Among the singers participating in the national competition this year, singer-songwriters account for about one-third.
Others are pure singers who simply sing better.
After all, those who write new songs like Qi Ji are in the minority.
So after so many rounds of competition, especially after experiencing each state's own competition.
Many singers have already finished singing their more popular songs.
On such a stage, everyone has a tacit understanding that they will never sing the same song a second time.
So now that the national competition is underway, many singers seem to be struggling with their own songs.
So buying other people's popular songs and then singing them on this stage is a choice that many people have made in recent rounds.
After all, this is a singer's competition, and what the audience listens to...is whether the singing is good or not.
As for who is the original author of this song, it is actually just the icing on the cake. The audience also understands this, so there is no objection at all.
And on the contrary, some singers buy covers of songs that are completely different from their own style, but they will receive some unexpected effects.
So at the suggestion of his wife, Pang Ziming's team contacted the copyright department of Shunli Entertainment.
In fact, Shunli Entertainment asks for a lot of Qi Ji music copyright every month.
Most of them are covers on some variety shows or large-scale evening shows on some TV stations.
At the beginning, Qi Ji basically had to confirm in person what the other party wanted to do with the cover rights.
But after all, it’s just a cover.
As long as the other party's identity is suitable, then this is an opportunity to promote Earth's music, so Qi Ji will not let it pass.
Later, because there were so many people who came to buy the copyright, Qi Ji did not intend to refuse most of them.
Therefore, some simple copyright processing matters were directly handed over to the company's copyright department.
During the past period, the overall operation of the Copyright Department has naturally been without problems.
But today, after Pang Ziming contacted the Copyright Department.
What the other party wants to buy is the cover copyright of "Blue and White Porcelain".
Ever since Qi Ji performed this song for the first time on the stage of "Born Idol" and amazed the whole country of China.
In fact, over the past few years, there have been a lot of singers who found Shunli Entertainment to buy "Blue and White Porcelain" to sing on some programs.
Most of them are first- and second-tier singers.
Most of these invitations were agreed to after the Copyright Department consulted them.
But this time, it's different.
Because Pang Ziming is a player participating in the national competition.
Although he is not Qi Ji's opponent in this round.
But the copyright department doesn't dare to make decisions without authorization.
So he reported the matter to Meng Feichen.
Meng Feichen knew Pang Ziming.
He had even heard about the fact that Pang Ziming was always said to be Qi Ji's die-hard fan.
So after hearing the news that the other party wanted to buy "Blue and White Porcelain", I saw that the other party had only accumulated three points after eight rounds.
The threat to Qi Ji is not great.
Especially his opponent in this round is Wang Piao, Qi Ji's direct competitor.
So if Pang Ziming can win Wang Piao in this round.
Then... Qi Ji's chances of winning are even better!
With this in mind, Meng Feichen dialed Qi Ji's phone number.
At this moment, Qi Ji was editing "Butterfly Lovers" on the second floor of the company. After Meng Feichen called Qi Ji, the two briefly chatted for a few words, and then met directly in the company's tea room.
Meng Feichen held up the coffee cup with cat ears and said with a smile: "How about it? This idea of mine is quite good!"
Qi Ji took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "Mr. Meng, in terms of insidiousness, it has to be you!"
Meng Feichen burst out laughing: "What is insidious? This is a business cooperation!"
…
At this moment, in Pang Ziming's studio, he and his team are nervously waiting for a reply from Smooth Entertainment.
Because no matter whether Shunli Entertainment agrees to their idea of purchasing "Blue and White Porcelain" or not.
Today, my ninth round of song selection must be finalized.
Because every round, every week, there are several groups of players competing.
This week is his Pang Ziming's competition, and time waits for no one.
"Half an hour ago, the news from Shunli Entertainment was that their Mr. Meng still needs to discuss with Teacher Qi Ji. Because we and Teacher Qi Ji are currently participating in the national competition, the Copyright Department of Shunli Entertainment
There are certain considerations." The assistant explained briefly.
The agent nodded: "It is indeed the fastest-growing entertainment company in recent years. This operation is indeed very professional!"
Pang Ziming praised: "What you said is actually wrong. The most critical factor in the rise of Shunli Entertainment is actually Qi Ji."
"That's true, but I don't know if Teacher Qi Ji will agree to it. Although we are both opponents in the national competition, if we use Teacher Qi Ji's song to compare his direct competitor Wang Piao
If he wins, it will be absolutely beneficial to him!"
While several people were discussing, Pang Ziming's wife's phone rang.
Listening to the other party's voice, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
By the time she hung up the phone, the excitement in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Seeing his wife's reaction, Pang Ziming knew he was safe. He hugged him directly and said, "Haha, Teacher Qi Ji agreed, right? He is indeed my favorite musician!"
His wife pushed Pang Ziming away with all her strength, her face suddenly dimmed and she said, "No, Teacher Qi Ji did not agree to cover "Blue and White Porcelain" for us!"
"ah?"
"What!? No way!"
"What a pity!"
"Is this song so unrelated to our boss?"
After hearing this answer, Pang Ziming lay down weakly on the chair. He sighed deeply: "Hey... I still have no fate with Teacher Qi Ji!"
Seeing everyone's reaction, the manager burst into laughter and said: "Haha, okay, okay, everyone clean up, let's go directly to Shunli Entertainment!"
"ah?"
"what's the situation?"
"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go directly to Shunli Entertainment? What does this mean?"
"Are there any variables? Or maybe the requirements over there are very high?"
"Sign the contract and let's go to their company? Isn't it necessary?"
"Haha, you actually sold it to me, right?" Pang Ziming suddenly resurrected with full health, "Let's go, let's go!"
Pang Ziming's wife had already started to act excitedly: "No, Qi Ji didn't say that he would give you "Blue and White Porcelain", but he did say that he would write a new song for you and sing it in the ninth round!"
"Wocao!!" Pang Ziming was about to faint from happiness.
the next day.
Pang Ziming, his manager wife and an assistant happily came to Shunli Entertainment.
Then in the recording studio, I met Qi Ji, Xiao Le and others.
"Teacher Qi Ji! I have been friends with you for a long time. I really like your works!" When Pang Ziming saw Qi Ji, he couldn't stop smiling.
He came up directly and gave Qi Ji a hug.
Qi Ji also smiled and said: "Teacher Pang, you are a senior, haha! We are learning from each other!"
Pang Ziming's manager wife directly answered: "Teacher Qi Ji, you are really too humble. Singers who want to sing the songs you wrote can really queue up from Chaoyang City."
From the capital! You are willing to give our family Ziming this opportunity this time. Even if we risk our lives, we must win in the ninth round!"
Gu Pingting brought tea for everyone.
Qi Ji motioned for everyone to sit down, and then played a demo directly.
While everyone was listening, Qi Ji said: "Is this song okay? After listening to Brother Pang's previous style, I think this song is the most suitable for you."
When Pang Ziming heard this song "Old Boy", he was already extremely happy.
He already felt that he was completely surrounded by the musical happiness created by Qi Ji.
As for the song itself.
Are you kidding me? Are there any bad songs written by Teacher Qi Ji?
Pang Ziming stayed at Shunli Entertainment for half a day.
Under Qi Ji's step-by-step teaching, I became almost familiar with the entire song.
night.
Everyone finished the meal together.
Then Pang Ziming posted a group photo of several people on Weibo.
[I finally met my favorite teacher Qi Ji, and got a huge surprise. (laughing)]
His snickering expression at the end seemed particularly meaningful.
The viewers who saw this Weibo post were all speculating.
"Congratulations to Teacher Pang, this is really a success in chasing stars!"
"Hahaha! As Teacher Qi Ji is the most active on Weibo, I finally met my idol offline!"
"What's going on? In my impression, the two of you shouldn't have anything to do with each other, right?"
"Hahaha! Is it because Teacher Pang's opponent in this round is Wang Piao, so he went to Teacher Qi Ji to find strategies??"
Pang Ziming was originally interested in "Blue and White Porcelain", and this song is certainly the best.
But after all, its popularity in China is too high.
The high popularity of the song means that many people have lost their sense of freshness about this song.
So after switching to a new song by Qi Ji, Pang Ziming's confidence really increased greatly.
Originally, he had only won three times in eight rounds, but he was seriously lacking in confidence when facing Wang Piao.
But this time, he fully believed in himself and had hope of defeating Wang Piao.
As for Qi Ji's opponent in this round, Wentai, as soon as the PK opponent came out, he sent a friendly Weibo message and circled Qi Ji.
"@祁记, brother, haven't you been using new songs before? I also want you to challenge this time. How about we let netizens formulate a theme for us, and then both of us will write about this theme.
Ge, what do you think about coming to the competition?"
Wentai's operation immediately aroused the approval of netizens.
"Haha! Teacher Wen, are you so domineering!"
"Fight!"
"If you specify a theme, it must not be love! Damn, I almost vomited listening to the bitter love songs in the Chinese music scene!"
"Will Teacher Qi Ji agree? He should have prepared all the songs for this round of competition. There are only a few days left. Next week, there will be a competition between Qi Ji and Wen Tai, right? Is it too late?"
"Half an hour has passed and there is no response from Qi Ji. Are they all so cold and cold?"
This Weibo post by Wen Tai seems to be putting Qi Ji on a grill.
Logically speaking, if you really want to do this with Qi Ji, you should contact him privately.
To post it directly on Weibo without informing him in advance is to kidnap Qi Ji morally.
If Qi Ji doesn't agree, there will definitely be a lot of buzz on the Internet.
But if you agree, how should the operation of the designated theme look like this?
The company, Qi Ji and the team are all here.
Gu Pingting said angrily: "That's too much. Should we agree or not?"
"I feel like the other side should have prepared a corresponding theme song, right??"
"Although we all know the strength of our boss, but being pushed away like this is really a bit bullying!"
Qi Ji typed on his notebook: "Gu Ping, please use my Weibo first and ask what the topic is."
"OK."
So on Weibo, Qi Ji directly forwarded Wen Tai's Weibo: "Teacher Wen, then... what is the theme?"
"???You won't agree, will you?"
"Wen Tai's operation was obviously prepared!"
"Don't be fooled! Prepare for the game at your own pace!"
Qi Ji's fans still care about him very much.
On the other side, I saw Qi Ji replying.
The Wentai team suddenly showed excited smiles.
"Hehe! Qi Ji is still young. This is not even a provocation, but he took the bait!"
"What can he do? If he doesn't agree and gives up, his popularity will be severely reduced!"
"Is this top-notch sadness? Hahaha!"
The reason why the Wentai team posted on Weibo to stir up trouble was because they knew Qi Ji would definitely agree.
After all, as a person who has been creating top-notch creative characters since his debut, Qi Ji would not even dare to accept this challenge.
Then what kind of top creator is he?
The Wentai team has long been prepared, if Qi Ji does not agree.
Then they will issue a press release to the entire network.
The content of the press release is also very simple, that is [Top creative geniuses are afraid to accept the challenge of new songs? Is this a collapse of the personality, or is it a lack of power?]
But now, Qi Ji agreed.
Naturally, the draft prepared by everyone will no longer be used.
But it’s good if you don’t use it anymore.
So Wentai replied on Weibo: "Just use the topic with the most likes under my last Weibo post!"
now.
Under Wentai's last Weibo post, the most liked Weibo comment is "Don't write love songs, I think it's great to write inspirational songs!"
This comment received more than 100,000 likes.
However, only Wentai's team knows how much of it contains water.
