Chapter 1315 1417. Happy New Year

Basically, all the bands that participated in the show "Summer of the Band" have increased in value. At least in the name of participating in the show, they have many more commercial performances than usual.

And each of the bands that made it to the top 16 has received endorsement contracts, with varying amounts. But for this group of people who play in bands, an endorsement can be called 'precious'. .

You know, before the show, the band circle was really not easy to get along with.

At the beginning, the Baojia Street Band was well-known in the industry, but the music company did not sign the band at all and wanted to sign Wang Fuzi alone. As a result, Wang Fuzi went solo and the Baojia Street Band was disbanded.

There are too many similar situations. Before the show, the band's main income came from domestic music festivals. Only a few bands were able to appear on TV stations' evening parties, and they were not important guests. Many times they were not even invited. All idol groups must be ranked ahead of them.

After all, idol groups still have fan bases, and bands really play in their own small circles.

However, through this variety show, the band's performance style has come back into the public eye. The public has discovered that many of the rock songs originally performed by the band are actually very good, especially some adaptations of classic songs, which the band sings in its own style. , there is a different kind of style immediately.

In Nie Wei's view, there is actually a big market for rock bands in China, but it has not been discovered before.

You must know that rock is a major category of music, unlike rap, which is really a niche culture. Therefore, since rap can become popular in China, rock should naturally have this foundation as well.

Especially in pop rock, Baodao's May Band has been popular in the circle for twenty years, which is the most obvious example.

It's just that before the show, the music company really didn't pay attention to the cultivation of the band. It always felt that the band was a loser. As a result, the band circle had no resources at all, so naturally it could only sink.

Now with the popularity of the show, companies in the industry have also seen that the band has the ability to make money, so they are extending olive branches one after another, hoping to profit from it.

It's a pity that rock bands, which have been despised by these music companies for decades, can easily believe in the promises of music companies.

Smart people can see that most of these music companies just want to make a fortune by leveraging their current popularity, but they have not given detailed plans for their future development. They are all vague about this. His words are either false or empty, which makes people feel sick after hearing them.

There are actually not many idiots who play in bands. The key is that this circle has become small enough due to the suppression within the band over the years. Because it is small enough, they are very united with each other.

And because the circle is small, everyone can always find friends. Soon, the bands participating in the show got together to discuss what to do next.

Signing with a company is definitely the first choice for most bands right now. After all, it is the company that has the confidence to produce a good album. After all, it is impossible to make a decent album today for hundreds of millions per piece, and this amount of money For these bands today, it is an unbearable burden.

The key is that having a company can ensure the band's subsequent publicity. As long as the company provides resources, they can also appear on shows, perform at parties, and even hold their own concerts.

But if the bands were to do this on their own, more than 90% of the bands would not be able to do it. The remaining 10% would have to grit their teeth and risk losing their fortune.

"Old Zhao, don't just drink, give me some advice." Peng Sanshi, who was in new pants, asked Zhao Mingyi at the side of the reserved barbecue restaurant.

Although this championship is their new trousers, in terms of personnel and prestige in the circle, the Black Panthers still have the energy. The key is that in this program competition, the Black Panthers also won the second place. His performance and popularity are no worse than theirs.

So when everyone got together to discuss the signing of the contract, Brother Zhao was the backbone.

But for today's dinner, Peng Sanshi invited Zhao Mingyi to have barbecue alone.

Taking a sip of white wine, Zhao Mingyi looked at Peng Sanshi in front of him and knew in his heart that this guy was here to negotiate the contract on behalf of New Pants. Peng Sanshi was the core of the New Pants band, and he wrote most of the lyrics and music of this band. Responsible, so he can also represent the attitude and decisions of this band to a certain extent.

After entering the barbecue restaurant, Peng Sanshi had already told Zhao Mingyi the situation.

Putting down his wine glass, Zhao Mingyi rubbed his hair and said, "To be honest, I don't know which company to sign with, but I can recommend two companies to you, Huayi and Fanxing."

"The reason is also very simple. There is Nie Wei behind both companies. He is the one who organized the show we are on. I believe he will definitely pay more attention to the band than other music companies." Zhao Mingyi made a brief analysis.

Don't look at the fact that there are many big companies looking for these bands to sign contracts, and for champions like New Pants, transnational music giants like SONY and Universal are coming to offer them an olive branch. But how many resources can you get by signing with such a big company? Instead, it is an unknown quantity.

However, Zhao Mingyi also knew that even if Nie Wei was willing to sign with these bands, he would definitely choose the best from the best. He would probably only sign one or two, and the rest would definitely be useless.

Otherwise, Peng Sanshi would not have invited Zhao Mingyi privately. In fact, Zhao Mingyi had received no fewer than ten similar invitations.

Although everyone is united, if they really face such a precious quota, they will definitely fight for it privately.

After all, resources are limited. The company cannot support a large number of bands, just like it is impossible to launch a large number of idol groups at the same time. That will cause a serious waste of resources. Instead, taking the elite route is the best choice to maintain income and the band itself.

Zhao Mingyi's recommendation was not surprising to Peng Sanshi, and he was not actually here to listen to opinions, but was waiting for Zhao Mingyi to say this.

Because only when Zhao Mingyi said this, he would have the opportunity to achieve his goal.

Peng Sanshi of New Pants has been patiently listening to Zhao Mingyi's speech. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately asked: "Old Zhao, since you said that these two companies are good, can you give a recommendation, at least help us introduce them."

Peng Sanshi said it very straightforwardly, and did not hide his idea of ​​wanting to enter one of the two companies.

Just like Zhao Mingyi said, big-name companies have a loud name, but they are not necessarily suitable for the development of bands, and small companies are unreliable and may be a pit.

But Huayi is different from Fanxing. Although it has a big name, the competition within the company is not fierce. For example, Huayi Group currently has only one rock band, Black Panther, signed, and Fanxing has no rock bands at all.

But if we compare the two companies, Peng Sanshi is more likely to be signed to Fanxing.

Although the music department under Fanxing is just a decoration, as long as Nie Wei is there, this music department is top-notch in China. Nie Wei's strong ability in composing and writing lyrics has been proven countless times in the past 20 years. He is good at a variety of music styles, including rock music.

As long as Nie Wei is willing to write a hit song himself, then this album will definitely sell well.

Fanxing seems to have no experience in promoting singers, but because of Nie Wei, this shortcoming is actually made up invisibly.

Moreover, Fanxing's strongest point is variety shows, and it is worth mentioning that, except for a few top singers, most of the popular singers online cannot do without the promotion of variety shows, and even many singers have regained their popularity because of variety shows.

There are also many music variety shows produced by Fanxing, such as "Singer", which has made many out-of-date singers famous, and "Summer of the Band", which has brought their rock band back into the public eye, is also produced by Fanxing.

In addition to music programs, Fanxing also has many trump card programs, which are excellent publicity platforms. As long as they can be on it once, they will get a lot of attention.

Of course, there is another point. Recently, it has been rumored in the circle that Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei are not getting along. Although it is just a rumor, what if it is true?

So it is safer to join Fanxing, which is a company founded by Nie Wei.

"Old Peng, you have begged me so much, I will definitely help you, but the New Year is coming soon, and Mr. Nie will definitely not have time. After the New Year, I will find a chance to help you talk to you."

"Old Zhao, you are very nice. I toast you a glass." Peng Sanshi heard Zhao Mingyi's agreement, and immediately said hello, picked up the wine glass and clinked it, then drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he turned the wine glass over and nodded, indicating that he was not playing tricks.

After all, if Zhao Mingyi helped, it would mean that both Peng Sanshi and New Pants owed Zhao a big favor.

"I won't say much about gratitude, but I, Peng Sanshi, will remember this favor. It would be best if you are fine in the future. If you have any difficulties, come to me and I will definitely help you without hesitation."

"Okay, I know you are loyal, let's go with another one."

Zhao Mingyi was drinking while thinking in his heart that recommending bands is also a matter of taste. If he really recommends those bands that are neither high nor low to Nie Wei, not to mention whether Nie Wei likes them or not, this will probably reduce his points with Nie Wei. Who knows how much benefit he has received from others.

So the bands to be recommended cannot be too bad, at least they should be of the top four level, which will reduce the range of choices a lot.

Moreover, the other party's character must be acceptable, and he cannot take his recommendation for granted. Therefore, Zhao Mingyi finally chose Peng Sanshi's New Pants. It's not that the other two bands are not good, but he is not familiar with them. However, Zhao Mingyi knows Peng Sanshi well.

They were originally good friends, and in addition to Peng Sanshi, the other members of the New Pants Band also have a good relationship with Zhao Mingyi. People who are familiar with each other are naturally more confident. Zhao Mingyi knows that Peng Sanshi will definitely remember the favor he has given.

This is enough for Zhao Mingyi to lend a helping hand, not to mention that if this recommendation is successful, he can also be credited with Nie Wei, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After the two finalized the introduction, the rest of the time was spent eating barbecue and drinking wine, chatting about life after the show, and expressing some feelings.

Zhao Mingyi was lucky. His Black Panther had Huayi as a backer, and Nie Wei wrote a few songs for them, plus he had participated in the "Singer" program, so he was still popular and not short of money.

But the members of New Pants really felt the earth-shaking changes.

Before the show, they were unknown people in the original company. The company would rather support the young idol group that became popular on the Internet than to give them a decent album.

So before participating in the show, Peng Sanshi resolutely left the company with the band.

Fortunately, the boss was a good friend. Although the contract still had two months to run, Peng Sanshi and his friends wanted to leave the company, but the boss did not stop them. He probably thought that Peng Sanshi's departure was nothing. After all, the band had not brought any benefits to the company except for writing a few good rock songs in the past few years.

Of course, now, the boss must be regretting it.

Not only did the New Pants band become popular because of the show, but it also soared to the sky and became one of the most popular bands in the country.

In just one day, without contacting the agency, New Pants received a total of about 3 million endorsement contracts, countless commercial performances, and countless singers who invited them to sing.

Of course, Peng Sanshi was not blinded by the benefits in front of him. He knew very well that these were all due to the popularity of the show. It came quickly and went quickly. At most two or three months, the popularity would drop. If the band continued to develop mediocrely, it would probably disappear in less than a year.

So he was in a hurry to find a professional agency to sign a contract.

It is necessary for the agency to make a plan for their band and provide them with resources so that they can maintain their popularity. It is reasonable to pay some benefits for this, because they will get more and have a bright future.

"In short, this year can be a good year." Peng Sanshi sighed, and Zhao Mingyi on the side also nodded with a smile, thinking that many old friends seemed to have a good year.

On New Year's Eve, Nie Wei got up early and drove Shu Chang to the courtyard.

It is better to spend the New Year in this old house. As for the manor, Nie Wei gave the workers a holiday early. Except for the necessary guards who need to take turns, everyone else has at least seven days of vacation and can go back to their hometown to spend time with their family and children.

Cheng Zimo has also returned to his hometown a long time ago. Since Mr. Cheng moved the martial arts school to Kyoto and then opened it all over the country, he has become a celebrity in his hometown.

Every time he goes back, he returns home in glory and has many people to greet.

And Cheng Zimo is the most proud child of the old man, so naturally he has to be brought to his side.

It is worth mentioning that Cheng Zimo, no one knew how he did it, but he actually brought Liu Chengcheng with him to go back to his hometown with the old man to celebrate the New Year. Their love life progressed so rapidly that Nie Wei was shocked when he heard the news.
