Chapter 17: The Shrinking Record Industry

In the hotel, when Wang Meixia, Zhao Li, Zhao Rong, and Fan Xiaoxuan and others followed Stephen Zhao to see Jay Sun, they were all shocked without exception, their mouths were slightly open, their eyes were wide, and they were in a state of stunned.

"Wow, it's a real person!" Zhao Li, Zhao Rong and their three classmates all let out exclamations, and then covered their mouths, nervous, apprehensive, excited, and excited, and they were at a loss, not knowing how they should react next.

And among them, the most shocking was Wang Meixia, when Jay Sun really appeared in front of her, she was stupid, and even subconsciously said: "Are you really Jay Sun?" It can't be a fake, right? ”

Although Fan Xiaoxuan was surprised to really see Jay Sun, she was not a fan of Jay Sun herself, so she quickly regained her composure, and only occasionally glanced at Stephen Zhao with a curious look in her eyes, and muttered in her heart: "What is the origin of this Stephen Zhao, who actually said that he could see Jay Sun?" ”

The group was taken by Jay Sun's agent Jiang Mei, and then met Jay Sun in the hotel room.

Jay Sun first greeted Stephen Zhao, and then said with a smile: "I am Jay Sun, not a fake, such as a fake!" ”

Wang Meixia's whole face turned red, I don't know if Lu Dao was so ashamed that she was red or because she saw Jay Sun's smiling face, her reaction was also a little shy, her eyes wandered, and she didn't seem to dare to look directly into Jay Sun's eyes.

Zhao Xingchi's heart was secretly refreshed, and his thoughts were clear, but he was also disgusted by Wang Meixia's reaction: "I'll rub it, this mother-in-law shouldn't be Jay Sun's brainless fan, right?" Or is it the crazy unrequited love Jay Sun? ”

The attraction of celebrities to their fans, Stephen Zhao never dared to underestimate them.

Looking at the earth, Cheng Long's fans in Japan even committed suicide because of Cheng Long's scandal, and Stephen Zhao was deeply touched after hearing the report.

Wang Meixia is crazy about falling in love with Jay Sun, which is not impossible.

However, looking at Wang Meixia's conditions and Jay Sun's situation, the two can't get together anyway. Of course, if anyone posts it upside down, that's another story.

Stephen Zhao maliciously speculated about these thoughts, and at the same time told Jay Sun about the hopes of Zhao Li and Zhao Rong.

Jay Sun readily agreed and signed quickly.

That's not all, Jay Sun also played with these girls with great interest and took a group photo, so much so that Wang Meixia couldn't help it and came up to ask for a group photo.

On the other side, Zhao Xingchi and Jiang Mei walked together and walked into Jiang Mei's room.

"I don't know what Mr. Zhao thinks about our proposal?" As soon as they entered, after the two sat down, Jiang Mei immediately asked with a smile, and the enthusiasm made people's hearts warm.

However, what kind of person is Stephen Zhao, a cold-blooded otaku.

Although Jiang Mei has an enthusiastic attitude, Jiang Mei is also good-looking, wearing a black OL outfit on her body, she is full of mature and charming royal sister style, and she is the favorite of otaku, but Zhao Xingchi has been impulsive before, and now he has regained his composure, and the joy in his eyes when he looks at Jiang Mei has long been gone.

"East Wind Breaking", a song with Chinese style on the earth, was selected by Stephen Zhao and sold to Jay Sun, not to mention Stephen Zhao's purpose, the reason why he aimed at Jay Sun was also because he saw Jay Sun's decline in the music industry in the past two years and Jay Sun's own music style.

At this time, Jay Sun urgently needs to change his music style and move to a higher level.

At the same time, Jay Sun's development journey is also very similar to that of someone.

Considering both sides, Stephen Zhao decisively decided to sell "Dongfeng Break" to Jay Sun.

Jay Sun also lived up to his expectations, and after receiving the lyrics of the song "East Wind Breaking", he expressed his appreciation in the afternoon, and at the same time offered him a more satisfactory price to buy out the song.

30,000 yuan!

There is no doubt that these 30,000 yuan are insignificant for a traverser like Stephen Zhao, and it is not enough to even plug the gaps between the teeth.

However, in this Internet era when the record industry is in serious decline, it is already an amazing achievement for a newcomer to be able to sell songs for 30,000 yuan. Generally speaking, the record company can give two or three thousand yuan to the newcomer, which is generous enough, usually they don't know how to watch it, and just throw it in the garbage heap.

The legendary story of a newcomer selling songs and scripts in the novel can only be listened to as a legendary story, not taken seriously.

Stephen Zhao consulted Wang Dezhong about these issues, so after Jiang Mei and Jay Sun offered a price of 30,000 yuan to buy out the song "East Wind Break", he was very satisfied and happily signed the contract, and handed over the full version of the song to Jay Sun at that time, and this is also the reason why Jay Sun can sing it at the concert.

Jiang Mei's consideration in the question was an invitation she made in the afternoon, inviting him to join Jay Sun's self-created "Weijie Records" and serve as one of Jay Sun's royal songwriters.

Jay Sun regained his freedom in the third year after becoming a superstar, and set up his own agency and record company that year, one called "Weijie Entertainment" and the other called "Weijie Records", to fully operate and package himself.

Of course, Weijie Records has also signed a lot of lyricists, composers, and music producers.

This time, Jiang Mei and Jay Sun probably took a fancy to his talent, so they wanted him to join Weijie Records.

Facing Jiang Mei's enthusiastic questioning, Zhao Xingchi pondered for a while, and finally replied: "I'm a layman, I don't know much about the rules of the industry, I just think according to my own ideas, so I just said it directly." I can join Weijie Records, or I can write lyrics and music for Mr. Sun, but the copyright of the song needs to belong to me. In addition, I want to take 15% of the revenue share on the channels of records, commercials, commercial performances, etc.! ”

"Fifteen percent?" Jiang Mei exclaimed, and then said angrily: "Mr. Zhao, are you joking?" Fifteen percent of the share, which is absolutely impossible, two percent at most! ”

"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Zhao Xingchi didn't talk nonsense with her, and said directly.

Jiang Mei laughed angrily and said coldly: "I think Mr. Zhao, you don't know anything about our business. Even in the early 90s, at the height of the record industry, all content providers, including lyricists, composers, producers, agencies, record labels, and singers, only had a 40% share of the records. Of the 40 percent, 60 percent are for record companies, 30 percent for brokerage companies, and only 10 percent are for singers, lyricists, composers, and producers. As for now, hum, it's already great that content providers can get a 10% share, Mr. Zhao, you want 15% as soon as you open your mouth, this is just a joke! ”

Stephen Zhao was stunned when he heard this, it was a little unbelievable that the record industry had shrunk to such a point, but he didn't change his original intention, he just said with a smile: "It's not a joke to bother Miss Jiang, but I think we still have a chance to cooperate." ”

Jiang Mei replied with a cold face: "I hope so!" ”
