"Three songs, and one only has a melody and no lyrics." Despite his young age, Taylor is still very capable in music creation.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "You hurry up and add the words, and I will help you prepare a few more songs. Add "Dream It Possible" and the Chinese song, and it's basically the same!" The Chinese song is called "一"Millions of Possibilities", this song is a well-known annual song that has been popular on major short video platforms in the past and has been popular for several consecutive years. Its lyrics and original singer were originally written by a foreign girl.
This beautiful song evokes many images of winter in the minds of Chinese people, as well as the infinite possibilities contained in every moment of life, and has aroused deep resonance among netizens.
At that time, many people began to regard it as their inner background music. The pleasant melody was closely related to the integration of more classical culture, because the lyrics were inspired by the works of the ancient philosopher Zhuangzi.
Moreover, in a certain part of the song, the tempo speeds up, giving this song based on traditional classics a rap-like modern feel, which can already be called a classic.
It is also a song that Taylor will perform in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Although it is still in the track approval period, according to insiders, it is highly likely to be approved.
In addition to her own overseas popularity, what plays a key role is of course also closely related to foreigners singing the Chinese national anthem, because this event is of great significance and has a considerable influence on promoting the overseas spread of Chinese culture.
Taylor immediately beamed: "With this Chinese song included in the album, my new album will definitely sell well here. Haha, I like it!" Liu Qingshan smiled and reminded her: "This song can also be used to create a For the English version, you are responsible for writing the lyrics yourself, so that a Chinese national anthem can be interpreted in different cultural background styles. People here will be very happy. Europeans and Americans can also see that Eastern pop music has international popularity. How great. It's something!" Grace, who came to pick her up at the airport, is obviously very familiar with the Western pop music market: "The Spring Festival Gala in China is like the Super Bowl over there. Foreigners are qualified to be present on that stage. This factor must be Make it a topic and hype it up in advance!" Liu Qingshan took it seriously: "Not only do we need to speculate, but we also need to do it as early as possible. Why should you become popular among so many singers? It's not that the quality of other people's works is not as good as yours, but that the marketing methods must be up to par. Come on!" Taylor, who is still young, is already well aware of this truth: "I just don't know how well Mercedes-Benz is helping me. I heard that the selection of actors for the Spring Festival Gala in China is particularly strict. Those who have not passed the first two rounds After rehearsals, it will be difficult to enter the main list!" Jin Xishan smiled and said: "There are exceptions to everything. You see, Shanzi and I did not participate in the first two rounds of rehearsals, and only had to go through the motions in the fifth round!" Liu Qingshan was also laughing. : "Today is special. Not only does it attach great importance to the artists in our snowy area, but it also introduces advertisers from overseas for the first time. It has not been confirmed yet, and everyone should be waiting for Trichy's arrival. Fortunately, he will be there tomorrow. Here we come!" Trichy's team was supposed to land in Kyoto today with Jin Xishan and the others, but due to the appearance of Liu Qingshan's design, the schedule was temporarily changed.
At this moment, a call came from National Television, but it was Sun Wenbin, the director of the variety show channel.
"Mr. Liu, our station had a big discussion about your song in the afternoon, and we all agreed that it has reason to become a promotional song for theme concerts before 2020!" Liu Qingshan was surprised to receive his call: " Why is Director Sun in charge of this matter? Shouldn't it be a matter of the General Department of the Large Program Center?" The other side smiled and said: "That's right, I'm not even qualified to participate in the meeting, let alone decide on the choice of this song. . In fact, I heard about the content of the meeting, and through our deputy director Yu, I won the right to premiere on National Television. In other words, your song will be launched on our variety show first, but before that, publicity The question may be posted on 1 news channel!”
"Why didn't I quite understand?"
"Tomorrow night at 7:30, there will be an introduction to the themed audio-visual concert project on the network news. "Light" will be shown as a promotional song for more than ten seconds. Then our variety show channel will officially broadcast the full version the next day version, that evening, Kyoto Satellite TV will also broadcast the recording of this song, as well as a more detailed introduction to the project!"
"I seem to understand, that is to say, the establishment of the project must be announced on the news station first, and then promoted on your channel. The relevant content broadcast on Kyoto Channel is to cooperate with the grassroots popularization of the propaganda."
"It can be said that this series of promotion is for the comprehensive promotion of the new form of folk music symphony in the future. Although it is still broadcast on Kyoto Channel, the most critical driving force will be our channel on New Year's Day. A folk music-themed program officially launched on the first day of the new year is called "Listen to Folk Music on Holidays"."
"You called me to talk about this? It has nothing to do with me, right?"
"It's a big deal! Because your song will be broadcast on our channel starting tomorrow, and of course it will be in the form of an advertisement. When the song becomes popular, there will be an issue of "Listening to Folk Music on Holidays" during the Chinese New Year that invites you to The way this song came out!”
"Isn't this program a special topic? Does it need many episodes?"
"There are seven episodes in total, from the first day to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, one episode will be broadcast every day."
"Sorry, we already have a schedule here. We will start recording on the second day of the new year. It is a self-driving variety show. We asked Mercedes-Benz to sponsor it because of this show. I'm afraid I don't have time to accept your invitation!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Liu, don't worry, we all know this. Your episode was actually recorded in advance, that is, it was edited before the Chinese New Year!" Liu Qingshan was thinking, and he immediately added He said: "Of course we will be compensated. I heard that one of your programs will go to the snowy mountains of Tibet. We happen to have a camera crew there to collect folk music. We are very familiar with the local Tibetan music. Then the two parties can have a good relationship. Cooperation!" Upon hearing this suggestion, Liu Qingshan was immediately moved.
He knew in his mind that although the variety show produced by his company had been contacted by Shanghai TV, the other party was interested in broadcasting it in a separate recording and broadcasting method that he proposed.
However, this type of cooperation is still a new thing in the mainland, and Snowland Entertainment has no precedent in this regard. The specific figures are still open to discussion.
Although there are three big names like him, Jin Xishan and Taylor in the show, which is enough to make all the mainland broadcast platforms jealous, but for a variety show that has never appeared before, it will be difficult to get a good price after negotiation.
If National Television joins, even if it is only one episode, the overall quality of this program will be virtually improved, which will greatly promote the subsequent price negotiations.
More importantly, according to Liu Qingshan's settings, the sales fee for this program will be very high. This is because it will face the international market in the future, and of course the overall price must be in line with overseas market prices.
Moreover, it is the first time for a variety show with international effects to appear in China. How to determine whether the purchase amount is appropriate will be a big choice issue for various broadcast platforms.
So he laughed: "This suggestion is good, but what kind of cooperation method are you talking about?"
"We will discuss this matter later. At least our National Television has an influence and appeal in remote areas that ordinary people can't imagine. For example, we can hold temporary folk concerts and so on. We will organize a snow show that is far better than Mr. Liu's. Domain Entertainment needs to be taken seriously, right?”
"That is, the huge golden brand of National Television can be used anywhere in the country as long as it is placed!"
"And don't worry, it doesn't even take a day to record that episode. To sing a song, to show your talents in some other aspects, preferably in ethnic musical instruments, it may not even take half a day!"
"Then I have to understand the music form in advance, right?"
“In short, it’s related to folk music, and I don’t rule out pairing it with other modern music forms!”
"If it is paired with electronic music, I mean inviting the Punk Brothers to cooperate with my performance, and I will perform a suona solo live during the concert!"
"Damn it, electronic music paired with suona, what did you think that there would be such a novel form of music?"
"But the song is in English. Will it conflict greatly with the theme of our folk music?"
"No, electronic music is the latest trendy music form at the moment. The famous songs that people are familiar with are all in English. If a Chinese song pops up unexpectedly, it is more likely to be regarded as a folk song. In the full of foreign style music form Here, due to the use of suona, the image of our folk musical instruments as being inferior can be greatly improved. I personally think that not only does it not violate harmony, but it highlights the inclusiveness and promoteability of folk music!"
"How about I invite the two of them to go to the National Television to rehearse some other day, and you and the leaders can see what the real effect will be?"
"Don't wait for another day, let's do it the day after tomorrow. Our channel happens to have an internal meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon. Let's consider the review of this program as part of the meeting for the time being! But we have agreed that we can't even pay for your normal announcement expenses. , coupled with that well-known electronic music group from the United States, your advertising fees will become your biggest problem!"
"Director Sun, forget about my announcement fee. There is still follow-up cooperation between us anyway, but the Punk Brothers have to pay enough! They are first-line artists throughout Europe and the United States, and the price they have given to us has already been paid. If the discount is not enough, it will be unjustifiable!”
"I don't need to pay you, I have the right to decide, but I have to know the specific amount. I think our channel can still make some money."
"Then the day after tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon?"
"Don't be stuck here. The equipment must be debugged in advance, and we must be mentally prepared for the guest announcement fee. Otherwise, the rehearsal effect will be excellent, but in the end we will be stuck on the expense, which will look like we are National Television and even Chinese people are not sincere!"
