Chapter Ninety-Eight: New Album

At around twelve o'clock, the meals were ready, Wang Xu and Xu Tailang were both called by Chen Feng to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, An Ruohua, Lin Yi, Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue sat on the sofa and looked at each other and smiled.

Su Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh: "An An, your Chen Feng is also too good, even he cooks, hahaha, a good man at home!"

Lin Yi and Lin Shengxue also nodded one after another.

An Ruohua smiled and said: "How can there be, I usually cook a lot, the two of us came in turns, besides, I also cooked a few years ago, but then I don't know when he also learned, and the cooking skills are not bad......"

After speaking, An Ruohua showed a happy smile on her face.

Lin Yi: "I'm so sour!"

Su Jinxiu: "I'm sour too!"

Lin Shengxue: "It's a bit sour......

An Ruohua couldn't stand the other three people joking together, and hurriedly got up with a smile and beckoned everyone to take a seat.

Chen Feng's cooking skills are really good, although he makes some home-cooked dishes, but it is very easy to conquer everyone's stomach, and everyone eats very comfortably and happily.

……

After the meal, several women took the initiative to take on the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Feng, Xu Tailang and Wang Xu could leisurely go up to the sofa to chat.

Originally, Chen Feng felt that it was not appropriate to let stars like Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue do housework, but these two people seemed to have a high level of interest, and took the initiative to help An Ruohua work.

Well, since you want to, then go for it, think about it, it's also cool to have such a female star helping to wash dishes and chopsticks in your own kitchen.

So, Chen Feng continued to chat with Xu Tailang and Wang Xu with peace of mind.

"Chen Feng, Sheng Xue's new album is about to be released. Xu Tailang suddenly said in a deep voice.

Lin Shengxue's new album has actually been in preparation for a long time, because of her special situation, everyone is very accommodating to her, from song selection, song recording, production, publicity and so on, almost completely according to Lin Shengxue's own temperament.

Therefore, the production progress of the new album is very slow.

In this regard, Lin Shengxue and Xu Tailang both felt that there was no problem, but Lin Shengxue's company was a little dissatisfied.

When Lin Shengxue started making music again, the contract was still signed to the old company, because everyone's friendship is still there, and the old company also takes care of Lin Shengxue in all aspects, and even the contract is very loose, and the boss of the company is also Lin Shengxue's old friend for many years, which can be said to be very face-saving.

However, since she is in the entertainment industry, she naturally can't escape all kinds of disputes, although Lin Shengxue's new album production almost does not occupy the company's resources, but her existence still makes some people in the company disgusted, especially Lin Shengxue's album has been delayed again and again, and the publicity and distribution work is not easy to carry out, which has even caused a lot of contradictions in some departments of the company.

Of course, some people are also playing on the topic, targeting their enemies in the workplace, but in any case, the cause is still Lin Shengxue.

In the end, things were a little ugly, and even the boss of the company had no choice but to persuade Lin Shengxue to release the album quickly, and after the release, the matter was gone, in this case, Lin Shengxue could only speed up the production of the album.

After all, although everyone has the love of the past, but a company's company is a company after all, and Lin Shengxue can't finally break all the rules and regulations for Lin Shengxue alone, so Lin Shengxue also consciously agreed with the company's boss that after the release of this album, the two parties will terminate the contract.

The boss of the company also felt very embarrassed, but for the sake of the company's development, she finally agreed, and so, after the release of this album, she became a free person again.

During this period, Xu Tailang, who had been accompanying Lin Shengxue, was deeply touched, and he gradually understood a truth, no matter how good his friendship with others is, when it comes to practical interests, everyone will only take the most beneficial choice for themselves.

Of course, this approach is natural and understandable, but Xu Tailang still felt a little sorry for Lin Shengxue after all, especially after seeing Lin Shengxue's decision, the look of loss on his face, his heart was pinched hard.

At that moment, Xu Tailang made a decision in his heart, he wanted to be his own music production and distribution company, and in the future, he would not only help Lin Shengxue make music and release albums, but also make his own brand and occupy a place in the entertainment industry!

In fact, this idea didn't come out of nowhere, now Xu Tailang is in his forties, and he can only live in his own small recording studio every day, before he was with Lin Shengxue, he felt that it was good to live like this, but since he was with Lin Shengxue, his fighting spirit has been reawakened.

For the sake of Lin Shengxue, and in order to prove himself again, he decided to fight.

……

Soon, Xu Tailang briefly told Chen Feng about his current plans, and Chen Feng listened very carefully.

"It's good, I think you can do it, I support you!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xu Tailang's eyes lit up, although he was calm on the surface, but after making such a decision, he was actually a little anxious in his heart, and at this time, he was able to get encouragement from others, which made him feel a little more at ease.

"By the way, are you interested in this? Why don't we two work together?" asked Xu Tailang expectantly.

Chen Feng's talent is clear to him, and if Chen Feng is willing to join, it will definitely be beneficial to the company.

However, Chen Feng thought about it, and finally shook his head.

"I?, forget it...... I'm lazy, and I don't have the desire and ambition to do a company, but don't worry, since you're going to be a music company, if you need me, I'll definitely do my best to help. Chen Feng said sincerely.

In fact, on the one hand, he is really afraid of trouble, on the other hand, he really doesn't want to cooperate with his good friends to do business, after all, this is a very risky thing, if it is really a partnership, the friendship between him and Xu Tailang will definitely not be as pure as it is now.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xu Tailang regretted a little, but then he didn't care anymore, he had been a recording studio for so many years, and he had a lot of money in his hands, and it was more than enough to get a small music company, just now he just invited Chen Feng to join because he just thought it was fun, but since Chen Feng refused, he didn't need to say anything.

Just when Chen Feng and Xu Tailang were discussing the company's affairs, An Ruohua, Lin Yi, Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue also walked out of the kitchen talking and laughing.

There seems to be a natural ability for girls to be close to each other, after eating a meal and getting along in the kitchen for a while, the relationship between the four women looks obviously much closer, Lin Shengxue, who was not very familiar with everyone, was also excited to talk to everyone at this time, and the smile on her face was almost never broken.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" An Ruohua came to the living room with a set of tea sets and put things on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Lin Yi, Su Jinxiu and Lin Shengxue also walked over, looking at Chen Feng and Xu Tailang with some curiosity.

Just when they were in the kitchen, they heard the two of them talking.

Xu Tailang hurriedly glanced at Chen Feng and Wang Xu on the side, and then said: "I didn't say anything, I just talked about the release of Sheng Xue's new album soon." ”

"Wow, really, Sister Shengxue, you didn't tell us just now!" Lin still said in great surprise.

An Ruohua and Su Jinxiu also looked very interested.

Lin Shengxue shook her head a little helplessly, and said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, this album only includes some old songs that I have sung in recent years, and there are not many new songs." ”

After a pause, Lin Shengxue glanced at Chen Feng again.

"However, my personal favorites are the two new songs that Chen Feng helped me write, "Encounter" and "Courage", I think you will like it too. ”

"Okay, we will definitely buy an album to support it then, I don't know what surprises Chen Feng will bring us this time!" Su Jinxiu said with a smile.

Lin still nodded: "By the way, when the time comes, Sister Shengxue, you have to give my album the most unique signature, hehe, I will wish the new album a big sale in advance here!"

Lin Shengxue agreed with a smile, but then said: "It doesn't matter if it's a big seller or not, I'm just looking for something to do for myself, besides, these days, there is almost no market for physical albums, and the digital album market is also occupied by traffic singers, and I don't have any hope anyway." ”

An Ruohua was relieved beside her: "Not necessarily, as long as the song is good, there will always be people who like it, and we don't need to be so pessimistic." ”

"Well, I hope so!" Lin Shengxue finally said.

Indeed, since more than ten years ago, the sales of music albums in the Chinese music scene began to show a cliff-like decline, when physical albums were still the main distribution mode, and the sales of albums can most directly reflect the popularity of a singer's works, and the major music lists are also very authoritative.

However, with the rise of the Internet, digital music began to develop by leaps and bounds, coupled with the fact that the copyright system had not been fully implemented in the first few years, and piracy was rampant, which made the sales of physical albums published by major music companies fall directly to the bottom, and even a large number of music companies went bankrupt as a result, and the entire Chinese music industry has almost experienced a major reshuffle.

Then, the copyright system was improved and implemented, and digital music publishing was also on the right track, and Chinese music was slightly recovered.

However, the marketing model of digital music has been exploited by many traffic star singers, and it soon became a miasma.

Because the music market has shifted from physical albums to online digitalization, it is not just a simple change in the carrier, but also the market operation rules, marketing rules, and even the trend and style changes of the music itself have also undergone earth-shaking changes!

Many singers can't fully adapt to these changes in a short period of time, so they are ruthlessly eliminated.

And those companies or celebrities who have found new rules and new rules have quickly re-carved up the market!
