Jin Xishan's words made Sun Nan look aggrieved: "I'm afraid you two will really have to take action this time. Do you know what Brother Huan is doing abroad?"
Such a sudden rhetorical question not only shocked Liu Qingshan and Li Zhongsheng, but also Li Zhongsheng's eyes were full of surprise, because he could detect something unusual from his solemn tone.
Sun Nan seemed to be very satisfied with the effect he had brought, but the next moment he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he picked up the tea sent by Li Zhongsheng's apprentice and tasted it carefully.
Li Zhongsheng was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped him: "I said you came here to ask for help, but now you are pretending to be a fool. With your virtue, I would not agree to it!"
Having been in Kyoto for a long time, he has become very skilled in using the northern accent in his mouth, but just thinking about it carefully, he always felt that something was wrong.
Only then did Sun Nan put away his bluster: "Brother Huan is going abroad to find a partner. 2008 will arrive in a blink of an eye. It is initially set that he will sing the Olympic theme song at the opening ceremony. He is anxious. So the teacher introduced him to several famous foreign musicians."
"What does this have to do with us?" Jin Xishan asked strangely.
"Because the content of this interview is about the collection of Olympic songs. In addition to the theme song, the promotional songs before 2008 are equally important. I am one of the members of the collection team, so my appearance on this show was specially arranged by the relevant department. Yes, just to promote future song collection!"
"You still haven't said what it has to do with us?" Jin Xishan's face looked a little unkind.
Liu Qingshan, who was standing next to him, heard something from it, but it was Li Zhongsheng who spoke: "Xishan, there is a big mystery inside! Just imagine that once your own song is noticed by the solicitation group, it means that the national level will come forward. By doing publicity, your songs will appear frequently on any occasion, and what kind of impetus will it give to promoting your fame?"
Even though Jin Xishan was belatedly aware of the situation, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that with the power of a country's propaganda, making the song and the singer a household name would have a terrifying influence.
You must know that China has a population of more than one billion. Even if Liu Qingshan's works at this time are a smash hit, it will never be known to everyone. A song promoted with the power of the country can mean dozens of people. A classic of the year.
In other words, with such a song, even if you do nothing in the next life, you will still be able to earn a living for decades, which is enough to show how rare the opportunity is.
"Isn't there still three and a half years left, and the collection will start now?" Liu Qingshan finally spoke, and it was obvious that he was already moved.
"More than three years seems like enough time. In fact, songs will continue to be released during this period, but each song must go through repeated deliberation and consideration at all levels, and everyone will express his or her own opinion in various meetings. From the creation of the work to the formal The launch cycle has to be half a year, so three and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye!"
Sun Nan's words were quite impatient, but reality is reality, and many things cannot be directly controlled by musicians.
Liu Qingshan became happy after hearing this: "If my estimate is good, other professionals will be invited to participate in this program, right? At least it will be a video of the interview."
Sun Nan gave him a thumbs up: "You guessed it right, there are interviews with several music experts, including Master Gu Yun. Xishan kept asking me what my relationship is with you, so Tell me, if you can come up with an Olympic song in the program three days later, you will seize the most advantageous opportunity first and give the members of the solicitation group a deeper impression at any time. Xishan can understand this explanation. Alright?"
The expression on Jin Xishan's face had already bloomed like a flower, "Thank you, Brother Nan, for thinking about our Shanzi. With such a work, we don't need to sing our own songs live?"
"Those are two different things. I suggest you not to sing together, especially since your new album is about to be released. This is an excellent opportunity for free publicity. Sing a song from the album to increase the popularity first!"
Li Zhongsheng nodded in approval: "Yeah, that's a good idea! The song "Invisible Wings" in the album is my favorite, and the lyrics are full of positive energy and can easily resonate with people, like me!"
Seeing Jin Xishan looking at him, Liu Qingshan expressed his opinion: "Let's sing songs from the album, and brother Zhongsheng's suggestion is very good. Maybe in addition to the solo opportunities for you and me, brother Nan will also try hard to let us sing more First chorus!”
The second half of his sentence was equivalent to making a condition. How could Sun Nan not hear it and quickly expressed his position: "To be honest, it is not easy to invite Shan Zi out of the mountain. I will call the program team immediately and ask him three questions." Let them decide the performance time of the song as early as possible! And you don’t have to worry about the announcement fee, the market price is the minimum standard!”
Before he could finish speaking, he stood up and walked out, making Li Zhongsheng shake his head.
Not far away, Chen Zuming asked a question that many people had in mind: "Teacher, what are you sighing about?"
Li Zhongsheng sighed: "Shanzi is really amazing now. The main guest of this show is Anan, but he can give time for three songs in one episode, and it is not the main guest's performance. You think he has a lot of face." How big is it?”
Almost all the people present were in the industry. After hearing Li Zhongsheng's analysis, they all nodded in agreement.
One variety show only lasts an hour and a half, and interview programs have to be cut down to dozens of minutes. As special guests, Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan, the three songs and the conversation are almost the same as the two of them. ’s exclusive interview.
And listening to Sun Nan’s words, their advertising fees are not a problem at all. The key is that Liu Qingshan’s current net worth is very high. There are relevant reports on his overseas advertising fees in China. Everyone in the industry knows that his current net worth is no less than To some of the top European and American artists.
According to industry regulations, even if his overseas appearance fee is cut in half, he is still worth more than one million U.S. dollars, which is more than ten million dollars when converted into Chinese dollars.
This price is unprecedented in the mainland market. The average fee for domestic stars in 2004 was only a few hundred thousand. It is rare for the top people to have hundreds of thousands.
If we ask him to star in a full season and twelve episodes, the after-tax income can exceed 100 million, and the concept of this price is even more terrifying.
Therefore, Li Zhongsheng's sigh quickly resonated with many people, but for Liu Qingshan, this was not what he was thinking about at this time.
"It seems that if our chorus passes, it won't be suitable for singing English songs. I'm not very fond of our previous choruses. Why don't we also choose one from your album?"
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Jin Xishan lowered his head and thought deeply, Sun Nan had already returned angrily, shouting from a distance: "The program team has agreed, but your chorus must sing the song "We Don' Mort Talk". anye"."
Jin Xishan immediately gave Liu Qingshan a meaningful smile. She still liked this song in her heart, and it was the first song after her voice evolved, which had a very special meaning.
On the other hand, Liu Qingshan was a little curious: "Brother Nan, according to my understanding of our domestic TV market, English songs don't seem to be suitable for singing English songs, right? After all, there are very few people who can understand it."
"You didn't know this!" Sun Nan's words were full of pride, "This song is currently at the top of the charts in more than 20 countries, even better than your song "I Want My Tears" "back" is still ranked high!"
"How is that possible!" Jin Xishan exclaimed: ""I Want My Tears Back" is regarded as a century-old classic by the European and American music circles. I even checked it when I was in Hong Kong, and it has always been firmly occupying the first place in various rankings. Bit!"
Sun Nan happily explained: "This is a heavy metal rock song. This type of music is not ranked as high as "We Don' Mort Talk Anye" in our mainland official media, so what I say is the pop music ranking, not the historical summary. List!”
Liu Qingshan reacted earlier than Jin Xishan and explained softly in his ear: "The mainland market has its own particularities. Music types that are not in line with the mainstream are often deliberately separated. In fact, the rankings of many foreign countries are indeed Counting the song separately, "I Want My Tears Back" is more classified as rock music!"
Jin Xishan still didn't understand, but now that Liu Qingshan explained it, she no longer cared about it.
Sun Nan continued: "Your chorus will be regarded as a continuation of the topic and a temporary encore, so it is not suitable to use a live band!"
He knew that most of the live performances abroad used the method of band cooperation. Firstly, it was to prove that it was not lip-syncing, and secondly, it was a real live performance, which extremely tested the singer's true strength.
At present, music accompaniment is still the usual method in China, which can not only ensure the effect of the performance, but also ensure that no performance accidents occur.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingshan immediately gave him a warning: "You can use an accompaniment tape for the chorus, but the new song I wrote for the Olympics needs a live band, because that song is only suitable for band accompaniment!"
Sun Nan gave him a roll of his eyes: "Wouldn't it be better to wait until you finish what you said before hitting me? And I have already said what I said in my head, so don't come up with a heavy metal song for me when the time comes. Olympic songs need positive energy, Shao Come out with a weird song like "I Want My Tears Back" or you will be eliminated from my place!"
"'I Want My Tears Back' is not a strange song," Li Zhongsheng interrupted him with a smile, "I was shocked when I heard it. Does it mean that your understanding of music is deeper than my decades of creative career? "
Sun Nan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I just said it casually, besides, that style of music is really not suitable for the domestic stage!"
Liu Qingshan was too lazy to talk nonsense to him: "I have written so many songs, isn't this one special? Don't worry, that song is rock style at best, and the melody and lyrics are quite inspirational!"
