43. The sorrow of the creator

Lin Mu thought for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "Yes, yes, but if you want to listen to the DEMO, it may take some time, I have written a lot of songs, but so far I have only recorded a song "Wukong", and this is not even recorded." As for the other works...... I haven't had time to record yet. But don't worry, I'll find a recording studio at night and record the demo. ”

Lin Mu also understands that if he wants to cooperate, he must come up with something real, and he is not afraid that Penguin Music will steal the works he sent in the past, he doesn't believe that such a big company will be stupid enough to fall out with him for a few songs.

Panyu Penguin Music Editorial Department.

"Boss, look. ”

Jiang Huimin handed her mobile phone to a middle-aged man in his 40s behind him, who was slightly chubby.

The man took Jiang Huimin's mobile phone, looked at the message sent by Lin Mu, and said immediately: "Be sure to establish long-term cooperation with him." ”

This person's name is Huang Donglai, the biggest boss of Penguin Music, and it is no surprise that he will become the CEO of Xunyu Media.

As a person who has been in this circle for decades and climbed to this position step by step, he knows very well how important an excellent original creator is to this circle.

In fact, when he first heard the song "Wukong" yesterday, Huang Donglai had already had the idea of signing Lin Mu to Xunyu Media, so he came over to understand the situation in person just now.

At the beginning, he was very sorry when he heard Lin Mu's refusal, but now that he saw Lin Mu's words, he seemed to see another hope for cooperation.

Originally, Huang Donglai wanted to return the phone to Jiang Huimin after reading Lin Mu's reply, but he handed it out and took it back halfway.

"I'll go back. ”

As he spoke, he typed to Lin Mudao: Okay, I'm looking forward to your sample, happy cooperation. It's not easy to create, and I hope you can continue to persevere.

Lin Mu looked at these two sentences and was a little puzzled.

This is definitely not the tone of the woman just now, could it be that the other party is more than one person in contact with him?

But no matter what, he saw the sincerity of the other party from these two sentences, doesn't "happy cooperation" mean that no matter what kind of sample Lin Mu sent in the past, the other party is willing to cooperate with him?

As for the fact that it is not easy to create, I hope you can continue to persevere, this sentence made Lin Mu feel deeply.

Perhaps, the public's eyes will always only pay attention to the dazzling singers standing in front of the stage, and will notice that they sing the song they like the most, but few people will pay attention to who wrote the song they like.

Because in the minds of many people, there is the idea that if you eat an egg and think it tastes good, then why do you need to know the hen that laid the egg?'

And in reality, this idea is very strong.

So it's the same with listening to songs, you can enjoy it when you hear a good song, as long as you know who sang it, you don't have to know who wrote it to become the idea of most people, or even no idea.

But music companies are different, they know that there is no shortage of good voices in this world, what is lacking is good creators.

If a good singer can have a long-term and stable source of works, and these works are suitable for him, this is more important than anything else!

The classic pairing of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan in another world is a good example.

The combination of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan can be said to be the best partner of Chinese pop music in another world, it can be said that they have joined forces to create a new century of music creators, and have repeatedly won good results in Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, and Singapore and Malaysia International, and have been recognized by listeners, fans, and the music industry, which has also made the talents of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, a group of songwriters, favored, won the voice of singers and queens in the record industry who constantly wrote songs, and also wrote many "singing" sales records for pop music.

However, it is a little regrettable that there are too few partners like Fang Wenshan and Jay Chou after all, and not everyone can be as lucky as Fang Wenshan will meet Jay Chou. The lives of most creators are basically not very good, and it is an indisputable fact in the circle that even the top creators in China earn a year at most as the income of a third-rate singer.

To give an example from her previous life, when the creator Liu Qin wrote "You're coming back", she only received 10,000 yuan as a remuneration.

And when this song was sung by Sun Nan and generated millions of dollars, no one would give Liu Qin a penny.

This is the sadness and dilemma of creators, and it is also the sad reality in the entertainment industry.

It is precisely because the reality is so sad that many new music creators find that their hard-working works are bought out by entertainment companies for thousands of dollars, and then enjoy huge profits on the Internet;

As a result, many talented creators have quit the creative profession as a last resort.

According to the information collected by Lin Mu when he wrote entertainment novels before, the number of pop music creators in the entire mainland who only rely on lyrics to earn no more than one hand now.

It's sad to think about it.

And if this continues, maybe these five people will disappear that day.

When a new singer becomes popular, the appearance fee can quickly rise from thousands to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, and it can be increased several times in just a few months, and the "I am a singer" in another world has created more than one such singer. On the other hand, when a creator goes from a newcomer to writing a lot of popular songs, he needs more training and maturity than a singer, but the final creation fee will rise by a few thousand yuan at most.

A good songwriter generates far more social value than a singer because they can write songs for more than one singer.

Other industries spend huge sums of money to bring in talents, but in today's most profitable entertainment and cultural industry, the income of creators is the lowest and lowest.

You may have seen a singer who became popular overnight and then went to a luxury house the next day, but when did you see a mainland creator who bought a luxury car only through the income from songwriting? Many promising creators basically came in with enthusiasm, and they went out with a disgraced face, and very few of them were able to persevere, and these few fell into the sorrow mentioned earlier.

From the reply that was not sure who it was just now, Lin Mu seemed to have sensed that the music circle in this world seemed to be in a similar predicament as in his previous life.

But he thought that since he was here, he should try it and see if he could change the situation.

"Hey, hey, where are you going? What do you want?

Lin Mu walked forward while thinking, so much so that he didn't react when he overtook Song Yicheng's table.

"How about going to the studio after dinner?"

Lin Mu stepped back, sat down on the sofa and asked.

"Go to the recording studio, do you want to record a song?" Song Yicheng spoke, and everyone cast puzzled looks.

Lin Mu thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Why don't you record a song for you?"
