Chapter 40: Go to the Ball!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were seven or eight people sitting on the ground in the café, and it was very quiet.
Fat brother Kong Quan patiently analyzed the pros and cons with Peng Xiangming one by one:
"It's not that we don't want to release albums, it's not that we don't want to debut, it's not that we don't like Daqi Records, we just obviously have a better way to go, and it doesn't take long to sign a big record company like them and release an album by ourselves, so there's no need to sign it now. ”
"First, you have works now, and they are good works that many insiders give thumbs up, but they haven't been released yet, so in the public, you have no influence and no popularity! But we don't have to worry at all, because the works you write have their own publicity channels and are bound to TV dramas!"
"I have inquired carefully, and "Three Kingdoms" has been determined in advance, and it will be broadcast in November, and the drama will be broadcast weekly. Invest 600 million, even if there is water, let's squeeze it out, at least half, right? 300 million, shoot 12 episodes, and at least 7 or 8 seasons will be filmed in the plan, there may be 100 episodes of a big drama of this scale, they won't mess around, don't care what the reputation is after the drama is released, the publicity will definitely be overwhelming!"
"I can basically say with certainty, our song is popular!
"There is also "The Legend of Ping Niang", no matter who took over the production, it is undeniable that that drama is equivalent to the music that you personally packaged for the role, and the investment of that drama does not contain water, it will cost sixty or seventy million! The director is a big hand again, and he is absolutely unambiguous! Plus the theme song is still sung by Zhou Yujie! If you think about it, it must be popular!"
"And according to the information I have collected so far, "The Legend of Ping Niang" should also be broadcast before the Spring Festival, probably in January of the solar calendar! "Three Kingdoms" in November, "The Legend of Ping Niang" in January, think about it, Jiao'er, do we need to be in a hurry?"
Peng Xiangming nodded slowly.
In fact, this is exactly what he had in mind.
What I have done now, and what I am about to do, are all works with their own propaganda and bonuses, so to speak, once they are on the market, purely in terms of their own music, there is almost no possibility of failure - even if the drama is pounced, the song is not as popular as expected, and I am at least a person who has publicly published his works, isn't it? What about now? Now in terms of the market, I am still a pure amateur!
In fact, it will only take less than half a year for them to go public!
Of course, you don't have to worry!
At this time, the fat brother said again: "So, if you sign now, it is equivalent to signing as a singer, don't worry about signing for a few years, a few albums, the copyright of what you make is everyone's!
Peng Xiangming nodded first when he heard this, and then asked him, "Then if I register the studio now, make my own album, and then sign a contract, can't I?"
Kong Quan shook his head directly without hesitation, "No." ”
"Why?"
Kong Quan asked rhetorically: "If you open a record company, do distribution, sign singers yourself, make albums, and have a singer's personal studio, wait, it's Daqi Records now, when it is released, who would you be most willing to invest in, smash resources, and smash publicity?"
Peng Xiangming thought for a moment, "Uh...... Prioritize your own people, right?"
Kong Quan immediately said: "That's right! Who is the change, when it is propaganda, when it is necessary to smash real money into it, there must be distant relatives, and it must be treated differently." The best resources, heavy investment, of course, to the album signed under their own company, the copyright belongs to the company, of course, it must be optimistic, will be heavily smashed, otherwise it will not work. ”
"In the second class, it is Zhou Yujie's kind, although he is produced by his own studio, the copyright is not in the distribution company, but doing his new album release, it is almost ironclad to make money, a little more publicity, although it costs a little money, but there is almost no risk, it is easy to earn back! Moreover, even if it is to attract this kind of big name to continue to stay under its umbrella to join, you must show sincerity!"
"In the third category, there are singers under their own banners, but the people above are not very optimistic, and there are some brands that are not tough enough, but they insist on being singers in their own studios. ”
Speaking of this, Kong Quan slowed down before continuing: "If we sign as a studio now, I guess there will definitely be a signature, but in terms of treatment, I'm afraid even the third class will have to be exhausted!"
Peng Xiangming nodded slowly: Where are the interests!
Your copyright is not mine, you are not famous, and the risk is so big, why should I throw so many resources at you?
Therefore, the distribution can be released, anyway, to earn commissions, the channel is there, and I don't care if you have one more album, but it is impossible to expect the company to praise you.
And in this era, how difficult is it to expect a song to be passed on by word of mouth?
Maybe not entirely, but ...... Why bother?
Therefore, Peng Xiangming nodded again, and then asked him, "Then I'm ...... Refuse to get rid of it?"
Kong Quan thought for a moment and said, "Don't! My suggestion is, let's do two things at the same time!"
"One, register your personal studio immediately, and transfer all the relevant copyrights to this studio!"
"Second, on behalf of you, I'm going to talk to that side, but not about the singer, not about the album, but about the release of the songs of "The Legend of Ping Niang"! Didn't he say that he was looking for you for this? This can be discussed, the copyrights of those three songs are in our hands, after the TV series starts, it can be put on sale, after all, we have to find a distributor, just this banner record, it's good!"
"And I suggest, let's not just talk about these three songs, but also add a few! Next, before the start of "Three Kingdoms", you will definitely not be idle, and it is impossible to keep doing these three songs, and the soundtrack of "The Legend of Ping Niang", right? I suggest, make a few songs first, of course it is good to write songs for other TV series, but even if there is nothing, you can do whatever you want, you can do it. ”
"We don't have much production funds for the time being, we can find people with little fame to sing, and even sign a few amateurs, it's not worth much, even if you receive songs, it's actually not worth much!
"That's it, in the second half of the year, you will make a few more works, together with these three songs, let's sign an agency distribution contract with Daqi in the name of the studio, for example, six songs, eight songs, it's okay!"
"Do this, first, let the other party understand what we mean, the copyright will not be given to them, we can only talk about distribution, second, on the one hand, you can practice your hands, and at the same time, we can also be regarded as testing the water!
He said: "If it's not popular, it's not popular, it's completely acceptable! If you can't play it yourself, it's a big deal that these songs are finished, and we can still get in touch with Daqi again, discuss giving up the studio, and join the past debut!"
Sign people, do it yourself, do what you want to do?
This seems like a good idea.
Peng Xiangming picked up the coffee cup, took another sip, pondered for a long time, and said, "It's okay! However, you allow me to think about it carefully! But you can start working on this studio's business!
"Okay! The whole process will only take two or three days! It will be done quickly! But you definitely need to register it, or I'll rent you a house first?"
"Well, that's fine. Peng Xiangming nodded first, then remembered, and stretched out his hand, "Mobile phone, mobile phone, give me your mobile phone, open your memo!" He took the mobile phone, pointed it, and asked, "Did I say before that you asked me to help me find a house......?"
As he spoke, he clicked on this one, and then he was stunned.
I remember here that the house should be near the West Third Ring Road, close to the film school, and two adjacent communities should be selected to rent two houses, one large and one small.
After reading it, he pointed and asked, "Still two houses?"
Kong Quan smiled and said, "The big one is used to meet people, and of course it also lives." In the future, if your grades improve, you can't have anything to do, and if you have a friend, you won't have a place to receive you? Could it be that we still let people call over casually and take the initiative to meet people? If you want people to come to you and visit you, you must have a place to visit! Therefore, this house has to be a little more magnificent, and it's a big deal to sign a long-term contract, and we can redecorate! In short, we must not be shabby!"
"What about the little one, why make a small one?"
"Hey...... This house will be rented in my name, and it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be nothing in the future, there will be scandals, scandals, and scandals......
Seeing Peng Xiangming's face darken, Kong Quan hurriedly explained, "I didn't say that there would definitely be, but I have to guard against it! When the reporter chases you all over the ground, you must have a place to hide, right?"
Peng Xiangming finally nodded.
"Two, hehe...... Once a celebrity is famous, there is no privacy, and if you need something, you can't always go to a hotel to open a room? There will be a record! And now cameras are everywhere, if you are famous, you can enter the hotel with the front foot, and the back foot can explode for you on the Internet! Right?"
That's the same!
Peng Xiangming thought for a while and nodded: "Okay!
............
Before the two finished talking, Liu Mi suddenly called.
The relationship between the two of them has been quite harmonious recently, so good that it is like honey blending oil, Peng Xiangming directly connected, and the first thing the girl said was, "Xiang Ming, will you go shopping with me in the afternoon?"
Peng Xiangming just wanted to say that she was busy—and she was indeed busy, how could she bother to go shopping—but somehow, the brain processor suddenly pushed her photo to her eyes.
Or the one she wears in a European-style tutu.
That's the thin waist!
So he struggled for only a moment, and then he agreed.
It's also nice to buy her a retro tutu!
We've been on good terms lately...... Maybe...... Gee......
She shouldn't resist, right?
Anyway, things are almost discussed and a result is coming, and when it comes to registering a studio, Kong Quan will also go through all the procedures, and he only needs to show up in a few steps such as opening an account in a key bank.
Then go shopping!
In a few days, Liu Mike will join the group "Three Kingdoms", don't look at the few scenes, you won't see anyone for a week to ten days—— I will definitely miss her!
After a few more words of explanation with Kong Quan, Peng Xiangming settled the account, and the two got up and left the café.
Kong Quan took a taxi to go and ran errands, and Peng Xiangming turned around and walked back to school.
Halfway through, I remembered that I didn't know how many messages An Minzhi hadn't read, so I clicked on WeChat to go in, and sure enough, eleven!
He didn't even bother to listen to what the old aunt said, he only glanced at the text messages - whether you apologize or beg for mercy, promise to ask if you are angry after two days, directly press the voice button, and reply to her, "You don't love to come!
I release it, send it, and go to the ball!
