Chapter 67: Polygram Comes to the Door (Asking**)
Young singer Lin Ruocheng will release a new record!
The songwriter of "Forget the Love Water" Butterfly will tailor a new song for Lin Ruocheng!
Lin Ruocheng and the old club have no love rumors!
Are butterflies really human?
……
There will never be less news in the entertainment industry, during this period of time, "True Hero" and "Forget Love Water" are being sung in the streets and alleys, and although Lin Ruocheng parted ways with her old owner after the last record was released, she herself has always been the target of reporters, but she has been too low-key in the past two months, and ordinary people can't grasp her whereabouts at all, and the first press conference she appeared at the press executive meeting, she said that she would release a new record, and the news in the industry that Lin Ruocheng was going to renew her relationship with the new owner was immediately reported.
Really?
For the entertainment reporters who have news to dig up and no news to create, they immediately surged towards the butterfly studio like a wave, and for a while, all kinds of news flew all over the sky, and Bai Xue had to deal with those reporters almost every day.
Don't care too much about the news, the key is that someone pays attention to it.
Lin Ruocheng's old employer, Guangzhou Pacific Records, was indeed the first choice of Butterfly Studios, but in the middle of the negotiations, the style of painting suddenly changed, and Pacific Company not only coveted the copyright of the new song, but even got the copyright of songs such as "Forget Love Water" for nothing.
As soon as Wei Ting heard the news, she immediately decided to suspend the negotiations...... It's a big deal to distribute it yourself, or find a small distribution company to issue it, and you will definitely not be affected by this anger!
Butterfly Studio's decision was unexpected by the Pacific side, but in their minds, Butterfly Studios definitely had no way to release it on its own, they could lower the conditions, but they had to make the other party bow their heads first. But in any case, the news spread in the newspapers upset Pacific Records.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are sad, and for Polygram's agent Zhang Shaomo, this seems to be good news. Especially after listening to the sample tape sent by Lin Ruocheng, he immediately called Lin Ruocheng's agent Bai Xue to get in touch, and then rushed to Shanghai.
There are talents from all generations. Zhang Shaomo is a veteran agent, to say the least can be said to be Bai Xue's predecessor, although he also has a few singers in his hands now, but his background is insufficient, and he needs to launch talented newcomers, and Lin Ruocheng is a very good choice.
"I'm Lin Ruoming's agent Bai Xue, may I ask Mr. Zhang what's the matter?" Bai Xue looked at Zhang Shaomo, who was sitting opposite, holding the other party's business card in his hand, with a businesslike expression.
Bai Xue put the business card on the table and looked up at Zhang Shaomo, "Why does Polygram have the idea of signing Lin Ruocheng?" ”
As an entertainment agent, she is of course very clear about well-known companies in the industry, in fact, when she was at Pacific Records, there were people from Polygram who had contact with Lin Ruocheng, but at that time, it was the honeymoon period between Bai and Lin and the Pacific Ocean, and the matter was over. But I didn't expect that at this time, someone came over again.
Zhang Shaomo also heard the name of the young woman in front of him, looking at the other party's inquiring gaze, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but get bigger, "Recently, we heard Miss Lin Ruocheng sing the song "The Sea", which made us see her talent, so we had such an idea. ”
Aside from everything else, Teddy Bell is still very satisfied with Zhang Shaomo's attitude...... She still knows something about this senior, the other party does not put on the shelf of a large company, nor does she look down condescendingly, this impression alone adds a lot of points in her heart.
Zhang Shaomo remembered the shock in his heart when he heard "The Sea" for the first time. The entertainment industry says that it is not big or small, and there are few things that can be called secret, and the dispute between Pacific Records and Lin Ruocheng has long been discussed, and Zhang Shaomo naturally knows it. But what is commendable is that Lin Ruocheng not only did not sink here, but co-founded a studio to prepare for the release of a new record.
Of course, it's no secret that Butterfly Studios has three partners...... Bai Xue, Lin Ruocheng and Butterfly, and the latter has not appeared in public so far, which makes people feel mysterious, and many music companies and singers want to inquire about her, mostly hoping to get the songs she created. Zhang Shaomo came to Shanghai this time, although he took a fancy to Lin Ruocheng's talent, but he may not have come for the mysterious butterfly.
Maybe Zhang Shaomo's words are very sincere, but Bai Xue has also been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she knows very well that if you believe this kind of thing completely, it will be wrong. With Polygram's strength, there are countless famous singers under it, no matter how talented Lin Ruocheng is, it is impossible to be stronger than them, and the only person who is really interested is Zhang Shaomo personally, but this alone is enough to lay the foundation for negotiations.
"Mr. Zhang, it is impossible for Lin Ruocheng to become a signed singer of Polygram."
Bai Xue told Zhang Shaomo very clearly, "However, we can sign another kind of contract." ”
"Oh? What about? Zhang Shaomo knew that the other party could not agree easily, but hearing this turn of events still aroused his interest.
"Mr. Zhang, we at Butterfly Studio are going to make our own music and then hand over the distribution rights to other companies."
Bai Xue explained that this was a joint decision of the three giants of Butterfly Studios, and originally wanted to cooperate with Pacific Records, but since it was difficult for the other party to reach an agreement, it was obviously a better choice to cooperate with Polygram.
Zhang Shaomo nodded, in addition to being a singer signed by his own company, Polygram sometimes also does the release of other small record companies, the album market at this time is still relatively prosperous, musicians like Lin Ruocheng already have a certain popularity, if the level is really high, it is still worth cooperating.
"Well...... Mr. Bai, I preliminarily agree with this plan, but I have to go back and report to the company about the specific content. Zhang Shao pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.
Bai Xue knew that the specific details of the operation still had to be discussed in detail, but with this start, it was already quite good......
"That's it, every time we release an album from our studio, we create a song for them, the style is not limited, the copyright belongs to you, and then the sales share is 2%...... What do you think? ”
After the final contract terms were completed, Bai Xue informed Wei Ting of the situation in Huizhou.
"Sister Xue, there's no problem on my side. Eventually, though, we'll have to find a way to create our own distribution channels. Wei Ting said.
"That's it. The inaugural issue of "Bosom Friend" is ready to be released on September 18, what do you think? Bai Xue asked.
