Chapter 85 Douyin Invitation
Chapter 85 Douyin Invitation
We are about to enter 2022.
#Douyin Announces "100 Million Yuan Subsidy Plan for Musicians": Incentivizing content creators through traffic sharing and GG collaboration, Douyin officially enters the music market.
#CoconutTreeLivestream Sparks Controversy: Its cheesy marketing has sparked heated discussions, with netizens debating the issue of its content's boundaries. However, Douyin (TikTok's Chinese version) has not banned the livestream, raising questions about its stance.
As a result, all kinds of offline performances and activities were suspended.
The first to be affected were the cancellations of concerts and music festivals by major stars. Even companies that had already made 70-80% of their preparations were forced to shut down upon receiving a single notice.
Miracle was completely dumbfounded.
Wu Qiang's hands trembled when he received the notification from his superior.
For his year-end live broadcast, he chose a stadium in Chengdu that can accommodate several thousand people, and the stage was already half-built.
Stopping now would be the death of him.
Unlike those celebrity concerts, even if this one doesn't happen, people can still hold their own concerts once the lockdown is lifted.
But they are different; if they miss this time period, they will suffer a significant loss.
Who can bear this.
"Hurry up and think of a solution!" Wu Qiang said in a fit of anger.
He was truly at his wit's end this time.
Everything that was planned has now fallen apart.
It's uncertain whether music festivals will even be able to take off next year.
"Let's switch to online!" Chen Lin said after a moment's thought.
"Due to the fluctuations in the epidemic this year, many performances have already tried to move online. We have a first-mover advantage and can achieve results online."
Wu Qiang was unwilling to accept this.
So much money and effort were invested beforehand, and this was the last-minute mess.
"Alright! Let's go prepare."
After the group left, Wu Qiang rubbed his brow and dialed the phone.
"Mr. Wu?"
Shen Mo was stunned when he saw his phone call.
Why would the other party call him at this hour?
"Mr. Wu, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Shen Mo, I won't beat around the bush either."
"I'll sign a separate contract with you, and we can discuss the profit sharing later. What do you think?"
To get straight to the point.
Wu Qiang's ability to bring Miracle Media to its current state in just one year is beyond doubt.
Originally, this matter wasn't urgent, but given the current situation and the company's business performance this year, it's inevitable that they will be heavily indebted.
The annual live broadcast night, which he had placed high hopes on, instantly turned into the biggest hole.
Fortunately, the company still has Shenmo.
If we sign Shen Mo, the copyrights to the two songs, combined with his own abilities, will at least prevent the situation from getting too bad this year, if not immediately turn a profit.
The premise is that he can move Shen Mo.
"You are very talented, but both 'Towards the Clouds' and 'Rakshasa Mirage' were clearly poorly managed. If a company were to help you, the revenue from these two songs would be at least ten times higher."
"If you sign, the company will be built around you next year, how about that?"
"This is a big deal, Mr. Wu. I need to discuss it with my family."
"Of course!"
The two quickly ended their conversation.
From the other person's tone, Shen Mo could sense their anxiety.
He naturally wouldn't re-sign with Miracle. Putting aside personal feelings, purely from a profit perspective, Miracle wasn't a good choice.
As his confidence grew, his horizons naturally broadened as well.
Miracle Media is currently a company whose main business is live streaming, and now they are simply interested in the two songs he has.
However, in music copyright management, Miracle has not only failed to achieve anything, but also has virtually no experience.
Only an idiot would choose that person.
However, Wu Qiang's words reminded him.
"I should start thinking about what to do in the future."
Should I join a large company, or start my own?
His first thought was Huang Qishan.
As a veteran in the industry, the other party's experience can definitely help him.
I made two calls, but no one answered either time.
Meanwhile, the online buzz surrounding Huo Sheng continues to grow.
Whom Heaven wishes to destroy, it first makes mad.
This phrase perfectly describes Huo Sheng.
The biggest bombshell came from the trending topic of Wang Lihong's divorce.
Following Li Lilei's lengthy accusations against Wang Lihong for marital infidelity and soliciting prostitutes, Wang Lihong first apologized and then announced his retirement from the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Xu Xuanxuan, BY2, and other artists implicated by the two also quickly issued clarification statements.
Instantly, the entire internet began a massive investigation into the "scumbag men" in the entertainment industry. After all, even a good man like Wang Lihong had his image shattered, so are there any clean people left in this circle?
#A blogger with millions of followers exposed "a young male celebrity surnamed Z selecting concubines"; Zhang Nuli's studio responded strongly and forced the rumor-monger to apologize.
Singer Huang An revealed that Wang Jianlin and Zhang Ziyi have divorced. Zhang Ziyi quickly denied the rumor and threatened to sue. Huang An apologized.
With the support of social media, rumors spread like wildfire, prompting many celebrities in the entertainment industry to step forward and refute them, recreating the grand spectacle of "Rumor Refutation Day" at the beginning of the year.
The entertainment industry is bustling, but life goes on as usual for Shenmo.
Inside the live stream room.
"This really has nothing to do with me. I'm just a nobody, please don't drag me into this!"
"Mr. Huo is a big shot, we small-time streamers can't even dream of reaching that level. Please focus on my work and don't drag me down!"
"I'm a legitimate dance streamer, so please focus more on my looks and talent."
"Who is Ma Hu? I don't know. It's a general term without a specific target."
"Another bird? Heh! Same here!"
"Let me clarify something. I did have some family matters to attend to and took a long leave from work, so I haven't been participating in any of the recent evening live streams."
"Someone in my family is sick and needs nursing care, so I've taken a longer leave. I'll be back at work after the New Year. I'll also be participating in the live broadcast competition."
"I'll perform for everyone! Do you want to see me sing or dance? I'm fine with either."
Shen Mo faced the camera with a calm expression and began the live broadcast.
However, people are clearly more interested in his songs today.
There are currently over 60,000 attendees, two-thirds of whom came specifically for his songs.
Compared to before, the only difference is that the tips are being given out like they're free.
The interactions on the screen are no longer just simple chats; many people are asking for advice on the arrangement of "Rakshasa Mirage" and creative inspiration.
It gave him the illusion that he had become a star.
The two-hour live stream was far more tiring than his previous five-hour live streams.
I habitually checked the scores of my two songs.
The data for "Towards the Clouds" has taken off, with the recommendation index reaching an astonishing 92.6 points.
This score is based on data from many established singers' new songs.
Being included in "Hurricane Project" was naturally a piece of cake.
While "Rakshasa Sea City" lacks the personal experiences of the protagonist, it has generated considerable buzz thanks to the presence of stars Zheng Mou and Huo Sheng.
Although it didn't reach the terrifying success of its predecessor, it still caused a minor earthquake in the music industry.
His works have been launched on three major platforms: Tencent, Hongyun, and Douyin. With his current popularity, he quickly rose to the top of the charts on all three platforms.
Correspondingly, based on these achievements, he also successfully entered Hongyun Music's "Hurricane Project" and Penguin Music's "100 Million Yuan Incentive Plan 3.0".
Especially on Hongyun Music, his songs are currently ranked first and second on the new song chart.
Just as I was about to leave, my phone rang.
Shen Mo thought it was Huang Qishan, but when he picked it up, he found it was an unfamiliar number.
A call from Beijing!
"Hello, is this Mr. Shen Mo? I'm Tang Yan from the Douyin Organizing Committee, and I'm formally inviting you to the Douyin Wonderful Night. We've already sent you an invitation through the backend. The event is on the evening of the 28th, and you'll need to arrive a day in advance. The venue is the Jinling Youth Olympic Sports Park Gymnasium. Is your schedule convenient at the moment?"
