Chapter 78: How to Convince Xu Song 【Happy New Year】
If you can hire excellent talents, it doesn't matter if you have to work hard. The problem is, even if you work hard, you may not be able to recruit them in many cases!
Although in Zhang Yicheng's eyes, a person like Xu Song who is popular, capable and has certain experience is considered a top-notch newcomer, but this kind of newcomer also has a characteristic, that is, it is difficult to sign, just like the situation Zhang Yicheng encountered before.
Normally sweet
Although Zhang Yicheng maintains certain contact with Jing Tian through Yang Guang's channels, Jing Tian is not very enthusiastic about signing in Zhang Yicheng's company, or in other words, he has no idea. To be fair, he has never thought about signing in.
Zhang Yicheng's company
Zhang Yicheng knew this well. The so-called good birds choose trees to roost in. This is a normal choice. His company is indeed not very good.
A big company naturally has its benefits. For example, the resources that a big company has are unmatched by him. A big company can praise a person in several movies and TV series in a row, but Zhang Yicheng cannot do that. Of course, this requires
The probability that they are valued by those in big companies and are willing to specifically praise them is much lower than that of being valued in small companies!
But there are still many people who want to get rich from big companies, and it’s not without reason!
However, Zhang Yicheng is not discouraged. Most of the resources owned by those large companies are similar, nothing more than money and connections. Although Zhang Yicheng does not have these for the time being, it does not mean that he will not have them in the future. But what Zhang Yicheng has is something they will never be able to have, that is
Rebirth, insights and knowledge from the future, which they can never have
As long as this memory remains, Zhang Yicheng has nothing to worry about!
Zhang Yicheng naturally has Zhang Yicheng's capital!
But the difficulty of signing is not a reason not to sign!
Nothing in this world is particularly easy and can be done casually!
So he came anyway, and at least he was not turned away in person, otherwise the problem would be huge!
Zhang Yicheng smiled slightly: "Yes, I am now the person in charge of this company!"
Zhang Yicheng's sincere smile made Xu Song quite fond of Zhang Yicheng!
"Come in and sit down!" Xu Song said
At this time, Xu Song's roommates have all gone home, leaving only Xu Song. Xu Song is a native of Hefei, so he doesn't have to rush back to spend the summer vacation like others, but he can pack his things leisurely.
The classmate who sent Zhang Yicheng here saw the two chatting and went back quickly.
Zhang Yicheng sat down on a bed and said with a smile: "Sorry, I took the liberty of disturbing classmate Xu Song today!"
"It's okay!" Xu Song smiled and shook his head. Although he had experience in dealing with people from other companies, he had never dealt with such a high-level CEO.
Zhang Yicheng looked at Xu Song and thought about how to persuade Xu Song. Among the artists he has signed so far, Yang Guang and Huang Yilin have a very good relationship and are excellent brothers.
, only then signed under his banner, and Benxi was because she had a strong desire to enter the entertainment industry and had no other channels, and Zhang Yicheng was willing to train her, and for all the reasons, Yuanyuan was completely
In order to reduce the burden on the family, in other words, make money!
But these are not applicable to Xu Song. First of all, the relationship between Xu Song and Zhang Yicheng is just average. Maybe they just have a good impression and that's it!
Secondly, Xu Song’s channels are not comparable to Benxi. Many people have approached him one after another!
As for money, it is not a problem for Xu Song. Isn’t there a saying? It’s difficult to play music without a little money. You must know that Xu Song even released a record by himself, which sounds ridiculous to many people.
A night story, it would have been impossible ten years ago. Now, as music becomes more and more popular, it is possible, but the problem is that it is impossible for ordinary people to do it without money. Release an album.
Even if it's less, it's at least over one million, and that doesn't include a series of issues such as laying out sales channels.
Even with Xu Song's talent, he can save a considerable amount of money for singing invitations, and he has no sales channels himself, etc., Xu Song's first album will not cost that much, but it is less important to say the least.
Hundreds of thousands were spent. Although Xu Song had many fans, all they could do was buy on Xu Song's personal website. In fact, not many were sold. In the end, Xu Song was able to recoup the capital.
Amazing
After that, Xu Song released a second album. It cannot be said that this was earned by Xu Song himself, and that it had to be paid for by his family. In other words, a family that dares to spend hundreds of thousands to let their son play music,
How could it be an ordinary family, how could it be short of money, so it was impossible to impress Xu Song with money!
What's more, Zhang Yicheng really can't spend any money to impress Xu Song!
He couldn't possibly invest all his money in Xu Song, otherwise no one else would want him!
Then it is destined that he can only find a breakthrough from other places!
Zhang Yicheng suddenly had an idea in his mind!
"I guess you should also know my purpose of coming!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile.
"Yes!" Xu Song nodded. It was not difficult to guess Zhang Yicheng's reason for coming. He just came to sign him. He had encountered this many times during this period, so it was not surprising at all.
Zhang Yicheng said: "So I would like to ask you to consider my company!"
"I'm sorry, in fact, many people came to me before you." Xu Song said, rubbing the back of his head. The meaning is obvious. Other people's companies are much more famous than yours. I don't agree with them. Why should I sign in yours?
company!
"Haha!" Zhang Yicheng said with a chuckle, "Indeed, compared to the company's strength, our company has just been established and is not the opponent of many established companies!"
"But a company's comprehensive strength is not limited to these hardware capabilities!" Zhang Yicheng said, "If the entertainment industry only competes for this kind of hardware conditions, there won't be many companies that stand out every year!"
This is the charm of the entertainment industry. Just like football is round, no one knows who the winner of the next game will be. Even if it is a game between a club giant and a second-tier team that seems to be very different,
No one dares to say that the giants will definitely win. There have been too many dark horse overturns in history.
The same is true in the entertainment industry. When it comes to making movies, how many small-invested movies have overtaken the so-called big-budget movies. These are not the only cases. Movies that were originally very inconspicuous suddenly exploded and became popular movies of the year, such as the previous ones.
"Crazy Stone", with only a few million investments, "Crazy Stone" became the biggest dark horse of the year!
The same is true in the music world. If hardware conditions alone can determine everything, then Xu Song will be eliminated first because his hardware conditions are much worse than Zhang Yicheng!
He doesn't have a company and doesn't have a lot of money. In terms of conditions, aren't they even worse than Zhang Yicheng?
Regarding Zhang Yicheng's statement, Xu Song couldn't find anything else to say to refute it for a while!
There is a saying that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are useless. This illustrates the role of strength!
But this strength is comprehensive strength, and hardware conditions are just a part of comprehensive strength. No matter how good the hardware conditions are, if the software strength cannot keep up, it will be useless.
Zhang Yicheng smiled and said: "As far as I know, many companies have approached you before, but you have not agreed, so I dare to come to you!"
Xu Song was even more confused when he heard this. What does it mean that he dared to come to him because he rejected many companies? Shouldn't it be the opposite, that he did not dare to come to him because he rejected many companies?
"As far as I know, there should be quite a few of those companies that are pretty good!" Zhang Yicheng said. Although the company that came to Xu Song was not a giant company like EMI, there were also quite a few medium-sized music companies that were pretty good!
You know, in the entertainment industry, the real main force is these medium-sized music companies. How many big companies are there in total and how many artists can they support? The real main force is still these medium-sized music companies. Zhang Yicheng believes that Xu Song is not the kind of person who only focuses on
The unwise man who runs a major music company
You must know that music kings like Jay Chou are just from medium-sized record companies like Alpha Records.
So a truly wise person will not just focus on big companies.
"But you didn't choose them, so I believe the size of the company should not be the reason for your choice!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile. After clarifying the thoughts in his mind, he gradually became more confident. He believed in his own judgment.
Xu Song saw Zhang Yicheng's promise and finally believed that Zhang Yicheng was indeed well prepared and had done some research before talking!
"Before I came here, I did some research and heard about some of your requests!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile.
In fact, many record company bosses are aiming at Xu Song's value. People are constantly approaching Xu Song to discuss cooperation and signing contracts. However, Xu Song's request is that he must independently create and produce the first album. The company is only responsible for promotion and distribution. Obviously
, no one has the guts to take on this case
No one can really take on this case. You must know that with the gradual development of time, there are fewer and fewer people who seemed to be all-rounders in the past. The same is true in the entertainment industry, more and more specialists are displayed.
And there are fewer and fewer all-rounders, the process of an album is becoming more and more complex, there are more and more procedures to go through, and more and more people are participating!
How can anyone rest assured that one person has to do all the work? Of course professional things need to be done by professionals, such as mixing. Of course, there are professional people to do the mixing, and Xu Song should be included in it.
