Chapter 108: Cooperation with Rolling Stone
The sudden emergence of so many good songs is naturally a good thing for fans. In the past two or three months, because of Zheng Rui, the music scene has also become a lot more active, and I feel that the entire music market has become more lively and stimulated.
The media's praise of Zheng Rui is like no money, Zheng Rui did not respond to this, and he still has a low-key style.
Since the end of the show, he has continued to be his family man, living in a shallow way, and few people can get his news.
Chen Youjun's daughter Tongtong has been discharged from the hospital, but as soon as the little Lori returned to school, she beat a boy in the next class and notified her parents, which made Chen Youjun very helpless.
On this day, a person came to Zheng Rui's studio, it was Qian Bao of Rolling Stone.
In fact, before coming, the two of them had spoken on the phone two or three times in private. Zheng Rui made it clear to the other party that he would not sign any company, and now he just wants to be free and make his own music with peace of mind.
Qian Bao was very helpless about this and regretted it in his heart.
He has studied all of Zheng Rui's songs, of course, mainly after Zheng Rui left Xinghao Entertainment. There is no doubt that Zheng Rui is a treasure that is worthy of their company's attraction and investment.
It's just that now, people have mixed up and don't have a strong dependence on big companies. Even if you are separated from you, people can still have fun.
Like Zheng Rui, at present, his music only sells electronic copyrights online, but his income is very considerable, which is more flavorful than ordinary singers.
Relying only on electronic copyright income, it is better than the multi-channel income of others who run programs, commercial performances, and shoot advertisements, endorsements, etc.
In this case, there is really no need for people to work for any company to be free.
Although he Qian Bao can also give more lenient conditions and treatment, it is impossible to be completely free. Sometimes, you need to start from the company's point of view.
I came here today mainly to discuss and see if it was possible to let Zheng Rui sign the studio under their company's name. In this way, in fact, it is also very free, and the head office will not have special requirements for them, and the relationship between them can be regarded as a cooperative relationship.
"It's unbelievable that so much good music comes out of this little studio. Qian Bao looked at Zheng Rui's studio for a while.
This is the most humble studio he has ever seen, the staff plus Zheng Rui, the boss, there are only three people in total, who can believe this when it comes out?
You must know that almost all of the recent ups and downs in the music industry have been set off by Zheng Rui, just on the Feixun music platform, the top ten new songs account for almost half.
This reminded him of the famous saying: If the mountain is not high, there is a fairy, and if the water is not deep, there is a dragon!
"It's a little shabby, don't mind, sit here!" Zheng Rui smiled slightly.
After Qian Bao sat down, he went straight to the point: "Your studio should be a little more luxurious and professional." How about having the Rolling Stones come in? Rest assured, we don't ask for control. ”
In addition to this, he also stated the conditions and treatment that he thought he could decide.
The name of the studio is under their Rolling Stones, except for the need to provide a certain number of songs to the Rolling Stones every year, and they will not interfere in the big and small affairs of the studio.
If you agree, Rolling Stone can inject money, and it will not be a problem to make this studio a top-notch studio.
After all, it's not a company, a small studio, and it can be said to be top-notch after smashing tens of millions.
In addition to the infusion, once became their Rolling Stone studio. In the future, all of Zheng Rui's songs can be sold all over the world through the channels of their group.
Although Rolling Stone has declined a bit in recent years and fallen out of the world's top five music giants, the channel has not changed, covering more than 100 countries and regions, which is definitely not to be underestimated.
Of course, there are some other sporadic benefits.
After Zheng Rui heard what he said, he shook his head and said, "Don't, it's an honor for Manager Qian to look up to me." However, I'm a lazy person. Although it is said that it is under the name of Rolling Stone in the name of the studio, it is usually very relaxed. But when there are still some constraints, Manager Qian should have heard of my experience and hope to understand. ”
There were some things that Zheng Rui didn't say. For example, leaning on the name of Rolling Stone, you have to pay attention to writing songs for others in the future. At least you can't write songs for artists from companies that are hostile to Rolling Stone, right? Otherwise, where will Rolling Stone's face go?
"However, it does not affect our cooperation. Because I don't dare to guarantee anything, writing songs is random, and I don't have the ability to tailor it for anyone. If there is a suitable song, which happens to match your company's artists, then it will not be too late for us to cooperate, don't you say?" Zheng Rui continued.
He is not hypocritical, and directly stated that he may have to use the distribution channels of Rolling Stone in the future.
In fact, the attraction of the Rolling Stones to him is only that.
What he means, Qian Bao understands, that is, if there is a suitable opportunity, everyone will cooperate on a few songs, and everyone should not sign any agreement. This kind of verbal words could not achieve Qian Bao's purpose, and he frowned slightly.
However, he also knew that what Zheng Rui said made sense, no one can guarantee that he will be able to write a suitable good song, even if he is a master of music creation, he does not dare to pat his chest to guarantee.
Zheng Rui also realized that talking like this seemed to be no different from not cooperating, not even a promise.
He thought for a while, and then said: "Otherwise, ten songs a year are guaranteed, the genre is not specified, and there is no stipulation for anyone, you arrange, I only provide songs, and the quality is similar to the ones I wrote earlier." I don't ask for any share of the price, how about it?"
Hearing this, Qian Bao eased up and smiled a little.
"Is there a guarantee for 10 songs? Yes, rest assured! In addition, our company's channels can also be borrowed for you, but not for free, only for discounts. Also, I would like to ask if you can write songs in English? If I could, I would like to see three out of ten songs in foreign languages. ”
He saw that Zheng Rui had a precedent for writing dialect songs, such as "The World's First Class", and the Korean song promised to a certain group, so he asked.
"I can try, but not guaranteed. Zheng Rui replied uncertainly.
In fact, he included several foreign language songs in the chat group, but they were basically girls' versions, and I didn't feel too suitable for him to sing as a man.
"Okay, just do your best!, by the way, do you have any stock on hand? ”
When Zheng Rui heard this, he was stunned: Is it so urgent? Moreover, didn't you just wipe it and say that it was good, what type did I decide?
Qian Bao smiled bitterly, there is an old rock band in his company, and if there are no good new songs, I'm afraid it's really going to be outdated. In recent years, rock has become more and more difficult.
It is precisely because of this that Qian Bao is so eager to meet Zheng Rui. He took a fancy to Zheng Rui's ability to create rock songs.
