Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 247 makes DP band a milestone.

Li Can's eyes rolled.

Since Sony wants to cooperate.

I am also jealous of the profits from the Japanese music market.

At this time.

Could it be a perfect opportunity?

We have huge advantages in the Japanese music market, and we have mature experience and track. Entering into the Japanese market at this time can form a dimensionality reduction attack.

The neon music market is huge.

The surrounding area covered is wider.

It is also one of the largest band markets. In Japan, bands are a very popular form of music market.

Like Europe and the United States, the payment rate is very high.

If you want to promote IP worldwide, you must take the large music market into consideration.

The good news is.

The Chinese music scene is deeply connected with the Japanese music market, much deeper than you might imagine.

The practice of buying each other's songs and covering them has continued since the 1970s.

As an insider, Li Can naturally knew it.

Netizens often joke that "half of the Chinese music scene relies on Japanese music" is actually a joke. The real reality is that many Chinese songs are also very popular in Japan, and the number is also extremely large.

Its essence.

The problem is that the entire music market lacks excellent melodies.

Therefore, the top music markets have their own unique "styles".

The rhythms of Europe and America, the timbres of Britain and Germany, the brainwashing of Korea, and the emotional arrangement of daily life.

Xiaguo's pop music started late and lacked everything.

It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that the constraints on content creation were completely lifted.

But melody is what Eastern music excels at.

Even since ancient times, people have paid less attention to layers and more attention to melody.

The lyrical songs that Xiaguo market is best at are the concrete display of melodic ability.

It’s just that many excellent melodies are affected by other content.

This is also one of the basic reasons why the Xiaguo music market is progressing so rapidly - not just because of the rapid economic development.

So Li Can spoke immediately, his tone very decisive.

"Then contact Mr. Li from Tencent."

"OK!"

Wang Yongchang nodded and agreed decisively.

To this point.

Anyway, just listen to big brother and everything will be fine.

All you need to do is lie down and don't make any trouble, and Big Brother will take everyone flying together.

soon.

The invitation information was sent to the mobile phone of Mr. Li, the general manager of Tencent Music Branch.

"interesting."

After receiving the invitation, Mr. Li agreed decisively.

No need to think at all.

While the DP band is at the height of its popularity, it’s obvious that there will be a next step.

He must have some new ideas since he suddenly came to me at this time.

then.

Three nights later.

In a hotel in Pengcheng.

Li Can and Winnie came to the hotel box booked by Mr. Li.

Knowing Li Can well, Mr. Li did not arrange any fancy social activities for him.

While carefully preparing a table of delicious food and arranging accommodation for people, the important thing is to talk about business.

Compared with other messy partners, a collaborator like Li Can who is not so useful is the least troublesome.

"Mr. Li, we meet again."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

The two shook hands and took their seats.

Before Mr. Li could even introduce the Cantonese delicacies carefully prepared for tonight with a smile, Li Can took the lead and asked a completely unexpected question.

“Does Tencent Music have any ideas about the Japanese music market?”

"!"

Mr. Li's heart skipped a beat.

It’s not that I think this issue is explosive.

I simply think that Li Can's behavior was a bit explosive.

Good man, I knew you were not polite, but I didn't expect you to be so impolite. You got straight to the point without any lubrication. It was pure hard work, all dry.

"It has always been there, and currently we have some say, but not much in music. But if it is the headquarters, we invest a lot."

Mr. Li pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"It's not just Tencent. There are also many investment companies in China that are optimistic about some of Japan's specialty industries. Of course, I'm referring to animation and games. A lot of investment has been made in these industries. However, in recent years, due to the improvement of domestic technological capabilities, the proportion of corresponding investment has been slowly shrinking."

"Ah."

Li Can nodded.

Xiaguo's market is expanding at an astonishing level.

At this time, it is natural to expand the local content first.

But the problem is that the domestic market is expanding much faster than the industry's skills, so it is difficult to meet the demand. The huge demand in the market urgently needs to be filled with content, so content will be introduced.

The same is true for Japan's games and anime, as well as related music and culture.

Of course you need to invest.

But Tencent is Tencent after all, and the investment will definitely not be in vain.

During this process, Tencent will act as an angel investor and will not interfere with the content. In addition to accumulating experience and observing "experimental data", the most important thing is to integrate some resources and improve corresponding technical capabilities.

Just as Mr. Li said.

The ultimate goal is to return to the domestic market.

In fields like animation and gaming, there are many "international students". When the time is ripe, they will feed back to the domestic field and become a huge force.

We are already seeing the first signs of this.

The reason why Chinese animation is gradually rising, in addition to the improvement of technical capabilities, is also due to the experience brought by "international students".

Many of the newly established awesome studios in China were founded by these big guys who had trained in the Japanese animation production team.

Therefore, Chinese animation, whether it is 3D modeling or 2D animation style, has only started to have the style and texture of neon animation in recent years, and the processing of storyboards seems to be smoother.

It’s all thanks to the international students.

"Well, I plan to contact Sony next. If there is an opportunity, maybe we can cooperate with Sony. I wonder if Tencent would be interested in this?"

As soon as Li Can said this.

Mr. Li immediately understood what this was for.

Shake people.

As long as he is really interested and is chosen, then in the subsequent contacts, the Tencent brand will invisibly become the negotiating capital and backing for Li Can when he contacts Sony.

Pay a portion of the share in exchange for investment from Tencent, or even more mature nannies in the entire industry.

The abacus beads are almost hitting the shrimp dumplings.

But Mr. Li was really interested in Li Can's undisguised plan.

because.

Sony Music's predecessor was Columbia Music, and within the conglomerate Sony, sales of the music business accounted for 12 percent of the entire group.

The turnover of 12% for a huge multinational company is a very outrageous figure, and this is one of the big cakes.

Sony Pictures next door only accounts for 11 percent.

One is Sony’s resources, and the other is the significant share of the Japanese music market.

If you can really make some noise, spread one leg.

Tencent really has plenty of ways to fill it up.

"Well, I won't say anything else, but I do have a chance for you."

Mr. Li smiled slightly.

"Summer Sonic."

Hearing this name, Li Can also smiled.

Sony Corporation has no connection with Sonic.

It's a Japanese hell joke.

“One of the four major music festivals in Asia? Tencent can arrange for me to attend?” “Tencent can’t intervene, but it’s no problem to recommend Devil Power.”

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

It’s that simple to cooperate with a strong partner.

One has connections, the other has strength.

With a little matchmaking, you can make a big splash.

Mr. Li only has connections. Changing to another band is not an option. After all, connections do not represent decision-making power.

But if the band is Devil Power, that's a different story.

At least at the current point.

There is no music festival in the world that can resist Li Can's temptation.

It's full of temptations.

You can even use "recommending DP band" as a premise and reap the benefits of both ends.

"This music festival has never had Xia Guo band participate in the past. Once DP band can participate, it will be very symbolic."

Mr. Li sighed.

Although Summer Sonic originated in Neon, it is already one of the four largest music festivals in Asia.

As the festival grew bigger and stronger, it attracted many well-known bands from overseas.

But among these bands.

There is no Summer Country band.

It is not easy to expand influence overseas, and it is even more difficult to expand it to the Japanese music market where band culture is already prevalent.

There is no exaggeration in what Mr. Li said.

Once the DP band sets such a precedent, it will gradually enhance the international reputation of Xiaguo bands and even Xiaguo music as a whole.

When a region has a phenomenal musician who can dominate the international server.

It is entirely possible to improve the overall image and evaluation.

In Mr. Li’s opinion, now that DP band has come to this point, it is time to move on.

Break through limitations, fill gaps, and become a milestone.

Mr. Li even had some malicious thoughts.

It would be interesting if Li Can and his gang could take more jobs in Japanese music like they did in English music.

Take the way of others and leave others nowhere to go.

"It's indeed iconic. It would be even more iconic if we could sing 'Nunchucks'."

Li Can nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself.

"'Nunchucks'? A new song?"

"No, I finished it a long time ago."

Seeing that Mr. Li was somewhat curious, Li Can smiled, shook his head and changed the subject.

Mr. Li did not pursue the matter.

After all, it is normal for a music producer to have a few musical works in reserve.

"So do you have any other plans after the Grammys?"

"Yes, a national tour."

Li Can nodded.

"Taking advantage of this popularity, we are touring in China. On the one hand, we are giving back to the domestic audience. On the other hand, we can attract some influential foreign Internet celebrities to travel to China. These are all voices."

"Maybe we can use this opportunity to show the world a brand new image of Xiaguo."

Speaking of it.

Li Can's smile turned slightly evil.

"I can give the tour recording and editing, as well as the distribution rights to Tencent, and give the broadcasting rights to other partners."

“It’s not live broadcast, but editing. As for the content of the editing, it can be a little personal, but it doesn’t need to be a lot. It only needs to include a little bit of the performance city’s appearance and the daily life of the people.”

"We have to do everything secretly, we can't be too obvious."

"have a thought!"

Mr. Li gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, his tone full of admiration.

He immediately replaced the wine with tea and toasted Li Can.

In Mr. Li’s opinion.

Looking across the country.

The person who has made the most of celebrity influence in positive guidance is the one in front of us.

A tour was held when the Grammys' influence was at its peak.

It will cause a huge wave.

If we can start live broadcast plus recorded broadcast and rebroadcast, we will make a lot of money.

You can abandon live streaming and lose some sources of profit.

But there are some hidden tricks, creating some flashbacks of scenery, food and humanities.

It is enough to assist in image promotion.

Considering the huge base of Devil Power's overseas fans, there is no problem in not being able to showcase the city landscape of Xiaguo.

Mr. Li couldn't understand it at all.

Why does this young man in front of me have so many twists and turns in his mind?

It's all a routine.

"In other words, after returning to China, the main task in the spring for a round of touring is to speed up the implementation of the cooperation project with Sony?"

Mr. Li felt more and more that Li Can's plan was really smooth.

After this combination of punches, it is hard to imagine what kind of huge fan base Li Can will have in Japan when the summer Sonic Music Festival begins.

By then, the Japanese music market will really become a weak widow, at the mercy of others.

"Okay, then you sort out the process a little bit, and I'll give you some assistance here."

Mr. Li nodded with a smile.

I like this kind of partner.

Make money with everyone together, it’s strong and fully automatic, so there’s no need to worry about risks at all.

"Then I look forward to Mr. Li's assistance."

Li Can chuckled.

Just totally unexpected.

Mr. Li has already started looking into whether there are any connections with Neon at the headquarters.

I even thought about inviting a few animation project teams to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation in the animation field.

If Li Can can be arranged to collaborate with an anime IP that has great potential or is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people before next summer, which will bring about an explosive impact and publicity, the reaction will be even more outrageous.

As to whether this counts as "giving money".
What nonsense are you talking about? This is called reciprocity, let's all enjoy it together.

Even if you don't want to give it, there are plenty of people who are willing to give it.

We can't let a partner like DP band run away.

When the intention to cooperate is confirmed and there is absolutely no disagreement between the two parties.

The banquet was a great pleasure for both the guests and the hosts.

After dinner.

Li Can and Winnie stayed there to rest.

After returning to the house, Winnie asked.

"So you want to make a Japanese song? Is Feng ok?"

"This is not a big problem. Jiayin has always been strong in languages. Brother Feng is a little weaker, but he is not completely ignorant. Jiayin can give her man some lessons."

Li Can raised his eyebrows.

"And we also have Tanaka Kinichi."

"."

When Winnie thought of this name, her face turned strange.

The image of Yamato, the superman with extraordinary fighting power, suddenly appeared in Winnie's mind.

I chased the band and criticized them for three months, all the way to the United Nations.

"He's so silly, he must be very interested in anime culture, there will be no problem in asking him to cooperate with us."

Li Can shook his head.

"There's no rush for Neon. We need to start planning and negotiating for the domestic tour now. Things are not as simple as they seem. There is a lot of work to be done."

"I was just about to ask, which cities are you going to choose, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen?"

"Do not."

Li Can narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Image display cannot be limited to these few cities."
