The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 279
He Zhengyang, a man in his 40s and [-]s, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit and leather shoes.

If you just look at his attire, you might think he is a white-collar elite of some company.

However, his free and easy shawl-length hair directly filled him with an artistic atmosphere.

After signing the contract, he stretched out his hand and smiled gently at Chen Shuo: "Hello, Chen Shuo, let's get to know each other formally.

He Zhengyang, the manager of Jingwen Records, is also a music producer.

Please take care of me in the future. "

Chen Shuo bowed slightly and held his hand, and said, "Brother He, please take care of me in the future."

When He Zhengyang saw him, his smile became a little more sincere, "If you have any problems in the future, you can tell me directly, and I will help you solve it."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after officially getting to know each other, Chen Shuo bid farewell to Shan Xiaolou and the others, and followed He Zhengyang for a stroll in the company.

"Our company was founded in 94 with the purpose of promoting cultural undertakings.

Committed to the production and promotion of mainland original music, while introducing overseas excellent music products.

In 2000, our company obtained the VCD distribution rights of American Universal Films.

And with Warner, EMI and other world-renowned record groups, signed a series of product distribution agreements in Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At the same time, we also established Horn Records in 99, and have released more than 200 original rock songs so far. It is the largest original rock creation base in China.

Last year, Crystal Records was established, focusing on domestic original pop music.

Also represented Han Hong's records and performing arts broker, and began to cultivate new artists.

Now it has singers such as Han Hong, Cui Jian, Xue Cun, Chen Zhendong, and Lu Yichun, as well as bands such as Zero Point, Compass, New Generation, and Tang Dynasty.

......"

He Zhengyang took Chen Shuo from the door and introduced him to the company one by one.

The office location of Jingwen Records is much larger than that of Zhouyi Film and Television, occupying several floors.

In addition to the normal office area, there are also practice rooms, recording studios, etc., which are specially used for the creation, practice and rest of the singers.

At the same time, Chen Shuo also knew why his signing took so long.

It's not just because of the failure to negotiate with Zhouyi Film and Television.

It is also because Jingwen Records terminated the relationship with Sunshine Culture within this month, and returned to the road of independence and self-employment.

At the same time, the company is also actively preparing Liu Huan's new album at this time, intending to use this as the first shot for Jingwen's return to independence.

After that, He Zhengyang took him to his office to have a look.

Although he is a rookie singer now, he is a little famous now, so the company will naturally not be stingy to prepare an office for him.

It's different in Zhouyi Film and Television. The company has a weak foundation and a small place. He and Yang Junyi, Yu Bo, and Zhang Jin are squeezed into a room.

However, it is also convenient for the four of them to chat and talk.

After introducing the small office with only a few square meters, He Zhengyang poured two glasses of water and invited Chen Shuo to sit down.

Said: "Since you have officially signed with our company today.

It's time to start preparing for your album.

Have you written any new songs during this time? "

"No, I have been busy with class and study during this time, so I don't have any extra time." Chen Shuo shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, the company's music library also has a lot of backup momentum songs.

At that time, it is really not enough, just choose a few songs with similar styles to fill up.

But I think, since you have the ability to write songs, don't waste it.

If you have the time, try to write as many as you can.

In this way, the profit of your album can be higher, and the share will be more at that time.

After all, the company's songs need to be paid, and at least you don't have to pay the company copyright fees for your own songs.

It doesn't matter even if the writing style is not suitable, whether it is a replacement with the company or being represented by the company is a good profit.

And you can also exercise your ability to write songs. "

"Okay, Brother He, I see. If I have time, I will try to write a few songs."

"Okay, next, you take time to come to the company for training.

There is still a difference mainly between singers and actors.

Another one, the vocal lessons you learned in school are just the basics, and our training here is more targeted.

Then I will also apply to the company for a production team, and then I will officially help you produce this first album.

I'll make a production schedule when the time comes.

Some specific links, if you have any ideas, you can also put them forward.

Such as the title of the album, the script of the MV, the shooting of the cover, etc.

These should be familiar to you. "

"Okay, Brother Lao He will take care of you." Chen Shuo saw that he considered everything, was very professional, and thought of himself wholeheartedly, so naturally he had no opinion.

The role of record companies is to help singers develop their creations.

Help create, raise awareness, create and release the records that artists want.

A qualified record company must have strong publicity and distribution channels.

Nowadays, piracy is rampant, and even if you are a popular song, people all over the country know it.

If you can't sell the original copy, you still won't earn a penny.

However, record companies can take advantage of their strong publicity and distribution channels to seize the market in advance before the pirated version comes out.

Push the album to the people you like in a short time.

Once an album is released, the bonus period is only three months.

After three months, generally speaking, it cannot be sold, even if it is a pirated version.

Among these three months, the first month is the most crucial.

How to sell as many albums as possible within this month is the standard to test the strength of a record company.

After a month, basically all parts of the country are covered with pirated copies. Even if the bonus period has not passed, it will be difficult to create more profits.

Of course, ordinary newcomers will be given preferential treatment. After all, piracy is also to make money, and it is impossible for everyone to do it.

In the face of newcomers who release albums, no one knows which ones will be popular, and we can only do it when they are popular.

It's just that it takes time to do piracy, so there is relatively more time for newcomers.

After discussing for a while, it was already afternoon.

After Chen Shuo treated He Zhengyang to a meal, he took the bus back to school.

The address of Jingwen Records is on Tianning Temple Front Street, XC District, not far from Beiying Campus, only about ten kilometers away.

On the next Sunday, he rode his bicycle directly to the company, and followed He Zhengyang for a day of training.

A day of study also expanded Chen Shuo's singing skills.

Make up for some deficiencies and make him a more qualified singer.

In the evening, Chen Shuo went straight to the Four Seasons Hall after returning to school.

Liu Yifei, who was waiting there, saw him and waved to him.

It is different from Chen Shuo who needs to go to the company to prepare a new script after studying for a week.

Every Friday after class, Liu Xiaoli would come to pick up Liu Yifei and let her rest at home for two days.

After recovering enough energy, I will go back to school for evening self-study on Sunday night.

Although it is said to be evening self-study, the teacher did not stipulate that he must stay in the classroom.

Body room, classroom, library, you can go anywhere.

As a college student, no one will strictly control you according to the rules and regulations, even if you don't go to class, it doesn't matter.
