Unexpectedly, Bruno Mars is actually a talker.

Seeing Shi Zhenqiu's deity, the conversation never stopped.

"Hey man, that song you sang is amazing. I see, you haven't released it yet, have you? How about it, can you sell it to me?"

Shi Zhenqiu was still a little confused, not quite adapted to the straightforwardness of the Americans.

But he still knew what the other party meant.

I must have watched TV yesterday and happened to see my performance on that small radio station, and I was attracted by my singing.

Come to think of it, this person in front of me is the original singer of "Upton Funk", especially with the original producer Mark Rosen sitting next to him.

Musicians all have something in common, especially the music that originally belongs to them, which can definitely awaken the kind of factor in their bones.

However, when he heard that the other party wanted to buy a song, Shi Zhenqiu was a little hesitant.

After all, he knows the results of this song, and if he sings it himself, then all the honor and benefits will be obtained by himself.

"This ...... Sorry, I need to consult my company. ”

Shi Zhenqiu did not immediately refuse, but changed his statement.

He couldn't say why.

It's just that I instinctively feel that if I release this song by myself, it doesn't seem to go so well.

For things that you don't understand, of course, it's better to consult experienced seniors.

He asked Bruno Mars to sit down for a while, left the living room with the phone, and dialed Yoon Jong-sin.

At this time, it was already early morning in South Korea, the old man felt light, and Yoon Jong-shin had already gotten up.

"Well, Zhenqiu, aren't you in the United States?

Shi Zhenqiu smiled.

"Everything's fine, brother, don't worry. By the way, how about the 93line?"

This time, it was replaced by Yoon Jong-shin and laughed.

"Don't you have to worry about it? The combination you planned, the songs you made. You don't know what they're getting now. So far, they've got three of them. I discussed it with Leon and the other side, and I thought it was almost over, and I planned to let them end the event next week. ”

Hearing this good news, Shi Zhenqiu was finally relieved.

Come to think of it, the power of 93line and "Magical Girl" would be strange if it hadn't been won.

However, Yin Zhongxin's idea is also right, after all, Mystic89 has made too many moves recently, and others are overwhelmed.

The company helps to share the pressure, but it is also difficult to do things absolutely.

What's more, a month later, T-ara will return with the final installment of the Pure Trilogy. In general, give others a way to live, so as not to become the target of public criticism.

After learning about the situation of 93Line, Shi Zhenqiu informed Yin Zhongxin of the situation here.

"Brother, I've got two American musicians here, and they want to buy my songs. But I want to publish it myself, what do you think?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and after a long while, Yin Zhongxin asked in surprise, "Buy your songs?"

Shi Zhenqiu has already said that he is an American musician. Then people don't need to buy Korean songs, and they can't sing them.

"Well, yesterday I was on the recording of a local show in the United States, and then I performed an English song. I created it, but I haven't made it yet. I didn't expect to be seen by a local musician and liked it very much, so I chased it here and wanted to buy it. ”

I heard that American musicians like Shi Zhenqiu's works, and Yin Zhongxin is really envious and jealous.

"Ah, are you kid going out into the world?"

Shi Zhenqiu smiled proudly and hurriedly asked, "Brother, you haven't told me yet." This song is very good, can I release it myself?"

"Of course...... No more. ”

Yin Zhongxin gasped and almost flashed Shi Zhenqiu's waist.

"Why?"

Yoon Jong-shin makes a lot of sense.

"Ah, boy, no matter how good your songs are, let me ask you, do you have distribution channels in Europe and the United States? Do you know the distributors in Europe and the United States? Don't you know? So how do you promote and publicize, how do you distribute goods? And you are not well-known at all in Europe and the United States, and when the work comes out, who will notice?"

Yin Zhongxin asked a few questions in a row, which completely dispelled Shi Zhenqiu's enthusiasm.

Because he knows that what Yin Zhongxin said is the truth.

Just like when he first started his career as a music producer, in the European and American music circles, he was still a person with nothing.

In such a situation, it would be a joke to want to count on a good song and break in.

"Boy, listen to me, since someone wants to buy it, you can simply sell it. Not only can you get a huge amount of production money, but you can also use others to make a name for yourself in Europe and the United States. ”

Europe and the United States have better copyright protection than South Korea, so here, big-name music producers are very powerful.

As long as Shi Zhenqiu can use songs to help Bruno Mars become popular this time, there will be no fewer people who will come to him to write songs in the future.

Over time, after the network of contacts and relationships was established, he released records in Europe and the United States, and it was a matter of course.

Shi Zhenqiu is not a greedy person, so he has always been very sensible. After listening to Yin Zhongxin's analysis, he knew that this was the best course of action at present.

But it's also good that "Upton Funk" was originally a song by Bruno Mars, and now it can be regarded as a return to its original owner.

Returning to the living room, Shi Zhenqiu clarified his thoughts.

"Bruno, I'm glad you like my songs. Although we are not very familiar with each other, I think we may have a good time together. ”

Seeing him stretch out his palm, Bruno Mars and Mark Rosen were finally happy.

Holding hands with Shi Zhenqiu, Bruno Mars danced excitedly.

"Dude, I don't even know how to thank you. Thank you for recognizing me, and you know that I'm still a newcomer and am longing to be famous as much as I want to be a woman. ”

His witty words made everyone laugh.

Now that it is clear that both sides have the idea of cooperation, Shi Zhenqiu will not beat around the bush and begin to enter the topic.

"So Bruno, let's get down to business. If you want to buy my songs, what price are you going to give?"

That's really an important thing to do.

Bruno Mars and Mark Rosen got together and discussed for a long time before Bruno put on a sincere face and said what he thought.

"Man, maybe you don't know. As much as I enjoyed the song, I didn't have much money. How about half a million dollars, if you can?"

Bruno Mars really liked this song, and when he first heard it, he instinctively felt that this song would definitely be a hit.

He then recommended the song to Mark Rosen, and the famous producer also thought that the song had the potential to become a hit.

Then then, the question arises.

Bruno Mars has no money.

At this time, he is not the Martian brother he was later, he is still a newcomer who has just been signed by a record company, and he is still in the stage of writing songs for others to live.

So Bruno Mars can come up with a maximum of $500,000 for the purchase of his family.

Although 500,000 US dollars is a lot, when converted into Korean won, it is 500 million.

At least Shi Zhenqiu's popularity in South Korea now, and making a song can't reach this price.

But don't forget, this is the United States, and the market size of pop music is not comparable to that of South Korea. And the status of the producers here is very high, and the cost is naturally rising.

Half a million dollars, that's just the price of a junior producer.

But Shi Zhenqiu has already made a name for himself in Asia and has been greatly recognized, and he is not a newcomer.

And the cost of half a million dollars for this song is too little by any means.

Because when he said this, Bruno Mars was very hesitant and shy, and he didn't know how many times he had asked God, hoping to witness a miracle.

It's a pity that the miracle didn't happen, and Shi Zhenqiu was very calm.

"Bruno, I'm sure you genuinely like this song. But I have to say that the cost of 500,000 US dollars really can't show sincerity. ”

This is how it should be, and Bruno Mars knows it, his expression even darker.

"Hey man, or else, give me a little time and I'll raise money. I just hope you can keep this song and don't sell it to others, okay?"

He had already made up his mind and made a desperate bet to win the song.

If you don't have enough money, you can borrow it.

Don't look at him himself without money, but he knows a lot of powerful people in the circle, and those are rich masters.

But Shi Zhenqiu waved his hand and stopped his thoughts.

"Bruno, listen to me. I don't have much time to spend in New York, maybe I'll be back in a few days. In that case, running back and forth for a song would be too much trouble for you and me. We had to think of another way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Bruno Mars and Mark Rosen looked at each other, and they really couldn't think of any better way to get the best of both worlds.

Shi Zhenqiu smiled slightly and came up with his own thoughts.

"In this way, if you want to pay 500,000 US dollars, you can count it as my production fee, and I will help you make the song in the shortest possible time. As for the royalties I deserve, it's better than that. When this song is released, 10 percent of it will go to me. ”

What is the production cost of millions of dollars, Shi Zhenqiu didn't look at it at all.

Because compared to the income of this song, this production cost is nothing.

You have to know that the sound information told him that this song once set an astonishing record of 12.588 million total sales.

Ten percent of this sales, how much will it be?

Shi Zhenqiu can no longer calculate because his mathematical level is limited.

But he knew that once the deal was reached, he would not have to work for even a decade.

Hearing that Shi Zhenqiu wanted 10% of his income, Bruno Mars and Mark Rosen looked serious.

The two got together and kept discussing. Nodding his head for a while, shaking his head for a while, it was clear that there was a great conflict of opinions.

However, seeing the whole process of negotiation on the side, Liu Zaishi and others were surprised.

While the two foreigners were discussing, Liu Zaishi came over and said carefully: "Ah, busy, 500,000 US dollars, isn't it enough?"

Thinking that they can earn more than 500 million in a few words, Liu Zaishi and others are envious.

I guess if it were them, I would have agreed.

However, what they didn't expect was that Shi Zhenqiu was not satisfied, and asked for more.

In good faith, Liu Zaishi was afraid that Shi Zhenqiu's talk would collapse, so he gave a word of advice.

Shi Zhenqiu smiled slightly, giving Liu Zaishi an easy smile.

"Brother, you don't know the value of this song. Not to mention 500,000 US dollars, even 5 million, I am not very willing to do it. ”

In the current negotiations, Shi Zhenqiu occupies the absolute initiative and can wait for the price to sell.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if no one buys it, he can keep it, and when the time is right in the future, it's a big deal to sing it himself.

As far as he is concerned, there is nothing to lose at all.

But he knew that Bruno Mars could not afford to wait.

Because he doesn't know when he'll have enough money to buy it, and he doesn't know if he'll be bought.

More importantly, Bruno Mars is desperate for fame, like crazy.

Therefore, Shi Zhenqiu knew that he would definitely agree to his conditions.
