Chen Xueqi's popularity abroad is average. Although "Dreamit Possible" has been popular abroad for a while and has even become the ringtone of countless people's mobile phones, what is popular is the song. Her popularity abroad is at most a third-rate level. The special attention is only three million. prostrate
Who makes her works too few? As an Oriental, I only sang one English song and it was actually quite good to gain the attention of three million foreign fans.
Some of the so-called international stars in China may not have more than one million followers on Twitter. Even if it's over a million, it's unknown how much water is in it.
Anyway, when "ScarboroughFair" was released, it was quiet at first, and not many people paid attention to the song.
But with the screening of "War and Peace", Chen Xueqi sang the movie's theme song "Scarborough Fair" at the end of the screening ceremony. Coupled with the processing and publicity of the on-site media, "Scarborough Fair" became an immediate hit.
Before the movie was officially released, the high-energy clips of the movie were everywhere, and paired with the theme song "Scarborough Fair" sung by Chen Xueqi, it was simply awesome.
The main thing is that the song "Scarborough Fair" is so outrageous, it is a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation. And Chen Xueqi's voice is incredible, her English is pure, and she completely sings the taste of this song, which is sweet, sad, and regretful... So as soon as the promotional clips with the theme song were released, they became popular on the entire international network.
I don’t know how many people are looking forward to the movie because of this song, or how many people like this song because of the high-energy clips of the movie. prostrate
Anyway, since the release of these high-energy clips, the number of views of "Scarborough Fair" has been rising steadily, becoming an international hit overnight. Open Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, and you can hear the song "Scarborough Fair" everywhere.
"Scarborough Fair" also went from being ignored at the beginning to breaking into the top 100, top 50, top 20, and top 10 of new songs on major foreign mainstream music lists overnight. Three days later, it even surpassed one An international pop queen and several international big names, she topped the new song charts of Billboard, UK, and global music charts.
At this time, "War and Peace" has not yet been officially released.
Countless international celebrities were stunned when they saw this scene. I wonder where did this ChenXueqi come from? And "Scarborough Fair" is the work of which songwriter. Isn't this too outrageous?
Clicking on ChenXueqi's personal homepage, I found that there was another song under ChenXueqi's personal homepage. When I saw the name of the song, countless people thought it was no wonder. It turned out to be the singer of "Dreamit Possible". No wonder it sounded so good and it topped all the major charts.
When "Dreamit Possible" came out that year, it topped all major pop charts, beating international diva Aina'er.
It's Wang Xuan, the songwriter of "Scarborough Fair", but who is it? The name looked familiar. Someone searched for Wang Xuan's name on Google, and the series of names that popped up made him dumbfounded. prostrate
The top international harp musician, the creator of "Mariage D'Amour" and "Canon", the creator of the theme song "The Dawn" of "World of Warcraft 3", the creator of the theme song "The Mass" of "DOTA", just this A few names can calm countless people.
You know, these songs are all classics handed down from generation to generation. They were released not long ago, but they are still very popular in the international music industry and are loved by countless people. In the eyes of many Wai Guoren, the Chinese musician who can create these pieces of music is simply a god-level person who makes people worship him.
In comparison, the names of famous Chinese songwriters, singers, and directors are not worth mentioning. After all, Wai Guoren rarely listens to Chinese songs or watches Chinese movies. In the eyes of the international entertainment industry, Chinese-language songs and Chinese-language movies are niche and difficult to reach the mainstream.
However, Wang Xuan's international reputation is enough to seduce countless people.
Wang Xuan’s name immediately hit Twitter.
"Come and see the great god!"
"What a great god!"
"The songwriter of "Scarborough Fair"!"
"Is "Scarborough Fair" now dominating Billboard, UK, and the global music chart's new song chart? That song is really good, with a strong British flavor, what? Is the songwriter of that song famous? "
"WangXuan, Huaguo International's top ganqin musician, the creator of "Mariage D'Amour" and "Canon", the creator of the theme song "The Dawn" of "World of Warcraft 3", and the creator of the theme song "The Mass" of "DOTA" He, do you think he is famous?"
"Damn it, it turns out to be this big boss!"
"Oh my God, this is definitely a top music star!"
"I didn't expect that the English songs composed by this big guy were so awesome. He actually beat out several new songs from famous composers to reach the top of the new song chart."
"What's unexpected about this? The song "Dream It Possible" was also composed by WangXuan. Don't tell me you haven't heard of this song?"
"I've definitely heard it. My current ringtone is "Dream It Possible". It turns out that this song was created by this guy. No wonder."
"With 'Dream It Possible' and this song 'Scarborough Fair', China is really going to produce a top international musician. I don't mean a top international pianist, but an international popular musician."
"Yes, "Dream It Possible" can be said to be a fluke, but this song "Scarborough Fair" undoubtedly once again proves the ability of this boss. To use a famous Chinese saying, this is a dragon who has crossed the river!"
"Isn't there anyone talking about the singer of "Scarborough Fair"? In my opinion, the singer of "Scarborough Fair", Chen Xueqi, is also very amazing. His voice is simply heavenly."
"Needless to say? "Dream It Possible" was also sung by the oriental beauty Chen Xueqi. Once the song was released, it surpassed Ainaer to reach the top. Is it amazing? But I really didn't expect that "Scarborough Fair" sung by Chen Xueqi If it sounds so good, it is definitely a classic that is as good as "Dream It Possible"."
"She has a pure appearance, a tall figure, a gentle and elegant temperament, full of strong oriental style, a sweet yet magnetic voice, and pure English. The key is that the great god Wang Xuan has the secret. China is about to produce a true international pop queen. "
"Even if Wang Xuan doesn't have the backing, based on Chen Xueqi's conditions, China will have a truly international diva. No record company can refuse Chen Xueqi. It is estimated that Warner, Universal, EMI, and SONY have already begun to contact Chen Xueqi. ."prostrate
"You're talking bullshit! Without Wang Xuan to tell the truth, how can ChenXueqi take the lead? How can he show off his qualifications? Since he can't take the lead, how can he possibly tap ChenXueqi with the stubbornness of the top international record companies?"
"That's true."
"The controversy you have upstairs is of no use at all. Without Wang Xuan to tell the truth? This assumption is simply not true. Do you know that the relationship between Wang Xuan and Chen Xueqi is an open boyfriend and girlfriend, and they have reached the point of discussing marriage."
"Huh? No wonder!"
"No wonder both "Dream It Possible" and "Scarborough Fair" were sung by Chen Xueqi. It turns out there is another reason."
"Yes, if these two songs were sung for international divas like Aina'er, Wang Xuan's income would be huge."
"The problem is that Wang Less than 100 million."
"100 million in copyright dividends? This is awesome!"
"Awesome people are awesome wherever they are!"
.......
These netizens guessed well. While Chen Xueqi was cooperating in the promotion of "War and Peace" abroad, foreign entertainment companies began to contact her. Warner, Universal, EMI, SONY, Polygram, Decca, there are many of them, all hoping to recruit Chen Xueqi to their name.
As long as Chen Xueqi is willing to sign a contract with them, these companies are even willing to pay liquidated damages in advance to help Chen Xueqi terminate the contract with Tianhai Entertainment. After all, Chen Xueqi has the potential to become a top international pop diva. She is a cash cow. As long as she can sign her, she can't lose anything.
Unfortunately, Tianhai is Wang Xuan's company, how could Chen Xueqi terminate her contract with Tianhai?
Furthermore, the conditions offered by these companies could not impress Chen Xueqi. prostrate
She doesn't take fame and fortune seriously.
First of all, she is not short of money. She has a mine at home and can spend it in a few lifetimes. She doesn’t need to be famous, she just likes to sing. Her original goal was to become a domestic queen. Chen Xueqi does not insist on becoming an international queen. If she had not become an international queen, it would help Tianhai's development and increase Tianhai's international reputation. Chen Xueqi would not necessarily go international.
So it is impossible to impress her with fame and fortune. Furthermore, these entertainment companies have boasted so much about themselves that as long as she signs a contract with them, they will do their best to help her quickly become a top international diva. Chen Xueqi believes that Wang Xuan can do it too, and will not do better than these foreign record companies. Poor company.
Think about it, how long did it take for her to go from a second-tier singer to a first-tier superstar? How long did it take for her to accumulate so much international fame? Without Wang Xuan, who abroad would know her? Will these top international record companies come to her one by one with a lot of money, begging her to sign a contract?
impossible!
Therefore, Chen Xueqi's family is very clear. She didn't go around the bush with these record companies and directly declined their good intentions, saying bluntly that there was no way she could terminate her contract with Tianhai. After that, I refused to contact these record companies because I couldn't spare the time.
Some companies felt uncomfortable, secretly scolding Chen Xueqi for being ignorant and starting to put on airs before it became popular on the entire network. They want to see what will happen to Chen Xueqi's subsequent development after rejecting them? Some companies even hold back some bad water and plan to attack Chen Xueqi and prevent her from successfully becoming an international queen. After all, the pie in the international entertainment industry is only so big. If Chen Xueqi becomes a top international diva, she will definitely take a lot of the pie. prostrate
Some companies still refused to give up and could not contact Chen Xueqi, so they contacted Tianhai. Discuss the possibility of buying out Chen Xueqi from Tianhai.
But how could Tianhai buy out Chen Xueqi?
Let’s not talk about the relationship between Chen Xueqi and Wang Xuan. Just talk about Chen Xueqi. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a cash cow. How could Tianhai kill the goose and get the eggs?
When the buyout failed, these companies discussed with Tianhai the possibility of jointly operating Chen Xueqi. To put it bluntly, it was a brokerage company model. Specifically, Tianhai hires people to produce works, and they are responsible for the operation. Or they may also produce works and give them to Chen Xueqi to sing, and they will still help to operate them, and the profits generated will be shared with Tianhai.
This is negotiable.
How to put it this way, in terms of resources in the international entertainment industry, Tianhai is completely incomparable with these top international record companies. It can even be said to be a world of difference.
If Tianhai operates on his own, Chen Xueqi can also become an international queen, but that is to use Wang Xuan's works and Chen Xueqi's hard-core ability to break into the international pop music scene, which is completely different from the operation of these top international record companies. prostrate
With the same work and the same Chen Xueqi, if it is handed over to these top international record companies, it would be at least half as easy for Chen Xueqi to become an international queen.
Finally, Tianhai reached a cooperation with Universal Music Records. Specifically, Tianhai recruits people and produces works, and Universal Music Records is responsible for the operation. Tianhai shares 60% of the revenue generated and Universal shares 40%. Of course, this 40% includes operating costs.
For example, a song generates 100 million in revenue, of which 20 million are spent on promotion and other costs, and the net profit is 80 million. Tianhai can get 60 million, and Universal Music can get 40 million, but 2,000 can be deducted. With operating costs of RMB 20 million, Universal Music’s net income is actually only RMB 20 million. This is equivalent to Tianhai taking away three-quarters of the net profits, and Universal Music only getting a quarter of the net profits.
Naturally, Universal Music’s 40% profit cannot be taken for nothing. How to promote and contribute in the middle must be guaranteed and written into the terms. I won’t go into details here.
On August 10, Tianhai and Universal Music China issued a joint statement on strategic cooperation regarding Chen Xueqi's international career, which caused thousands of waves.
Many people were confused.
