Chapter 678 Limited Group Copyright Storm(1/2)
Time has entered March.
The limited group talent show variety show produced by Chaoyin Culture has started recording, and among the contestants participating in the show this time, five are members of Fluorescent Girls.
Fluorescent Girl's contracts all expired last year.
Before the contract expired, Chaoyin Culture began to contact the more popular members of Fluorescent Girls.
Chaoyin Culture offered a very attractive contract, and even promised a limited number of group seats, which was written into the contract.
Popular members including Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian were persuaded by Chaoyin Culture to participate in this limited group audition called "Chasing Star Light".
Last year, before the contract expired, Fang Xing and Tong Fei had a meeting with these people.
Fang Xing could tell from their expressions that they did not want to renew the contract and had been persuaded by Chaoyin Culture.
Later, Tong Fei inquired from the side and found out that Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian had signed a limited group agreement with Chaoyin Culture at that time.
actually.
If Fang Xing and Tong Fei had been more ruthless at that time, they could have used the fact that the contract had not expired to make a fuss.
However, Fang Xing always felt that the company and the artists were actually in a cooperative relationship, and it was better to get together and part ways easily.
Moreover, there was no big vocal in the group Fluorescent Girls in the end.
In Sky Girls, at least there is Shen Xiyin who is better at singing.
Although Fang Xing has always arranged vocal lessons for the girl group Fluorescent Girls, they really haven’t released a big vocal.
Therefore, after Fluorescent Girls held their farewell concert, they were disbanded.
…
Fluorescent Girls disbanded, and Guanghuang Entertainment implemented Fang Xing's wishes. They did not slander the members, but only tried to pull things off with them, doing whatever they wanted.
Therefore, there are no rumors of conflict between the company and the girl group members.
However, there were some conflicts among the members.
After all, out of the nine fluorescent girls, Chaoyin Culture poached five to participate in "Light Chasing the Stars".
In addition, during the existence of the group, there are differences in popularity and resources, and small groups are formed within the group. Only after the group disbands does anyone dare to express dissatisfaction.
Overall, Fluorescent Girl has a beginning and an end.
Tong Fei also issued an announcement at the end, wishing the members a better future.
…
Now Chaoyin Culture's "Chasing Star Light" has begun recording, and the contestants invited for this program are all idols who have been popular or are currently popular.
Therefore, when preparations for the show began, it was already very popular.
Now that the recording has started, various behind-the-scenes of the program are coming out.
At the beginning, it was still spread among fans, and gradually began to spread to the entire Internet. As soon as the program started recording, it continued to be trending.
Chaoyin Culture started marketing and hyping various news.
One of the hot spots is naturally the gossip topics of the five fluorescent girl members including Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, and Guangguang Entertainment.
Various entertainment self-media began to issue press releases and hype the topic.
[The Fluorescent Girl comes to an end and Star Chaser sets sail. Is there any problem with the operation of Guangguang Entertainment? 】
[Members of Fluorescent Girl broke the news that Fang Xingjiang was exhausted and could not come up with songs that would sustain the popularity of the girl group, which led to the disbandment of the group. 】
[The fluorescent girl thanks her mentor Fang Xing. Why did the once-smashing girl group disband? 】
[Fang Xing did not release a song for the fluorescent girl for four years, which eventually led to the fluorescent girl going their separate ways.]
[Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian still want to participate in "Chasing the Stars" even if they give up on renewing their contracts. Why has Guangguang Entertainment lost its appeal? 】
When "Persian Cat" became a street song, the popularity of fluorescent girls was once the ceiling of domestic girl groups, and the song was very popular.
Back then, Guangguang Entertainment was the company that all idol groups aspired to.
but.
As Fang Xing focused on TV dramas, he then took a two-year break to get married and have children. After returning, he began to make movies and produce animated movies.
Due to the change in work focus, Fang Xing did not have much energy to focus on the management of the girl group, and he released fewer songs.
It's not that Guangguang Entertainment has never released songs for fluorescent girls. They produce new songs every year, but there are no songs that can break into the industry.
As Fluorescent Girl's contract is about to expire and her resources are dwindling, her popularity naturally plummets.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others are unwilling to renew their contracts.
They once stood on the highest stage and were the envy of all idol groups. Later, their popularity declined, creating a huge gap.
At this time, Chaoyin Culture stepped in and offered a group contract.
Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian finally chose not to renew their contracts and signed with Chaoyin Culture to participate in "Chasing Star Light".
After all kinds of news were hyped, it caused a big sensation in the fan circle.
Because some of these gossips pointed out that Fang Xing had not released a single song for the fluorescent girl for four years.
Fans began to complain that Fang Xing treated his idol harshly and wasted four years of his youth because Zhou Xueyan and others were not worth it.
This piece of gossip news, if you insist on saying it, actually makes sense.
Because Fang Xing took a two-year break to get married and have a baby, and before taking a break, he filmed "Mountains and Seas", and after returning, he filmed "Crazy Stone".
All things considered, it's been four years since I personally produced a song for Fluorescent Girl.
But the problem is that Fluorescent Girl has not released any songs in the past four years. There are new songs every year, but the producer is not Fang Xing, but Guangguang Entertainment hired another music producer to customize them.
The song was released but not popular. There are many reasons for this.
Even the most popular idol group dare not say that every song is a hit.
Multiple reasons came together, and the result was the gossip that Fang Xing treated the fluorescent girl harshly, causing the fluorescent girl's popularity to decline, and members such as Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian to be forced to leave.
As soon as this gossip came out, fans all pointed their fingers at Fang Xing.
Fans of Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others began to feel sorry for their idols while they were trolling Fang Xing.
After the first episode of "Chasing the Stars" aired, they started betting like crazy, pushing the popularity of the two people to the first and second positions on the popularity list.
…
After this kind of news passed through several hands, it finally reached Fang Xing's ears.
However, Fang Xing always ignored such gossip news.
Moreover, Fang Xing was sprayed all the way along the way, so he didn't care at all.
However, the gossip news hyped by self-media is becoming more and more excessive.
[After Fluorescent Girls disbanded, Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian were no longer allowed to sing classic songs such as "Persian Cat".]
[Fang Xing’s hegemony? Fluorescent girls sing fire songs, and members are not qualified to sing. 】
This topic became a hot topic, and fans became even more explosive. They went out everywhere to crusade against Fang Xing's hegemony.
According to the contract, the copyright of "Persian Cat" belongs to Ark Culture.
Artists from other companies who want to sing this song need to contact Ark Culture’s copyright department to purchase the right to use it before they can sing it.
This song is indeed the most popular song of Fluorescent Girl, but Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian have already signed with Chaoyin Culture to participate in the recording of "Chasing Star Light".
Not surprisingly, Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others will eventually form the limited group Star Chasing Girls.
This group belongs to Chaoyin culture.
Therefore, if we follow the contract, Chaoyin Culture needs to negotiate the song copyright with Ark Culture’s copyright department.
There is nothing wrong with this matter in itself.
However, in the eyes of fans, it became Fang Xing suppressing Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, and they could no longer even sing their popular songs.
…
So much so.
When Fang Xing attended the screening of the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World", he was questioned by reporters.
Reporter: "Fang Xing, there are rumors that you banned Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian from singing "Persian Cat". Is this true?"
Fang Xing: "Song copyright is managed by the copyright department of the company. I never ask questions. Anyone with a little more professional knowledge will not ask such questions."
This is indeed the case, but fans don't care.
Reporter: "Are you sure there is no ban? It is rumored that Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian did not sing the previous group song on the first stage of "Chasing Star Light". Did you lie?"
Fang Xing: "Do I need to lie about such a trivial matter?"
Reporter: "Is it possible that the copyright department of your company understood your idea and banned Zhou Xueyan and other former members of Fluorescent Girls from singing previous group songs?"
Fang Xing: "I have not received any information about this."
Reporter: "In other words, you are not sure, so there is a possibility that your company's copyright department will ban the song, right?"
