Chapter 1148: The Market
Just like the Japanese songs that wrote those slam dunks back then, if he took out "despacito", Sun Peng knew that it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
After all, the style is too unique, and the lyrics are too appropriate.
What does it matter, though?
In this life, I plan to come up with such a song in Spanish, and then I will keep silent about the origin of this song, does anyone dare to force Sun Peng to talk about this topic? The only thing Sun Peng needs to worry about is ......
Ahem, it's the lyrics of "Despacito"!
"This little yellow song is written, my brother will definitely be criticized!"
Thinking that after the new album came out in the future, there would definitely be many sunspots scolding him for teaching bad children, Sun Peng was a little depressed, and then decided to tell Althea Records that this song must be Luo Cheng and the Latin king Ricky? KAMAZ worked together, and the MV had to be filmed in Puerto Rico!
Why?
Look at the lyrics, there's Puerto Rico in it!
Although not the most famous Latin king, but Ricky? Kamaz is Puerto Rican, and he is also in the top five Latin male singers, at least if he cooperates with Luo Cheng.
And then......
"Alas, my mouth is cool for a while, but I am busy breaking my bowels afterwards!"
After sending away Luo Cheng, who was entangled, Sun Peng also had a headache. He knows that the market for Spanish songs is very large, and Luo Cheng is of course willing to try it if it is possible, anyway, it is just a song, and it doesn't take much effort, but for Sun Peng, it doesn't take much time to pick up the song or a lot, but what about the lyrics?
It's easy to pick up English lyrics, but what about Spanish?
Thinking of the last time he picked up those Japanese songs, Sun Peng regretted it a little again. Not only is it a hassle, but the key is to find a translator who is proficient in Spanish to help. You must know that the original Spanish version of Sun Peng himself can only barely be repeated. And in order to make the other party not suspicious, it is necessary to go through the process of writing Chinese characters, asking the other party to translate, and then using rhyme and other reasons to let him get closer to the original lyrics little by little......
……
“…… That's it, the old watch is very persistent! ”
With his hands spread, Luo Cheng said with some distress: "That kid doesn't know what's going on today, he suddenly remembered to write a song in Spanish, and it's okay to say that there is only one song...... Why is it okay? I don't know any Spanish, how can I do it? ”
"Tsk, in Spanish?"
After listening to Luo Cheng, his producer rubbed his chin and groaned.
Looking at his producer's expression, Luo Cheng suddenly felt bad: "Hey, Lao Chen, don't you think this idea is reliable, right?" ”
"Hehe, why isn't it reliable?"
Raising his eyebrows, Lao Chen smiled: "Although you are now full of fans all over the world, and English songs are also absolutely mainstream, there are five or six hundred million Spanish speakers, which is quite a large group of people!" Besides, as Lao Bai said, it's just a song...... Won't it take a few days to learn? ”
"Uh......"
Looking at Luo Cheng's appearance, Lao Chen laughed and said, "You, you have a high status now, so this shelf is bigger...... Needless to say, you and Chen Tianhou learned English, think about it yourself, is Spanish as difficult as our language? Look at how many Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian singers have learned and sung Chinese songs in order to please Chinese fans? ”
For the world's largest music market, there are more singers who are desperate.
Especially in recent years, Korean and Japanese singers, who are more famous, or more popular in China, which one is not desperate to learn Chinese? Don't talk about singing in Chinese, even when you come to China to make money, if you can't give a simple interview in Chinese, you'll be embarrassed to hold a press conference!
This is true for foreign singers, and the same is true for Chinese singers.
In order to let their songs go out, have Chinese singers done less of this kind of thing over the years?
Not only English, Japanese, Korean, but also some Southeast Asian languages are essential skills for many singers. Even if you don't have the level of proficiency, you can still answer some simple questions, let alone sing in those languages.
You've counted the world, so singers whose native English language doesn't have to work so hard.
There is no way, English-speaking countries are still the current cultural mainstream, and even if China's influence rises rapidly, it is still not time to overthrow them. So even in China, the market for English songs is not small, not to mention other more vulnerable markets.
So......
"Alas! That's all there is to it? ”
Yang Tian sighed, Luo Cheng shook his head bitterly and said, "Okay, then I'll find a Spanish teacher to learn first...... Alas, people who are dozens of years old still think that it is enough to pass the English test...... By the way, Lao Chen, Lao Bai said that it was best to find a singer to sing this song together, and he recommended Ricky? KAMAZ. I met that buddy on the Grammys, and he was a good talker. ”
After thinking for a while, Lao Chen nodded and said, "Ricky? KAMAZ? Enough coffee slots! This should be fine, I'll coordinate it later, and let them get Ricky as soon as possible? KAMAZ Contact ...... Hehe, let's not say that you are now in the middle of the day, you have long been the most anticipated singer this year, just saying that the songwriter is laobai, I believe the other party will definitely not refuse......"
……
"Of course, of course I won't refuse!"
When Ricky? When Kamath's agent conveyed to him an invitation from Huaxia, the Latin king nodded without hesitation: "Laobai's new song, and it's still working with Huaxia Luo, why refuse?" Am I an idiot? ”
After hesitating for a moment, his agent frowned and said, "We haven't gotten the score for that song yet, and we don't even know what genre he belongs to!" ”
"Huh? Does this relevant? ”
Licked his slightly dry lips, Ricky? Kamath asked disappreciatively.
"But ......"
Looking at Ricky? Kamath looked disapproving, and the agent frowned and said, "What if the other party just asked you to play a supporting role?" The whole song is just a few words, and more often than not, if you are a foil next to you, will you still agree? ”
"No way, they won't do that!"
With a wave of his hand, Ricky? Kamath shook his head and said: "I've met Luo, he is a very typical Chinese person, humble, and respectful of others, so this song is at most a little heavier than him...... Of course, none of that matters, Harry, don't you see the benefits behind this partnership as an agent? ”
The agent was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "The benefits behind it?" You mean the market in China? ”
"Of course, that's the best part!"
Grinning, Ricky? Kamath bared a mouthful of white teeth: "Puerto Rico is too small, even if you add the whole of South America, it is too small, so I came to the United States to develop." But in that country on the other side of the ocean, the market is twice as big as if it hadn't come......"
