Chapter 58: Still the Sea and the Sky

Zheng Qian carefully read the contents of the contract.

Although he is not a law major, because he has been bound by contracts before, he can be said to be crazy about making up legal knowledge for a period of time in his memory, so he still has some understanding of the relevant legal traps.

After a few minutes, he took a deep breath and put down his file bag.

This contract is excellent for him, and it can even be said to be one of the best contracts on the market, and Universal Music is also very sincere, but the premise of everything is based on the condition that Zheng Qian can write five songs a month.

And these five songs must be recognized by the music director.

In addition, as long as Zheng Qian is willing, the additional songs created on the basis of five songs per month can be made into a solo album, and then Universal Music will fund it to help Zheng Qian release it.

But again, the premise of everything is to create five songs every month that satisfies the music director.

This is clearly one of the pitfalls.

In addition, this contract will be signed for five years, and within five years, all of Zheng Qian's announcements will be bound to Universal Music.

This is the most difficult for Zheng Qian to accept.

His experience is unforgettable, and it can even be said that if he was willing, when he returned to China a year ago, he chose a large company like Huaying Media to develop his career, rather than starting from a newly created small company with Lin Qianqian and Ren Xin.

Outsiders still don't know themselves after all.

The most important point is that Zheng Qian is actually not very optimistic about the record industry.

At this stage, piracy of various music sources is rampant on the Internet, in the birth of MP3 and even the gradual intellectualization of mobile phones today, the record industry can be said to have declined, Zheng Qian loves music, but in fact, he doesn't really want to bind himself to the music world, music may just be a stepping stone on his way to fame.

It's not like copyright has been formalized like it was a decade later.

Only first-line popular singers like Andy and Wang Fei can get a share of the record industry, even if they are as strong as Wei Yehong, it is fortunate to be able to return to their original costs when they release records in the mainland market, but the advantage is that countless pirated records and music sources can make her famous to a higher level, which can be regarded as comfort.

Zheng Qian put the file bag on the table and shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wan, I don't want to change jobs at this stage, no, I can tell Mr. Wan for sure, because I have the experience of being hidden by the brokerage company before, and my yearning for freedom far exceeds that of others, so I don't want my fate to be in the hands of others, and I can enjoy freedom to the greatest extent in Yuexiang Entertainment." ”

Wan Feng looked at Zheng Qian, opened his mouth, and finally sighed.

He wasn't too surprised.

Prior to this, at the company's internal meeting, he proposed to change the contract period to two years, or even one year, but this proposal was opposed by other executives at the meeting, artists were worried that they would be restricted, but Universal Music was more worried that after spending various resources to promote advertising, artists would dump them and jump to other companies.

Therefore, the five-year visa is a negotiated decision for all executives.

It's just that Wan Feng didn't expect that Zheng Qian was so taboo about the contract period, he was really bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

But he really appreciates Zheng Qian's talent, so after repeated persuasion to no avail, while regretting it, he suddenly changed his tone: "Maybe we can try to cooperate first, such as buying your original songs, you can rest assured, as long as the quality of the work is excellent, similar to "17 Years Old", or even songs like "I Really Love You", the price we offer is definitely higher than any funder on the market." ”

Zheng Qian pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Actually...... Mr. Wan, we can cooperate, I can let your company release my EP as an agent, what do you think?"

Although piracy is rampant in the mainland market, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the awareness of genuine copyright is high, and today's record market still has residual warmth, and even for the entire Southeast Asian market, there are still many opportunities to explode.

Zheng Qian didn't want to lose this opportunity, after all, he was already popular in Hong Kong.

If you add another fire, maybe you can burn even more?

Wan Feng smiled, he could see Zheng Qian's thoughts.

In fact, he was not disgusted with Zheng Qian's ambitions, which did not matter at all.

Just like those conditions hidden in the contract, as long as your work is good enough, everything is not a problem.

And he thinks Zheng Qian is very smart, and he doesn't ask the record company to release an album like a giant baby, he has seen too many talented newcomers with their mouths wide open, ignorant and ignorant.

But Zheng Qian is different, he is just very cautious to propose a cooperative EP.

The so-called EP is a mini album, commonly known as a thin disc, which usually contains only three to five tracks, no more than eight tracks, and the time is relatively short, usually around 15 to 20 minutes.

A real album, known as a blockbuster, generally contains at least 10 tracks and has no upper limit.

The production cost of the latter is significantly higher than that of EP records.

Wan Feng really admires Zheng Qian.

He thinks Zheng Qian is so smart.

And he is very optimistic about Zheng Qian's future development, if it were an ordinary person, he would have left at this moment, but now he is willing to give Zheng Qian this opportunity, only real musicians know how lonely the road under his feet is.

"If you can still write a high-quality song at the level of "I Really Love You", and it is a Cantonese song, then all the problems are not a problem. ”

Wan Feng looked at Zheng Qian's eyes, "If you can't write, then I'm sorry......"

Zheng Qian didn't give Wan Feng a chance to put pressure on him, he looked at the assistant: "Miss Sally, can you help me find a guitar next door?"

Sally looked at Wan Feng, then nodded obediently, and then pushed the door away.

Wan Feng's face was stunned at the moment: "You already have inspiration? impossible, such a short period of time...... Is it a song you've written before?"

Zheng Qian nodded: "Yes, it's called "Sea and Sky". ”

Wan Feng felt that this song title sounded familiar, and suddenly he reacted: "Isn't this the song you sang in the finals just now?"

"Well, the name is the same, but the content is different. ”

Zheng Qian raised the corners of his mouth.

Wan Feng felt that the blood in his heart was boiling a little.

He is a music director, with high musical attainments, known as a genius in the Hong Kong music scene, otherwise he would not have been hired as the music director of Universal Music, he can hear the greatness of the song "I Really Love You", he also came from the rock wave at the end of the last century, for such a top rock song, it is really exciting and trembling from the soul.

Therefore, he looked at Zheng Qian differently, because he could understand the talent of the singer who created "I Really Love You".

A moment later, Sally returned, followed by Song Weifeng.

At this moment, Song Weifeng was holding a guitar in his hand, looked at Zheng Qian curiously, and asked, "The guitar you want?"

"Yes, Director Song, you haven't gotten off work yet?" Zheng Qian said with a smile.

Song Weifeng sighed and said, "I was about to leave, and I saw Miss Sally looking for a guitar halfway, didn't I send it myself?"

In a few words, he knew that Zheng Qian was going to sing a new song, and he immediately didn't leave.

Zheng Qian didn't care, but after the guitar, he played a few notes briskly, tuned the piano slightly, and said to Wan Feng, "Start?"

"Let's get started!"

Wan Feng's eyes hid a fiery light.
