Starting from Song Yan's album, the copyright strategy of Beauty Company has changed, establishing copyright barriers and stopping the sale of record copyrights to the outside world.

Record companies in the United States, except for the samplers, are all regular musicians, but at the same time, they are commercial companies.

When Qin Shiyue's new album "Listen" began to be released in California, the major label record companies in the United States finally couldn't sit still.

Because the sales of this record were so good, after the local market in Los Angeles warmed up, the first batch of 10 million records sold out quickly as soon as they were released to the California market.

Then the copyright cooperation calls of many major labels in the United States called Song Yan, but Song Yan turned them away.

plus Song Yan's album, this is the second record of Beauty to refuse copyright cooperation.

This kind of thing, the first time, is reasonable, once there are two times, it is not normal.

can achieve the scale of a big label, can release records all over the United States, and the owners of these record companies are all people in the same circle. Although there are mutual displeasures and commercial competition, it is normal to exchange information at the level of basic information.

California is the most populous state in the United States, and the music market is also the most active.

California has two consecutive big-selling records, and the right to operate them cannot be obtained, which is equivalent to the fat meat that is close at hand for more than a dozen major label record companies in the United States.

After confirming that all the big labels did not get the copyrights of the two records of Beauty Company, the bosses began to scold their mothers.

There are good reasons for them to scold their mothers. In layman's terms, everyone earns money together, and blocking people's money is equivalent to killing parents.

To put it mildly, it is the beauty company that breaks the rules of the industry.

Of course, they weren't that stupid. will not scold the mother in the United States, which is tantamount to advertising for the beauty company and fueling its arrogance. So they chose the Los Angeles Times. Within California, give the beauty company a precision strike and force it to comply.

And the Los Angeles Times happens to be Ye Luo's breakfast read.

So. On this day, when Ye Luo was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, he couldn't help laughing.

He handed the newspaper in his hand to Song Yan and said to the beautiful president: "Mr. Song, I asked you to keep some money to pay the compensation for the sampling ghost, and you don't have to keep it all."

The media still has to continue to guide it, you see, people are scolding our mothers to our doorstep. ”

"Where, where?" Merina quickly put down her knife and fork and snatched the newspaper with a curious expression.

Song Yan glanced at the contents of the newspaper. Her outstanding sight-reading ability made her see ten lines at a glance, and she quickly understood, shook her head and said: "Why is there no guidance, but the media, you also know that if you have milk, you are a mother, there is no discipline at all, and people pay more money than us." ”

Marina read the newspaper with interest. While reading, "The owner of the beauty company is Chinese. It seems that they have inherited the national policy of their motherland to close the country hundreds of years ago.

But they were obviously not as lucky as their homeland, because their homeland was finally knocked open by the guns of the coalition forces. And the beauty company can only rot in California, and no one will bird them anymore. ”

Reading this, Merina frowned. A slight anger appeared on his face: "This is too vicious!" ”

"There are also those who are not vicious." Ye Luo said with a faint smile, "They even hold grievances for our singers, saying that our company's strategy hinders the promotion of singers' popularity, which is a great irresponsibility for singers." ”

Song Yan also smiled: "It seems to be the first record to erect copyright barriers." It's my own album. They are still thinking about me, and it seems that I have to thank them well. ”

Ye Luo heard Song Yan's intention to fight back, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, don't spend this unjust money, this kind of mouth cannon is boring."

Speaking of which, they're doing us a favor, too. If public opinion wants to make a big move, it must be like this, there is a fuse, a fermentation time, and a flashpoint. Their little movement is not worth our response, just continue to dry them.

What we really need to follow up on in public opinion are two lawsuits, so let's wait. ”

Song Yan bowed slightly.

Merina said: "Speaking of lawsuits, in my case, the investigation and evidence collection are almost over, and Liyin suddenly proposed an out-of-court settlement. ”

"This is normal, losing you as an international superstar, this is disgraceful, if the court really wants to be held, public opinion will become more and more fierce, and they will lose more in all aspects." Ye Luo analyzed it, and then asked with interest, "How much do they want?" ”

"Reduced back to the original liquidated damages, 60 million US dollars." Merina said.

"Then give it to them." Ye Luo said to Song Yan, "Mr. Song, do we have enough money?" ”

"Coupled with Qin Shiyue's record sales profits, it's almost enough." Song Yan said, "However, if we don't fight this lawsuit, we will have one less breaking point in public opinion." ”

"Hehe, you, you're on the tip of the horns." Ye Luo said with a smile, "What news breaking point will be bigger than Merina's announcement of joining the beauty company?" Right, Sister Mai? ”

Merina smiled and said, "I don't care about that, I just care when you'll write a record for me." ”

"Haven't you been writing about this lately?" Ye Luo smiled and said to Song Yan again, "Don't be reluctant to spend money when the time comes, Sister Mai's joining ceremony, we will make it vigorous." ”

"Hmm!" Song Yan nodded.

……

After this breakfast, Ye Luo, as usual, came to the company and began to produce Zuò Mai Ruina's new album.

In fact, Ye Luo has been quite idle recently, and the intensity of work in the United States is far less than in China.

In China, Ye Luo has never encountered bottlenecks and obstacles, and he just needs to run at full speed and run wildly with the green light all the way.

And here, because of the limitations of the American stepped music market, Ye Luo is somewhat constrained. However, the market is not the main factor restricting the progress of Yeluo Records, the most critical thing is the singer.

A month after the establishment of the beauty company, Ye Luo has not given up looking for new singers, and the talent scout of the beauty company is soaking in night bars all over California every night, just trying to find some suitable singers to sign in.

But after a month, there was basically no gain, and those bar singers who passed the talent scouting primary, when they went to the beauty company for an interview, they couldn't get into Ye Luo's eyes.

In this case, Ye Luo is also mentally prepared, because Merina said that the record industry in California is very developed, and as a record company that can gain a foothold in California, it must keep the three major channels unimpeded.

As a new record company, Beauty Company has sales channels and publicity channels, but these two channels can be smashed with money.

Only the last very important channel, which can't be smashed with money, is the singer selection channel. This depends more on connections.

Once a good new singer appears in California City, he has long been directly recommended by the eyeliner of the record company of the bar owner, and if he really performs in the bar, it is still one level worse, and it is very difficult to find a film-level singer in this group of singers.

Therefore, the joining of Merina is of vital strategic significance for the beauty company.

Not only is Marina famous, can write songs, can sing, has a strong private team, but most importantly, her status in the California music scene.

Not only is she a native Californian musician herself and has reached the level of an international superstar, but she is also one of the world's top 10 musical talents. Jackson's only disciple.

Her connections here are unimaginable.

Based on this, she is worth 60 million dollars to the beauty company.

Of course, for now, Merina's joining has the most tangible significance, that is, Ye Luo finally has a song to write.

At present, there are only singers such as Angel Boy, Xiao Qiong, Song Yan, and Qin Shiyue under the beauty company, and Ye Luo has already thrown out one record by one.

How many records a singer releases every year is a commercial rule, and the more the merrier. At least the second record can be released only when the sales potential of the first record is almost exhausted, and the artist takes full advantage of the added value of the album and pushes the popularity to a similar level.

It's only been less than three months since Angel Boy's album was released, and the U.S. market is selling well, and David and the others are not in Los Angeles, but are running commercial performances everywhere.

In fact, there are no singers available in Ye Luo's hands, and Merina wants to join, just right.

As an international superstar, Merina's first record when she joined the beauty company is naturally meaningful, Ye Luo chose a song for the morning this morning, and finally drew up a song list in his mind.

"Song Yan." In order to take care of President Song's love problem beside him, Ye Luo turned his head and said to Song Yan, "Sister Mai's identity is different after all, so I will use better songs for her first record." ”

"Got it." Song Yan smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be jealous." ”

"Huh." Ye Luo smiled and didn't pick up.

"However, my second record is better than her first." Song Yan said faintly.

Ye Luo rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and pretended to be serious: "Mr. Song, you are also a person who understands music." Music is not to be compared. ”

"Don't give me this set." Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo, "I know you have a rod scale in your heart, in short, you said you want to give me a Grammy, and you have to do what you say." ”

Ye Luo blinked, and said in his heart: It's over, I actually forgot about this stubble.

Xiao Qiong, Song Yan, Qin Shiyue, these three have zero initial popularity in the United States, Song Yan at least does not suffer from her appearance, coupled with Ye Luo's care, the Grammys are indeed nine out of ten.

But as soon as Merina came, this is a big hand who has already won a Grammy, and she was also nominated last year, she came to the beauty company, Ye Luo tailored a record for her, and the Grammys can still run away?

So what about Song Yan?

Ye Luo scratched his head, and he was so worried that he was about to die. (To be continued......)
