Chapter 641 Create Greater Glory
50 million to sign the exclusive rights, which still seems very high.
After all, now that A-list celebrities perform in a variety show, the signing fee is only three million for one episode.
A variety show usually lasts for about ten episodes, and a season costs about 30 million.
This is the current market price of A-list celebrities, and there will basically not be much difference.
As for Luo Quan, just signing an album is worth 50 million, not to mention the subsequent profit sharing.
This is far beyond the market price of first-tier stars, and top-tier celebrities are no more than that.
However, the specific situation must be analyzed in detail. There is also a gap between the top players in China and the top players in the world.
If converted into U.S. dollars, 50 million RMB is just over 7 million.
You know, foreigners who want to collaborate with Luo Quan on a single are asking for more than 10 million US dollars.
And you have to be a top-tier singer to be qualified to raise a price. Even someone with a lower status would be embarrassed to raise it.
If you look at it this way, the price is actually not outrageous.
Even though Luo Quan is from China, he is famous for what he is, and he is considered one of the best in the world.
If Uncle Long makes a movie and it is revealed that the signing fee is 50 million yuan, no one will probably find it objectionable, and they may even say that the film studio paid less.
This is the people's recognition of the artist's status.
Luo Quan is just a little younger now, and he doesn't think such a young artist can have any status in the world.
But in fact, Luo Quan is actually only one step away from becoming a Chinese symbol like Uncle Long.
The only pity is that Uncle Long can introduce Chinese action movies to the world.
But Luo Quan did not promote Chinese music.
Although they are all in Chinese, they are not on the same level of difficulty.
First of all, foreign action movies in the last century were just like boxing matches. You punch me and you kick me. There is no exciting design at all.
It was Uncle Long who used his unique funny fighting style to tell all the producers that action movies can still be made like this.
What's even more rare is that Uncle Long's action movies not only have wonderful and funny fighting designs, but also lead the world in thrilling scenes.
In terms of hard work, no action movie actor in the world can compare to Uncle Long, so much so that the insurance company directly blocked him from taking his business after seeing his filming scene.
It can be seen how exciting the scenes were when Uncle Long was filming the movie.
But it was precisely this kind of hard work that won him an Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, and also created a place for Chinese action films in the world of film.
Chinese music, however, is inherently deficient.
Since the 1950s and 1960s, foreign rock bands have become popular, and multiple music genres such as country, folk, jazz, soul, and funk have flourished.
The popular music in China is a series of patriotic songs such as "Tunnel War".
Given the historical context, there is nothing blameworthy in this.
After all, only when material conditions are enriched can we look forward to the construction of spiritual culture.
It was difficult for China to get started. Food and clothing were not yet satisfied, so entertainment was definitely lacking.
And this is also the reason why Xiangjiang Entertainment dominated the country in the last century.
It’s just that people are developing fast and have enough food, but they don’t have enough energy to develop popular entertainment.
However, when it comes to music, what Xiangjiang plays are leftovers from the Japanese music club next door.
As for Japanese music, it is all leftover from European and American music.
There is a generation gap of two entire eras, so no matter how you catch up in the future, you will not be able to catch up.
This is not something that can be made up for by the emergence of one or two geniuses.
Luo Quan had fantasized about taking Chinese pop music abroad before, but she quickly saw this clearly, so she never said such a thing again.
There is no need to compare some things in areas where others are good at them.
There is more than one popular type of music in China.
Speaking of signing the contract, after Penguin successfully obtained the authorization from Luo Quan, he immediately posted a post on Weibo to share this great news with music fans.
"Luo Quan's new album "Fleeting Time" has been purchased by Penguin Music!"
"Fleeting Time" is the title of Luo Quan's new album, which was posted when posting photos at noon.
Although it was a hot search for buying, with the traffic of Penguin and Luoquan, not many people criticized it.
After all, whenever there is any movement between these two, it is a very simple matter to be on the hot search. Spending money on them is just for faster exposure.
In the comment area, fans were very active:
"Although many of Penguin Music's features are anti-human and the VIP experience is not very good, it is indeed the most complete in terms of copyright."
"I bought an album, so I have to spend money on it."
"The last time Luo Quan made an album for Penguin's boy band, he received 100 million. This time he can't sing twice as much?"
"Two hundred million for an album? It feels like a huge profit compared to stock trading and cutting leeks."
"If you have her talent, you can charge like this."
"By the way, haven't there been salary restrictions recently? Isn't the signing fee of 200 million illegal?"
"I don't know, but Luo Quan can have some privileges, right?"
…………
Sure enough, the comment area started discussing the signing fee.
Penguin was also well prepared and immediately posted on Weibo to clarify:
“This contract with Luo Quan strictly abides by the salary limit order issued by the country and does not exceed the hard upper limit of 50 million.
The sales share of the song is the creator's right and is not included in the salary. "
This announcement is equivalent to confirming the signing fee of 50 million.
There is no word on how high the sales share will be, but it’s probably not low.
Although such salary still arouses discussion, most of it is relatively positive.
“Although I know this is a price that is within the allowable range of regulations, I still feel it is too high.”
"Yes, an ordinary migrant worker may not earn even one-tenth of his salary in his lifetime."
"The difference in value that people can make is reflected in these places. Those who really should be criticized are those who still make so much money without any level."
"Indeed, no matter how much money Luo Quan makes, it's worth it."
"In addition, Luo Quan will donate half of all the income he earns in China after tax, so the actual amount of the 50 million is estimated to be only about 20 million."
"So I have always said that those who make a lot of money have no conscience."
"No wonder it is so favored by GQT. This pattern is not comparable to ordinary people."
………………
This is the first time Luo Quan’s charity work has been known to so many people.
She used to keep a low profile in this regard, and many donations were even anonymous.
After this revelation, she calculated her donations over the past two years on a whim.
The sum of each sum of Yangsasasi's is almost a billion.
It’s not that I didn’t know, but I found out after calculation that it was already such a large amount.
To be honest, such a number really gave her a sense of accomplishment.
After the fans praised it, they were looking forward to the first title song of the album.
It's been a long time since Luo Quan last released a Chinese album. This time the subject matter is in Cantonese, and people are hoping to hear something different.
At eight o'clock in the evening, new songs arrived as promised.
Others have been playing cards since childhood, but Luo Quan is different.
Because there were too many cards in my hand, I had no choice but to start with a king bomb.
"Luo Quan's new song "Qian Qian Que Song"!"
Almost at the same time, the new song was released and reached the top of Weibo’s hot searches. The Penguin Music app did not explode this time, but there was still a very obvious lag.
It's not that there are fewer fans than when "Chopin in November" was released, but that Penguin upgraded its servers.
When the song was released, the number one trending search item was naturally "Buy", because most people listen to the song on the app and who has time to go to Weibo.
But ten minutes later, the hot search prefix changed to "explosion".
This is the real deal, let netizens and fans comment on it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, there were nearly 50,000 more comments!
Those who didn’t know it thought they were all posted by trolls, but there were actually quite a few big Vs certified by Weibo.
Everyone was in the comment area expressing their inner excitement after listening to the new song.
"This is a classic!
Luo Quan's attack of integrating emotions into her voice has reached the pinnacle, and her technique and emotion are flawless. I was already in tears after listening to only half of the song, partly because of the story in the song, and partly because of her singing. "
"This song has a strong Hong Kong style from the last century. It can be said that it authentically presents the atmosphere of that era.
Luo Quan fulfilled her promise and recreated the prosperous age decades ago.
Although the song is sad, I can hear glory and prosperity in it.
It was an era when the stars were shining, and it was a fleeting time filled with brilliance.
If Luo Quan had been born in that era, he would have stood out! "
"This song reminds me of a line: After so many years, good times and good times should be in vain. Even if there are thousands of styles, who should I tell them?
Among the songs of farewell, this one is not only ranked first, it can also be ranked in the top three, although the melody is a Japanese song "Song of the Sunset" that Luo Quan sang before.
However, some modifications were made in the arrangement and melody. It is the same song but with different performances, but she performed it with a completely different flavor. It is a very successful cover.
Of course, since they are all her works, there is nothing wrong with saying they are brand new works. "
"It is said that Luo Quan has never been in love, and he relies on third-rate urban novels and TV dramas to sing love songs.
But why do I always feel that she has dozens of times richer emotional experiences than ordinary people?
How can you write such lyrics, including the previous ones, if you have never experienced unforgettable sadomasochism?
"Qian Qian Que Song" is very nice. Counting last year's songs, it is definitely the best of the year. This song will probably become a regular at evening parties in the future! "
………………
Among the highly praised answers, most of them are relatively young or middle-aged people.
The retro music style naturally brings out the feelings in their hearts and the memories of those years.
As for young people, they may not have so many deep feelings, but good songs can gain love and praise.
Although most people don't speak Cantonese, it is not a foreign language after all, and it still has some things in common with Mandarin.
Besides, many people grew up listening to Cantonese songs, so they can learn some words after learning them twice.
After listening to it a few times, it is not difficult to learn to hum.
From a national perspective, it's not a problem at all.
It is foreseeable that this will be the first hot product since the beginning of 2019.
Soon, many questions related to Luo Quan’s new song appeared on Zhihu.
"How do you evaluate Luo Quan's new song "Qian Qian Que Song"?"
These are all responses from fans who slapped Luo Quan on Rainbow Fart. Old acquaintance Qi Ting Feng Yin is also in it. There is nothing interesting to see.
What is more interesting is the following question.
"How did Luo Quan, who was only 20 years old, write so many bitter love songs? Where did her experience come from?"
This question is obviously much more interesting than the answer that flatters Luo Quan, and it quickly gained more than 10 million views.
Among them, Gao Zan replied like this:
"Probably, this is genius.
Of course, what I mean is that geniuses are more imaginative. Let me tell you the specific reasons.
I remember watching a promotional interview video with the creators of "Farewell My Concubine". Teacher Jiang Wen, who plays Duan Xiaolou, once said this:
I was immediately shocked when I first watched Luo Quan filming. She only shoots one scene in every scene, and there is so little material, as if this scene can be edited directly into the film.
It is impossible for a novice who has learned a little bit of film knowledge to do such a ridiculous thing.
I suppressed my anger and asked her why she was filming like this.
And her answer made me realize the gap between mortals and geniuses.
She said: When I make a movie, I always write the script and then play it over in my head.
I already have a prototype in my mind of what the final movie will look like. I just need to reproduce these scenes in reality, and there is no need to use so much material for editing.
This kind of imagination simply astounds me.
As everyone has seen what happened later, the entire film of "Farewell My Concubine" is three hours long, but the filmed material was only three hours and five minutes.
It’s only five minutes longer than the original film, with almost no extra footage!
This is also the reason why Luo Quan was able to complete the project in a very short time.
The above are the exact words of director Jiang Wen. He told us the secret of Luo Quan's creation, which is unparalleled imagination.
No one knows what kind of world is in her mind.
But what is certain is that every time she creates, she will simulate a new life one after another, allowing her to experience different perceptions, and the experience is likely to be extremely real.
This is why her songs are so touching.
She may look like a young girl in reality, but in the world she built, she has gone through many vicissitudes of life and has been in countless relationships.
Only in this way could she write such a sincere love song without having any boyfriend.
It’s not that we haven’t talked about it, it’s just that we’re not talking about you.
I have to say that geniuses are different from ordinary people.
It is indeed unheard of for Luo Quan to have such imagination or thinking construction ability that he can fake the real thing.
But if you think about it this way, it’s understandable that she has endless inspiration.
After all, she owns a world! "
As soon as this analysis came out, the entire Zhihu was shocked.
