Chapter 651 Chapter 650, If you want to play, play the world's best
Wang Fei went to Hong Kong Island.

It was a bit sudden to leave!

Originally, Jiang Feng had already agreed with her that after finishing recording the new album, he would go to Hong Kong Island with her, and then he would go to the crew of "Infernal Affairs" to film, while she would prepare her next music album in Hong Kong Island.

But unexpectedly, on the first day that Jiang Feng recorded his new album, Wang Fei left home after leaving a house purchase contract. The house had been paid in full and the purchase process had been completed. Now they were just waiting to get the property certificate.

Jiang Feng doesn't need to worry too much.

But Jiang Feng was still a little worried about her, so he sent her a text message to ask her. As a result, Wang Fei, who had already arrived in Hong Kong Island, said nothing.

I think it must be because of Liu Jialing’s matter, Jiang Feng thought.

Wang Fei's habit has always been this. She usually won't tell Jiang Feng about her friends' gossip or private affairs unless her friends agree.

However, it’s good that Wang Fei left early, at least Jiang Feng can concentrate on recording his new album.

Because of Wang Fei's presence in Baihua Recording Studio, it will definitely affect the full performance of music producer Dou Wei.

After all, it is a very funny thing that the ex-husband helps his current boyfriend produce a music album while his ex-wife watches from the side...

Speaking of Jiang Feng's new album, it poses a new challenge to Dou Wei.

Before, no matter Jiang Feng was recording Mandarin songs or English songs, Dou Wei could observe whether Jiang Feng's emotions were in place when singing and whether he could impress the audience.

But now, he was also a little confused.

Whether it was German, Arabic, Kazakh, Thai, Japanese or Korean, Dou Wei could not understand any of them.

Hmm..., so now, as a music producer, Dou Wei can only work on pitch and rhythm.

"Jiang Feng, let's re-record this German rock song. Just now, you didn't grasp the rhythm of the second bar, and your singing was a little slow."

"OK, Jiang Feng, let's sing this Portuguese song again, because the song you composed is a very cheerful song, but you frowned just now, probably because you didn't grasp the emotion correctly."

"good, very good!

However, Jiang Feng, you still have to record it again because there was some problem with your pitch when singing in Thai.

Although I don't understand your homophonic lyrics, there are indeed two differences between this time and last time."

Dou Wei's nitpicking almost made Jiang Feng laugh, because when Jiang Feng sang in the first recording, he used standard Thai, while the second recording was in the dialect near Chiang Mai.

But there is no way around it. When recording a music album, the producer has the final say and everything depends on Dou Wei.

Just when Jiang Feng's new album was about to be recorded, Zheng Donghan arrived. The Asia president of Universal Music came to Beijing in person to discuss the release of Dao Lang's first music album.

"Jiang Feng, how is the recording of your new album going?"

On the afternoon of August 2002, 8, Zheng Donghan came to Baihua Recording Studio with his assistant and sat in the rest area with Jiang Feng, who had just finished recording a song.

“There are still two songs that must be recorded today, no later than tomorrow morning.

Because of the flight at 2:00 pm tomorrow, Feng Ge has to rush to Hong Kong Island to join the crew to film "Infernal Affairs."

Before Jiang Feng opened his mouth to speak, Li Xing, who was helping Zheng Donghan get mineral water, answered for him.

"Are you really going back to Hong Kong Island to film tomorrow?" Zheng Donghan asked with concern after taking the bottle of mineral water, unscrewing the cap and taking a sip.

"Yes, if I don't do it right, Director Liu Weiqiang will probably be worried, because the Infernal Affairs crew has almost finished filming the scenes without me."

Jiang Feng, who had been recording for six hours straight since 6 a.m., rubbed his forehead with his hand to make himself more energetic today.

"Well, fine. If you have anything to say, I'll be brief." Seeing that Jiang Feng was indeed a little tired, Zheng Donghan took out a notepad and a pen from his pocket.

"Jiang Feng, I came to see you today for three things.

The first question I want to ask you is about the recording progress of your new album. Now that I have asked this question, let’s move on to the second question.

Jiang Feng, when do you think your latest music album will be released? "

"Maybe in mid-September!"

Jiang Feng thought about it carefully and gave his opinion.

"Mr. Zheng, my idea is this: on September 9, you should send the songs in my album to various countries for ranking. Thai songs should be sent to Thailand, Kazakh songs should be sent to Kazakhstan, German songs should be sent to Germany, and Portuguese songs should be sent to Brazil and Portugal...

But you have to remember that in order to create a sensation, these songs must be sent over at the same time and start to chart at the same time."

"Yeah, I remember."

Nodding in agreement, Zheng Donghan immediately started writing on the note paper with a pen. When he was almost done, he started to ask.

"Jiang Feng, I heard that the Arabic song "Be Yourself" has been approved by Queen Moza of Qatar. She has promised you that she will promote your music album in the entire Arab region?"

"Well, that can't be said!" Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head.

“Mr. Zheng, this is the case. According to the staff of the Qatari Embassy in China, Queen Mozah has this intention. After all, this song is based on her deeds.

But I think she's probably waiting to see how popular our album is.

If this album becomes as popular around the world as the previous two albums, Queen Moza would be very happy to give us one more icing on the cake!

But if our album doesn’t get any response after it’s released to the market, I don’t think anyone will get involved in this mess.”

"Clap clap clap..."

Zheng Donghan was clapping, and after clapping, he gave Jiang Feng a thumbs up.

"Jiang Feng, you are the most sober person in the world!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

Jiang Feng smiled and extended his hand to Zheng Donghan.

The two shook hands.

The conversation continued again.

"Jiang Feng, you were the one who told me that Daolang's album "The First Snow of 2002" should be sold out at a time, and I think the cost is too high.

Even if it is your music album, my initial distribution volume will definitely not exceed 300 million copies. "

"Mr. Zheng, so what?" Jiang Feng asked.

"So, Jiang Feng, you have to give me a reason to pay, a reason to risk my reputation. Why do you want me to believe that Dao Lang's music album "The First Snow of 2002" can sell more than 1 million copies?"

Yes, Zheng Donghan is indeed a very courageous person, otherwise he would not have made so many singers famous in Asia, such as Deng Lijun, Zhang Xingyou, and Tan Yonglin, all of whom became famous under his hands.

But at the same time, he is also a very cautious person, because investment is no joke and requires very high costs.

For example, the cost of a tape is about 6 yuan per tape, and the cost of a CD is 8-9 yuan, and this is just the production cost. If the initial distribution volume of tapes and CDs is 1000 million, even if the production volume is huge, plus the distribution channel cost, it will cost 6000 million yuan.

Even if we take a step back and adopt a segmented distribution method, the initial distribution cost of this album will still require more than 2000 million RMB.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Donghan naturally wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Feng winking at Li Xing. Li Xing understood and immediately brought over a laptop, then found a folder and clicked on it.

【The first snow in 2002】

As soon as the video in the laptop was opened, the name of a song appeared on the screen, and then several people heard the melody of the song.

However, what interested Zheng Donghan was not the melody of the song, but the pictures of the MV. The pictures showed the streets of Beijing, but it should be a winter street with snow.

Then, two people appeared in the picture. The boy was tall and handsome. He stood next to the bus stop, stamping his feet and breathing out cold air. At this time, a tall and beautiful woman ran over from a distance. When she saw the boy, she ran very fast, laughing as she ran.

"Haha..., I caught you."

Seeing this scene, Zheng Donghan felt dumbfounded.

"Jiang Feng, you..."

"Yes, it's me, and that woman is Wang Fei!" Jiang Feng paused the video on his laptop and explained with a smile:
"Boss Zheng, at that time, my sister Jiang Ye was still Wang Fei's personal assistant. One time, the three of us went out to eat hot pot together, and halfway through the journey, it started snowing.

My sister Jiang Ye felt that the scenery in the snow was very beautiful, so she used her newly bought handheld DV to record the scene of Wang Fei and I meeting in the snow.

Now, Daolang is unwilling to appear in the MV, so I took charge of it myself and edited the love scenes between Wang Fei and I into the MV of his song. "

Having said this, Jiang Feng stopped talking and directly clicked on the video.

"The first snow in 2002,

Came later than usual.

The No. 2 bus parked on the eighth floor,

Take away the last fallen yellow leaf
... "

Looking at the MV scenes in the video, Zheng Donghan was shocked.

According to his own idea, Jiang Feng should speak for the new singer Dao Lang in newspapers and on the Internet, saying things like, "I like listening to his songs" and "I am very optimistic about Dao Lang's influence in the Chinese music scene."

But no one would have expected that Jiang Feng not only "starred" in Dao Lang's song MV himself, but also brought along his girlfriend, the Chinese pop queen Wang Fei.

Well, also, Wang Fei and Jiang Feng actually kissed in the scene, even though it was just a quick kiss, but it was still a kiss.

As soon as this scene was broadcast, fans of both sides were absolutely shocked, because looking at the entire Chinese music scene, Jiang Feng and Wang Fei are basically the most famous couple, and there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, in this situation, with Jiang Feng and Wang Fei protecting Daolang, I believe it will be hard for him not to become popular.

However, even so, Zheng Donghan, who watched the MV play to its end, was still a little hesitant.

The songs are good, and there are big names backing them. If nothing goes wrong, there should be no problem for this album to sell 200 million copies.

"Jiang Feng... I'm sorry, I think it's still a bit difficult. If we want to distribute 1000 million copies of this album, even if it's distributed in stages, we'll have to distribute 300 to 400 million copies in the early stages."

Having said this, Zheng Donghan suddenly stopped.

There was no need to say the following words, Jiang Feng knew what they meant.

At this time, Jiang Feng smiled.

"Boss Zheng, you know me well. I am very ambitious. If I don't want to do something, I won't do it. If I do it, I will do my best to do it!"

"So what?" Now, it was Zheng Donghan's turn to humbly seek advice.

"Boss Zheng, let me put it this way.

国家电视台新闻综合频道18:50~19:00之间的广告位最贵，除去整点报时，其他的时间的广告位价格基本上是15秒8万，而我剪辑出来的这首歌曲的MV的总时长是4分15秒。”

"Fuck..."

Before Jiang Feng could finish his words, Zheng Donghan started swearing.

In the past, people only knew that Jiang Feng was bold and had unusual thinking patterns, but no one expected that he would dare to do this and let Universal Music play the MV of his song during the most prime time on China National Television.

Well, that is to say, using the song’s MV to advertise Daolang’s latest album “The First Snow of 2002”.

4分15秒是255秒，255秒除15等于17，17再乘以8万，也就是136万。

This means that if Universal Music dares to play the song's MV during such a prime time on national television, the advertising fee for one night will be 136 million yuan. Even if some discounts are given, it will still cost 130 million yuan.

It will definitely not be effective if it is broadcast for one day. It will take at least three days, which means 390 million views in three days.

The effect caused by this will be absolutely huge, even sensational, because looking around the world, no musician or music company dares to do this.

Advertise the song on TV, and occupy the most prime advertising space!

Ok…

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Donghan stood up from the rest area of ​​Baihua Recording Studio and extended his hand to Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, I did it! I did it!"

"No matter whether I win or lose in this round, I will accept it. After all, with just this one battle, I will be remembered in history!"

"Ha ha…"

As soon as Zheng Donghan finished speaking, he shook hands with Jiang Feng and laughed out loud.

....
Daolang is introverted and not good at speaking, especially in social situations.

But now, standing in the Baihua Recording Studio, he heard with his own ears Jiang Feng and Universal Music's Asia President Zheng Donghan talking about the release of his music album, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

Because of this incident, Zheng Donghan will be remembered in history.

I am the same.

Now he is just an unknown little singer, but he didn't expect that under Jiang Feng's management, he would have the chance to become famous all over China overnight.

Because if Jiang Feng proceeds according to his idea, it will cause a sensation on the Internet and in major media outlets that very evening, without even having to stay up all night. Who is this new singer?

How could he be so awesome that he, who had never released any album before, dared to advertise himself with a music video during the prime time on national television? !

Daolang was just thinking about it when suddenly he saw Zheng Donghan, the president of Universal Pictures, walking towards him.

"Well, Daolang, right?
I can tell you clearly that you are so lucky that Jiang Feng can help you come up with ideas and methods to release your first music album!"
