"Congratulations!" Xia Tian handed the trophy to BEYOND captain Huang Jiaju and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Huang Jiaju took the trophy with his hands trembling, feeling very excited.

"First of all, thank you very much for holding this competition, which gave us a stage to show ourselves; thank you for all the judges, thank you for your enthusiastic guidance to us; thank our parents, thank you for your understanding and support, allowing us to firmly walk on the road of music; thank you all the fans and friends, you support us to go further..." Huang Jiaju made a speech on behalf of the band.

The audience all gave them warm applause, congratulations to them for finally getting what they wanted and winning the championship of this competition.

"Congratulations to the BEYOND Band! Congratulations to the Tai Chi Band! Congratulations to the Daming Party!! Congratulations!" Huang Zhan smiled, "Thank you to the audience and the audience in front of the TV. The first original song competition ended successfully. Before the end, please sing this song together. I wish our original music in Hong Kong - "Tomorrow Will Better"!"

As he shouted the name, the music started to ring again.

Tonight's award-winning singers, performing guests, competition judges, and dozens of children walked onto the stage together, singing together with the sound of music.

"Let our smiles be filled with youthful pride, and let us look forward to a better tomorrow..."

Seeing such a touching scene, many viewers with low tears even shed tears of emotion.

...

After the live broadcast, everyone went back to the backstage to remove their makeup.

Qiu Degen happily walked to the exclusive dressing room of Xiatian, "Mr. Xia, good news, do you know how high the ratings of our finals are?"

"About 80%." Xia Tian estimated.

The time for this live broadcast has been announced in advance. It is said that TVB specially arranged to screen the American blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2: The Demon Palace Raiders" to grab the ratings.

This movie is directed by American director Steven Spielberg, and it can be regarded as a classic work in an adventure film. Even if it is decades later, the movie still does not look outdated and still amazing, let alone now. Therefore, it is estimated that at least 20% of the people will be attracted to this blockbuster in summer, so it is a good prediction to have 80% of the ratings.

"Haha, Mr. Xia, you guessed it was too conservative." Qiu Degen smiled and said, "Let me tell you, the average ratings of our finals were 85%. In the later stage, when Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Guanjie performed, the ratings once reached 90%, and when you were performing, the ratings even reached 100%.

"It's not that exaggerating, right?" Xia Tian was stunned and said with a smile. "I don't believe that all Hong Kong people are watching ATV, and no one is watching TVB."

"It's true. We asked Nelson to do a ratings survey." Qiu Degen smiled, "But of course, they don't watch ATV, not TVB. Instead, there are too few TVBs, so they ignore it to zero."

"So that's how it is." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

Hong Kong is still very powerful, and only two TV stations compete, so the ratings are dozens of fairies at every turn, and it can be ignored if it is less than one fairy. In the mainland, the highest ratings are only a few fairy, and it must be accurate to the three decimal places.

"Then I congratulate Mr. Qiu on finally being proud of his youth." Xia Tian also smiled.

"Happy and happy together." Qiu Degen also smiled so hard that he couldn't stop. He had been in ATV for so long, and today was the happiest day he felt.

"Mr. Qiu, what will you arrange next after the original song competition ends?" Xia Tian asked curiously again.

"A few days ago, I contacted several Hong Kong film companies according to the idea you gave by Mr. Xia. Madon Xiong produced a ten-episode TV series "The Angry Man in Chaozhou" for us, which tells the story of a big circle. I watched the first five episodes and felt very good! If the audience also agrees, we will cooperate more in the future." Qiu Degen smiled.

Xia Tian was stunned and nodded immediately.

Madon McDonald was originally a TV producer. At that time, he really filmed many good dramas, such as "Crocodile Tears", "The Real Man", "The Silkworm Change", etc. Now he has been working in the film industry for a few years, and his experience is naturally more experienced. In addition, he is originally good at filming male thieves and prostitutes, this "The Angry Man in Chaozhou" should be quite exciting.

"In addition, our Jin Yong martial arts drama "The Sword of Yue Girl" is about to be completed, and we can compete with TVB's "Snow Mountain Flying Fox"." Qiu Degen said confidently.

Xia Tian was stunned and thought of Li Saifeng whom he met in the elevator that day. Since meeting that day, her sweet and lovely appearance has been lingering in his heart and has never forgotten it for a long time.

"I feel happy for you when Mr. Qiu's arrangements are so meticulous." He then smiled slightly.

"Thank you." Qiu Degen smiled, and then said to Xia Tian, ​​"Mr. Xia, I hope your record company can cooperate with us ATV in the future and not let artists always go to the show next door friend station."

Xia Tian smiled and knew that TVB had high ratings and had golden variety shows like "Happy Tonight" and the top ten golden song awards ceremony, so TVB was very attractive to record companies.

TVB also used its viewing advantages to force other record companies to reach an agreement and prevent singers from other record companies from being allowed to go to ATV for promotion. Even if they are interviewed by ATV, they still have to speak Mandarin, which has led to ATV's lack of singers on stage, which has led to many fans not supporting them.

The world record in Xiatian has become popular now, and there are also famous singers such as Luo Dayou, BEYOND band, Tai Chi band, Daming band, Lan Warrior. If you can agree to cooperate with ATV, it would be no less than a timely help. Therefore, as the boss, Qiu Degen has to ask for it personally.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, I am not a person who crosses the river and destroys bridges. Without your assistance, my competition would not be so successful, so I will continue to cooperate with you." Xia Tian smiled, "But our company's business philosophy is different from other record companies. Unless the singers voluntarily, we will not force them to go on TV programs to promote. But I promise you that as long as they are willing to go on TV programs, they will definitely choose your TV programs first."

Although it can increase popularity and promote record sales on the show, many singers actually don’t like to do the show on the TV station.

For example, BEYOND band doesn’t like to go on the show to promote it, and even smashed all the trophys that I finally got.

Because they think that the trophy is for sacrifice of dignity, and they have to play cute or chaotic in TV shows to win the award, rather than simply relying on songs and music, they feel very uncomfortable. This is why Huang Jiaju said the saying "There is only the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, but no music scene."

"If you don't force them to go to the TV station to do promotion, can the sales of the record be guaranteed?" Qiu Degen said in confusion.

Now is not the era of "the wine is not afraid of the deep alley". Good songs must be good publicity. Otherwise, the group of contestants who just won the award will be popular long ago, so why bother wasting so long?

Xia Tian shook his head, "Of course it can't be guaranteed. But this is actually irrelevant to me, because I don't point to the record company to make money. Even if the record sales are bad, those singers will have no food to eat, which is my business?"

Everyone has their own way of living. Even if you let him rest, he may not appreciate it. Some artists are famously lazy and have enough money to spend. They would rather stay at home and play video games than go out to do things when they have time. An artist like that is not motivated and just live by himself. What can you do with him? Do you force him to do things with a knife?!

So in summer, don’t be that kind of evil person. Use the method of “teaching according to your aptitude”. If you are willing to do more, try to arrange for you to do more. If you are unwilling to do things, then don’t arrange for you to do things. Anyway, in the end, you will be "distributed according to your work" and make more money. At that time, those who don’t do things will see others living in luxury houses and driving sports cars and rushing to eat and drink, don’t be jealous and have a look of fire.

When Qiu Degen heard Xia Tian say this, he was stunned at first, and then nodded with a smile. The old saying goes, "No desire is hard", that is, Xia Tian does not point to the record company to make money, so he can be so free and easy. Otherwise, if he changes to a second company, he will use these singers as cows to milk them, and even if he doesn't have milk, he will squeeze them hard and squeeze them dry.

"Your brother is still great." He said in admiration.

...

The next day, the front pages of major newspapers in Hong Kong were almost filled with reports from the "First Original Song Contest".

All major newspapers have not hesitated to give praise to this competition.

What are the "unprecedented grand occasions", "extend ratings", "opening a new era", "the rise of Hong Kong local music", etc. The media also emphasized the grand event of summer. Without his support, this competition would not have been so successful. The 800,000 Hong Kong dollar cash reward was generous and amazing. The person involved in Xia Tian blushed.

"Mr. Xia!" At this time, Luo Dayou knocked on the door and said.

"Mr. Luo, please sit down." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, this is a list of the 100 songs that have been shortlisted. Please check it out." Luo Dayou said.

Xia Tian nodded. He selected a hundred songs from tens of thousands of songs. Although these songs are not classics, each song has its merits and is very recommended.

"Okay, the reward of one million Hong Kong dollars should be redeemed in time, so don't make people feel that we are untrustworthy." Xia Tian said.

"Yes." Luo Dayou nodded, "We are also preparing to gather the top 20 singers to release a record together. Otherwise, the market would be full of pirated goods."

Xia Tian nodded, "I agree with this idea. Also, let those singers work harder and make a record come out while they are very popular now. Otherwise, in another year, when the newcomers come out, they will be forgotten."
Chapter completed!
