"Mr. Wang, there is important news that I must report to you immediately!"
The boss of Lei Ming Film and Television was having a meeting with several subordinates from the artist department in a small conference room. Lao Lu, the head of the marketing department, suddenly opened the door and walked in, speaking respectfully and eagerly to Mr. Wang.
"Oh? What makes you so anxious...Forget it, everyone, just wait a moment, I'll be back in a moment."
He stood up, pressed his hands slightly to prevent others from getting up, and then hurried out with Lao Lu.
"What's the matter, Lao Lu? Didn't you see me in a meeting with people from the artist department? You can't wait..."
"It's about Fengming Entertainment!"
The two walked to another small empty conference room. Before they could sit down, Lao Lu picked up the tablet in his hand and gave him a report.
"Oh? My eldest brother's side?"
Mr. Wang, who had just taken out a cigarette and wanted to light it, stopped and looked at Lao Lu in surprise.
"Yes, you have been telling me to pay attention to their situation and the sales of their new game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"..."
"Yeah, yeah, you said..."
In the end, Mr. Wang did not light the cigarette and stuffed it back into the cigarette case.
"Mr. Wang, we have figured out the sales situation of "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry". Their sales on the first day were more than 10,000, the second day was 15,000, and then the sales in the next three days were 13,000. , 14,000 and 15,000, the total total has exceeded more than 68,000 copies!"
"impossible!"
Mr. Wang couldn't hold it back and slapped his palm on the table!
"It's just a stand-alone game. How could it have such high sales in such a short period of time?"
Mr. Wang stood up and started walking around the conference room with his hands behind his back.
"Last year's most popular stand-alone game, "Dragon's Treasure," didn't sell more than 50,000 copies the week before, right? It sold almost 70,000 copies in the past five days?"
Mr. Wang's eyes were about to burst into flames. They bought Big Brother's game on the first day it was released and played it for several hours. It was indeed fun, but it shouldn't be so popular, right?
And this is a brand new IP, not a follow-up to an already famous masterpiece. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have such a big reputation in the first place, and it should have such a large sales volume.
"Is this data accurate? Also, is there something fishy here? This kind of data is very abnormal, it's too high!"
Mr. Wang pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said to Lao Lu.
"The data will definitely not be fake. After all, the laws and regulations are so complete now. Who dares to make fakes? If he sells a game, he will have to pay a share of tax..."
Lao Lu pressed his fingers on his itchy forehead. Mr. Wang was so excited when he spoke that spittle flew to his head.
"Mr. Wang, I'm also very curious, so I arranged for a few colleagues to go to the physical store where the game is sold to ask the players who just bought the game to find out why they bought it. .”
"It's okay not to ask, but if I ask... do you know what we found?"
Lao Lu gave it a try and said as if offering a treasure.
"Oh, you old Lu, how long have you been, and you are still so tight-lipped? Come on, come on!"
Mr. Wang glared at him, wishing he could hit this guy on the head!
"It's like this. After interviewing dozens of buyers, we were surprised to find that about 10 to 20% of the players actually bought the game because of the promotional song!"
Lao Lu's words made Mr. Wang feel as ridiculous as if he had seen a dinosaur hatched from a swan egg!
"Promotional song? You bought the game because of the promotional song? Are you okay, Lao Lu, or are you just entertaining me?"
Mr. Wang pinched his eyebrows and sat back on the chair weakly, exuding an aura of "I don't believe it" from head to toe.
"Mr. Wang, don't tell me. We just heard the news.
Information, they all don’t believe it! But as the number of our interviews expanded, we finally spent three days interviewing more than 200 players who had purchased the game. Basically, those who purchased the game because of the promotional song really maintained the rate at about 20%! 》.z.br>
Seeing Mr. Wang's disbelief, Lao Lu also had a wry smile on his face.
He himself didn't believe it at first. Who has ever heard of buying games after listening to promotional songs? Aren't they all bought for the reputation of the game manufacturer, the power of the series of games, and the playability of the game?
But the results of the investigation are just like this. He didn't make it up. What can he do?
"Moreover, we also asked them why they bought the game based on the promotional song, and we got a surprising answer!"
"what is the answer?"
"Half of these customers who bought the game because of the promotional song were because the promotional song was catchy and nice, which made them very interested in the game, and the other half..."
"What's wrong with the other half, Lao Lu, when will you get rid of your habit of selling things off?"
"The other half is for the singer of this song! They are all fans of Jiang Kan! They say they want to support their idol. They buy a copy of the game whether they want to play it or not. It is considered as cheering for their idol. Already!"
Before Lao Lu finished speaking, Mr. Wang's eyes almost popped out!
"Jiang, Jiang Jiang Jiang...Jiang Kan?"
His voice was a little knotted due to excessive surprise.
"Yes, Jiang Kan, Mr. Wang, didn't you watch "Xia Guo Good Singer" some time ago? Is this this year's annual champion Jiang Kan?"
Lao Lu looked at his boss in confusion. Usually his boss likes to watch various variety shows. It doesn't make sense that Jiang Kan is so famous recently. He hasn't heard of it yet, right?
"Nonsense! Of course I've heard of it! I'm still a fan of his! I mean, he has such a huge influence that people would buy a game that they might not even play just because of him? "
Mr. Wang finally regained his composure and interrupted his subordinates' suspicion with a wave of his hand.
"No, Mr. Wang, you also know how crazy these young fans are when they chase stars! It has been revealed before that they bought several tons of milk and did not drink it in order to promote their idols, just to sweep away the stars. Is it about using the electronic voting coupon in the bottle cap to vote for yourself?”
"Nonsense, of course I remember it. It caused quite a stir at the time and was on trending searches for a long time!"
Mr. Wang glanced at Lao Lu with disdain. He was not a monkey in the mountains and knew nothing about the outside world. At least he was a boss in the entertainment industry. He had always been paying attention to news in this area!
"The reason why I was surprised is because Feiyang Entertainment came to me to get business before. What they told us was that they wanted their new specialist to write the opening song for our new TV series!"
Mr. Wang sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
"Guess who their new commissioner is?"
"Who it is, it can't be Jiang Kan, right?"
The boss wanted to sell things off, and the subordinates had no choice but to continue, so Lao Lu asked in a joking way.
"Hey, you are really a fucking genius, you can guess right!"
Mr. Wang slapped his thigh and said harshly.
"Huh? Jiang Kan too? Really?"
Now it was Lao Lu's turn to be surprised. This big star came to our company to do business?
"Mr. Wang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Have you agreed to him? You must have agreed, right? Oh my Mr. Wang, you are so far-sighted, wise and decisive. Jiang Kan's recent fame is better than that of many kings and queens. It’s even bigger now. His songs are played every day in the streets and alleys. It feels like I don’t know how to sing, and I feel like I’m a hero in vain!”
Lao Lu was talking to himself excitedly, completely unaware that his boss's face was getting tighter and tighter, and his face was getting redder and redder.
"Mr. Wang, what's wrong with you? Mr. Wang, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take a rest?"
Lao Lu, who was praising his boss for his wise and decisive decision to sign the Feiyang Entertainment contract so that he could be on the line with Jiang Kan, also watched
Mr. Wang's expression became worse and worse, so he quickly stopped talking and put the back of his hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever.
"well!"
Mr. Wang pushed his hand away, and the embarrassment and anger that he was feeling finally restrained himself and turned into a sigh.
"What's wrong? Mr. Wang, are you worried about something..."
Lao Lu looked at his boss in confusion, not understanding what was happening.
"That...that contract you mentioned...I refused..."
Mr. Wang was very embarrassed and murmured softly.
"Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? You know my ears don't work very well as I get older. Can you speak louder?"
Lao Lu bowed slightly and took half a step closer to the boss.
"I mean I didn't sign this contract, I refused to cooperate with Jiang Kan!"
Mr. Wang’s veins popped out and he finally yelled loudly!
"What? Mr. Wang, you refused? No, why?"
Lao Lu was also confused. What was going on? With Mr. Wang’s keen sense of the market, there was no way he would miss such a good opportunity!
"When the salesperson from their company came to talk to me before, I was actually very tempted by Jiang Kan for the title song, but do you know how much they asked for? The composition fee alone is two million!"
Mr. Wang slapped the table hard to express his dissatisfaction!
"They have cooperated with us before, and the maximum amount was not more than 800,000. This time they asked for 2 million. How could I agree?"
"Just go to a large company like Xingmang, and the price is only two million, and it also includes singing!"
He said angrily, but there was regret in his tone.
"That... is normal. What was their Yangcheng branch like before, and what is Jiang Kan's level now... you should know very well!"
Seeing his boss losing his temper, Lao Lu's voice became softer.
"I was immediately offended by such a high price, and then I told their salesperson that if Jiang Kan could prove that he had written a song for a Cantonese movie or TV series and proved himself with his achievements, I would work with him. He signed a contract... I was thinking about their company's situation at the time, how could other companies accept an offer of two million to let him write songs, so this is actually equivalent to rejection..."
Mr. Wang covered his eyes in discomfort, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
"No, Mr. Wang, you are not rejecting this outright, there is still an opportunity!"
Lao Lu suddenly jumped up and waved his arm fiercely!
"It is a very reasonable and legitimate request to have your grades prove yourself! You will definitely not offend them to death by saying this! They are all people with decades of social experience. It is impossible for them to completely refuse to work with us just for such a small request. Coming and going!"
A ray of light shot out from Lao Lu's eyes, and he clenched his fists!
"Didn't they just achieve results now? An original new stand-alone game without IP was able to attract 20% of the users by relying on its influence. What an amazing result! We can Just tell them that we trust them based on this, and we don’t need to worry about the scores of other film and television dramas, so that both of us can have a step forward, Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
"Oh? What you said makes sense. Both of us can go down this level... Very good! Lao Lu, you are indeed the pillar of our Leiming Film and Television. Then I authorize you to go talk to them now. Make sure Jiang Kan Handle the opening theme of our time-travel drama with your own hands!"
Mr. Wang slapped his thigh and agreed with Lao Lu's opinion.
"Okay, I'll contact Feiyang Entertainment right away. Just wait, Mr. Wang!"
Lao Lu immediately turned around in a hurry and walked out of the conference room.
"Wait a minute! If it's Jiang Kan who is willing to sing in person, the price can be easily negotiated!"
Mr. Wang added worriedly behind his back.
"No problem, I'll do the work, don't worry!"
Lao Lu didn't even look back. He left these words and ran away.
"call……"
Mr. Wang sat quietly alone in the conference room for a while to calm down, then stood up and took a long breath.
"I didn't expect that the big brother who has been immersed in the game would be so keen on things in the music industry, and he immediately seized the opportunity brought by such a great figure as Jiang Kan... Haha, but I am not a vegetarian, brother, you can do it , shouldn’t I?”
"Yes, that's it. The span of the chords you used before is still too small. Being too restrained is not conducive to showing the melodious atmosphere of the song..."
Today is Wednesday, and Jiang Kan is giving music lessons to his apprentice Zhao Junping three times a week.
"Okay, that's it for today. You should review more when you go back and make more connections in practice."
After saying the last words of this lesson, Jiang Kan stood up and signaled to his apprentice that he could leave.
"Thank you, teacher! I will practice more frequently!"
Zhao Junping stood up straight, bowed respectfully to Jiang Kan, and then walked sideways and backed out of the small conference room. As soon as he returned to the office, he was surrounded by a group of his colleagues from the composition department, chattering and asking What did he learn today, how does it feel to learn from a master like Jiang Kan, etc...
"Huh... being a teacher is really tiring..."
The apprentice went out, and Jiang Kan stretched out. He felt that teaching others to learn was many times more tiring than learning things by himself.
"But it's good to learn and practice what you learn, isn't it? It's also a good review to teach others what you learned from Professor Wang Tiancheng again."
Through virtual teaching during this period, Jiang Kan only felt that his music theory knowledge was like a small river flowing into a big river. Countless things that he didn't know before, ignored, and didn't study and understand seriously were all astonishing. It entered his brain like an initiation, and he was firmly in his grasp.
I have to say that Professor Wang Tiancheng’s teaching skills are really strong. Not only is he extremely talented and knowledgeable, but he is also able to teach people in such a profound and simple way in the teaching field...
It's a pity that I didn't discover my singing talent back then, didn't go to art college, and didn't have the opportunity to be taught by him.
Fortunately, now, the emergence of the system has made up for all these regrets.
Of course, he also knows his own limitations and the boundaries of his abilities. He will not make songs that are about the earth, but will use his own songs to deal with customers.
Learning these music theory knowledge now is to lay a better foundation and better utilize the advantages of system songs.
If you compose your own music... forget it, just be your own singer and take advantage of your natural voice as much as possible.
