Chapter 207 Things behind the scenes in the entertainment industry
After rehearsals, Li Hyuk also took time to visit the crew of "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost". He also agreed to Yang Zi to write a theme song for the TV series.
"I've already thought of a name for the theme song. How about it be called 'A Thousand Years Later'?" Li Hyuk asked.
"Have you finished writing? Sing a few lines for me to listen to." Yang Zi held her chin in anticipation.
"This isn't there yet, it's just a name. But little monkey, you've also become rich, and now you can organize a team and make TV shows. Don't forget each other even if you are rich or noble..." Li He said with a smile.
"Thank you. If I become rich, I will never forget you." Yang Zi rolled her eyes at Li He.
At this time, the male lead of the show, Deng, who replaced Li He, came in. Li He looked him up and down. Deng touched his face: "Is there a flower on my face?"
"Uh, um, don't forget to pay the tax. I'm leaving first!" Li He said and left without waiting for Yang Zi or Deng to react.
Deng, who was left confused, asked Yang Zi: "What did he mean when he told me not to forget to pay taxes?"
"How did I know..." Yang Zi rolled her eyes.
As July 15th approaches, the pre-sales of "Eight Dimensions of Space" have exceeded 3.5 million. Even before the album is officially released, the cost has been recouped and even a profit has been made.
However, this is the result of fans and listeners trusting Lee Hyuk. Because of the word-of-mouth effect accumulated from album to album and song to song, everyone has confidence in the quality of Lee Hyuk's albums and believes that pre-ordering the album will not be bad.
If other singers release albums, listeners will always have to wait for a while to see how the album is received before deciding whether to buy it or not.
Fan Noxuan and Li He analyzed that Li He's album sales potential has not reached the highest level because there are many people who would have paid for it if they did not buy the album.
Forget it was free sex, but he was not satisfied with Li Hyuk's behavior of selling albums and scolded Li Hyuk for being greedy for money. Why didn't the albums be free like Xu Song and Xue Zhiqian?
Fantasy Records and Fantasy Studios are too lazy to deal with people like this. A digital single is not expensive. A pack of cigarettes costing ten yuan a day can buy three songs for three yuan, and five songs for two.
The song of Yuan Qian.
Why do you say that cigarettes are a necessity and singing is not a necessity, then it’s up to you. I, Li He, am not inferior to the sales volume of your two albums. I will buy it or not.
People who want to listen to good songs but don’t want to spend money can say that the Chinese music scene has declined to this day, and listeners who are unwilling to spend money also have a certain responsibility.
Without income, which creator can still create with all their heart? Can they use love to generate electricity?
Naturally, Li Hyuk's fans and netizens who are willing to spend money to support genuine products will not be polite to such people, and such people are also in the minority.
But even if you really can’t afford the album, you can still go to Bilibili and watch the MV to enjoy it. Except that it can’t be played in the background, the effect is pretty good.
Everyone knows that Li Hyuk is one of the few singers who makes money by releasing albums. Even a popular singer like Hua Chenyu loses money by releasing albums, so many charities are targeting Li Hyuk.
In order to avoid being tainted with right and wrong, Fan Noxuan specifically told Li He not to pay attention to these so-called charities. Even if he wanted to donate money, he would do it himself.
China's charities are just tools to make money. There are too many to mention, but everyone who understands them understands them.
These charities became very angry when they saw Li Hyuk not letting them make money, and planned to discredit Li Hyuk in front of the media and kidnap him morally.
As a result, before any action was taken, Fantasy Records established a charitable foundation, which is independently operated and has open accounts. In addition to company donations, it will also accept donations from people from all walks of life.
Seeing this, the charity organization changed its tactics and planned to report Li He's company for making money through the charity foundation.
Then the first month's financial report of the Fantasy Records Charitable Foundation was made public online, accepting supervision from all walks of life.
Every account is traceable, including who donated money, what was bought, what was built, and whose hands it got to, all are recorded.
Such records are certainly cumbersome, but they block the mouths of other charities.
Didn’t you say that we make money through charitable foundations? We will show you our accounts, and if you have the ability, you can show it too.
How can those charitable foundations with bad intentions dare to do so? The public is only hearsay about making money, and there is no evidence.
If the accounts were made public, most charities would be investigated.
Fan Nuoxuan is very satisfied with the effect. Hum, if you want to make money from me, don’t even think about it in the next life...
This incident happened in May and June. Thanks to Fan Nuoxuan's intervention, Li He did not suffer any harassment. His contact information that others knew would be called on his manager's mobile phone.
Cheng Lixiang's rich coping methods are enough to block these bad news, allowing Li He to worry about his work with peace of mind.
Therefore, it is very important to have a loyal manager. You have not seen many artists who have fallen into the hands of their managers, and have even been cuckolded.
There once was an artist who was very popular and everyone was very optimistic about him, but later it was reported that he was addicted to drugs, which shocked the public.
As everyone knows, this artist was framed by his manager, who introduced him to a circle, and then he became addicted to drugs.
The entertainment industry is inherently a highly competitive industry, and there are countless ways of doing things secretly.
Therefore, the celebrity you think is a prostitute is not necessarily a prostitute, or it is not necessarily just him. He is just a scapegoat without the protection of a big boss.
From this point of view, Li Hyuk is very lucky, so lucky that people wonder if he is cheating. His development path is very smooth, and he has not been suppressed by any big boss, nor is there any rich woman in the industry in her fifties.
To support him.
Of course, other rich women may prefer people like Yuan Hua and Lu Xiaohan, and may not be too interested in Li He.
Without further ado, as the concert approaches, the flow of people from out of town coming to Shanghai suddenly increases. In addition to normal tourists, they also come for Li Hyuk's concert.
Seeing so many out-of-towners, Shanghai's local fans became anxious: "Fuck, please, don't come again, I won't be able to grab the fucking tickets."
"Why are there so many people here? It's not like other places are closed..."
"Brothers and sisters, please, I'm dying. Only a ticket to Li Hyuk's concert can save my life."
Foreign netizens did not give in at all. Although the tickets for the concert have not yet been sold, it is not bad to visit the spots in advance and have fun. Shanghai is a good tourist city in the first place.
Netizens almost started fighting over tickets to Li Hyuk's concert, which also gave some criminals an opportunity to take advantage of fans' eagerness to get tickets to Li Hyuk's concert and lied about having tickets in their hands.
Fraudulent large amounts of money.
More and more people have been fooled, and many netizens have shared their experiences online.
Seeing this situation, Fan Noxuan quickly contacted the local police in Shanghai and issued a statement that tickets for the album concert were not on sale yet.
Concert tickets will adopt a real-name purchase restriction system, and one real-name can purchase up to two concert tickets. Although scalpers are still inevitable, their scale will be much smaller.
To deal with scalpers, even with the development of electronic ticket purchasing systems, there are no good methods. Fantasy Records can only try its best to ensure that the rights and interests of fans are not lost.
The program "Tomorrow's Son" is also continuing to be popular. It is one of the most popular talent shows this year. Penguin Video has attracted a lot of traffic.
Next door, iQiyi saw Penguin making a lot of money and was naturally not happy. It also launched its own talent show project called "Idol Producer".
After Li Hyuk learned the name of this show from Penguin, he couldn't help blurting out: "Is my chicken brother finally here?"
