Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1130 Respect the Creator

But a good cover is indeed better than a bad original, at least the songs they cover are close to the world's mainstream aesthetics.This is why the appearance of Jay Chou in the previous life directly made up the missing courses in the Chinese music scene, and indeed combined Chinese traditional music with Western music concepts very well.

What Fang Jiming wants to do is to encourage similar music creations. Only good singers and good songs can truly revitalize the music scene.Other than that, there is no other way.

It is not to say that making stars through variety shows can revitalize the music scene and go to the world.If it's really that easy, how come there were so many talent shows in the previous life that only a few became popular?

The most critical thing is the question of the song.

Although there are many original works in China, there are not many high-quality works, which is very embarrassing.In his previous life, Fang Jiming also thought that after Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Leehom Wang, Stefanie Sun, Angela Chang, SHE, Feier Orchestra, Mayday...these people turned out to be a sign of the rise of the Chinese music scene, he did not expect that it was already the pinnacle.

Therefore, Fang Jiming said to the three singers: "If there are contestants who sing their own original songs, as long as they sing well, they can advance to the knockout round..."

Shao Wenbin frowned and said, "Why?"

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "Singer-singer is more adaptable than singer..."

Luo Fei quickly said: "No wonder Zi'an is more popular than us, it turns out that he knows how to write songs!"

Shao Wenbin also came to his senses: "That's right, we two 'old guys' don't know how to write songs, we just rely on our luck for food."

"If we could write songs, we wouldn't have no work for so long." Luo Fei said with emotion.

Fang Jiming smiled and said: "It's not a problem. Panshi Records has already collected songs from all over the country. As long as you send us a demo (song sample recording), we will use it as appropriate. If there is a record, there will be a song of [-] yuan. The above remuneration. If multiple songs are accepted, they will be hired to write songs. Even if the price is negotiated, they can even make an album for this songwriter..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the three singers were slightly surprised: "Fang Dong is really a big hand!"

Fang Jiming smiled and didn't think it was a big deal.After all, even if all songs are recorded in an album, the minimum cost of collecting songs is only 30 yuan.Even if it is an invitation to sing, it is only 15 to [-] for a song, and it is rare to give [-]. Songs with a sky-high price of [-] are very rare, and only some "old-timers" in the industry can enjoy this price.

The three singers who were familiar with the market all felt that Fang Jiming's price for collecting songs from "newcomers" was too high.

The common practice in many industries is to give thousands to tens of thousands. Fang Jiming directly doubled the number of songs to collect songs. This is simply turning the tables!If nothing else, how do other record companies live?
You know, to make a record, no matter how well-run it is, it can only make money if it sells more than 30 copies.And a cassette tape only earned one or two dollars.In other words, if you spend so much money collecting songs, the cost will not be recovered!This is not flipping the table, what is this?The cost has been increased to 15. At least 20 records have to be sold to be considered a loss, and [-] copies is barely profitable.

It has to be said that other records have a lot of resentment towards Rock Records, and they can't enjoy the bonus of "newcomers" - they can't lower the cost to produce records, they can only extend the time to produce records!Only some record companies with big-name singers and first- and second-tier singers dare to make new albums!After all, for first- and second-tier singers, it is not a problem for sales to exceed 20 copies.If it performs supernormally, 50 or 80 copies are possible.

After all, albums are such a thing, as long as you have sales, how much trouble can it be to record a tape?That's all money!

"We all hope that the music scene will be good."

Fang Jiming said with emotion, "It's wrong to only pay attention to singers and not to composers and lyrics. How many people can write songs if they can't support their families?"

This is the pain of the industry. The deteriorating domestic music scene has a lot to do with not paying attention to creators.After all, when a singer sings a popular song, who will pay attention to who the creator is except for people in the industry?
As Fang Jiming said, if writing songs can't support the family, who will write songs?This is the reason for the decline in the quality of good domestic songs. A large number of songwriters have changed careers because they cannot make money.This is actually a loss to the domestic music scene!

Singers, of course, are scarce.

But what is really scarce is a good song.

After all, no matter what singers are, there are always a certain number of them, and there are many who can sing.But a good song is hard to come by!Most first- and second-tier singers have one or several regular songwriting teachers.Because these singers know that songwriters are the biggest contributors.

This is different from laymen's understanding. Take fans as an example, they will think that it is all due to the singer.

How can it be!

Not to mention the cost of packaging a singer for a record company, just tailor-made songs for him cost countless money.Without these tailor-made songs, can the singer be popular?Even if it is fire, it will be discounted.For example, a singer is like the outer packaging of a product, which can be manipulated; but the quality of the song is the quality of the product, and there is no room for falsehood.

It is true that there are regular fans who will be attracted by the singer's appearance, but more passers-by will be attracted by the quality of the songs.

If you want to be a first-line singer, what you are fighting for is not regular fans, they are all your fans, they are your fans as much as you do!The real thing to fight for is passerby fans.Only by increasing the number of fans can you increase your coffee position!That's why first- and second-tier singers treat songwriters with respect and honor as "teachers"—if you don't do this, you won't even be able to guarantee the quality of the songs!
Fang Jiming attaches great importance to singers and songwriters because they can both write and sing, and they are born with a lot of advantages over others.

Luo Fei nodded, approving Fang Jiming's philosophy: "Director Fang is really knowledgeable, and now newcomers earn too little money writing songs, and few newcomers are willing to dedicate themselves to music..."

Shao Wenbin said exaggeratedly: "It costs thousands of dollars a month to find a job, and thousands of dollars to write a song. Who will write it?"

Qiao Zi'an joked: "When will Director Fang write me a few more songs?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at Fang Jiming with piercing eyes. Who didn't know that Fang Jiming "wrote" the first classic songs? !Not to mention anything else, just making Qiao Zian popular again is enviable.The highest album sales reached 80 copies a year, which is the dream of many singers!

Not to mention anything else, just relying on this album alone, Qiao Zian can eat it for a lifetime!
