Chapter 87 The battle for the top spot on the hot song chart
the next day.
Liang Yusong called: "Doctor Chen introduced two Dongyin professors who are willing to help you record the accompaniment of guzheng and pipa. However, there is no time to rehearse, so I can only record one version of the accompaniment master tape. Do you have time today? If so, I will
Come over here."
Fang Xing received the call and immediately rushed to Pine Rock Records.
When we arrived at the company, our agents Qiao Yinghong and Li Caiwei were already helping to receive the two Dongyin professors.
After Fang Xing met two professors from the Folk Music Department of Donghai Conservatory of Music, he shook hands with them enthusiastically and then accompanied them to record in the recording studio.
The musical instruments of the two professors were all brought from school, and they looked like performance-grade instruments at first glance.
Fang Xing and Liang Yusong wore headphones in the recording studio and listened to the two professors playing guzheng and pipa live.
After listening, they looked at each other and gave a thumbs up.
Both professors are masters in this field, so the recording process was very smooth, and it was basically passable in one go.
However, for the later mixing effect, it was recorded twice more.
After recording the guzheng and pipa accompaniment, Fang Xing and Li Caiwei personally sent the two professors back to school.
…
The next week entered an intense rehearsal stage.
Because of the songs prepared this time, there is a B5 super high-pitched singing and a difficult water sleeve dance.
Both tasks must be completed by Li Caiwei.
Moreover, dancing and singing need to be performed together, which is very difficult.
In the first two days, Li Caiwei's rehearsal results were not good.
The water sleeve dance is very physically demanding, and jumping to the middle will affect the stability of the performance.
After trying it a few times, Fang Xing suggested: "How about letting the dance teacher dance."
Li Caiwei lowered her head and was silent for a long time, insisting: "Give me another two days, and I will definitely meet your requirements. I have really lost my Peking Opera skills for too many years, so I am a little rusty. Give me another two days, and if it still doesn't work, give me another day."
Here comes the dance teacher."
Fang Xing saw something called determination in her eyes and agreed, "Okay, I'll give you two more days."
From that day on, Li Caiwei had a separate training room and practiced this water sleeve dance day and night.
…
When the program team was nervously preparing to form a group to sprint for the night.
The battle on the music charts is becoming increasingly fierce.
Every time "Nocturne" advances by one place, approaching "The Young and the Restless", Chaoyin Culture spends a lot of money to promote the charts, and at the same time incites fans to raise funds to promote the charts.
When there is a strong enemy, fans' enthusiasm for crowdfunding and ranking is very intense.
When "Nocturne" rushed to the third place on the hot song chart.
Fans of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen went crazy on the charts, directly pushing "Young and Frivolous" to the top of the hot song list.
For this reason, fans of the two companies had a carnival on Weibo and short video platforms.
There are comments and comments everywhere about "The Young and the Flirty" reaching the top of the hot song charts.
However, not even three hours have passed, and "Nocturne" has moved up one spot, reaching the second spot on the hot song list.
Moreover, the hot song chart index of "Nocturne" is still rising rapidly.
Getting closer and closer to "The Young and the Restless".
Fans of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen were in danger of being overtaken again not long after their party.
Fans are clamoring online for help in voting and ranking.
However, the amount of money spent has been astronomical.
Moreover, the hot song chart index of "Young and Frivolous" is very abnormal.
The hot song chart index, best-selling value and playback value of "Nocturne" exceeded 1:12.
This means that listeners who purchased "Nocturne" played the song 12 times on average.
However, the sales value of "The Young and the Restless" is higher than the broadcast value.
This means that the average listener who bought "Young and Flirty" played it less than once.
If we also calculate the data of fans' 24-hour single cycle, the playback value will only be more distorted than what we see now.
…
The operation department of Chaoyin Culture.
The director of the operations department took Liu Rongxuan, the director of the artist department, to meet the big boss He Hongtu.
"Chairman, the budget for "The Young and the Restless" is no longer enough." The director of the operations department said bravely.
He Hongtu frowned and asked displeasedly: "Didn't we just approve 20 million last week?"
The director of the operations department replied helplessly: "We have almost spent all the money, and "The Young and the Restless" has also reached the top. According to the results, the ranking effect this time is not bad."
"Isn't this great? The song has already reached the top, so why apply for funding?" He Hongtu has so many things to do every day and has no interest in paying attention to the music chart.
The operations director gave Liu Rongxuan a nudge.
Liu Rongxuan had no choice but to help explain: "The hot song chart index of "Nocturne" has increased rapidly. If the budget is not increased, it may be surpassed by "Nocturne" tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone, opened the hot music chart, and pushed it in front of He Hongtu for him to see.
He Hongtu glanced at it, frowned and said displeasedly: "Why is it Fang Xing again? Can't you think of another way? After spending so much money, can't you even suppress a song? Do some promotion, come on
We promoted our songs on the show.”
The operations director replied helplessly: "Chairman, the index of the hot song chart of "Nocturne" is growing too fast. There has not been such a powerful song in the past three years.
"We have used the highest level of promotion strategies, but our songs still cannot stand up to Fang Xing's two songs.
"Moreover, Fang Xing's song "Wild Bird" has surpassed our song "We Are Coming" and reached sixth place.
"If the budget is not increased, 'Young and the Flirty' may not be able to maintain its No. 1 spot on the hit song chart."
He Hongtu pondered for a moment and asked: "How much funding do you think it will take to stay at the top of the hot song chart?"
"It depends on how long the chairman wants to be stable." The operations director did not answer directly.
"Being stable until the final camp finals of "Tomorrow's Star" is over." He Hongtu set a goal.
The operations director's expression froze and he stretched out a finger: "If it is to be stable for so long, it must be at least this number."
"Ten million? That's okay!" He Hongtu gritted his teeth and prepared to pay for it.
"no……"
The operations director quickly added: "Chairman, if you can survive until the finals of "Tomorrow's Stars", you will have to dominate the rankings for four weeks and earn at least 100 million."
He Hongtu's eyes widened and he cursed: "I want to whip you!"
Seeing that the big boss was angry, the operations director quickly explained: "The main reason is that there are still four episodes of "Tomorrow's Star", that is, four weeks.
"This is to make "Young and Frivolous" dominate the music chart for four weeks, even if it is not 100 million, it will be at least 70 to 80 million.
"Furthermore, this is just an operating expense. After it is spent, part of the money will be earned through the playback and sales of the songs.
“In addition, we have special ranking channels, which can reduce the cost of ranking, and the loss will not exceed 30% in the end.
"There are also crowdfunding by fans and the income from "The Young and the Restless" itself. In the end, this expense can almost be wiped out."
Entertainment companies spending money to promote rankings cannot be taken advantage of.
Of course, you have to make money before you spend money on rankings.
However, Chaoyin Culture’s operations department has already calculated it.
If He Hongtu's goal is to let "Young and Frivolous" dominate the music chart for four weeks, it will cost a lot of money.
The so-called ability to smooth out this amount of funds is only the result of preliminary calculations by the operations department.
It's hard to say whether you will make a profit or a loss in the end.
If the response to "The Young and the Restless" is not good and the final profit is not high, it is likely to cause the project to lose money, and a loss can amount to tens of millions.
He Hongtu opened a company to make money, not to burn it.
If you can't use it to make money by throwing money at it, then what's the use of it?
He Hongtu pondered for a moment and asked: "Are there any other plans? The company is not spending money to make you lose money."
The operations director replied: "Then we can only publish a moderate amount of rankings. If the operating expenses exceed the red line, stop immediately. This is the safest way."
He Hongtu pondered for a moment and said: "Then cut more leeks on the fans. I think the fans of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen are still very loyal. Give the fans tasks and organize the fans to do more rankings."
"Even if "The Young and the Restless" is surpassed by "Nocturne", it doesn't matter. We can just take this opportunity to incite the fans' emotions."
The operations director nodded and agreed: "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
After the operations director leaves.
He Hongtu glared at Liu Rongxuan with an unhappy expression and said, "If Fang Xing had been signed from the beginning, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."
Liu Rongxuan complained in his heart and said to himself: When I said before that I would sign a platinum contract before Xing Xing, you didn't agree with it either.
