Chapter 166: Issuance Rejected
"What? BYOB was dismissed?"
In the dormitory, when he heard the unexpected news that Avi hurriedly ran back and was out of breath, Lei Yun stood up from his seat in shock!
His face was full of disbelief, and he was even a little suspicious of his ears!
"And Mym!, too, was returned!, too!!"
Avi nodded again and again, and continued busily.
"What? How is this possible?"
Thundercloud exclaimed in surprise, then froze in place for a few seconds, his mind blank.
"I think it's incredible, but now... What now?"
Avi stammered in a panic, completely out of idea.
Thundercloud was silent for a long time, the atmosphere froze for a while, Avi looked at RayRay, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Whew~"
Suddenly breathing a long sigh of relief, Lei Yun dropped a word and left in a hurry.
"I'm going to Kevin now. “
······
"Kevin, I don't really understand, how can the distribution department be. “
It wasn't until he came to the company's office, sat in front of Kevin, and looked at the enthusiastic face as always, that Lei Yun still couldn't believe that his work would be beaten back by the label's distribution department.
Since joining the Dead Poets Society, RayRay has almost become a golden signboard, but almost all the dance music he produces is a big hit.
Therefore, whether it is in terms of single sales alone, or the close relationship with Kevin, it is reasonable to make sense, Lei Yun's works will not be beaten back!
But the naked reality is now in front of you!
"I think one of them... Is there some misunderstanding?"
Thundercloud, who has always remembered Kevin's kindness, used as much more tactful wording as possible.
"Oh no, no, it's very simple, RayRay, and you know that Dead Poets Society is getting bigger and bigger now, and I've been thinking about the future of the label lately. “
Kevin said slowly as he brewed his coffee.
Hearing the future development direction of the label, Lei Yun forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and listened patiently.
"You also understand that each label has its own set style, NSD label, Staroftrance label, SuperXX label..."
Thundercloud listened silently, and he seemed to gradually understand what Kevin meant.
Almost every label will have its own set style, and there are so many different styles of electronic music that it is impossible for any label to include them all.
If a label wants to become famous, the first thing to do is to define its own style, and then use it to attract DJs who make related styles and electronic music lovers who like related music.
After determining your main style, you must sign a DJ with a related style and only release certain styles of works, so that the label's own core competitiveness will be reflected and it can occupy a place in the market.
For example, NSD (NeverSayDie) labels, which focus on BassMusic such as Dubstep and DrumBass, and Staroftrance labels, which focus on Trance style.
There are also SuperXX labels, which focus on House, Techno and other styles.
Almost every label that can stand out will have its own best main style to face the market audience.
As for the Dead Poets Society, before Thundercloud joined, before the Timely Music Festival was held, it was just a small label focused on the Dubstep style due to Kevin's personal preference.
"But you have to know that the current Death Poets Society is no longer the Death Poets Society of the past. “
Kevin said as Thundercloud nodded.
Of course, he knew that after a whole year of popularity of the Timely Music Electronic Music Festival, the scale of the Death Poets Society has now expanded several times, and it has faintly had the grandeur of a first-line factory.
"I've been thinking a lot lately about the future direction of the Dead Poets Society. “
Finally getting to the point, Lei Yun couldn't help but straighten up, his ears slightly pricked up.
"The Death Poets Society in my mind will focus on the soul of electronic music - stage music!"
Hearing this, Thundercloud's body shook suddenly. Haha Literature Network
"Trance, House, or Dubstep!"
Kevin was talking as he spoke, and his emotions gradually became excited.
"Only electronic music that can really shake the stage! is the real electronic music!It is the soul of electronic music!!"
"Dead Poets Society, we will not release any works that have nothing to do with stage music in the future!"
Don't go further and further down the wrong path!"
······
When Thundercloud walked out of Kevin's office, he seemed to be still immersed in the conversation he had just had.
In the face of this huge difference in philosophy and cognition, Thundercloud felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
He understands that the most terrible thing is not right and wrong, but that there is no right or wrong at all!
Is Kevin wrong to insist on electronic music that dominates the stage?
Is it right that Thundercloud insists on experimenting with popular electronic music?
There is no right or wrong in this kind of issue, so how can it be reconciled?
It's like asking Buddhist disciples to accept the teachings of Taoism, which is simply nonsense about the cow playing the piano!
Therefore, when the thundercloud finds that no words can communicate, he can only choose silence.
But now Kevin has made it clear that he does not support the route he has chosen, the commercial popularity of electronic music, can it be said... Do you want to give up?
Thundercloud shook his head, turned to look at the company building behind him, and had been quietly maintaining this position for a long time, and then suddenly turned around.
······
"Hey, Tony?"
After receiving a call from Tony unexpectedly, Thundercloud came to the place where the two of them met with a stomach full of doubts.
"Hey man, how's it going?"
Once seated in the dining room, Tony greeted him with a smile.
"Uh... “
Thundercloud smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.
"By the way, RayRay, is the release plan for BYOB out?"
Tony brushed aside the topic and asked about the release plan that he was also concerned about.
After all, this song is a joint production of two people, and its release Tony is of course very concerned.
However, since the main creator is Lei Yun, the first signature in the producer column is written with RayRay's name, and the distribution right of the work is naturally determined by Lei Yun.
However, Tony, as a co-producer, is entitled to a certain percentage of royalties.
"Alas... Kevin was not optimistic about this work and did not choose to release it. “
Bringing up this issue again, Lei Yun could only shake his head helplessly.
Kevin, as the boss of the label, naturally has the right to decide anything.
"What? such a good dance music, how is it possible..."
Tony's eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't believe the fact.
"That's right. “
Spreading his hands, Thundercloud made a helpless look.
"Wouldn't it be a shame not to release it? or. . “
Tony sighed regretfully, as if a new possibility had suddenly occurred to him.
"Hey RayRay, I suddenly had an idea! I don't know if it's possible..."
Tony's tone became longer and longer, and his expression was a little hesitant.
"Leave it to MagicCat for distribution?"
