Play Chapter 270

After Tony Lane took the initiative to come to China to seek the copyright of "The Phantom of the Opera", Little Yellow Fish sent Yi Zheng and Xu Beihong to bring part of the video of the musical "Phantom of the Opera" to Broadway in the United States for business exchanges.

Although the video is not as experiential as those who come to the scene in person, it still amazes many theater managers on Broadway.

Especially in terms of music, the weirdness and glamor of the theme song of "The Phantom of the Opera" made all moviegoers feel their scalps go numb.

However, I am amazed. In terms of cooperation intentions, it is obvious that these people are not as strong as Tony, the person who was present at the scene.

Among them, the main reason is that although the major theater giants have shown their intention to introduce them.

But because there is no shortage of classic works under its banner, the conditions offered are not attractive enough.

At least for Liao Yuan, it was true.

As for the Ryan family behind Tony, although it was indeed brilliant a hundred years ago, in the present age, the Ryan family has gone from 27 theaters a hundred years ago to seven theaters today, and it is still in decline.

On the entire Broadway, which is more than 20 kilometers long, there is not much right to speak.

Over the past few decades, the copyright of the works in the theater, plus [-] theaters, have been sold off by the prodigal sons of the older generation. When Tony takes over, it is already a miracle that he can maintain it without filing for bankruptcy.

Of course, such a theater owner has a strong desire to survive, so after receiving the narrative from his daughter Delia, he flew all the way to China.

After watching the whole "Phantom of the Opera", even if the language is different, the music is interlinked.

Coupled with the sorting out of the plot, Tony seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

From the initial lofty arrogance, to the later low profile, to the final begging, even willing to make many unequal treaties on the musical "Phantom of the Opera", this is the chance to meet Liao Yuan again .

In fact, Tony didn't have any extra money to buy the "Phantom of the Opera", so in terms of share, he had to give up a huge profit. The share contract signed in the end was almost six to four, valid for three months. Year.

As for the small yellow croaker, it alone takes 37% of the final profit share.

And Tony's Lane Theater, although it has 63%, but after excluding various operations, actor training, props and facilities, etc., if Tony can finally get [-] to [-]% of the profit, it is already very good.

In this regard, other Broadway theaters are quite stingy, at most only giving Liao Yuan [-]% of the profit, which is why Liao Yuan chose Tony.

Of course, Liao Yuan didn't think that "The Phantom of the Opera" could bring a theater back to life. After all, there were only seven Lane Theaters on Broadway. The basis was here. No matter how popular "The Phantom of the Opera" was, it couldn't make much money. Everything had to be lukewarm. To cook a frog, take your time.

And in the follow-up, if the cooperation goes well, he will come up with more excellent scripts.

As for whether it will cooperate with the Lane Theater, it can only look at the follow-up performance of the Lane Theater.

If the Lane Theater gets bigger and bigger, that's great, but if it can't, it's okay.

At present, he only needs the springboard of the Ryan Theater to make "The Phantom of the Opera" famous overseas, in other words, to make his own famous overseas.

Although the great pianist Liao Yuan is well-known in the international music scene, he has only just started when it comes to drama creation.

Just like the giants of Broadway, even if they knew that the script and theme song of "The Phantom of the Opera" were written by Liao Yuan, they didn't care much.

Because they almost have the best musical screenwriters and composers in the world, and they also have the copyright of musicals that have been accumulated for hundreds of years. This is the foundation of their self-confidence. They are willing to put down their posture and negotiate.

But Tony is different, he is almost out of breath by the pressure of real life, if he doesn't come to Huaxia to hug Liao Yuan's thigh, he will follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and sell the opera house to give Song Yisong The oppression of life.

After the overseas copyright of "The Phantom of the Opera" was sold, at the request of Liao Yuan, the Kyoto Opera House also sent professionals to the United States to provide guidance on drama, striving to make "The Phantom of the Opera" famous on Broadway as quickly as possible.

For Zhou Yijun, the greater the fame of "The Phantom of the Opera", the better.

Anyway, Huaxia District is represented by him, and the popularity feedback from overseas is transmitted to China, and he is also making a lot of money here.

On the other hand, after half a year, Ai Shi, the queen of the Hong Kong music scene, finally bought the cover rights of the song "Light Years Away".

And officially released the single EP "Light Years Away" in mid-May.

This move caused another shock in the music scene, and the hot search list once again appeared in the top ten for three consecutive days.

As one of the top queen-level female singers in the Hong Kong music scene, Ai Shi's performance of "Light Years Away" is even more outstanding in the later stage of soundtrack tuning.

Compared with Liao Yuan's version, Ai Shi's version of "Beyond Light Years" has added the most popular contemporary musical instruments, and because it is a song specially recorded in a recording studio, after various tuning modifications, Ai Shi's singing sounds It looks more magnetic than Liao Yuan, and it is more popular with fans.

However, the price of buying this song is not something ordinary singers can afford—in addition to the basic price of one million, it also comes with many invisible benefits.

For example, in the recent concert tour, Song Baining, a singer under Little Yellow Fish, appeared as a guest on "Fairy Tale Town" several times, and gained a wave of popularity in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland China.

In addition, Liao Meiyun of Lucky Girl 101 also made an appearance in the mainland, which was obviously for Liao Yuan's sake.

The second explosion of "Light Years Away" has once again focused the attention of the music world on Liao Yuan. Countless first- and second-tier singers, such as Zhan Minghan, Zhao Ya and other singers, have appeared on Weibo several times. Publicly shouted on the blog, hoping to have the honor to sing Liao Yuan's works.

Even Zhang Henge came off the stage in person, expressing his expectation of cooperating with Liao Yuan with words.

But all these confessions fell to nothing, and there was no reply from Liao Yuan, the person concerned.

This made the media circle curious about Liao Yuan's worth.

Just how rich is Liao Yuan?That's why he's so indifferent to the kneeling and licking of these first- and second-tier singers?
It didn't take long for the media to reveal Liao Yuan's income in all aspects since his debut.

Among them, the winner of the One Emperor and Four Emperors International Piano Competition will be awarded 1000 million yuan.

After the competition, in terms of advertising revenue, he earned nearly 6000 million yuan by endorsing various brands such as **L Speaker, Huaxing flagship mobile phone, Moutai Prince Wine, China Merchants Bank Electronic Banking, Steinway Piano, and Jiuxing Sanitary Ware.

The concert tour earned more than three million.

The traffic income of major authorized websites such as J station is 700 million.

"Ghost Blowing Lantern" novel publication, film and television adaptation and other income, more than 3000 million.

Variety show "Love Travel", 200 million per episode.

The copyright derivative fees of "Signal", "Tuner", and "Ghost Blowing Lantern" are nearly 2000 million.

Plus other miscellaneous song copyright fees, performance labor fees, etc...

On the first anniversary of his debut, Liao Yuan easily earned 1.4 million yuan before tax, which is only a conservative estimate.

After all, for artists, Liao Yuan seems to have no interest in the most profitable commercial performances, concerts or concerts.

In the whole year, apart from the commercial performance activities for the brands that have endorsed, there were only [-] concerts, which was far from the working frequency that a regular artist or musician should have. .

However, although he is not doing his job properly, Liao Yuan's earning speed has not slowed down at all.

And under his name, there are actually two brokerage companies, namely the Little Yellow Fish Brokerage Company and the Singapore Dollar Brokerage Company.

One of the two companies focuses on cultivating artists in the music industry, and the other focuses on cultivating artists in the film industry.

Although it seems that they are all small troubles, it is not a problem to easily earn tens of millions in annual turnover. If Liao Meiyun's two-year contract with South China Brokerage Company expires, the subsequent brokerage income will also rise. Come skyrocket!
In one year, he made hundreds of millions of RMB madly. Even in the entire entertainment circle, this kind of money-making speed is comparable to that of first-line artists, or even surpassed by many.

Of course, there is still a gap between them and the top super first-line artists, but there are only a handful of such artists in the entire circle, and they are the ones who stand at the top of the pyramid.

This made the industry finally sigh and understand why Liao Yuan is particularly reluctant to sell the works under his name.

They are not short of money!

Just when the public was feeling emotional, a new episode of "Love Travel" was broadcast.

Donghai, a certain apartment.

Xi Yun sat in front of the TV again. Although she was wearing a loose bathrobe, her small face was not showing at all, and her well-maintained skin was taut.

At this moment, her gaze was like a torch, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Soon, accompanied by the opening music of "Love Travel", the familiar handsome face appeared on the screen again.

"Go to Japan?"

"Yes, I talked to you on the phone last week. Have you brought your passport? Ms. Lin Weiyin is participating in the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is now at a critical juncture and she needs a boyfriend to help She's cheering it on."

Hearing the conversation between Liao Yuan and the director, Xi Yun bit her lip.

She remembered when she was in high school,
On that day, Liao Yuan participated in a youth piano competition in the provincial capital. She secretly asked the class teacher for leave, and ran to the competition site alone to cheer for Liao Yuan.

At that time, the uncle next to him still smiled and asked himself, why do you like Liao Yuan?
She proudly said: "Liao Yuan is my boyfriend, of course I have to support him!"

Uncle smiled, very happy.

Xi Yun still remembers her complacent appearance at that time, and later she knew the uncle's name.

His name is Liao Yuemin, Liao Yuan's father.

Every time I think of this incident, Xi Yun feels a burst of shame.

But today, she felt a pain in her chest...

On TV, Liao Yuan heard about Lin Weiyin's competition in Japan, so he immediately bought the place with the closest flight time and flew directly to Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

On the plane, the director asked Liao Yuan a question: "Do you want to prepare a gift? If Lin Weiyin gets No.1."

"Gift?"

Liao Yuan thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, he stretched out his hand with a smile: "Is a watch okay? I seem to have a similar watch at home, but it is much smaller, and it is worn by ladies."

The director looked at Liao Yuan's watch, his eyes lit up, and joked, "Couple watch? What do you buy a couple watch for? Could it be..."

"Don't guess, just buy it for fun." Liao Yuan smiled.

The director pretended to be stunned and let out an oh.

in front of the TV.

Xi Yun felt a heavy blow to her chest, and she gasped in pain.

She remembered the watch.

That year, Liao Yuan came to Donghai Media College to report, and when he found her in the crowd, he happily took out this gift...

"Can you stay away from me? I don't want to see you. Let me tell you, I already have a boyfriend. You should die as soon as possible!"

So far, Xi Yun still clearly remembers what she said.

At that time, Liao Yuan stood on the spot, carrying a thick hiking bag, and pushing a super-large suitcase. Then, amidst the wanton ridicule of the people around him, his face turned pale and frightening.

"If at that time……"

Xi Yun took out the tissue on the table, cried and blew her nose: "Why would I say that!"

How handsome she was when she was talking back then, but how embarrassing she is when she cries now.

"Love Travel" continues to play...

When Liao Yuan ran into Nanye Shunichi in Hamamatsu City, and then chatted with Lin Weiyin side by side on the streets of Hamamatsu City, the sweetness that almost overflowed the screen made all the audience in front of the TV at the moment feel Excited and excited.

All the horse riders are solo mothers, single dogs who have been single for thousands of years, but when they watch people fall in love, they are as excited as if they are falling in love with themselves...

And in various scenes, he made serious criticisms on the progress of the relationship between the man and the woman, pointed out Jiang Shan, and reprimanded Fang Qiu, as if he had become a love expert, wishing to teach Liao Yuan how to hook up, and Lin Weiyin how to turn passive into active...

Finally, halfway through the plot.

When the next morning, the Hamamatsu International Competition started, and Lin Weiyin played beautifully, responding to all changes without change, showing the demeanor of an international pianist to the fullest, all the single dogs in front of the TV were moved.

This is the real goddess!
Those coquettish sluts with heavy make-up in the entertainment circle are completely incomparable!
But it is a pity that Lin Weiyin regretted losing in the end and stopped at No.2.

All the viewers in front of the TV were shocked, and then filled with inexplicable grief and righteous indignation, which was almost the same as the performance of the live audience. They all felt that the judges favored the local contestants.

And what makes people even more angry is yet to come...

"I think the judgment of the judges is very fair. If everyone here is not convinced, you can come up and challenge! If no one comes to challenge, then please accept the facts!"

When Seimei Tokugawa, who won No.1, stood on the stage and said these words arrogantly...

Resentful!

angry!

Furious!

All the audience were gnashing their teeth, eager to step forward and tear Tokugawa Seimei's big mouth open.

At this moment, the image of the camera immediately began to zoom up, quickly advancing from the stage to the auditorium.

In the slightly blurred shot, the director Qu Liangwei's surprised voice came: "Liao Yuan, did he imply that the audience present are all rubbish?"

"Let me tell you, I'm not the one who picks things up, but for this matter, if you just scold me..."
-
ps: Thank you for watching the [-] red flowers blooming and falling. I was scared to pee. After a few days of explosion, I feel a little uncomfortable in my wrist and thumb belly. To save face, there will be five watches tomorrow, and I will pass tea to the boss. Congratulations on the birth of the first leader of this book. It's not easy, it's not easy...
