Chapter 31 Selling Songs?
"Weiyang, what do you think?"
On the bus back to school, Jing Bo'an scratched his head and asked anxiously.
Ye Weiyang did not answer, but asked, "What do you think, eight years can be accepted?"
"I don't know either, but after reading some gossip in the entertainment industry, it is said that newcomers need to sign for ten years, and eight years should be good." Puding shook his head in confusion.
"I'll listen to you." Wu Dawei said coldly.
Although his expression was cold, his words were quite warm.
Yang Xiao supported his hands on the back of his head and said lazily: "You are the lead singer and the captain. If you want to sign you, we don't know much about this."
"When did I become the captain?" Ye Weiyang was a little surprised.
The band members laughed and said in unison: "You are the captain."
All of a sudden, all the pressure came to Ye Weiyang.
It may be because the band is established under the connection between Ye Weiyang, or it may be because the two songs sung by the band were composed by Ye Weiyang, and the songs were very outstanding.
Everyone knew in their hearts that in the band, Ye Weiyang was the soul character, and only he could connect everyone, so the captain was naturally his.
It’s just that everyone hasn’t talked about this on weekdays, but in fact, they have long regarded Ye Weiyang as the captain in their hearts.
Now that this kind of thing involves the future development of the entire band, Ye Weiyang, the soul character, has to make a decision, and only Ye Weiyang can do this decision.
Because if anyone else makes a decision, if he regrets it in the future, he will definitely be blamed to death, but only Ye Weiyang. Even if he regrets the decision, no one will blame him.
Because the band exists because of Ye Weiyang, everyone revolves around him and becomes a team!
Seeing that everyone was counting on him to make a decision, Ye Weiyang sighed with some distress and said helplessly: "I still want to sign for only five years. If it is eight years, it will be a bit of a loss."
"I am very confident in our band. In five years, I will definitely become the top band in the Chinese music scene. By that time, working for an agency will not be better for myself."
"But the Rainbow Project will definitely not agree." Pudding shrugged, "It's not just the Rainbow Project, but the brokerage companies we contacted before, most of them asked us to sign a ten-year contract."
"Only those Internet celebrity operating companies have only signed for two or three years, but those companies are planning to make money quickly and have no intention of truly helping us develop in the music industry."
"I can even think that if we sign these Internet celebrity operating companies, we will face endless commercial performances and endless goods."
Ye Weiyang sighed again, Sure enough, everything in the world cannot be done well.
He did not consider these for the time being, but took out his cell phone and searched the company Rainbow Project online.
Before meeting Li Yating today, Ye Weiyang knew almost nothing about the Rainbow Project company.
It has only been less than a month since he came to this world. In such a short time, it is already good that he can understand the Chinese music scene in this world!
How can I have so much time to understand the agency behind these celebrities in the music industry?
After skillfully opening the browser and searching for the Rainbow Plan, a bunch of detailed information about the Rainbow Plan was presented to Ye Weiyang.
"Oh, the Rainbow Project Company is quite large."
"Business includes: music brand, music production and distribution, music planning and publicity, artist agency, performance conference preparation, mastering/lyrics and music copyright management, digital music platform, performing arts training schools, product integration marketing, this business scope is really bright."
"It covers almost all aspects that singers can access. It is indeed a large company with strong capital."
Yes, if the Rainbow Project Company is not large in scale, it will not be possible to operate the largest music festival in China, and it will definitely have strength.
After roughly understanding the company scale of the Rainbow Project, Ye Weiyang began to inquire about the artists under the Rainbow Project.
"Wow, there are so many artists under it!"
Ye Weiyang took a rough look and found that there were more than 30 contracted artists signed by the Rainbow Project, and more than a dozen of them were well-known in the Chinese music scene.
Among them are the King of Singers, there are also the first and second-tier singers of the Mesozoic generation, and there are also the new generation of traffic singers, and there are also folk singers who are more independent music. It can be said that they are all-encompassing, and the three generations of old, middle-aged and young are all complete.
Ye Weiyang clicked on the personal encyclopedia of the largest contracted artist of the Rainbow Project, the veteran superstar Li Zonggang, and read it with relish.
To understand the strength of an agency, the best way to see how the company's ace contracted artist develops.
Li Zonggang is 43 years old this year. He debuted in 1998 and was nearly 20 years old when he debuted!
In 2003, in the most golden era of the Chinese music scene, it became popular in China with its album "The King of Love Songs", and its album sales exceeded one million!
In 2004, Li Zonggang struck while the iron was hot and released another fine album "A Inch of Heaven" and sold again, which established his position as a first-line singer in one fell swoop.
In the next ten years, Li Zonggang has been active in the Chinese music scene, and has released five or six albums one after another, with very good sales. He has held more than a dozen national concerts every year, and is very popular and is known as an evergreen in the music scene.
However, after entering 2015, the post-00s who were influenced by the Internet era gradually became the main force of star chasing. The new generation of singers who became popular on the Internet, as well as some returning traffic that debuted in foreign countries and then returned to China to develop, gradually made the reputation of the older generation of singers such as Li Zonggang begin to decline sharply.
Although Li Zonggang is still recognized as a veteran singer and is still very well-known, his popularity and popularity are far inferior to the new generation of singers.
The songs he published in recent years have no longer caused any splash.
Now Li Zonggang's situation is becoming more and more awkward. He is very famous, but he is far behind the market and is somewhat unable to keep up with the rhythm of the entertainment industry.
The Rainbow Project has not thought about changing this situation. It has helped Li Zonggang tailor a lot of transformation plans in the past few years, but none of them are very successful...
Gradually, Li Zonggang is now a bit like a mascot in the Rainbow Project, which is the feeling that he is very famous and has a high status, but no one cares about it...
Thinking of these, Ye Weiyang slapped his thighs violently!
He suddenly had a bold idea!
If he could sell him a song suitable for Li Zonggang to make the old singer famous again, he would not only show his own strength, but also use it to ask for a contract with the Rainbow Project to make more concessions!
After all, which agency does not want to sign an all-round artist who has the strength and can make other artists famous in the company and help the company create stars?
If one song "Stubborn" is an accident, and the other song "The First Day" is luck, but as the saying goes, there are only three things!
Let’s have another excellent original song, which can prove Ye Weiyang’s strong “original strength”?
You know, an excellent songwriter will definitely become the target of all music companies scramble for!
Any music company will be willing to sign it at all costs!
After all, an excellent singer can only sing and become popular, but an excellent songwriter can make many singers famous!
As long as Ye Weiyang can take out enough chips, he will definitely take the initiative at the negotiating table!
Do it as soon as you say it!
Thinking of this, Ye Weiyang immediately looked up and asked the band members: "Did anyone bring paper and pen?"
Everyone shook their heads and went out to participate in the music festival performance. Who would bring that thing with you if you had nothing to do?
never mind.
Ye Weiyang simply picked up his mobile phone, opened the memo, created a new document, and prepared to copy the first song on site.
"Which one is better to copy..."
"Have it!"
Ye Weiyang, who kept thinking about which song is suitable for singing by Li Zonggang, could make him famous again in one fell swoop. Soon, he thought of a song in his heart, a classic song created by a music master in his previous life who was only one word short of Li Zonggang's name!
This song is really suitable for Li Zonggang, who is in trouble at this time!
I saw his fingers flexibly starting to type on the memo.
On the phone, a question soon appeared in the blank memo.
"The Hill"
Chapter completed!
