King of Stage

Chapter 224: Strive for initiative

Alice is not a professional agent, and she still lacks a sufficient understanding of the state of the music industry. However, since she has decided to temporarily "play" the role of an agent, she naturally needs to do her homework.

Fortunately, Alice is a member of the film industry. She has made many friends at school and Los Angeles. It is not a problem to inquire about the average level of the industry through her own network.

"Mr. El Tecom, there are still many differences between the two albums. I think we all know this." Alice was not overjoyed by Atlantic Records' "compromise." , The brain was still calm, and while flipping through the contract in hand, he smiled and put forward his ideas. His calm and self-evident appearance seemed to be capable of dual-purpose, even in front of Ahmet.

And what about Ahmet?

Well-informed, he still smiled, showing no strangeness on the surface, and said lightly, "Then it's up to you, do you want the Queen's "differentiation" or Britney -Spears (Britney-Spears) like the "differentiation"?"

This is jargon.

Once a queen, in 1974 and 1975, they succeeded with their second album, third album, and fourth album successively, step by step to create a world of their own, and then will be released in 1977. For the fifth album, everyone thought they would continue their style and continue to climb the peak. As a result, the band ushered in a 180-degree turn, opening an incredible new chapter in the history of rock music.

This album incorporates bold and crazy genres such as classical music, opera, art rock, avant-garde rock, etc. During the production stage, there have been countless controversies, among the band members, band members and producers, band members and record companies. Contradictions and disagreements broke out in an all-round way, and they were almost completely destroyed at one point.

But the result?

The album achieved incredible explosive success and established the status of Queen in one fell swoop. The album remained popular until fifty years later. This is the famous "Bohemian Rhapsody".

The same is true of Britney Spears.

Britney Spears, who had achieved great success in the early 1999 test cry, was hailed as the American sweetheart of the new century. Britney Spears, who won countless praises for three consecutive albums, ushered in a bottleneck in 2003, her fourth recording. Shiro Album decided to usher in a transformation, breaking the image of an innocent girl, showing her own sex/sense for the first time.

Later, although this "popular/prohibited/area" album gave birth to a hit single such as "Toxic", which was the fifth highest-selling single in the world in 2004, the whole album was disappointing. , The breakthrough challenge failed to reap the expected response, but instead caused Britney to fall into a scandal-ridden deadlock——

In 2004, Spears got married and divorced in Las Vegas. The marriage lasted only fifty-five hours.

Whether it's the Queen or Britney, they all have enough voice in the studio to decide the style and genre of the album, but the results are completely different.

In fact, what Alice is fighting for and what Ahmet is defending is the right to control the quality of the album.

Alice hopes to gain more initiative for the band, prevent the band from becoming a puppet in the hands of large companies, and be able to produce albums in accordance with the band’s ideas, and to weaken the shackles from the record company as much as possible; but Ahmet cannot be easily If they give up the initiative in production, record companies must control risks. In the final analysis, they still need to be market-oriented.

Luo listed two groups of singers. Ahmet's subtext is that not every singer can be a good producer, and the Kings still need to trust the producer of Atlantic Records.

Alice can perceive that there is something in Ahmet's words. Although she does not understand the difference between Queen and Britney, the whole context has already felt a sense of oppression.

So, Alice responded in a different way, "Neither, what we are after is a kind of unanimity, the king for a day is always the king for a day, just like Bruno Mars can be in the "Love Songs". Keep your colors the same."

Ahmet said "difference", Alice said "consistent".

It seems that Niutou didn't respond to Mazui's answer, but he actually responded by surrounding Wei and saving Zhao, and then expressed their position in Alice's way.

Then, Alice’s attention shifted from the contract to Ahmet, "Mr. El Tekon, I think, you believe in Ronan and the strength of the band, so you decide to sign with us, then you We should also believe that we know what we are doing, just like Bruno."

After a pause, the smile on Alice's mouth rose, "Or, is my idea wrong?"

Although Alice is not a professional agent, her remarks did show skill. Not only did she show toughness, but she also threw out the trap by retreating at the end of her speech-as a rookie agent of an independent band , Sitting in the office of the CEO of Atlantic Records, she has done her best.

Seeing through ~www.readwn.com~, Ronan can be heard smilingly adding, "I guess, El Tecon signed us, shouldn't we be another group of Jonas brothers?"

At the critical moment, Ronan showed the tacit understanding of the Cooper brothers and sisters and provided timely assists.

"..." Ahmet's expression stagnated slightly for a rare moment. Although he still didn't reveal too much surging look, the short pause was still very obvious. Ronan's wit and humor made Ahmet's wit and humor. The smile between the eyebrows overflowed like this, as if he was replenishing the appearance of the king incarnate as the Jonas brothers.

Somewhat funny.

It's funny.

Even Ahmet was not able to control his emotions perfectly-this proved that Ahmet was not a robot.

You come and me, and the sharp contract negotiations also revealed a little ease. The most important thing is that Ronan’s words are an important supplement to Alice’s point of view. They vividly and vividly illustrate the concerns of the King’s Band. Ahmet understood immediately.

His gaze projected towards Ronan again. Ahmet got out of the conversation track for the first time, but the rhythm and content of the conversation were still unpredictable. "I thought you were only interested in those vinyl records."

"It should be said that I am interested in music." Ronan corrected the key words of Ahmet's words--

The music can be a vinyl record, it can be a contract under discussion, or it can be the future of the band.

Ahmet lifted his chin slightly, and for the first time he showed a little concentration in his expression. It seemed that he was looking at Ronan. The thinker was looking at what is going on now, but even the moment of a slight deviation from the track was very short. In the blink of an eye, the focus and focal length converged on Ronan again.
