Chapter 146： 1st pot of gold

A preliminary consensus has been reached, but it does not mean that Fremantle Media has compromised on this. Deborah-Johnson showed her shrewdness in the details of the distribution of benefits. Although she was in charge of the media, it was clear that the company had set the bottom line of the contract, so she would not give in an inch to talk to Gu Luo. North launched a fierce competition.

After three meetings, which lasted a week, Gu Luobei finally reached an agreement with Fremantle Media. The copyright of the talent show is shared by both parties, and there are 60% of the dividends generated by the show itself, and 40% of Fremantle and Gu Luobei.

The "Eleven Studio" owned by Gu Luobei enjoys the priority of signing contracts for the contestants. All players must sign a contract with the "Eleven Studio" when participating in the competition. After signing with other brokerage companies, they must pay the "Eleventh Studio". studio" liquidated damages.

And all the peripheral products that may occur in the talent show, the production rights are all handled by Fremantle Media. This part includes revenue from advertisements, sponsorships, concerts, etc. It can be said that it is a huge source of profit for talent shows other than copyrights. Although it needs to be divided up with TV stations, Fremantle Media is obviously taking advantage of it, so They were willing to make concessions in the program's own dividends, allowing Gu Luobei to take the lead.

After the agreement was settled, Fremantle Media immediately began preparations for the show.

Under the suggestion of Gu Luobei, Fremantle Media went to London with the plan, found the British ITV, and successfully persuaded the biggest competitor of C to buy the "pop idol" called "Pop Idol". rights to the first season of . Since the show has just come out, the copyright fee is not high, but the transaction price of the eight million British list is still very satisfactory to Gu Luobei and Fremantle Media.

Then, at the suggestion of Gu Luobei, he found Bertelsmann Records, which also belongs to the Bertelsmann Group, to hire Siméng-Cowell as a judge of "pop idols".

Gu Luobei knew very well that "pop idols", including "American Idols" in the future, would be successful. Siméng and Cowell's vicious tongue, outspoken and even vicious comments, as well as his unique vision, The sensitivity of musical talents is a crucial link for the success of this talent show. In the later period, the name West méng Cowell has become one of the irreplaceable signs of "American Idol". Therefore, it is impossible for Gu Luobei to give up this sign.

In terms of the details of the rules of "Pop Idol", Gu Luobei did not take out the mature rules of "American Idol" in later generations, but chose the rules of the first season of "American Idol", that is, the first season of "Pop Idol". simple rules.

The process of screening out ... 100 people from the audition crowd was all a cappella singing without musical accompaniment, and it was only broadcast on TV. After that, the screening of 100 to 50 people was also a cappella, but it was broadcast on TV one by one, and the contestants were interviewed one by one. The promotion from 50 to 10 added music, lighting and stage. The TV station broadcasted every second of the contestants' family background and daily life in detail. When the final ten is reached, it is the so-called final stage, and not only the full line of sound installations, but also thousands of real spectators. With the progress of the whole competition, the audience will become more and more aware of the players who are out of the line in each round, and of course they will become more and more concerned about them, and the participation in this show will also increase. Young people gradually extend to all ages and all classes.

The place where "Pop Idol" came out is still the UK, and the audition has been intensively prepared. The first audition is scheduled for the end of August and the program will be officially broadcast on Channel 3 of ITV in October.

Although it will take some time for the British charts brought by "pop idols" to Gu Luobei to arrive, the first pot of gold that Gu Luobei obtained through the commercialization of digital music has arrived this week. With the income from singles, movies, etc. still unpaid, Gu Luobei's hard-pressed independent musician's life can finally make some changes. The $480,000 is enough to solve some recent problems.

For example, the MV of "Just a Dream" dragged the funds.

As the results of "It's Just a Dream" got better and better, the voices of singers calling for the MV to shoot became louder and louder. I heard Sean Mayer say that the Yahoo community has a message about shooting the MV for "It's Just a Dream" The proposal has been supported by more than 50,000 people. On the Eleven Music Blog, comments calling for MV also occupied the line of sight. Even more exaggerated, Sean-Mayer also received inquiries from TV stations including T about whether to shoot MVs, mainly because they wanted to recommend the song "Just a Dream" in professional music programs, but lacked the ability to The video broadcast by the gods made the TV station quite embarrassed.

Not only was "Just a Dream" when "Broad Seas and Sky" won his song Billboard Singles Chart for Gu Luobei, the topic of "Broad Seas and Sky" and even the "final" request to shoot the MV was also flying around.

MV, music video, is not only the video data of a song, but also a means of publicity, and the goal of song mí collection. An MV of excellent quality can make God into a well-made short film: an excellent MV director also has the potential to become a director. There are many famous directors in Hollywood who were born as MV directors.

I didn't shoot the MV before, first of all, because of financial constraints, and then because Gu Luobei didn't have time. Now that both are available, shooting the MV is naturally on the agenda.

However, before discussing the shooting of the MV, Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell have more important things to do. July 1 is the fortieth birthday of the Bell brothers' mother, Catherine Bell. Although for women, birthdays after the age of 30 are no longer important, because age has become their charm. But for the Bell brothers, this is an important day that cannot be ignored.

Gu Luobei earned his first pot of gold through his cooperation with Apple: to be precise, Gu Luobei's first pot of gold was the $60 he earned from Broadway on his ninth birthday, but this time he got it. The $480,000 was a large sum of money, enough to initially improve the Bell family.

This "first pot of gold" came just in time, just in time to create a **** to celebrate Catherine Bell's birthday.

In the early morning of July 1st, Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell got up. Teddy Bell went downstairs to close the eleven dry cleaners and announced that they would be closed for one day, while Gu Luobei was busy in the kitchen. Come.

Standing in the kitchen, beating eggs, frying eggs, toasting toast, cutting lettuce and mixing salad, Gu Luobei was busy with his hands and feet. Don't say that the poor's children in this life are early masters, Gu Luobei has already learned to do it himself when he was very young: Gu Luobei was also a kitchen expert in his previous life: everything was for her, just to see her eat delicious food With a satisfied smile, he spent a lot of time in the kitchen.

However, that is all in the past. In this lifetime, only Catherine Bell and Teddy Bell have eaten food made by Gu Luobei, and even Anne Hathaway, a childhood sweetheart, has never seen Gu Luobei cook, only has heard of it. .

Duodong's habit made Catherine Belle not have the habit of sleeping in at all, and woke up automatically at the time. Although she knew that her eldest son was in charge of visiting the store this morning, there was no need to get up early, but at eight o'clock, Katherine Bell still woke up. chuáng.

I sat on the edge of the chuáng for a minute or two and looked at the sunlight outside the window. Today's weather is very good, and the splendor of early summer has quietly come to my side. It was an ordinary day. Looking at the clear blue sky outside, Catherine Bell couldn't help but think "it's a good day to go shopping", but this idea quickly disappeared because there was no time to go shopping. When was the last time you went shopping? Catherine Bell thought about it, it should be Christmas last year.

This topic is not sad for Catherine Bell. Her grief ran out early in London because she didn't have time to grieve, and instead of crying there, it was better to cheer up and do more. After all these years, looking back at the past, Catherine Bell is not sad at all, but will smile brightly, because the hardest things have passed, and everything is moving forward on the right track.

Katherine Bell patted her cheek. She didn't know what happened today, but she suddenly became emotional. After getting up from the bed, Catherine Bell directly changed into simple home clothes, stretched, and regained her energy. While tying up her hair, she opened the door of the room and walked out.

As soon as the door was opened, she saw two sons standing at the door, which made Catherine Bell pause. He raised his head and looked all the way up, his eyes were suddenly occupied by two rare things, one holding a bouquet of roses and the other holding a small cake.

"Happy birthday!" Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell shouted together with smiles all over their faces.

This sentence made Catherine Bell suddenly raise her eyes and see the bright smiles on the faces of her two sons. But she didn't speak, she was obviously frightened and didn't react at all.

All the drowsiness in those bright eyes had faded, and she was filled with surprise. She completely forgot what day it was today. The oppression of life made her focus all her energy on being busy. It was only at this moment that she remembered Wake up, I turned 40 today.

"Dear Catherine, I wish you a happy birthday. We love you." Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell said together, but the two brothers didn't seem to grasp the rhythm. Teddy Bell was a little faster, but it was uneven The sound, but it seems like the most beautiful melody in the world, circulating in the room.

Catherine Bell tried to say something, but found that her throat was blocked and she couldn't say anything. Zhang Xuan Zhang Xuan, but felt a sour nose, and his eyes suddenly became wet.

First update today. Thank you for your support, hehe, there is a big explosion today! @.
