Entertaining Children

   Chapter 701

After weighing repeatedly, Xiao Yao, who was uncertain, called Chen Yang and asked Chen Yang's opinion. After all, Chen Yang originally came out of the East China Sea Sharks, and he still has inextricable connections with the original club. Now he is the vice chairman of the Basketball Association. If he thinks it’s okay not to sign a contract after passing the trial, then the East China Sharks The team shouldn't have much opinion on him.

  Of course it’s okay not to sign a contract after passing the trial, but only if you have a better club to choose from. For example, after you pass this trial, go to another club to try out and sign a contract with a club that has more prospects for your development or a better contract. There is no problem. But after the trial training is over, not signing with any club and going back to continue to develop in the entertainment industry is to treat the trial training of his former club as a trifling matter. Of course, Chen Yang is unacceptable.

  After receiving Xiao Yao's call, after listening to his thoughts, Chen Yang smiled and scolded Xiao Yao, and persuaded him to dismiss the idea. Let him either try out well, sign a contract if he passes, and play professional games for a few years, or simply refuse the big shark club, mix his own showbiz, don't waste the resources of the people's club to make the tryout fun.

  Without the support of Chen Yang, Xiao Yao was too embarrassed to mess around and interfere with the normal work of the People’s Club. He replied and rejected the trial invitation of the East China Sea Sharks.

   Afterwards, the East China Sea Sharks also announced on the official website that Xiao Yao decided to continue to develop in the entertainment industry, and had no intention of changing to a professional player, and rejected the trial.

  Seeing the official release of the big sharks, many "pills" were greatly relieved.

  After the news came out, Xiao Yao’s fans were really worried that Xiao Yao, a guy who often acted unexpectedly, would have a hot mind and really quit the entertainment circle and went to become a professional player. Especially when Fang still said in an interview with reporters that Xiao Yao was thinking about it, many fans were full of worries. Although Xiao Yao's performance in the charity competition was really outstanding, amazed many people. However, compared to watching Xiao Yao playing professional games, more people still want to hear Xiao Yao's songs and watch Xiao Yao acting, hoping that he will continue to develop in the entertainment industry.

  From the perspective of Xiao Yao’s consistent style, and the news of the invitation to the trial training was announced by the East China Sea Sharks, not many people said that Xiao Yao and the East China Sea Sharks took the opportunity to speculate on the Internet. To talk about hype, it also means that Xiao Yao, who has attracted great attention from the Sharks' performance in the charity match, is more hype. And when Xiao Yao rejected the Sharks’ trial invitation, as most people expected, there were more remarks accusing the Sharks of deliberate hype.

"People Xiao Yao has developed well in the show business circle, and now he is still in school in Shenxi, how could he give up his studies and career in show business circle to play professional games? Knowing that he will not come, so the East China Sea Sharks deliberately Sending such an invitation to try out the news to attract attention." It has become the unanimous evaluation of many netizens on the Internet.

Since the trial training invitation sent by the East China Sea Shark Club listed the training plan and inspection content in great detail, a sincere and true appearance, it is not purely hyped by him, so Xiao Yao told the East China Sea Shark. The team’s way of publishing the news on the official website is not objectionable.

At the time when the Internet criticized the East China Sea Shark's hype, Xiao Yao also announced the detailed training plan from the East China Sea Shark on the Internet, indicating that they were indeed very sincere in inviting him to the trial, and also stated that he It was indeed tempted. It was just that I couldn't let go of my current studies and career in the performing arts circle, so I had no choice but to refuse. It can be regarded as reducing some public opinion pressure for the East China Sea big sharks.

  After dealing with the trial training, Xiao Yao focused on the theme song of the basketball league. Xiao Yao promised Chen Yang to hand over two English and two Chinese songs before October 20th, a total of four songs for him to choose, and now there is not much time left before the date of the exchange.

   Xiao Yao dared to promise Chen Yang four new songs at once, so he was naturally prepared. But the song to the Basketball Association is not just for writing the lyrics and music scores, but for the official finished product. At first, Xiao Yao and Chen Yang emphasized that they could not find other singers to sing after taking the song, because Xiao Yao did not plan to sing all four songs by himself. Among them, it takes time to arrange music, soundtrack, and find other singers to cooperate with the practice and recording.

  The four songs Xiao Yao intends to give to Chen Yang are "Believe in Yourself" by the Band Zero, "Run" by Yu Quan, "HallOfFame" by TheScript and "Fighter" by Christina Auilera.

  Two of the Chinese songs Xiao Yao plan to sing by himself. There is rap in the song "HallOfFame". In the original version of the previous life, TheScript is a collaboration with Will.I.Am of TheBlackEyedPeas. Xiao Yao intends to find Chen Chen to collaborate on this song. He will be responsible for the singing part, and Chen Chen will be responsible for the rap part of the song. As for the song "Fighter" by Ma Ma in the previous life, Xiao Yao planned to find Liang Xueying to sing it.

  There is nothing to say about the English song that Chen Chen cooperated with. The singer in his own studio is also a close friend. At the same time, he is basically the only male rap singer Xiao Yao knows. Apart from him, Xiao Yao has no other candidates. For another English song, Liang Xueying was asked to sing for different reasons.

  At the disaster relief party of CCTV, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying once collaborated on a song "Because of You". The chorus of the two was the first performance of the song, but after the disaster relief party, Xiao Yao did not record the official version of the song with Liang Xueying, but left the song to Fan Linxuan. At the CCTV disaster relief party, Fan Linxuan's level was not enough to be able to sing with him on stage. Xiao Yao reluctantly compromised, but with whom the official version of the song was released, it was up to Xiao Yao himself.

  This song "Because of You" changed to Fan Linxuan's official version, Xiao Yao told Liang Xueying early in the morning. Although Liang Xueying said that she had no opinion, Xiao Yao was still somewhat embarrassed.

  Liang Xueying has produced many English songs. The style and singing are the most European and American female singers Xiao Yao currently knows. At the same time, she herself has a good distribution channel in North America. The "Fighter" by Ma Ma is very suitable for Liang Xueying's European and American singing. To sing this English song to Liang Xueying is very suitable in terms of music style and distribution. Because of the little guilt of Liang Xueying on the song "With You", Liang Xueying has also become the best candidate for Xiao Yao's song.

  When she debuted on the audition show, Liang Xueying gave the impression that she sang very well in English. After becoming famous, she has also been determined to develop in the direction of internationalization. Although some English songs have been released over the years, some markets have been opened up in Europe and the United States, and even a very famous talk show in the United States has been taken part in, but generally speaking, the results are still relatively average, and the popularity in Europe and the United States is limited. One of the big reasons for this is that her most famous English songs at the moment are also the covers of several European and American queens she sang on the talent show that year. Her own English songs are very popular in Europe and the United States, and none of her songs have entered the top 50 of the billboard singles chart in the United States.

  But Xiao Yao is different. The three songs Xiao Yao wrote for Immortals all made it into the top 30 on the billboard singles chart, the top ten on the rock chart, and "sugar" written for the Daydream band won the billboard single champion, and Gong Chen's two electronic music songs "Faded" and "SingMeToSleep" are in the top 50 of the billboard singles chart and the top 20 of the electronic music chart. His own song "ThnkingOutLoud" has reached the top ten on the billboard singles chart, and there is another song "American Airlines Broke My Guitar", which didn't hit the chart but caused United Airlines to lose nearly 200 million U.S. dollars in the United States. Almost a household name.

  Even though Xiao Yao himself rarely appears in public in the United States, his name has long been familiar to the American music scene. In terms of fame, Xiao Yao, who has only been on the Oscar stage once as a band member, is probably no less famous in the United States than Liang Xueying, who has performed in concerts in the United States. If there is an English song tailored by Xiao Yao for herself, Liang Xueying believes that with Universal Records' promotional ability, she can at least send this song to the top 50 billboards in the United States.

   Therefore, Liang Xueying was overjoyed when she heard that Xiao Yao wrote a new song specifically for herself, which was still an English song. Without saying a word, he put aside everything at hand and immediately flew to Shencheng to record this English single with Xiao Yao.

The quasi-day queen singer Liang Xueying has nothing to say about Xiao Yao’s call. Chen Chen is an artist in Xiao Yao’s own studio. He is not only Xiao Yao’s buddy, but also created by Xiao Yao. It is even more important to Xiao Yao. It's responsive. After receiving the news from Xiao Yao, Chen Chen, who was already relatively free, also flew to Shencheng immediately.

  The lyrics and music scores have been written a long time ago, and Xiao Yao also had drafts for the arrangement and soundtrack. With all the staff, the recording of these songs by Xiao Yao went very smoothly. Taking into account Xiao Yao's student status, Liang Xueying and Chen Chen even cooperated to accommodate Xiao Yao's time in the recording studio at night. Without asking for leave, Xiao Yao had already recorded all the official versions of the four songs in the studio around October 15.

  After the song was recorded, Xiao Yao also discussed the copyright of the song with Liang Xueying.

  Chen Chen is his own singer, and his studio is responsible for the release of the song, so Xiao Yao can handle the song that the two collaborated on. Liang Xueying has her own company and her own distribution channels. She does not need Xiao Yao or Qi Jia Studio to be responsible for distribution. Generally speaking, Xiao Yao sold the commercial copyright of the song to Liang Xueying, and she arranged the distribution by herself.

  But these four songs are all songs prepared by Xiao Yao for the theme song of the China Basketball Professional League. If they are selected by the Basketball Association, they will also involve some copyright issues. Xiao Yao hopes that after selling the commercial copyright of the song to Liang Xueying, he can act as an agent for part of the copyright in this respect. Xiao Yao helped the Basketball Association to write these songs because of his friendship with Chen Yang, not for the money from the Basketball Association. He didn't want to show that the Basketball Association chose this song, but in the end it was because the price was not agreed. And there is an unpleasant situation. In case the price given by the Basketball Association fails to meet Liang Xueying's expectations, then he can quietly subsidize the previous part.

  Liang Xueying is not short of money at all. She sang Xiao Yao's songs, and she fancyed fame, not profit. If the Basketball Association really chooses this song as the theme song of the league, it will also be a very good publicity for the song itself. After understanding what Xiao Yao meant, Liang Xueying immediately said that he would leave the matter to Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao can treat this song like the other three songs he sings, even if it is a free professional league theme for the Basketball Association. There is no problem with the song.

  The discussion was decided and the recording was completed. Liang Xueying flew back to Yanjing with a copy of the official audio source file. Liang Xueying was full of confidence in the song Xiao Yao wrote to her, and enthusiastically returned to the company and people worked out a plan for publicity and distribution. Because of the campaign for the theme song of the China Basketball Professional League, Liang Xueying suppressed her excitement and set the release plan of this song in November, and at the same time planned to be selected as the theme song of the basketball professional league. Two different publicity plans selected by the cooperation.

  October 19, one day earlier than the date Xiao Yao promised Chen Yang, Xiao Yao passed the final version of the four songs to Chen Yang.

  Only a day later, Xiao Yao received Chen Yang's reply.

"You want all four songs?" Xiao Yao said to the phone with some surprise, "Isn't it a theme song? What do you mean by the four capitals? Are you going to change the theme song every year and give you all the songs for the next three years? Booked?"

  "If we really change the theme song every year, can you promise to write us one every year after three years?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course~impossible!" Xiao Yao said loudly, "I just saw that you just joined the Basketball Association this year. I will support you in action, and promise you once is not bad. Don't want to rely on me! Let's talk about it, the Basketball Association. The leadership team changes every four years. Who knows if you are still in the Basketball Association after four years."

   "Hey, you kid, can't you count on me to be better?" Chen Yang said in an angry voice.

"Don't be kidding, which one do you use?" Xiao Yao continued, "These four songs are all going to be released. We have to plan the announcement based on your choices. You tell me which one I chose. We are ready to arrange the follow-up publicity work."

"No kidding, I really want it all!" Chen Yang said in a serious tone, "After listening to these four songs, we think they are all pretty good. The number of people who choose "Believe in Yourself" is the most. Next is "HallOfFame", but the other two songs are also very good, and we don't want to give up, so we came up with a special promotion plan to use all four of your songs."

  "What special propaganda plan?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"Believe in Yourself" is the theme song of the league, "Running" is the promotional song of the league. "HallOfFame" is our international theme song, and "Fighter" is the international promotional song. Facing the domestic and overseas markets, we will do four different In this way, all four of your songs are used. So we need all of your four songs." Chen Yang explained.

   "Damn, you can think of this way?" Xiao Yao said silently.

"Isn't there often several versions of trailers for movies, TV shows, etc.? Any advance trailer, overseas version, international version, etc., then our league can also be promoted like this." Chen Yang laughed, "Use four What's wrong with using a different song as background music and four different promotional videos? It's just a name."

"Okay, there are four of four." Xiao Yao said, "I originally thought that if you use my song as the theme song, the copyright can give you a discount or even free, but you all want all of the four at once. I am not so generous. I will send the party to discuss the copyright price with you later!"

   "Okay," Chen Yang said with a smile, "Professional leagues have been in a good market in recent years. We are not bad for money. How can we talk about it. As long as you don't let the lion open your mouth, we'll be fine.
