Coquettish Rebirth

Here, after Jia Hongjian offered Celine Dion and her husband a plan, he had nothing else to say.While the elder sister and her husband were thinking, Jia Hongjian was still busy with the backup plan.To put it simply, it is to get in touch with Madonna's own music company - Maverick, a small music company jointly owned by Universal Music, Madonna and her friends.

This maverick has two meanings in English, one is "unbranded calf or other livestock", and the other is extended to mean "dissident" or "dissident". .Even from this meaning, "disobedient" and "unconventional" can be derived, and even as a verb, it can also mean "lost" and so on.

From this point of view, combined with Madonna's personality, Jia Hongjian felt that if the record company were to be translated into English, it would be better to call it "Unconventional" or "Stunning".The main reason to contact this company is that Madonna herself is the owner of this record company. If she is not operating her own music business, she basically manages the development of this small music company within the company.

To contact Madonna, of course Jia Hongjian had to learn more about this sexy elder sister.After all, it is more convenient to prescribe the right medicine if you understand it.But I don’t know, I don’t know, and I was shocked when I found out—At first, Jia Hongjian thought that Madonna was about the same age as Celine Dion, but anyway, she should be a mature lady, the kind of charming wife.I think the age should be more than 30?The results of it?After investigation, I found out that this Madonna sister is actually 58 years old!A full ten years older than Celine Dion!In other words, he was only a few years younger than Jia Hongjian's parents!So Jia Hongjian called Madonna "auntie", that is not an exaggeration at all!

As for this Madonna, although she is 10 years older than Celine Dion, she actually debuted similarly to Celine Dion. Celine Dion was 14 years old, that is, she debuted in 1982, while Madonna was in 83. The first album out!So in terms of calculation, although Madonna is 10 years older than Celine Dion, it must be calculated according to the Chinese generation.She still wants to call Celine Dion Senior Sister!

However.After contacting this Madonna, Jia Hongjian was amazed at the asking price of this Madonna—the Madonna actually asked for 60 US dollars!This price is almost double that of Celine Dion!And that's just the price of singing two songs!That's $30 a song!As a result, Jia Hongjian was surprised, and David Geffen persuaded Jia Hongjian, saying that the price should not be too expensive!Madonna is the second highest asking price in the United States.Needless to say, the first highest.It's Michael Jackson!

This Madonna and Jackson.It is because they are so popular and popular in the United States, so their appearance fees are ridiculously high-let alone 60 US dollars for two songs.If the organizer invests in a Madonna's personal concert, for example, if Madonna is invited to attend, Madonna's appearance fee alone will cost 500 million US dollars, not to mention the subsequent ticket sales!That's right, in fact, celebrities' concerts are also organized by investors, the so-called organizers, not necessarily organized by the celebrities themselves.So if someone wants to invest in celebrity concerts, is optimistic about this kind of performing arts market, and then manipulates Madonna to make a concert, in the end, Madonna will get millions of dollars for a concert!There is too little oil and water left for the organizer!

So, when Jia Hongjian heard about it, he also felt that the price was too expensive!$60 for two songs?How popular is your Madonna in China?Why do I have to find you?These words sounded ridiculous. Aunt Madonna is clearly in the sky in the United States, and she is obviously the only big star. How can Jia Hongjian say that he has to find someone else?That's right, Madonna is indeed the most famous singer in the United States, but to the Chinese people, she is just the older sister of McDonald's!right?How many young people in China have heard Madonna's songs these days?It is true that many people have heard of Michael Jackson, but what about Madonna?To put it bluntly, it's true that Madonna is a singer, but in terms of celebrity popularity, she's not the only one at the top!

That's right!To put it bluntly, movie stars are also very well-known in China, such as Governor Schwarzenegger and Stallone, who were popular all over the world back then!Get them to sing two songs, how much can the price be?You must know that these two are not singing majors at all. If you come here for a 10-minute appearance, it is estimated that if one person is exhausted, it will be 50 US dollars?Then she is cheaper than Madonna, and her attitude is much better - after all, her singing is really unprofessional, even if Stallone sang "Leo" and even came to China to participate in a singing audition... So, after thinking of this, Jia Hung-chien simply stopped contacting Madonna, and instead waited for Celine Dion and her man. In case Celine Dion and her man finally refused to appear in commercial performances, Jia Hongjian had to make a backup plan anyway. .

However, after discussing with her husband for two days, Celine Dion finally decided to accept Jia Hongjian's invitation and come to China for a two-month trip.This is going to be a two-month trip to China, so the visa needs to be properly obtained. This Chinese visa is not easy to obtain.If Celine Dion wants to come to China, there are two ways to sign, one is Z sign and the other is F sign.This z-signature, to put it bluntly, is a series of visas for coming to China for work, commercial performances, etc. After the visa is issued, it is valid within 3 months, and then within 30 days after coming to China, you must go to the public security agency to apply for residence procedures and documents. .

But, Celine Dion really didn't come here for a commercial show - Jia Hongjian even told her that it was not a commercial show, so how could she still come under the banner of a commercial show?If you really come under the banner of commercial performances, you need to apply for various commercial performance licenses, because it doesn't mean that if you want to perform a commercial performance, you can let the star on stage, it needs the approval of the relevant departments!Otherwise, if a random unit invites a celebrity or something, what should I do if the celebrity comes on stage and talks nonsense?All these things need to be approved by the relevant cultural departments.Then, the whole commercial show still needs to be planned, and taxes need to be paid, which is too troublesome.

So what Jia Hongjian suggested to Celine Dion was the F signature, which is the so-called visitor visa.As for Celine Dion, she was invited by the Shanghai branch of DreamWorks China's Rolling Stone Records under Jia Hongjian's family for a cultural exchange!In this way, direct visas can allow people to stay in mainland China for as long as half a year!At least in this way, you don't have to rush all kinds of things when you travel, right?It is also very convenient if you want to stay longer!

For such a visit visa, Jia Hongjian could not just send out invitation letters. Their invitation letter had to go to the cultural management department in Shanghai to say hello and get a stamp to be valid.But Shanghai is Jia Hongjian's one-acre three-point land, so it is too easy to find someone to sign up for it--Spielberg came here in the past, but he came here in the name of cultural exchanges.Then, after Jia Hongjian prepared the invitation letter, he helped Celine Dion submit her name, age and date of birth, as well as the purpose of the visit, the time of arrival and departure, the location of the visit, and the relationship with the inviting unit. , who will pay for the expenses, etc. After a series of matters, Celine Dion's visa was finally processed.

While discussing the itinerary of Celine Dion and her husband, Jia Hongjian was also secretly contacting Stallone and Schwarzenegger while discussing with the couple where to go for fun. To be honest, although he He thought of this good idea, but he didn't expect these two people to perform well in the past - how many real movie stars really sing really well?Even if a guest star can sing well, most of the time it is synthesized in the recording studio!I really thought that every movie star came from the troupe just like Cheng Long. Isn't the sense of music not bad?

Speaking of Cheng Long, Jia Hongjian suddenly remembered that this guy could still sing.Although singing is still not comparable to professional singers, Cheng Long is also a person who has released several albums!For example, he sang the theme song of "Drunken Master 2"!As for Cheng Long, he may not be professional when he sings, but it’s not a problem to keep the tune. When Cheng Long was in Seven Little Fortunes, that is, in their troupe, his voice was considered quite good-this is why Among the few seniors, he was the only one who was able to release the album!

Of course, Cheng Long also has his own limitations, that is, because he was born in singing Peking Opera, the rhyme of Peking Opera in his singing can hardly be removed.However, because Cheng Long is not a professional singer, the common people will be very happy to see him sing. Who cares how difficult it is for him to sing, how many transitions he has, and how many octaves he has crossed? degree?Such a National Day party, and even a Spring Festival party, to put it bluntly, it is a party for ordinary people to have fun.In fact, this kind of party does not have high requirements for professionalism, the main thing is to be happy!In other words, this show is not a program like the "Chinese Singer Professional League", where it is not about who has a better voice, who is a professional singer.Get the most famous people to come over, even if they sing songs with incomplete tone, that can add to the fun!For example, if you ask Boss Jiang to come on stage and sing in person, even if he sings with incomplete pentatonics, won't everyone applaud enthusiastically?Not to mention flattery and other things, seeing the top boss of a country come and sing for everyone in person, everyone would be very happy, wouldn't they?

So Jia Hongjian's thinking suddenly expanded a little bit... (to be continued...)
