In other words, to be realistic, major companies think, why do you, a layman like Xu Song, have to get involved? Isn’t it good to do your own thing well?
Isn’t it good if professional things are done by professionals? Why do we have to have amateurs do expert things?
In a general sense, organizing an album refers to some relatively basic work. The average singer, even Jay Chou, only completes the writing and recording of the songs, and also participates in the post-production, and that's it.
But Xu Song took care of everything. Even the paper used for the album lyrics had to be in a format he thought was appropriate.
As for the record company, there is only one task left, which is to promote this record, that's all!
In the eyes of many companies, this is simply meddling in other people's business and not overestimating one's capabilities!
In fact, Zhang Yicheng also prefers to let professional people do professional things. Xu Song's own talent lies in songwriting and songwriting. Why do he have to do something he doesn't understand at all? Moreover, Xu Song didn't have any experience at all before this.
If he has experience, he must ask others to hand over all the work to him. It is difficult for any company with a little sense to agree to such a request!
Although Zhang Yicheng doesn't know why Xu Song has such a big obsession to produce an album by himself, after all, a person's energy is limited!
So Xu Song has become famous since 2007, but it wasn't until 2011 that he finally signed himself out. Although Haidie Company was very bold in signing all the albums to Xu Song, it turns out that Xu Song did it all.
The sales of his album were mediocre. It was Xu Song's third album. The first two albums received mediocre response and the album was not popular. It can also be said that it was because there was no company to promote it, but the third album was promoted by Haidie.
of
Although Haidie is not as good as giants like Sony Warner, it is still a very powerful company that has created well-known artists such as Adu, JJ Lin, Jinsha, and by2.
Moreover, the boss of Haidie was also a well-known musician in his early years, and his vision and means were naturally impeccable. With such conditions, he still failed. This cannot be said to be the reason why he was not recommended by record companies.
But there is something wrong with the album itself!
This is a very naked reality, there is no way, it is just the fact!
However, although Xu Song's three albums have received a mediocre response, it does not mean that he is not a good singer. In fact, Xu Song's high popularity is not in vain. It is accumulated song by song. Xu Song is still very popular.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yicheng finally decided to sign Xu Song. After all, the response to Xu Song's album was mediocre, which was caused by more objective reasons. Xu Song himself is still very capable.
"Yeah!" Xu Song is also a little helpless. There are many companies that are interested in him, but he has not been able to sign him so far. This surprises many people, because Internet singers like him usually can only sign with a company.
If you come to find someone, they usually sign you out, because unlike reality, the Internet is a huge platform, which not only gives many people a chance to show their talents, but also makes the industry of online singers become fiercely competitive.
Yes, if the competition among singers in the past can only be described as fierce, then in the field of online singers, it can only be described as cruel.
Because the Internet is too easy to become popular and too forgetful, think about it, among the so-called first-generation Internet celebrities before him, there are still several people who are still active on the Internet stage!
They became famous because of one song, but they were quickly forgotten because they only had one song!
In the normal music scene, you can still make a living with your face, but on the Internet, who cares whether you are handsome or not, because most people listen to music casually and are not directed at anyone at all.
I just went to listen to it, so if you want to stand out in it, you must be talented, and you must be very talented, and keep producing good songs. Only in this way can you stand out.
And everyone knows that there is no way out as an Internet singer, and in the end they can only be locked away by the Internet with a super-fast metabolism. In a few years, when this name is mentioned again, some people may still remember it, but it will only be
That's it
If they don't want to be forgotten, they have to switch to a regular company. Therefore, many online singers sign a contract in a hurry whenever a company comes to them. Many times they cry out that they have been cheated, but this is like fate and there is no way!
Among the companies that came to Xu Song, there were still quite a few with very good qualifications and considerable achievements, but Xu Song still did not sign a contract.
Just for that condition, a condition that everyone seems impossible to agree to!
However, Xu Song felt a little happy when he heard what Zhang Yicheng said. Zhang Yicheng knew his conditions and could still come to his door. Is he really willing to agree?
Although Tianlan Entertainment is not well-known at all, the entertainment industry is so big that there are many companies that I have never heard of, but not having heard of them does not mean that they are not strong!
But there are too few people who are willing to agree. Xu Song also knows that his request seems so incredible to many bosses!
"In fact, in my opinion, it is impossible for ordinary people to agree to your request!" Zhang Yicheng said, "Although I don't know why you insist on arranging an album yourself!"
"But everyone has their own reasons for not agreeing!" Zhang Yicheng said, "I don't think you have to insist on organizing an album yourself. An album contains too many processes and procedures, for example,
What kind of paper should be used for the album cover? Of course there are more professional people in charge of this kind of thing. They have been doing it for so many years and they naturally have research and know what is good and what is bad. They are in charge, so why do you have to
How about mixing it in?"
"Let's talk about music production. Producing an album is different from releasing songs one by one like you used to. You have to take into account the coordination of the album, etc. These are all done by professional personnel. Isn't it more important?
Okay?" Zhang Yicheng said
"I feel that many times they are unable to implement my musical ideas, and many times they are unable to fully implement them," Xu Song said
"So you plan to do it yourself?" Zhang Yicheng said, "But Xu Song, they have been doing this for many years. They are more professional than you and understand better than you what the market needs. In other words, they understand your audience better.
