I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 261 260. Record and upload songs, a competition between musicians!
Shonan is Han Qing's home court.

Han Qing helped Jiang Chen make an appointment at the recording studio in advance. After breakfast, Jiang Chen took a short walk, and then they set off to the recording studio to record a song.

Of course, the live broadcast was also closed.

When the live broadcast ended, the number of people online exceeded 31 million.

It is definitely a miracle that so many people can watch the live broadcast so early in the morning.

A few people went to the recording studio to record songs and met Zhou Ming, Yuan Caiyi, Chen Xun, Luo Sheng and others, who were also recording in the same studio. There were also several top domestic musicians with them.

Jiang Chen casually greeted a few people and went to record his own song.

Watching Jiang Chen and his group go to record the song, Luo Sheng, Zhou Ming and others all had complicated expressions.

One of the top music producers, named Li Youjun, looked at the backs of Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and others leaving, and said softly: "You are so arrogant, traveling with so many beauties..."

In Li Youjun's opinion, Jiang Chen was a bit arrogant.

Although, Jiang Chen has achieved great success in calligraphy, poetry and music.

However, these people are not bad either, and they are also top figures in the pop music circle.

Whoever comes to see them must say hello and chat with them for a while, and be more humble in their attitude, right?
Unlike Jiang Chen, he just said hello and left, and he only said hello to Luo Sheng and Zhou Ming, people he knew, and ignored the ones he didn't know.

Another top music creator, Zheng Shuang, also frowned slightly. "It's normal for young people to be a little proud of their achievements. I heard that he made more than 2 billion yuan from three live broadcasts yesterday. I don't know if it's true!"

After hearing this number, several people were silent for a moment, and it was obvious that they had all heard these rumors.

After all, such an astonishing number would surely spread quickly.

Luo Sheng smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's true! I talked to Director Guo, and Director Guo has inside information. Jiang Chen's live broadcast income yesterday was indeed more than 2 billion!"

"That's why his performance fee is so outrageous!"

After hearing what Luo Sheng said, several people had no doubts.

As the godfather of pop music, Luo Sheng would not help Jiang Chen lie.

Li Youjun's eyes widened slightly: "That's incredible, 2 billion in one day! I haven't even made 1 billion in my entire life!"

As one of the top music producers of the older generation, Li Youjun helped many top pop stars produce many extremely successful hit albums, so he participated in the copyright dividends of these hit albums. Combined with other income, his total income in his lifetime is as high as hundreds of millions. In addition, there are various subsequent copyright dividends, which means he can have a stable income of millions every year. He is already the ceiling among the behind-the-scenes staff of pop music, and earns more than Luo Sheng.

Today, several top musicians were invited by Luo Sheng and Chen Xun to come together to produce or adapt works for the next episode of the King of Singers Contest.

Zheng Shuang's eyes also flashed with envy, and then he said: "So, Jiang Chen's appearance fee for a performance in the King of Singers Contest is as high as hundreds of millions, is it true?"

Luo Sheng nodded: "It's true!"

This is also no secret in the circle, and anyone with a little bit of channels can find out.

When Zheng Shuang and Li Youjun heard this number and the news before, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's high performance fee. They thought it was too exaggerated and the gap with other top singers' performance fees was too big, almost ten times the difference.

but……

Just thinking about Jiang Chen earning hundreds of millions from a single live broadcast, and more than 2 billion from three live broadcasts a day!
In comparison, Jiang Chen only charges 100 million yuan for each performance, which is already a loss.

Chen Xun smiled and said, "Teachers, let's work together. Do you have the confidence to surpass Jiang Chen in the next show? Jiang Chen has been known for his originality since his debut. He has never sung other people's songs, only his own songs. Every original song he sings is an excellent work."

"This time, we teamed up with several teachers and we are now the top group in the Chinese music scene. We can definitely surpass Jiang Chen."

After hearing what Chen Xun said, a hint of expectation, fighting spirit, and even a hint of fire flashed in the eyes of several people!
If the work they produce surpasses Jiang Chen on the stage, what will be Jiang Chen's expression?
Now Jiang Chen is almost synonymous with excellent original music.

Many big-name singers have offered sky-high prices to buy original songs from Jiang Chen, and the price of a song has reached an outrageous 5 million.

This is absolutely the highest price ever paid for a new song.

A new song by an ordinary creator would be considered a high price if it could be sold for a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan. A song by a slightly more famous creator would be considered a success if it could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and an excellent one might be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Only works by well-known music creators can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they are also eligible for copyright dividends, but the dividends are generally very low.

A work created by top musicians like Luo Sheng, Zheng Shuang, and Li Youjun can be priced at over a million yuan, and the copyright sharing ratio is not low. Even so, only top singers are qualified to work with them, or talented new singers introduced by acquaintances can work with them.

For ordinary singers, even if they are paid, it is difficult to get their recognition and it is difficult to have opportunities for cooperation.

For example, those top young singers who have become very popular in recent years. Their popularity is so high and their fans are so crazy that every time their songs are released, fans will go crazy to buy and download them. However, no top musician will cooperate with them. Even though these top young singers are not short of money and offer very high prices, they choose to refuse.

Because they know that these top young actors will only bury their works, and working with these young actors will lower their level.

This time, if Luo Sheng had not come personally, and if there were not three superstars with powerful singing talent, they would not have come together, or only one of them would have come, and not all together.

Of course, they also wanted to come and meet Jiang Chen.

They all highly recognized the works Jiang Chen had created over the past month, and some even felt a little envious deep down in their hearts.

The number of works they have created or participated in creating in their lifetime is definitely far more than the works Jiang Chen has released in more than a month, but in terms of the number of popular and excellent works, perhaps even all of them combined are not as good as Jiang Chen.

If each of them has more than a dozen classic songs known to everyone in their lifetime, it means they are very successful, and this is also one of the reasons why they are called top musicians.

After all, fame is built on real achievements.

Zheng Shuang looked at the place where Jiang Chen disappeared, knowing that Jiang Chen had gone in to record songs, and said with a tone of envy: "Each of Jiang Chen's songs can have download sales of 50 to 60 million, and there is no discount at all. I also listened to the two songs he sang yesterday, and they both have the potential to become big hits."

Luo Sheng said softly, "He sang so well on the show the day before yesterday that he was embarrassed. In just one and a half days, the number of downloads has exceeded 70 million! Now he alone accounts for almost half of the download sales on Penguin Music. I heard that the top management of Penguin Music has held several meetings for Jiang Chen to discuss how to tie Jiang Chen to the Penguin Music platform."

Yuan Caiyi asked curiously, "Didn't Jiang Chen sign a contract with Penguin Music?"

Luo Sheng shook his head: "As far as I know, no! Jiang Chen released his works on Penguin Music as a freelance independent singer, without any exclusive contract agreement. Therefore, the share Jiang Chen received was also the lowest ordinary agreement. Jiang Chen can leave the platform at any time, and he will take all his works with him."

"Once he really leaves, it will have a huge impact on Penguin Music, the largest music download platform. Whichever platform he joins will be qualified to threaten Penguin Music! Now the other two ambitious platforms are ready to make a move, trying to contact Jiang Chen and poach him. The contracts and conditions they offer are very good!"

"The problem now is that Jiang Chen has not joined a formal agency. He only has a less professional agent, Han Qing. Jiang Chen himself is more of a lay-back type of person, and Han Qing has the same attitude, so they have never taken care of these business matters."

"All domestic advertisers, TV stations, program teams, as well as many music platforms, entertainment companies, etc., have contacted Jiang Chen through various channels, but none of them have been able to get through. Jiang Chen doesn't read all kinds of messages, and Han Qing is also very good-looking. It is said that even the Spring Festival Gala program team didn't talk to Jiang Chen."

"Penguin Music is also trying to contact Jiang Chen now. They haven't gotten in touch with him yet, but they will probably find the production team in the next few days. After all, everyone knows that Jiang Chen is with us!"

After hearing what Luo Sheng said, several people were a little shocked. Although they are all top musicians and occasionally call themselves artists, Chen Xun, Yuan Caiyi, and Zhou Ming are also superstar singers. They usually call themselves professional singers and do not associate with those traffic artists.

but……

Their main purpose in developing in the entertainment industry is to make money.

Whether it is a musician or a singer, the main purpose of their professional behavior is to make money.

They try every possible means, go on various shows, learn various professional expertise, and find ways to improve themselves, all in order to produce better works, have better performances, and then make more money.

but……

However, Jiang Chen refused all the money that was offered to him and didn't even bother to pay any attention to it!
Jiang Chen didn't accept any of the many big-name advertisers.

Jiang Chen received so many sincere invitations from TV stations and program crews, but he didn't receive any of them.

Jiang Chen had never been contacted by any of the many other entertainment companies or high-priced invitations from various platforms.

If these were to happen to them or other celebrities, they would have already made money. They have some integrity and will select some, and choose to accept some cooperation with a better reputation while ensuring their own reputation.

Some celebrities and artists will accept any offer to make money. As long as they are paid, they will take any advertisement, appear on any show, and say anything.

However, Jiang Chen was the only one who could ignore so many benefits offered to him and close the door to refuse any of them.

The loss of profits each year is at least hundreds of millions.

This is a huge income for any top star artist.

None of them could refuse.

However, when they thought about Jiang Chen earning hundreds of millions from a live broadcast and selling a work for 2.5 billion, they felt relieved.

If they had Jiang Chen's strength, ability, and ability to make money, they might also be like Jiang Chen, treating money as dirt.

Seeing that they were silent, Luo Sheng knew what they were thinking and continued, "The highest ratings of the last episode were over five points, and there were over ten million people watching the live broadcast online! It's a lot more than before. The next episode will definitely not be any worse. This is an opportunity for us."

"Now many celebrities in the industry are trying every way to take advantage of the popularity of the singing competition, trying every way to get on stage, even just to be the host and say a few words. But Director Guo rejected them all. Director Guo is too lazy to deal with these things now, so he rejected them all."

Musicians Li Youjun and Zheng Shuang were all excited after listening to the song.

Indeed, this is their chance.

If they could produce a work that surpassed Jiang Chen's on this stage, they would definitely become famous, and everyone would gain huge benefits.

Li Youjun asked in a low voice: "Do you know what kind of music Jiang Chen will perform in the next episode?"

He wanted to find out about Jiang Chen's situation and then make targeted music production.

pity……

Luo Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, Jiang Chen never said that. He said he would rest for three days, and then prepare for the show in the next three days, which is different from us!"

They started preparing right after the show, and they started yesterday.

But Jiang Chen rested in the hotel for a whole day yesterday and didn't go out at all.

I went out today to record the songs I sang in the live broadcast room, and after the recording I will go out to play.

With their busy preparations, it was obvious that I was not on the same wavelength.

And just as they were chatting.

The door of the recording studio over there suddenly opened!
Han Qing and Yan Ruyu came out first.

Then Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia and others came out.

Li Youjun, Zheng Shuang and others were all stunned, their hearts filled with confusion.

"Weren't they recording a song? Why did they leave?"

Zheng Shuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Sheng smiled bitterly and whispered, "Maybe it's already been recorded!"

Zheng Shuang, Li Youjun and others looked at the time on their phones at the same time.

They had only been chatting here for about ten minutes.

Jiang Chen has only finished recording two songs?

How can this be?

Is it just a shoddy product that was done just to get by?
Chen Xun took the initiative to greet Jiang Chen who was walking over: "Hi, Jiang Chen, are you done?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, nodded to a few people, and then answered Chen Xun: "Well, the two songs have been recorded, how about you?"

Chen Xun smiled calmly and said, "We are not as good as you. We haven't started yet. We are still discussing it. We are not as good as you. Let's go out and play today?"

Jiang Chen: "Well, go out and relax."

Chen Xun smiled: "Have fun."

As a fan of Jiang Chen, Yuan Caiyi waved and said with a smile: "Jiang Chen, have fun, bye!"

Zhou Ming, Luo Sheng and others also waved goodbye to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen waved to them. Han Qing and Yan Ruyu who were standing behind him also waved goodbye politely and left quickly.

Yuan Caiyi took out her phone and logged into Penguin Music. She found Jiang Chen, whom she followed, and discovered that Jiang Chen had just uploaded two new songs. They were the two songs he sang in the live broadcast room yesterday, New Boy and I am a Little Bird. She immediately clicked the paid download button and said in a complicated tone, "It's really finished recording and uploaded. I downloaded it!"

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and then looked in the direction where Jiang Chen left with more complicated expressions.
