Since starting his business, Liu Yun has developed the habit of taking one step and seeing three steps, and this time is no exception.

On the eve of the launch of the official version of YOYO Voice, he was also thinking about what to do next, but he didn't have a suitable goal in mind for the time being, so he was ready to talk to Zhou Hongwei before making a decision.

When he was about to get off work in the evening, he received a phone call that surprised him a little, and the caller turned out to be Xu Huan, the president of Haidie Records in mainland China.

He could vaguely guess the motive of this person's call.

"Mr. Liu, hello, I'm really taking the liberty of bothering. Xu Huan on the other end of the phone said a little stiffly.

Both are presidents of the company, but there are also key differences.

Xu Huan is just a wage earner with a high salary, while Liu Yun also has the identity of a founder and boss.

So when the two were talking, Xu Huan deliberately lowered his posture.

"Don't get in the way, Haidie Records has a pivotal position in our Chinese music scene, and I bought your records when I was young. Liu Yun also smiled and flattered, but it was just a polite word in the adult world.

The other party lowered his posture, and Liu Yun would not put on a domineering tone. He has a principle, the boss's frame is only manifested in the company, and outside the company, as long as others do not provoke him, such as the professor who wants to gain popularity, he is also very willing to face the world with a humble attitude.

"It was an honor for Mr. Liu to buy our company's records. Xu Huan said with a smile. He's a smart guy and won't be stupid enough to ask which singer you bought. That's all you need to talk about.

Liu Yun understood the motive of the other party's call, and felt that it was more appropriate for him to bring up this topic, so he said: "Mr. Xu, this girl Tian Fu is my friend, and she has just signed a contract with your company. Is she okay with your company?"

In fact, in the past few days, Liu Yun and Tian Fu have passed several phone calls, and they also know that she is doing well in Yanjing, and the company takes good care of her.

Yanjing and Ningjiang are really far away, and Tian Fu's mother has always been by her side, taking care of food, clothing and daily life.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Sea Butterfly Company to arrange personal bodyguards for a fledgling newcomer, so Liu Yun had to use her own means to recruit two security personnel over there to protect her safety.

Xu Huan heard Liu Yun take the initiative to mention it, and said with joy in his heart: "Very good, this girl can endure hardships, and she has a strong desire to learn, as long as she is free, she will go to the recording studio to practice singing." ”

Liu Yun sighed slightly, this girl cherishes this opportunity very much, and is eager to get ahead and bring her mother a worry-free life in her old age.

The singer is different from the actor, he attaches too much importance to talent, timbre, singing skills, and the appeal of the stage, there is no opportunistic component, all he can do is to provide her with a platform that can be exposed.

He replied with a smile: "The so-called ten minutes on stage, ten years of work off the stage, no success can be shortcuted, this is a good phenomenon." ”

After hearing this, Xu Huan said, "Mr. Liu, you are too right. I'm also very optimistic about this girl, so even if the record market is very sluggish right now, our company is thinking about releasing an album for her. ”

A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yun's mouth, presumably this was the real purpose of this guy's call to find him.

This is a smart person, who only said that the company was considering, and did not say that he had decided to release an album for Tian Fu. He's here to test himself.

Liu Yun understands that this conversation between the two will directly determine whether Haidie will give Tian Fu a solo album.

A well-known record company like Haidie, they have a large number of singers, and none of those people are waiting for the company to prepare a solo album for them, Tian Fu, as a newcomer who has just joined Haidie, if there is no relationship with Liu Yun, it may take several years or even longer to release a solo album.

If a singer wants to become popular, he needs talent, but he can't do without opportunities.

Jay Chou, the Taiwanese king who has been featured in Time magazine and has become popular all over Asia, could only hide in a small office and keep writing songs in the first few years of his acting career, until Wu Zongxian, the Bole, dug it out.

Liu Yun replied directly: "I hope she can release a solo album next year, which is also the result I want to see." ”

Xu Huan asked again: "Mr. Liu, Tian Fu has two songs, one is a cover song "Like You", and the other is the original "Little Lucky". The copyright of that original song is in your hands, and we have to get your consent even if we want to release an album. ”

Liu Yun then replied: "It's not just "Little Lucky", I also spent money to ask Xiangjiang to buy the cover rights of "Like You" around the world, so if you want to record this song into the album, just ask me, and you don't need to consult Xiangjiang again." ”

Sea Butterfly Music is a regular company, and it is impossible to cover songs directly without the consent of the original author like those online singers.

The two quickly reached a preliminary agreement, which was roughly the same as what Liu Yun had talked to Mango Satellite TV at the beginning.

He still owns the copyright of "Like You" and "Little Lucky", but he gives it to Haidie Company for free, and allows the other party to use these two songs to participate in some commercial performances, and the income is equally shared by Haidie and Tian Fu.

Sea Butterfly Company is making every effort to create a new solo album for Tian Fu.

"Thank you Mr. Liu, our company will definitely do its best to support Tian Fu. There was a hint of excitement in Xu Huan's tone. These two songs are now so popular on the Internet, and now after the professional packaging and publicity of Haidie Company, they will inevitably become highly sung national songs.

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Yun was about to hang up the phone, but Xu Huan said something that surprised him slightly.

"Mr. Liu, you are engaged in the Internet, and I am engaged in music. In fact, our two companies can cooperate, for example, to develop a music playback software, we have technology, funds, and ready-made singers, which can be regarded as a strong combination. ”

Nowadays, there is a very popular music playback software on the market, but it basically does not make money and does not cost money.

Because in this era, there is almost no concept of online copyright in songs, and music playback software can be played without the consent of the record company.

Liu Yun had some emotions after hearing this, in this era of shallow copyright awareness and rampant piracy, it doesn't cost much to make a music playback software.

The formalization of online copyright of songs will be almost after 2010, which means that before that, you can get the right to play these songs online for little or no money.

Music playback software such as Qianqian Jingting does not make money, but it has a huge number of installed computers, which is no less than Yoyo Browser.

"Mr. Xu, we can cooperate, but I thought that instead of developing one, it would be better to buy one directly, such as Qianqian Jingting. Liu Yun thought about it and said with a smile.

If he doesn't start, Qianqian Jingting will be acquired by Baidu next year, and he decided to take the first step.

Liu Yun is interested in the huge number of users that Qianqian Jingting has, which can increase the adhesion of its products.
