Hollywood Hunter
The financial year of 1997 just ended in September. Early October is the busiest time for Denise entertainment. It is not only the annual financial report to be released at the end of the middle of the year, but also various business departments of the group are making various financial year summaries, accompanied by various meetings with a tight schedule.
Simon personally presided over the meeting of the recording Department today, and Amy Pascal was also present. In addition, Richard Palmes, CEO of danielis records group, and Barry Weiss, President of infinite records, who focuses on cultivating teen pop singers, were also among the top executives.
As danilisi entertainment is on the verge of a bottleneck in its film and television business, Simon has attached great importance to the group's music, games and other businesses in recent years. However, even though dannilis records has top stars of gun rose, backstreet boy, Cher and other types, the original sound business of film and television is also thriving because of dannilis Entertainment's strength in related aspects. In the past two years, it has developed the phenomenal "American Idol" to quickly deliver fresh blood to the recording department. However, under the impact of the Internet, the traditional recording industry is declining However, there is no way to stop the depression.
Compared with the die hards in the industry such as Sony records, even if Denise records is one of the most enthusiastic companies to embrace the Internet, its growth has slowed down sharply in recent years.
Fortunately, compared with some old record giants, such as Sony, EMI, and polaroid, whose performance has negative growth or even fallen into loss, danilisi records, which is still able to maintain positive growth, has performed well in the industry.
The relatively excellent performance of danielis records after actively embracing the Internet has also made many old record giants who hate the Internet gradually compromise. Even Sony, while promoting its own digital music player, has to gradually deliver content resources to tincobail's broadcast music mall.
After all, if we do not do so, we will only let the pirated resources of the corresponding content completely occupy the market.
It's the same reason that Simon didn't allow any doubt within the group to force Denise records to embrace the Internet.
Make a template for everyone to follow.
The content of today's meeting has nothing to do with the Internet. Apart from the revenue and profit situation of the record department in the past year, there are also changes in the overall strategy of the record department.
A simple word: fast food.
With the advent of the Internet era and the information explosion, it will be more and more difficult for people to pay attention to some people and things for a long time.
The same is true of the music industry.
Therefore, what danielis records group has to do is to speed up the creation and iteration of its singers.
In fact, in recent years, Denise records has had such a trend. A typical example is the stars created by "American Idol". This year's third edition has just started, and many of the top singers in the first edition have been forgotten.
Like the Internet, since the trend is inevitable, take the initiative to adapt.
In addition, the traditional record industry has undergone dramatic changes under the impact of the Internet, and it has also begun to affect the consumption habits of the public. Even if the audience of the western music industry is the same as that of the film, it can be regarded as a whole age group, but in the future, just like that of the film, the core consumer groups will be more and more concentrated on the young people.
These all need to be adjusted.
Then, the last topic of this conference: expansion.
This is not to say the expansion of regional nature. Denise records has successfully extended its tentacles to major mainstream music markets in Europe, Asia and even Latin America in recent years. Therefore, this expansion is mainly a merger and acquisition.
The goal is not only the singer, but also the content.
Under the strict copyright protection system, the million level music content accumulated by the major Western record giants for decades or even hundreds of years, even after many years, is equally precious.
Denise records is the biggest weakness in this respect.
Compared with Sony, EMI and other established giants with millions of music content, even if they annexed universal records at the beginning, they have developed rapidly in recent years, but the inside information is still shallow. Because the original universal records, carefully speaking, can only be ranked in the last position of large record giants. Universal, which once juxtaposed with Sony, Warner and other old record giants, is actually the result of the massive expansion and merger in the sigram era in the late 1990s.
This time, sigram, who controls paramount, is no longer global. Because of the change of Hollywood pattern, it's still a little hard to digest paramount. It's hard to conquer the city in the recording industry as it used to be. Danelis entertainment just makes up for it.
The first goal is the same as sigram used to be: Polaroid.
Baolijin group, an old record giant headquartered in London, is also a large record giant after a long period of merger and integration. In fact, if it were not for Simon, baolijin would have been popular in the film and television circles in the 1990s by successfully excavating the temporary famous film industry team that produced "Four Weddings and a funeral", "Notting Hill" and other blockbuster films The water rises.
Unfortunately, everything has changed now.
Simon won the team core of the temporary famous film industry in advance. Coupled with the rapid impact of the Internet era on the recording industry, the current life of polaroid is becoming more and more difficult.Next, the Asian financial crisis will spread to the world, and the global economy will have a short-term trough. The rapid downward trend of the record industry will inevitably worsen, which is the best time for Denise entertainment.
The meeting lasted all morning.
concluded the meeting and left the meeting room together, because the office of the recording department was not easy to meet at Universal Studios on Burbank. This time, a simple meal was arranged.
In a management restaurant in the district.
Self service lunch is convenient for everyone to walk around and communicate. Simon and danielis record Group CEO Richard Palmes talked about the details of the planned acquisition of Polaroid, and then found Barry Weiss.
Barry Weiss, the teenage pop godfather who once built Britney Spears, backstreet boys and other top ten pop stars in the 1990s, has also made outstanding achievements after Simon dug them into danielis records. He not only dug out backstreet boys under Simon's guidance once again, but also launched some other very popular teenagers in recent years Pop singer in 2000.
Barry Weiss's next focus is to promote a group of young boys and girls, including Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, who Simon received from the Mickey Mouse Club dissolved by Disney a few years ago.
This time it's not Britney Spears and others.
At the beginning, it was just the memory of the previous life that attracted these little guys.
With the constant change of wealth, status, status and mentality, Simon is more and more indifferent to many celebrities in his memory.
Simon and Barry Weiss discussed the topic of fast food: "Barry, at the meeting just now, we didn't have time to discuss it in detail. It's a key problem. What do you think is the most difficult point of fast food?"
"That's right," Simon nodded with a smile. "What do you think you should do?"
Barry Weiss is honest: "Simon, within the reasonable cost range, frankly, I don't have the answer. However, with the media resources of danielis entertainment, we have to say that we are now the easiest company to package and promote singers. "
"But the problem has not been fundamentally solved."
"Yes," Barry Weiss nodded and looked at his boss. "Simon, you must have the answer, right?"
"I made a singing group in Ukraine, you should know?"
"Well, in the first half of the year, they also performed some performances in Atlantic City. The planning we helped with had a good response. However, because they have no English songs for the time being, their influence is limited. Oh, Simon, I can help them make an English album if you like
Simon said with a smile, "there's no need. Their style is too formal. I mean, do you have any inspiration when you think about the Saint Mary's group?"
Barry Weiss thought, a little uncertain, and a little enlightened: "Simon, you mean, group mode?"
It doesn't seem new.
"To be exact, it's a uniform group pattern," Simon said, adding: "imagine a row of girls with beautiful faces, slim waists, and slender thighs on the stage standing in a uniform way. What's the effect?"
Barry Weiss thought about it for a moment, but he couldn't help saying: "Simon, in this way, a single singer will be more difficult to remember, isn't it too fast-food?"
"Try one first," Simon said. "I just had an idea some time ago. It's called hot girls group. I want to find five girls with similar image and temperament. The most important thing is the same height. It looks more uniform, but it can't be without difference. Every girl has her own style code, such as fashion hot girls, sports hot girls, crazy hot girls and so on You choose first, and then I'll give you a single. It's a test. "
Seriously speaking, Simon's "some time ago" is months ago.
In the first half of the year, when I went to England, I found that the spice girls were lost by butterflies just like the Harry Potter series, so I kept it in mind, and then I forgot it.
The main reason is that I didn't feel it.
Although the hot girl group was popular all over the world in the 1990s, and it also triggered a wave of women's group following suit all over the world, it's hard to say a word about those girls from Simon's later aesthetics.
In contrast, Simon thinks that the model of Korean women's League is more mature.
And the reason why it is mature is not only the systematic trainee system in South Korea, but also, yes, uniform.
Even if it is launched one after another, it is easy to attract more public attention in the shortest time. Later, no matter in Europe and America or in Japan and Taiwan, the mode of singing combination gradually declined. Only in South Korea has been prosperous and has been exporting to the outside world. Although there are many reasons, the uniformity that can attract the audience's attention in the shortest time is absolutely a key.As a result, since he was not interested in the colorful style of the former Spice Girls, Simon simply revised it to a more aesthetic model of women's League.
As for whether it can succeed or not?
Simon gives the following ideas of the team in many aspects, which have been proved before. The success rate is much higher than that of the original. Moreover, even if it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter. The current strength of danielis entertainment has enough room for trial and error.
Barry Weiss thought it was basically appropriate after hearing his boss say that he would take out a single in person.
Over the years, the number of singles that my boss has brought out is not much, and absolutely not much. Every capital is the kind that can hold up a record.
Making up his mind, Barry Weiss said: "Simon, if I choose a combination, it will take me about three months. With training and production of MV, it will be a good time to test the water next Easter."
Simon didn't want Barry Weiss to rush, nodding, "no problem."
It's settled. Barry Weiss immediately changed his smile: "Simon, can you take out the single you said first? Oh, the two single you gave to Bree and Tina recently are great. I'm looking forward to every piece of music by my boss."
Simon laughed and said, "I'll make time for you."
Barry Weiss nodded again and said, "by the way, boss, Bree and Tina, do you have anything special to say?"
Today is October 9, Thursday.
Simon returned from Mexico on Monday, and then he took out two famous works by Britney Spears and Christina for Barry Weiss to operate. Barry Weiss is not stupid. With a little inquiry, he can understand something and pay more attention to the two girls.
Simon shrugged: "no, just let them follow the rules."
Barry Weiss said no more.
However, of course, it's impossible to follow the rules. What the boss says is one thing. Some words should be executed as they are, and others, if they do, have no Eq.
After lunch, music executives returned to Burbank one after another.
Barry Weiss Universal Studios back to Burbank, once again combed the morning's meeting content, and resolutely arranged the forenoon girl's composition, so busy until soon after work, this time only to catch up with the music department's practice room.
Once upon a time, the boys and girls of Mickey Mouse Club were trained here, and they are about to make their debut. Recently, the boys and girls are even more diligent in training.
Barry Weiss stood at the door of a special training room for girls and looked at Christina and Britney Spears who were practicing dancing for a while. Christina was OK. Britney Spears seemed to be a little sick, which made Barry Weiss confused and even nervous. He invited the dance teacher with good physique and asked, "Lisa, what's the matter with Bree?"
Lisa, the dance teacher, also shook her head: "I don't know, Mr. Weiss. Britney has been like this these two days. She seems to be sick. I asked, she said nothing, also let the doctor check, neither cold nor fever, I think, probably at night did not rest well
