Chapter 606 The Chinese music scene is also a big market (1/2 monthly ticket)
In fact, hot business invitations are a commonplace. UMG came to the door and wanted to sign Yang Qian's overseas management contract. This was the big event that made Wu Lan brace up and deal with it.
The scene of Yang Qian causing many foreign audiences to sing in chorus at the opening ceremony of the Women's Football World Cup not only made domestic netizens talk about and be proud of him, but also made many foreign audiences sitting in front of the TV have a better understanding of him.
Deep impression.
UMG originally wanted to announce Yang Qian's concert arrangements after Yang Qian participated in the opening ceremony of the Women's Football World Cup, and take advantage of the popularity to start selling tickets.
But no one expected that Yang Qian's popularity would be so strong. Not only would he be praised domestically, but he would also receive praise from abroad.
Therefore, UMG began to think of persuading Yang Qian to hold concerts overseas.
It is not uncommon for Chinese singers to hold concerts overseas. Even if they are just passers-by in the eyes of foreigners, there are still many Chinese overseas, and many Chinese fans and international student fans will buy tickets to support them.
But like Yang Qian, with not only Chinese fans, but also foreign fans, his concert tickets should sell better!
Of course, before making a decision, UMG will still choose several major cities in North America to conduct market research to see if the idea is feasible.
However, before they could discuss with Yang Qian to promote overseas concert plans, someone from UMG headquarters came.
...
"This is Shirley Yang, the manager of our UMG International Artist Management Department, and you and Mr. Yang are from the same family!"
Of course, for such a big matter, we had to sit down and talk. Wu Lan arranged a conference room to receive people from UMG. Of course, the protagonist Yang Qian was also present.
"Hello!"
Yang Qian said hello to the other party.
"Nihao, where is Ms. Dai? Why haven't you seen her?"
That Shirley Yang is a second-generation Chinese. Although she can speak Chinese, she obviously has some difficulties and is not at the level of her native language.
"She is currently preparing for a wedding. She is quite busy and can't get away."
Yang Qian didn't expect that the other party wanted to find his wife, but they didn't say anything at first, and Dai Yuni, who was busy with various wedding affairs, didn't come over.
For Dai Yuni, the wedding is even more important!
Shirley Yang didn't understand, so she turned to look at the vice president of UMG China next to her, who translated for her.
It was very troublesome to translate back and forth like this. When Yang Qian saw this, he simply communicated with the other party directly in English. Anyway, his English level was not bad and there was no obstacle to communication.
After listening to Shirley Yang's story, Yang Qian and Wu Lan basically understood their purpose and thoughts.
UMG just wants to sign Yang Qian's overseas management contract, which includes Yang Qian's development arrangements in the overseas music market, Yang Qian's overseas concerts, and package arrangements for the overseas sales of Yang Qian's songs.
It seems that UMG has a huge appetite and seems to want to eat most of Yang Qian's overseas earnings.
But in fact, such cooperation does not have a great impact on Qianyu Media.
Gu Liao
Because Yang Qian's development focus is still at home, just like Uncle Long who went to Hollywood to make movies, he went overseas to make a career, but his foundation is still at home.
dollars.
Moreover, just like Yang Qian now chooses to cooperate with UMG to hold concerts, if Yang Qian has ideas about overseas markets, he really has to cooperate with UMG, one of the top four music companies in the world. Their sales channels and promotion capabilities are not A small studio-style company like Qianyu Media can't compare!
Therefore, Wu Lan didn't know how to advise Yang Qian.
Yang Qian is so talented that the small pool of the Chinese music scene simply cannot satisfy him.
Therefore, Wu Lan also hopes that Yang Qian can become an international superstar.
Qianyu Media is a company run by Yang Qian and Dai Yuni. They want to develop overseas. That is also a great honor for Qianyu Media!
Yes, UMG also wants to sign Dai Yuni, because they know that Yang Qian and Dai Yuni are inseparable, and Dai Yuni's performance at the opening ceremony was not bad. The key is that she has Yang Qian to write songs for her, Don’t worry if you don’t have any good works to conquer Western audiences.
The question is, will Yang Qian agree?
"Thank you UMG for favoring us. However, we have no plans to develop abroad for the time being, and we will not consider it for at least five years."
Yang Qian thought for a moment and then slowly expressed his thoughts.
Regardless of the consideration of going abroad for development, it is not because of cultural differences. Yang Qian's music library has a large number of English songs, many of which have won Grammys.
It can be said that for Yang Qian, if he goes abroad to develop his career, even if he cannot become popular in Europe and the United States, he can still do better than many singers and have a large number of fans of his own.
But this is not what Yang Qian wants to do at this stage!
"Yang Qian, are you worried about safety issues? In fact, there is no need to worry at all. First of all, foreign countries are not as dangerous as you think. There has indeed been a phenomenon of anti-Chinese in recent years, but this situation is accidental, and there are still a large number of Chinese people are safe in the United States.
Then our main production can be placed in China, and distribution is also through our UMG and several cooperative online distribution channels. We will only invite you to come to the United States to hold a concert or if there is a need for promotion in the future. Of course, we will do it for you Providing the best possible protection..."
Shirley Yang spoke to Yang Qian in English mixed with non-standard Chinese.
UMG wants to establish an international superstar like Uncle Long in the music industry to achieve its goal of expanding the market size and enhancing the company's brand status.
Shirley Yang also wants to make dazzling achievements with Yang Qian. After all, she is Chinese, and she still hopes that China will produce a big singer, so that her voice in the headquarters will be much higher!
But unfortunately, Yang Qian had no intention of following their ideas.
"Shirley, I believe that UMG can provide me with protection, and I also hope to have the opportunity to sing for overseas fans. But now I still want to stay in China. I have only debuted for less than two years, and my foundation has not been firmly established!"
Yang Qian said to her.
"But, you are already very outstanding in China. You are the overall champion of "The Voice of Chinese", have very good sales records, and have appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and the Women's World Cup. With so many achievements, there is nothing better! Why not take advantage of this Opportunity to break out of the Chinese-speaking circle and go to a larger market?"
Shirley Yang asked puzzledly.
"The Chinese music scene is not smaller than other markets, but it still has great potential that has not been tapped. My achievements are also negligible. The road to music is never-ending. I and other Chinese musicians must continue to work hard. Of course , if I have the opportunity in the future, I will still go out and have a look like you said, I believe it will not be too late then, and I will not miss any opportunities."
Yang Qian's tone was actually very tactful, but his strong self-confidence was still reflected in him.
