Chapter 166: The Record Company Is Like a Great Enemy!
Li Xueyu took out a contract at this time and officially signed Michael Jackson to Violet Records. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The moment Li Zetian saw his name, he was overjoyed, this is Michael Jackson, what a great singer, and now he has become an artist under his company, this sense of accomplishment is quite cool. In the future, the company will engage in product endorsements, movie cameos or other activities, and inviting him is not a matter of words?
The celebrity effect, the fan economy, is there in any era.
used to be mainly literati and sauchers, but now they are mainly film and television singers.
In the previous life, NetEase's Weibo had no users at the beginning, and it was useless to spend a lot of money to promote, but since inviting celebrities to open Weibo, it didn't take long for Weibo to become popular, because celebrities' fans have registered Weibo and paid attention to their idols, which led to a surge in Weibo popularity. For example, when Tencent developed QQ chat software, it was not very popular, Ma Huateng had to play various roles and chat with people in person, pretending to be stupid and selling cute women to flirt with all kinds of things, how difficult the process was is not enough for outsiders. If a large number of celebrities register QQ accounts for promotion and establish fan groups, fans are not allowed to register QQ accounts one after another, and then join the group, I am afraid it will not take long for QQ to become popular.
To sum up, celebrities are a very useful resource, and Li Zetian naturally wants to keep them in his hands as much as possible!
"Jackson, you don't have to worry about Philadelphia International Records, Fina Lee will talk to them, you will come to Violet Records to record a new album starting tomorrow!" Li Zetian smiled.
Michael Jackson nodded, and then asked, "The company has already helped me write the song?"
"I helped you write three title songs. For the rest of the songs, the company will contact well-known composers to write songs for you. Of course, you can also consider writing your own songs. Li Zetian replied with a smile.
"Mr. Li, I'm hoping to bring in the album producer, Quincy Jones, with whom I worked on my last best-selling album, Off-The-Wall!!!
"No problem," Li Zetian nodded and smiled, Quincy Jones is indeed a very good album producer, and Michael Jackson's most representative album "Thriller" in his music career is also with him. This album became the number one album in many countries around the world, and derived 10 singles that have topped the charts 7 times in a row. Thriller was later included in the Library of Congress's National Sound Recording Archive as part of the "cultural, historical, and aesthetic record" of the United States. With 104 million copies sold, Thriller is unrivaled worldwide, generating $4.1 billion in revenue. As for the influence, it's even more indescribable!
Li Zetian turned his head to look at Li Xueyu at this time and asked, "Jingqiu is recording songs in the recording studio?"
"Yes, Mr. Li. Li Xueyu nodded in response.
Li Zetian then turned to Michael Jackson and said: "Another contracted singer of the company is now recording songs in the recording studio, and I will take you to get to know him." At present, the company only has two of you who have signed a singer. ”
"Yes, Mr. Li. Michael Jackson was shocked, he knew that the other signed singer was Li Zetian's wife, and he couldn't treat her as an ordinary signed singer.
After a while, everyone came to the recording studio, Yu Jingqiu was wearing headphones and singing affectionately, not noticing that Li Zetian and his party walked behind her.
Michael Jackson was shocked because he thought the song was great, a very rare classic!
"Is this a song written by Mr. Li? It is said that all of his wife's songs were written by him alone......" Michael Jackson was surprised and puzzled.
After Yu Jingqiu finished singing, he removed the headphones and was slightly surprised when he saw so many people around.
Li Zetian applauded and said, "Yes, you sing very well!"
Yu Jingqiu said with a smile: "The key is that the song is well written. ”
Li Zetian pointed to Michael Jackson at this time and introduced: "This is Michael Jackson, the second signed artist of Violet Records. ”
"Hello, Mrs. Li, I'm Michael Jackson, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Michael Jack took the initiative to step forward, and greeted him humbly and politely, opposite is the proprietress of the boss, how she mixes here in the future depends on her attitude.
"Hello, Jackson!" Yu Jingqiu nodded and smiled, and at the same time, her eyes looked at him carefully, thinking to herself, it must be extraordinary to make the singer handpicked by Zetian think about it!
"Honey, I see that this song "I'm -Yours" has almost been recorded, and it is time to record the second song. Dongfang Yuqin, bring me a pen and paper. Li Zetian looked at Dongfang Yuqin and ordered. In fact, this is Li Zetian deliberately wanting to show his talent in front of Michael Jackson, so that Michael Jackson is full of confidence and desperately joins Violet Records.
Soon, Dongfang Yuqin brought paper and pens. Li Zetian spent a minute or two writing a new song - "My-Heart- Will- Go-On", the theme song of the "Titanic" movie sung by Canadian female singer Celine Dion in 1997!!
Needless to say, this song is a classic of classics!
Yu Jingqiu took the score and read it for a while, her face was full of shock, just because this song was written so well, and it was very difficult.
"You try to sing, and I'll accompany you on the piano. Li Zetian said and sat down in front of the piano.
Yu Jingqiu nodded and took a deep breath.
At this time, the piano sounded, and Yu Jingqiu began to sing along with the rhythm:
“Every-night -in -my -dreams
I -see -you,I -feel -you
……
”
For a while, everyone was amazed, although Yu Jingqiu was slightly flawed because he was not familiar with this song, but it did not prevent everyone from appreciating this song.
Li Xueyu exclaimed: "The melody is very lyrical from the initial gentle to the passionate, to the lingering climax, and to the final tragic ending, which is definitely a classic among love songs!!"
Li Zetian said with a smile: "It would be more perfect if you added Irish tin whistle to the soundtrack, and the Irish tin whistle with strong national charm will make this song more melodious and poignant!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but imagine in their minds the effect of the Irish tin whistle being added to the song, and they were deeply moved.
Michael Jackson was inexplicably excited at this moment, "Chronos Li is so good at writing songs, how about the three songs he wrote for me?" Michael Jackson was full of curiosity and eager to know.
Li Zetian thought of someone in his heart at the moment, because when he sang the song "My-Heart- Will- Go-On", he thought of pop diva Celine Dion, she is also one of Li Zetian's favorite female singers, and she is still a little Lori. However, Celine Dion debuted very early, in 1980, 12-year-old Celine Dion entered the music industry, born with a good singing voice and super potential stocks.
Do you want Lori to cultivate?
Li Zetian couldn't help but smile, thinking that this attention was quite good. At this time, he noticed that Michael Jackson's eyes were very hot when he looked at him, as if they were about to melt him. Li Zetian knew that Michael Jackson wanted to know what song he had written for him, so he said: "Jackson, you come to record the song tomorrow, and I will have someone give you a new song!"
"Hmm!!" Michael Jackson nodded.
Li Zetian looked at it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he left Violet Records.
Li Xueyu then negotiated with Philadelphia International Records and paid the contract breaking fee.
However, the other party was very unhappy, and revealed to the media that day that Violet Records poached Michael Jackson and satirized Violet Records in the newspaper.
The popularity of "Off-The-Wall" made Michael Jackson a very popular singer, and many media and television stations reported the news that night. Fans and industry insiders began to pay attention to Violet Records, and people were full of doubts.
How did a small record company poach Michael Jackson? Philadelphia International Records is a very powerful record company!
However, it was soon dug up by reporters for useful information.
The next morning, the paparazzi broke the news that caused a sensation in the United States: "The wife of super-billionaire Chronos Li is the first singer to sign to Violet Records! Violet Records is the record company that Chronos Li has set up specifically for his wife!"
As soon as the news came out, it caused heated discussions in the United States, and the headlines of the entertainment section were undoubtedly occupied by this news.
Violet Records became the center of everyone's attention, and a large wave of reporters blocked the company's door.
Li Xueyu was instructed by Li Zetian to openly announce to media reporters that his wife was indeed a contracted singer of Violet Records, and asked everyone to leave and not affect the normal operation of the company, otherwise call the police!
The reporters received accurate answers and left one by one satisfied.
The people who eat melons will watch it lively, but the record company is like a big enemy, and it is difficult to sleep and eat!
The CEO of PolyGram Records couldn't help but sigh: "Chronos・Li, a fierce tiger, pounced on the record market, and from then on, the record market will be in chaos!!
