Xu Fan said with a smile, "Isn't there also Tencent Music?"
Xiao Zihan said with some concern, "I originally thought that your return to the music scene would be soon, but now it seems that it will be much more difficult than we thought."
Xu Fan said, "Let's release 'Full Stop'."
Xiao Zihan was taken aback: "Published on Tencent Music?"
Xu Fan asked, "Where else could we post it?"
Xiao Zihan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "Okay."
They talked for a while about the so-called ban, and Xu Fan got a general idea of the situation.
Ultimately, it's because my sudden appearance this time has caused too much discussion.
The overwhelming consensus among netizens naturally aroused curiosity and attention. Most importantly, Xu Fan's sudden return disrupted the interests of many people.
If we think about it logically, Xu Fan's return to the music scene, and the obvious return to popularity, makes him a natural fit.
They will definitely try every means to renegotiate the agreement and invite Xu Fan to join.
However, that conversation between Xu Fan's agent and Xu Fan meant that Xu Fan and Jihai Entertainment would never have the opportunity to cooperate again.
Since they cannot collaborate, Xu Fan cannot return to the music scene.
This is the bottom line for Jihai Entertainment.
If Xu Fan returns to the music scene and surpasses his previous popularity, it would mean that Jihai Entertainment has misjudged talent.
This means that Jihai Entertainment misjudged the situation and its investment acumen has deteriorated.
This is a mistake that cannot be tolerated by a top-tier domestic entertainment company.
Moreover, Xu Fan was once hailed as the most promising young singer, and now that they have chosen to give up, it is not a good thing.
Some people actually regret it, after all, Xu Fan's creative ability is undeniable.
It was simply because of that car accident that he never created anything new again.
But since things have come to this point, and the party is no longer possible, the only option is to break off all pretense of civility.
The choice made by Jihai Entertainment is actually similar to that of most companies.
Since we can't make up, I'll destroy you completely.
After all, Zhao Yu is the top agent at Jihai Entertainment, and he has discovered a whole host of star singers; Xu Fan is just one of them.
Jihai Entertainment will absolutely not give up Zhao Yu just because they want to re-sign Xu Fan.
Therefore, in this situation, crushing Xu Fan to death is the best solution.
Of course, even if the lip-syncing issue is confirmed, that's not enough. So, while Xu Fan was still considering how to break this so-called ban,
Extreme Ocean Entertainment's next move has already arrived.
Under Zhao Yu's instructions, a large number of online trolls, who were ready to go, "dug up" a lot of dirt on Zhao Yu for specific propaganda purposes. Of course, this propaganda was not widely publicized across the entire internet.
It's important to understand that the goal this time is to completely ban Xu Fan, preventing him from returning to the music scene.
Instead of frantically using media resources to target and insult or attack Xu Fan.
The people at Jihai Entertainment aren't stupid; they would never do something that would help Xu Fan increase his fame. All they need to do is get those entertainment companies, record labels, and music platforms to refuse to release Xu Fan's songs.
The so-called ban will certainly not be announced on the entire internet.
Those "unearthed" scandals will naturally not be made public.
By using this as a standard, and by making financial investments and using specific threats, most companies will eventually fall under the control of Jihai Entertainment.
The negative news suggests that Xu Fan has no chance of returning to the music scene, and there is no need to let such a person return to the entertainment industry.
Money is the hard currency in this world that can change many people's views on many things.
As one of the top entertainment companies in China, Jihai Entertainment boasts countless artists and singers, and the number of copyrighted songs belonging to Jihai Entertainment is enormous.
If you are unwilling to cooperate, then all songs by our company's singers will be removed from the platform.
This is the confidence of large companies: enough toughness, enough allure, plus enough dirt on them.
Using both soft and hard tactics, many companies had no choice but to agree.
As a result, all of Xu Fan's songs were removed from various platforms, including both old and new ones.
Such a collective ban is actually very rare in the entertainment industry.
Only someone who is truly despicable to the extreme would have such an opportunity, but Xu Fan unintentionally became such a special person under these circumstances.
At that time, intense discussions were taking place within Tencent Music.
They were not afraid of Xu Fan's threats, and could even be said to disdain them.
As a result, some people believe that this move by Jihai Entertainment will actually increase the user base of Tencent Music.
The supervisor at Penguin Music, the one who overcame all opposition to re-release "A Diao" last time, is named Peng An.
Last time, despite all opposition, I released "A Diao" and it achieved very good results.
Because this song was exclusively released on Tencent Music.
Therefore, it attracted a large number of users to download the Penguin Music app to listen to the song, and the song quickly climbed the song search chart, becoming one of the most popular songs on the platform recently.
At this moment, as a fan of Xu Fan, I couldn't help but say to the people participating in the meeting: "I know that I have no right to stop the company's decisions, but I think we need to carefully consider whether Xu Fan's songs should be taken offline or whether Xu Fan should be banned."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people turned their attention to him.
Everyone, from the company's main leaders to the leaders who cooperated with Jihai Entertainment in removing the content, was looking at him at this moment.
He said in a deep voice, "First of all, based on the recent feedback on the Internet and our Penguin Music platform, we can clearly see that Xu Fan is very popular. It's not just Xu Fan's popularity, but even some of his old songs have seen a surge in the number of listeners in the past two days. For example, the song 'Why Not' has been ranked number one in downloads across all platforms since last night. How can we take this kind of data down?"
The moment the words "steadily holding number one" were uttered, the audience erupted in uproar.
Peng An is, after all, a music supervisor, so he is naturally very familiar with the top-level data of the songs.
So when these four words are spoken, no one will doubt them.
But how did an old song suddenly become number one in downloads again?
This is really incredible.
At this point, Peng An didn't stop. He continued, "Secondly, the entire internet is boycotting Xu Fan because of their so-called accusations that Xu Fan lip-synced. You should know that Xu Fan's vocal cords were damaged in a car accident, so even if he lip-synced in that recent performance, according to netizens, they all expressed their understanding."
Everyone expressed their understanding, which surprised everyone present once again.
But Peng An added, "Besides, everyone, please look."
Peng An somehow found a complete video of Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan singing at the opening ceremony of Fanxing Company.
That's right, it's so detailed that you can see Xu Fan's lip movements clearly when he sings.
The sound is very clear, and you can see it clearly here; it's definitely not lip-syncing.
Peng An continued, "These videos all come from my friends at Fanxing Company. They are absolutely real. If you don't believe it, you can ask Fanxing Company to verify it. From the videos, we can see that Xu Fan did not lip-sync. Maybe his voice has recovered, or maybe he was forcing himself to finish the song, but in any case, he did not lip-sync."
As he spoke, Peng An released some more information and continued, "Then there's the shady dealings provided by Jihai Entertainment, which are utterly ridiculous and take things out of context. I believe everyone can see that. Of course, most importantly, right now, Xu Fan's songs are being removed from the entire internet. You see, we only kept them on for a few short hours, and our user base is still growing."
Penguin Music's user base is indeed growing, and this refers not only to new users but also, and more importantly, to online users.
Because many people use the built-in music app on their phones.
However, Xu Fan's songs have now been removed from the platform, and you can only listen to them by downloading Penguin Music.
In this situation, even persisting for just one minute could potentially help Penguin Music gain more users.
It is precisely because of this possibility that, with Xu Fan's popularity steadily recovering, they still refused to remove the work from the platform, citing "still under discussion" as the reason, despite repeated urging from Jihai Entertainment.
However, the copyrights of those songs all belong to Jihai Entertainment, and Tencent Music cannot force them to stay for too long. So, no matter how eloquently Liao Ping and Peng An spoke, the outcome was ultimately predetermined.
After Peng An finished speaking at length, the manager in charge of communicating with Jihai Entertainment couldn't help but say, "The copyright is in the hands of Jihai Entertainment. According to our music listing agreement, they have the right to demand that it be taken down."
This is a fact, and there is no denying it.
The people in the company began to stir, unable to reach a consensus.
But in reality, there can only be one outcome.
Seeing the restless crowd, Peng An knew that there seemed to be no other way to resolve the situation.
Just then, Peng An's phone rang. He quickly answered it, and a moment later, a bright smile appeared on his face as he looked at everyone and said, "I agree too."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to him again.
Just moments ago, they were arguing against all odds to keep Xu Fan's songs, but in the blink of an eye, they received a phone call and suddenly agreed to remove them.
There's always a reason behind everything. Someone nearby asked curiously, "Supervisor Peng, what news did you receive, and why did you suddenly agree?"
Peng An said, "Since the old songs are going to be taken down, if we can't stop them, then we won't."
Everyone was extremely puzzled. Peng An continued, "A Diao was written later, so there shouldn't be any objections to taking it down, right?"
Regarding this song, although Jihai Entertainment has been negotiating with Tencent Music, everyone present shared the same opinion: the new song is none of your business, the copyright is in the hands of Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan themselves.
At this moment, Xu Fan said, "Xu Fan has written another song. We'll put it on the shelves right away. If we don't have enough old songs, we'll make up for it with new ones."
Those are really interesting eight characters.
Everyone present was visibly taken aback, but quickly realized what was going on.
The success of "A Diao" is undeniable, and the song is currently very popular online. Under these circumstances, it would indeed be good news if Xu Fan and Xiao Zihan were to release a new song.
In this way, even if all those old songs are taken down due to copyright issues.
But as long as Xu Fan's songs are still on the platform, that is a unique advantage of this platform.
In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up.
Even the person in charge who negotiated this ban with Jihai Entertainment couldn't help but say, "Then hurry up and negotiate. Exclusive broadcasting rights, we're willing to pay more."
Peng An naturally knew what to do. After receiving everyone's reply, he left the meeting room without stopping. As soon as he stepped out of the meeting room, his assistant came to his side and explained, "The quality of that song is definitely no worse than 'A Diao'."
Peng An asked, "Has the exclusive agreement been discussed with Xu Fan?"
The assistant said, "The song was released by Xiao Zihan."
Peng An stopped and looked at his assistant, who quickly explained, "The song was still written by Xu Fan, but Xiao Zihan will still sing it."
Peng An smiled and said, "These two seem to be in some kind of situation. Could you contact Xiao Zihan or Xu Fan?"
The assistant said, "It should be possible."
