I am the savior of China Entertainment

Chapter 68 Overseas Promotion Work

"I am very glad that we have reached a cooperation agreement with Sony Music for overseas distribution. Lee Hyuk's new album will soon meet overseas audiences, and we will work hard to promote Chinese music. In the future, we will work hand in hand with Sony Music to encourage each other." — The official Weibo of Fantasy Studio.

As soon as the microblog of this cooperation was released, it aroused heated discussions inside and outside the industry. Many bigwigs in the music industry were not optimistic about Li Hyuk's overseas release trip.

"I think Li Hyuk is a little anxious this time. Chinese music has not been popular in the Asian market for many years. This is not a small strategic mistake." Musician Lan Tianhua said.

"According to internal information, Sony Music's share has reached 40.00%, Fantasy Studio may not even earn a penny from overseas distribution, and it still needs to be carefully considered." No. [-] Li Chui Gao Dasong said.

No. [-] Li Chuan and Cui Jian said: "Although this overseas release is likely to fail, I admire Li Hyuk's determination to go global. After so many years, the Chinese music scene is almost unable to hold on to the local market. I hope Lee Hyuk succeeded."

On the surface, everyone insisted on their own opinions, but secretly, many musicians scoffed at the release plan of Fantasy Studios.

Some people even ridiculed that the two young bosses of Fantasy Studio didn't know the difficulty of overseas distribution at all.

There are also record companies who think this is an opportunity. Recently, because of the swallowing of Huang's record company, Fantasy Studio has been somewhat overwhelmed. If the overseas release fails, then everyone's opportunity will come.

With such high-quality assets as Lee Hyuk and Guns N' Roses, it's hard not to be tempted.

Li He and Fan Nuoxuan also understood that this was a risky decision, but they still tried it bravely. They were always timid, afraid that the company would never grow big.

And the comments from netizens are varied, some are supportive and some are against, and some are even linked to patriotism, because Sony Music is a subsidiary of Sony, and Sony is an island company.

The cooperation between the Huaxia people and the island country record company is more or less subject to discussion.

But this part of the debate is actually a bit on the line. Sony Music is one of the largest record companies in the world, and there are not many choices for Fantasy Studios.

Moreover, making music is not selling out state secrets, it threatens national security, so it is a bit unreasonable to go online.

According to this principle, many companies in Huaxia that have contacts with the island country should be blocked.

Therefore, although the cooperation with Sony Music has caused some controversy and criticism from angry youths, the actual impact is not great. After all, there is also a market for island music in China, and island idols also have many fans in China.

On the contrary, Huaxia's younger generation of stars are not well-known in the island country. Many netizens still support Li Hyuk's ability to go out this time.

After receiving the publishing contract, Sony Music immediately promoted it in the East and Southeast Asian markets. First of all, it was the singing session. SBC Radio, a famous music station in the island country, played pop music from China for the first time in more than ten years.

"Good evening everyone, this is SBC Music Radio, recently there is a new singer-songwriter in Huaxia, his name is Li Hyuk.

His music has caused a lot of trouble in China, and he has also come to the island country. Let us enjoy this song "Love is Simple". "

As the host's voice fell, Li Hyuk's music entered the ears of the audience in the island country for the first time, and many listeners in the island country who listened to the SBC channel were stunned.

Chinese music?There is still pop music in that place?As early as the 90s, Chinese music was not popular, and a lot of music in the 90s was copied from island singers.

Although biased, listening to it, many listeners in island countries found that something was wrong. Why is this music so good?
It doesn't matter if you don't understand the lyrics, the melody catches the ears, and instantly captured the hearts of the audience in the island country.

In the next few days, not only the SBC radio station, but also many music TV programs played Li Hyuk's singing. In the busiest commercial plaza in Tokyo, the poster of Li Hyuk's "Jay" album was hung on the entire commercial building, and countless people came and went. Islanders can see it.

The same thing happened in the Bangzi Seoul area. For the first time, the people of Bangzi, who always thought that the universe was the country of Bangzi, gave in to their ears. Good music has surpassed the barriers of nationalities and attracted the ears of the audience.

In a practice room, the trainees had just finished contact and were resting. Ren Jiajia was sitting in a corner alone, having no communication with the stick teammates around her.

Ever since she came to Bangzi with Cui Jinghui, Ren Jiajia almost fell into the devil's den and was sold.

At the last moment of sliding down the abyss, Ren Jiajia woke up and escaped from Cui Jinghui's control. Penniless, she worked a lot of work in Seoul to barely make ends meet.

It's not that Ren Jiajia didn't want to go back, but the news came from China that the former good sisters are now doing a good job in the band, and Ren Jiajia was jealous and hated in her heart, and she didn't have the face to go back.

Later, by chance, she signed up for the audition of a second-tier entertainment company in Seoul, and signed a ten-year trainee contract.

But unlike other 22-year-old and 32-year-old trainee teammates, Ren Jiajia is already [-] years old, and will be [-] when the contract ends.

Recently, the company intends to launch a 12-member girl group, which is currently being selected. Ren Jiajia is also working hard to win the opportunity.

She can only rely on herself. These good teammates don't regard her as a teammate, and guard against and laugh at her everywhere. Ren Jiajia can only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. She has cried several times in secret.

While resting and rubbing her sore legs, Ren Jiajia paid attention to the conversation of these stick teammates.She has already learned Korean, at least listening and speaking is not a big problem.

"Zinyan, have you seen that poster? That Oppa is so handsome." A long-legged girl said.

"He is from Huaxia, I have never seen him before, do you want to come here to develop?"

"I don't know, but I heard his song played on the radio yesterday. It's called "Lovely Woman". It sounds so good!"

"What? This man named Li He is just a Chinese, how can Zhilong Ouba be so good? I don't like him!"

Li Hyuk?Ren Jiajia was stunned when she heard this name. She hadn't heard this name for more than half a year, and she didn't want to hear it.

Is Li Hyuk already so famous?It has spread to Seoul, Ren Jiajia smiled bitterly, feeling that she is getting further and further away from her dream.

Sony Music's promotion this time has been very effective. Li Hyuk has attracted the attention of a group of potential fans and fans by relying on his excellent quality of works and good appearance.

After Tokyo Fashion Week, "Jay" will be officially released in the island country and Bangzi, and Southeast Asia will also be released in February.

After registering on Twitter, Li Hyuk's personal twitter has a lot of fans called Oppa or Oni Sauce. Qiao Meiying is not only responsible for assistant work, but also responsible for running Li Hyuk's Weibo and Twitter.

After opening Twitter, Qiao Meiying uploaded several photos of Lee Hyuk, which attracted a lot of likes from fans of Daoguo and Bangzi.

Even if the music is not strong, Li Hyuk can attract many fans in a short period of time just relying on his appearance.What's more, Li Hyuk's music is really good.

Not only attracting ordinary listeners, Sony Music also launched its music review magazine, contacted well-known musicians, and started commercial bragging.

After listening to the "Jay" album sent by Sony Music, Ayumi Hamasaki, the famous singer in the island country, personally posted a post praising the album, saying that it is the best Chinese pop music album she has ever heard.

Ayumi Hamasaki is an Asian queen-level singer. She stood up for Lee Hyuk and immediately attracted the attention of a large number of music fans.

After Ayumi Hamasaki, Japanese idol star Suzuki Airi also stood up for Lee Hyuk, and also posted a few photos of himself and Lee Hyuk.

Ayumi Hamasaki was arranged by the commercial promotion, but Suzuki Airi took the initiative to transform into tap water, which was a surprise.

In addition, Takuya Kimura, the king of Japanese TV dramas, and IU Li Zhien, a well-known singer of Bangzi, and other stars have joined Lee Hyuk's "Jay" platform.

From this, we can see Sony Music's strong network and channels. Which Huaxia Record Company can persuade so many well-known international stars to become a Huaxia singer?
So although Sony Music asked for a high share, Fantasy Studio still reluctantly signed the contract.

In the long run, as long as Lee Hyuk continues to release high-quality albums, he will be able to maintain the enthusiasm brought about by this promotion and eventually transform it into his own foundation.

And can Li Hyuk maintain high-quality, high-intensity, continuous creation?
Musicians in the circle have this question, but Li Hyuk is full of confidence.
