The most taboo thing in the entertainment industry is trying to stand out. This is like a classmate who can easily take the first place in the school every time, but when his classmates ask him for advice on study methods or borrow notes from him, he always refuses. Can the classmates like him? Will everyone take him to play
As the saying goes: It is your duty not to help, but it is your duty to help, and you must refuse moral kidnapping.
The truth is indeed like this, but this is not a reasonable world to begin with. It's not that you're wrong if you don't help others, but sometimes not helping others makes your life difficult.
Chen Minhao chose to allow anyone to cover the two songs "Later" and "See You Again". The advantage is obvious: it stops everyone's mouths asking for the right to cover. Even if some people are greedy and want the right to cover more songs, Chen Minhao still stands on the moral high ground.
Kang Hui touched the table with his fingers, and said with approval in his eyes: "The idea of free is great. We don't expect to make money anyway. We might as well earn a good reputation. After all, if we hold the right to cover songs tightly in our hands, If you don't let it go, it will cause public outrage.
And the two songs you chose are also very appropriate. The song "Later" was covered by Yao Yiyi. Now that we have opened up this opening, if we cover it for more people, it will feel like spring when a hundred flowers bloom. If there were only versions of you and Yao Yiyi, you would fall into the trap of comparing yourself to Yao Yiyi. "
"As for the song "See You Again" you chose," Kang Hui smiled knowingly, "I will try my best to find a famous singer in the United States and Europe to cover this song."
Chen Minhao and Kang Hui have done a lot of things, but they have always been moving in the direction of global superstars.
Kang Hui has been trying to help Chen Minhao open the door to foreign countries. Currently, Chen Minhao has many fans in the Kingdom of the Sun and the Kingdom of Kimchi. However, apart from the Chinese in Europe and America, Chen Minhao is still at a stage where few people know him.
"See You Again" is the only English song in Chen Minhao's album "Farewell". Although this song caused some waves in English-speaking countries, it is far from becoming a sensation.
The cover itself is a kind of promotion for the song. If "See You Again" is covered and becomes popular, it can effectively enhance Chen Minhao's influence overseas and bring him closer to the word "global superstar".
Kang Hui raised his beautiful eyebrows and said: "Yao Yiyi's manager Tian Chen just contacted me. He asked me, would you still consider participating in Yao Yiyi's subsequent concerts? If you participate, he plans to work with me Plan a plan together to expand the influence of you and Yao Yiyi."
Chen Minhao said without hesitation: "I don't plan to participate."
Kang Hui was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Minhao for two seconds, and asked: "Why? You can improve your live singing level through practice by attending Yao Yiyi's concert. To be realistic, you can attend some singers' concerts Her concert is to help the poor, but if you attend Yao Yiyi’s concert, you can also attract her fans. And I saw that you smiled happily after coming off the stage yesterday."
"Addicted." Chen Minhao said succinctly: "I stood on the stage and watched so many people shouting my name, cheering for me, screaming for me, and tens of thousands of people sang a song with me. It’s a very addictive feeling.”
Kang Hui leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Chen Minhao, and his voice became colder: "So? You were worried about addiction, so you chose not to participate because of choking."
Chen Minhao grinned and said, "Of course not, I plan to hold my own concert."
Kang Hui's voice suddenly turned from cloudy to clear: "Why do you suddenly have the idea of singing?"
Chen Minhao stood up, stretched and said: "Actually, it's not sudden. Sister Kang, do you still remember that when I just debuted from "Artist Producer" the year before last, Zhang Yi, the representative of National Producers at the time, invited me to his Concert?”
Kang Hui nodded and said, "The year before last? I had some impression after your birthday party."
Chen Minhao said: "Well, I just debuted at that time, I didn't have many fans, and I didn't have many good songs. But after I attended Zhang Yi's concert, I felt that a star's own concert was strange. The nine-member band tour organized by Guo Platform is two different things. I thought at that time that I must release an album and then hold my own concert. There was no album before, and my live singing skills did not allow it, so the time was never ripe. Now I feel like the time is almost right.”
Kang Hui sometimes thought from the bottom of his heart that Chen Minhao had something extraordinary. This excellence was not due to Chen Minhao's talent or appearance, but to some of Chen Minhao's personality traits and thoughts.
But Kang Hui, as a crooked manager, still gave his opinion: "The copyright of your album is in your own hands, so the income related to the album is in your own hands. But if you hold a concert , the money you earn is not direct concert ticket income, but appearance fees. This is labor remuneration, and you have to share it with the company. Your management contract with Shenmeng expires in June next year. After the contract expires, . Your income will be very different from the income from concerts now. I suggest you go to the concert after June next year."
Kang Hui said directly: "My original arrangement for you is that you star in a high-quality literary film. It will be filmed during the winter vacation, and then you will strive to win an acting award. Recently, I have been helping you find some scripts. Finally, The ideal transition is when you leave Shenmeng. In terms of acting, you not only have the support of a box-office explosion movie like "Detective", but also the endorsement of heavyweight awards. In this way, at least you don't have to be afraid to travel all over China. As for music, the album "Farewell" will be a hit."
Chen Minhao smiled and said: "Sister Kang, you are trying to collect all the six divine costumes for me. But I don't want to make a literary film."
Kang Hui was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why? Your acting skills are considered very good among the younger generation of stars, so there are naturally not a few people who praise you. But a star like Wei Xiaokang who can only stare has fans saying that his acting skills are good. How about passers-by? Seeing the difference between you and him, doesn't it depend on trophies? People are very superficial. Your album "Farewell" was very successful, but imagine if you didn't win two trophies at the Golden Melody Awards last year, the team Are there a few people among you who are willing to accompany you to make an album?"
Chen Minhao frowned and thought carefully about Kang Hui's words.
Kang Hui smiled proudly: "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "I think what you said makes sense."
Kang Hui's careful thinking was recognized by Chen Minhao. Kang Hui felt a sense of accomplishment and smiled on his face: I don't just take the blame.
