Wang Bo smiled after receiving Reddy's call, the character of these four people was much better than he expected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Sunset Group can become popular because of their eight songs, but only Wang Bo knows that these eight songs can be created, thanks to the stimulation of the heart of the bar. The others didn't know, and neither did the Reddy Four.

So, after the four of them finished their contract with him, he had nothing to say even if he left Sunset Town directly.

It's just that in that case, when the four of them are outside, Jiang Lang still wants to return to the Flaming Mountain Bar, then don't even think about it.

When he went to work the next day, Ryan called him and said that there was something he wanted to talk to him about.

Wang Bo knew what they wanted to talk about, so he happily agreed to let them come to the office, there were more things on Monday, and he really couldn't leave here.

Schneider came with a gift this time, a CD called Deus-ex-Machina, which was the first CD published by ACT Inc., which belonged to Australian experimental musician Paul Skouzer.

The album set the stage for ACT Records to lead the way with innovative contemporary music, and the following year, British electronic band Muslimgauze signed in, reinforcing their musical diversity of experimentation and mainstream.

Schneider's gift of this record is of unique significance, and after a kind exchange with Wang Bo, he explained the CD record he sent away, telling him that their company has the characteristics of combining various musical styles, and has many musical talents who are good at innovation.

"We select a musician based on his composition, usually by listening to his LPs, CDs or demos," he says. Most of this music comes from recommendations from others or through sample recordings passed on to us. ”

"The Sunset Combo was an exception, we found their singing voices online and to be honest, we were impressed, their voices were explosive, real vapor voices. Then we had a meeting and decided to take them to redevelop the record. ”

The record was not registered with any company, and the copyright belonged to the four of Ryan, but everyone didn't realize that the record would be so popular at the beginning, and Ryan and Reddy granted the record rights to Sunset Town to thank Wang Bo for his help in the recording process.

Schneider wanted to reissue the record, saying, "With all due respect, Mr. Mayor, Roar of Voices is a good record, just not very good. ”

"In our view, the production of a record is a process of interaction between the studio and the musicians, which is like a catalyst for the musicians' creativity and artistic inspiration to be thoroughly released in the final production, and the musicians are an important part of it, if not the most important."

Wang Bo glanced at him and said, "What you said earlier is very beautiful, and I am very happy to hear it, but what you said in the end is a bit too mysterious, right?" ”

Schneider laughed: "Mr. Mayor, I know you must be skeptical, did I just say this just to get the copyright of this record and then make it and sell it for money?" ”

"Well, if we're lucky enough to sign Sunset, we'd like to remake 'Sound Boom', but after the album is released, the proceeds will be deducted from our production costs and operating expenses, and the rest will be handed over to you. As for how you distribute it, we don't interfere. ”

"Also, if you're worried about our costs and operating expenses, I can sign a contract with you, and the total cost of this will not exceed 15% of the sales proceeds, how about it?"

Wang Bodao: "Okay, I apologize to you for my careful thinking just now, it seems that you are really good at these four guys, to be honest, I am very satisfied with your sincerity." ”

Schneider looked at him sincerely and said: "We are capitalists, but we are not vampires, as early as the beginning of the creation of ACT, we knew that only by cooperating with music creators, sincere cooperation, can we achieve a win-win situation." ”

"I talked a lot last night with Ryan, Reddy, Tutu, Badman and they were happy with the terms we were given, the only hesitation was not knowing if to leave Sunsettown. The four guys believe that Sunset has become their hometown, and they can't betray it. ”

Ryan nodded, his eyes frank, "Yes, Chief, we love Sunset Town." ”

Wang Bohaha laughed and said, "I understand, I'm glad you think so, I've been worried that you'll think Sunset Town is trapping you. As for joining ACT Records, I think you'd better find a professional agent to find out first, and if it's a good choice, then join them! ”

Reddy said: "Boss, we know about this, ACT is really a good choice, Sony, Warner, Universal Music, Rolling Stone are more powerful, but how can they take a fancy to our small characters and be patient to negotiate terms?" ”

Since the four of them made a choice, Lao Wang decided to respect them and not to be a teacher.

All four of them are adults, and although Reddy is impulsive, he listens to Ryan, and Ryan is a sane person, and if he also thinks that ACT is worth joining, then this record company should be good.

So, he stood up and shook hands with the four of them one by one, and said, "You deserve it, guys, I know very well how much you have paid for music, and now that you finally have the opportunity to soar to the sky, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I will never stop you." ”

"Also, folks, Sunset Town will always be your hometown. Writing songs requires inspiration, and I think the Flaming Mountain Bar is actually a great place to write, and if you need it in the future, the Flaming Mountain Bar will definitely have a place for you. ”

This is his greatest help to the four of them, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

Ryan misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he wanted them to come back to sing often, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, as long as we are in New Zealand, we will return to Sunset Town for a while every month, and the Flaming Mountain Bar is our home field!" ”

Wang Bo didn't explain, there is no feast in the world, and he has to find a trump card for the bar again.

When it was time to say goodbye at the end, Schroeder said: "Mayor Wang, you are the most sincere boss and friend I have ever met, and they praised you in front of me last night, and I didn't think so at the time, but now I am convinced." ”

"I'm not saying this to save face, in fact, last night in the terms we negotiated, they asked me to give you a gift that was originally intended for them!"

Wang Bo was curious: "What gift?" ”

Ryan smiled, "Chief, it's definitely a gift that both you and Sunset Town will love." (To be continued.) )
