All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 279 279. Huge Sensation
After the song "Northern Spring" passed the review, all the songs that Yue Wenxuan was allowed to sing during the visit and exchange were also confirmed.

During the visit and exchange, he sang a total of six songs, namely: "Jasmine", "Northern Spring", "I Love You, Snow in Saibei", "Ussuri Boat Song", "Small River Flowing Water" " and "Red Plum Praise".

During his visit and exchange, he will participate in a total of three performances. The number of songs sung in each performance varies according to the scale and duration of the performance, but he must choose from these six songs.

After Yue Wenxuan completed the creation task, it was time for the delegation to leave in a blink of an eye.

This is the third time I have visited Hong Kong Island to perform, and the sense of novelty and strangeness when I first came to Hong Kong Island has disappeared.

Yue Wenxuan couldn't get excited when other people went out shopping or playing, so he simply put all his energy on preparing for the performance.

The first performance during the exchange visit was the most important and the most powerful. In this performance, Yue Wenxuan sang a total of four songs, namely: "Jasmine", "Northern Spring", "I Love You, Saibei's Snow" and "Little River Flowing Water".

Although many art masters from Southeast Asian countries gathered in this performance, only the four songs sung by Yue Wenxuan left an extremely deep impression on all the audience, and it can even be said to bring spiritual baptism to all the audience.

This kind of shock that originated from the depths of the soul cannot be described in words if it is not experienced personally.

Yue Wenxuan was already well-known in Hong Kong Island. After this performance, reports about him appeared on major news media again.

All relevant information about Yue Wenxuan has been fully reported as early as when he visited and performed on Hong Kong Island last time.

This time the focus of the news reports was on the two new songs he sang.

"I Love You, Snow in Saibei" and "Spring in the North Country" are classic golden songs that have passed the test of time. Coupled with Yue Wenxuan's interpretation, the artistic charm is even more touching and unparalleled.

Under the exaggerated reports of the major media, everyone who has heard Yue Wenxuan's live performance has great curiosity about these two songs, and they all want to listen to them quickly.

As a result, tickets for the next two performances with Yue Wenxuan's participation were hard to find, and every performance was sold out.

Even so, there are still only a small number of audiences who can come to the scene to listen to Yue Wenxuan's singing.

For various reasons, most of Yue Wenxuan's fans couldn't come to watch his performance live.

As a result, calls for Yue Wenxuan's extra performance were rampant.

Yue Wenxuan has no personal right to decide whether or not to perform an extra act, it depends on the arrangement of the superiors.

After the leaders studied it, they still decided not to reenact it.

Seeing that he could return to Shanghai in two days, Yue Wenxuan was invited to the reception room by Huang Huaisheng.

Besides Huang Huaisheng, there were three strangers in the reception room.

After Huang Huaisheng's introduction, Yue Wenxuan found out that these three people came from Universal Records.

One is the president of the Asian region of Universal Music Company, Fujita Yoichi from Rishima, the other is Thomas Werner, the music producer of Universal Music Company, and the other is the translator brought by Fujita Yoichi.

After Huang Huaisheng introduced the two parties, he said to Yue Wenxuan:

"Mr. Fujita admired you very much after listening to your performance live, and wanted to instill a record for you.

He plans to use Universal's channels to promote and distribute the record throughout Southeast Asia.

I had a brief chat with him just now, and I think he is quite sincere. What do you think? "

If the time was two years earlier, Yue Wenxuan would definitely oppose it. Too much limelight in this era may not be a good thing.

Now this time period can be considered, after all, it takes time to record and promote the release of the record.

Moreover, the cooperation this time may not be able to be negotiated. Even if the cooperation is successful in the end, the time for discussion, research, and decision-making in the middle will not be short, and even one or two years may not be enough.

He just needs to cooperate according to the above requirements. When his first solo album is officially released, this special period will almost pass.

Considering these, Yue Wenxuan does not object to this matter, but he will not show a positive attitude either.

After thinking for a while, he said: "On this matter, my personal opinion is not important, whether to record this record or not depends on what the leaders above think and how they arrange it.

If the leaders above feel that the recording and release of this album has certain positive significance, then I will obey the arrangement and will definitely cooperate with the recording work of the album.

If the leader thinks it's not necessary after comprehensive consideration, I personally don't have any opinions. "

For Yue Wenxuan's answer, Huang Huaisheng was not surprised. Anybody would have answered like this.

He was just routinely asking Yue Wenxuan for his personal opinions, and he didn't expect any shocking opinions from Yue Wenxuan.

He went on to say: "I have already asked the leader above for instructions, and the leader means to get in touch first."

There is no precedent for recording a personal album and distributing it internationally through a foreign company. Of course, the leader will not make a rash decision, and must make a collective decision after repeated research.

If Universal Music wanted to cooperate with someone other than Yue Wenxuan, the leader would definitely reject this cooperation.

In the current environment, security is the most important thing.

The main reason why the leaders did not categorically reject this cooperation is that Yue Wenxuan is now too famous and already has a certain influence in the world.

If his solo album is released throughout Southeast Asia, Yue Wenxuan's international influence will inevitably increase further.

With the help of Yue Wenxuan's personal influence, some work in the foreign affairs department must be better carried out.

Considering this aspect, the cooperation with Universal Records this time still has certain positive significance.

Since the leader meant to get in touch first, there is no need to talk about specific cooperation matters. You can first have a preliminary understanding of Universal Music's ideas and arrangements.

Regarding this cooperation, after Huang Huaisheng briefly introduced Yue Wenxuan, Fujita Yoichi was not in a hurry to discuss the specific details of this cooperation, but said to Yue Wenxuan in Japanese with a look of admiration:
"Mr. Wenxuan, I have watched all three of your performances on Hong Kong Island, and I only have one feeling, that is, they are extremely shocking!

If I hadn't heard your singing live, I couldn't even imagine that the top singer really has the power to cleanse people's hearts.

Such singing, I think, has gone beyond the scope of art, it is sacred.

When you are singing, it is like the gods descending to the world, and we audiences are receiving the baptism and gifts of the gods.

Needless to say, the melodies of several of your songs are very beautiful.Especially the song "Spring in the North Country", I personally love it very much.

But I think the melody and the content of the lyrics are not important, the important thing is that these songs are sung by you!

If these songs were sung by other people, such as the song "Northern Spring", I might also like it, but I would definitely not feel shocked, let alone be washed by the singing.

I think there seems to be a kind of magic in your singing, he is divine.As the head of the Asia region of Universal Records, I have the responsibility and the obligation to let your singing be known to more people and bring peace of mind to more listeners.

I sincerely hope that this cooperation can be successful. If you have any requirements for this cooperation, just ask, as long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to meet your needs. "

Yue Wenxuan said with a faint smile: "Mr. Fujita has praised me. I just have some talent in singing, which is not as exaggerated as you said."

"No, no, no, I'm not exaggerating at all. I'm speaking from my heart. That's what I think, and my soul has indeed been baptized and comforted by your singing." Yoichi Fujita said eagerly.

Huang Huaisheng took the call at this time and asked, "Mr. Fujita, do you have any plans for this cooperation?"

Speaking of work, Yoichi Fujita's expression became serious, "I personally and the Asia headquarters of our global company attach great importance to this cooperation.

In order to ensure that this cooperation can become a successful example, we have made detailed plans.

First of all, from the production of the record, Universal Records will definitely select the top record production team to produce this record. "

Then, he pointed to Thomas Werner who was sitting next to him, "Thomas Werner is our top producer at Universal. If the cooperation is successful, this record will be produced by him."

Yoichi Fujita then talked about the glorious resume of Thomas Werner. It must be admitted that this is indeed a top music producer.

If Yue Wenxuan's first record was entrusted to him to produce, it would definitely be impeccable in terms of professionalism.

After introducing Thomas Werner, Yoichi Fujita went on to say:

"Next, let me talk about the promotion plan for this record.

If the cooperation is finally successful, our Universal Music Company will spend the first batch of 50 US dollars for the promotion of this record in Southeast Asia.

If the sales of the album meet expectations after it is launched, we will have a higher budget for the next publicity and promotion. "

Hearing the figure of US$50 from Fujita Yoichi, Yue Wenxuan didn't think it was a big deal, but Huang Huaisheng's heart was full of turmoil.

He couldn't imagine that Universal Records would be so rich and powerful. Just the first wave of promotion for a record would cost $50, which was really a waste of money.

Moreover, after the sales volume reaches expectations, the budget for publicity and promotion will increase. In this case, the funds used for publicity alone will exceed US$100 million.

Huang Huaisheng really couldn't understand Fujita Yoichi's approach for spending such a large amount of money on illusory publicity and promotion.

If he has such a large sum of money in his hand, he must use it wisely, not on dispensable publicity and promotion.

Fujita Yoichi went on to talk about other arrangements in detail. Although Huang Huaisheng didn't know much about record sales, he could feel that Fujita Yoichi's plans were really thorough.

Finally, Yoichi Fujita talked about the most sensitive issue of copyright and profit distribution, "Universal Records is very sincere in recording and releasing this record, and the initial investment is a lot of money.

With such a large initial investment, we are also taking huge risks, so we hope to win the copyright of all songs.

We are willing to spend a lot of money to acquire the copyright of all songs. "

It is impossible for Yue Wenxuan to transfer the copyright of the two songs he created to Universal Records, so he immediately said:

"There is no copyright law in our country. Therefore, it is impossible for us to transfer the copyright to you. The copyright can only belong to the individual creator. There is no need to discuss this."

After all, this was only the first contact. Seeing Yue Wenxuan's resolute attitude, Yoichi Fujita temporarily ignored this matter and stopped discussing it.

"Finally, let's talk about compensation.

Our Universal Music Company can offer two proposals, one plan is a one-time payment, and the other plan is a sales share. "

Without waiting for Fujita Yoichi to continue, Huang Huaisheng said: "It is too early to discuss the issue of remuneration.

If this cooperation can indeed be achieved, it is not too late for us to discuss this issue again. "

For Huang Huaisheng, this issue is too sensitive, and there is no precedent before.If possible, he did not want to be involved in this matter.

If it's just a matter of recording a record, there is still room for negotiation.

However, if the issue of benefit distribution is also involved in this cooperation, Huang Huaisheng does not think that this cooperation can be negotiated.

Such sensitive cooperation, if it also involves the issue of profit distribution, no matter what kind of decision is made, it is too easy to be caught in the pigtails. I am afraid that no leader dares to make such a decision.

The first contact between the two sides, because of ideological issues, can only talk about this.

Although this collaboration is nominally to record a record for Yue Wenxuan, there are very few places where he can make decisions.

Even if it is about copyright and remuneration, his words can only serve as a reference, and there is no room for him to make a decision.

He is a person who earns wages in a unit. In this cooperation, the honor can belong to him, but if it involves benefits, no matter how much he gains, it must belong to the state.

Since others were so soft-spoken and could not make any decisions, two days later, Yue Wenxuan applied to return to China with the delegation and was immediately approved.

Yue Wenxuan already had a premonition: this cooperation will definitely not be achieved in a short period of time.

If the record was recorded by a leftist group, the matter would be negotiable, but the partner is Universal Records. In this sensitive period, Yue Wenxuan doesn't think any leader dares to make this decision.

For Yue Wenxuan, regardless of whether this cooperation is successful or not, being able to establish a relationship with Universal Records is a good harvest, and it will always be useful in the future.
