The CP of the strong group is the sweetest [Entertainment]

"So what exactly exploded?"

After finalizing the time and place to meet with the other end of the phone, Yuan Xiao put the phone in Cheng Feng's trousers pocket, and then turned to ask Zhou Fangzhi the question.

Lu Fangzhi pointed to Yuan Xiao's trouser pocket, then pointed to himself, and finally murmured: "Then...it should be...the thing you said on your phone—is XX company really going to release a single for us? !"

"Yes, it's true." Yuan Xiao replied, "But, so what exploded—"Beside You" exploded?"

"That's it."

Unable to understand Lu Fangzhi's procrastination, Yao Jiarui stepped into the room, held up the phone, put it in front of Yuan Xiao, and opened a music app.

This is a popular music playback app in country A. Yao Jiarui turned to the daily list, and saw that under the category of POP, "By My Side Live Version" ranked first.

Not just being number one.

The song title is followed by red and green two-color numbers, which represent the number of plays and downloads respectively. Compared No.1 and No.2 vertically, the two numbers of "Beside You" are almost ten times that of No.2.

Before Yuan Xiao had time to express his feelings about this matter, Xie Yuzhou also ran to him holding his mobile phone.

What Xie Yuzhou opened was a column of popular search terms on a social software, and in this column, the topic #在边边onlywe# was impressively ranked fifth.

Click into the topic, and the short articles with the most retweets are divided into two types, one is the collective praise of music or dance critic bloggers, and the other is the comments of some luxury brands that Yuan Xiao and the others have taken over in China. Collective reprint.

Both types of forwarding are not easy.

Among the bloggers of music critics and dance critics, there are a lot of powerful but poisonous evaluators, but in the face of the song "By My Side", they gave an unprecedentedly consistent high evaluation with substance.

Some praised Yuan Xiao's composition and arrangement as superb, some praised the seamlessness of choreography and music, and some praised the cooperation of the entire team.

In short, the way they praised it was as if the song had no flaws.

Some people even praised that it has the power to cross national boundaries.

[In this way, if anything wants to go to the world, it should not abandon or give up its own nation. The powerful things in those nations can completely cross national borders and be accepted by any audience who is willing to open their ears. 】

[If possible, I hope that everyone will click on this song and listen to it. It is so unique, but it is so hard to put it down. 】

Another kind of forwarding of luxury brands is also very precious.

Although Yuan Xiao and the others have a cooperative relationship with these brand owners, this forwarding is more like a convenient promotion for them for commercial purposes.

However, luxury brands charge a lot of money, and they have always been floating in the clouds. If this song is not really valuable, they will not lower their value and repost this song.

The two retweets, the top 1 hot searches, and the top [-] daily list all showed that the song "By My Side" has exploded.

·

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, I took a domestic flight from country A, onlywe flew to the long and narrow city on the west coast, arrived at the designated place, and met with the person in charge of XX record company.

When onlywe landed at the airport, they were ready to go directly to the record company. The car arranged by Yuan Xiao waited in the airport parking lot and took them directly to their destination.

Getting into the minibus arranged by Yuan Xiao, Xie Yuzhou was the last to get on the bus and naturally sat next to the driver.

He just buckled up his seat belt, glanced in the rearview mirror inadvertently, his pupils suddenly dilated, leaned against the iron door, and almost fled from his seat.

"Cheng... Mr. Cheng Cheng?!" Xie Yuzhou lost his voice, grabbing the doorknob with trembling fingers.

"Yeah." Cheng Yi wore sunglasses, his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong arms with blue veins, obviously he had a good figure from years of exercise.

But, who has the mind to appreciate what figure? !

Xie Yuzhou's voice made everyone in the car tremble, but Cheng Feng was more shocked than frightened, while Yuan Xiao was just embarrassed.

Under such a frozen atmosphere, Cheng Yi turned the key without saying a word, pushed the gear into first gear, and started the map.

In silence, the car started, and the scenery outside the window was like flowing water.

"Cheng...Mr. Cheng." Xie Yuzhou lay on the iron gate for a while, but couldn't hold back his gossiping heart after all, "You...why are you here?"

How dare you ask!In the back seat, Lu Fangzhi gasped.

"I was called by your captain." Cheng Yi answered eloquently.

How dare you answer—don't you? !Who called.

onlywe all eyes focused on Yuan Xiao alone, even Cheng Yi, who was driving, couldn't help but sized him up in the rearview mirror.

Yuan Xiao moved his butt like sitting on pins and needles, and finally raised his hand.

"It's me..." Yuan Xiao wanted to cry now, "but I didn't ask him to come here, I just asked him to help us find a reliable agent..."

On the day of receiving the call, Yuan Xiaosi thought about it, but still felt that he could not just talk about it on behalf of the team.

Because XX record company contacted them to release a single, which is very strange in itself.

Although this song has not been officially released, it has already been released in general. Even on some paid platforms, it was briefly online for a few hours, and then quickly withdrawn.

It must be the XX record company that was withdrawn. They must be waiting for the final official sound source before charging.

But.Why on earth would you want to collaborate on such a song that has already been released?

Yuan Xiao thinks.

It may be true to want to make money from this song, but the record company should want a longer-term cooperation.

For example, their next album, or the next few albums, this is the real purpose.

To be favored by such a large record company is undoubtedly a recognition of their ability, but if the goal of these companies is the latter, then this is indeed beyond Yuan Xiao's ability to handle it.

Cheng Yi gave him the right to make a contract directly without communicating with the company, but he didn't think that he could talk about the most favorable conditions for the combination without really communicating with the company.

I want to be free, not to be restrained by others, to maximize the benefits, and to make the group more popular.

These all require more professional brokers to handle and decide.

But... so to speak...

He also never thought that a professional businessman——Cheng Feng's elder brother, their immediate boss, would come here in person? ? ?

"You want a professional broker. I know more about the market than all brokers." Cheng Yi said lightly, "Aren't I the most suitable?"

Yuan Xiao: "..."

"Are you trying to say that I'm a layman?" Cheng Yi shook his head, "It's just business, it doesn't exist."

"Then, now, let's talk about the conditions you hope to achieve, Captain Yuan Xiao."

·

Cheng Yi can come here in person, which is definitely the biggest help. Just as he said, the entertainment market is also a market. A few small record company managers can't play with Cheng Yi, who has experienced business experience.

Finally, a contract was reached. First, according to the release of the official single of "Beside You", if it exceeds expectations, an official album will be produced for Yuan Xiao and the others.

Second, Yuan Xiao, the captain, will always have the right to finalize all production matters. Without his approval, no song can be released by the record company.

There are still some fragmentary matters, which are all discussed with the ultimate goal of win-win.

After Cheng Yi finished talking, he signed the contract on behalf of OnlyWe with his private seal. He smiled commercially and was sent to the underground garage by the boss of the record company who heard the news.

In order to ensure his identity as the boss, Cheng Yi did not drive on the way back, and Cheng Feng took over as the driver.

After saying goodbye again and again, the van drove onto the coastal road. Summer was in full bloom, and there were hot beauties in bikinis on the beach, holding handsome guys with juice, walking around.

In the smoky sea breeze, Cheng Yi looked around at everyone's blown bangs. After a period of separation, they became thinner, but also more handsome.

"Very good." Cheng Yi said, "I pay attention to your progress in the United States."

"So, in order to reward your progress, what should we do next?" Cheng Yi asked, "Have you eaten? Zeng Huahan told me that your way of celebrating is to eat hot pot?"

When he praised everyone, his tone was light, but he didn't look like a boss, but rather like a parent.

Absolute authority, strong back, but very warm, always able to shelter the people below from wind and rain.

Yuan Xiao laughed, Cheng Yi appointed Haidilao again, Yuan Xiao entered the navigation, and Cheng Feng drove over.

Half an hour later, in Haidilao's box abroad, Yuan Xiao opened the door and went in, only to see that there were already two people sitting inside.

All old friends.

One is Zeng Huahan, their agent who has been helping them when they were in China.

The other is Alexander who gave them the opportunity to participate in the music festival.

There was beer in front of the two of them, and when OnlyWe came in, they were chatting over wine.

Yuan Xiao stood at the other end of the hot pot, only feeling that the dimensional wall seemed to be broken through in the water mist.

Zeng Huahan?Alexander?Do they know each other? ? ?

·

"I don't know you." After receiving the towel brought in by the waiter, Cheng Yi wiped his hands gently, then folded the napkin very neatly and put it aside, "To be precise, I didn't know each other before today."

"Then why are they here?!"

The picture of Zeng Huahan and the Alexander Copper Mine is really shocking. For a while, no one in onlywe can tell whether it is more shocking for these two people to appear together, or it is more surprising for Cheng Yi to appear at the airport today .

However, each person has a bowl of tomato soup with beef cubes, but no one wants to taste it.

"Because this is a gift from me to you." Cheng Yi said lightly, took a sip of the tomato soup, seemed to think it was not bad, took another sip, and then stopped the spoon.

"Gift?"

"Yes." Cheng Yi raised his hand and introduced foreigners first, "Alexander, a professional with 15 years of work experience, joined the overseas branch of XX Entertainment Company five days ago, and he will be your future partner in country A, big or small. business broker."

Joined five days ago?

Yuan Xiao keenly captured this keyword.

When Alexander appeared just now, Yuan Xiao really thought for a moment that everything about Alexander and the music festival was arranged.It's not their strength at all.

But the key word helped him straighten out the facts.

They went to the music festival because of their own abilities, and Alexander must have been discovered and poached by Cheng Yi after he brought them into the music festival.

As Cheng Yi said, he has seen all their progress in country A.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiao had both doubts and warmth in his heart.

Cheng Yi didn't care about him so much, and continued to introduce another "gift":

"Zeng Huahan, the manager of Qiyao Entertainment, you should know him—in the future, he will be in charge of your international and domestic affairs."

"Wait? He's still Qiyao Entertainment's manager?" Yuan Xiao discovered the problem.

Alexander spent a lot of money poaching into the overseas branch of XX Entertainment, but Zeng Huahan, why didn't he join the company?

"Because Zhang Zhengfan lent me to Mr. Cheng." Zeng Huahan said, "I don't want to leave Kaiyao Entertainment, but Mr. Zhang... You always know that he signed you, not for money, and sent me to help you, It's not about money."

Zhang Zhengfan entered the entertainment industry from a coal boss. At the beginning, he loved the entertainment industry. Later, he loved his own artist. Now, perhaps he still loves this industry.

Therefore, he doesn't have much plans, whether he makes money or not, he has always paid for artists.

Everything in the circle may be for profit, but Zhang Zhengfan has a very pure heart.

"Can I sign a contract?" Yuan Xiao asked suddenly.

"Within the scope of my authorization to you. You don't need to ask me." Cheng Yi said.

"Then... Cheng Feng and I will directly donate [-]% of our future earnings to Qiyao Entertainment to develop the company's various industries."

"I hope Mr. Zhang can get what he wants in the entertainment industry and have a smooth journey."

·

After eating hot pot and owning a manager, Cheng Yi had nothing to be sensational about, and quickly flew back to country C to handle his business.

As for country A, the production and release of the single is also proceeding as planned.

Modifying some music details and conducting formal studio recordings all follow the route planned by the record company.

It's just a little different when it comes to filming the MV.

On the day when the MV shooting team was to be finalized, Han Cheng approached Yuan Xiao and asked him to shoot the MV this time.

"I actually know that this MV is very important to us." When Han Cheng asked, he hesitated, "I know very well that the number of views of this song's MV on YouTube is also linked to our final data."

Yuan Xiao looked at Han Cheng seriously, and when he heard this sentence, he smiled a little.

"However, I think my photography skills, as well as my aesthetic ability, have reached the level that I can shoot this MV." Han Cheng said, he was still a little confident at first, but once he finished speaking, he became hesitated.

"At least 70.00% maturity?" Han Cheng said, "Eh... But, I must understand this song better than outsiders—or forget it."

"En." Yuan Xiao nodded.

Han Cheng sighed and nodded, his expression could not tell whether he agreed or was frustrated.

Turning around, he wanted to go out the door.

"Han Cheng, I think this song is really important to us. As you said, the number of views of its MV will also be included in our final statistics."

Yuan Xiao seemed to be explaining again why he agreed to forget it just now, Han Cheng put one hand on the doorknob, blinking his eyelashes slightly.

"So that's why you had to shoot this MV."

Han Cheng turned his head and looked at Yuan Xiao in disbelief.

And Yuan Xiao just smiled.

"Of course it can only be you." Yuan Xiao said, "Is there any director who knows better than you what kind of MV we want?"

·

In the end, Yuan Xiao used the rights stipulated in the contract to successfully get Han Cheng to take the position of MV director.

The record company was naturally very worried, so when it came to cooperating with the scene construction company and the selection of the assistant director, they all insisted on using someone they could trust.

This is also responsible for the final quality.

But... the assistant director had just communicated with Han Cheng for a day, and it developed into a sympathetic relationship where he could go to the street late at night to order a case of beer and talk about life and artistic ideals.

"You people from country C are too good." The assistant director drank too much wine and chewed the meat, "You are not a star, I think you are an artist."

Han Cheng's filming was completed in three times. The first filming was an exterior scene, on the big lake where they had lived for a long time, assuming some pure white gauze curtains and other pure white props were put on.

The surface of the lake is as clean as a mirror, and the artificial gauze curtain collides with the natural landscape to create an indescribable sense of art, which fits surprisingly well with the bold collision of Chinese and Western instruments in the song.

The second shot was an interior scene, a place dedicated to shooting underwater scenes, a clear water shot, and a white underwater shot with paint added.

The third time was in the pure white studio, the only props used were dead branches and smoke cakes picked up downstairs.

After the three shootings were completed, Han Cheng personally edited the MV, and then submitted the demo to the review department of XX record company for a trial.

Three days later, the feedback came—"The demo is approved, no modification is required, and it can be released directly with the single."

The approval of Han Cheng's MV seems to have given the song a good start.

After the MV approved by the company was logged on YouTube, it quickly gained public recognition. Suddenly, the topic that had previously reached the top 5 once again reached the top ten, and many of them praised the MV.

On Tuesday night, the new Billboard Hot 100 list was released.

The top song on the list comes from a band from country C.

onlywe - "Beside".
