"Hey, you got up so early? Why don't you spend more time with others? ”

At more than 7 o'clock in the morning, Shanghai is the peak time of work, and a guy with wet underwear has gotten up early to wash his underwear, and then with a melancholy mood, he tossed various equipment in the gym.

After recovering a little, he returned to his room with a white sweat towel covered in sweat to see that his agent was sitting at the edge of the table with the net.

Originally, he wanted to say "Brother Yan is early", but Gao Yan, a shameless guy, opened his mouth first and asked a topic that made him very embarrassed.

Brother Chic's face immediately changed, and he said angrily: "Accompany a fart!" Damn, I've always been a gentleman, okay? How could you possibly do the kind of thing you imagined, taking advantage of people's danger? ”

"Hehe, come on, can a man still not understand a man?"

Gao Yan didn't seem to see his black face, he blinked his eyes with a smile, and sighed: "You young people are in good health!" After being tired all night, I still have the energy to get up early, and I don't forget to continue to do fitness exercises, we can't do it, our belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and we feel tired and panicked when we walk! ”

"I~day, I really don't have it!"

Brother Xiao was so angry that he was about to collapse, he ripped off the towel around his neck, and said sadly and angrily while pulling hard: "After you left, I stayed in her room for less than 10 minutes, just fed her a glass of pure water, and then ran out quickly!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly pointed to the messy blanket on the bed and said, "If you don't believe me, you can touch the blanket and you'll know." There's definitely a bit of warmth in there. That's what I slept out last night. I really haven't done anything shameless! ”

Although Brother Chic behaved very sincerely and innocently, it was also believed!

Gao Yan didn't touch the blanket at all, and he didn't even turn his head around, he just said with a smile: "Hehe, you really haven't done anything, I believe you!" ”

Damn, do you believe me? So what are you laughing at? And your shoulders weishenme are shaking?

Brother dashing even can't see his face. But he saw Gao Yan's shoulders shaking slightly, as if he couldn't hold back a smile.

It's clear that he doesn't believe his own explanations, and just listens to the rhythm as a joke?

"Damn, brother, this is yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, it's not, it's!"

Brother Xiao shook his head painfully and sadly, and couldn't help complaining: "If you want to say that I really did it, am I afraid that you know?" A manly man, if you don't do it, you don't do it, and if you do, you will definitely admit it. Don't give me any more ridicule, isn't that interesting? ”

“haha。 Isn't that regrettable? Don't tell me, you don't kiss you! Gao Yan turned his head and quipped.

Nima, am I going to tell you that I touched it twice, and it was through the fabric?

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"

Brother Chic rubbed his eyes angrily, then glanced at the computer, and suddenly said: "Eh, by the way, you seem to have something to say to me last night, say it now!" ”

"That's right, don't you want me to find a suitable recording studio?"

Gao Yan moved the chair in a different direction, facing Brother Chic, and said seriously: "I ran almost 10 stores yesterday, but I found a problem, that is, all the recording studios that are willing to rent are basically very small, and the equipment is also very poor, and it is no problem to record for self-entertainment, but if you use it to record albums, I really can't imagine that you will be scolded to death by music critics." ”

"Are they all that bad?"

"What do you think?"

Damn, so how do I fix it?

Although Brother Chic has long been mentally prepared, he still looks very depressed when he hears Gao Yan's description, because high-end recording studios are basically owned by record companies, and people generally don't open them to the public!

In other words, he either had to go to a small studio to record, or he had to ask for permission from a regular record company to use someone's recording studio.

"Actually, I think we're in a misunderstanding now!"

Gao Yan looked at Brother Chic and said with some solemnity: "I haven't paid attention to the release of records before, I don't know yet, but after reading some materials in the past few days, I realized that in fact, it is really not easy to release records, especially large-scale listing and distribution across the country and Asia!" ”

The dashing brother sat on the edge of the bed, "You tell me in detail!" ”

"First of all, you have to spend money to buy a record version number, which is like a birth permit, with a version number, a record can enter a regular sales place for sale, such as Xinhua Bookstore, people's purchase must be genuine, no edition number, you don't want to put it on the shelf!"

Gao Yan said and glanced at Brother Chic, and saw that he nodded in understanding, so he said: "Secondly, even if the record has a birth permit, you have also recorded the master tape yourself, and we must at least find a regular publishing house to help burn the CD, contact the shelves, arrange book signings, fan meetings and other distribution matters, we can't go to a large video store and contact various publicity activities by ourselves, right?" ”

"yes, it makes sense, is there?"

"Zuihou, if your album wants to hit the charts, it can only be recommended by the record company or the distribution company, and the organizer of the list does not accept individual singer applications, that is, no matter how well you sing, no matter how much everyone likes it, your name will not appear on the list, then, when it comes to the awards ceremony, you can't get many music awards, such as the Chinese song list, Sprite original music list, etc."

Brother Chic was a little dumbfounded, he really didn't know this!

He originally thought that as long as he recorded the singing for a while, he could sell it to fans, but how did he think that there were so many programs?

Nima, isn't this forcing me to find a powerful publishing company to sign a contract?

Gao Yan said: "You all know Jay Chou and Wang Fei, their records are now responsible for content production, and they only sell the distribution rights to distribution companies." For example, Jay Chou's distribution rights in the mainland are Xinsuo Records. The foreign one used to be Xinli Records. Now Warner is in charge. ”

"You mean that I will also follow his example, find a distribution company in China, and then find another one outside the mainland to be in charge?"

"I think this is the most haode method!"

Gao Yan nodded bluntly: "If we do this, we don't need to have a headache in the recording studio at all, and we don't need to think about how to burn CDs, how to distribute goods, how to carry out promotional activities, and so on." You can finish filming the MV and leave nothing behind, but you won't start to get busy until it's officially on sale. ”

, my head is a little big!

Brother Chic held his forehead and thought for a while, and asked, "Then what does this distribution copyright mean?" Do I just license it to the issuing company? How to calculate the account? ”

Gao Yan suddenly laughed, he snapped his fingers exaggeratedly and said, "This is exactly what I was going to tell you last night, because I was contacted by several record companies with strong distribution capabilities, and they were willing to pay a high price to get the exclusive distribution rights of your records, the kind of global distribution." ”

"Oh? Then why didn't you say it earlier? ”

He stood up in a dashing manner, a little surprised. He also complained a little and said, "What are the companies?" How strong is the distribution capacity? Let's hear it! ”

Gao Yan opened a small notebook and read it: "Xinsuo Music, Busheng Music Culture, Yuedong Meika Audiovisual Culture, Tiankai Records, Shanghu Audio-visual Company ......"

"Forget it. Forget it, don't read it yet! ”

These names read out by Gao Yan directly made someone's head as big as a fight, and he couldn't understand what these companies were doing at all, let alone who was stronger and who was more sincere.

Therefore, he hurriedly interrupted Gao Yan's introduction and said directly: "Brother Yan, you can say it directly, what are the conditions of these record companies, and what are the benefits of the opening. ”

That's right, regardless of whether these companies are big or not, the key is to see how much they are willing to pay and how much they want to get!

"Well, my opinion is that there are only three that are very sincere, but the most sincere is Xinsuo Music!"

Gao Yan said with a smile: "Putting aside the strength of this company, the key is that they are willing to give you a guarantee fee of 1 million directly, that is to say, as long as you promise to give them the exclusive distribution rights, even if you can't sell a single record, at least you won't lose money!" ”

"I'll go, can my pursuit be so low?"

Brother Chic shook his head with a smile: "This doesn't count, I don't believe that with my current fame and strength, my record will not sell more than 3 million copies!" ”

Gao Yan smiled and nodded: "I don't believe it either, and this 1 million is too little!" Last year's Super Girl runner-up Zhou Bi Sing knows, right? She signed the album distribution right with Tiankai Records a few months ago with a minimum deposit of 1 million for the distribution copyright, which is already a sky-high price among newcomers, and you have to at least double it to get it! ”

"1 million is so much that you dare to claim that it is a sky-high price? So what do they say? ”

"I haven't talked about this issue yet, but I will definitely insist on getting a guarantee of 3 million!"

Gao Yan said: "But I'm afraid this problem will be very difficult! The domestic copyright fee is 3~3.5 yuan per record, that is to say, to convince them that your record can sell more than 1 million copies casually, which is really hard to talk about! ”

Brother Chic looked very calm and said, "You can refund more and make up less!" I'm not going to cheat them! ”

"Hehe, who did you hear that the guarantee would be refunded?"

Gao Yan waved his hand and said: "Let me tell you, this deposit will not be refunded, even if a record is not sold, they can only consider themselves unlucky, and they will never ask you for a deposit, because this is one of the unspoken rules of the current record market." ”

Brother Chic opened his mouth in astonishment, but after thinking about it, he found that it was normal, because the current record market is indeed sluggish, and many big-name singers can only sell between 10 tens of thousands ~ 500,000 copies. (To be continued......)
