Chapter 609 Is it possible for a salted fish like me to turn over?

On Thursday, at 9 a.m., the Asia Times Billboard changed its rankings.

Zhao Chuanxiong's Cantonese main feature, Xia Guang Xiangrui's Chinese main feature, and Song Jiaqian's Chinese main feature were on the list, ranking eighth, fifteenth, and eighteenth.

In addition, after the future girl’s Mandarin main theme ranked first for four weeks, it fell to third last week and seventh this week, while the Chinese main theme and the Korean main theme are ranked 14th and 17th.

The Chinese main feature of Sifutian Band, after a brief victory last week, fell to fourth this week, with the Island Mandarin main feature and the Little Korean main feature ranked ninth and twelfth.

In other words, the album songs of Chinese singers account for four songs on the first list, five songs on the second list, and nearly half of the entire list.

Xiao Han and the music circle in the island country are no longer calm.

The Asian music scene is their world, so how can others let you get a share of the pie? No, this is no longer a share of the pie.

The Chinese singer came in full force, as if he was in a row, and he was in a three-legged state with Xiao Han and the island singer.

Is this so great?

The suppression method comes quickly!

On Xiao Han's side, Aikuqi Entertainment held an emergency senior management meeting, and after the meeting, contacted several first- and second-tier entertainment companies to reach a consensus.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Chuanxiong arrived at Xiaohan's second largest city. Before leaving the airport, the agent received a notice that tonight's live interview would be temporarily cancelled.

A variety show that Guo Bao and Shi Hui were originally scheduled to be on tonight was notified to be replaced by Xiao Han’s local artist 5 hours before the broadcast.

On the island country, the top entertainment companies such as Saul Entertainment and Sakurayin Club also reached a consensus after communicating with each other.

Song Jiaqian is scheduled to rank fourth in the island country's ratings tomorrow night, and is also the most important resource in the island country's promotion.

Xia Guang Xiangrui was even notified that, including tonight, a live interview will be broadcast in the island country in the next three days, a guest guest on a music station program, and a variety show will be cancelled.

Interestingly, not only Xiao Han or the island country, the other party was full of apology when notifying the cancellation and attributed the responsibility to its own party. Not only did it refund the full fee, but it also had a contract spirit and readily agreed to pay the liquidated damages equivalent to half of the full amount.

From a business perspective, there was no breach of trust, but in fact it was a Chinese singer who was very hard-working.

You know, the album cost does not only include promotional fees. Generally speaking, it is only possible to pass the exam by one to five. That is, 100 yuan of promotion will generate 500 yuan of sales, and a refund of 0.5 yuan will be a loss to grandma's house.

That's not all. Xiao Han and the island country are the second of the three largest markets in Asia. If there is less publicity in these two markets and the expected results cannot be achieved, how much difference is there between Asian and domestic film releases?

In addition, the number of singers linked to sales is even more important than the loss and profit of a single record, which involves subsequent commercial performances and endorsement prices...

Huage Records, Mr. Hua listened to the marketing director's report and slapped the table: "I hurt people with my own fault, I'm a bastard!"

On Nisso Records, Mr. Huang hung up the phone and his face turned gloomy: "I can't bear to see the rise of my Chinese singer."

On Dimei Records, Mr. Zhao cursed: "Made, if you can't fight with real guns and live ammunition, you can play tricks."

Time Records, Qiao Li's pretty face was cold, she pointed at her desk with her fingers and murmured: "It's just a little bit of a sign, and the rules are broken."

As he said that, his eyes narrowed, he grabbed the microphone and called out.

Su Ting and Qiao Li got used to Li Zheng's handshake and did not contact him immediately. Li Zheng learned that it was because Li Xia heard from an agent of Ty Records that she reposted it into his ears.

Instead of calling the country across the country, Li Zheng went directly to Wen Longkang's office and asked straight to the point that the four Chinese singers were broken at the same time.

Wen Longkang already knew it, but did not hide it. He said frankly: "Xiao Han is the leader of Aiku Qi, and Saul and Sakurayin Club are the leader of the island country. I don't need to say the purpose. In the future, the girl is the queen, and the Sifutian band may not be able to be the king. Last week, the four Chinese singers released a film together, and three songs were on the billboard, and they were all Chinese songs, which made Xiao Han and the island country's music circle feel great pressure."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and added: "Aikuqi also contacted me, but I did not participate on the grounds of cooperating with Huacan, but I could not stand out, otherwise I would be the target of public criticism."

I have set myself aside and also made my attitude clear: I can only stay out of it.

Li Jian refused to say anything and said lightly: "President Wen, the new album of Li Zhihui and An Guilong, the full moon has reached the default of nine platinum or more, Treasure Girl, B5, Extreme God, Pinks, Missile Group and other new albums, the full moon has also reached the default of seven hundred gold. In the first half of this year, the average score of the singers under Aikuqi released records increased by one and a half platinum than last year. Do you think there is any?"

Wen Longkang's eyes flashed slightly, and he could hear some meaning, but he didn't understand everything.

Li opened his smile: "Little Han singer entered our country. Whether it is promoting publicity or album promotion, he enjoys top resources. My Chinese singer Yayu released a film. In Xiao Han's promotion, let alone top resources, even the first-level resources cannot be used. Now even the second-level resources are deprived. Everyone pays the corresponding fees. Do you think it is fair?"

Wen Longkang was speechless and smiled bitterly.

Li Jian closed his smile: "President Wen, China has a population of 150,000. After 90 years, the per capita income will increase by more than 10 points every year. I can say responsibly that the Chinese record market has surpassed the Xiaohan record market. It will not take long before the island record market will be even comparable to the largest record market in the whole star, and in the future, the United States will be the largest."

"It's not that Chinese people cannot suffer any loss, but they will never allow others to bully or suppress them. I can say responsibly that if the resources that my Chinese singer were temporarily cancelled cannot be made up for, next, it will be difficult for the little Korean singer to continue to develop in our Chinese country."

"And my cooperation between Huacan and Ty is probably forced to be suspended."

After hearing the last sentence, Wen Longkang frowned and his face became a little ugly: "Chairman Li, I can understand your mood, but this time the matter has nothing to do with me, but it is about to involve my cooperation with Huacan. Isn't it too unreasonable?"

Li Zhang shook his head: "I am not a threat but a realistic fact. The singers who released films in the Asian music industry last week were Huacan, Huage and Nisso, and this week it was Huacan, Beca, Daishi, and Huage, with a total of 5 companies, including 3 giants and one quasi-giant. I, Huacan, are also the front line. I will definitely have a position in this matter. Whoever does it will be the target of public criticism."

"If there is no proper solution to this matter, the worst result may be that the music circles between the two countries will break off. Not to mention who will suffer greater losses, it will definitely be a loss-making loss."

Li Kai slowed down and said seriously: "President Wen, I hope ty can talk to Aikuqi so as not to suffer unintentional disasters. As Xiaohan Entertainment Company, they have common interests and are more convenient to communicate. I believe that Aikuqi will recognize the gains and losses of interests and will not act alone again."

Wen Longkang fell silent, his brows still frowned until Li Zheng said another sentence before he let go.

"If I, Huacan, lose the bet, our two families will have a cooperative relationship with interests. If such a thing happens in China in the future, I, Huacan, will also come forward to communicate and resolve it. If I, Huacan, win the bet, it will be that the two families will unite. My Huacan's affairs are ty's affairs, and ty's affairs are also my Huacan's affairs."

What this said is reasonable and Wen Longkang has no intention of refuting that as long as ty is not ready to tear up the contract with Huacan, ty cannot stay out of this matter.

As for tearing up the contract, just kidding, cooperating with Huacan is what ty dreams of. Li Zheng’s bet is invincible. Tearing up the contract is like withdrawing the deposits in his own bank and tearing them off one by one, which is a fool.

Wen Longkang breathed out: "I want to report to the president."

Li Zheng nodded: "This matter cannot be delayed."

Wen Longkang nodded too.

Half an hour later, Wen Longkang gave a positive reply. Li Zheng was not surprised and immediately called the country, asking Su Ting and Qiao Li to contact Niso, Huage, Dai Shi, and Beca respectively, and jointly put pressure on Rolling Snow and Huili Jing.

The latter two are Aikuqi's partners in China. Only when they cannot withstand the pressure, Aikuqi will truly feel the pressure.

Things went smoother than expected. Niso and Huage represented five companies to contact Rolling Snow and Huilijing. The latter two did not bargain, and clearly stated that they would advance and retreat with domestic record companies in this matter and would take the initiative to contact Aikuqi.

Giants are giants, and the priorities are clearly distinguished. Introducing foreign singers is just the first in the world. If other record companies are willing, they can imitate them. It is not a behavior that exceeds the rules. It seems to have become the target of public criticism for a time, but it is just arousing envy and jealousy... but there is no hatred, and the actual harm is very limited.

But at present, the Chinese singer has been bullied in Xiao Han. If he stands on Aikuqi's side, it will be like he is exiled from the domestic music circle, and the consequences can be imagined.

After some negotiations, Aikuqi let go and asked Ty to pass on the message on his behalf, cancelled publicity resources and liquidated damages, and the same level of publicity resources will be added in the future.

Once Xiao Han's resistance disappeared, there was no need for Huacan to connect. Niso took the initiative to put pressure on Weige, who cooperated with Sakurayin Club, while Huage and Beca put pressure on each record company in Baodao and Hong Kong Island where Saul is negotiating cooperation.

Soon, the help from the island country disappeared, and Sakurayin Club asked Weige to pass the message, and the solution was the same as that of Xiao Han.

Li Zheng was not surprised when he learned the result. No other reason, China is no longer the China that was a few years ago. The size of the record market has surpassed that of Xiao South Korea and approached the island country. With this confidence, coupled with a clear internal attitude and a consistent position, how dare the two countries really challenge the bottom line of the Chinese music circle?

Suppression is just a mess. Record promotion time is a treasure. If it can be delayed for a few days, sales will be affected. The rapid momentum of Chinese singers will be frustrated. It doesn’t matter if you apologize for later and accompany the money. Anyway, apologize is just a joke. Losing money is not a problem for Asian giant entertainment companies.

Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be delayed. You must be quick and sharp, and you can directly draw your sword...

Friday.

fly      Grils's first single has been recorded, and the shooting of MV is also included.

ty record announced the release date, which is scheduled for next Friday.

In the evening.

ty training base basketball court.

Li Zheng poured the ball with his left and right hands outside the three-point line. After about a dozen strokes, he suddenly started and was about to go to the left, but turned to the right. He accelerated and shook the fat man in front of him, dribbled the ball into three steps and made a layup, hit the board and entered the basket.

"Bang bang bang!"

The basketball fell from the basket. As the ground was bouncing, Li Qi turned around, raised two fingers, and raised a winner's smile on the corner of his mouth.

The fat man must be 170 to 80 kilograms, and his height is much lower than Xiao Han's average height. He looks like he is 1.65 to 66, and has a baby face. He seems to be less than 30 years old, but in fact he is almost thirty years old. At this moment, he is sweating heavily, gasping for heat in his mouth, and his head shakes like a rattle: "I'm out of breath, I'm out of breath."

As he said, he sat on the ground.

"Just your physical fitness, I'm so embarrassed to dance for half an hour without breathing." Li Zheng took two cans of drinks from the side of the field, walked over and sat next to the fat man, and handed over a can.

This fat man is the assistant in the dance class. He is actually a choreographer, so he helps dialect and register, takes dance clothes, handing water during rest, and mopping the floor after the course...

"I'm talking about the time I debuted, I was only in my early twenties and weighed less than 100..." The fat man took two sips of drinks, smiled on his face, looked optimistic, but there was a hint of extreme loneliness in his eyes.

The fat man's name is Yu Zairong. Ten years ago, did Xiao Han still have such a systematic artist selection and training system like this? He debuted in the singing competition and signed a contract with TY Records. Because he not only sang well but also danced well, he was listed as a newcomer. His first single was a dance music, which won good sales and climbed to the second-tier line of Little South Korea.

But the two records were lukewarm and encountered personnel adjustments in the music department. The deputy minister in charge of him resigned. The new deputy minister didn't know if he was a foe-character conflict and was not interested in him. After another single failed to achieve results, he was completely marginalized.

The popularity is exhausted, no records are released, and there is no commercial performance, so livelihood is a problem. The fat man can only ask to retreat behind the scenes, sing a sample of the records of other singers, play roles in MV, and also come to the training base to be a street dance second teacher.

Later, as he gained weight, the role of MV was gone, and the second school of Street Dance became a dance assistant, and even the chances of singing the sample were very few.

"We in China have a saying that heroes don't mention their courage." Li Zheng glanced at him contemptuously.

"Yes, I'm just a salted fish now, and I'm hopeless to turn things around in my life."

The company gave him a nickname. He thought it was quite appropriate. Li Zheng had heard of it three times without hesitation.

Of course, Li Zheng was also relatively easy-going. Not only did he play basketball several times, but he also invited him to have lunch snacks twice, he didn't know Li Zheng's identity. He just thought that Li Zheng was a Chinese student who came to Xiaohan to study abroad and took the summer vacation to participate in dance class training through company selection.

Li Kai took a sip of soda and said with a firm tone: "Who said that salted fish cannot turn over? As long as you want, you will have a chance to turn over. It is like your name, no matter how glorious it is, no matter how glorious it is."

The fat man rolled his eyes and pointed at his nose a little bit self-deprecatingly: "Can a salted fish like me turn over? Unless time goes back."
