Before the official release of the new album, Li Qing began to make variety show announcements in North America under the arrangement of BGM.
Although Li Qing is already well-known in Europe and the United States, and his masterpiece "Baby" is even more popular throughout Europe and the United States, not many people in the public know Li Qing because he rarely makes public appearances.
Coupled with the fact that he has a yellow face, when Li Qing appeared in several variety shows, he did not attract the attention of people at the scene.
Except for a few fans of Li Qing, ordinary people may just take a glance at him and dismiss him as a third- and fourth-tier artist just going through the motions.
Even after the host introduced Li Qing's identity, it seemed to be of no avail.
However, this phenomenon suddenly changed when Li Qing was assigned a song "baby" or "you-are-not-alone".
People were shocked to discover that this Asian boy was the popular singer who often appeared on TV and radio recently.
For a moment, the scene was boiling.
"Baby" is one of the most popular songs nowadays, but "you-are-not-alone" is the first time people heard it live.
When Li Qing's singing sounded along with the music, the audience was immediately immersed in the gentle singing, and then ignored Li Qing's skin color, nationality, and even any flaws.
Only the song that can redeem the soul is all that people can touch at that moment.
At the same time, under the host's praise, Li Qing's title of "Father of Harry Potter" was also revealed, which caused a roar of applause from the audience. This was an expression of respect for this famous writer, and also
Let people focus on Li Qing again.
American variety shows usually invite multiple artists to participate in announcements for each show. Li Qing's performance that has become a blockbuster without even making a comment has made the artists who originally didn't care much about Li Qing or even looked down upon him open their mouths.
In the European and American artist circles, the name Leesin was definitely not unfamiliar during this period, it was even well-known.
This is the man hiding behind singer Taylor Masefield.
People have only heard of him but never met him. Almost all the first-tier singers in the entertainment industry want to cooperate with him. Not long ago, Karl, the king of top-tier European and American singers, publicly expressed his appreciation and praise for Li Qing to the media.
The words are even more expressive, and the purpose is naturally obvious.
Not only is every one of Li Qing's works a hit and everyone is satisfied, but the quality of his works is definitely something that makes all singers jealous.
Every singer has more or less business contacts with BGM through their agent, but in the end they all come to nothing and disappear, which makes people even more curious about the mystery of Li Qing.
Li Qing's exposure rate is not too high. If it were not specially introduced, people would definitely not associate the legendary leesin with Li Qing.
This is true even when the song "baby" is introduced.
There are so many singers in more than ten countries in Europe and the United States, and many of their songs are also called "baby". Without humming a few lines, it would be difficult for people to connect the popular "baby" on the Internet with the Asian in front of them.
But Li Qing's identity was finally exposed, and the broadcast effect was very good. The subsequent ratings showed that people still liked to see this Asian singer appear in variety shows, even if the jokes he told did not seem to be funny at all.
In many programs, when Li Qing's identity was exposed, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.
People's surprise and cheers also made the experienced directors understand the direction of the market in an instant.
As a result, the interviews with other artists were compressed to the extreme, while Li Qing's footage was extended indefinitely.
Perhaps it is precisely because the entertainment industry in Europe and the United States is so developed that the ratings of many variety shows are almost the same. Each program can capture a certain share of ratings and can support each crew.
But truly national entertainment programs are not common.
There are basically no phenomenal programs like "If You Are the One" in China.
So Li Qing had an idea. Is it possible to do a variety show in the United States?
This idea was rejected by Li Qing as soon as it came up.
The truly popular variety shows in the United States are basically related to professions from all walks of life, such as wrestling, makeup, music and natural sciences. Most of these shows have a long life and good profits.
The programs with the highest ratings are just talk shows, and the invited guests include people from all walks of life such as industry, commerce, agriculture, and politics. Even the President of the United States has participated in similar talk shows.
For example, programs such as "I Am a Singer" and "The Masked Singer" are not too new among various talent shows in the United States. However, if "If You Are the One" is moved to Europe and the United States, it seems to be a good idea.
choose.
Dating programs are still very new on screens in Europe and the United States.
But the thought just crossed his mind. If Li Qing wanted to copy the domestic production model, it would obviously be a waste.
You know, almost all the major TV stations in the United States are controlled by the top six film and television production companies. Unless Li Qing can buy a TV station, otherwise, there is basically not much possibility to insert his own programs, unless the copyright
Hand it over.
But in this case, what's the use of all this hard work?
In the end, it is just a dowry for others.
Furthermore, he currently does not have the funds or ability to control any TV station in the United States.
After participating in the recording of many popular variety shows and talk shows, on December 23, Li Qing took a plane from Los Angeles to New York and arrived at the headquarters of Barnes & Noble.
Following Li Qing, in addition to Han Han and others, there were also BGM general manager Victor, and Li Qing's agent in Europe and the United States, Ronald Poli.
Ronald is an American and has just turned 40 this year.
But he has been working in the industry since he was twenty-five years old. He first worked as a production editor at Fox TV and had a lot of contacts. Later he resigned from Fox. After several changes, he joined IM and became an agent under the company.
Specializes in developing markets for responsible artists.
im, the "International Innovation Management Company", one of the three major entertainment brokerage companies in the United States, has more than 170 well-known brokers.
im is one of the only three "ten percent" agencies in Hollywood.
It means that he dares to charge 10% commission from the customer's income, which shows his tyranny and high status.
im is also the only one among the three major Hollywood brokerage companies that dares to have the word "international" in the company name, and this word is not just for appearance. They are very good at elite international business, with offices in London, Paris, Madrid and Rome.
office to help its stars expand into international markets.
The mid-1990s was IM's most glorious period. The company's annual revenue exceeded US$100 million and it had many world-class superstars. Among them, Charlie Houston, the manager of superstar singer Carl Rowell in the European and American music circles, once belonged to this company.
.
But later on, as many agents changed jobs, the company's economic ability went from bad to worse, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, from the perspective of the industry, IM is still the leading brokerage giant in the entertainment industry.
There are not many independent agents as capable and reputable as Julia in the industry. Therefore, after careful consideration, BGM finally chose to cooperate with IM and selected Ronald Poli among many agents.
Let him be responsible for all Li Qing's business in the European and American entertainment circles.
Of course, the price is also high. Li Qing has to give 10% of the notification fees he earns to IM.
Ronald has worked with many international superstars. His last client was Haley Nancy, who has won 11 Grammy Awards and was named the most popular solo female singer in the world. Last year, Hailey Nancy
Leigh even topped the Billboard 200 album chart.
In the middle of this year, Hailey held her wedding to the famous film director Jerry and entered the period of pregnancy, so Ronald was idle and was eventually selected by BGM to become Li Qing's agent.
There is no doubt about Ronald's ability. Li Qing's announcements in the past month have been almost all communicated by him.
But Ronald often sighed.
If Li Qing hadn't refused, Ronald would have really hoped that Li Qing could participate in the most popular American show "Into the Wild" and follow professional soldiers and escape experts to experience wild adventures with Lauren.
This is a scene that Ronald wants to see in his lifetime. He is a loyal fan of this show.
If his last client Haili hadn't been a female singer, he might have arranged for the client to participate in this show.
Although "Into the Wild" has been the most watched program in the country for many times, Li Qing did not agree immediately. He did not want to suffer these inexplicable sufferings for Ronald Mazu's selfish desires, even if the entire program
The program ranked first in the country in ratings, so there was no need for it, so the proposal was eventually dropped.
On December 24, the day the new album was released, at eight o'clock in the morning, under Ronald's arrangement, Li Qing and others took a stretched Rolls-Royce and drove all the way from the five-star hotel where they settled.
Barnes & Noble Bookstore Main Store.
Here, Li Qing will hold a press conference for his new album "Baby", as well as an on-site autograph signing event——
