In contrast, the outcome of the negotiations was a bit difficult from the start......

As the world's largest classical record brand today, DG has witnessed all the important figures in the music scene for more than 100 years, and it can be said that it represents part of the history of the world music scene. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From 1898, when German Emil Berliner, the inventor of disc records, and his brother Joseph Berliner founded the company in their hometown of Hamburg, to the era of digital media music, the physical record industry has gradually withered under the impact of Internet technology. DG recorded the world's first complete orchestral recording (1913), officially released the first dense recordings (1951), followed by stereo (1958) and 4D recording (1991), and even released the first CD series, and new digital audio formats such as SACD.

Even the company's own experience is legendary, often accompanied by the changes and turbulence of the times.

For example, the outbreak of World War I, the war between Britain and Germany, the German government confiscated the British-owned DGG, so that the DG broke away from the control of the parent company in London and began to operate independently. By World War II, many musicians had been banned from recording due to Nazi persecution, and others had fled for fear of harm to themselves and their families, leaving DG in a precarious situation that was not stabilized until Deutsche Bank and Telefunken intervened. In the sixties and seventies, with the rise of restructuring and mergers and acquisitions of large record companies, the world's most famous record company was born, Polygram Records, which dominated the development of the global record industry for a long time. And in the late 70s, after entering the digital age, the competition of major media record companies gradually intensified, and behind the frequent trading of company shares, the identity of the owner was constantly changing, until 1998, Polygram Records, which belonged to it, was acquired by the American Universal Group and became a brand.

If it were put on other companies, such twists and turns were enough to make most companies fall countless times in the middle, but DG survived tenaciously and maintained a hundred years of honor.

In the eyes of many people, this is the reason why it can't help but be desirable and respected.

With its rich historical and cultural heritage and a large number of precious recording materials stored in it, it has become one of the best hotbeds and holy places for countless musicians to cultivate masters.

Even after the 90s, when the global record industry was in recession and the number of new records fell sharply, DG was still able to survive and survive, and the key was that it continued to attract some of the best musical talent from around the world.

Even Lu Yao, who came with Shu Chang, couldn't resist the charm and attraction of such a company, and with a pilgrimage-like mood, she looked at the building in front of her with admiration and expectation.

Because only here can you get close to the musicians who have left their names and countless great masterpieces in history, and get in touch with their valuable first-hand images!

Of course, DG thinks so too......

"Shu, you're not kidding, who does he think he is? I have never seen such outrageous conditions in any newcomer, not even those musicians who have already made a name for themselves. Although we can't force them to do what they don't like, there are still minimum commercial terms that need to be fulfilled every year, and it is impossible for companies to agree to such unreasonable things! ”

In a somewhat simple small conference room, after learning about Liang Yu's request, the representative sent by the DG company looked at Lu Yao with a mocking expression as if he had heard some fantasy.

"You're the agent appointed by that arrogant guy, I can't imagine that this is something that a person who hasn't even touched the threshold of the music industry can ask for, probably he thinks he is a young genius, he can put forward any conditions, but I can tell you very responsibly, in our eyes, such a consciously talented young genius, we have to reject hundreds, thousands of people every year, and none of them are like you, and I still have a few earnest letters in the mailbox of my computer. They are very clear-headed, they know their weight, and what they pay is not worth mentioning compared to what they can get from the contracted company. So, I think, instead of you staying here and continuing to waste our time, it's better to go back and communicate with that guy, for Shu's sake, the company can give you a second chance, but there will never be a third time! ”

Looking at the back of the German in front of him who didn't look back after speaking, Lu Yao's original expectation was directly frozen on her face, although she had a certain psychological preparation, the other party would definitely not agree so quickly, but being rejected so ruthlessly still made her a little embarrassed.

In the words, not only did they not consider the idea of continuing to talk at all, but the reception location they were given was still such a bad conference room, which undoubtedly represented part of their attitude, and they didn't attach importance to this matter at all, and they might even reluctantly find someone to deal with it just because of their comfortable position.

Lu Yao's mouth was slightly bitter, the first contact negotiation ended in this way, which was really not a taste for her.

It's small to lose face, and the most important thing is that you can't finish Liang Yu's explanation, even if you are willing to take advantage of that guy, you will definitely not be able to be an agent.

It's just that Lu Yao didn't notice the hidden smile in Shu Chang's eyes after seeing his sullen expression.

"Why don't you go back and discuss it with Xiao Yu, after all, it is the first case in the industry, even if the company wants to sign Xiao Yu, you have to consider the thoughts of other people who have signed contracts with the company. The so-called inequality is not a small number of people, especially when this kind of physical record industry is in full decline, investing such a large amount of money to cultivate, but not only bringing any actual considerable returns, not only the management and shareholders will not agree, but also those musicians within the company will definitely oppose it, and the Asia-wide business itself is not the focus of the company. ”

Regarding Liang Yu's appointment of Lu Yao to come over to talk for him, Shu Chang was of course quite unhappy.

Obviously, he should have become his agent, but he was replaced by a little girl like Lu Yao. You must know that even if they are sisters, in the face of huge interests, they will quarrel, not to mention that the two are just a layer of alumni relationship.

And with Boneli's evaluation, in Shu Chang's mind, her identity as the main business leader of DG in Asia is not as great as the status and benefits of being Liang Yu's agent in the future.

So this time, she will never help anymore, she can only rely on Lu Yao alone, it is best to beg for her to intervene when she is powerless, so that she will have the opportunity to become the leader of the negotiations, and at the worst she can make Liang Yu start to trust her.
