In the past few days, Fang Tianwu has begun to record songs.

First of all, there are several songs that have been released, Fang Tianwu has a unique voice, strong singing skills, and Xian Guang, a strong music producer, is staring at it, so the process is relatively smooth.

In addition to the original producers hired by Fang Yicheng, in order to make it more convenient to arrange and produce song soundtracks, Xian Guang used his connections in the music industry to find several talents after obtaining the consent of Fang Tianying and Fang Yicheng.

The scores are all ready-made, and Fang Tianyu, a person who knows the songs well, is supervising them, so there is no difficulty in arranging the music, they only need to make the music according to Fang Tianhu's requirements.

Compared with the smooth production of the record, the distribution that Fang Yicheng was responsible for encountered problems.

Just as Fang Tianyu was worried.

The distributors who originally agreed to cooperate with Tiancheng Culture and help Tiancheng Culture distribute records, after Fang Yicheng proposed to sign a contract immediately, except for Lingnan Province, which is Fang Yicheng's "sphere of influence", the distributors in the surrounding provinces all shirked for various reasons.

According to their meaning, it's not that they don't sign a contract, but they have to wait for Fang Tianyu's record to be produced, and let them see how the quality is before officially signing a contract.

Fang Yicheng is also an old fox who has been cultivating for many years, and as soon as he heard the excuses of these publishers, he knew that they were not determined to cooperate with Tiancheng Culture. If the record is given to them, something else may happen.

As a result, the distribution channel that Tiancheng Culture can really open up is actually only Lingnan Province.

In the office of the CEO of Tiancheng Culture, Fang Yicheng was sitting behind his desk smoking a cigarette.

Fang Tianwu sat on the sofa opposite, and in this spacious office, there were only their nephews and uncles.

"Uncle, this is to be expected. Fang Tianwu comforted: "You have been in this industry for so long, you should also know that the business of distribution is actually very old-fashioned, how can the vested interests of these people be easily touched by outsiders." ”

Fang Tianwu knows very well that the three major record companies are the largest distributors in China. Even, the reason why they can become the Big Three is largely because of their strong distribution capabilities.

It is true that Neptune Music, Venus Group, and Tianlong Records cannot catch all the domestic singers and include them all under their own banners. However, they are able to influence and even manipulate the entire record market through distribution.

Singers have to sell their records to ordinary consumers. Otherwise, if you produce a record, but you can't sell it in the warehouse, how can this form sales?

Although there are countless publishers all over the country, they are just offline in the eyes of the three major record companies.

Too often, they can only bow their heads and brow to the big three record labels.

Therefore, even if the three major companies can't control the singers outside, they can take advantage of the distribution and bite a large part of the profits on their record sales.

And these three giants have been rampant in the distribution market for so many years, and this market has long been divided by them, forming a circle of influence with vested interests, and no one else is allowed to enter at all.

At the beginning, Shengshi Entertainment used "The Voice of Youth" and "Singing Fanghua" to become popular all over the country, and tapped many potential singers, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.

But Shengshi Entertainment has never reached the scale of the three major record companies, and one of the biggest reasons is that it is limited by them in terms of distribution.

Now Tiancheng Culture is rashly trying to open up this road, and it is conceivable what difficulties it will encounter.

Fortunately, Fang Tianwu reminded him in time, and then signed with those distributors when the record was produced, if they turned their faces and refused to help Tiancheng Culture release it, then Fang Tianhu's records could only be hoarded there, and if they wanted to sell them, they had to let them handle it.

Fang Yicheng also mentioned whether he could use the reputation of Fang Tianyu's album to make fans force the publishers to comply.

However, his proposal was vetoed by Fang Tianwu without hesitation.

Everyone knows that Fang Tianhu's first album will definitely be popular in the market as soon as it is released, but if these records are not released in various places and sold to these fans, then their expectations for Fang Tianhu will eventually evolve into dissatisfaction.

No matter how good the song is, you can't buy a record. It can be said that the better the reputation of this album, the stronger the dissatisfaction of fans.

When the time comes, the publisher will not be forced to comply, but will destroy Fang Tianyu's image first.

If this situation really comes, in order to keep Fang Tianyu's image, then even if it is a cheap sale, Tiancheng Culture will have to sell the record to these distributors.

As a result, the old-fashioned business of publishing has become the biggest obstacle in front of Fang Tianyu.

In fact, Fang Tianwu already had an idea, but now the time has not yet come.

"Now it seems that we can only find one of the three giants to cooperate?" Fang Yicheng said a little deflated: "If we can't take this step now, our future road will not be easy." Even if Tiancheng Culture really rises, it will be just another prosperous entertainment at most. We don't have our own distribution system, we always have to look at their faces!"

Fang Tianwu groaned: "Uncle, bear with it first." I have a way to break this situation of being controlled by others, but the time has not yet come, and if I do it rashly, it is likely that the three giants will join forces to fight back. ”

"Hmm, do you really have a way to break the deadlock?" Fang Yicheng didn't expect Fang Tianhu to really have a way.

"That's right, uncle, don't worry, it will only be half a year at most, and we don't need to be so aggrieved. Fang Tianwu was full of confidence.

Fang Yicheng sighed: "It will take half a year? Then we have to let them cut a piece of meat out of our current album?"

"There's no way, at this stage, since fame and fortune can't be both, then we can only play the signboard first and seize the fame. Uncle, the eldest husband should be able to bend and stretch, let's just endure it. Fang Tianwu said.

"So which company should we work with?"

Fang Tianwu thought for a moment, and then said, "Find Venus." In the previous competition between me and Ren Fei, Tianlong Records released Sun Mudong, and Yu Yunshu also told me that Neptune Music may also be involved. ”

"Although Venus didn't do it, or he did, it just wasn't noticed. Fang Yicheng said: "These predators, none of them are good men and women." ”

Fang Tianwu nodded, and said with a smile: "Even if Venus had made moves before, they were not noticed by the outside world, at least they seemed to be a little smarter than Aquaman Music or Tianlong Records." Besides, we're not without a bit of leverage.

Uncle, since we have decided to ask them to help with the distribution, we don't need to spend time running on the distribution side for the time being. In that case, let's make the record first. When the time comes, you take this record and go to Venus, let them listen to it first, and then talk to them about collaboration.

If they offer a partnership that goes too far, you put on a gesture and say we'd rather not sell the record and just put it on a music site for people to listen to for free. Moreover, if they have a heavyweight singer in Venus who has recently released a film, we will keep an eye on this time to release the song and block their singer!"

Fang Yicheng was shocked, Fang Tianwu meant that if the other party did not have the sincerity to cooperate, or the conditions proposed were too excessive, his side would fight with the attitude of not making money and only selling and shouting, staring at the heavyweight singers under the other party, when they release the film, when they will release the song for free, and destroy their sales.

I have to say that this trick is very vicious, and it is easy to form a deep hatred.

But Fang Yicheng also agreed to this plan after thinking about it, because if Tiancheng Culture does not prepare certain countermeasures, it will be easy to be caught by the other party and become the other party's money-making machine.

What Tiancheng Culture wants is only a relatively fair intention to cooperate, and in the end it will achieve a win-win result.

"Okay, just do as you say!" Fang Yicheng said.

Another benefit of choosing Venus to work with one of the three giants is to share the pressure of Tiancheng Culture.

Because Fang Tianwu has been too popular recently, it has attracted public attention one after another. And the musical talent he showed was so great that almost all record companies wanted to take him for themselves.

Now that Tiancheng culture has begun to be exposed, it is easy to attract other people's open swords and hidden arrows. And with a giant like Venus on his side, those people have to think twice before they want to do it.

After making a plan, Fang Tianyu was ready to make this album.

As soon as he opened the door of the office, he saw Shen Lijun appear at the door, obviously coming to look for him.

"Vulture, Ren Fei called over there and said he wanted to talk to you. Shen Lijun said.

Fang Tianwu sneered when he heard this: "It is estimated that I asked him for compensation." ”

Shen Lijun nodded and said, "Yes, the person who called is Ren Fei's lawyer." ”

"Then let him come over, Lijun, you can also help me contact the lawyer, this kind of thing, of course, is left to the professionals. ”

The people on Ren Fei's side came quickly, and it was estimated that they were ready before calling Fang Tianhu's side, and Fang Tianwu asked them to come directly to Tiancheng Culture's office to find themselves.

As expected, Ren Fei himself did not appear, and Fang Tianwu guessed that he didn't dare to come over to meet him, so he didn't care.

As for the lawyer on Fang Tianhu's side, it was recommended by Huang Jinshu, and the previous lawyer's letter was also sent by Fang Tianwu on behalf of their law firm.

The lawyer's name was Yang Li, a man in his thirties, who looked polite.

"Mr. Fang, hello, I have admired your name for a long time! I like your songs very much!"

Yang Li was also seeing Fang Tianwu himself for the first time, and he was more excited.

Fang Tianwu also has a lot of respect for this lawyer, after all, it is impossible to be recommended by someone like Huang Jinshu without much ability.

I only heard Yang Li say: "Although I have communicated with Mr. Fang and your side before, I still want to ask Mr. Fang your opinion on this lawsuit." Mr. Other, what kind of expectations do you have for the outcome of this lawsuit, or what kind of outcome do you want?"
