Chapter 461 God Creates Apple

China Star Capital, Mango TV Headquarters, Senior Conference Hall.

Music director Tao Hong has been very busy recently. He is planning a very interesting singing entertainment program.

This is also his strong point

In the past few years, he has produced several singing competition programs for Mango TV that have received huge ratings.

But this time it is obviously different, because the participants of this program will no longer be ordinary people, but famous singers.

Just imagine how interesting it would be when a group of famous singers compete with each other on the stage.

He even thought of a name for the show, I Am a Singer

The entire TV station is full of anticipation and high hopes for this program.

But for some reason, early this morning, as soon as he arrived at the headquarters, someone notified him to attend a meeting.

What's going on?

Could it be related to this singing competition show?

Standing outside the door of the senior conference room, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but he finally knocked on the door.

"Come in"

Tao Hong opened the door and walked in. As soon as he took the first step, he was stunned.

It turned out that in addition to a few department managers, the three giants of Mango TV were all present in the senior conference room.

What is going on?

Can they actually mobilize the three giants?

It seems that the matter must be quite serious.

"Xiao Tao, you're here. Come and sit down. Everyone is waiting for you." The director pointed to the empty seat next to him.

"Oh, thank you, Master."

Tao Hong could only suppress his confusion, walked to the designated seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the master stood up and spoke.

"Today I received a call from my good friend, Mr. Ping An, who is also a famous music producer in China. He told me that Tencent, a famous Internet company in China, decided to spend more than 10 million to buy the exclusive online copyright of the third-generation divine song Little Apple M, which has been very popular on the foreign Internet in recent days."

As soon as the master said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"More than 10 million?"

"Is this true? How do they make money?"

"Yeah, there aren't many paying viewers for online videos right now, so aren't they just losing money to gain publicity?"

"No, I heard that recently online video companies have been studying how to cultivate paying viewers, such as a model where the service is charged first and then free, and Tencent Video is one of the most enthusiastic pioneers. Obtaining more copyrights is undoubtedly the best way to attract users."

"That's true, but over 10 million to buy an M that's over three minutes long? Isn't that too much?"

"Yeah, where can you find such an outrageous price?"

"Everyone should know that this is the third generation of Psy and Lim Yoona's hit song M. The first and second generation hit songs M set off major domestic video websites and are still far ahead and ranked first."

"I heard that the American YouTube website also spent a huge amount of money to buy the copyright. This time, Divine Comedy M is a little different. It is more than ten minutes long and is very well made. The special effects were also produced by the top special effects company in Hollywood."

"Really? Is that still an M?"

"Who knows?"

"Needless to say, it must have been done by Master Huan. Only he would do such a thing."

"It's not just YouTube, the American Fox Company also spent a very high price to buy the TV rights to this film M."

"Oh my god, can an M be so popular?"

"They are so famous now. Just for the signboard of the divine song, they are a golden money-printing machine. Many music playback websites and software in China are fighting for the authorization, and the prices are getting higher and higher."

"Oh, I didn't expect that music could be done this way?"

"Who says it's not?"

"They have released hit songs for two consecutive years. They have much more experience in this area than we do."

In the conference hall, everyone was talking at the same time, and suddenly there was a lot of noise.

Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a vegetable market, the slightly plump director immediately coughed loudly.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

In an instant, the conference hall fell silent.

"I called you here today to hear your opinions. Ping An is an old friend of mine. You have all heard this song. Some people say it is vulgar, but this has not stopped it from sweeping the world in just a few days. Even Chinese aunties are eager to use it for square dancing."

Ping An has cooperated with Mango TV for many years, and many people present had followed Ping An’s WeChat before.

This guy went to Miami, USA to watch a football game a few days ago just to hear this song first.

What’s interesting is that he posted a photo of him and the world-renowned vocal master Seth Riggs on his WeChat Moments, and also relayed Seth Riggs’ high praise for the song.

This undoubtedly provides the strongest and most powerful guarantee for the quality of the third generation of Divine Comedy.

There was even a situation where before the song was authorized to be released in China, countless netizens jumped over the firewall to go to the American website to download it, and then played a time difference in China, which once became a magical tool for netizens to install pens.

This shows how popular this song is.

"I have received news that many domestic TV stations have already taken action and are preparing to acquire the TV rights to the song M. What I mean is that we should also try our best to fight for it."

As soon as the director finished speaking, the deputy director sitting next to him frowned.

"Just for M's broadcast rights? That's a short film of more than ten minutes."

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was not worth it to pay such a high price for a short film of more than ten minutes.

The station director was obviously well prepared. "My idea is, aren't we planning to produce a singing competition program? Why not make a program around the divine song first, including inviting Psy and Yoona to participate in our TV station's program, and even serve as the performing guests of our singing competition program."

When everyone heard this, they all thought it made sense.

It would be more cost-effective to buy the copyright and launch a series of collaborations.

"Also, Miracle Media has acquired Infront and ING successively. They have the agency rights for many American singers and entertainment stars. They are more experienced and have more advantages than us in many aspects. The copyright operation of the third-generation divine song and the popularity of the International Champions Cup show the strength of this company."

Everyone nodded again.

Over the past half month or so, domestic newspapers have been almost bombarded with words like Psy, Yoona, divine song, and International Champions Cup.

"I want to take advantage of this opportunity to work with them and strive to run the program "I Am a Singer" in an international direction."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood why the director had specially convened this high-level meeting.

If you really want to buy the copyright of M, there is no need to make a fuss.

It turns out that this is planning to cooperate with Miracle Media.

Everyone knows that the person behind Miracle Media is Young Master Yang Huanhuan.

Seeing that many people nodded, the director was very satisfied and looked at Tao Hong who had been silent.

"Xiao Tao, what do you think?"

Tao Hong thought for a moment, "I've heard that song. It's a conscientious work. Teacher Ping An is right. It has a bigger investment and is more sophisticatedly produced. It's worth learning from by countless domestic record companies. It also makes us deeply feel the gap between domestic music production and the top foreign teams. It's a wake-up call for us."

“Well said,” the Master praised.

"Director, how did the photo shoot of M go?" Tao Hong asked with concern.

A good blacksmith must have strong tools. If NV shoots the movie badly, it probably won't attract the interest of netizens.

The director waved his hand, and the assistant next to him immediately turned off the lights in the conference room and the projector lit up the screen.

Amidst everyone's great anticipation, M finally began.

At the beginning, a line of words slowly appeared, very much like in a movie.

"Legend has it that God created three apples..."

"The first apple made us understand the world..."

When everyone saw this, they all knew that it was talking about the apple that hit Newton on the head.

"The second apple, let us change the world better..."

In the picture, the logo of Apple Inc. flashed by.

Everyone who saw this couldn't help but smile.

Isn’t this product placement too much?

But at this moment...

"The third apple created our world..."

A chubby woman with long hair appeared in the picture. She acted cute in front of the camera in a very funny way and asked coquettishly, "Am I beautiful?"

With a chuckle, there was a burst of laughter in the conference hall, and it seemed that someone wanted to vomit.

Damn, when you want to play a trick on someone, can you let me know in advance? Fortunately, I didn't have breakfast in the morning.

It turns out that the fat woman that appeared on the screen was Psy.

How did you cross-dress as a woman?

Then, a scream came from M

This is exactly what the audience wants.

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help laughing again.

The scene immediately switched to the Garden of Eden, where Adam, played by Yoona, and Eve, played by Psy, were on the beach, dancing a simple but interesting apple dance with animals of all sizes.

The whole picture is indescribably harmonious and beautiful.

Suddenly, an apple appeared on the screen.

A snake tempted Eve to take a bite of the apple, and then the bell of the Holy Spirit rang, indicating that God would severely punish Eve for breaking the ban. Adam begged Eve, snatched the apple from Eve, took a bite, and decided to accompany Eve in times of trouble.

In the end, both of them were punished by God and expelled from the Garden of Eden, and the first chapter came to an abrupt end.

In the second part, the mermaid princess played by Psy appears, living happily with the handsome prince played by Yoona.

As a result, the evil witch used a cursed apple to reveal the mermaid's true form and forced her to jump into the sea.

The prince was devastated by the loss of his beloved and was inexplicably heartbroken. He picked up the cursed apple, took a bite of it, turned into a fish, and plunged into the sea to find his beloved.

In the third chapter, during the Anti-Japanese War, in order to resist the crazy massacre of the Japanese invaders, the man played by Yoona took on the burden of defending his country, reluctantly bid farewell to his beloved girl, and went to the anti-Japanese front.

Before leaving, the girl picked his favorite apple from the tree in front of her house and gave it to him.

And he also promised that he would come back alive to marry her.

On one side is the cruel but real war scene, and on the other side is the scene of the girl making wishes to the apple tree every day and night.

Suddenly, on the battlefield, a bullet hit Lin Yoona.

In her hometown, the girl also heard the long-awaited knock on the door.

But when she opened the door, the girl did not see the lover she had been waiting for for a long time, but a neatly folded military uniform stained with blood, with a withered apple on it.

The girl's heart-breaking scene was deeply engraved in the picture.

When her lover joined the army, he told her to wait at home. Her words are still ringing in my ears, but she is no longer here.

The silent crying performance of the girl played by Psy made almost everyone in the conference room cry along with her.

The screen switched to the fourth chapter.

The ugly disabled girl played by Psy was despised wherever she went in the bustling city. Even when she was buying an apple in the market and was accidentally bumped by someone, the person was mean to her, scolded her and pushed her to the ground.

The passers-by around him just watched coldly and no one helped him.

A passerby kicked the red apple that fell on the ground, and the ugly girl struggled to crawl over it.

When she walked over to pick up the apple, a hand reached out from the other side.

The girl looked up and saw that it was Yoona's boy, who was smiling at her like a Madonna.

At this moment, the first part of Little Apple suddenly sounded.

The whole M kept recalling everything that the two of them had just experienced.

Finally, it freezes on the beach in the Garden of Eden.

After Adam and Eve finished dancing, they both looked at the apple on the tree in fascination, but never reached out to pick it.
