Just when Jiang Kan was taking the manual of the American movie tentatively titled "Frozen" and studying it carefully.
In Xia Guo's Xinghai Entertainment Yanjing headquarters, some people are holding a meeting with this introduction.
"Everyone, this is the theme song of a large-scale animated film with a total investment of 70 million yuan!"
A middle-aged man with an unfashionable slicked back hair but a majestic look shook the movie introduction book in his hand and spoke seriously to the colleagues sitting around the conference table. .z.br>
"In order to promote this large-scale animated film to the world, they even sent out invitations to compete for orders from several countries and regions around the world, and the production cost reached an astonishing five million yuan! "
He shook the notebook in his hand again and emphasized.
"Everyone, five million yuan! This is equivalent to more than 30 million Xia Guo coins! How many years does it take to encounter such a good opportunity? Not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also become famous all over the world!"
His eyes were full of excitement, and the surrounding participants were all senior executives of Xinghai Entertainment. Naturally, they all understood how great the benefits would be if this order was snatched by his company.
"I don’t need to say more about the importance of this list. Lao Wang, you are the general person in charge of our Xinghai Entertainment Composition Department. Tell me, are you confident in grabbing this list?"
He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man next to him.
"Mr. Wu, let me tell you this, if we only compete with our domestic competitors, we will have absolutely no problem."
The person in charge, whom President Wu called Lao Wang, cleared his throat and then reported to his immediate superior carefully.
"Oh? Is it limited to these domestic competitors?"
When Mr. Wu heard this, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Compared to the other two giants in the country, Feiyang and Guangguang, he also agreed with the words of his confidant. As the three giants in the domestic entertainment industry, they, Xinghai, are not afraid of anyone.
But that’s not necessarily true internationally, not to mention Western Europe, where great masters are born, and the United States, where the nouveau riche gather together and spend their money to produce a large number of gold medal composers...
Even our close neighbor Fuso Country has a large number of high-level composers. Master Tartar alone has composed countless world-famous songs. They must have received invitations to compete for this list. It can be said to be abnormal. Strong competitor...
"Speaking of external competition, it is indeed a bit of a headache..."
Mr. Wu pinched his nose and said with a headache.
He knew that his subordinates were not like some sycophants who immediately said that everything was fine when the leader said something, and then found out that nothing could be done when the matter came to pass.
Lao Wang, the head of the composition department who is the chief composer himself, is a very reliable person. The company's board of directors admires him very much. He is also one of the important pillars of the company. President Wu is usually very polite and kind to him. respect.
However, this kind of politeness and respect cannot directly turn Minister Wang into a top international composer like magic. The development time of Xia Guo's popular culture is relatively short. Compared with those high-end artists in the world, it is inherently difficult. It’s obvious that there’s nothing we can do about it.
"Actually, I have this suggestion. Mr. Wu, please listen to it and see if it's suitable."
Wang Junrong coughed again and expressed his opinion.
"First of all, we will definitely work hard to obtain the production rights of this theme song, spare no effort to bring out the highest level of composition of our Xinghai Entertainment, and strive to truly compete head-on with those international composition masters, and then win."
"But at the same time, we can also send lobbyists to convince them that if others successfully compete for the production rights of this song, they can still choose our company's song as the official theme song of the movie to be played in the Xia Kingdom area."
“In this way, even if we cannot obtain the global production rights for this song, we can still rely on our company’s strong domestic
Our dominant position and unique advantages help them open up our domestic market more easily. "
"If possible, the company can also facilitate their movie in other ways, and even make future movies more smoothly distributed in our country. After all, our channels and market atmosphere are so big, and we have such a strong support. , it’s also a good thing for them to enter the Xia Kingdom market, isn’t it?”
Wang Junrong is worthy of being one of the top songwriters in China, and he has a smart and flexible mind.
Later, he served as a senior leader of an entertainment giant. After a period of training in shopping malls, his vision and awareness have improved to a higher level, and he is more accustomed to thinking about problems from a business perspective and from a strategic perspective.
And this is also one of the magic weapons that allows him to secure the position of head of the important department of the composition department in the number one entertainment company in the country where there are many songwriters.
"Well, what Lao Wang said makes sense. It is well-founded and well-founded. It is also highly executable."
After hearing this report from his favorite subordinate, Mr. Wu nodded with satisfaction and expressed his affirmation.
After all, in the current cooperation between Xia Guo and some big-name companies in the world, there are many precedents for using a Xia Guo theme song produced by local personnel to promote movies and TV series in the huge Xia Guo market.
It’s not that if a submitted song fails the competition, you won’t get a piece of the soup.
Many large international cultural and entertainment companies have gradually become accustomed to this routine and method of dividing regions into regions and using the local language of the region to write a new song for promotion.
Therefore, the idea proposed by Wang Junrong can be used as a backup plan for the company, even if it can't eat meat and drink some soup.
In fact, this method has precedent on earth. For example, in the promotion of the famous game Yamaguchi Mountain in our country, Jay Chou, who had not yet condensed his godliness at the time, was hired to produce a local song "Orc" , is also quite pleasant to listen to and catchy, allowing many young people who have not been exposed to this game to learn about this masterpiece of a large-scale 3D game.
"Everyone else, what do you think of Lao Wang's proposal?"
Mr. Wu looked at the other attendees. They were basically middle-level managers of the company, as well as heads of important departments such as the sales and marketing departments.
"I think Minister Wang's proposal is quite practical."
The director of the marketing department spoke.
"We, the composers of Feiyang Entertainment, basically have no rivals in the country. In the competition for large-scale overseas composition orders, the second-ranked Feiyang and the third-ranked Guangguang have always been our losers. At most, we are occasionally stolen by them. It’s just leftovers, nothing to worry about.”
His words caused other executives around him to nod. It was obvious that the country's number one giant had indeed accumulated enough self-confidence through years of competition and was completely unafraid of any domestic competition.
"So, we strive to win this competition. If unfortunately we don't succeed, we can definitely get the production rights for the domestic theme song of this masterpiece. But then we will have to work hard, Minister Wang, to arrange the production of Xia Wen's lyrics. .”
He nodded to Wang Junrong.
"No problem, the composition department promises to complete this backup plan. It will be difficult for us to compete with foreign masters, but in China, haha, except for a few big names in our company, there really is no composer that I, Wang, can like. !」
Not only Xinghai Entertainment, but also all the reputable entertainment companies in Xia Kingdom were attracted by this competitive list that was like sweet and delicious bait.
Guangguang Entertainment, one of the three giants along with Feiyang and Xinghai, now has all the information on this competition.
Their strategy is also the same as that of Feiyang Entertainment. They are not very confident in directly winning this order, but they have also prepared a Plan B of a promotional song dedicated to their own country.
As for other companies, they basically just accepted this competition order with the mentality of "trying it out", and then did not give death orders to their own composers, but just let them
They just try their best and just try their luck with the mentality of "what if they are chosen".
But inside Feiyang Entertainment, there is another voice.
Because Minister Yang of the Rongcheng branch has high moral standing and outstanding achievements (mainly with the help of Jiang Kan), the relevant composition resources within the company are now tilted towards Rongcheng. The composition department of the branch, which originally only had seven or eight kittens, is now being replaced. The number has expanded to more than 20 people, all of whom are elite domestic composers recently discovered or poached by the company.
Minister Yang is quite happy with these new employees.
Unexpectedly, he, who was originally dismissed because of his mistakes and was about to be put on a casual job to support his retirement, would actually get a further opportunity at the end of his career!
It is said that the superiors are already considering transferring him to the headquarters to serve as the head of the company's composition department.
And obviously, if he wins the current global competition from the United States, he will undoubtedly write a significant mark on his glorious resume. It will also be a great step forward for him to advance. It is of huge help.
"Guys, we are all famous songwriters in our country! We must try our best to win this competitive album from the United States and overcome all difficulties!"
At the mobilization meeting of the composition department of the branch company, Comrade Yang's originally stooped body had now become dignified and upright. As a minister, his words were full of momentum.
If Jiang Kan saw his power here now, he would definitely sigh, "Power is the best medicine for a man." A big brother who was so kind and kind back then would actually become so powerful!
"Of course, there must be objective difficulties. Not to mention the two domestic competitors, the international masters of composition must have received the news this time. The remuneration of five million yuan is a lot of money. , everyone wants to pocket it.”
As he spoke, he glanced at his subordinates with majestic eyes.
The small department that originally had only seven or eight people now has more than 20 top executives, which makes him feel confident.
Especially when he glanced at his two old subordinates, Xiaoyao and Zheng Yupeng, he showed a very satisfied smile.
In the past two months, these two go-getters have produced a piece of work that is completely different from their previous styles, and they have successfully occupied the top five positions on this month's new song list.
Although I don’t know how they got the idea, the rhythm and tonality of their songs are very familiar to me, and Comrade Lao Yang, who is very cunning (not), can also recognize that this is modeled after Jiang Kan’s " A new song based on two famous songs: "Nocturne" and "Big Fish".
Although the two new songs received huge popularity from fans as soon as they were released, they were also despised by some colleagues in the composing industry who understood the truth.
Every composer has his own dignity and self-confidence. If he imitates other people's songs, wouldn't he lose his originality and be called a counterfeit?
Just like a long time ago, some fans on earth pointed out that "Funeral of a Rose" is an imitation of "Nocturne" by haoxi Jay Chou. The only difference is that the specific syllables and lyrics are exactly the same. Although they don't have any substantial evidence, this is When songs are written, they will always be criticized by some people. (Note 1)
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me."
Listening to the news announced by Minister Yang, everyone around them started talking, and the conference room became a little noisy.
But after he signaled again, everyone still fell silent.
"I also understand how difficult this competition is, so I don't intend to be like the old-fashioned leaders of Xinghai or Guangguang who just ask their own gold medal composers to fight alone. We have our own difficulties. But we also have our advantages."
"That means there is strength in numbers! For this task this time, I said this directly - no one should fight alone, but a temporary task force should be set up. Any interested colleagues can join in to carry out this task. The collective creation of songs!
"
Minister Yang made a suggestion that surprised everyone.
Or it could be an order.
"Everyone works together, learns from each other's strengths, and brainstorms. We strive to use our collective strength to win this song! If we win, the bonus will be awarded according to the contribution of each person, and I will share the contributions of all participants. Contribution is also considered an important part of this year's KPI assessment. I hope everyone can work together to win this international battle!"
He patted the table to make his words sound more powerful.
"Do you have confidence?"
he asked loudly.
"Have confidence!"
"Don't worry, Minister, we will definitely get this list!"
"There is strength in numbers. Other companies are fighting alone. If we work together, victory will definitely belong to Feiyang Entertainment!"
The subordinates all shouted excitedly to show their determination, which made Minister Yang, who was sitting at the top, nod with satisfaction and a smile on his face.
After a while, the meeting ended. Minister Yang signaled his subordinates to leave the conference room first, but he stayed alone and lit a cigarette.
Seeing everyone filing out, leaving him alone in the conference room, Minister Yang, who was gulping and puffing, rubbed his temples tiredly, and then sighed with emotion:
"Well, it would be great if Jiang Kan was still here at this time..."
