China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 91 Preparing the English Album
TAI North.

An indoor basketball court.

Today's stadium is extremely empty. Looking at the entire stadium, there are only seven or eight people, four basketball courts, and only one basketball court is in use.

Basketball court rest area No. 2.

A tall, muscular man threw a bottle of ice mineral water towards the rest area.

"Jielun, water!"

Milkcha Lun, who was sitting there, stretched out his hand and took the ice water steadily.

"How are you? Are you feeling a little better?"

The tall boy smiled and sat next to Milk Cha Lun, his hands casually on the steps behind.

"Fortunately."

Milk Cha Lun shrugged slightly: "You still don't know what those paparazzi are like. I don't care about this."

The tall boy patted Milk Cha Lun on the back casually.

"Hey, you know, that's not what I asked."

"You mean that?"

Mentioning this, Milkcha Lun looked a little more serious, and then squeezed the mineral water bottle.

“Check out my next album!”

Milk Cha Lun said this with full confidence.

Although he was a little unhappy, Milkcha Lun was not the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose.

Just talking about "I'm Very Busy" and "Lu Yuan's Album of the Same Name", he is indeed slightly inferior.

However, he will only lose this time!
Next time, he'll win it back!
Just like "Fantasy"!
"Yeah!"

Liu Genghong smiled and hugged Jay Chou's shoulders: "This is the Jie Lun I know."

Milk Cha Lun stood up energetically and patted his friend.

"Come on, let's have a bullfight!"

"OK!"

the other side.

Lu Yuan returned to Magic City in a low-key manner. In order to be wary of reporters, he specially missed his flight with the crew of "Star You". Moreover, he did not land at the two major airports in Magic City.

Instead, transfer to Shuofang Airport.

In the past half month, the crew of "Star You" has visited Jiuzhaigou, Lushan, Huangshan, Sanya, Qiong Province and other places.

The location scenes of "Star You" and the location scenes of the MV have all been filmed.

This time when he returned to the Magic City, he had three things to do.

The first thing is to discuss renting a first-line river view house with Tomson Group. The male and female protagonists of "Star You" are all powerful characters.

The place to live must not be too bad.

The average unit price of Tomson's first-class products is as high as 12, which is in line with the positioning in the play.

In 05, when Tomson Yipin was launched, the unit price exceeded 10, which really shocked a lot of people's attention.

Even the top rich people still find it expensive.

How much does Green Lake World, which is also a top luxury home, cost?
3-6 million!
Twice as expensive as Green Lake?
Is your Tomson Yipin house made of gold?
Therefore, it is natural that the sales of Tomson Yipin have been sluggish.

At present, Tomson's house is in a state of marketability.

Faced with this situation, Tomson Group did not say anything, but they were also anxious internally.

Therefore, when the crew of "My Star" rented a house owned by Tomson Yipin, they not only did not have to pay the Tomson Group, but instead had to collect sponsorship fees from the Tomson Group.

of course.

This is a private situation. On the surface, it is still the crew of "Star You" who rented the house of Tomson Group and paid a high fee.

The quality of a top-notch luxury home cannot be lost.

The second thing is related to the Tang people.

People from Tang Dynasty contacted him many times and wanted to meet him.

As for the third thing, it is Lu Yuan's first English album.

Boss Lu, prepare to enter Europe and the United States!
If classified according to the nature of artists, artists in the European and American music circles can be roughly divided into three categories.Namely, record label artists, independent label artists, and independent musicians.

Record company artists usually refer to artists signed by major record companies. Music giants such as Warner, Sony, Universal, EMI and other music giants, as well as artists signed by their sub-labels, can all be classified as record company artists.

This type of large music company is top-notch in terms of production team, hardware level, and marketing channels.

In everything, there are gains and losses.

Backed by major companies, artists and their musical works are more likely to become mainstream best-sellers.

Correspondingly, these large manufacturers will also eat up the bulk of profits.

Independent labels refer to small and medium-sized record companies that do not rely on funds from any mainstream labels (the Big Four) to operate.

Such brands usually have their own publicity and sales channels.

Although promotion and publicity are far behind, correspondingly, these record companies and their contracted artists will receive more profits.

The last independent musician refers to artists who are not signed with any record company or independent label.

From production to distribution, I do it all by myself.

The advantage of independent musicians is that most of the profits belong to themselves, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Without the people behind the scenes, it is basically difficult to be known to the public.

To give an inappropriate example, record company artists can get one-fifth of the cake, independent label artists can get one-half of the cake, and independent musicians can get two-thirds.

However, in the vast majority of cases, record label artist cakes are the size of giant cakes.

Even if it can only get one-fifth of the pie, the size of the cake it gets is much larger than that of independent labels and independent musicians.

Lu Yuan's initial intention to enter the European and American music scene was very vulgar.

make money.

Make money quickly and worry-free.

Therefore, the option of independent musicians was first excluded by him.

An Asian face releases records tens of thousands of kilometers away. Even if the quality is extremely high, he will only gain a group of die-hard fans at most.

Between record companies and independent labels, Lu Yuan personally prefers the former.

Mainly to save worry.

It would take three to five years to run an independent label from scratch, even if Lu Yuan had Wang Zha in his hands.

The three to five years here refer to the time when you devote yourself wholeheartedly and do nothing else.

What is the most important thing for a reborn person?
time!time!It's still time!

In three to five years, he could earn more through other channels.

Therefore, Lu Yuan is ready to sign with a major record company.

Universal Music is currently his first choice.

This time, Lu Yuan followed the uncle's path.

Universal Music and SMG have an in-depth cooperation. My style, my show is a joint effort between SMG and Universal Music.

Most of the contestants who debuted on the My Type Show are signed under Shangteng Entertainment.

Shanteng Entertainment is a comprehensive music company jointly established by Universal Music Group and SMG. Universal Music Group holds 51% of the shares and SMG holds 49%.

Strictly speaking, now is not a good time to join Universal Music Group.

The former president of Universal Music Greater China was involved in an indescribable incident. The case involved Shanda and Xinlang and had a considerable impact.

Under pressure, the former president of Universal Music Group Greater China resigned.

This matter not only concerns him personally, but also triggered a series of turmoil within Universal Music Group Greater China.

In fact, it is said that foreigners do not understand the ways of the world.

This sentence is not very accurate. If foreigners don’t understand it at all, why did Xu Zhiwei be hired as the president of Universal Music Asia Pacific?

Xu Zhiwei's father-in-law just seemed to be in trouble, so why did Universal Music fire Xu Zhiwei so quickly?

However, the turmoil in Universal Music's Greater China region has little impact on Lu Yuan because he signed an English album record contract.

Universal Music Greater China only serves as a recommendation and endorsement.

With the uncle's relationship, Lu Yuan can more or less have some autonomy in negotiations.
