Chapter 52 Let the dragon go into the sea
After carrying the pot for Tom Hansen, John is going to see the little goblins he invited.
Led by Tom Hansen, John and his party walked into the RCA Artist Lounge floor.
The first person he met was Tido from London, England. The diva, who was born in 1971, is now only 19 years old, and it is in the mood for love. In his previous life, Tido debuted in 1996 by singing the song "FlowerstandMan" for the album of the band Faithless, and it was not until 1999 that he released his debut album "NoAngel".
In this life, because of John's intervention, the time of her debut was advanced by six years.
"Hello! John looked at the young girl in front of him with a sunny face. John at this time is the polar opposite of the cold and stern appearance of Tom Henson's office.
When he was director John Criss Deng, he could be free, he could do whatever he wanted, he could cry and laugh, and he could make friends, because he was just a director.
And as the heir of the Morgan family, JK, he can no longer do what he wants, because what he is fighting on his shoulders is not the camera, but the Morgan family and the Morgan alliance, his words and deeds represent the Morgan family and the Morgan alliance, and one of his decisions directly affects thousands of people. So the burden on his shoulders does not allow him to be free, he is not allowed to do as he pleases, and he is not even allowed to have friends.
"Hello, Director Chris Deng" Tido shyly stretched out her hand and shook John's hand, and at the same time she was very surprised, because the director was a lot of people of her age in her heart.
"Are you still used to coming to the United States?" asked John as he sat down.
Tido nodded, "It's okay!"
"Tido, there is no record company to sign you yet!" John was ready to pull the diva onto his ship.
"No," Tido shook her head.
"And what do you think of RCA Records?" John is like a big bad wolf at the moment, luring Little Red Riding Hood in front of him, who has just graduated from school.
Tido is a beauty and a talented woman in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, she is a beauty and a talented woman, and at the same time, she is also a green knife.
Later, the "NoAngel" album released by Tido sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, and the "LifeForRent" album sold 13 million copies worldwide, all of which are money! This was a matter of fame and fortune for John.
"It's very good here!" As one of the three major audiophile brands in the embryonic period of stereo sound, RCA's daimyo Tido naturally knows it very well.
John saw that Tido had a good sense of RCA, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Have you ever thought about joining RCA and becoming a member of it?" ”
"Me?" Tido heard John's words and pointed his finger at herself suspiciously. She never thought she would be able to join the RCA. For her, it is a temple in her heart, with world-class orchestras, conductors, piano masters, violin masters, flute players, singers...... Wait.
For a music graduate, it is a blessing and honor to be able to stay up close and personal with these masters who are usually only seen in books and on TV.
Tido looked at John with some apprehension, "Can I?"
John smiled, he didn't answer Tido's words directly, but turned his head to look at Tom Hansen, "What do you say! ”
"Of course, Miss Tido can come to my office with her agent in a while. Tom Hansen said with a smile. Naturally, he wouldn't be so stupid that he couldn't even see John's idea of signing Tido into the RCA.
"Great!" Tido jumped up happily, 19 years old she was still immature, so she naturally couldn't hide the excitement in her heart. When she found that everyone was watching her, Tido stuck out her tongue and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Thank you, Director Chris Deng! Thank you, President Hansen." ”
"You're welcome to join," Hansen smiled and nodded.
After watching Tido, John went on to meet with Nana and Daniel Porter, who also signed the two singers to RCA Records.
The last thing John goes to see is Sean Corey Carter, the world superstar he forcibly captured. This time, John didn't let Tom Henson and the others go with him, but went to Sean Corey Carter's room alone with Danie.
"Jay-Z! How are you doing in RCA!" Sean Corey Carter chose to name himself Jay-Z in order to say goodbye to the past, which is also in line with the future name of the world superstar.
"Hello! "Jay-Z has been very frightened of John since he was cleaned up by John. "I'm fine at RCA, why are you here?"
"I'll come and see you, sit down!" John said, pointing to the couch beside him.
After Jay-Z sat down, John continued: "I'm not going to let you sign with RCA Records, and when the movie songs are recorded, you can open your own label, I believe that with your mind in the drug business, you will be able to run this label well, and if you can't solve anything at that time, you can find my assistant Miss Miller." ”
The reason why John signed Tido and them to the RCA is because they are only suitable for being singers, and Jay-Z is more suitable for being a singer and more suitable for being a businessman, and if he is tied to the RCA, it will be a constraint on his talent.
In his previous life, Jay-Z opened Roc-A-Fella Records with his friends without a record company to produce and release his own albums.
And the success of Roc-A-Fella has also given him more money to invest in teams, clothing, bars, high-end hotels and art galleries...... Wait. This made him worth as much as $3 billion at one point.
So all John has to do is let the dragon go into the sea and the tiger back into the forest, and let Jay-Z go out on his own, while he supports him behind the scenes.
John thanked Jay-Z in this life for his support, and his business achievements will definitely surpass those in his previous life.
After listening to John's arrangement for him, Jay-Z looked at John and said, "Okay, Director Chris Deng!" After speaking, he looked at Dani and said, "Miss Miller, please take care of me in the future." ”
Dani didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
After talking about work, John then talked about the salary, and although Jay-Z had to work for him for 29 years, he also had to pay for it. You can't let people go hungry to work!
John thought for a while and said: "As for your treatment, it is 50% of the total profit, and how much money you can get depends on your ability" As a manager, John knows that it is not enough to rely on repression alone, and if you want the people below to work hard, you have to give some sweetness.
And John believes that after Jay-Z has this 50% share, he will definitely not be passive and slack off, but will work harder, because Jay-Z only has five cents for every dollar he earns, and he can only make his wallet bulge by working harder.
