Chapter 124 Conditions for Making an Album
At night, Zhang Jingning was at home.
Tomorrow is the time for the second recording, Chen Ze sang the two songs prepared separately to Zhang Jingning, hoping that she would give some reference.
"I don't have any opinion, these two songs of yours are so good, especially this song that deals with the theme of the concert, how did you write this song?"
Zhang Jingning opened her mouth and said, if the first adapted song gave her an amazing impression, then the second original song with the theme of the concert simply impressed her.
And unlike the songs of love and love that Chen Ze wrote before, this is a song about women. Although Chen Ze is only a boy less than twenty years old, this song about women is quite profound and beautiful.
It's just, it's so much that she likes it. Zhang Jingning believes that as soon as this song is launched, it will definitely cause a huge response. Especially Chen Ze's female fans, I'm afraid it's going to skyrocket.
"This guy is obviously less than twenty, how can he write such a song."
Zhang Jingning was a little jealous, she knew that although she was a woman, she would never be able to write this kind of song.
"Hehe, of course, this comes from my usual meticulous observation and in-depth thinking about life." Chen Ze said proudly.
Listening to Chen Ze's words, Zhang Jingning rolled her eyes, she didn't believe Chen Ze's words at all. also carefully observed and thought deeply, I didn't see how Chen Ze thought about life. Besides, what can a boy less than twenty think about life?
Zhang Jingning thought about it, and she felt that this qiē could only be attributed to Chen Ze's talent, a talent that was completely unimaginable to others.
"By the way, I heard that Huaxia Agency has contacted you again, as if they want to invite you to tailor a Cantonese album for Zhao Tao." Zhang Jingning spoke.
"yes, you contacted me yesterday." Chen Ze nodded.
"You promised?" Zhang Jingning.
"Not yet, I put forward a condition, if their company can promise me, then I can consider helping Zhao Tao write an album." Chen Ze spoke.
"On what terms?"
"I want to be the producer of the whole album, not just write songs and sell them to them. And I want 30 percent of the proceeds from this album. Chen Ze said.
"Thirty percent?"
Hearing Chen Ze's words, Zhang Jingning was taken aback. Thirty percent, according to the calculation of an album selling 1 million copies, the price of an album is about 50, of which there is about 20 to 30 net profits, that is, the income of an album is 20 million to 30 million, and if you take 30 percent, that is, you will take 6 million to 9 million.
This, there is no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry who can take so much.
And this is only with the lowest algorithm, Chen Ze helped to make Zuò's album, how can it be impossible to sell only one million copies, which means that the income he takes will be higher, even as high as an astronomical amount.
"I'm afraid Huaxia Brokerage Company won't agree to you on this condition." Zhang Jingning hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"I also don't think they will agree, and now that I'm participating in the competition of "Chinese Singer", I don't have time to help Zhao Tao make an album." Chen Zedao.
"Then you deliberately put such high demands on purpose, and then wait for them to give up on their own?" Zhang Jing condensed.
"Not really." Chen Ze said with a smile, "This condition will be the most basic condition for me to make zuò albums in the future." ”
Now Chen Ze's song can be sold for 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and an album is about ten songs. In other words, if you help write ten songs, you can only earn two or three million, and no matter how many albums you sell, you can only earn this.
This is already a very good price for myself a year ago. But for himself who has now made a name for himself, it is a big loss.
Especially the songs he helped write must be those time-tested classic songs, Chen Ze is very confident that every album will sell an excellent sales.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Chen Ze set this condition. No matter who invites the song in the future, it cannot be lower than this condition.
Although Chen Ze also knew that it was estimated that Huaxia Brokerage Company would not agree to his conditions so lightly, Chen Ze believed that if they still wanted to continue to produce Cantonese songs, especially if they wanted to reach the level of "Sea and Sky", then they would definitely agree to their conditions.
・・・・・・
Huaxia brokerage company, inside the CEO's office!
"How's it going? What did Zhao Tao say? Wang Xia asked the secretary in front of him.
"That, that Zhao Tao said that if it wasn't for the song written by Chen Ze, he would definitely not be able to sing it." The secretary hesitated.
Syllable!
Hearing this, Wang Xia slapped his palm on the desk fiercely: "What does Zhao Tao mean, don't you want to be a singer anymore, you have been singing against the company." ”
Wang Xia was very angry and communicated with Chen Ze yesterday, hoping that he could help make a new Cantonese song album for Zhao Tao. As a result, he actually put forward such a condition, and if he agreed to this condition, it would not immediately become a laughing stock in the industry.
Wang Xia thought in his heart that after seeing that the song "Sea and Sky" written by Chen Ze was immediately popular all over the country, he immediately realized that this kind of Cantonese song was simply an untapped treasure.
That's why he hopes that Chen Ze can help Zhao Tao make a Cantonese song album again, who knows that he actually opened his mouth to that point.
Thirty percent of the income, if this is really given to Chen Ze, it will become a part-time job for Chen Ze. Thirty percent is also due to Chen Zekai's exports.
When Wang Xia heard this condition, he refused Chen Ze's request without thinking about it. However, although Chen Ze can't get through here, Cantonese songs are still a kind of song after all.
There was no such concept before, so Chen Ze was so shocked when he wrote it. But now that I know that this path is going through, can't I find other songwriters to help make zuò?
Therefore, Wang Xia immediately made a decision to invite other producers to create a Cantonese song album tailored for Zhao Tao. Who knew that after Zhao Tao heard about this, he immediately refused.
also put down his words, saying that he had made an appointment with Chen Ze, and the first Cantonese song album only sang about his zuò. If he didn't make zuò, then he would rather not sing.
Isn't this openly against yourself and the company? When did Zhao Tao actually stand on the same side with Chen Ze, an outsider?
Therefore, Wang Xia is very annoyed now, and his face is gloomy: "This Zhao Tao, has he forgotten who made him popular after being popular for two years?" Now that you dare to oppose the company's decision so much, aren't you afraid that I will directly ban him? ”
"Mr. Wang, I can understand your feelings, but Brother Zhao is also a veteran of the company, and he is also a first-line singer, which can bring a lot of benefits to the company. If we block him for this matter, I'm afraid our company will also have a lot of losses. The secretary hurriedly said.
Wang Xia didn't say a word, he also knew that it was not easy to cultivate a first-line singer like Zhao Tao, and if he was blocked, he would lose a lot on his side, but his behavior of directly opposing the company was absolutely not allowed, otherwise how would he manage the company in the future, and how would the people below see him.
"In this way, suspend Zhao Tao's activities, and all his business activities will be cancelled, and he will be hidden for a while. In addition, he told him that as long as he agreed to sing Cantonese songs written by other people, then Xuezang would end immediately. Otherwise, he will wait for the rest of his life to be hidden. Wang Xia said.
"Okay, Mr. Wang." The secretary nodded, "Then what about the Cantonese song that has been agreed with other people?" Stop waiting for Brother Zhao to change his mind for a while? ”
"No, didn't the company sign another new person recently? His voice is quite similar to Zhao Tao, let him sing this Cantonese song album to make his debut. Wang Xia said.
Tong Guò's song "Sea and Sky", he knows that Cantonese songs can also have such a big market. With such a big market, he didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to play without Chen Ze and Zhao Tao.
In addition, let other newcomers sing this album that should have belonged to Zhao Tao, Wang Xia also has other ideas. He wants to sue Zhao Tao, the company doesn't just rely on you.
