Chapter 421: A Million Golden Songs (2)

"Oh woman, perfume woman......"

In the interview room, Su Yue looked at the buddy in front of him with a painful face.

Long hair shawl, unshaven beard, closed eyes and affectionately playing, "Oh, woman, poisonous woman......"

He politely listened to the whole song, coughed twice, and said, "Uh, that's fine." We've got an idea of your situation, so go back and wait for the announcement. ”

"Then have I ever been?" the buddy has a dish on his face, and he estimates that he hasn't eaten a full meal in a few days.

"We need to study, you can go back first. ”

"No, if you don't think you can't do it, I'll sing another song...... Hey, I'm a singer-songwriter! Or you buy it first, don't you pay attention to creation, 10,000 yuan! 10,000 yuan!"

Su Yue also wanted to explain, Xu Fei directly let the security guard blast out, and said, "Don't waste time, next!"

"Okay!"

The little assistant clicked out and went to the reception room.

There were already eight people sitting inside, all with guitars on their backs, five with long hair, two bald heads, and they were playing music at first glance. After waiting for a long time, they were a little nervous, and one of them held a cup and kept drinking water.

"Zheng Yun!"

"Yes!"

He put down his teacup, got up and followed him out, to a room. Very relaxed environment, with a few sofas and two people sitting opposite.

Su Yue glanced at him a few times, with long hair, not tall, very handsome, and asked first: "Zheng Yun, right, a little impressed." I heard that Guo Chuanlin wants to sign you, why did you come here?"

Guo Chuanlin, who used to be the guitarist of the Black Panthers, later served as an agent, and was known as the fourth brother in the circle.

In 1987, Ding Wu formed the Black Panthers. The following year, Ding Wu left and formed his own Tang Dynasty, and Dou Xian'er joined as the lead singer.

Last year, Black Panther was favored by Hong Kong native Chan Kin Tim and joined Kingstone Records. At the end of the same year, Dou Xian'er left and formed her own dream band.

Zheng Yun was not surprised that the music scene was such a big place, and said: "Mr. Su, it's not that the fourth brother wants to sign me, it's that he introduced a Hong Kong boss and said that he would open a company in the capital and let me come over." ”

"Hong Kong boss?"

"Well, it's that Chen Jian Tian. ”

Chen Jiantian is somewhat famous in the Hong Kong music scene, and has brought Wang Jingwen and BEYOND. But as BEYOND went to Japan to develop, the two sides broke up, and the goods wanted to go north.

At the beginning of this year, Zheng Yun was preparing to go abroad. As a result, Guo Chuanlin made a phone call and said that Chen Jiantian opened a company in the capital and wanted to sign you.

He was so excited that he immediately went north, only to find out that the company was still nowhere to be seen! So he and his girlfriend drifted for a few months, and life was hard.

"We don't have a contract right now, so I wanted to come and try it. ”

Su Yue understood, and said, "It's good that you haven't signed a contract, do you have any works?"

"Yes!"

Zheng Yun took out the guitar and held it in his arms, "The song I wrote is called "Naked". ”

He tuned the strings, played a few notes, and spoke: "She seems to be as cold as ice, she makes you unable to touch the direction, in fact, she is lonely in her heart......"

"My love is naked, my love is naked, you make me can't help but be fanatical......"

Ouch!

There is a previous perfume woman to compare, it is simply a natural sound. Su Yue was already sure, and after a song, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Back to Lhasa. ”

"The snowy mountains and green grass, the beautiful lama temple, the endless girls, her endless laughter......"

Limited by the environment, Zheng Yun suppressed the volume, but he could still feel the power inside.

After two songs, he looked at Su Yue worriedly, but Su Yue looked at another guy. He didn't know why, but he followed suit.

Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Are you confident that you can make an album?"

"Huh?"

"An album, all the lyrics and songs are written by you, are you confident?"

"I ...... Yes, there is!"

Zheng Yun reacted, uncontrollable ecstasy.

"Alright, let's study the contract. We usually sign for six years, and the company promises to send you three albums and make a profit of three or seven cents. But you create it yourself, and it comes to royalties......"

Xu Fei thought for a while and said, "The company is the exclusive agent and has full authority to use these songs." At the end of the day, you can take five percent of the total profit. ”

"For example, a box of tapes costs five dollars, and I can divide it for two cents and a half?"

"Yes. ”

In these years, the company is absolutely strong, and artists are like rotten cabbage. Zheng Yun could feel the sincerity, and said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll sign!"

At the end, he was embarrassed and said, "Uh, this ......"

"My surname is Xu. ”

"Mr. Xu, can I advance a little money, I need it now. ”

"Yes. ”

Xu Fei called an employee and said, "Take him to Wang Jinghua." ”

"Okay. ”

Zheng Yun left in a daze, and the interview continued.

The next one was unbearable, and after watching six or seven in a row, the two of them were devastated. It was close to noon, and finally the last place arrived.

I saw a thin man walk in, wearing glasses, and saluting restrainedly, "Two good, I, my name is Li Chunbo, a musician of the Haizheng Art Troupe." ”

Su Yue took a look at this image, and it was okay, and asked: "Looking at your information, you have more experience, and you have been in the art troupe?"

"Well, I've been doing it for six years, and I've written some songs during that time, but no one likes them. ”

"Can you sing a part?"

"Yes, yes. It's just not very mature, and it makes you laugh. ”

Li Chunbo helped his glasses, plucked the strings and sang: "There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village, who is good-looking and kind......"

Su Yue frowned, what is it?

Xu Fei was very interested, and when the other party finished singing, he said with a smile: "This song is quite simple, tell me about your creative inspiration?"

"Well, there's not much inspiration either. This song was written intermittently for a long time, and it was first a girl I liked...... Later, it was changed, and it became like this. ”

"What do you think?" he asked Su Yue again.

Lao Su has always been a bold faction, and he doesn't look down on soft songs, when "The Crooked Moon" came out, he said it was like a children's song, and later he was slapped in the face.

But after studying in Japan, my thinking has changed, and I feel that it is okay to listen to the whole story.

"The lyrics are pertinent and the tune is catchy, which is quite suitable for groups such as educated youth, and has a certain degree of singing. ”

"Then sign it?"

"I don't care. ”

Lao Su's attitude can be signed or not. Of course Mr. Xu signed it! This is "Xiao Fang"!

In reality, Li Chunbo went south to Shencheng because he had no way to defect in the capital. The results were unearthed and became an instant hit.

Right now, he is also gone in a daze. Xu Fei stretched his waist and said with satisfaction: "It's not in vain today, it's a big gain." ”

"Well, Zheng Yun alone is enough. Your million-dollar song, I think it will fall on him. ”

"Do you think "Naked" is a million-dollar hit?"

"What?" Su Yue was surprised.

"Ha, it's okay, it's okay. ”

............

That night, the dormitory building.

Considering Zheng Yun's special situation, before the contract was signed, Wang Jinghua arranged a place to live. No luggage, a big bag with all the belongings.

I chose the 5th floor A.

Wang Jinghua borrowed a bed and futon from downstairs and said, "You guys make do with it first, and you have time to buy a set tomorrow, don't forget to return this." ”

"I've slept with it, and other little girls can't ask for it. I'll get new ones for people. ”

"Yo, I'm pretty good at being a man. Let me tell you a few words. ”

She called Zheng Yun to her and said, "Now that there are fewer people, your girlfriend can stay temporarily." In the future, if there are more people, I may assign you a roommate and coordinate it yourself when the time comes. ”

"Understand, thank you, Sister Hua!"

"Your situation is special, and the company has approved a special subsidy. ”

She took out 2,000 yuan and took out 300, "These 2,000 have to be repaid, and these 300 are regular subsidies, which are available every month." ”

“......”

Zheng Yun took the money, thinking back on the hard life of several months, and became more and more grateful to Xinghe.

After sending Wang Jinghua away, he and his girlfriend looked at the house, looked at the two thousand three hundred yuan, and hugged each other and cried for a while.

......

If it weren't for Mr. Xu, he would have stayed up until the end of the year, until Chen Jiantian rented two hotel rooms and set up a company, the famous Red Star Production Company.

When we look back on the past, we always like to embellish the story, but that's exactly what happened.

In Chen Jiantian's narration, for Zheng Yun's album, Red Star invited many musicians and producers, and it took three months to complete it.

After Zheng Yun became popular, he switched to Polygram during the contract period, and Red Star had to fight a lawsuit.

But from this perspective, there were two red stars at that time, one Chen Jiantian and the other Zheng Yun. From writing songs and arranging music to finding a recording studio, renting a guitarist, and publicizing, he is running by himself.

And all the royalties and performance fees added up to 30,000 yuan.

Zheng Yun accused the other party of breach of contract, filed a lawsuit, did not ask for the last penny, and left the house. and triggered a large number of contract terminations, and the artist system, management, industry norms, etc. at that time were not perfect.

Therefore, a conscientious capitalist is a conscientious capitalist.
