Back to 1988, in order to lay down liver skills

Chapter 225
There is a saying called "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao arrives".

Probably because he just talked about his little assistant with Cheng Shilong, Yan Changqing received a call from this assistant before he left Cheng Shilong's house.

Yan Changqing was a little strange: "What's the matter?"

Huang Peishan's tone was a little anxious: "Boss, it's great that you haven't left yet. I have something to report to you face to face. Just wait for me, I'll be right there."

"Hey..." Yan Changqing didn't have time to speak, the phone was hung up.

He was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Cheng, I wasted your time..."

Cheng Shilong said with a smile: "No problem, I used to communicate with his father often, but because I am too busy with work, now we are not as frequent as before."

Yan Changqing apologized: "I'll take her back to the company to talk later!"

"It's really no problem." Cheng Shilong smiled. "She will definitely not see outsiders like you when she comes to my house."

The main reason is that Cheng Shilong is really busy these days. The movie of the Serious Crime Squad will be released soon. He was too busy to go home a few days ago. Now he just came back and was disturbed by himself, which made Yan Changqing a little bit embarrassing.

……

Not long after, Huang Peishan ran over and changed into a beige suit. The top was still very roomy, and she matched it with that kind of wide-leg pants.

Outrageously, Yan Changqing suspected that the shoes she was wearing were modified with stilts.

Because she looks taller than herself.

Seeing Jackie Chan, Huang Peishan said hello politely: "Hello, Uncle Cheng, your new movie is sure to be a hit. I saw the promotion and wanted to go to the cinema and wait to watch it. It's really good."

Cheng Shilong smiled happily: "Come in quickly! You seldom see you after you went to college, and now you know how to be polite!"

Without exchanging pleasantries, the assistant approached Yan Changqing: "Boss, I took your song to Polygram, Dadi, Huaxing, and Warner record companies. They all want to meet and talk with you. .”

"Doesn't your family have a record company?" Yan Changqing asked strangely.

"My house is too small. If you want to distribute it globally, you'd better find a big record company." Huang Peishan's words sounded like killing relatives.

Cheng Shilong even wanted to laugh: "Does your old man support you?"

"Of course he supports me!" Huang Peishan is quite proud of her behavior of "eating the inside out", fully demonstrating her characteristics of "the air-tight little padded jacket". "It's still the people from these record companies that he helped me contact!"

Yan Changqing asked: "What did they see me for, didn't you talk to them?"

"Probably they think I'm not good at talking!" Huang Peishan's pride just now disappeared, and she was a little frustrated. "These people are low-minded, boss, I think they want to sign with you directly."

Yan Changqing shook his head: "I don't plan to develop in the music world, and I'm not interested in signing a contract. What's there to talk about."

Huang Peishan was taken aback: "Then you have to talk to them, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve global distribution. Especially Polygram, they are a global company, boss, you must talk to them."

Yan Changqing thought for a while: "Then when can we talk, I still have a lot of things to do at home!"

"Soon, I can contact them now and meet you soon." Huang Peishan said.

……

In the afternoon, Yan Changqing met with people from several companies, and Huang Peishan asked him to find Cheng Shilong's lawyer to help check the situation.

However, at the beginning, several companies talked about wanting Yan Changqing to join, whether he was a composer or a singer.

Especially Warner, they just spent a huge amount of money to 'redeem' Liu Tianwang from Baoyixing under PolyGram. The sky-high price of 4000 million Hong Kong dollars is a well-deserved big deal at this time. A singer is so willing to spend money.

However, Yan Changqing felt that Warner was a bit inflated. The manager who came here talked about 4000 million at the beginning, and then said: "Our company is the most willing to invest in its artists..."

Then Barabara said a lot, we are so rich, if you don't sign it, it means you have no experience.

Yan Changqing was very suspicious. It was because of his status as a mainlander that these people looked down upon him.

He emphasized: "I've already said that I won't sign with the company, not because of money. Maybe you don't know my situation yet. I write songs to sell alcohol."

"Currently, CCTV in mainland China has a set of prime advertising time, and it is the advertisement of my winery. I don't release songs to make money, but to advertise. You really don't need to talk to me about how much money you can make here. I am now Not interested in money."

When Yan Changqing said this, he felt quite refreshed. Seeing that the people in front of him were not convinced, especially the female manager from Dadi Records, she couldn't help showing contempt.

He added: "Last month, my winery's sales were close to [-] million. If I hadn't come to Xiangjiang to talk about this advertisement this month, I would have achieved a small goal of selling [-] million a month."

A small goal in January, well, this sentence is also quite good.

It's just so uncreative, I took out what others said before and pretended to compare, and asked if you were angry?

No, to be exact, it's not the past, it's the future!

It feels so cool to install what some people want to install in advance!

……

The atmosphere of the conversation became much more harmonious in an instant.

In particular, Yan Changqing also said: "Although I have participated in the Spring Festival Gala twice, I have no intention of developing in the music industry. This is just my hobby."

Participating in the Spring Festival Gala means that he has a market of more than one billion people in the mainland. If he wants to be a musician, he can consider releasing an erhu album now.

But my skill panel is just a small jade plate, and it's not a reputation system. Apart from improving my reputation and earning some money, the release of an album doesn't help my skills much.

In the end, Yan Changqing added again: "This song has already been selected by CCTV to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala program. If it can be selected, Chinese people all over the world can hear it on the Spring Festival Gala."

Although not necessarily selected.

Telling them to give some more favorable conditions is only second, the most important thing is to make them pay more attention to this song, and maybe expand the scope when it is released.

The female manager of Dadi Records said weakly: "Actually, the records are in the mainland, and they can't make much money, although the market there is huge."

Because pirated versions sell better there, unless you launch a large number of 'pirated versions' to seize the market from the very beginning.

Other record companies are very calm about this, because Dadi obviously intends to give up, and they do not have an advantage in distribution channels.

After Yan Changqing said this, a group of people understood that they only wanted to distribute it, and whoever had the best channels would have the most advantage.

PolyGram is more concerned about one thing: "Mr. Yan, I would like to ask, do you still need to do this kind of 'advertising' in your follow-up plan?"

"Yes!" Yan Changqing didn't hide anything, he had already borrowed several songs, and he must release them slowly. "The tentative plan is to make a few songs like this every year. I have already thought of the name, and there will be Victory Vodka [-]..."

Even Huang Peishan looked at the boss with a speechless expression.

A group of professionals are too lazy to complain about this name. Fortunately, this one only intends to call it Victory Vodka instead of directly calling it Vodka.

It doesn't seem right, the name of the wine is Victory Vodka, this...

The manager of PolyGram thought about it and said slowly: "When it comes to global distribution channels, Mr. Yan also knows our advantages..."

The manager of Warner next to him said very embarrassingly: "If it is this style of music, there is no need for distribution channels at all. If you get it from any music company in Europe and the United States, they will be willing to release a single!"

"That's right, I can go if I go." Dadi's female manager is very good at taking advantage of her own advantages. Anyway, she is already in trouble, so she is not afraid of being a troublemaker.

Huaxing's manager made a direct bid: "We are willing to pay 1000 million Hong Kong dollars for the copyright, or give us this song for distribution, and we can guarantee that Mr. Yan will get at least 1000 million Hong Kong dollars in income."

Huaxing was originally very strong, but they couldn't keep people. A large number of singers left when their contracts expired. Now the whole company is going downhill.

Especially now, Guo Tianwang, under their banner, will not be able to keep it anymore, and the current situation is not very good.

……

These record companies are willing to offer a price for a song because after they get the song, in addition to selling the copyright to make and sell the record, they can also use this song to bring their artists.

It is to produce a music compilation, and sell other artists' songs together with this song.

Yan Changqing no matter how they release a compilation album or sell the copyright, he only chooses the one that can guarantee his victory vodka to let more people know as soon as possible.

In the end, PolyGram relied on its own channels and used a series of sharing contracts to get this song into its pocket.However, they have a condition that when Yan Changqing releases other 'commercial songs' later, they have the priority under the same conditions.

Record companies have advantages for artists, especially at this time, Xiangjiang generally has a sense of superiority over mainlanders. Many artists from the mainland have very strict signing conditions at the beginning.

But depending on the situation, no one will recruit someone who can earn more money than them.

People who are talented and not short of money are too difficult to deal with. They will be laughed at by others, so they can only talk about cooperation.

……

After the negotiation is completed, the others can only helplessly express that they hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Huang Peishan had a pleading expression on her face: "Boss, I am your assistant manager, I should be the one to sign this contract, and you are not old enough to sign the contract directly, if you need to find a guardian, it is very troublesome, let me do it !"

Yan Changqing was surprised: "You are just my assistant, or you can say that you are the manager of the company. When did you become a manager?"

"Let me sign it! Let me sign it! Boss, okay?" Huang Peishan didn't explain, she just begged for mercy.

"That's fine, but you have to tell me why?" Yan Changqing raised the condition.

Huang Peishan struggled for a second before explaining the reason: "In this way, when I look for another job in the future, I can say that I have experience as a manager, and I am also your manager, a famous composer and performer!"

Yan Changqing was speechless: "Aren't you afraid that I won't agree to you? You've just given me a job for less than a week, and you're planning to change jobs?"

Is this a natural rebellion?

"No, I have to be prepared!" Huang Peishan twitched. "It's very hard for a woman to find a job. Boss, please understand!"

Yan Changqing 'reminded' her: "If you work in other places like this, I think you will probably work harder, and maybe you will face harassment in the workplace."

Although the clothes are a bit poor, she is a young and beautiful girl after all, she is always acting like a baby, so it is not surprising that she is harassed by LSPs in the workplace.

That is to say, Yan Changqing is upright, so he will not be tempted by this kind of temptation.

Huang Peishan chuckled: "Because I know the boss is the best!"

I was so happy that I almost jumped up, and happily went with the lawyer to find someone to negotiate a contract.

With a professional lawyer around, Yan Changqing didn't worry about her doing a good job, so she let her operate these things.

……

After the contract was signed, Yan Changqing planned to leave Xiangjiang.

Now that I have an assistant in Xiangjiang who is familiar with the local area, he can control many things through the phone in the future, without having to run around by himself, which is very convenient.

Although the salary is much higher, the salary of this assistant, coupled with the inevitable bonuses in the follow-up, her income alone can be compared to the salary of hundreds of workers in the winery.

But there is no way, the gap is so big, the salary here is high, let alone a college student.

But before leaving, Yan Changqing called Feng Yigui in time and told him that he had found a cooperative record company for this song in Xiangjiang, and he didn't need to think about advertising, just wait for the wine to be shipped out. .

Moreover, the contract will also be transferred to Xiangjiang Company in the future, and the funds will be directly collected here at that time.

Foreign exchange is currently too scarce, so it's better to stay outside.

……

Just when Yan Changqing was about to go to the car, he received a call from Cheng Shilong, and after Cheng Shilong made the call, he ran over directly: "You composed the song Victory Vodka, why didn't you let me listen to it in advance?" Did you hear it?"

"Aren't you very busy? Why... wait, the contract has just been negotiated, has it already been released?" Yan Changqing was very surprised. "Is there such a high efficiency here in Xiangjiang?"

"It's released!" The expression on Cheng Shilong's face was wonderful. "But only half."

"What do you mean?"

"It's only half released, and if you want to listen to the other half, you can order the record now." Cheng Shilong explained. "Just when you were halfway through the chant..."

"Fuck! Won't they be scolded to death?"

"Of course! But as long as you can make money, being scolded is nothing!"

Yan Changqing didn't know what to say, isn't this the same as those music websites that let people buy VIPs on the Internet in the future?
A song only allows you to listen to half, or a third, in short, when it is the most critical time, tell you, do you want to continue listening?Just charge money if you want!
The key is that the song Victory Vodka is also very flammable. It is relatively flammable from the beginning, step by step, and slowly reach a climax.

Half of this?
Yan Changqing recalled the shock when he heard this song for the first time. At the moment of singing, he suddenly felt a shock, the moment when goosebumps appeared...

Then I stopped here, want to continue listening?If you think about it, buy a record!

This marketing person is really talented, no, this motherfucker is a genius!
……

Cheng Shilong came to listen to Quer.

He wants to finish listening, and can't wait to buy the record. The record hasn't been made yet, so he can only pre-order it now.

Yan Changqing didn't leave any tapes here, and gave them to Huang Peishan, so he had to ask his assistant to send the tapes to Cheng Shilong, and let him listen to it.

After the music ended, Cheng Shilong punched a set of punches on the spot, which was regarded as an evaluation of the song.

Then he grinned: "This song is very suitable for movies, you didn't sign it too cheaply, right? This kind of song is especially suitable for war movies, and its copyright in the West will definitely sell very well."

Huang Peishan smiled and said: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, what I signed with them is a share."

"That's good." Cheng Shilong walked up and down the room. "It's a pity that the style of this song is Western style. Changqing, you should make our style, so that I can use it in my martial arts movies in the future."

"There will be." Yan Changqing said with a smile. "However, I don't know if the movie is suitable for you or not. When there is a new song in the future, I ask Uncle Cheng to listen to it first and give advice."

Cheng Shilong was very happy: "I can't give pointers, but I can punch you for fun!"

this……

Yan Changqing was a little embarrassed, saying that if he really listened to the music to boxing for fun, and later found out that he was better at boxing than him, would he feel that he was not loyal enough?
However, he was so excited just now, and just punched a set, if what he said now, would it be appropriate?

After struggling for three seconds, Yan Changqing said modestly: "Actually, I know a thing or two about boxing."

Well, I just passed the first level and entered the second level not long ago, so I know a little bit.

……

Don't say it's inappropriate, if you talk about it later, if he recalls his current experience, it will hurt his feelings!
Cheng Shilong smiled even happier: "Really? Then you can come and let me see if it's okay?"

Yan Changqing smiled, then come on!
I can't really wait for people to show off every time I punch a set, and then suddenly tell people after a few years that I was actually a graduate student in the martial arts world at the beginning, and I like to watch high school students and college students perform...

Pulling his posture, Yan Changqing didn't use too fancy punches, but just punched Changquan once.

After he stopped, Cheng Shilong waited for a while, and asked Huang Peishan next to him: "What do you think of his punches?"

"It's pretty." Huang Peishan frowned and thought. "about the same as you?"

Cheng Shilong laughed: "I think it's better than me. I can't feel how good it is. I just think it's pretty good. Changqing, why don't we try it out?"

Ah this?

Yan Changqing was taken aback, right?
Immediately he laughed: "Okay!"

It's not just sparring, he often spars with a group of brats in the village, it's simple.

Make sure no one is hurt.

I just hope that waiting will not affect his morale in promoting the new movie.
