Chapter 51: Both literature and style blossom!
  ["Chasing Dreams" is dedicated to every one of you who is on the road of struggle. Long live youth! 】

["Chasing Dreams": Age is just a number, the pursuit of dreams will never stop! 】

【do you know? He is actually the creator of this super burning, super inspirational, super positive song "Chasing Dreams"? ! 】

[Wuneng is the king of Asia in track and field, and Wenneng’s original song is popular all over the Internet. He is a genius boy in the Chinese sprint world, and he is also the author of "Chasing Dreams"! 】

【.】

In this era, the number of Internet users is only one-tenth of that of later generations, and the dissemination of online content still relies heavily on PCs.

Even if there are entertainment companies for management and portals for push, it will be difficult to make a video or song popular on the entire network in a short period of time.

It was already mid-March when the above-mentioned titles frequently appeared on major portals and video websites, when "Chasing Dreams" was clicked by countless netizens and became popular across the Internet.

At the 100-day swearing-in ceremony at Tsinghua High School, the night he and Hu Yanbing and the band Zhuer completed the debut of "Chasing Dreams", Wen Hao met with the top management of EMI Records.

Before the financial crisis of 08, EMI still had a great influence in Greater China.

In the late 90s, EMI Records first signed the post-childbirth diva Wang Fei for HK$6000 million, and then made every effort to turn Niu Hulu Ying into a mainland diva.

The reason why the two of them were able to sing "Meet Me in 98" together at the Spring Festival Gala was because of EMI's plan.

As for the great gods who joined after the millennium, such as Lin Yilian, Xiao Yaxuan, Tao Jiji, Zhang Yu, Liu Ruoying, etc., there is no need to go into details.

Hu Yanbing was able to help Wen Hao find the band Chuer because the band is currently signed to EMI Records, and Hu Yanbing was also a signed artist of EMI Records.

In fact, long before contacting EMI Records, Hu Yanbing wanted to recruit Wenhao to join his current company, Fenxiang Music.

But Feng Xiang Le Dong's plate is too small for Wen Hao, and his company's influence is limited to the mainland, and it is not even ranked in the mainland, so it will naturally not be Wen Hao's first choice.

Although the three songs Wen Hao has released so far are all Chinese rock songs, in fact, in his career plan as a singer, most of the works he wants to release are English songs, and the style will not be limited to rock.

EMI is currently a British entertainment company headquartered in London with branches in 146 countries and regions around the world.

It’s definitely easy to make money in the Chinese music scene, but wouldn’t it be better if you could look at the world?
  Wen Hao first had an in-depth communication with EMI Records. After the two parties confirmed their intentions, in early March, Wen Hao flew from Guilin to Yanjing with a senior lawyer to clear mines and avoid pitfalls for his precious son.

Sometimes, once the status of "minor" is used, it is really detrimental.

In addition, Wenhao is backed by the national track and field team and Tsinghua University, so EMI Records has made certain concessions in many aspects.

The biggest concession was Wen Hao's insistence that he did not need EMI to carry out artist planning for him.

At first, EMI felt that Wenhao's idea was "unreasonable".

How can an artist not have a plan?

The role of artist planning is to provide effective and feasible development plans for the company's artists and singers who are about to debut or for subsequent development.

Including the artist's character setting, development route, music style, and even the details of the artist's dress, these are all matters that artist planning is responsible for.

Later, when Wen Hao said something, the person in charge of EMI Records stopped worrying about this link.

"I am an athlete first, then a singer!"

Yes, Wen Hao is an athlete first and then a singer.

Being an "athlete" is the best plan! Moreover, this project does not require EMI to invest any resources or bear any project risks.

If Wen Hao fails on his path as an athlete, for example, retires due to injury, or is unable to make progress all year round and is in trouble, wouldn't the character of a tragic athlete who turns to the music world be established directly?
  If Wenhao goes smoothly on the road of being an athlete, and even becomes a world champion or Olympic champion like Liu Xiang, then there will be no need for any planning, because his achievements and honors as an athlete can bring him unlimited traffic!

After laying out the pros and cons, the contract becomes much easier to talk about.

EMI Records also quickly figured it out. Wen Hao's identity is quite special and he cannot think from the perspective of a regular artist. Only by jumping out of the previous framework can we achieve good cooperation with him.

In general, Wenhao needs a platform to promote his music, and EMI Records can gain an all-around artist with an unlimited growth curve.

Regarding Wen Hao's musical talent, the three original songs "Chasing Dreams", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Mountains and Seas" alone have made EMI Records determined to acquire him.

Not to mention that Wenhao is also a very good athlete with unlimited potential.

When sports and music are combined, coupled with Wen Hao's excellent appearance, even if his achievements in the sprint field are limited and he cannot become a world-class athlete, EMI Records will definitely make a profit!
  then.

On the evening of February 2, Wen Hao met for the first time with the person in charge of EMI Records and confirmed his intention.

Then in early March, Wen Hao's mother Yuan Bingmei came with a lawyer to formally contact and began to discuss contract details.

By March 3, the contract details were negotiated and Wenhao officially signed with EMI Records.

On March 3th, Arbor Day, Wenhao's first solo single "Chasing Dreams" was officially released!

Before the official release of this single, the video of Wen Hao, Hu Yanbing, and the Chuer Band performing "Chasing Dreams" at the 12-day swearing-in ceremony of Tsinghua High School had been circulating on the Internet for days.

Because there is no intervention of resource promotion, the speed of dissemination is still very slow.

In the beginning, it was just teachers and students from the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University who uploaded their own videos on post bars, forums, and various emerging video websites. At this time, it was still in the tap phase.

A few days later, fans of Hu Yanbing and Chuer Band gradually learned about the matter and spread the word and discussed it together.

Due to the lag in relevant information at the time, some fans of Hu Yanbing and Chuer Band started a war of words, arguing over which party composed the song "Chasing Dreams".

They even ignored Wen Hao, who was the lead singer that night. They thought that Wen Hao was a sprinter. Although he didn't know when he played so well with his idols and was able to bring them together to play in a band and perform on stage, he definitely had nothing to do with writing lyrics and music. coherent.

It wasn't until EMI Records officially released "Chasing Dreams" and began spending resources to vigorously promote it on major portal platforms that this small-scale farce finally stopped.

Then, when "genius sprinter Wen Hao" was linked to "inspirational song chasing dreams and a pure heart", netizens were shocked.

Surprisingly——

As a rising star in the domestic sports world, Wen Hao won the title of queen in the Asian Indoor Track and Field Championships. Instead of continuing to compete on the field, Wen Hao suddenly went to make music!
  The key is, this song "Chasing Dreams" is really awesome!
  No matter in terms of the melody of the song, the meaning of the lyrics, or the sophistication of the accompaniment, there is nothing wrong with it.

At the same time, the MV for "Chasing Dreams" is also very tearful. It not only includes excerpts from many classic movies such as "The Iron Fist", "Forrest Gump", "Rudy" and "The Shawshank Redemption", but also Joined the Chinese track and field team in the past decades of ups and downs.

"Inspirational", "Passionate", "Never give up".
  With the endorsement of the Chinese track and field team and even the General Administration of Sports, and the vigorous promotion of EMI Records, "Chasing Dreams" was quickly tied to this series of positive words and became widely sung in society.

Among them, young students are the absolute main force in the singing army.

After its official release, "Chasing Dreams" also quickly reached the top of the major music charts in Mainland China, Taiwan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, knocking out all the kings and queens.

When "Chasing Dreams" became popular, "positive energy", a term that was supposed to be widely used by society during the 2012 London Olympics, was also used by Wen Hao in advance.

At this point, Wen Hao's "culture and sports blossoming" development path has finally taken a solid first step!
