Chapter 128: New Year's Greetings

As soon as the car arrived in the market town of Hongtu Town, Liao Fanmin's mobile phone rang.

It was actually a call from Yin Jian.

Yin Jian has been in Xuanming City for two days, and he arrived on the third day of the first lunar month, who knows that Liao Fanmin went back to his hometown for the New Year, and the mobile phone signal in Sujiabao Village is still not good, Yin Jian can't make a phone call at all, he thought of driving directly to Sujiabao Village, but thinking that it was the family that celebrated the New Year together, Yin Jian still chose to wait in the hotel.

After getting out of the car, Liao Fanmin went directly to the hotel, thinking twice, he didn't plan to let Yin Jian come to his house.

Yin Jian was waiting at the door of the hotel, and Xiaoxue was sitting in the lobby of the hotel.

Seeing Liao Fanmin from a distance, Yin Jian walked quickly.

"Brother, I waited for nearly two days, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to give you a New Year's greeting."

"Yin Jian, don't say that, I'm really embarrassed to come all the way from Nanhua City and keep you waiting."

While talking, the two walked towards the hotel, and Xiaoxue had already walked out of the lobby of the hotel and stood at the door waiting.

During the Spring Festival, there are almost no guests staying in the hotel, and the hall is very quiet.

After entering the hotel, Liao Fanmin walked straight to the service desk, ready to order a table of wine and food.

"Brother, don't, I've already decided on the food and drink, let's have a good drink tonight, I haven't seen each other for so long, I have a lot to say."

This time Xiaoxue did not wear sunglasses, her face with light makeup looked quite delicate, and the passage of time still carved a mark on Xiaoxue's face, at least in Liao Fanmin's opinion, Xiaoxue no longer had the time when they first met

Maybe it's because the city of Xuanming City is too small, Xiaoxue doesn't want to go to the street to hang out, she enters the elevator and returns to simplicity.

Most of the people who fall into the entertainment industry cannot be simple.

went to the room, and Yin Jian went to the street with Liao Fanmin.

Liao Fanmin lit a cigarette and walked forward silently, without speaking, he knew that Yin Jian had worked tirelessly to rush from Nanhua City to Xuanming City, there must be something going on, otherwise he could pay New Year's greetings in Nanhua City, and he didn't have to go so far.

When Yin Jian sang for the New Century Company to promote commercial housing, Liao Fanmin promised to give Yin Jian one or two new songs.

It should be said that with the passage of time, songs such as "Two Butterflies" have become familiar and spread all over the country, Yin Jian's fame is also in full swing, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is an out-and-out superstar in the music world, but Liao Fanmin knows very well that Yin Jian is a professional singer after all, and it is impossible to rely on three singers to win the world, but he still has to continue to launch good new songs, so as to be able to truly protect his position in the music world.

There are also singers who hit the world with a good song, but such singers will not be popular for a long time.

After the album of "Two Butterflies", Yin Jian launched another album, Liao Fanmin also heard this album, but he did not have the slightest impression of the songs in it, and later he couldn't even remember the name of this album.

If you can't launch good songs soon, Yin Jian's reputation in the entertainment industry will slowly begin to decline, after all, the competition in the entertainment industry is too fierce, and some good songs have appeared in the music industry in the past two years, but they give people the impression that they are not as good as "Two Butterflies", "Nanshan Nan" and "I Met You in the Red Dust" sung by Yin Jian.

Yin Jian's age is not too old, and he has no time to retreat bravely from the rapids.

"Brother, the record company is ready to continue to sign with me, they help me write songs, and also help sell records, you see if I signed with them."

Liao Fanmin looked at Yin Jian and didn't speak immediately, he knew that Yin Jian's words hadn't finished yet.

"It's just that this signing, the record company has a requirement, that is, the remuneration I get, it must be combined with the sales of the record, if the sales of the record are not good, I may have to be responsible for all the expenses."

"What does this mean, Yin Jian, can you explain the meaning more clearly."

"Oh, then I'm going to say it in layman's terms, the record company means, that is, all the costs of releasing records in the future need to be borne by myself, including the cost of creating songs, the cost of recording records, if the sales of the record are not good, not only will I not get the money, but I will have to post it upside down...

"What does the record company have to do with you?"

"I can't live without the record label."

"That's right, I'm not very clear about the internal affairs of the record company, so it's not good to give you any advice, but I think this way of signing is not very appropriate, whether the sales of the record are good or not has a lot to do with the song, if the song is not good, the record will definitely not sell, everyone understands this truth."

"yes, it's been almost a year, and the record company has helped me with some songs, but I always feel like I can't do it."

"When you last recorded a record, were all the songs in it given by the record company?"

"yes, I didn't want to sing or release an album, but the record company thought I could try, and it didn't sell well, and I'm still regretting it."

Liao Fanmin threw away the cigarette in his hand.

"Yin Jian, what do you think of yourself, are you ready to sign a contract with a record company?"

"I haven't decided on this yet, I really haven't made up my mind."

Speaking of this, Yin Jian looked at Liao Fanmin.

Liao Fanmin quickly understood the meaning, Yin Jian wanted to get his Liao Fanmin's help, if he could provide more than two new songs, then Yin Jian would dare to sign a contract with the record company, after all, the past created by Liao Fanmin was extraordinary.

"Yin Jian, whether to sign a contract with a record company, I can't help you make up your mind, and ultimately you have to rely on yourself, but I think about it, a really strong record company can find good songs, if the record company does not have such strength, then it will be difficult for itself to survive, although I am not very familiar with the entertainment industry, but I also know that those big record companies often sign contracts with many famous songwriters, so that the record company can ensure that there are constantly good songs for the singers under their command...

"What you're saying is just that I think I've always signed with this record company, after all, people have helped me, and if I leave at this time, I always don't want to go."

Liao Fanmin shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Yin Jian, I understand what you mean, but for the sake of your singing career, I still suggest that you find a record company with enough strength, it is best to go to the south, there are many record companies over there The strength is not ordinary, the record company in Nanhua City cannot be compared with the record company in the south, people go to high places, water flows to low places, good birds choose trees to perch, not to mention that you are making a living in the entertainment industry, I don't know if you think what I said makes sense."

"That's true, but I can't bear it."

"When you continue to suffer from the chaos, I am afraid you have to make up your mind earlier, according to your current fame, there will be no problem in joining the record company in the south."

Yin Jian looked at Liao Fanmin for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Brother, there is one thing I made a big mistake, that is, I sold the copyright of the three songs "Two Butterflies", "Nanshan Nan" and "I Met You in the Red Dust" to the record company, which caused me to leave the record company and enter other record companies, and I couldn't continue to sing these three songs, but if I can't sing these three songs, why do other record companies want me."

Liao Fanmin nodded, and suddenly realized, this can be described as a success and a failure, "Two Butterflies", "Nanshan Nan" and "I met you in the red dust" The three songs made Yin Jian famous, but the record company had already thought of this hand, and when Yin Jian had just entered the record company and was not familiar with anything, he decisively bought the copyright of the three songs.

"Yin Jian, you mean that if you leave the record company you are working for, you will not be able to enter other record companies at all, because you will not be able to release new songs in a short period of time."

"Brother, your analysis is too accurate, that's what it means, that is to say, the songs I sang in a short period of time may be difficult to surpass songs such as "Two Butterflies", and other record companies will definitely consider the gains and losses and dare not sign a contract with me."

"Then you still want to sign with a record company?"

Liao Fanmin didn't mention the new songs immediately, he was a little disgusted with the record company's approach, and bought out three songs for only 30,000 yuan, which was too cheap, and used these three songs to kidnap Yin Jian, which was quite a bit of a bully.

"I really don't want to sign, but if I don't sign a contract with the record company, I won't be able to sing next, recently, I consulted a lawyer to understand that in the future, I will sing "Two Butterflies", "Nanshan Nan" and "I met you in the red dust" three songs, as long as the record company finds out that I make a profit, I can be held responsible, unless it is the original author of the song, otherwise I can't continue to sing...

Liao Fanmin frowned, as a student of the Law Department of the University of South China, of course he knew his power, the record company gave him 30,000 yuan, he could only buy out the copyright of three songs, the record company has already released the record of "Two Butterflies", used the copyright, the ownership of these three songs, still belongs to him Liao Fanmin.

As long as Liao Fanmin writes the authorization letter by himself, Yin Jian can still sing these three songs.

However, Liao Fanmin is unwilling to get into trouble, once he does this, he will not only turn his face with the record company, but also get into some inexplicable lawsuits, which is not strange, the entertainment industry is like this, the more hype the more famous, the record company will be able to fight a lawsuit with him Liao Fanmin, involving Yin Jian, will definitely be able to become famous.

"Yin Jian, what I mean, don't sign a contract with a record company for the time being, don't be led by their nose, that will be very bad for your future development, record companies are all trying to make money, I said before, once you don't sign a contract with them, I'm afraid they will be in a hurry."
