Chapter Twenty-Seven: You Should Try
Replying to Zhang Wenhua's message, Yuan Zelang clicked on the conversation with Jiang Shan and wrote: "I want to ask, why is your company willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy my new work?" After all, I'm just a nobody, so I don't think it's worth it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yuan Zelang sent his inner doubts directly to Jiang Shan, he wanted to see how Jiang Shan would answer his question.
As soon as Jiang Shan saw the message sent to him by Yuan Zelang, he knew that his intentions had probably been guessed by Yuan Zelang, so he replied straight to the point: "To be honest, we want to buy your song because we want to cover it for a newcomer group of our 'Xunyu Media', and we think this song is very suitable for the company's setting of their image." ”
"Sure enough." Yuan Zelang had a smile on his face, and then replied: "Oh, is it to accumulate new song resources for newcomers?" Then I can write it for you, since I can write a song "Rainy Season in Teenagers", then I still have the confidence to continue to write the second and third songs "Rainy Season at Seventeen". No, I should say that I still have confidence that I can write a work that goes beyond "The Rainy Season at Seventeen". ”
On this side of the computer, Jiang Shan was stunned when he saw the message sent by Yuan Zelang, he really didn't think of this problem, and after reading Yuan Zelang's reply, he sent a message curiously and asked: "In this case, can you take the liberty of asking you to pass on the DEMO you want to upload later?" ”
Jiang Shan was worried that his request would make Yuan Zelang suspect that he wanted to steal Yuan Zelang's ideas, so he hurriedly sent another message to explain: "Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, and if you can really continue to write a work of such a high level as "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season", I have more confidence that I can get you a better contract." ”
From the chat just now, he could feel that Yuan Zelang seemed to be a very confident and arrogant person. Such musicians generally have a bit of a temper, although he doesn't know if what Yuan Zelang said is true, but he is still willing to choose to believe it, because if it is true, he will make a lot of money, and it is not a problem to be promoted and raised. Taking a step back, even if Yuan Zelang can't write the second and third songs, he has nothing to lose.
"Well, yes, but it might take some time to listen to the demo, so far I've only recorded a song called "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season", and I haven't had time to record other works. However, I can send you a few songs that I have already written and composed for you, and these songs will be a good choice for the newcomers. Yuan Zelang didn't misunderstand anything, he felt that it was natural for the other party to make such a request, after all, if it was just a song, the weight would still be a little insufficient after all.
If he takes some good enough works, maybe they will have fewer concerns, and he is not afraid that QQ Music will steal the works he sent in the past, and he doesn't believe that the other party will be stupid enough to fall out with him for a few songs.
Perhaps the public's eyes will always only notice the shining singers standing in front of the stage, and will notice that they sing the song they like the most, but few people will notice who wrote the song they like.
Because in the minds of many people, 'If you eat an egg and think it tastes good, then why do you need to know the hen that laid the egg?' Such a notion.
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.
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 on another earth, even the top creators in China, their annual income is at most the income of a third-rate singer, which is a fact that is not earned in the circle.
When Liu Qin wrote "You're coming back", she only got 10,000 yuan as a remuneration, and when this song was sung by Sun Nan and generated millions of earnings, no one would give Liu Qin a penny, this is the sadness and dilemma of the creator, and this is also the reality of the entertainment industry.
Many new music creators enter the industry with enthusiasm, and after a long time, they find that their hard-working works are bought out by entertainment companies for thousands of dollars, and then enjoy huge profits on the Internet; When a singer takes the author's song to a performance, and earns millions a year but can't even get a penny, the creator is discouraged.
Therefore, many talented creators have quit the industry as a last resort. It can be said that pop music creators in Chinese mainland will not live more than 5 by writing lyrics only to earn their lives, which makes people feel sad when they 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 become popular overnight and then end up in a luxury house the next day, but when have you seen a mainland songwriter buy a luxury car only through the income from songwriting? Many promising creators basically come in with enthusiasm, and they are discouraged, and few can persevere, and these few and a few fall into the sadness mentioned earlier.
What makes Yuan Zelang feel a little sad is that the mainland entertainment industry in this world seems to be in a similar predicament as in his previous life.
And this is also the reason why the world is so developed in science and technology, but the entertainment industry is somewhat stagnant.
But he thought that since he was here, he should try it and see if he could change the situation.
And all this may start with the cooperation with QQ Music, he believes that the few works he will send to Jiangshan will be enough for him to have the capital to negotiate with QQ Music or "Xun Entertainment Media".
Of course, if they are blind, then don't talk about anything...... Let them go with regret!
