Chapter 551(1/2)
Shi Zhenqiu looked at him one by one interview application, and the more he looked, the bigger his smile became.
Really, the entertainment industry is really a very realistic place.
He has not been interviewed by the media before, but how did he do that?
After working hard, I contacted the reporter, and invited guests to dinner and gave gifts, but I still liked to pay attention to it.
Shi Zhenqiu still remembers that in order to post a news article to T-ara, he gave the reporter a watch worth five million to succeed.
But now, these media and journalists have completely changed their positions, rushing to get the right to interview from him.
Good guy, the most ruthless "Seoul Sports" actually offered a price of 10 million.
A mere interview actually cost more than many artists.
"How about it, look at what interviews should you accept?"
Yin Zhongxin did not help Shi Zhenqiu's arrangements without authorization, it depends entirely on his own opinions.
He knew that Shi Zhenqiu was smart and must know what to do.
Shi Zhenqiu finished reading all these applications and smiled and said, "SectionTV Performance Communications must be agreed upon. This is my mother's family, no matter others, I have to take care of it."
"sectiontn Performing Arts Communication" is an entertainment news interview program of MBC TV. Its main content is to broadcast big and small things about the entertainment industry.
mc is Jin Guozhen and Park Shiki, both of whom Shi Zhenqiu know.
Moreover, he started out as mbc, so when there are good things, he still needs to take care of mbc.
Hearing his choice, Yin Zhongxin smiled.
"Oh, Brother Guozhen knows, he must be so happy. I guess he will invite you to play golf."
Kim Kwok-jin and Yoon Jong-shin were hosting "radiostar". Shi Zhenqiu made this choice, which was a purpose for Yoon Jong-shin.
Yin Zhongxin knew what was going on, just keep it in mind.
Then Shi Zhenqiu chose a few more influential media that needed to be communicated with, and gave up the rest.
He didn't have much time and couldn't agree to it all.
"Tell these media that I don't need to pay for my interview. Just be a friend, and I hope everyone will not be burdened."
This is what Shi Zhenqiu told Yin Zhongxin.
Although he lost a lot of income, Yin Zhongxin understood that Shi Zhenqiu was right.
Although the media will be happy to pay for the right to interview. However, no matter what, if you do so, it will only be taken as a matter of course in others' hearts.
Shi Zhenqiu is now popular and nothing is left. But when the situation stabilizes in the future, the situation between both sides will inevitably return to normal.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the opportunity to sell it well and let the media accept his favors.
When I report about him and mystic89 company in the future, I will be open-minded.
Shi Zhenqiu runs an entertainment company, but he doesn't think there will be no problems with his artists.
In the bizarre entertainment industry, who may get into trouble at the time.
At that time, these media writings need to be merciless.
He was busy filming, recording of the program and promoting interviews, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly, an unexpected guest suddenly came.
"Hi Shi, we'll arrive in Korea tomorrow. We need to have a good talk, this time it's about you."
Shi Zhenqiu was a little surprised when he received a call from Mark Rosen.
"Mark, it's all right, why did you think of coming to Korea?"
The next day at Incheon Airport, Shi Zhenqiu personally received Mark Rosen and his party. In addition to him, there were two white men, wearing suits and ties, who looked like successful people.
After Mark Rosen and Shi Zhenqiu hugged, he laughed and said, "Of course I want to thank you very much. If that guy Bruno is not very busy, he wants to come here in person."
Since "uptownfunk" became popular, Bruno Mars' popularity has soared and made a big name.
Nowadays, various invitations to performances have filled his desk, and they are countless money.
Bruno Mars dared not neglect and was busy promoting it everywhere.
Compared to him, Mark Rosen, the behind-the-scenes producer, is relatively leisurely.
"Mark, this is not your personality. Let's be honest."
Shi Zhenqiu was not fooled, and he didn't believe that Mark Rosen ran to South Korea all the way just to thank him.
I really want to thank myself and just pay the fees I deserve with great pleasure.
I knew that this guy was as smart as a fox and was not easy to fool. After Mark Rosen laughed, he introduced the other two people to Shi Zhenqiu.
"This is CEO James Dwight of Atlantic Records, and Andorra Woodsquez, the production director of Atlantic Records."
Shi Zhenqiu's eyebrows were connected into a thread, and he was really a little shocked.
He didn't expect that these two people were in such a status.
After the two sides first met, they got into Shi Zhenqiu's car and came to the Shilla Hotel arranged for them.
Here, Mark Rosen talked about the purpose of this trip.
"Stone, this time through that guy Bruno, you have shown your strength. So Atlantic Records hopes to sign you up and be responsible for your record release in Europe and America."
Shi Zhenqiu nodded, and he was already mentally prepared on the way.
If it weren't for this reason, would it be necessary for Atlantic Records' CEO and the director to come to South Korea?
It seems that the song produced for Bruno Mars this time really scared his colleagues in Europe and America.
As a record company responsible for distributing "uptownfunk", Atlantic Records will naturally not be able to get along with money.
Since I saw Shi Zhenqiu's potential, it would be natural to sign the contract.
After Mark Rosen, James Dwight took over the conversation.
"Mr. Shi, after carefully judging, we believe that you have a good understanding of the European and American pop music market and can perfectly integrate it. And we have heard the demos you made, and I have to say that your singing skills are very perfect and flawless. You are a rare singer with top singing skills in recent years. We unanimously believe that you have the potential to develop in the European and American music market."
Shi Zhenqiu listened carefully and nodded silently.
As a singer and a music producer, being recognized by the European and American markets is undoubtedly a huge success.
After all, it is a higher world that can realize greater value in life.
If you can gain a foothold in the European and American markets, I believe no singer will miss it.
However, Shi Zhenqiu also has his own concerns.
"Mr. Dwight is honored to be attracted by Atlantic Records. But my situation is that I currently have an agency contract and have no plans to terminate the contract. I am afraid I will let down the love of Atlantic Records."
Andorra Woodsquez interjected.
"Mr. Shi, I'll take the liberty to ask, is your agency contract signed in a South Korean agency? If so, I don't think this will become a problem."
In fact, inside Atlantic Records, Andorra Woodsquez is the most active person to sign in with Shi Zhenqiu.
When he heard the song "uptownfunk", he was shocked and gave Bruno Mars a very relaxed distribution condition, which made the latter choose this company as the publisher without any hesitation.
In fact, his vision has earned a huge benefit for Atlantic Records.
Just over two weeks, Atlantic Records have been sucking in 700 million US dollars from this song, which is almost the same as snatching money.
With a keen awareness of the value of this song, Andorra Woodsquez wanted to get to know the producer of this song.
In his opinion, I haven't seen such a spiritual producer for a long time.
Good music is not only sung by singers, but also by melody production.
If the music wants to become popular, producers must accurately grasp the trend of popularity, understand the changes of the times, and accurately combine the thoughts of the songs with the pulse of the times.
For example, a perfect retro music will become popular at the right time. But if the timing is wrong, it will not have any influence.
In Korea, when it comes to retro style, people will think of wondergirls and t-ara at the first time.
But in fact, the person who was revered as the retro queen at the beginning was actually Pei Shuqi.
She was moving with the retro style, but she did not achieve any outstanding results during her period.
This is because her style is too advanced, and the retro style could not resonate with people in that era.
In the early 21st century, people had not yet emerged from the booming music trend of the 1990s. Moreover, the music scene in that period was still continuing the previous foundation, and the trend was to develop forward.
Pei Shuqi introduced the retro style too early, which was contrary to the trend, so she did not succeed.
By the time of wondergirls and t-ara, the Korean music scene was almost poisoned by over-packaged idol groups.
Most of the works that people can appreciate are the uninnovative singing and dancing of idol groups.
The decline in the entire Korean pop music industry makes people miss the era of the 1990s when a hundred schools of thought contend and gathering all the celebrities.
At this time, the retro style returned to the world, giving wondergirls and t-ara the status of a top girl group.
So in Andorra Woodsquez's eyes, this producer who can keenly grasp the trend is actually more valuable than Bruno Mars.
He found Bruno Mars, who originally wanted to inquire about Shi Zhenqiu's situation.
Unexpectedly, here at Bruno Mars, he unexpectedly heard the demo sang by Shi Zhenqiu himself.
