Chapter 727, "Baby" won the Billboard Weekly Crown!(1/2)

In the office, several people sat down.

Li Zhifan took the lead in speaking: "Director Zhang, what happened to me..."

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

Before Li Zhifan finished speaking, Director Zhang took the lead in speaking, "That cartoon has been reviewed on the stage. It will be played on New Year's Day. I'll give you a team! You don't know, the animation field in China is still very prosperous. The more than a dozen cartoons I send every month may be played on our channel, and only a few of them are. Yours is really an exception."

"That's really thankful to Director Zhang!"

After Li Zhifan finished speaking, he looked at the other two and immediately said, "Thank you, Secretary Jin and Acting Director."

"Haha, thank you, no need, let's sign the contract quickly!"

Director Zhang stood up and said, "I have to go to Lao Zhou's place and submit this contract to officially schedule the film."

"That's true!" Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Since Director Zhang is so happy, I won't say much. Come and sign!"

There are several contracts, including copyright contracts, share agreements, film purchase agreements, and distribution agreements.

The cartoon "Peppa Pig" not only sold the premiere rights to CCTV, but also sold the distribution rights of other domestic TV stations to CCTV. In other words, in the future, other stations or online broadcast platforms will need to be broadcasted, so you can just ask CCTV for authorization. However, after CCTV distributes it, the copyright income will need to be divided into 30% of the 70% share with Peppa Cultural Studio.

As for the surrounding copyrights, whether to authorize or make them by themselves, it will be decided by Page Cultural Studio.

...

Li Zhifan handed over the songs from the Spring Festival Gala the next day, but it was just a sample and had no one to arrange them.

But perhaps only Li Zhifan has this privilege. Just listen to the sample, and the Spring Festival Gala program team passed the review.

As for the arrangement work, the program team also sent CCTV Symphony Orchestra to contact Li Zhifan, and emphasized that Li Zhifan was fully responsible.

On the other hand, the screening process obtained by "Dream Search" in China was not very good, and only got 10%.

If it weren't for Li Zhifan, maybe there might not be even 10%, mainly because this is an animation, and the premiere screening of the cartoons released in China, no matter which country it is produced, the premiere screening will be no more than 10%.

But it is not completely helpless. As long as the subsequent box office is good and the dark horse can still be used to increase the screening schedule.

In other countries, the same is true for the filming of "Dream Searching" and some are even lower, only a few minutes.

In the following days, Li Zhifan was just as relaxed and comfortable.

Every day I get up and sing with CCTV Symphony Orchestra, and then it’s fine.

Occasionally, I received a notice on variety shows, but I didn’t go out to the outdoor scene. They were all indoors, just to promote "Dream Search and Travel".

In this case, Hua Na found Li Zhifan and proposed the idea of ​​holding a concert.

Of course, it is not held now. The preliminary preparations for a concert last for three months to one year. We need to design the concert brand, formulate the concert route, contact venues in cities across the country, and produce content. Every musician has to finalize and contact. The musicians at the concert are not found casually, and it is even more impossible for Li Zhifan to take care of them all by himself. Moreover, with Li Zhifan's current identity, the musicians must be found internationally.

After finalizing the band, the songs were rehearsed. Some songs needed to be reorganized, and some songs were asked to design according to the theme of the concert even if they were based on the original version.

Including the order of the songs, it is also formulated by the music director. Not only should there be a coherent theme, but it can also ensure that Li Zhifan will not put too much effort into the first half of the concert, resulting in exhaustion in the second half.

However, it is easy to say here for Li Zhifan. When the music director designs a large theme and a small theme and sets up songs in the theme, if the songs in the past cannot be used or are not played enough, Li Zhifan can also use the suitable new songs to fill in.

This is how powerful Li Zhifan is in his BUG.

Since I decided to hold a concert, it will definitely not work before the New Year, so I can only hold it after the New Year.

Huana immediately started contacting several domestic performance companies. Each company had different channels across the country to divide the cakes in the performance market.

For example, some performance companies have good relationships with the cultural departments of major cities in Northeast China, so if other performing arts companies want to conduct cultural performances in Northeast China, they have to cooperate with them. Some have very good channels in several major cities in the south, and some have strong resources and channels only in Beijing or Shanghai Stock Exchange. They can not only perform but also publish.

So this time Huana is the organizer, and the co-organizers below have to find about seven or eight companies to share the cake of Li Zhifan’s concert. It is precisely because Huana has always adhered to this cooperation model that it can develop firmly in the mainland.

However, after several companies met and held meetings, they found that the venues that could hold concerts next year were all set to go out after April.

Especially for big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the earliest one to be decided was the capital, which was also April, and there were only 80,000 people in the national system.

The latest one is Shenzhen, and it is July.

Huana, Beijing branch.

"Zhifan, this is the timetable. If it is feasible, we will make a decision like this. If we push forward, we will not be able to squeeze in!" Huana General Manager Xie Ronghua took out a tentative schedule and handed it to Li Zhifan.

These performance companies have confirmed that they can be held after checking the venues in various places. They include 33 second-tier cities in the mainland. The second-tier cities have not yet been planned. If the previous sessions are sold well, they can extend downwards and contact venues in third- and fourth-tier cities to increase the number of events.

The first concert was held, there were 33 directly, and 7 of them were in stadiums with more than 50,000 people, which was unique in the entire entertainment industry. However, these performance companies did not doubt Li Zhifan's ability at all. Some performance companies have even proposed to buy out the box office of one or several of Li Zhifan's events.

"The first April 16th?"

Li Zhifan calculated the day, "Do you have to wait so long?"

"Long?"

Xie Ronghua couldn't help but be amazed, "This isn't a long time, right? If you add, you might have to wait until next year!"

"Why don't you go abroad first?"

Li Zhifan tapped his finger on the table and said, "There are many Chinese abroad, so they should be able to open it, right?"

"foreign?"

Xie Ronghua scratched his head, "Isn't it good abroad? We haven't achieved results yet. If we go abroad rashly, if we don't sell well, it will affect the ticket sales of domestic concerts."

"Why would I make a few English songs? What billboard do they have?"

Li Zhifan said directly, "Then find a few American big names to cooperate with, and you can attract popularity!"

"You think...uh!"

Xie Ronghua swallowed the five words "It's too simple" and changed his words: "It's not bad, but the billboard is not that easy to go on. Are you sure you can go on?"

"This little thing is that American audiences are also listeners!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "In this way, I will go back to prepare the songs. You contact a foreign performance company and go abroad directly after the New Year. Then connect to the domestic show and make this world tour concert."

"ah!"

Xie Ronghua opened his mouth wide and was extremely surprised, "Then, then you go back and write! I will contact the head office for foreign performance companies and let them be responsible for the arrangements."

Huana Corporation is also a veteran music company in the United States. It is one of the eight largest in the world. However, branches in various regions around the world are self-sufficiency and dividends are given to shareholders every year. For example, Huana in Greater China, in addition to the US headquarter, there are also several small shareholders, and even individual shareholders.

However, the headquarters does not care about branch affairs, and only when joint promotion is carried out, will the head office be the main company.

...

When Li Zhifan got home, he had another job.

Since he is on the US Billboard this time, he will choose the champion singles or runner-up singles of his past years, regardless of whether these songs are liked by mainland audiences or whether they are suitable for them. As long as they can be loved by foreigners, they can be fine.

The first song I chose was Boss Huang's "Shape-of-You", which is the annual champion single of the United States Billboard in another world. With his signature humming and electronic music and brainwashing rhythm, he successfully won the championship.

The second song is "Closer", which entered the top ten Billboard year in 2016 and 2017. The original song is a chorus of men and women, but Li Zhifan has become his solo, and the final effect is no less than that of the harmony.

In addition to this popular single of the year, there are also some old songs, which are not as good as the theme song "Happy" of "Despicable 3", "Baby" of the Little King Bieber, and "Love-Yourself" of his 2016 championship.

In addition, Li Zhifan also wrote some divine singles by female singers, such as Adele's "Rolling-In-The-Deep", which is the most frequent English song on the stage of talent show in another world. Almost every talent show has it, and the Voice stage has appeared in the stage for four consecutive years.

There is also Reddy Gaga’s “Poker-Face” and the brainwashing song “Poker Face”. If it doesn’t appear in this world, it would be too boring. Even if Li Zhifan is a male singer, he can still translate this song into himself and be at ease.

Li Zhifan planned to make an EP for the seven songs he picked, but the release speed was one by one. If the effect was good, there would always be one that could win next year's Billboard Championship, right?

At least, he has to get one of the monthly champions?

After picking it out, Li Zhifan started recording. This time he did not fly to the United States to record, but was on time line production, and did not invite external forces. They were all insiders, led by Li Zhifan and personally served as the producer.

A week later, Li Zhifan released his first English song - "Baby".

In addition to Ding Ri's singing part, there is also the rap of Arthur boy. In this regard, Li Zhifan invited the famous American rapper Ives to help. However, Ives' recording part was completed in the United States and then transmitted through the Internet. After the production is completed, it is handed over to Huana to contact the US headquarters for release.

For Ives, this time, he was just a favor, helping a little, and making some money. He never thought about what kind of sensational song this Chinese singer could bring, nor did he think about how powerful the song he recorded would be in the future, because he didn't even hear the full song, but only got a ray lyrics and music in less than a minute.

When Ives first heard this song, he was only one day earlier than the American audience.

Listening to the full song, Ives was stunned, and suddenly his blood surged.

"What? Is this the song I recorded?"

"How could this be? If this song is about to come out, it will definitely dominate the Billboard Championship list!"

With the keen intuition of a musician and years of experience as a singer, Ives felt that he had gotten a very important opportunity, and this opportunity was only obtained after he had already obtained it.

More importantly, he has never seen the person he sang with!

The next morning at 8:00.

The song "Baby" has been released worldwide.

Relying on Huana's strong promotional and promotional capabilities and the brainwashing effect of the song, the song "Baby" immediately washed away the ears of listeners around the world.

It is just a simple version of the MV.com, which received a click rate of 40 million in one day after Youguan.com was launched, not only breaking the chance of Chinese people following the game, but even squeezing into the top ten of the record list.

On the same day, Ives received numerous phone calls.

Facing these reporters, Ives was very happy and tried his best to praise and promote Li Zhifan on the phone. In fact, he just simply looked at Li Zhifan's information and didn't know anything about him. However, there was no need to play other interviews anyway, just play his musical talent.

Huana never expected that the song "Baby" would be so popular as soon as it was launched, so she rushed to produce everything about Li Zhifan, and asked colleagues from the Beijing branch to take Li Zhifan to take a set of photos to carry out deeper publicity on the American Internet.

In addition to posting some photo photos, this deep-seated publicity also contacted him for endorsement of some American national brands, which are already international brands.

The first endorsement is George Auto, the world's second largest auto brand in annual sales!

Of course, this sales volume is mainly in American countries, and can only rank third in China, fourth in Europe, and even lower in Japan and South Korea, and is often outside the tenth place, but they are too few people and their purchasing power can be ignored.
