In the past two days, Wang Lihong received another special performance invitation - to be a guest at Kudo Shizuka's chamber concert.
Xu Xiangjie was naturally very happy after receiving this invitation, but he decided to report the situation to Zhou Yan, and also asked if this matter had anything to do with Zhou Yan.
In fact, Zhou Yan only learned about this after receiving a call from Xu Xiangjie. Kudo Shizuka had not told him about this beforehand.
"If you think participating in this program will help Hong's development after evaluation, then take it. If it doesn't help, don't take it. This matter was not caused by me." Zhou Yan said.
Xu Xiangjie smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I agree. Kudo Shizuka is very popular in Neon now. If she can be a guest at her concert, it will be very good for the opposition Hong to enter the Neon Market. Help. Of course, even without this concert, Li Hong has accumulated some popularity in Neon because of "howlongwilliloveyou". "
In fact, Xu Xiangjie had been planning before this to allow Wang Lihong to develop a neon market.
Neon is an East Asian country and is part of the Chinese cultural circle. Compared with Europe and the United States, it is more acceptable to Wang Lihong and is more convenient to develop.
Now that "howlongwilliloveyou" is so popular in Neon, it would be a pity not to take this opportunity to develop Neon.
"Well, you can just decide on this matter. Oki Production has a good relationship with our studio. You shouldn't have any major problems when you cooperate. By the way, when will Kudo Shizuka's concert be? ”
"April 8."
"Oh, that's almost."
"Yes, there are only less than two weeks left, and it's still in a hurry. Fortunately, Li Hong had signed nothing in those two days. The job I made an appointment."
There were some small jobs in those days. I had talked about them before, but I was not completely sure. Now, because of Kudo Shizuka's concert, I naturally have to be rejected.
Not to mention that it is not certain, even if there is certainty, even if there is a penalty, you have to attend the event.
Zhou Yan heard Xu Xiangjie's meaning and the activities arranged for Wang Lihong were quite full, so he said, "The work arranged for Lihong should not be too full. He is too young now and needs some time to rest and study. Progress. The so-called relaxation and relaxation are the way of civil and military affairs. If he blindly arranges work for him and puts him into endless work, his future development will definitely be limited."
"Boss, don't worry, I've been busy with work during this period, and the work density in the next two months has dropped. In fact, there are many jobs coming to us, and I have directly turned them off, such as some company activities and wedding performances. I didn't ask a word and turned it off. Two days ago, a wedding planning company came to us and said that she hoped to invite Li Hong to sing a song on the spot. It is said that the groom is a very rich businessman and is willing to give 150,000 US dollars. I still don’t agree to the appearance fee.”
Xu Xiangjie mentioned this example to tell Zhou Yan that he did not exploit Wang Lihong for money.
This is true. Although ordinary wedding performances cannot give much money, there are always a few rich people who are willing to pay a lot of money.
The 150,000 USD appearance fee is enough to attract most singers. After all, this is just a song, and basically no rehearsal is needed. It takes very little time, which is an easy job with less work and more money. .
The reason why some people are willing to pay so much money to invite Wang Lihong is naturally because "howlongwilliloveyou" is really suitable for live wedding singing.
If it were other singers with higher fame, they might not be able to get such a high appearance fee.
Zhou Yan was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Wang Lihong's appearance fee for the wedding could reach 150,000 US dollars. Ordinary second-tier singers cannot get such appearance fee, and the appearance fee for the new singer may not be there. Five digits.
It seems that the bonus of this song to Wang Lihong at the wedding is very considerable.
Of course, in addition to the nature of the song, it is also related to Wang Lihong's recent popularity. Generally, singers are very popular enough for a certain period of time, and their appearance fees will also increase. When the popularity continues, they will appear after a while. The fee will be reduced.
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Actually, you can try to pick up weddings."
"Ah?" Xu Xiangjie was stunned on the other end of the phone.
From his understanding of Zhou Yan, he should not let Wang Lihong take on such an event. Why is he actually let Wang Lihong take on it now?
He really couldn't figure out what other benefits Wang Lihong would have in addition to making money when taking wedding performances.
Zhou Yan told him more than once that you don’t have to care about temporary gains, but depends on long-term development.
When making development plans for the company's contracted artists, they must also have a long-term vision and cannot covet immediate interests.
Hearing the surprise in Xu Xiangjie's tone, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Isn't the MV of this song not recorded?"
"Well, it has not been recorded yet."
Xu Xiangjie couldn't figure it out, Zhou Yan Why did we mention mv again? What does the relationship between these two?
The reason why they did not record MV for this song is because they planned to cut out the clips from the movie "Time and Space Love Traveler" to make a version of MV, which can save money and have good results.
"Since that's the case, you can record an MV by going to the wedding performance."
Xu Xiangjie thought for a while and asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about this kind of mv?"
He felt that such mv was not as good as cut out with movie clips. "It's not a simple performance. You can contact one of the bride and groom, and then suddenly appear in a surprise way..."
Then Zhou Yan put the magic red version of the mv The plot told Xu Xiangjie that the plot was very simple, that is, the Magic Red Band suddenly appeared at the wedding scene, bringing surprises to the bride and groom.
After hearing this, Xu Xiangjie couldn't help but sigh, "This sounds really interesting, but a wedding that meets the requirements may not be easy to find, and the results of the shooting may not be good, and there are difficulties. ”
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Try to find it, take a few shots. If the effect is not good, you can ask the actors to perform a few more weddings by yourself. Anyway, shooting MVs requires funding."
"Oh, I understand." "Xu Xiangjie suddenly said, "It's just a fake one to shoot MVs."
Of course, if the real wedding is shot well, you still have to use real pictures to save costs at least.
…
The next night, when Zhou Yan was on the phone with Shizuka Kudo, Shizuka Kudo told Zhou Yan that she would invite Wang Lihong to attend the next concert.
"This is arranged by the company. After hearing this, I thought it was very good, so I agreed. Huanyin agreed today. Do you know this?"
Huanyin is the company of the Zhou Yan brothers. Kufumi Shizuka knew about this, so she told Zhou Yan about this. "I thought it was you who asked for it on your own initiative." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Haha, I did mention it. However, Wang Lihong has been very popular in Neon recently. I will not suffer any loss by asking him to attend my concert."
Zhou Yan knew that Shizuka Kudo was the first to be a Shizuka." I must have mentioned it to the company, otherwise, under normal circumstances, Oki Production would not have invited a newcomer to be a guest at Kudo Shizuka's concert, even though this newcomer is very popular in Neon recently.
The reason why Oki Making made such a decision was probably not just because Kudo Shizuka suggested, but maybe she wanted to establish a good relationship with Zhou Yan.
Jeff Brown, who is far away in the United States, doesn't know much about the relationship between Huanyin and Zhou Yan, but Okima Production is very familiar with Okima Production. Okima Production knows a lot about the music circles in Xiangjiang and Taidao, and many of their artists are also Go there. He invited Wang Lihong to take advantage of the popularity of "howlongwilliloveyou", satisfied Kudo Shizuka's wishes, and also pleased Zhou Yan, which was a three-killing victory.
"This time I asked him to go to Neon to have a few more announcements, which can be regarded as promoting the movie."
Shizuka Kudo smiled, "You Do you know my good intentions? ”
I have to say that Kudo Shizuka's Chinese is getting better and better, and some idioms or four-character words are used very accurately. In this regard, her talent is indeed stronger than Akina Nakamori.
In fact, Akina Nakamori's Chinese performance is also very good, and she has made great progress during this period, but she is not as eye-catching as Shizuka Kudo.
"I understand, I will definitely reward you next time I meet and feed you."
Shizuka Kudo said shyly, "I hate you so much, why do you suddenly say this?"
< br>Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "I mean I want to take you to have delicious food, where do you want to go."
It seems that sometimes Chinese is not a good thing, it is easy to think about it.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Shizuka Kudo felt even more embarrassed, "It's because what you said is ambiguous. I won't tell you anymore. I've worked a lot these days and I'm very busy."
"No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to eat, otherwise I will really feed you well next time I meet you." Zhou Yan's tone this time was a bit funny, and he wanted to make fun of Kudo Shizuka.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
"Oh, I won't say it anymore, I'm dead."
Listening to the blind voice coming from the phone, Zhou Yan smiled. A few girls, Shizuka Kudo has the most cheerful personality, but she is the shyest when it comes to men and women. Zhou Yan also likes to tease her the most.
…
On the afternoon of April 8, Neon, Tokyo, at the entrance of the Wudou Hall.
Tan Nakamaji and Ibuki Reini held hands, stood in front of the poster at the entrance of the venue, looking at the message above.
Today is Kudo Shizuka's concert. They had already made an appointment to see it some time ago and bought tickets.
The official released news that a special guest would appear today. They wanted to study the poster and see who would be the special guest.
There are two girls standing next to them, and they are also studying the poster carefully. "The special guest may be Akina Nakamori," said one of the girls.
The other girl nodded, "Well, after all, they will have a new song for chorus."
"If Akina Nakamori comes, will she sing the new song to us in advance?"
"Well, maybe this is really possible, if it is true."
"It would be worth my time to grab the ticket early."
"This concert Tickets are really hard to buy."
"Because I won't have a birthday party today, fans think that today's concert is a birthday party."
"That's right."
…
Listening the conversation between the two girls, Tian Nakamaji and Ibuki Reini looked at each other. They agreed with the two girls' speculations. Today's special guest is likely to be Akina Nakamori.
The reason is also as the two girls said, Akina Nakamori and Shizuka Kudo will release a chorus song soon, and now is a good time to promote it.
Thinking of this, they were also a little excited, because maybe they could really hear the new song in advance today.
This is not impossible. Sometimes, singers do sing in advance on certain occasions before the new song is officially released. Isn’t it just right for occasions like concerts?
Of course, it is also possible that their guess is wrong. The one who came today was not Akina Nakamori, and the chorus songs would not be released in advance.
But they still couldn't help but with such expectations.
Soon after, it was 4:30, and the concert ticket check began. Tian Nakamaji and Ibuki Reinin followed the large army into the venue.
They didn't buy the first floor, they only bought the second floor, but the location is quite high and the viewing effect is quite good.
The Wudiao Hall is smaller in area and has fewer seats compared to ordinary gymnasiums. However, as an indoor venue, it has many seats. Including the temporary seats set up in the dojo, it can accommodate 15,000 yuan. Thousands of viewers.
After the two entered the venue, more than an hour later, the concert opening time came. The music on the scene was played, the lights were on, and the host went on stage and said a few more words. After the atmosphere was almost done, Shizuka Kudo stood there. The lifting platform slowly rises and appears on the stage.
Then it was the regular concert performance session. Kudo Shizuka worked very hard. She sang songs one by one and changed clothes one by one.
When the concert was halfway through, Shizuka Kudo changed into a relatively casual outfit to go on stage.
Although she sang and danced for an hour, Shizuka Kudo was in good condition, but she was a little breathing. In recent years, her weight was much heavier than before, and her physical fitness was much better, unlike before, when she performed for the show. She is too tired to bear it when she grows up.
Wipped a handful of sweat on his forehead, and Shizuka Kudo said with a smile, "Next, a special guest came to the scene. Maybe everyone doesn't know much about him, but a song he sang recently The song is very popular in neon. Let me give you a little tip. This song is the theme song in an upcoming movie. Do you know what kind of movie it is? ”
"Time and Space Love Traveler!"
Many people in the audience said the name of the movie in unison. There is no way. Among the upcoming movies, most of the only ones related to the songs can only think of "Time and Space Love Traveler".
There are only Zhou Yan's movies, which can make so many people pay attention to the music in it every time.
Shizuka Kudo was very satisfied with the audience's reaction. She smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's "Time and Space Love Traveler". This movie will be released in a few days. Everyone will go to the cinema to watch it. .”
"Okay."
"I will also go to the cinema, maybe we will meet by chance." Kudo Shizuka smiled, turned around and shouted, "Let us welcome the special guest, Wang Lihong."
When Shizuka Kudo Shizuka After shouting, the prelude to "howlongwilliloveyou" had already sounded, and Wang Lihong also stood on the lifting platform and slowly rose to the stage. (This chapter ends)
