Chapter 308: Rescue the market (seeking a monthly ticket)
Zheng Qian's words were powerful, but the meaning he expressed was very simple.
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there have been more than 100 countries on this earth, but no country is worthy of being called Big Brother.
Although in the later stages, there were too many conflicts between us.
But I still appreciate your initial help to us.
Brother, have a good trip——
Don't come back.
I will burn an eagle sauce for you next year.
…
Everyone was shocked by Zheng Qian's words, and when they came back to their senses, they were both laughing and crying.
"Very good, our ideas are the same, so from now on, we are comrades."
The female comrade in military uniform was very pleased. She stepped forward and gave Zheng Qian a slap on the arm, and then patted Zheng Qian's shoulder hard twice to express her expectations.
Zheng Qian was surprised by the other party's cheerfulness and nodded and smiled.
At the same time, because of this speech, many people present looked at Zheng Qian with admiration.
This seemed to be the first time Zheng Qian expressed his views in public. Even Lou Ze was very satisfied with Zheng Qian's statement.
This guy is always like this, refreshing his expectations for him again and again.
Ding Yulong looked at Zheng Qian for a while, then turned his head and said to Lou Ze: "The song "Katyusha" has extraordinary significance in Comrade Zheng Qian's remarks. I will truthfully convey it to my superiors.
I believe that the organization will soon decide whether to adopt this song. At the same time, I am also very happy that there are comrades in our team who dare to speak the truth..."
These words are almost enough to give Zheng Qian a certificate for his statement just now.
Of course, Lou Ze was also very happy and quickly replaced Zheng Qian with a humble expression.
Next, the students of the Military Art Symphony Orchestra left.
On the way back, everyone was very excited and discussed what Zheng Qian had just said.
"I never realized that Brother Qian and I have such close views on each other before!"
"I feel the same way as those words! The Soviet Union is indeed the only country that helps other countries build a complete industrial system."
"I couldn't agree more. If Brother Qian was my professional idol before, then now Brother Qian is my spiritual idol!"
"What Brother Qian said made my blood boil. Although I didn't understand it, I felt it was very powerful."
"Translation means: The Soviet Union lives in the heart of every Su Chui, but if the Soviet Union wants to be resurrected, they will be the first ones to rush forward and press the coffin board."
"Haha! Absolutely awesome!"
…
The next day, news came from the honor guard of the three armed forces that they would commandeer the song "Katyusha".
Zheng Qian also received a call from Wang Chuanjun immediately, saying that his superiors had praised him and that the song "Katyusha" had gained extraordinary meaning after Zheng Qian's interpretation yesterday.
So this song will be sung by the honor guard of the three armed forces when they go to the military parade on Red Square in Moscow.
Zheng Qian, the deputy director of the creative studio, in addition to being notified of the commendation, also received a creative reward of 5,000 yuan.
better than nothing.
A few days later, the superiors began to send people to review the four pieces of music prepared by the Military Art Symphony Orchestra.
The students performed very well, and each of them took the most serious attitude to face this test.
Finally, after many repeated discussions, two of them were decided on.
The first song is "Breath and Life", which is also called "Breath and Life". This piece of music has a majestic melody, which is similar to the song "Victory", and there is also a chant in it, but it is not difficult. The choir's
The students are completely competent.
The second song is "Empire of Angels", which is a pure symphony with some anti-war emotions.
Now that the two pieces of music to be performed have been decided, the team then focused on practicing these two pieces of music.
Zheng Qian doesn't even need to participate.
Although both pieces of music were written by him, there was no room for him to be used in the performance.
Zheng Qian also felt at ease, and even felt that he did not need to go to Moscow.
This is good, it also allows him to concentrate on his work.
For example, the release of a new album, the second Asian concert tour, etc.
Universal Music has urged this matter countless times, and music director Wan Feng has sent emails more than 20 times. However, Zheng Qian has been touring in Europe during this time.
After coming back, I accepted the task of touring Moscow's Red Square non-stop, and had very little time to be busy with other things.
In addition, the continuation of "The Three-Body Problem" is also imminent.
During this period, as the interruption time of "Three-Body" became more and more outrageous, Trisolaris believers around the world united and formed an inexplicable organization to urge updates - "Science Frontier".
Zheng Qian did some research during this time and was shocked. Not only was the website established, but the elegance of the page surpassed 99% of the websites on the market.
The number of members worldwide is as high as four to five thousand. Regardless of the small number, it is entirely because of the membership limit.
Therefore, "Science Frontier" rejects about 80% of ordinary readers and only retains the elite of the elite.
They come from all walks of life. Of course, due to market orientation, these members generally come from Europe and the United States.
Especially after "The Three-Body Problem" was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel, it became famous, and more and more people joined the "Science Frontier" organization to promote updates.
The Frontier of Science has therefore become a holy place in the minds of many ordinary Three Body readers.
After Zheng Qian returned, he immediately started writing the continuation of "The Three-Body Problem", and nearly half of the second part "Dark Forest" has been written.
In fact, if you work hard, you can complete it in half a month.
But of course Zheng Qian will not force himself like this, so he expects to have to wait another month or two to officially complete the manuscript.
If it goes on the market, it is estimated that it will have to wait until August.
As for the company-invested movies such as "Crazy Stone" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine," he also needs to be involved. Zheng Qian needs to bring up some familiar scenes and scenes in his memory on the spot, so that the film will not be similar to his previous life.
Many deviations.
Therefore, instead of going to Moscow, Zheng Qian was freed up to take care of his own affairs.
During this time, he really devoted himself wholeheartedly to the country.
It is gratifying to win honor for the motherland, but he also has to have his own life.
Who would have thought that as soon as this idea came up, Lou Ze would hurry up and bring the latest news.
The Moscow State Conservatory of Music sent a letter to invite Zheng Qian to write lyrics for "Soviet March"——
Because the Military Art Symphony Orchestra made this "Soviet March" popular when it was on tour!
A professor from the Moscow State Academy heard this piece of music and was deeply moved and inspired. He wanted to write lyrics for this piece of music. However, considering that the piece of music was written by a Chinese, he specially communicated with the officials of the military art academy.
.
I don’t know how to communicate, so the final task of writing lyrics fell on Zheng Qian.
"The dean of the Moscow State Conservatory of Music is a former classmate of my father. He called me personally... How is it? Are you sure?"
Lou Ze said with great interest: "I think you can do it. Of course, if not, I will refuse."
What else could Zheng Qian say?
He could only nod and said: "You can give it a try, but I may not have much time recently."
"Well, I know you are very busy with your own affairs. It doesn't matter. Just be busy with your own affairs. Even if you can't write it down, it doesn't matter. It's not a call from the president, so don't take it seriously." Lou Ze said very freely.
Zheng Qian was speechless.
The dean of the Moscow State Conservatory of Music is almost as high in Russia as the dean of military arts.
Of course, it is incomparable to the status of the president.
Lou Ze added: "But are you sure you don't want to consider this Red Square military parade? Not everyone can have this opportunity."
Zheng Qian shook his head: "I still won't go."
He has his own considerations. Recently, he has been shining so brightly. His achievements in the European tour are still spread by word of mouth and talked about. Even when fans have conflicts with other idols, they will refer to this matter.
You talk about it to show off, but many people dare to get angry and dare not speak out.
If I can go to Moscow to participate in the military parade with the leaders this time, I will really become the target of public criticism.
Sometimes you fly too high and the target is too conspicuous, and you may become a target.
For example, I was falsely accused of changing my nationality some time ago. Fortunately, there are traces to follow, and it was solved perfectly in the end. However, if a larger force accidentally makes a mistake, it is likely to be expanded indefinitely by someone with ulterior motives.
.
It’s not unreasonable for the Chinese to pay attention to keeping things secret.
Of course, modest fans are basically organized and disciplined. They can all get in touch with Mao Miaorui and even Ren Xin, so the behavior of "fans act and idols pay for it" does not happen. However, some stragglers who claim to be modest fans do
Will deliberately stir up trouble everywhere.
Zheng Qian's rise has blocked many people's financial opportunities. Similar to Li Dongtian, Gao Sheng and others, Zheng Qian has even offended mobile communications - if Zheng Qian hadn't been the first to ask for the ringtone share, other original works
The crowd started to attack, and the mobile ring back tones business "lost" a lot of copyright fees.
They just dared to be angry and dare not speak out because of Zheng Qian's background and identity.
On the surface, you may be polite and respectful, but behind your back, you may seize an opportunity to do something stupid.
Zheng Qian's change of nationality incident would never have been such a big deal without some people behind it. With a small agent, it would have been impossible.
Therefore, although Zheng Qian has temporarily achieved some achievements in this industry, he still cannot take it lightly.
The exposure rate of civilian cadres is too high, which can be said to be dancing on the edge of a knife.
In the past few decades, no civilian cadre has had the momentum that Zheng Qian has now.
As if cheating, he quickly became a top player in just one year.
Such momentum would be an absolute legend in any country.
Moreover, the cultural troupe itself has too much criticism. Once unpredictable public opinion emerges, Zheng Qian will inevitably be pushed to the forefront again.
Now, although Zheng Qian wanted to keep his reputation secret, it was obviously too late.
Everyone has seen Zheng Qian's talent, and it is impossible for him to step down from the altar easily.
Just like the classic proverb, no one cares whether you are tired from flying, people only care whether you fly high or not.
…
Hong Kong Universal Music Director Wan Feng, pushing his suitcase, passed the airport security check and queued up to the boarding gate with his assistant Sally.
After getting on the plane, Wan Feng became very irritable, getting up and walking up and down the aisle from time to time.
Sally looked at this scene with some helplessness.
Over the past year, Universal Music Group's performance has been very poor.
If it weren't for the sales of Zheng Qian's several albums, Universal Music would probably have huge bad debts in its financial situation.
With the advent of the Internet era, more and more people have begun to actively embrace digital music.
But the current situation is that digital music is not profitable at all.
Not only is piracy rampant in mainland China, but Hong Kong is also almost the hardest hit area.
It was the first time that the relevant judicial agencies encountered this situation and had no time to legislate.
Many people listen to music for free and can download it to MP3 or mobile phones.
As a result, the physical record industry quickly began to fall apart.
First of all, the tape factory, which was originally able to make huge profits, had already filed for bankruptcy on a large scale at the end of last year.
Tape factories across Hong Kong and even Asia have either quickly changed industries or are waiting for bankruptcy and reorganization.
Although the record industry can still manage to survive, it is already dying.
Although everyone had a bad feeling last year——
But no one thought that this scene would come so quickly!
The development of the Internet era is so fast, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day!
Almost every day when people wake up, the online world they see and come into contact with quickly becomes different.
Sally used to think that the record industry could last at least ten years.
After all, the sound quality of online downloads cannot be compared with physical records, and everyone is accustomed to buying records and listening to music.
But I never expected that the era of MP3 would come quickly and it would not be the final decision.
It was only active for two or three years and was replaced by a large number of emerging mobile phones.
Nowadays, almost every new mobile phone is claimed to be the best music and camera phone.
Today's new mobile phones say goodbye to bloat. They are not only small and cute, but can also take photos and videos.
You can even play movies on your phone as long as the memory card you buy has enough memory!
Music downloads are even more incredible!
An ordinary memory card can download dozens or hundreds of songs, and you can carry them with you and listen to them whenever you want.
This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Today's record industry is beginning to visibly slump.
Even superstars like Andy Lau don’t dare to try to release records easily again.
Last year's album containing "Seventeen Years Old" had a faint tendency to become a swan song.
The media all said that Wang Fei was the ultimate winner, making a lot of money before the "apocalypse" came, and retired with success.
With the arrival of the new year, the recording industry has suffered a serious setback.
It is as strong as Universal Music, which has released so many classic albums...
But now, a lot of the funds cannot be recovered.
The only ones with positive growth are the three albums belonging to Zheng Qian that were unexpectedly signed last year.
According to Universal Music's research, many Qian fans in Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas are willing to purchase Zheng Qian's new album collection.
This gave Universal Music a glimmer of hope.
Of course, they would not put all their treasure on Zheng Qian.
The company is also actively seeking transformation within the company to obtain more channel income for its contracted singers, such as frantically exploring the Southeast Asian market and the mainland market.
Among them, the rapid rise of the mainland market has also allowed them to see the possibilities in the future.
But K-pop artists seem to be more foresight. They opened up the mainland's big gold market one step ahead of them, and everyone is making money. There are also outdated Korean artists who are complacent. They can't survive in their own country and they are short of money.
Go to the mainland.
Therefore, during the period after the beginning of the new year, almost all of Universal Music's artists went to the mainland to make money and participate in various variety shows and talk shows.
During this period of time when he was still relatively well-known, everyone started to be crazy about acting.
Making money is very easy.
The prices quoted are also higher than the previous one, but the merchants in the mainland still like this.
But this is not a long-term solution.
Everyone knows that if this continues, not only will the mainland market be thrown into chaos, but the local Hong Kong market may also sink directly.
Therefore, Zheng Qian's new album is regarded by Universal Music as a "rescue work."
As for music director Wan Feng, after learning that Zheng Qian had finally returned to China, he immediately packed his luggage and hurried to the mainland, trying to grasp this life-saving straw tightly.
