Chapter 311 Visiting the Set

Chapter 311 Visiting the Set (14)

"Your EP is coming out soon? How many songs are in it?"

"...Does this count as an EP?"

Shi Shi on the other end of the phone got anxious: "Why doesn't it count?"

Shen Yan then asked, "So, do you release physical records?"

"Hmm, fifty thousand sheets..."

"...Which record company distributed this stock?"

"Just like Lao Hu, a gold medal typhoon!"

"It's really good to have a big tree to lean on..." Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh.

The Tang people are still quite powerful...

With connections and resources, Shi Shi, as Tangren's top female star, naturally enjoys many things!
I heard the initial idea was to make an album—to compete with Yang Mi.

Shi Shi really wasn't interested, so she decided to put "Green" and "Your Tavern Closed on Me" together as an EP.

As for the 50,000 tickets…

It will definitely sell!

Have you been in contact with Yang Mi recently?

Shen Yan told the truth: "No... the last time we met was on New Year's Eve... she was also a guest!"

"...Would you act in her film 'Finding Mr. Right'?"

"No," Shen Yan denied decisively, "The movie is supposed to start filming in April, and the director is Han Yan..."

I originally wanted to find director Xue Xiaolu…

But Shen Yan had reservations about the so-called professor's background...

These people have such fixed ideas!

There's a post online that says, "A professor from the Beijing Film Academy: Nezha 2 is the best slap in the face to the older generation of directors!" It sounds satisfying, but a little analysis reveals that this person's thinking is outdated—he claims that the 79 film *Nezha* was politically motivated…

They completely failed to realize that "Ne Zha" was also a creation that adapted to the times and was an art form loved by the people!
Praising one while belittling the other... How can someone with this level of expertise be a professor?
"She asked me to help her fill in a role!"

"What role?"

"Zhou Yi...a lesbian..."

Shen Yan laughed: "If you want to act, then go for it. That role is quite interesting..."

Shi Shi laughed and said, "I think it's interesting too. I've never played a role like this before!"

"...You can give it a try..."

"Hmm...you're going to Hainan tomorrow?"

"Yes, 'Bad Genius' is going to be filmed!"

"...I'll be done here in about two weeks, then I'll come find you!"

“Sure…” After a pause, Shen Yan said, “How about I rejoin the crew in a couple of days and come see you tomorrow?”

Shi Shi's face lit up with joy, but she still said, "Isn't that a bad idea? Won't it affect the filming?"

"It's only two or three days, what impact could it have? It's settled then..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan continued chatting with Hu Haiquan about records…

The consensus among all industry professionals is that the record industry is dead!

Hu Haiquan: "Song Ke resigned from Maitian and went to sell roast duck!"

Chen Yu-fan said, "Taihe Rye Music is used to traditional music marketing methods, focusing only on promotion through print, radio, television, and portal websites. This approach is no longer effective... Now many music companies are starting to target concerts, film and television works, Weibo, etc..."

"It's like when cassette players came along, and then CDs replaced them. But the difference is that record companies made money during the transition from cassettes to CDs, but now that we've entered the internet age, some people aren't making money anymore, so they're against it!"

"...Xiao Shen, what are your thoughts?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "I have no idea. Even if I don't sell physical albums, I can still make money by holding concerts and taking on OSTs!"

"But you are now the leader of the new generation of singers!"

"What kind of leader am I?"

"You're the most popular among the new generation of musicians!"

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Let's wait a bit longer. Once the market matures, major music platforms will definitely implement formal copyright regulations..." "Like Apple's iTunes download model?"

"right…"

"Shouldn't this promote copyright protection?"

"If video platforms are all enforcing copyright, then music platforms are naturally fine with it..."

"Unlikely?"

“…Only by copyrighting can they monopolize the business and make more money…” Shen Yan waved his hand: “They’ve always done it this way, in film and television, music, there’s no exception!”

……

It should be around 2013, when free music websites, under the trend of gradually standardizing copyright, finally exited the stage of history, and the legitimate business model naturally emerged.

The decades-long era of exorbitant profits from internet piracy has come to an end.

Many people say it's because of the musicians' persistence...

What a load of rubbish...

The main reason is that the giants saw the benefits of operating with legitimate content – they could build a large platform simply by throwing money at it!

Then, in 2013 and 2014, the Chinese digital music industry saw various companies bidding high prices for music copyrights, initiating a major reshuffling period of mergers, acquisitions, and transformations.

The logic is very simple: in a protracted war among many heroes, the one with the most ammunition will win.

Then Kuwo Music was eliminated.

Incidentally, Baidu Music was also eliminated!
Oh, the most active company in those years was actually Alibaba Music—it acquired Xiami Music and Tiantian Dongting, and then spent a lot of money to buy copyrights.

After that, Alibaba Music was ruined!

It literally means they ruined it—acquiring Xiami and Tiantian Dongting, and then forming Ali Planet…

In addition to the Tiantian Dongting music library service, Ali Planet also offers a complete music industry chain including Celebrity Square, Celebrity News, Hot Events, Celebrity Mall, and Live Streaming.

Music platform, featuring various emerging talents…

And then it completely fell apart!
Of course, this has little to do with Gao Xiaosong. He was only temporarily assigned to the position and didn't have strong business skills. Later, he ended up writing songs for Ma Yun ("Feng Qingyang," sung by Ma Yun and Wang Fei) and promoting Alibaba Games, essentially using his influence and industry resources to help Alibaba's business expand its reach...

However, these things have little to do with Shen Yan.

At most, we'll just not sell the copyrights for now.

Kugou Music approached him to discuss copyright, but he ignored them—their asking price was only 500 million, which was too little!
You should know that Pu Shu sold the exclusive broadcasting rights to "Orion" for 2000 million!
……

The TV series "The Legend of Mu Mansion" was filmed in Lijiang...

Shen Yan hadn't watched the entire series, only read the synopsis…

Wang Juan's Evolution of the Swordsman - A Must-Read in "The Legend of Mu Mansion"!
He killed many main characters, including Xihe, Ayuela, Muwang, the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Camp, and many extras!

"The Legend of Mu Mansion" is set against the backdrop of the grudges and entanglements of the Mu family in Lijiang. It unfolds the themes of loyalty between the emperor and his subjects, family affection, and personal love, and is not just an idol drama that only tells a love story.

To be honest, Shen Yan was quite surprised at first that such a big-budget drama chose Shi Shi to play the female lead…

Then I realized that Shi Shi was the female lead in "Our Times," and currently, she is the box office queen among domestic actresses!

He has over ten million followers on Weibo.

Top notch!

It's perfectly normal to invite her given her influence.

As for acting skills…

Anyway, so far, Shi Shi is still working very hard to play each role well...

It wasn't the assembly-line acting style of later generations—it felt like she couldn't open her mouth anymore.

Shen Yan arrived in Lijiang that night and went straight to Shi Shi's room...

Preparing to surprise her, Shen Yan opened the door and was surprised to find that there was another person in the room!

It's a woman.

Shi Shi said frankly, "Let me introduce myself, Jin Chen..."
