Chapter 544: Han Da flickered
It's actually rare for a songwriter to create a hit song in his lifetime. Most American musicians are only able to write songs for commercials or make soundtracks for low-budget films.
, each estimate can sell more than a million copies, and the value contained in it is beyond his estimates. A conservative estimate would be at least $3 billion.
A pop song in the United States can earn as much as $7.5 million in performance royalties in his lifetime. The Beat-It Divine Comedy is priceless.
, even if it doesn't reach the level of the Divine Comedy, but at least it's a song of great quality. If you divide it by grade, it is at least A++.
Hundreds of songs with A++ quality.
Now the white paper with words written in his hand has turned into a pile of banknotes in his hand, and many of them can bury him.
"Goo-toot!" , I feel that my throat is a little hot.
"Mr. Marshall, it's noon, I think we'd better rest first, and then come back and continue the review." Kawasaki pointed to his watch and smiled at Marshall.
Marshall waved his hand rudely, now that he was so excited, how could he be in the mood to eat again. He's going to stay here until he's done reviewing the songs.
"Uh......" Kawasaki saw that he rudely rejected his offer, and couldn't help but sit back in his seat depressed.
The so-called official level crushes people to death, and his status is not as high as Marshall's, so he can only be obedient.
Han Jin heard the gurgling sound of Kawasaki Yue's stomach, believing that he should have been hungry. I couldn't help but smile at him and pat him on the shoulder. "Gentlemen, I'm hungry." He stood up and said.
, blinked, "Then let's take a rest first." ”
He can not care about Kawasaki Yue's life or death, but he must treat Han Jin respectfully. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about these songs on the table now. Any one taken out can make a sensation in the music world, and it contains extremely high commercial value.
In capitalist society, whoever can make money has the highest status. It's not a good thing to starve him.
"Han San, thank you!" Kawasaki looked at Han Jin and said movingly.
"You're welcome, who made us friends." Han Jin said with a smile, although Kawasaki Yueren is a little more bureaucratic. But he is a capable person, and he has always been very humble to him, and Han Jin will naturally not refuse if he can help him.
Kawasaki couldn't help but be even more moved when he heard him say this, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Put away the songs and go out to dinner together.
At the dinner table, it was as if I wanted to see him through. Such a young man was able to write so many songs. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have never believed it.
Even if it's a talented musician in the United States. It is not easy to write ten or twenty best-selling songs in a lifetime. But hundreds of songs were taken out in one go, and this kind of thing was still unheard of and unseen for him.
And these hundreds of songs also cover rock, jazz, country, pop, soul, reggae, dance music...... There are almost all kinds of songs, which makes it even more incredible.
It's good for the average musician to be able to straddle two or three fields. Because the style of music is different, the melody is different, and the spiritual core is also different, rock music and country music are completely two concepts, one advocates freedom. One promotes tradition, and both are almost at odds with each other's musical philosophies.
, and at the same time be able to write such good country music.
Could it be that he is schizophrenic, one of whom advocates the freedom and emancipation of individuality, and the other who advocates a return to tradition, abstinence and conservatism?!
It's just incredible!
But it was born in front of him, so he couldn't deny it if he wanted to.
"Mr. Marshall, do you have any questions?" Han Jin saw that he was looking at him with an expression of disbelief, so that he had no appetite to eat the tuna sushi in front of him, so he couldn't help but put the piece of sushi down and asked.
"How did you do that?" , he felt that if he didn't ask for clarification, he might not be able to sleep well in his life.
The scene in front of him completely turned his perception upside down, as if a person who had never believed in God saw Jesus coming, and the whole worldview seemed to be turned upside down.
"What do you mean?" Han Jin smiled and took a sip of bitter tea. The bitter taste made him frown, but after swallowing it, it was a little sweet, and the taste was eternal, like a good song for three days, it was indeed a good tea.
"Song, of course, means song."
"It's simple, just write it and come out." Han Jin said with a smile, and as he spoke, he picked up the tuna sushi and put it in his mouth, "The taste of this restaurant is not bad, I don't think it's worse than kaiseki cuisine." He said with a smile to Kawasaki.
Kawasaki Yue also nodded, "Han Sang is happy to eat, I'll invite you next time." ”
Han Jin smiled, "Okay, but I'll have to wait a little longer." ”
, but completely ignore their own problems, and can't help but feel very depressed.
"Han, how exactly did you create it?" He asked again.
"Mr. Marshall, if it were me, would you give your know-how to others?" Seeing that he was still persistently asking, Han Jin couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
There is no creator in this world who is willing to pass on the know-how of his creation to others, even if it is passed on from master to apprentice.
, couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head depressedly.
If it were him, he wouldn't have passed on the know-how of making zuò albums to others.
"Mr. Marshall, enjoy the food in front of you. Don't waste Mr. Kawasaki's good intentions. Han Jin pointed out with a smile again.
Marshall nodded, but in the face of these various and beautifully decorated Japanese dishes, he was unpleasantly eaten, like a cow chewing peonies, and he couldn't grasp the beauty of it at all.
Kawasaki saw him so wasteful. I couldn't help but pout, I knew that you were such a violent thing, I should have pulled you to eat KFC and McDonald's, and saved the waste of such good fresh ingredients.
"Han, I just want to know how you can make rock music and also be able to make country music." Marshall listened to Han Jin's words, and after eating a few pieces of sushi, he couldn't help but ask.
If this problem is not clarified, then he really can't sleep well at night.
Han Jin smiled, "Actually, all music genres. It's just an expression of human affection. And everybody has seven emotions and six desires, there are times when they want to indulge, and there are times when they want to return, so I can write rock music and country music, I don't see anything contradictory to this. ”
, I can't help but feel that what he said seems to make sense. But thinking about being able to move freely between these two extremes makes his nerves thick enough.
Marshall felt that if he was indulgent all at once. If you are conservative and abstinent all of a sudden, I guess I didn't wait for the song to be written. I've gone crazy first.
"Han, how did you manage to maintain a balance between these two feelings?" Marshall asked, confused.
"It probably has something to do with my profession, I'm actually still an actor." Han Jin said with a smile.
"......" Marshall was stunned, "really?!" ”
He looked at Kawasaki Koshido suspiciously.
"Really, the movie starring Han Sang is a very popular hit, and it is also very popular with our Japanese audience." Kawasaki nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Marshall had heard that there were three schools of acting. Methodism, Expression, and Experience? Han Jin asked Marshall again.
Marshall nodded, although he was not very familiar with theatrical performances, but these three schools were already basic common sense, and he still knew a little.
"Han, what do you mean. When you create these songs, you first use the method of acting to put yourself in the role, and then quit the role after you finish writing the song, right? Marshall said suddenly.
"The children can be taught." Han Jin nodded, with an unfathomable look, which made everyone present awe-inspired.
"Oh my God, why haven't I tried such a great method before?" Marshall was pleasantly surprised and said that if he could master this method, wouldn't it mean that he would be able to write a variety of songs across borders in the future?! That would push his talents to the limit.
Han Jin saw his ecstatic look, but he couldn't help but secretly laugh. What he just said is nothing more than nonsense, and if Marshall really intends to use this method to create, then he will not die of cancer before he dies of schizophrenia.
……
After eating, everyone went back to check the songs.
It was busy until the night, and all the eight hundred and twenty songs were checked.
"Mr. Marshall, what do you think of my songs?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
Marshall took a hard breath, and after carefully reflecting on it for a long time, he gave a thumbs up, "Very good~"
Han Jin smiled, he already knew that the result would be like this.
You must know that these 820 songs are all copied from the US Billboard charts.
The number of albums released in the United States every year is more than 1,000, and the number of songs is as high as tens of thousands, and being able to make it to the Billboard chart is already a very good result. Not to mention that most of the songs selected by Han Jin are still in the top 30, so the quality is naturally high.
"So you've already accepted these songs?" Han Jin asked with a smile again.
"Uh......".
Based on the advance payment of 500,000 US dollars per song, Han Jin needs to pay a total of 410 million US dollars for these 820 songs.
Although the money will be earned back in the future, it will take a long time. After all, so many songs appear at once, and the market must always be given a time to digest.
With $410 million, Sony Records doesn't have such a large amount of cash. It is estimated that even if Universal Records, EMI Records, and Warner Records are added together, there will not be so much cash.
Therefore, if Han Jin wants to pay all the money in advance now, he will force Sony Records to bankruptcy.
"This ......", the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, and he felt so embarrassed before.
Sony Records is also one of the world's leading record companies, and now it is difficult to even pay the full amount of the advance money, which is really embarrassing for him.
"Han, to be honest, I know your songs are great, every one of them is very good. But you also have to know that the company can't make that much advance payment for a while. ”。
Han Jin smiled, "Okay, then how much can you come up with now?" ”
"Well, I think I can come up with a maximum of 150 million dollars."
Han Jin nodded, "Okay, I won't embarrass you, then pay 150 million US dollars first." The remaining $260 million, I hope to get a stake in Sony Records. (To be continued!)
