Chapter 212: A Little Bird
Although singer Zhou Chuan looks very ugly, he has been praised and sung well by the people around him from the beginning.
When he was in his time, appearance was not too important, after all, children were cute.
But when he became an adult, his appearance became uglier and uglier, his hair was much less, and his teeth were uneven.
When he was in his 30s, he had never talked to him, and wherever he went, others looked at him with a strange look! When he entered the Times Record Company, it was also because a former boss at that time drank too much and listened to Zhou Chuan singing in karaoke, and felt that this person sang well, so he decided to sign Zhou Chuan that night!
On the second day, Zhou Chuan came to the office, and the boss regretted it, this person was too ugly!
Later, several bosses also looked down on Zhou Chuan, but fortunately, this guy's language skills and communication were not bad, and the bosses were embarrassed to fire him, but they didn't want to train him.
So he has signed this temporary contract until now, with a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a month, and waits for death in a metropolis like Blue Bay!
But now it's different, there's a new boss, Yang Ming!
This boss Yang Ming is not only very rich, but also very famous, very talented! After Dou Ge defeated Su Pinghui, Yang Ming has been called the creative talent of the Chinese music circle, and even the king of creation!
What made Zhou Chuan even happier was that Yang Ming discovered his singing talent and decided to vigorously cultivate him!
In fact, giving him a temporary contract or an A-level contract is the second best thing for him! What really makes him happy is that the boss Yang Ming wants to write songs for him!
And write two songs at a time!
"Who would have thought of this!" Zhou Chuan's heart was simply ecstatic.
For a singer, you can't be a singer without your own masterpieces! You always sing songs, you just cover songs, what's the difference between you and those who sing in karaoke?
At most, it's a good cover!
Zhou Chuan has always faced this uncertainty in identity, he is a singer, but he does not have a masterpiece, not even a song of his own!
Including this time when the record company changed its boss, everyone else went to other places to apply, and he also went out to try it, no one asked him, and no one even admitted that he was a real singer!
"I want to have two songs at once, won't I be able to release an album in the future?" asked Zhou Chuan in surprise.
Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't release albums! In the future, under normal circumstances, we will not release albums, only singles!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yongcai was also dumbfounded.
For those of them who are record artists, releasing an album is not only a proof of a singer's strength, but also a source of income!
If you don't release albums or sell records, then what kind of money do you make as a record company? Yang Ming actually doesn't release albums in the future, so won't this record company lose all the way to death?
In fact, Yang Ming's decision is also the current dilemma of the record industry, in this society, it is all digital music, electronic music, just take out the mobile phone and download it, and you can listen to it online, who will buy records?
In his previous life, Wang superstar Chou Dong once decided not to release an album in the future, only a single!
As for the way to make money, in fact, there are a lot of them, holding concerts, engaging in peripherals, and then making every effort to manage the sales of the electronic version of the single, it is not difficult to make money!
Yang Ming said, "Vinyl records have been eliminated by cassettes, and cassettes have been eliminated by CDs, and sooner or later CDs will be completely eliminated by digital music! Now the fidelity effect of digital music is no less than the effect of discs, and who else will listen to discs? Therefore, everyone must change their thinking and go all out to manage singles! The first thing Sihai Records will do after its establishment is to jointly organize a national talent show with Blue Bay TV Station, and I will ask you to fully cooperate with you when the time comes!"
Zhao Yongcai also knows the current predicament of the record industry, and when he heard Yang Ming's plan to be reborn with a broken arm, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he could only nod.
Yang Ming said with a smile, "The record industry is not dead, and it will not die! In fact, if a singer releases an album, this phenomenon will be eliminated sooner or later!"
Those singers in the past, even those superstars, there are more than 10 songs in one album, how many are really good? How many are really handed down?
Except for two or three songs, most of the others are indiscriminate!
In the era of cassette tapes and discs, this was actually a kind of bundling! If you buy my good songs, you have to buy bad songs, and good songs and bad songs are bundled together and sold!
But now the digital age is different, a good song will soon stand out, and those bad songs that are indiscriminately filled to make up ten songs will be shot into the bottomless abyss in the blink of an eye!
So there is no point in such an album whether it is released or not! Now is the era of singles, and a single is successful and famous, and it is on the ground!
Zhou Chuan thinks it makes sense when he hears this, although it is his dream to release an album, but thinking about it, everyone will stop posting it in the future, and he can understand it.
"That's it, I'm going to the next location soon, when the car is on the road, I'll help you write these two songs, and you add me a WeChat friend. ”
After adding friends, Yang Ming and Sunny, as well as He Lin, the representative of Song Dong, left Times Records, and they had to go to the Binjiang Film Shooting Base, which was far away and needed to take a three-hour car.
Yang Ming didn't drive his own sports car, followed Sunny into an official car, and took advantage of the time the car was on the road to write two songs.
Sunny and He Lin really admire Yang Ming, this person is really talented, how difficult it is for others to write a good song, Yang Ming worked hard for a while, and two good songs were written.
He Lin stretched out his head to take a look, and immediately blushed and laughed, ""I am a bird, how can there be such a song, bird." ”
The woman didn't know what was going on in her mind.
Yang Ming didn't care, and said with a smile, "Soon you go to KTV, you will find that many people are singing this song!"
While he was writing, he picked up his mobile phone and took clear pictures of the lyrics and scores of these two songs, and then sent them to Zhou Chuan.
Zhou Chuan was waiting at the record company, and after receiving these two songs, he thanked him and immediately tried to sing.
"I Am a Bird", this song is really catchy, Zhou Chuan has sung it once and it has been determined, this song will definitely be popular!
And he prefers another song, this song seems to be made for him, called "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle", the lyrics of this song are simply written in his heart, and it feels very good to sing!
"I'm ugly, but I'm gentle. Cold on the outside, fanatical on the inside, that's me!"
"I'm ugly, but I have music and beer. A little humble, a little cowardly, but never back down!"
After Zhou Chuan finished singing together, he was already in tears.
