170 Going abroad into Asia
The host is Wang Jinghua, because he knows all three parties well, and Ye Fan also gives her many opportunities to show her face.
After thanking the reporters for arriving, Wang Jinghua began to introduce everyone on the podium.
Xu Zhiwei, president of Warner (China) Records, and Zhou Jianhui, general manager of Warner (China) Records. Zhou Jianhui was appointed as the general manager of Warner Greater China in advance because of his contribution to the cooperation.
Xu Zhongmin, chairman of Jingwen Records, Zhang Xing, general manager of Ye Fan Studio, and Ye Fan himself.
After everyone was introduced, the domestic reporters were a little commotion. They didn't expect the president of Warner to come in person, and people from Jingwen Company also came. Didn't their contract with Ye Fan expire?
Regardless of the reaction of everyone in the audience, Xu Zhiwei spoke. He first thanked Ye Fan for choosing Warner, and then told the contents of the three-party cooperation.
The reporters in the audience were shocked. They thought it was Ye Fan who signed the contract, but they didn't expect the three parties to play such a big role and directly formed the Warner Jingwen Company! This is the rhythm of Warner's entry into the domestic market!
Xu Zhiwei also announced that Xu Zhongmin would continue to serve as the president of Warner Jingwen. He looked forward to the future of domestic development and hoped to continue the glory of Warner and Jingwen. Then the three parties directly started signing contracts.
After the people on the rostrum shook hands, Xu Zhiwei, Xu Zhongmin, and Zhang Xing signed the contract respectively. The process belonging to the rostrum was over, and it was the reporters' turn to ask questions.
Shi Shaohe reacted quickly. After all, it was the home court. In previous press conferences, Ye Fan basically asked him to take the lead in asking questions. After discussions among the three parties, they also decided to reveal the truth, otherwise Jiang Huang would not dare to talk nonsense.
"Mr. Xu, can you tell me how much the signing fee is for you and Ye Fan this time?"
This was originally the focus of Warner's publicity to the domestic music scene. Even if Shi Shaohe didn't ask, reporters from other countries would still ask.
Xu Zhiwei laughed and said: "We signed a 6-record deal with Ye Fan for a total of 60 million! Hong Kong dollars!"
Boom! The whole place was in an uproar!
You must know that the news of the princess signing a 60 million contract with EMI happened not long ago, and Ye Fan signed another contract with the same price. Is it so profitable to be a singer?
Although the princess is contracted for 5 albums and Ye Fan is for 6, how long has it been since the princess debuted? How many years ago has Ye Fan debuted? Obviously, Ye Fan's 60 million signing fee is more sensational.
Shi Shaohe and some reporters knew the news in advance and felt better. However, the reporters who did not know the news were still severely hit in the heart by this number.
Especially domestic journalists, how much was their monthly salary in 1997? Ye Fan got 60 million, or Hong Kong dollars, for just a few records. This made them have mixed feelings and all kinds of envy.
At this time, it was the turn of a Hong Kong media to ask: "Mr. Xu, is Ye Fan's signing fee the same as that of the princess? Is it a bit high? After all, Ye Fan has only released three albums?"
This question was obviously suspected of provocation. Xu Zhiwei solemnly emphasized: "This has been discussed by the company. Ye Fan is worth the price, and we believe that Ye Fan can bring benefits to Warner that far exceed this price."
Domestic reporters do agree with this price. Ye Fanguang's profits from his three albums are more than 60 million, and this is without Ye Fan participating in commercial performances.
They know that Ye Fan's current domestic commercial performance price is as high as 3 million, and he may not be able to hire it. He is definitely one of the singers with the highest commercial performance!
Xu Zhiwei's answer is not a compliment to Ye Fan, because this is indeed a fact. Being able to enter the mainland market and Ye Fan's commercial value will bring benefits to Warner that will far exceed 60 million!
Qiu Fan couldn't stand it anymore, raised his hand and asked: "Ye Fan, I heard that Sony offered you 70 million to sign you, but you didn't agree?"
Hearing the number 70 million, the reporters became commotion again and looked at Ye Fan, preparing to hear his answer.
"To be precise, it's 75 million, about 5 albums."
Ye Fan had no intention of hiding anything for Sony, and he wasn’t planning on cooperating with them anyway to fuck XRB!
The reporters in the audience were shocked again by this figure, which was actually higher than the princess's signing fee.
This made most reporters understand that Warner was not using money to win over Ye Fan, and that Ye Fan himself was worth more than 60 million. This was obviously Ye Fan's concession.
This nature and meaning are different. In layman's terms, Warner is not marrying down, but marrying up.
"Then why did Mr. Ye not agree to Sony's offer and choose Warner instead? Is he looking down on our Japanese company?"
Hearing the Japanese reporter's question, Ye Fan smiled and said: "That's not true, I am still happy to cooperate with the Japanese company, but considering that my own influence is too great, for such a big thing, I still have to
Consider my position first, first of all I am a Chinese, and secondly I am a singer."
As soon as these words came out, reporters from China and the Philippines applauded one after another. As for reporters from Japan and some media from Hong Kong and Taiwan, their faces became a little ugly after hearing Ye Fan's words.
Seeing that the scene was a little off track, Zhou Jianhui quickly changed the topic and brought up another big deal.
"Since the three parties have reached a cooperation, Ye Fan's first Yin Film and Television soundtrack album after joining Warner will be released at the end of 1997 or early 1998. At that time, Warner will help Ye Fan's new album be released overseas. I believe it will have good results."
Domestic reporters were immediately stunned. In the third year since his debut, is Ye Fan finally going abroad and entering Asia?
Foreign reporters are also more concerned about this issue. After all, Ye Fan's songs are well-known in their countries and they have a fan base, but they are not very clear in China.
Especially for reporters from the Lion City, Chinese-language songs are still very popular in their country. Although the population of the Lion City is not large, Ye Fan has the largest fan base in their country.
As a result, reporters from all walks of life enthusiastically started asking questions, and Wang Jinghua handled them in an orderly manner, naming them one by one.
A reporter from "Lianhe Zaobao" asked: "It is understood that your two movies only have two songs. How many songs are there in the film and television soundtrack albums? Or are they all songs composed by you yourself?"
"It's still ten songs. There are two TV dramas in China. I wrote the theme song and the ending song respectively, and wrote 4 more songs. I made up ten songs. They are basically love songs. It can be regarded as an attempt to transform. After all, it can't be
Always sing inspirational songs, joining Warner is a new beginning."
Ye Fan had already thought of the words and took the initiative to reveal the love song. He explained it here together to avoid so many questions later.
When the reporters saw another big melon, they really wished they could write with both hands and record the news quickly.
"Ye Fan, why are you thinking about transitioning into love songs? Are you in love? Otherwise, how could you write ten love songs?"
"This is an idea that I have had for a long time. I will grow up too, and I have written so many novels, all of which contain love and love. In addition, actors have to take on the roles. Is it difficult to write love songs?"
Seeing Ye Fanfeng Qingyundan's expression, except for Xu Zhongmin, Zhang Xing, who knew Ye Fan better, all had expressions of pain on their faces. Is it difficult to write a love song? Is this human language?
Especially Xu Zhiwei and Zhou Jianhui, Ye Fan showed them the music scores of several songs, which shocked their jaws. They did not expect that Ye Fan also wrote a love song, and he had already written ten of them.
Moreover, when they learned that Ye Fan had written 4 more songs in order to put together an album, they were shocked beyond words. Based on the quality of these songs, Ye Fan was worth the 80 million signing fee.
However, some reporters saw that Ye Fan did not answer the key questions and were not ready to let him go. They continued to ask Ye Fan whether he was in love.
Ye Fandan said calmly: "You don't believe me when I say it? Since you don't believe it, why should I answer? I rely on my works to speak, not on scandals. I hope everyone will pay more attention to my works instead of
My scandal."
Other people on the podium also winked at themselves, asking them to ask questions to change the topic, and then suppressed the question.
When Ye Fan was asked about when the concert would be held, Ye Fan thought for a while and said, "I guess I won't have time to hold a concert until my junior year. I have a lot of study in my freshman and sophomore years."
This answer disappointed Warner and some foreign reporters. If Ye Fan was willing to hold a concert now, he would make a lot more money.
The press conference lasted for an hour and a half. Ye Fan's mouth was dry when he answered. He wanted to take a rest, but he was the protagonist of the press conference. How could Ye Fan hide?
After the press conference, Ye Fan entertained Warner executives in the evening and then went home to pack his things. Otherwise, after today's news spread, he would definitely have many people following him in Yanjing.
It's better to take advantage of the holiday and run out to avoid the limelight, and there is a cute little girl waiting for him on the Bashang grassland.
During this period, Hu Jing called him frequently. He said in and out of his words, "Where is my gift? I want to see you."
Since he couldn't stay in Yanjing during this period, Ye Fan happened to go to Inner Mongolia with gifts to avoid the limelight and meet Hu Jing in the name of a visiting team.
Ye Fan thought that Fan Xiaopang was there, and couldn't help but think of the scene where she and Li Ming were filming on a horse. If there was a chance, he wouldn't mind trying with Hu Jing to see if he could complete the high-level task of playing "poker" on horseback while riding a horse.
