Chen Linzhi's songs are incomplete and lack ready-made arrangements.

But he has already sung the tune when he sings, and even if he goes to the conservatory and finds a few random students, he can easily make up a complete accompaniment according to his singing, which is not a big problem.

So a Universal Music executive named Andre Brolin, after listening to the audition tape several times, thought the songs were very good, and took the liberty of contacting the black superstar and playing them over the phone.

Universal Music is currently working closely with Michael Jackson, and Andre Brolin knows that the other party is considering a new album.

Rather than helping a newcomer release a record, he undoubtedly wants to give good songs to Michael Jackson and strive for maximum benefits.

As for Jenny Campbell, how much is a subordinate's face worth?

At this moment.

Andre Brolin, like any other newcomer, tried to take the initiative into his own hands, and wanted to take the song "Yo" for $30,000.

The idea is beautiful.

You can put it into the album with a little change, and you don't even need to modify the lyrics, which sounds quite moving and has the potential to be a big hit.

It's a pity that Chen Linzhi is Chen Linzhi.

After listening, he knew very well what Andre Brolin was thinking, and walked to the window to wave to the executive, who had a spacious office, and said

"Look down and look at that brand new Ferrari, 288to, there are no more than thirty in the whole of America, it's one of my collections.

Thirty thousand dollars, just enough to buy a supercar like this, it's useless to me, you know? As much as I like Mr. Michael Jackson very much, and know how much he will help me when he sings my songs, I won't sell him songs, but I can consider cooperating, and I'm willing to take the time to help him create a few songs, and trust me, he's going to like it very much. ”

Andre Brolin instantly understood that he had met a master who was not bad for money, and he couldn't look down on a mere $30,000 at all.

Seeing Chen Linzhi's sharp and arrogant way of speaking, Jenny Campbell not only didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but finally understood why Anastasia was with him.

Guessing that Chen Linzhi is also one of the wealthy people in the upper circle? It is far from being as simple as it seems.

This is thanks to a group of people who have helped to prop up the field in the Western world, so that many white and black people can understand that Asians can be rich, and not only the white-robed tycoons who dig for oil in the Middle East are rich.

Looking at Anastasia again, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Although she knew that Chen Linzhi's way of speaking was not the attitude that people should have, she liked it and felt that there was no need to care.

André Brolin is used to dealing with celebrities with arrogant attitudes.

Seeing that this road did not work, he decided to change his approach? continued, "Great car? The price I said is just an intention, you can sit down and talk slowly, what do you want to drink? coffee or tea? The person who fell in love with this song is Michael, and his fans are all over the world, and I can't imagine anyone who doesn't want to put his name on his album cover. ”

After introducing each other, we sat down on the office couch together.

Jenny Campbell took the initiative to make a good impression in front of her boss and went to the pantry to help them make coffee.

Chen Linzhi said

"Of course I admire Mr. Michael Jackson, but I'm here today to release my own record? he wants to buy songs and I can write them for him, and I'm going to keep them for myself.

If you think it's okay? Then I'm going to work with Universal Music? I'm coming from San Francisco to Los Angeles this time, and I'm still in a trade order of tens of millions of dollars, so it's best to finish the discussion. ”

Aggressiveness is to take the initiative, just like any other business.

Chen Linzhi no matter what his image is in the hearts of others, being a good person is far from being affordable to increase the share ratio by a few points, so he deliberately shows off, wanting to leave an impression in Andre Brolin's heart that he is "not easy to deal with".

In fact, Chen Linzhi did succeed.

At first glance, when he heard that Chen Linzhi was the owner of the company, and the business scale was as high as tens of millions of US dollars, Andre Brolin was envious in his heart.

Thinking that at my own age, with 90 hours of hard work a week to climb to this position, how can it be so easy for others to succeed?

If you want to have an equal dialogue, just show your strength with your fists.

Andre saw that Chen Linzhi was unwilling to talk about selling songs at all, and he was worried about boasting about Haikou in front of Michael before, and was thinking about how to reply.

If you are a bystander, you can still rely on your power to take a few strokes, Chen Linzhi is not short of money, and she is not stupid to look at, and she looks like a hedgehog with nowhere to go in Andre's eyes.

For a while, I had nowhere to go, and I felt that it was quite tricky.

So after thinking for a while, André Brolin asked tentatively, "I've heard your songs, they're all good songs, yes, I don't know what kind of cooperation method you want to use, become a signed singer of our company, or just just want to release a record of your own?"

"It's not easy to entrust your company to distribute and sell records on your behalf, and it is not easy to sign a contract with you, you know, I have other businesses to be busy, and it is no problem to cooperate with you occasionally to promote, but it is impossible to fully devote myself to this industry. I've recently hired someone to register a private equity firm, and I'm going to invest millions of dollars in the foreign exchange futures market, so I'm afraid it's going to be very busy. ”

Chen Linzhi opened and closed his mouth to show off.

It's not really the nouveau riche mentality, for fear that others won't know that they have money.

He is playing psychological warfare with the other party, and he clearly tells the other party that he has other options, and he does not necessarily have to cooperate with Universal Music.

The reason is that during lunch, Jenny Campbell inadvertently introduced the distribution process, singers often choose to sign a professional brokerage company, and the brokerage company arranges for the music production company to complete the record production, and then hand it over to the publicity team to promote, and finally the distribution company sells it.

On the premise of being sure of his own songs, Chen Linzhi considered investing in the production of records, holding the copyright in his own hands, and only looking for a publicity team and distribution company to sell on his behalf, which has the disadvantage of being more busy, but the profit can be much higher.

After cultivating a brain that likes to make money, Chen Linzhi likes to settle accounts more and more.

knows that the other party will not take the initiative to back down because he is talented and give more commissions, but he will take some real benefits in order to win a batch of good songs, and it is necessary to be arrogant in this situation.

Andre Brolin really didn't treat Chen Linzhi as an "ordinary person" at the moment, nodded and replied, "If you want to increase album sales, you must hold book signings, participate in TV shows and concerts and other activities, but if you choose to cooperate with us, of course we will communicate and negotiate with you in advance." Our company has a full range of services, including a factory for the production of vinyl records and cassette tapes, and there is no problem with publicity, so it is definitely a good idea to come and work with us. ”

"If I sell a record, how much can I get, the copyright must belong to me, and you take a cut of the distribution fee. By the way, my girlfriend is a relative of Sam Walton, so when the time comes, help me arrange the record in the most prominent place in the Walmart supermarket?"

Anastasia immediately nodded and told Chen Linzhi, "Even if you put the poster at the gate, it's no problem, I will ask my aunt for help, she is usually very good to me, and your songs are also very good." ”

Talking about this in front of Andre Brolin, Andre began to struggle for the sharing ratio, but he didn't expect Chen Linzhi to have this relationship, Walmart has been one of their company's important sales channels in recent years.

Until now, he didn't realize that from the moment Chen Linzhi entered the door and opened his mouth, the rhythm of the conversation was firmly controlled by Chen Linzhi.

Andre felt at this time that Chen Linzhi would definitely not be happy if the share ratio was low, and if it was too high, it would be unruly, and other independent singers would be dissatisfied and were weighing the pros and cons.

In the end, I naturally thought that I should be a little higher than other independent singers, and almost forgot that Chen Linzhi was still a newcomer, without any real achievements, and was a complete newcomer.

Compared with asking someone to release a record, it's like a cooperation between two companies.

André Brolin replied: "We are responsible for the distribution and sales and recording of the songs, and the sales of this film are huge, and the promotion is more expensive. A record gives you up to 12% of the copyright share, which means that if a record sells for 20 dollars, you can get 2 dollars and 40 cents, which is almost the treatment of second-tier singers, and we will also help you equip the work team, including agents, makeup artists, public relations, etc., the company's facilities you can use at will, plus concerts, advertising and other income. ”

Chen Linzhi saw Jenny Campbell's surprise after hearing this, and guessed that this treatment should be really good in the industry, but instead he deliberately frowned, and asked rhetorically, "At most, it's just like this? Baidai Records has better conditions, saying that as long as I hand over the record to them for distribution, they will give me a considerable fee, and also said that they have the opportunity to become a platinum record, and will promote it for me with all their might." ”

Andre didn't know if it was true or not, but he replied, "You have to keep the copyright yourself, and you haven't had time to cooperate with the publicity, this is already the best offer, unless you are willing to sell that song to Michael, I will help you increase the commission by an additional one percent." His vision is too high, he rarely likes any song, as long as you are willing to sell, I will help you get the highest offer, how about it?"

The song is in the hands of Chen Linzhi and Michael Jackson, which are completely different things, and Andre feels that the opportunity to be the title song of Michael's next album has a great effect on stimulating sales.

Compared with the profits that may be obtained here, it is too cost-effective to give Chen Linzhi an extra point of share
