Chapter 273: Abacus

On the evening of the fifth day, Ye Zheng followed Zhang Deqiang and them to the venue of the Asian Music Festival Awards Gala, and they got the news in advance that at this Asian Music Festival, Baina's "Dearest You" won four nominations.

They were nominated for Best Song and Best Lyrics for "Encounter", Best Arrangement for "Black and White Duet", and Best Composition for "Right and Wrong". There are four nominations for an album, which is a great thing to celebrate. And Lin Wanqing was also nominated for Best Female Singer. Their luck is not bad enough to win a prize, at least one. Ye Zheng's two nominations were as expected. It's just that Zhang Deqiang's heart is not very happy. Because Ye Zheng is going to start his own music company in the future, and it will definitely be in Hengyang City, which means that they will become the most direct competitors.

Many people don't care about Ye Zheng, but Zhang Deqiang remembered the strong confidence that Ye Zheng showed when he talked to him that day, and he felt a little confused. He had a faint premonition in his heart, perhaps, Ye Zheng, a young man, could really make some achievements? Regarding the nomination, of course, it is just the gossip of the jury group, which has not been made public on the surface, and it will be announced by the host at the music festival. At six o'clock in the evening, the artists walked into the party one after another, and the awards party will last about two hours, and the estimated time is from seven to nine o'clock.

"Hey, Brother Ye!" Zhou Ke saw Ye Zheng, greeted him, and sat directly beside him. The seats here are all casual sitting, and many people are not in their own music company, so it is normal to sit and chat with friends.

"Old Zhou. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "When did I call Lao Zhou?" Zhou Ke smiled: "Okay, okay, compared to you, I can indeed be called Lao Zhou." Ye Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's right." "I heard you're going to start a music company?" Zhou Ke asked in a low voice.

"Hmm. Ye Zheng nodded, looked at Zhou Ke and asked, "What do you have to say?" Zhou Ke frowned and said, "I didn't expect you to have such guts." Anyway, you haven't given us the songs we bought in the wheat field, so you're going to start your own music company? Inevitably, you're a little anxious, aren't you? Although Qiu Feng's words are ugly, they are not unreasonable...... Listen to my brother, mix in this circle for two more years, learn more about things, and accumulate more capital, and it's not too late to make plans. Anyway, you are still young, and if you sharpen your creativity, it will be better to run a company in the future. ”

Ye Zheng smiled: "Zhang Ailing said that you should be famous as soon as possible...... And I said Lao Zhou, if what I know is correct, the contract between you and Mai Tian just expired yesterday, right? Now you are not a person from Mai Tian in the legal sense, what do you call your Mai Tian?" "The renewal contract is on my desk! A three-year renewal! I will sign it when I go back today!" Zhou Ke glared: "Is what I said wrong? Hehe, brother, I am an important person in Mai Tian, and they are reluctant to let me go." If it weren't for the delay of something else some time ago, the renewal of the contract would have been signed a long time ago...... Hey, what did you just say, Zhang Ailing, who is this person, why haven't I heard of it......?"

"A pancake seller on the outskirts of Hengyang...... Ahem, I said Lao Zhou, if you think about it, you won't sign the renewal contract, right?" "Why don't you sign it?" ”

"If you think about it again, if you miss this village, you won't have this store!" Ye Zheng said: "You run the music company, and I do the creation." Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to set up a joint venture than if you were to work for someone else?"

"Well, now let's say I promise you. Zhou Ke said: "Then tell me your specific plans? I am not reliable in the operation of the company, let me bring some people to be responsible for the production and promotion of the album, after all, I have always done this." But the company's business and management, I can't do it. And if you kid plans to start a music company, naturally you want to take most of the shares, and I only take a small part, how much can I earn? ”

"You have to believe that even if you only own 10 percent of the shares, in a few years your income will definitely be several times what you are now. Ye Zheng's words were full of confidence: "I will still find a way to manage and run the company." In fact, if Ye Zheng is allowed to take care of the company by himself, he will also have the confidence to give it a try. But he still has to go to college and has a lot to do, so he really doesn't have much energy to manage the company. So he plans to find someone again, this person, he also has eyebrows. "10 percent of the shares are tens of millions of dollars? You know, I'm talking about profits, not market capitalization! I also believe that you might be able to turn a music company into a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but it's another thing to make a profit. Zhou Ke thought that Ye Zheng didn't understand the concept. "I'm talking about profit. "How Ye Zheng also had a master's degree in economic management in his previous life, this truth is still clear. Zhou Ke opened his mouth, and found that he was a little speechless in front of the strong self-confidence shown by Ye Zheng, and nodded helplessly after a while: "Okay, let's assume that this is also true! Suppose someone will manage the company well! Suppose I can do a good job of production and publicity and other artist-related work! However, you said that you are in charge of creation? Hey, I said brother...... Aren't you, to put it mildly, a little too highly of yourself?"

Ye Zheng smiled: "Maybe it's hard for you to imagine, but creating this kind of thing is actually not as difficult for me as you think." Since our brother is talking, I have said so much to you. I might as well tell you that the song for the wheat field has been written for a long time, but it has not been given to you yet. "Huh?" Zhou Ke was stunned, a little surprised, he knew that Ye Zheng had sold some songs to Peacock Music and Blue Dream Records, and he was already shocked at the time, thinking that Ye Zheng probably delayed the song he wrote to Mai Tian, but he didn't expect that Ye Zheng had already created it. "Well, I'll sign the contract when I go back, I'll give the song to the wheat field, and then I won't sell the song to me for the time being. Ye Zheng said: "Having said that, my creative ability is really strong, Lao Zhou, you have to believe this...... Well, I might as well reveal it to you again. I'm definitely going to start this music company, and it's going to be this year...... I've written two albums and found an artist! And when I say good, not only the lyrics, but also the arrangement. ”

"This ......" Zhou Ke was dumbfounded. How long has it been since the last time Ye Zheng sold three albums to Baina? In three months, Ye Zheng sold five songs to Peacock Music, sold an album to Blue Dream Records, and then wrote the songs to be handed over to Mai Tian. That's at least 20 songs! In this case, he even said that he had already written two albums! Oh my God! Zhou Ke had a feeling of being struck by lightning! This news was too shocking, wasn't it? This creative ability was too terrifying, right? Also, what did he just say? The arrangement was also completed? What is the situation! He used to just sell songs, and he sold good lyrics and songs, and the sophisticated lyrics and songs of various styles have already surprised them musicians, and now he can still arrange music? And the arrangement of two albums was completed in such a short time?

What kind of work is that? Could it be that the singer Ye Zheng found is an old singer with excellent arranging experience, or he has already found someone who knows how to arrange music to work with?
