Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 286 Record agency object
As the owner of the company, the biggest singer in the company, and an excellent songwriter, even if Liu Ciwei thinks Chen Qiming's opinion is inappropriate, he will not refute it, but will seriously implement it.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the language of the first record after the establishment of the company was naturally set to English.

So, in the next few days, the company began to prepare for this English record.

Why do singers like to sign with major record companies?
There are many reasons for this.

But the most important thing is actually one or two.

First, large companies have many channels, and the publicity effect on the release of singers' records is greater.

The second is that these big companies often have sufficient funds, not only can offer high signing fees, but also have the best equipment when helping to produce records, and can invite the top producers in the industry to produce songs with the production team.

The production team is very important to a record.

Songs produced by a good production team will sound and feel different.

And the starting record!
Qidian has only just been established, although because of Chen Qiming, the top producer Chen Xiunan was invited, and Chen Qiming himself has a library of golden songs, which makes Qidian look like a large record company.

But the real situation is that there are still many gaps.

There are almost no high-end talents such as arrangers and sound mixers in the equipment and production team.

Fortunately, Chen Qiming is quite versatile, besides singing and acting, he is also quite capable in post-production.

In addition, his own songs are basically copied from his dreams.

Therefore, in terms of arrangement, Chen Qiming can complete it by himself.

As for sound mixing and post-production, both Chen Xiunan and Tao Zhe can do it.

Therefore, after all the calculations, if the company wants to make a good album, it seems that there is only one band missing.

And this aspect can't be sloppy, the orchestra is playing the accompaniment.

The importance of accompaniment to a song is definitely the top priority.

Even the best song can be rubbish if the accompaniment is bad.

Therefore, inviting a good orchestra accompanist is the next step for the company.

And this matter was handed over to Liu Ciwei.

He is the manager of the company and has a good network in the entertainment circle of Treasure Island, so it is most suitable for him to come forward.

As for Chen Xiunan, he also has a mission.

He wants to take Tao Zhe to buy musical instruments and some recording equipment.

Originally, this company actually had these things, but after Chen Qiming checked, he found that there were still many things missing.

Especially the electronic music equipment that has emerged in recent years.

Such equipment may be dispensable for some traditional singers.

But Chen Qiming is different. Most of his songs come from the future, and many of them require the use of electronic instruments.

Therefore, the company absolutely cannot do without this kind of musical instrument.

Several important people in the company have tasks, so Chen Qiming naturally can't be idle.

His task is the song.

Because he is a creative talent.

Regarding the song, Liu Ciwei and Chen Xiunan hardly mentioned it, fully believing that he can handle it.

Therefore, what Chen Qiming needs to do is to come up with the songs to be released in the new album.

However, before that, Chen Qiming had one more thing to deal with.

Warner Records came to the door to discuss representing his records.

"Chen, I'm glad you can make your own decisions!"

Warner attaches great importance to Chen Qiming and hopes to win Chen Qiming's record agency rights.

So, they sent Mike directly from the headquarters.

It was the strong man like a white bear who helped Chen Qiming handle various affairs when the ep was released.

Qidian Records, as soon as Mike saw Chen Qiming, he immediately laughed and wanted to hug him.

However, just as he raised his hand, perhaps thinking of Chen Qiming's resistance to him at the airport last time, he paused and shook hands instead.

"Thank you! I would also like to thank Warner for your help this time!"

Chen Qiming smiled and shook hands with him.

Chen Qiming was able to escape from Fulong this time, of course it couldn't be all because of himself.

Warner Records also contributed behind the scenes.

In recent years, Warner and Fulong Records have cooperated a lot. Warner Records is responsible for almost all of Chen Qiming's records. Many cooperations between the two parties are still continuing.

This kind of relationship involved, if Chen Qiming left at will, they would naturally not be willing.

In addition, big-name singers like Chen Qiming don't just do it alone if they want to.

The pressure from all sides, and those who don't want to see him make a record of his own is simply not too much.

Therefore, after deciding to go it alone, Chen Qiming took the initiative to contact Warner Records.

Promise that if they do it alone, they will give priority to their record agency rights in the next few years to Warner.

To be honest, Warner Records has been jealous of Chen Qiming's record agency rights for a long time.

They have been putting pressure on Fulong, hoping to sign Chen Qiming as a record agent for several years at a time.

But Ge Fuhong was stubborn.

She never puts her eggs in one basket, and when she signs an agency, she never signs more, and often only signs one record.

This makes Warner Music can't do anything.

So, after Chen Qiming expressed his willingness to sign agency rights with them for a few more years, they immediately expressed their support for Chen Qiming.

Sony voluntarily gave up buying Chen Qiming, partly because Warner pushed behind.

In addition, Warner helped solve the pressure from other records who did not want Chen Qiming to start his own record company.

"Haha! This is what it should be, a talented superstar like you, you shouldn't live in a small company like Fulong.

I have long wanted to tell you, either sign with an international giant or go it alone!
Didn't expect you figured it out by yourself! "

Mike laughed.

He is very excited.

He came here with an appointment this time.

The headquarters appointed him as the president of Warner Asia, and all the affairs on the prime minister's side.

It also includes negotiating Chen Qiming's record agency.

The two came to the office, drank coffee, chatted for a while, and then got down to business.

"Chen, you know how much Warner attaches to you.

I dare say that among the record companies that have ideas for you, Warner is definitely the most sincere. "

Before starting the conversation, Mike boasted a bit.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming just smiled and said nothing.

Every record company that came to talk to him said so.

He smiled and said:

"Although we have agreed before that we will give you the agency rights first, I still want to hear your conditions.

If I am not satisfied, then I will refuse to give you the agency right.

So, I want to hear how much you guys are willing to pay? "

"Of course, we, Warner, are not the kind of people who are reluctant to spend money!"

Mike nodded.

He agreed with Chen Qiming's statement.

Benefits, this is the point where the two parties can cooperate happily. If Warner can't get enough benefits, Chen Qiming will be crazy to give them the agency rights.

"2000 million, we will pay 2000 million to win your record agency rights for the next five years!"

Mike said very confidently.

He feels that this offer is definitely a very high price.

"Five years..."

Chen Qiming lowered his head, pondered for a while, and shook his head, "Five years is too long, three years! If the cooperation is happy, we can talk again!"

The 2000 million that Mike mentioned is not Taiwan dollars or RMB, but US dollars.

In conversion, this is almost 1.5 million yuan, and in Taiwan dollars, it will be more.

The price is definitely worth it.

But Chen Qiming didn't want to sign for too long.

The cooperation with Fulong was signed for too long, which led to various problems arising over time.

On Warner's side, these problems may also arise at that time.

In order to avoid this kind of problem again, he will not sign a contract for too long.

"Chen, five years is not long..."

Before Mike finished speaking, Chen Qiming interrupted him, "No, it's too long, I only give it three years!

2000 million US dollars in three years! "

"Fake, are you crazy? Your buyout contract is only [-] million yuan, and you are calling for such a high amount of agency rights!"

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Mike's eyes widened.

"I think I'm worth the price!"

Chen Qiming looked at him and said to himself.
