Chapter 926: Personality

Originally, Yan He's idea was to authorize this live broadcast to Arctic Light and Icefield for free.

On the one hand, these two video platforms have had a lot of cooperation with him in the past.

On the other hand, this itself is also a gift to all fans, so, from beginning to end, he hoped that everything related to this concert could be unrelated to commerce.

Before Jin Yanshu proposed to buy the broadcast rights, Yan He never considered that there were so many fans overseas willing to watch their concert—

Now that he knows, Yan He still won't change his mind.

Commercial nature?

Need to top up membership to watch?

Even for fans in South Korea, Yan He doesn't want to let it have exceptions.

However, this gave Yan He inspiration.

Since he plans to help Arctic Light Video open up the market overseas, why not let Arctic Light Video do this?

Speaking of which, this is also something they didn't realize before, that the concert of the three of them also has a lot of potential viewers overseas.

The fans of the three of them combined are also very capable—

Just South Korea alone is enough to make Jin Yanshu want to buy the broadcast rights as soon as she hears the news.

When Lin Desheng received Yan He's call and heard about this, his first reaction was good, great, and the second reaction was, how much money does Yan He want Arctic Light to pay?

Yan He said bluntly, no need, free, the same as the online live broadcast domestically.

Lin Desheng was stunned.

Yan He said: "Use the money you originally planned to buy the broadcast rights for promotion. Arctic Light Video has basically no popularity overseas, and there are very few users. I hope this concert can bring you the first batch of users."

Lin Desheng said okay.

Yan He asked: "However, how is your overseas version APP doing? After they download this APP, is there content to watch?"

"We have sorted out the content we have copyright on, picked out the first batch of relatively good content, and have specifically done translation and put it online," Lin Desheng said. "However, currently we only did the English version, other small languages are limited by production costs and have not been put online by region."

"Starting from the English version is also fine," Yan He said, "I only have one request, when doing warm-up for our concert, you can specifically set up a button similar to appointment overseas. Arctic Light's filming team can also come over in advance and release some of our behind-the-scenes rehearsals and tidbits from time to time, so that everyone can see some dynamics from time to time. Since this concert is currently aimed at fans, the operating model is better to fit the interaction law between idols and fans."

"This is of course, don't worry, I will watch it myself. Arctic Light's next strategic deployment is the overseas market, this is Arctic Light's number one project, I am personally responsible," Lin Desheng said bluntly, "Yan, you are willing to provide all these to us, I really don't know what to say, only thanks, really, don't say much else, we have cooperated for so long, in the future if you have any needs, I am your firmest friend."

Yan He laughed.

"Thank you, President Lin, hearing you say this, I am very happy."

Such a large sum of income, Yan He gave it up as soon as he said it.

Yan He could feel that Chen Yin and Chen Ziyan didn't quite agree, and several times they wanted to speak but stopped.

Yan He actually also knows that in business, in the business world, it is actually very taboo to be a straightforward good person.

However, Yan He thought about it and felt that since he had already spoken, this concert should avoid all commercial interests, so he should keep his word.

Integrity is also very important.

Especially for the people around him—you have to keep your word.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang don't need to say, the key is the Hou Jun director team and the people of Arctic Light Video, they all heard Yan He's words.

Now, every move of this concert is highly watched.

If Yan He goes back on his word—although what he said before didn't form a written record and there was no evidence, of course, things can't be discussed like this. What's more, Yan He is not willing to go back on his word. His original intention was to let this concert be unaffected by any commercial interests. Now everything is up to him because he doesn't owe anyone anything.

If Arctic Light Video really paid to buy the copyright, then they would also have a justified reason to make various requests.

Arctic Light Video's advertisement was launched very quickly.

Before this, Yan He first returned a call to Jin Yanshu.

He said that regarding the overseas broadcast rights of this concert, it was actually authorized to Arctic Light Video in the early stage, because specific affairs were not his responsibility, so he found out clearly.

Jin Yanshu felt regretful after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

"I hope next time you hold a concert, you can leave the online live broadcast rights in South Korea to us," Jin Yanshu said.

Yan He said with a smile: "This is not certain, when will the next concert be held, there is no such plan at all, maybe this is the last time."

Jin Yanshu: "Then how regretful the fans who like you will be."

"We are still acting," Yan He said, "Director Jin, then regarding the cooperation you mentioned before, let's talk about it after I finish the concert, my energy has been put into this recently."

"Good," Jin Yanshu said, "Wait until September, I will come to China once and talk to you face to face, how about it?"

"September... in September I might go to the United States, *Buried 2* will be released in September, I will go to attend their premiere, and another job is also over there," Yan He said.

"It's okay, when the time comes, wherever you are, I will go to find you," Jin Yanshu said.

"Also fine."

Arctic Light Video wants to run advertisements overseas.

Their advertisement content is concise and comprehensive.

The promotional poster of Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang, on it is written:

Download Arctic Light Video, August 30th at 8:00 PM, Yan He, Li Zhibai, Yan Liang "Youth Micro-Time" concert full live broadcast.

Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang all forwarded this promotional poster.

The three of them can almost be counted as the most famous young Chinese actors overseas in recent years.

The number of fans of several of them on overseas social platforms has also exceeded seven digits.

Yan He doesn't need to say.

Yan Liang accumulated it bit by bit by relying on a series of works such as *Friends*, *Gold Rush*, and *Flypaper*, and his fan source is relatively rich.

Li Zhibai relies on *You Are the Apple of My Eye*, *Chinese Paladin*, *Love is Not Blind*, and *Buried*, and his overseas fans mainly come from Asia.

Just as Yan He thought, under the dynamics they forwarded, many people were confused and felt puzzled.

Concert?

Everyone's impression of them is actors.

Why suddenly hold a concert?

Many Chinese fans have to explain everywhere that in fact, the three of them were members of a boy band before becoming actors, they are singers, and each has some representative works.

Especially many of their representative works, the lyricist and composer are Yan He, it is Yan He's creation.

These overseas fans heard it, on the one hand, some couldn't help but be surprised, on the other hand, they inexplicably felt it was reasonable.

Created by Yan He?

Although it is said to be a song.

However, for someone like him, it doesn't seem to be anything amazing.

What's wrong with a genius writing a few songs?

It was some of Yan He's friends overseas who were surprised and sent messages, asking: Are you going to transform into a singer?

Yan He directly sent the stage mix video made by fans to them, saying: I was originally a singer.

Singer.

Speaking of which, Yan He also feels that many things are really ghostly.

At the beginning, just because he felt he was not suitable to be a singer, he resolutely chose to be an actor.

In fact, at that time, he didn't know what results he could achieve as an actor.

Why did he make such a choice?

Looking back now, it actually has a lot to do with the cognition at that time.

He felt that his vocal conditions were not top-tier, perhaps he could become a mass-oriented singer by relying on some golden songs. However, after participating in Luo Yuzhong's *Golden Age*, he had a kind of ambition vaguely in his heart, or rather, an unrealistic ideal—he could get a positive emotional feedback that resonated with himself in the process of acting. But when singing, he didn't have this feeling.

But in fact, singing or acting is actually a form of art, and it is a form of expression.

Later, Yan He's several stage performances, including *Green Apple Paradise*, also made him feel a positive emotional feedback that resonated with himself.

That was what he didn't feel when he sang *Commemoration* after coming to this world.

If the first song was *Green Apple Paradise*, perhaps everything would be different.

Even if he traveled to a different world, fate is random.

"The album you released before, the electronic version sales exceeded 1 million copies," Chen Ziyan said, "It is equivalent to the sales of first-tier singers. In fact, many music companies have come to me, wanting to cooperate with you in music."

"Looking for me to buy songs?"

"Want to agent the copyright of your songs," Chen Ziyan said, "You wrote many songs, and they are relatively popular. Various film and television dramas, variety shows, and some galas, etc., are all within the scope of cover choices, and the economic value is very high. But currently, there is indeed no professional music company to operate it. Basically, the cooperative party takes the initiative to find it and do some basic authorization."

"It's all being done by Pick Fire, right?"

"Yes," Chen Ziyan said, "Fortunately, because we are also doing some singer agency, we are not unfamiliar with this aspect, otherwise, we would really be helpless."

"How many albums has Tu Song released now?"

"Two," Chen Ziyan shook her head, very helpless, "Now is not an era where you can release albums. Singers, especially young singers like Tu Song, can only open up mass popularity by singing film and television drama OSTs and participating in music variety shows. It is almost impossible to become famous at the mass level by releasing albums and participating in music festivals."

Yan He understands.

He asked: "Then has Tu Song held a concert?"

"He will hold a few every year, but they are all held one by one, not the touring kind. He hasn't reached the level where he can hold a touring concert," Chen Ziyan said, "Can't sell tickets."

It's not that Tu Song is not famous enough, but his fan base is not big.

Yan He nodded.

He was a bit puzzled: "Actually, Tu Song sang so many popular film and television drama OSTs, why would he be unable to sell tickets?"

"He doesn't have a very distinct star personality and style," Chen Ziyan sighed, "This point is different from being an actor. If a singer doesn't have characteristics in this aspect, he cannot attract fans. This is also why idols are generally active as singers rather than actors. The only way to present works is the singer himself, which is very different from the relationship between a film and television drama and an actor."

Yan He: "Alright."

"Actually, haven't you discovered it? The three of you, Yan He, Li Zhibai, and Yan Liang, have presented very obvious characteristics in this point. Obviously, Li Zhibai's popularity and fans are the highest and most among the three of you, but as an actor, obviously his image, acting skills, style, and talent are all not bad, even if you put aside your screenwriter identity, his talent in acting is not weaker than yours, far better than Yan Liang, but in the final result, he is the relatively weakest among you."

Yan He was stunned.

"Including you being such a good friend of his, you ask him to act, except for extreme type-cast themes like *Buried*, generally they are dramas like *You Are the Apple of My Eye*, *Love is Not Blind*, and *Chinese Paladin*. Either the theme type has a very high adaptability with him, or the character setting has a very high adaptability with him," Chen Ziyan said, "For dramas like *Speed of Life and Death* and *Flypaper* where the protagonist's character is distinct but not adaptable to him personally, you instead look for Yan Liang—although Yan Liang's own personality is also not adaptable, he is closer to a blank sheet of paper in actor personality and can describe any character."

Yan He nodded.

"The more distinct the personality, the more suitable for being a singer, not an actor."

Chen Ziyan said it exactly right.

"What are you thinking? This concert, let me take her up to perform?" Li Zhibai's eyelids turned directly to the sky, "Mom, can you be a bit reliable? This is not my personal concert, this is mine and Yan He's, and Yan Liang's."

At this moment, Li Zhibai was really speechless.

Today his mother suddenly brought a young girl over to find him, saying that this girl was the daughter of her best friend, and also a singer, wanting Li Zhibai to take her to their concert to sing a song.

Li Zhibai didn't care who this girl was at all, nor did he care about anyone's face, and directly exploded.

His mother said: "What's wrong with this, aren't you three good friends? You take Ruoruo up to sing a song, what's wrong? Such a small matter—"

"This isn't a small matter; this is a terrible matter." Li Zhibai interrupted his mother directly. "When you turn sixty, should I invite all those flings from my dad's company to come and wish you a happy birthday? Would you be happy then?"

His mother's face was livid.

"Is this the same thing?"

"For me, it is." Li Zhibai turned to look at the young girl named Li Ruo in front of him, and said, "I'm not targeting you, nor am I unwilling to help you, but today's matter, my mom is not authentic. Bringing you directly to the door, I know my mom, if I don't refuse directly in front of you now, she will definitely pester me later. This concert is a commemoration for me and my brothers. It's been so many years, and this is the only one. We didn't invite a single guest, just hoping that it belongs completely to the three of us. You understand."

Li Ruo was very embarrassed, and said: "Sorry, sorry, I—"

As a result, she didn't wait for Li Ruo to speak, Li Zhibai's mother stood up with a whoosh.

"Ruoruo, let's go! People are big stars now, don't put me, this mother, in their eyes, fine, don't come home in the future!"

Li Zhibai directly rolled his eyes.

"You have the ability not to let my brother call me to go home, if you are too embarrassed to say it yourself, then trouble my brother."

"Li Zhibai, you were born by me in ten months of pregnancy!"

"I also didn't force you to accompany me to play football when you and my dad went out for a honeymoon."

"..."

Li Zhibai's mother rushed away in anger.

Li Ruo got up in a hurry.

"Sorry, Brother Zhibai, I, I thought Auntie had told you in advance, it was me who caused you trouble." Li Ruo's face was very embarrassed, and after apologizing, she chased after her.

After a while, Lin Suyang came in.

Li Zhibai was still in a fit of anger.

He said: "You say, is my mom sick?"

Lin Suyang: "Don't wow and scream as soon as your temper comes up."

Li Zhibai: "I'm really convinced, too self-righteous, didn't even ask me, directly promised others." ===== CHAPTER 927 =====
