Entertainment Unlimited

On the morning of April 17th.

Ding Shaokun came to the company early, turned on the computer in the office, and looked at the Jiuzhou Music new song list. "Coronation" had been squeezed out of the top ten.

To be exact, he has been restless since just after midnight today.

[Summer Boy], which made its high-profile official debut in Shanghai last night, has had a good start with its first mini-album.

Two songs from the album entered the top ten of the New Songs Chart, one ranked fifth and the other eighth; one song ranked fourteen and one ranked seventeen.

Three of the four songs are in the top fifteen.

Although the new songs chart is not as valuable as the hot songs chart, the outstanding performance is enough to illustrate the quality of this album.

Ding Shaokun felt deep pressure, picked up and put down the cigar in his hand, and walked to the large French window.

If you look closely, Jing Xiangyun probably sees that he holds the crown prince's trump card, and is holding his breath and waiting for a big move to come to him today.

The current situation is not optimistic, Ding Shaokun thought.

Nowadays, Lu Yuntian, chairman of Tianyou Entertainment, has passed the age of maturity and is less involved in specific affairs.

Ding Shaokun and Jing Xiangyun are both vice presidents of Tianyou Group, one in the south and one in the north, each in charge of a branch.

Last year, Mr. Lu was interested in choosing a successor, and the years-old competition between Ding Shaokun and Jing Xiangyun gradually became more intense.

Especially this year's results will directly affect who of the two will be in charge of Tianyou Entertainment in the future.

Ding Shaokun suddenly laughed. Yes, after fighting with Jing Xiangyun overtly and covertly for so many years, he had forgotten that that woman was never a vegetarian.

This time, Director Cheng supported him and asked him to personally send Master Cheng off for his debut. Why did he underestimate the enemy?

The plan was perfect before. I spent a lot of money to customize a single for Mr. Cheng, successfully hit the charts, and then released my first album while it was hot. Everything was under control.

Unexpectedly, Jing Xiangyun suddenly made a counterattack, catching him off guard.

I originally wanted to rely on a series of operations after g.nd's performance to make a comeback, but in the end, Jing Xiangyun was forced to beat me.

I have to admit that in the dispute between the North and the South these years, the Southern branch overall has won a lot, and the difference lies in the idol group section.

Jing Xiangjun is better at exploring market demand, and the boy groups he launched in recent years are very popular among fans.

Times are changing rapidly, and Ding Shaokun feels that he can no longer understand Xiaoyoun.

Tianyou's group promotion has formed a standardized process. Every spring, new members debut, promote and build momentum, release albums, appear on singing shows, and perform variety shows.

Summer music festivals, autumn tours, and fan meetings are held; at the end of the year, we participate in various awards and judge success or failure based on the cumulative sales of albums and data.

After a set of procedures, time is tight and the tasks are heavy. If one step is slow, the next step will be slow.

Calculating the company's KPI, facing Jing Xiangyun's fierce attack, the key to winning or losing lies in the performance of the new combinations promoted by both parties this year.

And this competition will also decide between him and Jing Xiangyun, who is more capable of leading Tianyou Entertainment to continue to expand its territory.

The current situation is that with g.nd's current strength, the chips are far from enough; it is too late to change Mr. Cheng to a better song.

To win, you have to find another recruit.

As soon as Ding Shaokun arrived at the company in the morning, he held an emergency meeting. At nine o'clock sharp, deputy Tian Hao, artist management department director Lin Sen, and record department music director Peng Yuan all arrived.

Peng Yuan suggested: "Mr. Ding, do you want to accelerate the progress of g.nd's album and launch it ahead of schedule?

I don’t have a big problem here, it’s just that there is one song that Mr. Cheng is very demanding and he was not satisfied even after recording it several times.”

Last night, Peng Yuan finished listening to the new album of "Summer Boy" after reaching the ranking of the new song chart.

I don’t know how Mr. Jing managed to hire a well-known music producer from Xiangjiang who had been in seclusion for several years. This is not just about having money.

"It's useless to go online in advance. I still can't beat Jing Xiangyun." Ding Shaokun strengthened his tone, "Even if I go to "New Music Power" to compete, I'm afraid I won't be able to win the championship."

"New Music Power" is a music program produced and broadcast by Xiangyuntai in Beijing. It is once a month. It is the most authoritative among the five major singing programs and is one of the trendsetters in the domestic pop music scene.

Singers will strive to participate during the album or single promotion period. The award is a very important support and affirmation, especially for newcomers.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jing to be so ruthless. It seems that Mr. Cheng's group alone can't defeat it." Tian Hao sighed.

"Lin Sen, I read the document you sent to my email last night." Ding Shaokun was thinking about the Jiangye Band's debut, "Please explain it and let's discuss it."

Along the way from artist assistant to director of the agency department, Lin Sen has managed more than a hundred artists, large and small, in the Tianyou Northern Branch. He has also personally brought out A-list stars and has rich experience.

After the performance, Lin Sen had an idea for Jiang Ye's next plan.

He opened the ppt, projected it on the big screen in the conference room, and explained: "My suggestion is to form another band and join forces with G.nd to compete with Mr. Jing.

In fact, band groups are not a new thing. In the past two years, Kimchi and Sakura have had successful cases of becoming popular.

Taking advantage of Jiang Ye's popularity and the topic of "Floating to the North" is still there, it is perfect to create an original concept and select a few people to debut as a band with him."

"Is it possible to push two groups at the same time?" Tian Hao asked doubtfully.

Lin Sen continued: "Several of Mr. Jing's boy groups, including the currently promoted [Summer Boys], are basically prince-style, friendly and energetic idols, with clear fan positioning.

[g.nd] sings and dances rap. From the image to the music style, the overall packaging design is high-end, cold and sexy. At that time, it was also to differentiate the market from Mr. Jing’s side.

Let Jiang Ye debut as a band and not compete with anyone else."

"Except for him and Yao Xiao, I think the other three were re-elected. They are about the same age. Time is so tight. Is there enough time to adjust?" Peng Yuan asked.

"Those three have also played musical instruments. They have the basics. It won't be difficult to practice together." Lin Sen didn't take it seriously. "Besides, the band is just a gimmick. It's not like they really rely on the instruments to make a living. It won't be a problem."

Peng Yuan frowned: "It's okay to play in a band, but focus on originality. Does Jiang Ye have any songs? If it's of a quality like "Floating to the North," that's okay."

"This song is quite unexpected. Jiang Ye has been in the company for six years, and I have never heard that he can compose it." Lin Sen said with a slight doubt.

Tian Hao chuckled and joked: "Maybe I bought it too. It's just a rap song. If you're lucky, you'll find a new rapper selling the song, and it won't cost you much."

“‘Gone North’ is good, but if they form a band, they’d better not use rap songs.

Even if Jiang Ye is good at composing, it is unlikely that he will come up with a few high-quality works suitable for the band in the short term.

It's better to just pick a few songs from the company's music library, the style will be unified and the quality will be guaranteed." Peng Yuan said firmly.

"Yes, that's how it should be. Go back and choose the songs and directly sign them as their original works. The contract and money are in place. It's nothing new anyway." Lin Sen agreed.

Tian Hao immediately agreed: "Yes, this way we can avoid collision with Mr. Cheng and the others. The routes of the two groups are different.

As for Mr. Jing, the only opponent is [Summer Boys]. If we can't do it in one group, we can join two. We don't put all the eggs in the same basket, so it's better to prepare with multiple hands.

Maybe we can get some surprises like the last performance."

"Since everyone thinks it's feasible, let's give it a try. Lin Sen, you can do it, just as a band.

Peng Yuan decided on the song and arranged for them to practice it for two days and record it as soon as possible." Ding Shaokun thought about it and gave it a try, betting on all the cards he could play.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Ye and Yao Xiao, who also received the call notification, came to Lin Sen's office together.

There were three other people on the big leather sofa in the reception area, all of whom they knew, but that was all.

then--

Vocalist, Jiang Ye; bassist, Yao Xiao; drummer, Gu Chuan; guitar, Gao Xin; keyboardist, Wang Zihao.

The reorganized band [dream5] was established in this way.

Lin Sen talked with both kindness and power for a long time. From the formation of the group to the follow-up activities, the pie was drawn. I hope they can keep up the good work and work hard to prepare for the "New Music Power" in May.

Jiang Ye listened to Lin Sen's talk and was quite surprised that the company allowed them to debut as a band.

When talking about playing songs, Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, can you make original works..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Sen immediately interrupted him: "Don't get me wrong, the band is just a way of presentation, it's just a marketing package, it's not for you to really play punk.

Rock has long since declined, and pop music should still be the main focus. The company will select songs for you, and you can arrange them together and record them very quickly."

"I still have some songs of my own, which are okay." Jiang Ye still didn't give up and continued to fight.

Lin Sen's eyes widened and he coughed dryly: "Are you sure? "Floating to the North" is not suitable."

"Don't worry, I will make a demo in the next two days. Then we will compare it with the works selected by Director Peng, and decide which leader to use." Jiang Ye's eyes were burning and very sincere.

Lin Sen hesitated for a moment.

He nodded and agreed.
