Chapter 344: The Ringtone Dispute

At this moment, even Song Ke, who was determined to jump out and do it, was slightly shaken.

Since the official break with Zhou Jianhui, he has been very clear that he has been excluded from Warner's core management. The reason why he hasn't resigned yet is simply because he has to do one more thing - and this thing happens to require his official status as Warner's deputy general manager.

“The more the market goes down, the more obvious the winner-take-all effect will be.

"His fame and brand have been completely established. I have no doubt now that even if his next album is a piece of shit, it will easily sell more than a million copies."

Mainland music producer Zhang Yadong, who is regarded as a genius by many people, put down the album "Lianshan" and said with emotion: "And the market will give him the opportunity to start over after one or two failures. This is what he The gold content now.”

As a music producer, Zhang Yadong knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to make such an album.

The perfect combination of business and concept can not only effectively ensure the overall aesthetics of the album, but also make the album a big seller. at the same time. Each album is guaranteed to produce more than five hit songs——

What is the concept of having more than five hit tracks in each album?

Damn, since the concept of the Chinese music scene was born, no one has ever been so awesome!

What’s even more terrifying is that these were all written by Zhou Yi alone.

Jay Chou and Tao Zhe, your mother still has to ask the team for help, it’s really outrageous!

"Now I understand why you are so afraid of him."

Zhang Yadong, who is not very interested in running the company, laughed and teased his old friend: "If I were the boss of China Mobile in charge of this area, I would also want to choose Zhou Yi as the person for the ring tones testing business. His singing ability is too scary. .

"Not to mention anything else, just this song "Fairy Tale" is enough to give them a good start."

Among the singers under Song Ke, none of them could compete with Zhou Yi in terms of song popularity.

"The ringback tone business was proposed by me and people from Taihe Media after we got the matchmaking from South Korea's SK Telecom. Whether the newly established Taihe Maitian can gain a foothold in the domestic music industry and become an industry leader in the future will all depend on this wave. .

"If it were you, would you accept being plucked for your hard work?"

Song Ke, who sat down on the sofa at his friend's house, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, asked.

On February 25 this year, South Korea's SK Telecom integrated various resources and officially began to open the pilot ring back tone business to the Korean people - and it has been out of control since then.

In just half a year, the ring-back tone business swept the entire country of South Korea, and also helped South Korea's SK Telecom's performance skyrocket.

Because he is short and tight, Song Ke often travels to South Korea on business trips to experience the so-called Korean Wave, and he also noticed the ringtone business. Coincidentally, mobile communications in various provinces and cities in China have also begun various mergers, reorganizations, and acquisitions.

Due to the huge profits that ringback tones can bring, after some investigation, Song Ke finally reached a cooperation with Taihe Media who contacted him. At the same time, he also found friends related to Didu Mobile through the connections behind Taihe, and the two parties reached an agreement. Initial exchange of views.

Everything was going smoothly and for the best——

He continued to work at Warner until everything was ready, then left to establish Taihe Records, and took away many of his mainland singers, leaving Warner China an empty shell——

At that time, it signed a pilot contract with China Mobile for the ring tones business at lightning speed, and promoted the songs of the new company. With the help of the profits brought by the ring tones business, the newly established Taihe Records directly became the mainland The leader of the music industry.

He will also be able to expand his business territory.

But I absolutely shouldn’t. What I never expected was that Zhou Yi would show such a big face at the World Cup. After finishing his next English album, after the first two English singles and the help of the World Cup, he was released directly. Killing all over the world!

Some people in the relevant departments of China Mobile who attach great importance to the ring back tone business took a look: Which Taihe Maitian should we choose to cooperate with? Now the company doesn't even have a shadow. Don't tell me what Laolang Pushu said. Wouldn't it be better to choose the world-famous Zhou Yi?

This will cost Song Ke his life.

He had planned well. The Taihe Wheat Field he created in the future would also receive preferential treatment during the promotion period of the CRBT business, and everyone around him would be able to make a lot of money with the help of CRBT.

This is also the reason why Xiao Dajin used the source of song inspiration to attack Zhou Yi's personal image - it can not only promote his upcoming movie, but also destroy Zhou Yi's image and prevent him from being so high within China Mobile. priority.

There are so many scandals that everyone can just laugh and say that you are a talented person, but at this juncture, you are questioned about your inability to be a good person and your image is damaged. If China Mobile wants to use it, you still have to consider the public image - after all, the ring back tone business is currently only planned to be promoted as a pilot, so the choice must be very careful. careful.

Three people become tigers, and one person can win gold.

In Taiwan and Hong Kong, being short and tall is not enough, but in the mainland now, he is really good at talking, especially among all kinds of media friends who will praise him. He has many friends.

And Zhouyi has offended many print media.

"After all, English songs are still a niche in the Mainland, so I haven't done anything before. After all, Zhou Yi and Zhou Jianhui are not easy to mess with. But it is different after the release of his third album. I also know music, and I know this song "Lianshan" very well. "What a sensation it can cause."

Song Ke lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, feeling unwilling.

He was powerless to stop fans from buying Zhou Yi's albums, and the only thing he could do was to destroy Zhou Yi's personal image. Moreover, ordinary slander and rumors would have no effect on Zhou Yi.

In this way, among the people he knew, there was only one person who could destroy Zhou Yi's image from the side, Ai Dajin.

After all, Ai Dajin himself had the support of traditional media channels, not to mention that some of Warner's own media channels were still in the hands of him as the deputy general manager.

Considering Zhou Yi's momentum, he also deliberately won over some other allies - such as Sina CEO Duan Yongji, who had a good relationship with Ai Dajin, and who also had some thoughts about Zhou Yi's Sina shares. With Ai Dajin and Song Ke standing in front of the stage as gloves, he would naturally want to give it a try;

Another example is Huayi Brothers, who wanted to promote Ai Dajin's new movie, and Xiyangyang Records, which Zhou Yi ate a large market share in the mainland.

"You have really changed, Song Ke. If you were the old you, you wouldn't want to target a musician like this."

Zhang Yadong looked at the familiar face in front of him, his expression somewhat sighing.

"I am a businessman now, Yadong, the business world is like a battlefield, I must win this ringtone pilot contract, it is related to whether all of us can become the leader of the mainland music industry in the future."

Song Ke opened his eyes, and the purity of his former singer disappeared from his eyes, and there was only the cruelty of the ups and downs of the business world.

If Zhou Yi's personal image is successfully distorted by Ai Dajin, he can still rely on the album to speak and restore his image in the future;

If he misses this contract, he will really miss the best opportunity to rise, and can only watch Warner, which owns Zhou Yi, take off again.

That would be more painful than killing him.

"Why don't you try to dig up Zhou Yi and Zhou Jianhui? Maybe they are willing to change jobs?"

"Why do I have to find two more fathers? Then why did I use Warner as a springboard to hook up with Taihe Media? Wouldn't it be better to stay at Warner?"

Zhang Yadong, who has always been casual, was speechless after being asked back.

It seems that there is indeed a little...reason?

…………………………

"Reason is bullshit!"

In the imperial capital, the short and big guy who always claims to be a scholar, an intellectual, and a scholarly family broke down: "Fuck, today, a few college fans of Zhou Yi actually mocked me?! Saying that he is more cultured than me?! Do they know what culture is?!"
