Chapter 647 "Scarborough Fair" explodes, Tianhai cooperates with Universal

Author: Guan Yunhai

Chen Xueqi's popularity abroad is average. Although "Dream It 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.

, only three million followers on Twitter.

Why is it that her works are too few? As an Oriental, she only sang one English song, and she was able to gain the attention of three million foreign fans, which is actually quite good.

Some of the so-called international stars in China may not have more than one million Twitter followers. Even if they have more than one million, it’s unknown how much of them they have.

Anyway, when "Scarborough Fair" was released, it was very 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 handed down from generation to generation. And Chen Xueqi's voice is also incredible, her English is pure, and she completely sings the taste of this song, which is sweet, sad, and regretful. So those are worthy of it.

As soon as the promotional clip of the theme song was released, it became a hit 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.

Anyway, since the release of these high-energy clips, the playback volume of "ScarboroughFair" has been rising steadily, and it has become a hit on the international network overnight. Open Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, and you can hear the song "ScarboroughFair" 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 celebrities have 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. They wondered where did this Chen Xueqi come from? And which songwriter "Scarborough Fair" is the work of? Isn't this too outrageous?

I clicked on Chen Xueqi's personal homepage and found that there was another song under Chen Xueqi's personal homepage. When I saw the name of the song, many people thought it was no wonder. It turned out to be the singer of "Dream It Possible". No wonder it sounded so good.

It also topped all major charts.

When "Dream It 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 looks familiar. Someone searched for Wang Xuan's name on Google, and a series of titles popped up, which made him dumbfounded.

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 these few names have swayed countless people.

You know, these songs are all classics handed down from generation to generation. They have been released for a long time, but they are still very popular in the international music industry and are loved by countless people. In the eyes of many Waiguoren, those who can create these few songs are still very popular in the international music industry.

The Chinese musician who composed the first song is simply a god, the type that 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 and rarely watches Chinese movies. In the eyes of the international entertainment industry,

Here, 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 the Billboard, UK, and global music charts new song charts? That song is really good, with a strong British flavor, what? Is the songwriter of that song very famous?

"

"Wang Xuan, the top ganqin musician of Huaguo International, the creator of "Mariage D'Amour" and "Canon", the creator of the theme song "The Dawn" of "World of Warcraft 3", the theme song "DOTA" "The

Do you think the creator of "Mass" 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 Wang Xuan. 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 composed 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!"

"Is there no one talking about the singer of "ScarboroughFair"? In my opinion, the singer of "ScarboroughFair" 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 of the list. Is it amazing? But I really didn't expect that Chen Xueqi sang it.

"ScarboroughFair" sounds so good, it is definitely a classic that is as good as "Dream It Possible"."

"Pure appearance, tall figure, gentle and elegant temperament, full of strong oriental style, sweet yet magnetic voice, pure English, the key is to have the great god Wang Xuan to prove it, 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 still have a truly international diva. Like Chen Xueqi, no record company will be able to refuse it. It is estimated that Warner, Universal, EMI, and SONY have already started

Contacted Chen Xueqi."

"You're talking bullshit! Without Wang Xuan, how can Chen Xueqi stand out? How can he show off his qualifications? Since he can't stand out, how can Chen Xueqi be tapped by the top record companies in the world?"

"That's true."

"The controversy you have upstairs is of no use at all. Without Wang Xuan to tell the whole story? This assumption is simply not valid. 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."

"Ah? 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 Xuan is not short of money. He is a big capitalist and has a first-class entertainment company in China. Not only that, as far as I know, just the Chinese songs that Wang Xuan created bring him copyright dividends every year.

No less than 100 million."

"100 million in copyright dividends? This is awesome!"

“Everyone is awesome wherever he is!”

These netizens guessed well. While Chen Xueqi was cooperating in the promotion of "War and Peace" abroad, foreign entertainment companies have begun to contact her. Warner, Universal, EMI, SONY, Polygram, Decca, there are many of them, and they all hope to

Digging Chen Xueqi into his own 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 the contract, she can't lose anything.

That kind of.

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.

She doesn't take fame and fortune very seriously.

First of all, she is not short of money, her family has a mine, and she can spend it in a few lifetimes. She does not need to be famous, she just likes singing. Her original goal is to become a domestic diva. Chen Xueqi does not insist on international divas.

, If it were not for her becoming an international queen that 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 they sign a contract with them, they will do their best to help her quickly become a top international diva. Chen Xueqi believes that Wang Xuan

It's also possible, and it won't do any worse than these foreign record companies.

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 fame internationally? Without Wang Xuan, who would know her abroad?

Will the 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 was very clean. She did not go around the bush with these record companies, but directly declined their good intentions, saying bluntly that she could not terminate her contract with Tianhai. After that, she refused to contact these record companies on the grounds that she could not spare the time.

.

Some companies feel uncomfortable, secretly scolding Chen Xueqi for being ignorant and starting to put on airs before the whole network becomes popular. 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 snipe Chen Xueqi.

She is not allowed to successfully become an international diva. After all, the pie in the international entertainment industry is so big. If Chen Xueqi becomes a top international diva, she will definitely take away a lot of the cake.

Some companies still refused to give up and could not contact Chen Xueqi, so they contacted Tianhai to 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 the possibility of jointly operating Chen Xueqi with Tianhai. To put it bluntly, it is a brokerage company model. Specifically, Tianhai hires people to produce works, and they are responsible for the operation. Or they also produce works and give them to Chen Xueqi to sing.

They will still help operate it, and the profits generated will be divided into dividends with Tianhai.

This is negotiable.

How should I put it? In terms of resources in the international entertainment industry, Tianhai is completely incomparable to these top international record companies. It can even be said to be worlds apart.

If Tianhai operates on his own, Chen Xueqi can also become an international diva, 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.

If the same work and the same Chen Xueqi are handed over to these top international record companies, it will be at least half as easy for Chen Xueqi to become an international queen.

Finally, Tianhai and Universal Music Records reached a cooperation. Specifically, Tianhai hired people and produced works, and Universal Music Records was responsible for the operations. Tianhai shared 60% of the revenue generated and Universal Music received 40%. Of course, of the 40%

Including 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 2000 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 three-quarters of the net profit, while Universal Music only gets a quarter of the net profit.

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 to reach strategic cooperation on Chen Xueqi's international route, causing thousands of waves with one stone.

Many people were confused.
