Chapter 645: Why Me?

"Brother Xueyou, from the bottom of my heart, I am definitely willing to cooperate with you once." Ye Zi glanced at each other and said, "You are my predecessor and my idol, I have no way to refuse your request." ”

Hearing Ye Zi's words, a smile appeared on Brother Xueyou's face, and Mrs. Chen sat there and listened without expressing any opinions.

They all know that after Ye Zi's statement, there must be a "but".

"But...... Brother Xueyou, Sister Chen, I still have a few questions to ask clearly. Ye Zi really said the word "but".

"You say." It's still Brother Xue who comes forward.

"Okay, Brother Xueyou, then I'll talk about it." Ye Zi's side is also Ye Zi's appearance, and the two agents, Mrs. Chen and Tantai Wenhui, are watching from the sidelines, and now they are not directly involved. Ou Dingyu always held the small teacup with two fingers, focusing with relish on this rare Pu'er.

Ye Zi paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Xueyou, I want to know first, how do you want us to cooperate this time?" ”

This is a question that must be asked.

Although Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui had a guess just now, this time Brother Xue You should not simply buy songs, but have other ideas, but this still has to hear Brother Xue You, Mrs. Chen, and Ou Dingyu say it in person before it counts.

This is also the basis for all subsequent cooperation. If it's really just buying songs, hehe, then you don't have to think too much about anything. However, Ye Zi knew in his heart that such a possibility was almost non-existent, and it would not take such a lot of trouble to buy one or two songs.

Brother Xue replied without hesitation: "Of course, I invite you to fully participate in the production of my album, if time permits, I hope you can help me make this album." ”

"Production? Do you mean to oversee the album for you? ”

"Yes, if your time permits."

Ye Zi was noncommittal, took a sip of tea and thought for a while before asking again: "Brother Xueyou, I am very grateful for your importance to me, and I am also willing to participate in the production of your album, but I want to know why you chose me?" ”

"You should know that I'm just a young singer who has just emerged, and my grades are not outstanding, and my popularity is almost none, so if you give me the responsibility of album producer, don't you worry about me ruining your album? And I know that Brother Xiaobao's cooperation with you has always been a perfect match, if you ask me to produce the album for you, what about Brother Xiaobao? ”

"Brother Xueyou, I am very confident, and I am not presumptuous, but I never think that I can surpass the level of Brother Xiaobao now."

Hearing Ye Zi mention himself, Ou Dingyu gently put down the teacup in his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Xiao Yezi, let me answer this question to you." ”

Facing Ou Dingyu, Ye Zi was of course more polite: "Brother Xiaobao, please speak." ”

"Actually, this idea is my advice to Qizai." Ou Dingyu said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Xiao Yezi, because this time Qizai wants to make a Chinese album facing the Taiwan Strait market, which is not what I am good at, so I recommended you to Qizai." ”

"It just so happened that Qizai also had such an idea, the two of us discussed it, and told Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen also felt that she could try, and then ...... This is where we meet today. Ou Dingyu always spoke gently and calmly.

Ye Zi nodded, and said in his heart, "No wonder."

Brother Xueyou wants to release a Chinese album in the Taiwan Strait market, Ou Ding Yuli can't catch it, and then he thinks of himself, which is a logical statement.

But......

"Thank you, Brother Xiaobao, for trusting me, but ......" Ye Zi continued to ask: "I know that PG Taihai Company has many outstanding Chinese album producers, such as Huang Qingyuan, Xue Zhongming, Yin Wenqi, He Qihong, etc., are extremely good candidates, and their grasp of the Taiwan Strait record market will definitely be much better than mine." ”

"So I'm still saying that, why did you choose me?"

Brother Xue You and Ou Dingyu glanced at each other, and then looked at Mrs. Chen, the three of them saw the smile in each other's eyes, and Ye Zi's question was in their imagination.

It was Ou Dingyu who answered.

"Xiao Yezi, you are very familiar with these colleagues in the Taiwan Strait. But before answering your question, let me ask you, Qizai has released several Chinese albums, do you know? Ou Dingyu asked.

As a fan of Brother Xueyou, such a question certainly can't help Ye Zi: "Brother Xiaobao, I know that Brother Xueyou has released four Chinese albums and one Chinese selected album. ”

"That's right!" Ou Dingyu nodded: "The company's earliest positioning of Qizai is not only based on the Xiangjiang market, the Taiwan Strait market, the new home leather market, the Southeast Asian market, the Chinese mainland market, and even the island country market need Qizai to try his best, plus Qizai's Chinese is quite good, there is no local accent, so from the beginning Qizai has always been a double line parallel, Cantonese albums and Chinese albums are almost synchronous development." ”

"In August 85, Qizai released his first Cantonese album "Smile" in Xiangjiang, and on May 9, 86, Qizai's first Chinese album "Love Without Four Returns" was released in Taihai, and then it was basically a Cantonese album with a Chinese album."

"This situation is an alternative in the Xiangjiang music scene, but for the development of Qizai, this is the best choice. insists on the simultaneous and parallel development of the two routes, and his path in the music industry will become wider and wider. In terms of decision-making, this is extremely correct positioning. ”

"But...... Xiao Yezi, you should know that compared to Qi Zai's achievements and honors in Cantonese songs, his achievements in Chinese songs are a bit ......"

Speaking of this, Ou Dingyu smiled lightly, shook his head, and did not continue.

"It's miserable."

Mrs. Chen suddenly answered.

Brother Xue Youge glanced at Mrs. Chen with very helpless and "complaining" eyes, and then "slammed" himself into the sofa, but he didn't try to explain anything, obviously agreeing with Mrs. Chen's statement.

Ou Dingyu still smiled and continued: "You just said that you have a grasp of the Taiwan Strait record market, that's right, neither you nor I dare to say that there is any real grasp at this point, and those Taiwan Strait counterparts of PG are really good at this aspect, and they have a special merit, which I still admire them very much." However, it is very regrettable that no matter how refined the market grasp can not make results, it is completely empty. Xiao Yezi think about it, since 86 years, four albums and a selection, the Chinese songs sung by Qizai have not been recognized enough, and the sales performance is completely incomparable with Cantonese albums, do we need to consider too much about these so-called market grasps? For every previous Chinese album, those producers in the Taiwan Strait were completely based on market analysis. ”

"But what about the grades?"

Ou Dingyu suddenly asked with an accent, Mrs. Chen and Brother Xue Youyou were silent, it was obvious that they were already dissatisfied with all this. Maybe it's because everyone is a colleague in the PG family, and some heavy words are not very easy to say.

After a pause, Ou Dingyu shook his head and looked at Ye Zi.

"So this time for the Chinese album, we hope to leave behind the old holes and simply find a new way to go." The Taiwanese producers you mentioned that we have worked with in the past, they have been slow to let Qizai make a breakthrough in Chinese albums, and the results can only be said to be mediocre, and this time of course, it will not necessarily be successful. ”

"Xiao Yezi, choosing you also has a certain gambling nature for us, we are not sure that you will definitely be able to bring a breakthrough to Qizai, but compared with those producers in Taihai, at least you are young enough, and you are very aggressive and innovative."

"If there's a simpler reason, it's that you wrote The Legend of the Hungry Wolf that moved us. It was a breakthrough Cantonese song, the combination of rock and pop factors is very good, I liked this song you sang very much when I was in the competition, I didn't expect you to give it to Qi Tsai. This is a good song that is enough to get the top 10 hits, and I will use this song as the title song at the right time to help Qizai make an album. I think that the creator who can write such a song "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is very likely to surprise us and Qizai. ”

"Okay, Xiaoyezi, that's why we chose you, do you have any other questions to ask?"

Ou Dingyu asked softly. (To be continued.) )
