【003】Warm-up begins
Hearing Xiang Tian's decision, Gu Xiaoyao also smiled slightly, this is also what he has thought of, after all, all his songs are classics, if the person in charge of Polygram is not stupid, he will definitely be favored by them, it is really not good, the whole Xiangjiang is not only Polygram's family, Baidai, Warner are all good choices!
Walking out of the recording studio, the three of them came to Xiang Tian's office, and after sitting down, Xiang Tian groaned, and said: "Mr. Gu, your songs are very beautiful, your singing skills are also very good, and you are an original artist, which is a rare talent for every company!" ”
Hearing Xiang Tian say this, Gu Xiaoyao also smiled noncommittally, now is not the time to be modest, sure enough, Xiang Tian continued: "In view of this, we will agree to sign a sharing contract with you, to be honest, there is no precedent for this in our company!" ”
"I know this, thank you Mr. Xiang!" Gu Xiaoyao nodded, the reason why he thought of this sharing contract was because he was very confident that his album would sell well, as long as Polygram was willing to bet on him, the publicity was in place, and the album reached an unprecedented hit, there was absolutely no problem!
"Hehe, Mr. Gu seems to be young, but he seems to be very familiar with the entertainment industry, has his family been in the circle before?" Xiang Tian laughed!
"My parents are not in the entertainment industry, and they passed away last year, so I often read some registrations and books!" Gu Xiaoyao would not say that he had been in the entertainment industry for decades in his previous life, so he had to be caught and sliced!
"Oh, Mr. Gu is really knowledgeable, very good, this is our contract, you take a look!" Speaking of which, there is already a secretary who has taken the contract!
Gu Xiaoyao took the contract and looked at it carefully, don't think that the entertainment industry is easy to mix, there are a lot of overlord clauses in the contract and some places that you don't pay attention to, it is very likely to pit you for several years! Fortunately, although this contract is somewhat overbearing, it is also moral enough, but it is a bit long, and it is actually signed every five years.
As far as he knows, Polygram in the previous life also adopted the method of signing a contract every three years, even if it was Zhang Xueyou, the singer of the later generation, it was three years, how could it be five years when he came to himself? Immediately, Gu Xiaoyao reacted to this problem, and asked to modify the contract, Xiang Tian and Li Yan glanced at it, smiled slightly bitterly, and said: "To be honest, Mr. Gu, we are very sincere to cooperate with you, and we will provide you with the best publicity, and our cost is also very large!" ”
"Mr. Xiang, I also understand your worries, your contract says that at least two albums a year, and the quality of the albums must be guaranteed, which is okay, and even I can have three or four albums a year, but time, I only want to sign a contract for three years!" Gu Xiaoyao plans to develop himself in the future, and he will not waste his good youth in Polygram!
Hearing this, Xiang Tian was silent, he also understood that if it was a dragon, it would not be in the small pool, and it seemed that it was impossible to leave Gu Xiaoyao in Polygram for a long time!
"Well, as long as the quality of each album has such a level, I agree!" Saying that, he asked the secretary to print a contract, and after the two signed the contract, Xiang Tian looked at Gu Xiaoyao's age, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't believe in geniuses before, thinking that most of them succeed by hard work, but seeing you at such a young age, I really understand that some geniuses can not be caught up by hard work the day after tomorrow!" ”
"Mr. Xiang is overrated!" Gu Xiaoyao hurriedly said!
"By the way, you don't have a broker yet, the company equips you, or do you go to the brokerage company yourself?" Xiang Tian asked, at the same time, an agent is very important for artists! Since they have been in Polygram for the past three years, they naturally use their agent, it's not that Gu Xiaoyao doesn't want to look outside, but it's not very useful to find it, and it still has to listen to the company's arrangement, rather than that, it is better to let the company directly equip it!
After listening to Gu Xiaoyao's opinion, Xiang Tian asked Li Yan to arrange an agent for Gu Xiaoyao, and at the same time, he also had to keep up with the publicity and warm-up, and the momentum in the early stage was still very important! These things to build momentum are Li Yan's job, and Xiang Tian will not care, and followed Li Yan to her office, Li Yan said: "I believe you also know how important it is for us to warm up, I plan to select two songs in the album and put them outside, so that the public can better understand you!" ”
"Well, it should!" Gu Xiaoyao nodded, he was relatively familiar with these!
"Do you have any comments on which two songs?" Li Yan asked! "Kissing goodbye definitely doesn't work, this has to be used as a trump card, so let's use "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses" and "The Coffee House I Walked By", these two songs are still more in line with the current popularity, and the popularity is also high, and the melody is not too difficult!" Gu Xiaoyao groaned, this is also what he thought when he came to the road!
"Well, since you, the author, have said so, then come this way, you should hurry up and record these two songs in the recording studio first, as for the other songs, it is also very troublesome to make the editing of the album in the later stage!" Li Yan also made a decision immediately, and then Gu Xiaoyao left the office!
Outside, Gu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his star path has now officially taken the first step, as long as the first shot is played, it will definitely be a sea and sky in the future! Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoyao smiled slightly, and walked towards the recording studio, in the recording studio, Gu Xiaoyao explained the characteristics of his songs and some details, the recording engineer is also professional, listened to Gu Xiaoyao's opinion, and nervously prepared!
It's not that they haven't seen celebrities, or big names often come here to record, but it's the first time that Xiang Gu Xiaoyao is like this, not only composing and writing lyrics by himself, but also singing, and his singing skills are profound, plus Xiang Zong is here, which has attracted their attention! It is foreseeable that a new star is rising! After a few hours, it took two hours to record these two songs, which is still the result of Gu Xiaoyao's excellence, even so, it is faster than too many stars, they usually record a song for several days!
The rest is not what he should do, slowly walking home, Gu Xiaoyao looked at everything around him, and at the same time put two pillars of incense on his parents, and said: "The child is now living again, and he will definitely seize the opportunity!" ”
The next day, when Gu Xiaoyao was eating out, he suddenly heard the song "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses", I have already planted it for you, nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, from the day of the breakup, nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, the flowers have withered and the people have been haggard, and thousands of oaths have been annihilated with the flowers! Listening to the familiar melody and voice, Gu Xiaoyao also had to sigh that Polygram's movements were too fast, and he could hear this song on the street the next day! And the people who heard this song on the street hummed along with the melody, and some people ran to inquire from time to time to ask what the song was called! Especially in the video store on the street, these two songs are played more often! And "Walking Coffee House" is more looped in restaurants, coffee shops, beverage shops, etc.!
