"Xu Song, I can understand your musical philosophy and your persistence, but since you plan to release an album, you have to understand that this is a market economy, which means that everything revolves around the market!"
Zhang Yicheng said, "This album is not for you to listen to alone, but for everyone to listen to. How to satisfy more people is what you need to consider!"
"Nothing in the world is absolutely perfect, just like making movies. People say that our country is not as good as other Hollywood blockbusters because we don't have enough capital!" Zhang Yicheng added, "But our country's box office is like this, our country's economy is like this, it's not
The director has to invest as much money as he wants. This is the art of compromise. Whether it is politics, economy or military, or society, music, film and television, everything is the same. You have to learn to compromise. Compromise is not necessarily bad!"
Zhang Yicheng naturally knows Xu Song's thoughts. This is a common problem among art people, that is, pride. He has persistence and persistence in his works beyond everyone's imagination, for example, Aunt Qiong Yao!
Everyone knows how strict Aunt Qiong Yao is about her plays. Not only is she the screenwriter, but she is not allowed to change any line in her novel. Every line must be as written in the novel!
This almost pathological persistence has caused headaches for many companies that want to remake Aunt Qiong Yao, because times have changed, and many of Aunt Qiong Yao's original scenes are actually out of date and cannot be adapted without adaptation. However, Qiong Yao's request cannot be changed even a word!
Although Qiong Yao also tried to make modern adaptations, such as Zhang Yicheng's thunderous "The Princess" in her previous life, it was ultimately criticized for being completely damaged, and the ratings were horribly low, which shows that her attempt failed!
The attempt to please those born in the 1990s has completely failed. Not to mention those born in the 80s and 70s cannot accept it, nor can those born in the 90s accept it!
Jin Yong did this very well. If he didn't get involved, even if the adaptation failed, he wouldn't be blamed. Jin Yong's status was still the leader of the martial arts league, and no one could shake it. However, Qiong Yao was too involved, from the script to
Everyone has a hand in the selection of actors. Once it fails, there will be all kinds of scoldings, especially among the younger generation today. They have no great love for Aunt Qiong Yao and have not read her novels, so they will not feel that there is any.
What, Aunt Qiong Yao’s golden sign doesn’t protect her from being scolded!
After all, not many people born in the 90s recognize this gold medal. This is not the 1970s, when Qiong Yao dominated the entertainment industry!
"You can't do exactly what you want. They are professionals, you have to understand!" Zhang Yicheng said, "Besides, you can be said to have no experience at all before this. I think any company
I wouldn’t trust you to hand over the album to you!”
Xu Song's face suddenly turned pale. He didn't understand that it would be very difficult for any company to hand over an album to a rookie with no experience. After all, none of those record companies had worked hard to establish it.
Yes, who would rest assured that he would be wasted like this and let him mess around? He knew it in his heart, and it was not that he didn't understand it!
But his persistence in music has brought him all the way here. This is his pride, a pride that he can never let go of. He has decided not to give up his pride or his music no matter what others say!
But it is undeniable that he admitted that Zhang Yicheng's words moved him somewhat!
Yes, whether his persistence is worth it in the end, he has also thought about signing into the company. In fact, economic factors also play a large part!
Their family is indeed not short of money, but it is just that they are not short of money. Not being short of money is not the same thing as not being short of money. Their family can now spend hundreds of thousands to support him in playing music, but he cannot do it for the rest of his life.
He keeps taking it out at home, not to mention whether he can take it out, even if he can take it out, he doesn't want to do it!
And he didn't want to engage in any other job besides music, so signing with the company became the only option. But he also wanted to stick to music, so this created a situation where he couldn't get up or get down!
His situation is not urgent now. After all, he has not graduated yet, and he is still far away from finding a job, so he is not afraid, but it does not mean that nothing will happen!
"You must have heard about the current situation in the music industry. In Taiwan, where entertainment is the most developed, even a diva like Jolin Tsai can actually only sell a few tens of thousands of copies. A hundred thousand copies are a big deal. Just these 100,000 copies are still a lot of water.
!" Zhang Yicheng said
The current situation in the music scene is far worse than the glamorous appearance makes people feel!
Now when I listen to the record sales of those singers, they all have to be discounted, discounted, and then discounted to have a certain degree of credibility.
"In other words, the music industry is in a very sluggish situation right now. For most record companies, they can no longer make much money from records alone. Therefore, everyone is more careful about promoting any newcomers, for fear of
If something goes wrong, the album will fail miserably and we will lose all our money. Especially for small companies like us, we cannot afford any failure! They would rather have old people do everything, if possible!" Zhang Yicheng said in a persuasive way.
"Even under such circumstances, you still put forward such conditions. Do you think there is a 10% chance that a record company will agree to you!" Zhang Yicheng said
Xu Song's face changed slightly. Although he had been rejected by record companies before, no one gave him such a detailed analysis. If he thought it was difficult to complete an album alone, now he feels that it is simply impossible.
, Yes, in such a recession, the record company’s money did not come from strong winds. How could he have so much power casually?
It’s really too difficult!
"Then you are?" Xu Song looked at Zhang Yicheng!
"If I say, I am willing to give you such a chance, what do you think?" Zhang Yicheng looked at Xu Song with a smile.
"This" Xu Song is a little unbelievable. Didn't Zhang Yicheng just say so much that he wanted to refuse?
"But it's not the first album. You can learn from the first album, and then wait until you have enough understanding to thoroughly implement your own music concept. Look at Jay Chou, despite his current status in the music industry
No one can compare, but didn’t he also follow Wu Zongxian’s advice and become popular?” Zhang Yicheng naturally has Zhang Yicheng’s thoughts.
When the second and third albums come out, it’s not impossible to let him do it!
What I said above is just to pave the way for this!
"Do you agree to such conditions?" Zhang Yicheng said
