Perhaps in other words, all the top superstars who emerged at the end of the last century still have strong appeal at the box office, with fans all over Asia and even the world. After all, the glory of the Hong Kong film industry has attracted worldwide attention.
The current Korean wave is not far behind, and it has a large number of fans in Japan, Korea, Thailand and other places.
One of them, Cheng Long, has entered Hollywood with his extremely high popularity, and has starred in several popular movies. He is already regarded as a first-class actor in the world. Even Zheng Qian is not as good as Cheng Long in the world.
The influence is profound, which is the qualification of a big shot who has been running the film industry for decades.
Therefore, when a superstar like Andy comes to Singapore, he has already received enthusiastic attention from the local media. His participation in Zheng Qian's tour concert this time has attracted countless fans to support and watch.
When Andy came on stage, he sang two songs in a row and had the audience singing along.
For those who don’t know, I’m afraid they thought it was Andy’s own concert.
Zheng Qian was watching in admiration backstage. He was not jealous. The word jealousy had disappeared from his dictionary for a long time. For senior superstars like Hua Tsai, Zheng Qian only had admiration and admiration in his heart.
After all, Zheng Qian plans to retire before he is forty.
At Zheng Qian's stage, he has lost his previous interest in the rise of wealth. Instead, he has a higher belief. He really wants to spread Chinese culture all over the world and contribute to the strength of the motherland in the coming wave of the times.
One's own strength.
Of course, this is the consciousness of party members and their lifelong pursuit.
After the Singapore concert, Zheng Qian received feedback from Universal Music and Sony Records, and the three parties gathered in Hong Kong and signed relevant agreements.
The first agreement is that Zheng Qian’s albums, concerts, etc. in Greater China will be handed over to Universal Music.
The second agreement is that Zheng Qian's albums, concerts, etc. in Japan will be handed over to Sony Records.
The third agreement is very fair. Considering that Sony Records has the experience of releasing the single "You Are Not Alone", in the next cooperation, Zheng Qian will enter the US market through Sony Records.
In other words, Universal Music Group has obtained the entire fan market in Greater China, while Sony Records has obtained the operating rights of the two major supermarkets in the United States and Japan.
During the negotiation, Zheng Qian was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect Universal Records to agree to Zheng Qian's proposal so easily. Even Sony Records was surprised that the other party was so forthcoming.
Later, after analysis, I gradually came to understand.
Although the priority clause is written in the contract, the liquidated damages for this clause alone are not high, and litigating a lawsuit is a very energy-consuming thing, and it is also very negative for Universal Music's reputation.
After all, Zheng Qian's popularity in the entire Greater China region is obvious to all. It is not the best solution to lose both sides with Zheng Qian.
Coupled with the current stage, Zheng Qian has developed mature popularity in Greater China, and it is completely possible to achieve complete profitability.
Although Sony Records has obtained operating rights in the United States and Japan, it is basically starting from scratch, and everything needs time to grow.
Universal Music is optimistic about the Chinese market, while Sony Records is optimistic about Zheng Qian's future in the United States and Japan.
In order not to conflict with Zheng Qian, Universal Music finally reached an agreement with Zheng Qian with a conciliatory attitude after many resolutions.
Wan Feng feels very bitter in his heart. He gave up Zheng Qian's market in the United States to his competitors in vain. Now he is worried that Zheng Qian will overturn the table and refuse to play. After all, they have the capital to overturn the table. No matter how high the liquidated damages are, Sony Records will still be there.
provide support.
Under the same circumstances, Universal Music would make such a choice, which is understandable.
So in the next period of time, in addition to continuing to tour, Zheng Qian will also think about his Japanese album in his free time at the hotel.
The song "No Big Deal" that I wrote before was excerpted and sung by Na Hayakawa and gained some fame, and the adapted song "Midnight Serenade" also became a small hit in Japan.
If we follow this direction, the Japanese market should be dominated by lyrical songs.
With this experience and direction, Zheng Qian suddenly had many thoughts in his mind. The first thing that came to his mind was the idea that came to him when he was writing the song "I Want to Love This World So Much".
This is also an excellent song for treating patients with depression, namely "I once thought about getting over it" by Mika Nakajima.
Thinking of this, the little girl Ding Ning appeared in Zheng Qian's mind.
I don’t know how this girl is doing now, whether she has not escaped from the shadows and got rid of her psychological depression...
This song was once very popular in Japan, and then spread throughout Asia. It has a wide influence. Compared with the main song of "I Really Want to Love This World", "I Also Wanted to Live It Up" is more famous throughout Asia.
On the contrary, it is higher.
In view of the fact that it was a hit, "Once I Thought It Was All Over" was included in Zheng Qian's Japanese album release list.
However, it is actually a bit difficult to restore the original song. Although there will be changes in the melody, it is still the same, but there will be certain changes in the lyrics.
Furthermore, the bass of this song is not Zheng Qian's strong point. It requires more practice to find the feeling. It is not as smooth as the Chinese one, and the time to complete the song will be extended to a certain extent.
In fact, strictly speaking, the production time cost of all Japanese songs will increase.
"too difficult."
While speaking Japanese, Zheng Qian wore headphones and listened to pure Japanese accents to practice his pronunciation.
Although he is proficient in Japanese, it is only spoken. Zheng Qian still has some difficulties in writing, so when writing lyrics, he often uses romaji instead, which makes it more difficult.
With the first song setting the tone, Zheng Qian was ready to replace the entire album with lyrical songs.
Next, he began to recall familiar Japanese songs from his previous life, such as "Snow Flower", which became popular after it was covered by the Korean drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You".
But as soon as he finished writing the name, Zheng Qian felt too sad, so he subconsciously wrote a passionate song like "Blue Bird". Following this line of thinking, he successively wrote songs from the anime "Slam Dunk"
He wrote two world-famous songs, "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" and "Until the End of the World".
Japan's animation industry is a world-renowned development, so related industries have also become extremely rich. Many excellent songs will be bought by animation producers at high prices. A good promotional song and soundtrack can bring an anime that has failed on the street back to life.
, for example, the original anime "Aldnoah Zero" of the nuclear explosion song "aLIEz", the animation plot was criticized by everyone to a very low score, but this nuclear explosion song alone directly made the anime a big hit, so Zheng Qian
I also took advantage of the situation and wrote the song "aLIEz".
Suddenly, the whole album becomes a bit colorful.
When I think of animation, I think of the animated movie "Your Name", so I wrote "Dream Lantern".
Thinking of the TV series, I wrote the theme song "Lemon" for "Unnatural Death".
Zheng Qian was also worried that he would fall into the street, so he wanted to take advantage of the popularity of his friend Hayakawa Nazaki, so he wrote "Fire with Fireworks", a male-female chorus song.
He was very quick-thinking. In just three to five days, in hotels, airplanes, and buses, whenever he had an idea, he would immediately take out paper and pen to write it down, and he soon had nine songs together.
Zheng Qian was worried about what he would do if he got beaten up in Japan.
Then I thought of "", a Japanese song that was very popular in China in my previous life.
The tenth song was completed in an instant.
Zheng Qian is a little proud and feels that his memory is still very good.
On the way to the Vietnam concert, Mao Miaorui watched Brother Qian writing and drawing some words that he could not understand in his notebook, including Japanese and other ghost symbols, so he admired him very much, and pulled Hao Youfan and muttered:
"You said Brother Qian is such an outstanding person and has achieved such high results, why do you still work so hard?"
"This is why people who are better than you often work harder than you." Hao Youfan said calmly.
She followed Zheng Qian longer than Mao Miaorui. Basically, she followed the entire team when Zheng Qian had not really made his fortune. At that time, Sister Qian had not left yet. She was still like a country girl coming to the city, doing things carelessly.
But Sister Xin and Sister Qian will tolerate themselves.
Hao Youfan is also very hard-working and takes this job very seriously. Therefore, along the way, with continuous learning and further training, he has also become proficient in makeup skills. Now, as Zheng Qian's royal makeup artist, he is also very famous in the circle.
Yes, even if he leaves Zheng Qian's team in the future, with his qualifications, he is not afraid of not being able to find a good job.
Mao Miaorui now admires Zheng Qian more and more. She watched helplessly as Brother Qian soared into the sky like a rocket after the show "Chinese Idol" ended, without any signs of running out of fuel.
In the past, I still worked hard in Novice Village and competed with the Chinese people in the industry. Now I not only have a huge popularity in Southeast Asia, but I have also been attracted by two industry giants, Sony Records and Universal Music. In the end, the three parties can still live in peace and work together.
This made Mao Miaorui stunned.
How is this different from modern monogamy?
Some time ago, the release of English singles was already very popular, and now they are even releasing a Japanese album, and it is an official album, published by Sony Records, and promoted throughout Japan.
Mamma Mia!
There are not many mainland singers who can make a name for themselves in Japan. It can even be said that there are only a handful of them.
Zheng Qian seems to be setting a precedent.
The boss is awesome!
Mao Miaorui had the urge to hug Brother Qian's thigh forever.
Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam.
When Zheng Qian and others arrived here, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. It would take two or three hours to rehearse before preparing for the concert in the evening.
Time is very tight, and there may be no time to rest.
Compared with the last time I came to Ho Chi Minh City to hold a book signing, holding a concert here this time is very risky.
Compared with countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, Vietnam's GDP is relatively backward. People's enthusiasm for watching concerts is actually not high. Even Vietnam's first-line singers can hardly say that they can sell all the tickets, so here is the implementation
Reservation system, the concert will only be opened if the number of reserved tickets reaches a certain amount.
The reason why Zheng Qian dares to come here to hold a concert is entirely because more than half of the reserved tickets are reserved. In other words, Zheng Qian has at least 5,000 fans in Vietnam who are willing to buy his concert tickets. If the number in the industry is 20 times
According to calculations, Zheng Qian has at least 100,000 die-hard fans in Vietnam.
This is a good figure, so Universal Music did not miss this opportunity to make money.
During the rehearsal, the person in charge of Universal Music sent word that all tickets for the concert at the Ho Chi Minh City Stadium had been sold out.
Compared with other countries, although the time is a little slower, it is already very difficult to fill the seats. Zheng Qian was actually surprised because Ren Xin once told him that piracy in Vietnam is more serious than in China.
, not only pirated you, but also copied and pasted you. For example, Zheng Qian’s classic songs, "Faith", "Blooming Life", etc., were all covered by singers in Vietnam. Not only did they cover them, they also published albums. They had no prior experience with Yuexiang.
The media has not made the slightest contact.
This is not an isolated case, not only Zheng Qian, but other popular singers have also suffered such violations.
The protection of intellectual property rights in Vietnam is basically zero, so even if you spend a lot of effort and money to defend your rights, even if you ultimately win the case, you will not get much compensation.
Many well-known singers are familiar with this, so they turn a blind eye to these situations.
Unless these singers become top superstars in Vietnam and even Asia by virtue of their cover songs, these pirated creative talents will pick up the sickle to harvest, and the compensation will be much higher than that of ordinary singers.
Already.
This is also one of the classic practices of many overseas singers.
As long as you are not angry, everything is easy to talk about.
As long as you are angry, I will cut you with my sickle without blinking an eye.
But soon, Zheng Qian discovered that among Vietnamese fans, in addition to fans, there were also a large number of book fans.
In the center of the stadium, a huge banner was held high by the fans, which read, "From now on, we are gay!"
Vietnam, like China, is a socialist country and has a much deeper understanding of the meaning of homosexuality than other countries. Therefore, the soil of "Three-Body" has slowly penetrated here and has become known to many people.
However, Zheng Qian actually just signed the translation copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" in Vietnamese, and it has not even had time to be published.
In other words, the "Three-Body Problem" read by these book fans is either an English version or a purely hand-translated pirated version. These hand-translated and pirated copies will be turned into crude tomes by pirated booksellers and then sold across the country.
Everywhere.
This is exactly the same as many book sellers who set up street stalls in China.
Zheng Qian was filled with emotions, but he was not too angry. People liked "The Three-Body Problem" and were willing to spend huge amounts of concert tickets to support him. This was already the best result.
What Zheng Qian didn't expect was that when he sang, the whole audience sang in a chorus more than once, and he emphasized purity, and various proficient Chinese words came one after another.
This was so strange that after singing a song, Zheng Qian was very puzzled and asked, "Are you all Chinese?"
“No, we are Vietnamese, but we all speak a little bit of Chinese!”
“The pronunciation of our language is very similar to Chinese, so it’s easy to learn!”
