After getting on the plane, Xia Ge left all the domestic affairs behind.

Now that he is about to face a new challenge, it is really difficult for a Chinese to make a name for himself in the American music industry.

He has also investigated these days, and there is no one in the country who has established outstanding results in the United States.

It's no wonder that some people in China will ridicule him for not being able to do his best, and Xia Ge himself has no bottom in his heart.

In addition to recording an album this time, I went to the United States to deal with the Bitta thing.

At present, the funds invested in Bita Coin have reached 70 million, 60 million for himself, and 10 million for Liu Wen.

All of them were operated by my aunt, although in the end, all of them were turned into data and in Xia Ge's own account. But in order to make it easier to make a move in the future, it is necessary for Xia Ge to communicate well with his aunt.

Xia Ge didn't feel sleepy on the plane, many passengers had already put on blindfolds, but Xia Ge was chatting with Tony.

This time everything is counting on Tony, and Sony Records. I didn't know what difficulties I would encounter, so Xia Ge inquired about some things in the music industry on the plane.

Tony was not sleepy, he was able to bring Xia Ge back to the United States for development, which was the biggest gain of this trip to China.

"Natsu, you're going to make it in America!" said Tony.

"Tony, I don't know much about everything in the United States, can you give me a brief introduction?

When Tony heard this, his expression was a little unnatural, but he immediately patted his chest and promised: "The direction must be planned, don't worry." Let me introduce you to our company. ”

"In fact, we have signed a lot of Chinese singers, such as Jay Chou, Jay Chou, Huang Bo, Yang Chenlin, Xiao Yaxuan, Luo Zhixiang and so on. Michael Jackson of America, Westlife, Britney, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Kid Arthur, Jennifer Lopez, Pretty in Pink and many more. We have too many kings and queens under our banner!"

"I believe that you will be very rewarding after you arrive at the company!"

Xia Ge was also a little excited to hear so many familiar names, these were all big singers he didn't dare to think of before.

It's just that he always felt that something was wrong with Tony's tone, but he didn't think too much about it.

Anyway, what he talked about with Sony was sharing, and he was not an artist under Sony, but more like a cooperation.

"What's my schedule for going to the United States this time?" Xia Ge asked again.

It took half a day for the plane to fly to the United States, which was enough for Xia Ge to figure out what things he needed to do when he went to the United States this time. What difficulties do you have to face?

Tony didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "When you arrive in New York, I will arrange for you to stay in a hotel near the company." Then I will take you to record an album in the company, and after the recording, I will arrange for you to go to the radio to hit the charts. ”

"According to the results of the song, we will arrange corresponding promotional resources for you, such as appearing on the show or participating in activities, etc. In short, this month and a half, you have half a month to record, and the next month will run the itinerary. Tony explained it in detail.

"But I don't know if half a month is enough, like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, they don't necessarily release an album a year. I also heard you say that the songs are ready, so I dare to arrange it like this. ”

"There are already six or seven English songs, and when the time comes, I will put two Chinese songs in it. Xia Ge replied.

This time the first album was released, and Xia Ge was going to put a few Chinese songs in the middle. Whether foreigners like it or not, if his first album is pure English, it is estimated that many people will spray him wildly.

Xia Ge wasn't afraid of others spraying, but he just felt that it was unnecessary.

Put some good Chinese songs in a bunch of excellent English songs, and you are also exporting Chinese culture.

If he can really achieve results, Xia Ge is sure that even CCTV may report on him.

As long as he can last on the news at 7 o'clock, Xia Ge will be regarded as a golden body for himself.

There will be a lot of troubles when I return to China in the future, and I will definitely not find myself.

Just like being ridiculed by many people this time, who will dare at that time?

Then Tony gave Xia Ge how to make money from music in the United States and what are the big companies.

"We at Sony now have the largest music rights library in the world, and the money we can make every year from licensing is an astronomical amount. ”

"There are also Warner, Universal, BGM full name Bertelsmann Music Group, and we Sony Music"

"For example, Justin Bieber's contract to Kojima Music is actually a subsidiary of Universal Music. ”

"So after leaving a big company, ordinary artists can't get ahead at all!" Tony took the opportunity to hint at the importance of big companies.

He really hopes that Xia Ge can sign a long-term contract with Sony Music.

Otherwise, if this album Xia Ge is popular, you can cooperate with other companies at any time. It's a big loss for Sony Music.

Xia Ge didn't quite agree with Tony's statement.

With the development of the Internet, the model of the music industry has changed.

In the past, it was a professional record company that produced music, specialized in production, professional communication, and professional sales. Corresponding are record labels, media outlets, and record stores.

Now it's personal production, professional services, and monetization.

Individual production is an independent musician, a small team, a record label. Professional services, in addition to the media. There's also the Internet, and third-party service providers include Apple's music store.

The rest of the realization, in addition to selling records, copyright is also the majority. Records can also be sold through e-commerce platforms.

The role of large companies in the middle has been seriously weakened, and Xia Ge studied the music market with Liu Wen before getting on the plane.

Among them, Bili and Justin Bieber both uploaded their music cover works to the YouTube website, and were liked by many netizens and then had a certain right to speak. It won't be completely controlled by the record label.

"Summer, and the music awards in the United States. This is very important, and it also requires the operation of a large company to achieve good results. Do you know what the big awards are?" said Tony.

He wants to instill in Xia Ge in an all-round way the concept that he will not succeed if he leaves Sony Music.

"All I know is the Grammys. Xia Ge replied casually.

"Of course, the Grammys are every singer's dream! There's also the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, as long as you can do anything in one award. When you return to China, you will definitely become the pride of all Chinese. Tony said with a smile.

"Xia should not consider considering signing a music contract directly to Sony Music, I dare to promise you. Help you run an award next year. ”

With such empty words and white teeth, Xia Ge shook his head with a smile and said, "I have confidence in my songs." ”

The underlying meaning is, of course, don't want to sign a contract, Xia Ge doesn't want to be tied to a certain company.

Tony sighed helplessly, a little worried.

In fact, Tony didn't tell Xia Ge about some situations, and Sony Music didn't pay so much attention to Xia Ge.

It's just that Tony himself is very optimistic about Xia Ge and has won a series of benefits for him.

Xia Ge didn't know all this.
