The disputes on the Internet did not particularly attract Zheng Qian's attention. At present, the market is still dominated by major television media, and the Internet is only a small publicity channel. Although Kuran Music Network has obtained the official authorization,
The signing party is only Hunan Satellite TV's "Chinese Idol", so even if there is profit, it has little to do with Zheng Qian.
Although KuRan claims to be genuine, in fact they turn a blind eye to pirated music sources and allow them to wander in the gray area of their website to fend for themselves. Many of Zheng Qian’s songs such as "Opera 2", "
"Blooming Life" and "Left Finger Moon" are not authorized but they still exist on the website. This would be unimaginable in later generations, but now it is an extremely normal phenomenon.
Zheng Qian has no intention of suing. Under the general environment, this is a thankless task.
From another perspective, this can also add some fame to him. Although the liquidity is very narrow, it may not be impossible to turn a stream into a vast ocean in a few years. Today's losses should be regarded as paving the way for future growth.
On the other hand, with the popularity of CCTV's prime time series "The Storm", Zheng Qian's song "For Whom" has also become popular all over the country.
During the recent period, many of the programs that Ren Xin has hosted have a party nature. Some TV parties held by various local TV stations have sent invitations to Zheng Qian, hoping that Zheng Qian can come and sing "For Whom". The labor fee starts at 50,000 yuan.
, the highest appearance fee even reached 150,000 yuan.
This price is quoted by Jiujiang City TV Station, where the TV series "The Storm" was filmed.
Because of the broadcast of the TV series, Jiujiang has once again become a city that attracts national attention. When the flood came last year, most of the city was destroyed. Now more than a year has passed, and with the support of the state, Jiujiang is carrying out post-disaster reconstruction work.
It has been completely completed, and the speed of reconstruction has been unanimously praised by people across the country. This time, the flood relief commemorative party was held under the spotlight.
Originally, Zheng Qian was still considering it, but it was not until Wei Yehong personally sent an invitation, saying that it was a political mission that he made up his mind to go.
"The speed of Jiujiang reconstruction represents the level of infrastructure development in our country. This party will showcase the new Jiujiang to the people across the country and also showcase China's speed to the world."
On the way to Jiujiang City, Wei Yehong said: "As the creator of the theme song "For Whom" of the TV series "The Storm", the leaders heard about it and admired you very much. They also named you at the meeting this time to ask them to go.
The show will be held in Jiujiang, and Jiujiang TV station has shown the highest sincerity. The appearance fee of 150,000 yuan is already very high, three times as much as mine."
Zheng Qian was ashamed: "This is wrong, Sister Hong, your worth definitely starts at 200,000 yuan!"
Wei Yehong smiled: "For political tasks, just think about it. Speaking of which, you are the protagonist tonight. When talking about "The Storm" and talking about fighting floods, the first song that people think of is "For Whom", you
With such an appearance fee, no one will be surprised."
Zheng Qian hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll take 50,000."
Wei Yehong shook his head: "That's not necessary, just follow the rules. A TV station of this size is not short of your labor fee. In order to promote Xinjiujiang, the publicity funding they received is an astronomical figure. Your labor fee does not even include mosquito meat.
.”
Zheng Qian thought about it and simply let nature take its course.
"By the way, the leaders liked the recruitment song "Soldiers" you wrote last time, but overall, it lacked a sense of urgency and failed to arouse the enthusiasm of young people to protect their homes and country."
Wei Yehong thought for a while and said: "Have you ever heard of the song "If War Comes Tomorrow" from the former Soviet Union? The leaders said that the recruitment song should reflect the responsibility of being a soldier and present the iron will of the soldiers to inspire people.
, the theme of boosting morale is best in the form of a chorus, which sounds grand and majestic..."
Zheng Qian was thoughtful. He had heard of "If There Was a War Tomorrow".
This song was created in 1938, during the Soviet-Finnish War. The Soviet military wrote this song to inspire people. However, he did not know "If War Comes Tomorrow", but it reminded him of that time.
The song "When That Day Comes".
"Are you ready? Soldier brothers, when that day really comes..."
…
Arriving at Jiujiang TV Station, Zheng Qian and Wei Yehong received warm hospitality from the organizers. When they checked into the hotel, Zheng Qian discovered the judges Chen Meiling and Cai Gaoxiang who had appeared on the "Singer" stage.
The former was a member of the General Political Bureau. Although he later changed careers, he still maintained the national first-class actor certification.
The latter belongs to the Second Artillery Art Troupe and is an active fifth-level civilian.
When they saw Zheng Qian, they were both very happy and walked over together.
"I have been looking at each other for three days after leaving. Zheng Qian, you really did not disappoint me. Who in the country doesn't know "For Whom"?" Chen Meiling looked at Zheng Qian with expectant eyes, and said with a smile: "When will I do it?
Write a song for my sister? She is not short of money."
"Yes, Zheng Qian, I'm really looking forward to cooperating with you now."
Cai Gaoxiang said with a smile: "It has only been a month and you have become famous all over the country. It is really amazing."
Zheng Qian was a little flattered and said quickly: "The two seniors are so good at joking."
Cai Gaoxiang and Chen Meiling looked at each other and smiled.
But in fact, what they said is right. With the popularity of "Strong Waves", the song "For Whom" has become popular all over the country and has almost become a phenomenon-level song. Everyone can hum a line or two.
.
But when it comes to Zheng Qian, not many people still know about it.
Typical singers who are famous are not popular.
"Based on my experience, if nothing else happens, there will definitely be a place for you in this year's Spring Festival Gala."
Cai Gaoxiang smiled and said: "It's been a long time since a song with this kind of positive theme has been so popular. The director of this year's Spring Festival Gala has not yet been determined. It will be announced by then. If I know him, I will recommend you."
Zheng Qian said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Gao Xiang!"
In the afternoon, Zheng Qian and others began to rehearse for the party performance, and the official performance began in the evening.
This is a live broadcast party, and the delay is only ten minutes.
For TV stations, ratings are no longer important, so the entire party received almost no advertising sponsorship.
Because the audience coming tonight are all important figures from the local military and government, but they are not the focus of this party. This party is mainly held to commemorate Jiujiang's flood fighting and disaster relief, so it will also commend some advanced individuals for their deeds in flood fighting and disaster relief.
As well as the victims who selflessly contributed to flood fighting and disaster relief, these people were the focus of the party.
Tonight, Zheng Qian put on the uniform of the Air Force Cultural Troupe for the first time.
This is a dark blue military uniform with a golden wheat ribbon hanging on the chest. The epaulets on both sides are golden with blue trim representing the Air Force. The base of the epaulets is decorated with a thin blue bar and a
There is a star emblem, and the entire garment is ironed very straight, with no wrinkles visible.
