Chapter 354: Interests are as warm as a spring breeze
So far, he has collaborated with Tsuyoshi Domoto twice, and provided SMAP with two more songs, although both songs are more special, one made SMAP win a million singles, and the other was expected to win another million.
Other than that, he had very little time dealing with Denis. It's okay to ask him to come and talk about some records, but when he opens his mouth to talk about record companies and record dealer law, he is a little confused.
"There is no particular reason. Kitagawa gave a very willful answer, "When I learned about Ye Jun's thoughts from Kinki's agent before, I thought Ye Jun was a very special person, since we have the same thoughts, it's not bad to meet and chat." ”
"Yes......" Ye Zhao nodded.
"However, in addition, there is also something I want to hear Ye Jun's opinion," Kitagawa changed his words, "Now that the record company is being built, Kinki's debut will also start to prepare later, if it is Ye Jun, can they make their debut single reach one million?"
"The debut single reached one million?" Ye Zhao hesitated, "I think, I'm afraid it's hard to say 'absolutely'." ”
The Kid is really popular, although he hasn't debuted yet, but the TV series starring has good ratings, and a videotape can be a big hit when he starts a concert, but unlike SMAP, which has survived and the previous records have a guaranteed combination, how much their popularity can convert into sales, this is actually still unknown.
It's not a question of whether the songs you take out are good or not.
"Can't even Ye Jun do it?" Kitagawa said meaningfully, "no matter what method you use." ”
"No matter what method you use?" Ye Zhao's heart moved. This meaning, it seems that he is going to play a record dealer law on the debut single of the boy.
However, if you say anything, you have to take a million, and Kitagawa's obsession is deep enough.
But slander is slander, Ye Zhao can understand why he is like this. For this group, their popularity was already very high two years ago, and now it has reached its peak, and it can even be said that the next debut is their peak.
In particular, Kitagawa also set up a record company for them himself, and now the outside world is waiting to see whether his decision is wise or just to make others laugh.
The Kid is not only Kitagawa's trump card that he has high hopes for and is ready to make a comeback in one fell swoop, but also in a sense, he is also his experiment, and most of his record dealer methods and strategies must be used on them first.
Especially after trying to negotiate with SMAP's record company and being rejected, these two guys are even more obliged to be tossed as guinea pigs.
If you want to talk about record business law, Ye Zhao, who has seen all kinds of business laws in later generations, can definitely say a bunch of ideas that make the cunning Kitagawa say a word of "cow (silence)".
However, the record dealer law is actually a little bit of boiling frogs in warm water, and now everyone's discipline has not fallen clean, if it is really so explicit, it is estimated that it will have to rebound first and be boycotted, and the frog will be scalded to death at one time.
Therefore, Ye Zhao said implicitly: "Doesn't Jenny Sang already have a strategy? The first version and the usual version that I wanted to use on SMAP Sang but couldn't make it." ”
It's even better to say that this strategy was thought of when he planned the record company, and it was just a test to tell Victor.
Listening to his words, Kitagawa smiled for the first time in today's meeting, "Ye Jun's vision is really accurate. After a pause, he added: "But, this is not enough, is there anything that can be added?"
Since it was in his arms, Ye Zhao thought about it and said: "For example, give up the C/song, only include the main song, and the top songwriter will provide the song, and then in terms of price, since there is only one song, the price is only 500 yen, with good publicity, the initial sales will be very good." ”
Two songs sell for 1,000 yen, and one song sells for 500 yen, which is the current market. However, whether it is a thousand-dollar plate or a five-hundred-yuan plate, it is the same when recording sales. So cheap disks really have an advantage in terms of sales figures.
The reason why we use the best songwriters is to attract passers-by to buy the record for the song, and on the other hand, if the quality of the song itself is very high, even if a strategy such as bundling is used, consumers will eliminate some of the resistance because the record itself is of good quality.
Kitagawa thought for a moment and suddenly proposed, "Can Ye Jun write this debut song for Kinki?"
"Shall I write it?" Ye Zhao was a little surprised.
Kid's debut single Glass Boy is a song written by Yamashitaro and lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto, both of whom are top veteran songwriters, and they also have a deep friendship with Kitagawa, so it's normal to use them, but it's different to use someone like him who hasn't worked with Genesy a few times.
Moreover, if you want to say that it is a best-selling - Tetsuya Komuro and Tetsuro Oda are also popular, but Kitagawa didn't use them, and still chose those two, which is also out of their absolute trust.
And now, Kitagawa's invitation song is also a signal to express "absolute trust" Ye Zhao.
"Yes. Think about it, how?"
According to Kitagawa's posture and the popularity of the boy, if this single is really written, the guaranteed sales of one million copies are absolute - no matter how bad the sales methods will be used by Janis, the only thing he needs to worry about when providing the songs is whether he will count the royalties softly.
However, he didn't agree immediately, but first excused himself: "If it's a single after his debut, there is absolutely nothing to say here, but Jenny San's two who value Kinki so much, in the debut song, it is better to use more trusted talents." ”
"Maybe it's good to use other composers, but I want Ye Jun to write this song even more. Kitagawa was unexpectedly very persistent, "Ye Jun brought us the first million-dollar single since the nineties, and his own commercial achievements are also impeccable. ”
"More importantly, Ye Jun's vision and grasp of popularity are impeccable, and I believe in Ye Jun. ”
said the "believe" so straightforwardly, Ye Zhao really felt the sincerity from Kitagawa. Although Jennis has a lot of notoriety, he has a good relationship with TV stations, well-known producers and songwriters, and he can do this, of course, not only because they have power, but also because he has a good relationship.
"Ruthless as a cold wind to enemies, as warm as a spring breeze to friends", this may be Genesys's way of treating people. Although he also knew in his heart that the second half of this sentence should be "warm as a spring breeze for interests".
KK's debut business law, if you are interested, you can learn about it, Jenny San is really bold and thoughtful.
