"Now, let me tell you why you can choose us." Yu Feiyang said, "We have worked with more than 30 singers and musicians. We give them full freedom. I am also a musician.
, I know very well what people who make music are thinking in their heads, and you cannot interfere. Once you interfere, if you tell them what to do and how to do it, it will be ruined. They must have full creative freedom."
"The contracts are similar in the industry. After all, the company has to make money, and I can't give you special preferential treatment. But I can say that there is no problem in the contract, and what is due will be given. On the other hand, although we are a small company
, but some of them have first-class partners and promotion resources in the industry, which may not be comparable to those of major labels. However, the resources of major labels will themselves be dispersed and will be given to many of their artists, and the management system of major labels for artists is
It belongs to the Asian system. This system originated from Japan and South Island. This system is basically the reference in China. In this system, artists and singers are just commodities. The emphasis is on creating idol managers, and the implementation of these artists and singers must be extremely strict.
management.”
"This idol management system requires labels and companies to maintain the image and value of products, so it imposes restrictions on artists and singers. For example, they are not allowed to fall in love, and there are regulations on their appearance, exposure, and the number of commercial performances they can participate in.
.”
"Our systems are different, and our principles are also different. We regard every artist and their works as partners who grow and progress with the company. We are living people, our communication is humane, and our
The purpose is to enable singers to succeed, and as partners, we can work together and share this success."
Yu Feiyang said, "So I respect them first. We are willing to help some underground music get a chance to stand out, and we will help musicians manage their copyrights so that they can continue to make profits through their own creations. Our purpose is
To truly discover good music and promote this industry, these practices need to form a set of industry chain models... This is the future path of the company."
Yu Feiyang was not sure whether Chen Yiwen could fully understand that these systems and the company's concepts were all taking shape. He laid out all these things for him, and also directly asked Chen Yiwen to take the message to Cheng Lvren behind him.
Chen Yiwen listened to Yu Feiyang's words and had a better impression of him at this time. Faced with his appearance as a college student, he did not try to win over or deceive him in order to get him to sign the contract. On the contrary, he was a tough guy.
Analyze your own strengths, company assumptions, and vision.
In this regard, this music boss is very down-to-earth.
He has actually identified this company. Indeed, as Yu Feiyang said, there are many rules for signing with a major label, and although they have many resources, there are also many people who share the pie, and the management system is also very strict. On the contrary,
An independent recording studio like Yu Feiyang can give him full freedom, and this company cannot control and restrict him. This is the best situation at present.
Chen Yiwen asked, "What is the contract ratio?"
"Will you sing this song?"
Chen Yiwen shook his head, "I'm still in school now and have no such plans."
Yu Feiyang said, "Then it's up to us to find the singer. Of course, if you have a singer you can recommend, or a singer you like that you think is suitable, you can also mention it to us, and we can find a way to connect it. And such a good song
Song, I believe there will be people rushing to get it. Even big-name singers will perform in person."
Yu Feiyang still had some confidence in this, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud when he spoke. But after a pause, he added, "To be honest, it's a bit of a loss if you don't sing it yourself... This song is enough to make your debut."
"
In fact, he felt it was a bit of a pity that Chen Yiwen's photogenic appearance was actually quite good, in line with the temperament of the song. He was the original singer, and he must be good at singing it himself. They are also an independent label themselves, and they packaged it like this.
Chen Yiwen's amateurishness is actually a plus.
Yu Feiyang had many plans for packaging him flashing through his mind, including the uninhibited and decadent style, the sexy style, and the youthful style with stories.
Chen Yiwen shook his head, "I just want to finish my studies now."
Yu Feiyang nodded. It seems that everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced.
He wants to finish his studies first, which is not a bad reason. After all, musicians are still relatively poor. People who have not finished college and come out to follow him to make music are not afraid of ten thousand or just what happens. He cannot bear the responsibility of this life.
.
Of course, under this condition, Chen Yiwen can transfer at any time after graduating from university.
Yu Feiyang glanced at the subordinate next to him. Song Wen said, "After the song is produced, we will promote and sell it with the platform we cooperate with. The sales share is as follows. Originally, the songwriter got 20%, and the singer of the song got 20%."
30%, and the company gets 50%.”
Chen Yiwen looked like he was considering it. In fact, this number was pretty good, but Chen Yiwen still kept the pace of the negotiation. He couldn't seem too hasty.
Yu Feiyang added, "This is usually the case, but here, I can give you a preferential treatment, giving up 10% of the company's share to subsidize the songwriters. We also hope that Mr. Cheng, who is Cheng Qingren, can create better works in the future.
"
"As for other advertising or peripheral income, it will also be divided according to this share."
That's no problem.
Chen Yiwen knew that some darker labels would buy out lesser-known songwriters at a fixed price, and the buyout price was not high. He also thought about giving small songwriters a share. With such a high ratio, Yu Feiyang's "Flying Recording"
"Shed" is pretty good in this regard.
Chen Yiwen nodded, "Basically no problem. I will think about it for one more day and then I will reply to you."
"Okay." Yu Feiyang nodded.
When the two parties were about to break up, Yu Feiyang pointed to the tree on the roadside and said, "When I was building a skyscraper recording studio, I had a concept. The content is like the leaves of the tree. The branches are the things that carry the leaves, and they are the threads.
The music below is a music festival, variety show, design, etc. The structure supports the content. And these are like the tree, even if it is just a sapling, but if you keep doing this, one day it will grow into a tree.
A big tree with luxuriant branches. Every day from the establishment of our skyscraper recording studio to its existence, we have always been on the road of discovering good music and good musicians.
Finding music that doesn't belong to this world and making it available is what we've been doing."
Chen Yiwen nodded, "What a coincidence. We have very similar ideas."
…
One day later, Chen Yiwen replied to Yu Feiyang that the contract could be signed.
Then Xu Jiaen and Song Wen were responsible for contacting Chen Yiwen. In the next few days, they handed over the contract to Chen Yiwen. The contract was not complicated and did not have many complicated details. Chen Yiwen could clearly see the rights and responsibilities.
The division was very clear. He could handle a contract of this level by virtue of his two lifetime experience, without the need to find a professional lawyer.
The contract is indeed as Yu Feiyang said, and the treatment is very lenient and preferential.
Chen Yiwen signed it.
During this process, Motian Music did not ask him for the contact information of "Cheng Lvren". Indeed, as they said, full respect and freedom were given to the creators. This is also why Chen Yiwen chose this company.
During this process, someone somehow got his mobile phone number and contacted him.
I also want to sing. Or ask him if he needs promotion, and make an appointment to meet.
Chen Yiwen had initially felt the wave of traffic fermented on the Internet, interfering with the corners of his life.
After he rejected this wave.
Now I have to compose the music as soon as possible.
The music was composed and handed over to Ferris Music for distribution, so that the traffic that paid attention to him could be taken away.
Of course, Ferris Recording Studio can also make a statement first and obtain the copyright of the lyricist, but this is meaningless. Only by promoting the song through the resources of Ferris Recording Studio can we focus on "who wrote and who composed this song".
"Original Singing" has shifted the focus away from the issue.
…
Fortunately, making music scores is not a difficult task. For the main melody, he only needs to play the music once according to the content in his memory. There are so many music production tools in this time and space, and music scores can be automatically generated just by analyzing the melody.
Chen Yiwen bought a professional music analysis software, and the prize money from the video competition in Kali was also paid into his account. Thirty thousand yuan was lying in his account. Because the organizing committee was sponsored by the municipal government, there was no need to pay taxes on the prize money. It was real money.
Get it in your hand.
Chen Yiwen borrowed a small classroom with no one in the department and spent an afternoon making music scores. He originally thought it would be an easy task, but actually found it to be quite time-consuming.
After repeated attempts many times, he tried to restore the structure of the main theme of the original song as much as possible. There were still mistakes in some places, and it obviously felt that it was not that smooth. But he couldn't remember it so clearly. He only felt that it was **10% in line with the original song.
The degree of curvature is almost the same.
After spending an afternoon like this, Chen Yiwen's "barely composed music score" can be considered completed. It is close to 90% of the original version.
He gave the music score to Motian Music, and Motian Music made some arrangements based on the original plan, removing the abrupt and rough parts, filling them in, adding icing on the cake, and enriching the music. These are not the things he can do.
The professional field.
After talking with each other in the past two days, Xu Jiaen and Song Wen were both good at music. If Chen Yiwen hadn't possessed those things from another time and space, they would have easily beaten him ten times in terms of music.
The song is in intensive production and has to wait for the final version from Ferris Music to be finalized.
Chen Yiwen also received contact from Liu Qirong.
It's still about the "New Year's film" thing. It seems that Liu Qirong has remembered it. After finishing the things at hand, he started to think about it.
Liu Qirong made an appointment to communicate with the "master" in Chen Yiwen's words.
Chen Yiwen logged into another WeChat account at this time, and accepted Liu Qirong's invitation to add a friend in the new friend list.
After two people added each other.
There was silence for a while.
Liu Qirong didn't talk to him.
Chen Yiwen thought for a while and responded using his expert account, "Hello, Director Liu."
In fact, after Liu Qirong added "Expert", he browsed the other party's circle of friends and found nothing there. However, his profile caught his attention, "Tang Zong Song Zu, a little less charming... Counting the famous figures, let's look at the present..."
"What a loud tone!" Liu Qirong thought to himself.
At this time, the other party actually took the initiative to send a message and called himself "Director Liu". Liu Qirong felt that it was not as arrogant as Chen Yiwen said! When facing me, Liu Qirong, no matter who you are, you still have to respectfully shout "
Director Liu!" Ah.
So Liu Qirong asked: "What is your name?"
After waiting for a while, Ding! The message came back.
Liu Qirong, look again.
The response was: "The layman Qinglian banished him to the immortals, and the wine shop has a hidden name of thirty springs."
Liu Qirong: "..."
Are you telling me that you are a banished immortal?
There is also the second half of the sentence, and then it comes again.
"Why should Sima Huzhou ask? Jinsu Tathagata is the descendant."
