. I'm still discussing. I'm not as good as you. Going out to play today?"
Jiang Chen: "Well, let's go out for a walk and relax."
Chen Xun smiled: "Have fun."
As a fan of Jiang Chen, Yuan Caiyi waved and smiled Said: "Jiang Chen, have fun, goodbye!"
Zhou Ming and Luo Sheng also waved goodbye to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen waved to a few people, and Han Qing and Yan Ruyu behind him also waved goodbye to a few people politely, and then left quickly.
Yuan Caiyi took out her mobile phone and logged into Penguin Music, found Jiang Chen whom she was following, and found that Jiang Chen had just uploaded two new songs, which were exactly the two songs he sang in the live broadcast room yesterday, newboy, and I are the same Just a little bird, she immediately clicked on the paid download and said in a complicated tone: "The recording is really finished, it has been uploaded, I have downloaded it!"
After hearing this, several people looked at each other with more complicated expressions. He looked towards the direction Jiang Chen left.
