Chapter 102: Verbal Sword
What is a status symbol for a singer?
There is no doubt that it is the award that this singer has won and the achievements he has achieved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
To put it bluntly, it's how much he can sell when he releases an album.
Nowadays, online music is prevalent, most people are used to listening to songs on the Internet, and few people are willing to spend money to buy records and CDs and other things, so the sales of singers' albums show a diving posture.
The domestic side of China is a little better, there has always been a large number of pirated editions, so it is not very obvious. In Japan and South Korea abroad, the top singers could sell millions of records ten years ago, and after entering the new millennium, even the most popular stars, who can sell 500,000 records, are already going to open champagne to celebrate.
The same example also appeared in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, where those singers found that the money they made from singing albums was not as good as holding concerts or filming commercials, so a large number of singers chose to transform.
As for Cui Zhiyuan, the last time he released an album, he relied on his past connections and his desperate advertising, coupled with the company's efforts to publicize it, sold 100,000 copies, and finally guaranteed that he would not lose money or make money.
Cui Zhiyuan didn't even think about it when he opened his mouth like Duan Xu and said that he would sell 500,000 copies, because he felt that it was impossible.
Even if Duan Xu gave his title song good enough, he still didn't have that much confidence.
If a person fails too many times, no matter how confident he is, he will have wavering emotions, which is human nature.
Duan Xu looked at Cui Zhiyuan and said lightly: "People live, failure is everywhere, life is so desperate, this is the reality, then what should we do, you won't drown if you fall in the water, you will drown if you stay in the water, you can only have a chance to succeed if you swim and keep swimming." Some people don't fail in their lives because they don't struggle at all. We can only live a better life by seeking victory in defeat and hope in despair. ”
This passage was seen from a movie in his dream, Duan Xu liked it very much, and now that he said it, he also felt very comfortable.
And Cui Zhiyuan's breathing also became rapid with Duan Xu's words, and even the expression on his face changed, having known him for many years, He Jing found for the first time that Cui Zhiyuan's eyes had become sharp again, like the kind of appearance when he first debuted.
"Are you really that confident?" Du Yanmei asked Duan Xu at this time.
Although Duan Xu's words to Cui Zhiyuan were quite inspiring, after all, the power of words can only make people feel excited, for businessmen, only visible profits are truly exciting.
Duan Xu smiled, the expression on his face was calm: "My song is confidence. ”
What an international joke!
Du Yanmei is about to go crazy, what is Duan Xu's answer, a sentence of her own song is confidence, and she wants to send herself?
Even Li Wan felt that Duan Xu was a little too arrogant, how could he say such things in a daze.
Duan Xu shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, just sat there, holding the teacup in front of him and drinking tea, with a light and breezy appearance, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
Pretending to be this kind of thing is actually very tiring.
It's just that a powerful person pretends to be capable, and if a person without strength pretends to be a fool.
Duan Xu is undoubtedly the former, because he knows too well what kind of power these songs in his hands have, and it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as he wants, he can completely turn Cui Zhiyuan into a rock star.
Artists certainly have a homeland, but music has no borders.
Duan Xu believes that the golden songs in his dreams that can move countless people will also make countless people crazy in this world.
"Duan Xu, with all due respect, your requirements are too high. Surprisingly, the person who took the lead in speaking at this time was not He Jing, who had always looked at Duan Xu's displeasure, but Li Wan, who had the best relationship with him.
Duan Xu glanced at Li Wan: "Oh?"
"No matter how well your songs are written, I think the 50 percent requirement is too high. Li Wan faced Duan Xu's gaze and said slowly: "The album is divided into not only the record part, but also the music download part, if it is all divided according to 50%, do you know how much it is?"
She knew Duan Xu and knew that Duan Xu had not been in contact with this industry for a long time, so she said this to Duan Xu.
Li Wan sincerely hopes to promote this cooperation, and she doesn't want the cooperation between the two sides to fail because Duan Xu doesn't know how to do it.
Duan Xu smiled slightly, took out a thick notebook from his schoolbag, and handed it to Cui Zhiyuan, who was sitting opposite him: "You are a few years older than me, I will call you Brother Cui, take a look, this is the song I prepared for you." ”
Cui Zhiyuan handed over the notebook of Duan Xu, who was suspicious of the letter, opened the notebook and began to look at it.
Duan Xu looked at Li Wan and swept his gaze over He Jing and Du Yanmei: "Several, with all due respect, if you can find a better and more suitable songwriter than me, I don't think I should be sitting here today, right?"
Several people looked at each other, and no one refuted Duan Xu's words.
Because they clearly know that what Duan Xu said is not wrong at all, with their existing connections and capital, if they can find those well-known composers, they really don't need to consider cooperating with Duan Xu.
But the problem is that past facts have proved that it is really difficult for Cui Zhiyuan to become popular again.
The album three years ago was already the best that the company could do, and it sold 100,000 copies, and in the end, everything was fine without losing money.
And now, no one believes that Cui Zhiyuan can make a comeback.
The reason why I agreed to release this mini album is, on the one hand, because there is no room for choice, and on the other hand, I am unwilling to plan to play a game.
Duan Xu smiled, there are some things that everyone knows, if he doesn't have a certain certainty, how dare he sit here.
The conference room was suddenly quiet, Duan Xu was not in a hurry as if the old god was there, He Jing and the others didn't know how to speak, everyone was so deadlocked, only the sound of Cui Zhiyuan flipping Duan Xu's notebook from time to time sounded.
After a long time, just when He Jing couldn't help but ask Duan Xu, Cui Zhiyuan suddenly stood up, strode in front of Duan Xu, and grabbed Duan Xu!
