Chapter 115: Shotguns for Cannons
There were fans picking up the plane, although there were not many, but Cao Wu and they were also a little flattered.
A skinny black girl came up to them, held up a notebook, and said, "Hello, can you sign for me? I'm a fan of yours." ”
Cao Wu looked down, but saw that her thick notebook was signed with the names of many stars, and the last one was the name of a second-tier actor.
Professional enough!
There was also a couple behind her, after signing her name, the couple approached, and the boy was a little excited: "Hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, I started to follow you from believing in myself, and I like every song of yours! ”
The girl next to him looked at Lele, covered her mouth and smiled: "Lele, I like you the most, you look so handsome playing bass!"
"Really, I think so too!"
After experiencing a music festival, Lele already has some experience, but being praised so face-to-face that she can't help but blossom.
After helping a few fans sign their names, Cao Wu and his entourage walked to the underground parking lot with Zhang Rong.
The company rented a commercial vehicle as their means of transportation, and Zhang Rong had a driver's license, which is the most basic skill of an agent.
"Mr. Niu recruited a lot of people this time, and the company's shelf was set up this time. Zhang Rong introduced the company's situation while driving: "Now the company is divided into three departments, brokerage department, enterprise publicity department and marketing department. I am currently the head of the brokerage department, mainly responsible for artist packaging and promotion, performance planning and execution, and performing arts management and agency. ”
"The person in charge of the enterprise publicity department is a person recruited by Mr. Niu, who used to be a forest musician, and is Minister Wang's deputy, named Xu Zhiqiang. He has experience in music planning and production, media operation and communication. ”
"Mr. Niu is also the person in charge of the marketing department, mainly responsible for contacting your advertising production and agency, record distribution and promotion related business. ”
"This time, Mr. Niu entrusted a lot of connections to rent this recording studio, this studio is famous in the magic capital, many well-known singers and bands have recorded in this studio, it can be said that it is a holy place for musicians. Mr. Niu has been making appointments since November last year, and he has only made an appointment this month, think about it......"
Zhang Rong sent Cao Wu and his entourage to the hotel, and they will live here for the next half a month.
After putting down their luggage, Cao Wu and the others boarded the car again and headed to Ruitong Building, where the company was located.
The company is on the 28th floor of the Ruitong Building, adjacent to an early childhood education center.
The whole glass curtain wall is full of modern atmosphere, and the pure black art font is pasted above the glass door, Xinghai Culture Media Co., Ltd., which is the legendary base camp.
This is the first time that Cao Wu and others have come to the company, and they are full of curiosity about everything.
The office is not too big, at most 300 square meters, divided into five areas, namely office, reception, meeting, rest, and rehearsal.
In the office area, more than a dozen employees are busy in front of the computer, and roughly speaking, the average age is not more than 30 years old.
Niu Li was at an employee's desk, leaning over the partition and bending over to say something.
Seeing Cao Wu and others coming in, she greeted her and said with a smile: "It's hard work, I'll introduce you to the company's employees." ”
As soon as they entered, the employees in the office area were curious to look at them.
After entering the company, of course, everyone knows what the company's core business is, so everyone is still full of curiosity about the magical cash cow of the Black Hole Band.
Everyone made a brief self-introduction, in addition to the five veterans brought out by Niu Li, this time she recruited six more people, and the company currently has a total of twelve employees, which makes the already stretched financial situation of the company deficit again.
The organizers of the Guangzhou Music Festival have sent the remaining appearance fees over to renew a wave of blood, but if you want to support so many people, you have to increase income-generating channels.
Niu Li has already talked about the KTV copyright, and at present, Qian Gui has the greatest possibility of winning the bid, and if she signs a contract, there will be a lot of money coming in, but she is still a little reluctant.
However, it takes money to record albums, shop sales channels, and operate and promote, and the Black Hole Band is short of time, so they don't have time to take on commercial performances and advertisements, otherwise these two things alone are enough to support the company.
After getting to know each other, Cao Wu secretly remembered everyone's name in his heart, but Lele couldn't help it.
She grabbed Niu Li and asked, "Sister Li, didn't you say that there was a surprise this time, what is the surprise?"
"I also said that we should organize everyone to have a meal first!" Niu Li smiled.
However, seeing the excited looks of several people, she still waved her hand and said, "Let's go! ”
Bypassing the lounge, Cao Wu and the others went to the innermost room, which was not separated by glass, but made of plates, and it looked quite new.
Pushing open the door of the room, Lele and the others' eyes were straight.
Batu rushed in with a "whoosh", and went straight to the brand-new set of pearlescent paint in the center of the room, and after looking at the drum surface, he jumped up happily: "It's the pearl's export drum set! There is also a set of Shabin B8X! This set is worth 10,000, right?"
"Ahh
Niu Li brought Cao Wu and Lu Qingsong in and introduced: "ROLAND's FA06 synthesizer, high-quality timbre, high-value appearance, does Qingsong like it?"
"I like it!"
Lu Qingsong's eyes never took off the synthesizer since he opened the door.
"And ......," Niu Li continued, but before she could speak, Cao Wu took over.
"There's also the Gibson myth of Les Paul Traditional, the classic double-twin pickup with a thick and powerful anti-interference, notched gourd shape, which is every guitarist's dream guitar. Cao Wu's eyes were full of nostalgia.
In his previous life, he also had one, and he spent more than a year saving money for it, but he broke it in a transportation, and he felt distressed for a long time.
Picked it up, connected the pickups and speakers, and he tried the timbre, and the effect was very good.
This is a classic electric guitar, and most of the early hard rock, heavy metal, and nuclear music will choose Gibson, and the impact of the double pickups scratching the bass strings is not for nothing.
"How's it going? Are you still satisfied with this surprise?" said Niu Li.
"Satisfied! Satisfied! So satisfied! Sister Li, I really love you to death!" Looking at Lele's excited appearance, it is estimated that I will have to sleep with the bass tonight.
Batu didn't hear Niu Li's question at all, he was already sitting on the drum bench, took out the drumstick and beat a rhythm.
"Brittle!" Batu couldn't help but shout, after all, it was the pearl drum, and compared to this set of drums, his own set of second-hand maises could already be thrown away.
"Sister Li, shouldn't you have bought all the equipment for the festival's appearance fee?" Cao Wu asked, plucking the strings.
"Of course! Good steel should be used on the blade!" Niu Li clenched her fists and said confidently: "This album, I want to make you a hit!"
