Chapter 605 Do you want to be popular?(1/2)
The relationship between Huacan Group and Ty Records today is very similar to the relationship between Huacan Studio and Shuteng Records.
Shuteng Records was in financial trouble, so they lowered their profile and actively sought cooperation with Hua Can Studio. However, they refused to accept Hua Can's capital injection and cede the leadership to Shuteng Records.
During the cooperation, although Shuteng relied on Hua Can in everything, it seemed to be upside down and putting the cart before the horse. In fact, until the end of the bet, the real initiative was always in the hands of Shuteng.
At the beginning, Luo Shao threatened and induced Shuteng to give up the cooperation with Hua Can. If Shuteng complied, all stores across the country would cut off the subsequent supply of Feng Zhihao's four-person record, causing Hua Can, which was still in its cradle, to lose its
The halberd sinks into the sand, and as for a lawsuit, that is a distant matter.
Before the bet was signed, Hua Can was determined to drag Shuteng into trouble. Among the ten singers, he asked Shuteng Records to take three shares, just to guard against Shuteng's sudden constraints.
Having to share the money you make with others and being controlled by others is so helpless. Today's Hua Can is no longer the small studio it once was, and its destiny still needs to be in its own hands.
If I eat a piece of meat and give it to you, that’s fine, but the piece of meat must be held in my hand instead of you handing it to me.
The shopping mall is dangerous, not to mention cross-border cooperation. As a major shareholder of a group company with a market value of hundreds of millions, a pure gentleman will mislead himself and others. Only the villain first and then the gentleman are responsible and responsible.
Of course, Li Fan also understands that in the Asian and even international music circles, the Korean music circle has to surpass the Chinese music circle. If you want to acquire it from the bottom up, it will be extremely difficult and there will be a lot of help.
It's not just about money...
So, inspired by last year's bet, he decided to repeat the old trick. The difference was that it was Mr. Luo who took the initiative at that time, but this time, it was him.
And the conditions he offered were that if ty won, he would get what he wanted, and even if he lost, he would still make a sure profit. The two singers were on the front line through a record, of which ty would have been able to share half of the profits. Hua Can acquired the company.
How much or how much.
Precisely because TY was in an invincible position, Li Kai was certain that the other party could not refuse.
As expected, Wen Longkang and others were shocked at first. After looking at each other for a while, Wen Longkang signaled the others to be silent with his eyes. He confirmed: "Chairman Li is serious about what he said? If it is serious, it will not only affect the whole company, but also Xiaohan's music circle."
With an explanation, it’s not a bad idea.”
Li Fan said with a smile: "Of course I take it seriously. If you agree, we will sign an agreement in black and white."
"Okay, I need some time to communicate with the president and the company's shareholders about this matter. How about we continue talking at two o'clock in the afternoon?" Wen Longkang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. There was no sadness or joy on his face, but there was a little more in his eyes.
He was very passionate and determined, obviously very interested in this bet.
Li Fan readily agreed.
After Wen Longkang and others left, Qiao Li asked: "How sure are you if the other party agrees?"
Li Fan scratched his head: "More than 50%."
Su Ting asked: "What if the other party doesn't agree?"
Li Fan shrugged: "Then there will be a chance to cooperate again."
So far, no one had any third question. At Li Fan's call, everyone went to a Chinese restaurant next to the park for a big meal and returned to the company at one o'clock.
Wen Longkang and others were very punctual, leaving and returning a few minutes earlier than two o'clock, and the two parties sat in the conference room again.
The discussion lasted for more than two hours, and it took more than an hour to draw up the agreement on the spot. Su Ting and Wen Longkang signed as representatives and stamped the company's seal.
There are dozens of terms in the contract, including specific plans for cooperation and acquisition of the outcome of the bet, the total cost of releasing films by two singers under Ty Records, etc.
In addition, Li Fan made a special point: the two singers' records are not limited to the Asian music scene. Hua Can has the right to extend to the international music scene. The additional expenses will be borne by Hua Can, and the profits will also belong to Hua Can. Of course, the bet won The negative is based on the sales volume of the Asian music scene...
After the contract was negotiated, Li Fan generously invited Longkang and others to have a sumptuous dinner at Hua Can's partner hotel, Maka Villa.
The next day, Wen Longkang and others took a flight back to Xiaohan early in the morning.
Later in the day, news that Hua Can and Ty Entertainment had reached a gambling agreement spread in the music circles of the two countries.
At 9 a.m. on Monday, the Xiaohan Music Association and the Chinese Music Association unanimously confirmed the news, and stated that they had communicated with each other and would jointly provide third-party justice for this bet.
The Chinese music circle was shocked by it, and the Xiaohan music circle was shocked by it!
At ten o'clock, the domestic sales list for last week was released, and later, the sales of last week in various Asian countries were summarized one after another, which shocked the music circles of various Asian countries!
Domestic sales chart for last week.
Future Girl, who has come out of the piracy protection period, gave up the top spot for three consecutive weeks, but was replaced by the band Dog Days, with sales of 274,743.
There are only 9 domestic singers who released their albums in the same week as Four Dog Days Band, and the one with the highest level is the second line. In the new song recommendations on the two charts last week, Four Dog Days Band did not encounter strong challenges and achieved double clearance on both charts. .
It seems reasonable, but don't forget that in addition to one Chinese song "Tenderness", the other one is a Korean song "Destiny". In the end, the two songs are equally ranked, and each one has a share of clearance.
As for this Korean-language hit, in last week's Xiaohan World Ranking PK, like Future Girl's Korean-language hit "Easy with Beauty", it was shortlisted in the sixth round, which is the penultimate round, while "Tenderness" stopped in the fifth round.
In Xiaohan's case, the sales last week were more than 240,000 copies, which was only less than 20,000 copies compared to the same period last year as Future Girls' album.
Obviously, this Korean song is very popular in the country and with Xiao Han.
"Destiny", one of the masterpieces of the Korean king-level singer Rain in the past life of the earth.
In 2004, the Korean drama "Full House" adapted from the comic book became popular in Asia, achieving an average ratings of 31.9% in South Korea and a peak ratings of 47%, ranking first among Korean dramas in the same period.
It was subsequently exported to more than 13 countries including China, the United States, and Japan for broadcast, and was remade in the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and other countries. The highest ratings in the Philippines reached 50.5%, in Thailand the highest ratings reached 64%, and in Hong Kong the highest ratings reached 80%, breaking local viewing records in Thailand, the Philippines and other Asian regions.
Thanks to the drama, Rain and Song Hye Kyo have become well-known male and female stars in Asia. As the theme song of the drama, "Destiny" is also popular all over Asia, establishing Rain's status as the king of Asia.
This song is one of the few classic Korean love songs.
In the island country, the island country's main hit "Tomorrow Never Knows" replicated the strength of "Don't Give Up" and passed seven rounds in advance on the credibility list, while "Tenderness" also advanced to the fifth round.
More than 290,000 copies were sold last week.
Southeast Asian countries, more than 270,000.
The total number is 1.09 million.
The album has been on the market for 10 days and has sold a total of 1.4 million copies. This result is higher than the same period last year, which is higher than that of Xiaohan and the popular ones in the island country, Treasure Girls and Amuro Tianka. Compared with Future Girls, the gap is only about 100,000 copies.
As for Future Girl, although it ranked second in domestic sales last week, it only had more than 230,000 copies.
Island country, more than 350,000.
Xiao Han, more than 270,000 photos.
Southeast Asian countries, more than 180,000.
The total number is nearly 1.05 million.
A total of 4.42 million copies have been collected in four weeks, and with 2 days left before the full moon, it has undisputedly achieved the full moon default of 9 platinum or above.
Successfully continued the miracle created by the first album in the domestic music scene. With the first album released in the Asian music scene, it successfully won the title of queen!
China's first sub-regional top-tier singer was born.
Since there are currently no other top-tier girl groups in the Asian music scene, Future Girls deservedly won the title as the first diva group in Asia!
...
Dawn Records.
Wu Han took the sales list compiled by his secretary, his face was a little gray, and his eyes were a little dim.
"Future Girl sub-region is sealed, Four Dog Days band is stable and surpasses the top line, Lao Cao..."
Cao Meng met Wu Han's gaze and immediately understood the meaning in his gaze. He sighed secretly, shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu, the Chinese music scene has been in existence for more than ten years, and there are only a handful of singers who have made great achievements in the Asian music scene.
It can be counted that it is the first-line brand that reaches the top of the charts. It still relies on the cumulative sales of multiple records, and domestic sales account for more than two-thirds."
"It's a gamble to go all out to enter the Asian music scene. Future Girls and the Four Dog Days band can become famous in the Asian region. This is something no one expected. Your decision was not wrong at the beginning. After all, Hua Can can afford to lose."
, I, Shuteng Records, cannot afford to lose."
Wu Han showed a wry smile: "But in the end, Hua Can won the bet. It was difficult for me, Shuteng, to disembark from the ship midway, but it would be difficult to get on the ship again."
Cao Meng said objectively: "It's too early to say whether we will win or lose. Hua Can has made a bet with Ty and his ambition is clear. He will never stop in the Asian music scene. He really wants to enter the international music scene."
"Yayu has independent distribution channels and resources in the international music scene, which is less than the number of hands. Ty just has it. I think this is the real purpose of Hua Can's acquisition."
"The domestic music scene is like a river, the Asian music scene is like a river, and the international music scene is like a sea. The risks of waves are not comparable to those of river waves."
Wu Han nodded on his face, but the regret in his heart was very limited. Now that the ship has been launched into the water, as the captain, it is of course the first priority to ensure that the ship does not capsize, but how can he not be ambitious and not eager to enter the river and go out to sea?
The moment we part ways with Hua Can, it may be destined to become a regret in this life.
...
Hua Can Records.
Su Ting held the microphone silently. For a moment, a difficult voice came from the other end: "Su Ting, you just want to hear the truth. Did you already know that when you asked me to train with the Four Dog Days band for half a year, what would happen next?"
Give the Asian music scene a chance to release a film?"
Su Ting replied: "I don't know. This was decided by Brother Fan. The band Four Dog Days also passed the assessment after training, and then they were qualified to release films in Asia."
There was another silence on the other end, and he said with a hint of self-deprecation: "It's useless to say anything now. If you miss it, you will miss it."
Su Ting did not answer the call, and there was silence for a moment again, and then she said: "My agent is looking for me, I'll hang up first."
Su Ting put the microphone back and shook her head silently. She had few friends. Kong Yanyin was once one of them, but if she missed it, she would miss it...
Time record.
The window seat in the cafeteria.
"I really didn't care before. Okay, I'll ask around later and call you back..."
Qiao Li hung up the phone, took a long breath, and looked up at Li Fan opposite, who also just hung up the phone.
