After Tony Lane took the initiative to come to China to seek the copyright for "Phantom of the Opera", Little Yellow Fish sent Yi Zheng and Xu Beihong to Broadway in the United States for business exchanges with some footage of the musical "Phantom of the Opera".
Although the video does not have the experience of being there in person, it still amazed many Broadway theater managers.
Especially in terms of music, the theme song of "Phantom of the Opera" is so eerie and chilling that it makes all moviegoers feel numb.
However, I am amazed. In terms of cooperation intention, it is obvious that these people are not as strong as Tony, a client who has been present at the scene.
Among them, the main reason is that although major theater giants have shown their intention to introduce it.
But because there is no shortage of classic works under its banner, the conditions offered are not attractive enough.
At least for Liao Yuan, this is indeed the case.
As for the Lane family behind Tony, although it was indeed glorious a hundred years ago, in modern times, the Lane family has still declined from twenty-seven theaters a hundred years ago to seven theaters today.
On the entire more than 20 kilometers of Broadway, there is not much say at all.
Over the past few decades, the theater's production copyrights and twenty theaters have been sold off by prodigal sons of the older generation. By the time Tony took over, it was a miracle that the theater could survive without filing for bankruptcy.
Such a theater owner has a strong desire to survive, so after receiving the story from his daughter Delia, he flew all the way to China.
After watching the entire "Phantom of the Opera", even if the language is different, the music is connected.
Coupled with the combing of the plot, Tony seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
From the initial enthusiasm, to the lowering of the attitude, to the final begging, and even being willing to make many unequal treaties on the musical "Phantom of the Opera", only then did he have the opportunity to meet Liao Yuan again.
.
In fact, Tony did not have any extra money to buy "Phantom of the Opera", so he had to give up a huge profit in terms of share. The final share contract signed was almost 6:4, valid for three years.
Year.
As for the small yellow croaker, it alone gets 37% of the final profit share.
As for Tony's Lane Theater, although it has 63%, after excluding various operations, actor training, props and facilities, etc., if Tony can finally get 10% or 20% of the profit, it will be very good.
In this regard, other theaters on Broadway are quite stingy, only giving Liao Yuan 10% of the profit at most, which is why Liao Yuan chose Tony.
Of course Liao Yuan doesn't think that "Phantom of the Opera" can bring a theater back to life. After all, there are only seven Lane Theaters on Broadway. This is the basis. No matter how popular "Phantom of the Opera" is, it won't make much money. Everything needs to be lukewarm.
Boil the frog, take your time.
And in the follow-up, if the cooperation goes well, he will come up with more excellent scripts.
As for whether we will continue to cooperate with the Lane Theater, we can only see the subsequent performance of the Lane Theater.
If the Lane Theater gets bigger, that's great, but if it doesn't, that's okay.
At present, he just needs the Lane Theater as a springboard to build the reputation of "Phantom of the Opera" overseas. In other words, to build his own reputation overseas.
Although the great pianist Liao Yuan is well-known in the international music scene, he has only just started in drama creation.
Just like the giants of Broadway, even if they knew that the script and theme song of "The Phantom of the Opera" were composed by Liao Yuan, they didn't care much.
Because they almost have the best musical screenwriters and composers in the world, and they also own musical copyrights that have accumulated for hundreds of years. This is the basis of their confidence. Therefore, even if they miss one or two excellent scripts, they will not let it go.
They are willing to put down their posture and negotiate.
But Tony is different. He is almost breathless under the pressure of real life. If he doesn't come to China to embrace Liao Yuan, he will follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and sell the opera house to make money.
The pressure of life.
After the overseas copyright of "Phantom of the Opera" was sold, the Kyoto Opera House, at Liao Yuan's request, also sent professionals to the United States for drama guidance, striving to make "Phantom of the Opera" famous on Broadway as quickly as possible.
For Zhou Yijun, the bigger the reputation of "Phantom of the Opera" is, the better.
Anyway, he is the agent in China District, and the popularity feedback from overseas is transmitted to the country, and he also makes a lot of money here.
On the other hand, after half a year, Hong Kong singing queen Ai Shi finally bought the cover rights of the song "Light Years Away".
And in mid-May, the single ep "Light Years Away" was officially released.
This move caused another shock in the music world, and the famous scene once again occupied the top ten for three consecutive days on the hot search list.
As one of the top diva-level female singers in the Hong Kong music scene, Ai Shi's performance of "Light Years Away" became even more outstanding in the later stage of the soundtrack adjustment.
Compared with Liao Yuan's version, Ai Shi's version of "Light Years Away" incorporates the most popular contemporary instruments, and because it is a song specially recorded in a recording studio, after various tuning modifications, Ai Shi's singing voice is
He seems more magnetic than Liao Yuan and is more loved by fans.
However, the price of buying this song is not something that ordinary singers can afford. In addition to the basic price of one million, it also comes with many hidden benefits.
For example, in the recent concert tour, Little Yellow Fish's singer Song Baining appeared as a guest on "Once Upon a Time" several times, gaining a huge popularity in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Mainland China.
In addition, Liao Meiqi from Lucky Girl 101 also made an appearance in the Mainland. This was obviously for Liao Yuan's sake.
The second hit of "Light Years Away" has once again focused the attention of the music world on Liao Yuan. Countless first- and second-tier singers, such as Zhan Minghan, Zhao Ya and other singers, have appeared on Weibo several times.
I made a public announcement on the blog, hoping to have the honor of singing Liao Yuan's works.
Even Zhang Henge went out in person, using language to express his expectations for cooperation with Liao Yuan, both overtly and covertly.
But all the confessions were in vain, and there was no reply from the person involved, Liao Yuan.
This made the media circle curious about Liao Yuan's net worth.
How much money does Liao Yuan have to be so unmoved by the kneeling and licking of these first- and second-tier singers?
It didn’t take long for the media to start questioning Liao Yuan’s income from all aspects since his debut.
Among them, the overall winner of the One Emperor and Four Emperors International Piano Competition will be awarded 10 million.
After the competition, in terms of advertising revenue, he earned nearly 60 million from endorsements of **l speakers, Huaxing flagship mobile phone, Moutai Prince Liquor, China Merchants Bank e-banking, Steinway pianos, Jiuxing bathroom and other brands.
The concert tour made more than three million.
J station and other major authorized websites’ traffic revenue is 7 million.
The revenue from the novel "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp", including its film and television adaptation, has exceeded RMB 30 million.
The variety show "Love Travel" costs 2 million per issue.
The derivative fees from the copyrights of "Signal", "The Tuner" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are nearly 20 million.
Plus other miscellaneous song copyright fees, performance labor fees, etc...
On the first anniversary of his debut, Liao Yuan easily earned 140 million yuan before tax. This is just a conservative estimate.
After all, Liao Yuan seems to have no interest in touching the most lucrative commercial performances, concerts or concerts for artists.
Throughout the year, in addition to performing commercial performances for the endorsed brands, there were only sixteen concerts, which was far from the work frequency that a regular artist or musician should have.
.
However, although he is not doing his job properly, Liao Yuan's earning speed has not slowed down at all.
In fact, there are two brokerage companies under his name, namely Xiaoyellow Fish Brokerage Company and Xinyuan Brokerage Company.
One of the two companies focuses on cultivating artists in the music industry, and the other focuses on cultivating artists in the film industry.
Although it seems to be a small effort, it is not a problem to easily earn tens of millions in annual turnover. If Liao Meiqi's two-year contract with the South China Brokerage Company expires, her subsequent brokerage income will also be
Welcome to the surge!
In one year, he made hundreds of millions of yuan. Even in the entire entertainment industry, this rate of making money is comparable to that of first-line artists, and even exceeds that of many.
Of course, there is still a gap between them and the top super first-line artists, but there are only a handful of such artists in the entire circle, and they are the ones who stand at the top of the pyramid.
This made the industry finally sigh and understand why Liao Yuan is particularly reluctant to sell his works.
They are not short of money!
Just as the public was feeling emotional, the new episode of "Love Travel" was aired.
Donghai, an apartment.
Xi Yun sat in front of the TV again. Although she was wearing a loose bathrobe, there was no expression on her entire little face, and her well-maintained skin was tight.
At this moment, her eyes were as bright as a torch, as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
Soon, along with the opening music of "Love Travel", the familiar handsome face appeared on the screen again.
"Going to Japan?"
"Yes, I had a phone call with you last week. Have you brought your passport? Ms. Lin Weiyin is participating in the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It has reached a critical juncture and she urgently needs a boyfriend to help her.
She’s cheering me up.”
Xi Yun bit her lip when she heard the conversation between Liao Yuan and the director.
She remembered her time in high school,
That day, Liao Yuan participated in a youth piano competition in the provincial capital. She secretly asked for leave from her class teacher and ran to the competition venue alone to cheer for Liao Yuan.
At that time, the uncle next to me smiled and asked myself, why do I like Liao Yuan?
She proudly said: "Liao Yuan is my boyfriend, of course I must support him!"
The uncle smiled, very happily.
Xi Yun still remembers her proud look at that time. Later she learned the uncle's name.
His name is Liao Yuemin, Liao Yuan's father.
Every time she thinks of this incident, Xi Yun feels ashamed.
But today, she felt pain in her chest...
On TV, Liao Yuan heard about Lin Weiyin's competition in Japan and immediately bought a flight with the closest flight time and flew directly to Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
On the plane, the director asked Liao Yuan a question: "Do you want to prepare a gift? If Lin Weiyin wins first place."
"Gift?"
Liao Yuan thought for a long time, suddenly thought of something, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Is a watch okay? I seem to have a similar watch at home, but it is much smaller, for ladies."
The director looked at Liao Yuan's watch, his eyes lit up, and he joked: "Couple's watch? Why did you buy a couple's watch? Could it be..."
"Stop guessing, it's just for fun." Liao Yuan said with a smile.
The director pretended to be surprised and said "Oh."
In front of the TV.
Xi Yun felt a heavy blow to her chest, and she gasped in pain.
She remembered that watch.
That year, Liao Yuan came to Donghai Media College to report. When he found her in the crowd, he happily took out this gift...
"Can you stay away from me? I don't want to see you. Let me tell you, I already have a boyfriend. You should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Xi Yun still clearly remembers what she said.
At that time, Liao Yuan was standing there, carrying a thick mountaineering bag and pushing a super-large suitcase. Then, amidst the wanton laughter of the people around him, his face turned pale and frightening.
"If only then..."
Xi Yun took out the tissue on the table and blew her nose while crying: "Why should I say that!"
How cool I looked when I spoke back then, how embarrassed I look when I cry now.
"Love Travel" continues to play...
When Liao Yuan met Minamino Junichi by chance in Hamamatsu City, and later chatted and laughed side by side with Lin Weiyin on the streets of Hamamatsu City, the sweetness that almost overflowed the screen made all the viewers in front of the TV feel...
Excited and excited.
All of the people who are riding horses are solo and have been single for thousands of years. But when I watch someone fall in love, I get so excited that I feel like I am in love...
And in various scenes, he seriously criticized the relationship progress of both men and women, gave advice to Jiangshan, scolded Fang Qiu, and turned into a love expert. He wished he could teach Liao Yuan how to hook up, and teach Lin Weiyin how to turn passivity into initiative...
Finally, the plot is halfway through.
When the Hamamatsu International Competition began the next morning, and Lin Weiyin played beautifully, adapting to the ever-changing changes with stability, fully demonstrating the style of an international grand pianist, all the singles in front of the TV were moved.
This is the real goddess!
I can't compare to those seductive bitches in the entertainment industry who wear heavy makeup!
But unfortunately, Lin Weiyin ultimately lost and ended up in second place.
All the viewers in front of the TV were shocked, and then felt incomprehensible sadness and indignation. Their performance was almost the same as that of the audience at the scene. They all felt that the judges favored local contestants.
And what makes people even more angry is yet to come...
"I think the judges' decision is very fair. If everyone here is dissatisfied, you can come up and challenge it! If no one comes to challenge it, then please accept the fact!"
When Tokugawa Seimei, who won first place, stood on the performance stage with great arrogance and said these words...
Angry!
angry!
Furious!
All the spectators were gnashing their teeth and wanted to immediately step forward and tear Tokugawa Seimei's big mouth open.
At this moment, the camera image immediately began to zoom up, quickly advancing from the stage to the audience seats.
In the slightly blurry footage, director Qu Liangwei said in surprise: "Liao Yuan, does he mean that the audience present are trash?"
"Let me tell you, I'm not a troublemaker, but for this matter, if you just scold me, forget it..."——
