Shanghai, Phoenix Records headquarters.
They started their own development more than 20 years ago, but due to the recession of the record industry year by year, they have been losing money in the past few years.
At the worst time, they all wanted to sell the five-story office building they built and then subsidize various losses.
But because the location was not very good, such a big building had to be sold, and the price offered was not high, at best around 2 billion, so it didn't happen in the end.
The boss, Song Luding, has a background in music. He was a senior of Tang Yuan back then and was a very good person.
Even in the worst years of the recording industry, Song Luding still supported a bunch of young singers in the company, so that they could have food to eat and work like running gigs.
This is also the reason why Tang Yuan and Zhou Jing, the two kings and queens, have not moved away for so many years.
Who wouldn’t want to follow a boss who has a loving boss
In recent years, as society continues to prosper, people's pursuit of music continues to increase, and singers are becoming more and more popular.
With the continuous rise of new media such as music websites, awareness of various genuine products has also increased, so Phoenix Records has ushered in a second spring.
In addition, last year, Song Luding accepted a request to purchase 20% of the shares of Shining Technology and became one of the affiliated companies of Shining Technology.
Shining Technology's network resources were largely mobilized to Phoenix Records, which gave them a lot of benefits.
For example, the year before last, Tang Yuan got a few songs from Shen Huan. The album he released last year sold very well. Together with commercial performances, licensing, etc., it brought a total of 100 million to the company. All kinds of profit income above.
In addition, there are also little kings and queens such as Meng Yang and Liu Fuler, who are also highly sought after. Their fans continue to increase and they have become a new cash cow for Phoenix Records.
But the most powerful one is the new little queen Li Bi.
In so close to two years, Li Bi has earned more than 200 million for the company, but this is because she spent dozens of small concerts, hundreds of fan clubs, hundreds of commercial performances, and dozens of advertisements. It was piled up.
Newcomers who join the company and can immediately earn so much profit for the company are simply rare to find!
Li Bi happened to be the one who debuted on Shen Huan's amazingly talented "I Sing My Song" program.
Mr. Zhao Changshou is the champion and she is the runner-up.
In fact, to be fair, according to normal laws, Li Bi can win the championship in any singing show she goes to, with her passionate singing and dancing, and her strong ability to inspire people on stage.
But that time, because of Shen Huan, every song of Li Bi was suppressed, and in the end she had to settle for runner-up.
But because of the unexpected success of that year's "I Sing My Song", it attracted the attention of countless people. Therefore, after Mr. Zhao Changshou stopped singing, Li Bi, the runner-up, actually took over a lot of resources and look.
Li Bi is a student of Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
She wisely chose to sign with the strongest Phoenix Records.
With the current size of the music scene and the constant emergence of new fans, in a country with a population of 1.5 billion, if there are a few more capable female singers, there is no need to worry about insufficient market.
Under the careful creation of Phoenix Records, Li Bi released three albums in just two years.
The first album achieved excellent results.
Moreover, her sales are rising with each album, and her influence is growing, making her the most popular new female singer among young people.
Jin Guwei, the third runner-up of "I Sing My Song" who debuted with her back then, is still just a rising pop singer, and his status can no longer be compared with hers.
Because of Li Bi's achievements and her influence on young people's self-respect, she finally became the fourth little queen in January this year.
Her growth trajectory is second only to Han Donger's back then.
However, Han Donger's success back then, and she became a little queen in less than a year, was mainly due to her heavenly voice.
What matters more about Li Bi is her whole-hearted devotion and hard work.
In the past two years, I have only slept an average of 5 hours a day, and have less than 10 days of rest a year. The rest of the time is not recording songs, but performing in commercials, participating in various fan clubs, and doing commercials, etc. wait.
Li Bi, who debuted at the age of 20, is now 22 years old. She is really burning her life to take her career seriously.
Many people lamented that Li Bi's success was normal. If Han Dong'er had even half of her efforts and enterprising spirit, she might have become the third queen by now.
Strange to say.
Many people compare Li Bi with Han Dong'er and think Li Bi is the best candidate to catch up with Han Dong'er.
People often lament that if Li Bi had Han Dong'er's resources, even if Teacher Lu Xiaofeng just gave her a song, she would be able to move more steadily.
But Li Bi said something shocking at the award ceremony, and people are still sighing to this day.
"I love Sister Xiaofeng's talent and I admire him!! But I also have to prove to him that no matter how much you look down on me, I will prove to you that I am also a very good girl. It’s worth turning your eyes to me!”
These words directly put Li Bi at the forefront.
Other fans of Han Donger and Shen Huan were even more verbally abusive and scolded her.
Most people scolded her for being shameless and trying to steal Han Donger's man.
But Shen Huan understood Li Bi's mentality.
This girl didn't say this when she was struggling hard, but waited until she became a little queen before she said this. This proved that she had no intention of taking advantage of the popularity.
She was just declaring war.
She wanted to prove that she was no worse than Han Dong'er, and that she was worthy of teacher Lu Xiaofeng's attention and love.
Shen Huan didn't say anything, but Han Dong'er, a silly girl, called and asked Shen Huan not to be angry.
That's why Shen Huan replied to her, "You are a good boy who works hard and I love your good qualities! In the future, you must never forget your original intention and keep working hard!"
It was also love, but Shen Huan's words were not misunderstood.
Everyone said one after another that Sister Xiaofeng was so generous and gentle, and could be so tolerant of this nouveau riche girl.
But many people didn't know that Li Bi directly printed this sentence, made it into a card, and put it in his bag.
Even every time she went to record, she would put up a banner with this sentence as an encouragement to herself.
→_→
Such is the case today.
She stood under this banner, recording her fourth album.
After Shen Huan's NBA finals, the little queen who never fell behind in every game finally started her own work.
As a result, this recording lasted for more than ten days. Except for eating and going home to sleep, she basically stayed in the recording studio.
For this reason, two sound engineers were exhausted, but Li Bi was still in high spirits.
To be precise, since Shen Huan won the championship and FMVP, she has been extremely excited.
What I recorded today is a dynamic and fast song.
Li Bi is not someone who just stands and records songs honestly.
When she records a song, she likes to walk around the studio during the intro, middle, and other periods when there are no lyrics.
The atmosphere of this song reminded her of Shen Huan's NBA games, so she was in good condition from the beginning.
As a result, because she was too excited, she exerted a little too much force, and some passages that could have settled down were sung very high by her.
This phenomenon may cause fans to scream during a live performance, but in the studio version, it must be completely consistent with the tune, so that the difficulty and feeling of singing can be expressed.
So I had no choice but to record it again.
But during the third recording, for some reason, the huge computer monitor next to the microphone suddenly exploded.
Inside the recording studio, that is, the room where the singer sings, the most important thing is of course a professional microphone, and most of them have a computer monitor placed in parallel next to it to prompt various lyrics and tonal changes.
No one thought that such a mature product would explode on the spot!
There was a loud "Peng" sound, and the fragments on the surface of the display splashed directly onto Li Bi, who was standing next to the microphone recording the song.
"ah… "
As the screams passed by, Li Bi covered her face and squatted down.
The staff sitting and standing outside were stunned when they saw this.
Wu Xiaoxia reacted the fastest. With a scream, she quickly opened the door and rushed in.
Only then did several staff members react and rushed into the recording studio.
The whole room was filled with screams and panicked shouts, and it was completely chaotic.
