Big play bone

President of Teddy-Bell, Eleventh Studio. This studio is created by Bell's two brothers. As Teddy said, this is a very small independent studio, even "Company" can't call, they have always been committed to independence. Making and distribution of music. Jason Marez's two albums, as well as the first album of Bruno Marris before going to the Atlantic Record, is released by the 11th studio.

However, the workload of the eleventh studio is very small, which is always locked in the field of independent music. In the past three years, only the five albums have been issued, don't say that the top big companies are connected and arguing, even most independent record companies Both are more than. True to play "essence" to the extreme.

Small but complete. Eleven studio is very good in the industry, and Warner in the five major records, Sony maintains a good partnership - Bruno - Marers travels to the Atlantic album, or Teddy personally pulled the bridge, convince Abraham signed.

Previously, George has never considered the 11th studio, because he never has to turn over the eleven studio, and the person has not extended this studio. If you have a knowledge of Abraham, Geraki is "Don Quixao" If you lack confidence, George has no confidence to persuade Teddy.

As for the rental recorder, it is just just a simple rent. After all, I want to find a suitable price and high-end studios in New York, there are not many options.

Today, Abraham came over the eleven studio, Teddy as the owner, came to the recording class, and chatted. Simply put, Teddy is just a way to accompany. Therefore, when Abraham and George Pin were discussed, Teddy did not play; but see Abraham is not interested, he took the initiative to stand.

"Of course." Teddy said, he was very confirmed that the younger brother would like "Don Quixote" album. Now you can imagine what he loves does not release. "We have a lot of disadvantages, it is not the most Good choice, but we also have the advantages of Atlantic. "

The simple and simple words revealed a self-confidence. "We are willing to maintain this album all style, respect for the will of the creators, I think this is the essence of the whole album; then, We are also willing to let one to two percentage points, as the exchange conditions, the album production budget must be controlled within 100,000 US dollars, the specific number can be discussed again. "

Thousands of butterflies are flying in George's chest, and the whole person is immersed in the unusually inhibited excitement.

Is the eleven studio be the best choice? of course not! Their scale is too small, the issuance channel is too narrow, the promotional resources are too small, and the production budget is limited, according to Teddy's conditions, in order to make this album, Georgia must be inverted, and in eleven studios The scale and "Don Quixote" style is predicted, and it is estimated that this album rolling street is boost.

But is the 11th studio is the most appropriate choice? Definitely is! They are willing to respect the "Don Quixote" creative concept, they are willing to promise a hundred percent of the tax, and even one to two percentage points, the most important thing is to pay attention to and focus on independent music, in the production In the process of publicity, it will become a positive factor in album.

"If ..." George sent his voice in slight shaking, "I said, if, more than 15 songs of the whole album?" This is also the biggest problem of George and Herbert - it is difficult to pay, they I know that this is a choice of choice, but if I can choose?

"15th?" Teddy sneaked a moment, "If this is the case, the terms, the fifteen percentage points may be our limit, but as I just said, now just an intentional communication, specific details We can sit down and talk slowly, I believe that in order to this album, we will reach a consensus. "

"No problem, of course, no problem." In more than two months, George frustrated, Abraham is his last life, if it is not, the digital source is their only choice. Suddenly, there was a window behind him, the kind of joy, that kind of feint, the kind of happiness, let George are happy, so that some lose attackers.

Looking at George, Abraham, the moon, and he looked at Teddy, "But why?"

Any kind of people can make judgments, "Don Quixote" is an inevitable project, a project that is destined to lose money, a project with no future, only George's idealist, will be alone, even Also at all.

Teddy smiled and laughed. Looking at Roy sitting obliquely, "he said is correct. Everyone is eager to achieve commercial achievements, then who should be made by artism? I can't imagine, one day of the future, all the cinemas only reflect the movie of 'Transformers'. For artistic creation, I can't force, but at least, I can support such creations, in the range of power. "

Roy's sight has fallen on Teddy, and then he saw Teddy's emptive, "Dream is the case, sometimes it is a little ingredient, there is a little crazy." Such a simple sentence, let Roy blood.

For many years, he witnessed a dream of a dream, even he thought that he had already turned as a gray, gave up the dream, and gave up hard, gave up the resistance. But now, at this moment, in Teddy, in Georget, there is, in the blue ceremony, he reappeared the short luminous in the deep heart.

"Do you think?" Teddy said smiling, Rozy knew that this sentence is talking to himself, so he nodded, "Maybe, this is the source of the album name."

Don Quixote, the fool against the windmill giant.

CHAPTER;

538 cooperative relationship

Abraham Zhang opened his mouth, and he was shook his head without helplessly. This is an optional choice. He knows that he believes Teddy also knows.

"Don Quixote" album, don't expect to make money, less lost money, you can already be called a victory.

Now the world's musical market is not booming, even if North America is still the most prosperous area, a 10-year album has been selling thousands of brilliant, and now it is not returned. Nowadays, nowaday sales champion may sell No more than 5 million; more exaggerated is that only two million will be sold, you can rank among the top 20 of the year-end sales list, and the top ten. You know, two million tens of thousands of people ten years ago, even the first fifty is not necessarily squeezed.

From the professional vision of Abraham, "Don Quixote" should be between 150,000 to 200,000, at least, "Blue Rich-Hall" is still a bit influential, then Plus "Creopatra" and "Ophiyalia" driven by two singles, it is possible to achieve this sales data.

Abraham is not Hui.

As a reference object, the gods of Nora-Jones have "far away", before Gray, only selling six hundred thousand, it is the market that is prosperous in 2002.

Recently, the first album of the individual issued by Bruno Marris last year, "do-opshoooligans", so far, sales have not exceeded 700,000, this is also a harvest of two in February this year. After the nomination, the result of the sales volume is driven.

Comprehensive consideration, Abraham believes that "Don Quixote" is absolutely impossible to exceed 300,000, even the miracle happens, is also very difficult.

Making a special album of ordinary, $ 250 is now the lowest standard in the industry. For independent musicians, the cost may be reduced, but it is not too low. Just now Teddy also said that hundreds of thousands of dollars are ceiling. From this side, Teddy is clearly realized that this is a crazy gambling, he is reducing the loss as much as possible to minimize.

However, the album is not created, the so-called "250,000" is just the cost of the recording and production phase. After that, it is necessary to design, packaging, burning, etc., then need to be shipped, issued, promotion, etc. Expenditure is required in a link. Although it is not to say that the cost of publicity is, the better sales, but it is certain that the publicity cost is too low, and sales naturally difficult to create achievements.

Record companies and issuers want to recycle costs, even achieving profits: sales are the first element, copyright is the second element, but copyright benefits must also be established on the excellent performance of sales, create more access to copyright use channels Possible. But if the sales of a album is only 300,000, then profit is almost impossible.

This is the reason why Abraham refused George.

As a music enthusiast, he likes "Don Quixote" album, even if you want to see the full version of the album, he believes that he will love it; but as the hidden people of the Atlantic record, he can't arbitrarily - I know that "Don Quixote" is a competent business, he is absolutely can't nod.

What's more, in the final analysis, the Atlantic Record is not his company, he is just a workmanship. Teddy can be awarded, for dreams and art throws, but he can't.

Think carefully, maybe this is a good thing. At least one company is willing to issue "Don Quixote", at least such a separate record company supports art creation in a tirelessly, at least producers willing to build a special album, at least music People can keep calm pursuit of art height ... The most important thing is that at least his wishes can be achieved -

After "Don Quixote" is listed, Abraham will definitely buy, and more than one.

He hopes that this will be the 21st century, another album worth collecting. In the past ten years, such albums have become less and fewer, maybe two hands can be over, the year has a year of more than ten twenty classic collections in the 1970s. After all, I can't go back. Therefore, he is more urgent than anyone hope that "Don Quixote" can go well, this is his simple hope as a musician.

"Teddy, thank you." At the end of the mood, Abraham expressed his most authentic emotions at Teddy. "I sincerely hope that this album will be completed smoothly." Not a guest, not acting, but sincere Wishing and expectation. "I think, then you have a lot of work needs to be done, then I will not continue to stay here, after I go back, I will wait quietly listed."

Immediately, Abraham didn't leave, and left the space of the work to them.

The joy is too fast, too unexpected, have not come to Abraham, followed by the official cooperation negotiation, George's mind is thousands, I don't know where to start, watching the Thai in front of you Di, George is a bitter to eat - because he is really unknown to the Bell's two brothers, there are many rumors, but never really turn over the hand.

"For this album, how many songs do you think is acceptable?"

Just when George thinks, there is someone apart, not Naison, but the stranger who is in the first time today, he doesn't even know the name of the other party, and don't say the other party, George looks to Najo, vote Going to the sight of the question, but Naison did not come to the opening, the other party continued to say.
