David. Geffen reluctantly took over the score, and the first song was "RightHereWaiting", which is also known as "This Love". It was originally the American rock lyricist Richard. Marx's masterpiece, but now Richard. Marx is far from debuting, so Xu Guanwu plagiarized it and gave it directly to Deng Lijun for her to sing.

Although the song "This Love Can Be Treated" was supposed to be a man's affectionate confession, it always feels a little awkward if it is sung by a lady, but this song is an enduring English lyrical classic after all, even if Deng Lijun is not popular after singing it first, but when other singers become popular, Deng Lijun will also be frequently mentioned.

At that time, I don't know if it is the cost of the copyright of the cover, and even her record sales will be stimulated. This is why European and American singers often cover the songs of their predecessors, and in many cases it is not just a tribute. There is also the consideration that record companies want to boost the sales of old records.

David. Geffen finished reading the song "This Love" in a moment, and then watched the next few songs with an expression of disbelief, "BEUTIFULDAY", "MYLOVE", "YOURAISEMEUP", "HOWDIDIFALLINLOVEWITHYOU", "JustOneLastDance", "Beautifulday" and so on, each of which is a catchy classic.

Read all these sixty songs in one go, David. Geffen looked at Xu Guanwu with wide eyes in surprise, unable to speak for a long time.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw his expression. Although these songs are those classic songs of his previous life that he plagiarized. Use this method to bully David. Geffen was a bit unkind. But since this is the golden finger arranged by God, Xu Guanwu has no reason not to use it. It's like if you are lucky enough to cross into the world of "Dragon Babu", who can resist the desire in their hearts not to go to Wuliang Mountain to get the martial arts cheats of the Freedom School?

"Well, the quality of these songs is okay, right? I'm just taking a small part, and if it's not enough, we still have a lot of them. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

David. Geffen's face twitched, as if someone had slapped him with an invisible slap, "Xu." Are these songs really written by musicians in Hong Kong? ”

"Of course, or do you think it fell from the sky?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

David. Geffen smiled bitterly, knowing that his attitude just now was not good, and he Xu Guanwu, so there were bones in every sentence, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't mean that," said David. Geffen hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "I think these songs are really amazing, I really want to meet you musicians in Hong Kong, can you find a chance to discuss music together?" ”

Xu Guanwu smiled. "That's good, of course, but there's no rush for now. Let's get Teresa's album out first, do you think any of these songs are useful? ”

"Yes, yes, enough for an album." David. Geffen hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, I will help her make this album." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw him looking like a man and a backward man, he was happy to smash people with a golden finger, and he smashed them into a daze and speechless every minute.

"By the way, Xu, I'll discuss something with you, okay?" David. Geffen replied shyly to Xu Guanwu.

When Xu Guanwu saw his shy and smiling eyes, he couldn't help but shiver at Lingling, it was too cold. "Let's hear it first." Xu Guanwu patted the goosebumps on his body and said.

"That's right, you see there are more than 60 songs here, and Theresa has only released an album of about a dozen songs at most. Can the rest of the songs be sung by other singers in our company? "David. Geffen asked tentatively, in a cautious tone.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "That's not good, these songs are all sung for Terry, other singers want to sing it, and let them cover it in addition to the record in the future." ”

David. Geffen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the music world, debut and cover are completely two different concepts, even if the first album may not sell very well, but the reputation is higher than the cover. And if you cover it, you have to pay the copyright fee for the first song, which is quite a lot of money if it accumulates up.

"Xu, don't be so resolute, let's discuss it again. You see, among these songs, many songs are not suitable for female voices to sing, even if Teresa reluctantly sings, it is estimated that they will not be well received. It's better to transfer it to a suitable male singer to sing, and I promise you a pretty good pay. "David. Geffen hurriedly said with a smile again.

XU GUANWU SMILED, HE NATURALLY KNEW THAT AMONG THESE SONGS, MANY SONGS WERE ACTUALLY SUNG BY MALE SINGERS, SUCH AS "BEATIT", "MYLOVE", "YOURAISEMEUP" AND SO ON, BUT HE STILL INSISTED ON LETTING DENG LIJUN SING FIRST, EVEN IF IT SOUNDED A LITTLE WEIRD, THE RECORD SALES MIGHT NOT BE VERY HIGH, AND THERE WAS A FEELING OF BEING A TYRANNICAL THING, BUT XU GUANWU JUST WANTED DENG LIJUN TO SING FIRST.

"You're a waste of that." Seeing that Xu Guanwu bit to death, he didn't let go, David. Geffen couldn't help but say depressedly.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I have a good song, and if it's wasted, it's wasteful, and you bite me." ”

David. Geffen was completely speechless, "Okay, okay, since you insist, so be it." Alas! O iniquity! "David. Geffen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

He knows what a good song means to a singer, and many times a good song can make a singer popular, prolong his artistic life, and make a lot of money for the record company.

Record companies usually divide the collected songs into four grades, and the A-grade songs are super good songs, with beautiful melodies, and people will like them after listening to them, like Michael. JACKSON'S "DANGEROUS", BACKSTREET BOYS' "ASLONGASYOULOVEME", ETC., B-GRADE SONGS ARE GENERALLY GOOD SONGS WITH BEAUTIFUL MELODIES. It's fascinating. It has the potential to be a big seller. But you need to adopt a suitable publicity strategy, C-grade songs are ordinary songs, there is little potential for popularity, but it may be suitable for fans with certain tastes. D-grade songs are garbage songs, they belong to the kind of songs that make up the numbers, and they are piled up in the album to fill the numbers, and they may not leave any impression when they are played on a loop a few times.

A record company releases an album, and if there is an A-grade song in an album, it is quite remarkable. Most of the time, it's just two or three B-grade songs paired with seven or eight C-grade songs, and one or two D-grade songs. Of course, if it's a superstar, like Michael. Jackson, like him, has a lot of control over his albums, and he has bargaining chips with the record company, so he can add two more A-grade songs to his album, or B-grade songs, and replace the D-grade songs in them.

And David. Geffen found that among the more than 60 songs brought by Xu Guanwu, more than half of them were A-grade songs, and all the rest were B-grade songs. There are almost no C-grade songs, let alone D-grade songs.

If you follow the way you use an A-grade song with a B-grade song for each album. Mermaid Records can release at least twenty albums, and if each album sells three million copies, that's a full sixty million copies. At a profit of five dollars per record, that's a full $300 million. And that's not even counting the value of popular singers, and the sales of future concerts, compilations, videos, etc., if you calculate them evenly, these 60-odd songs can create at least a billion dollars in profits.

David. Although Geffen is already a famous figure in the American record industry, he is only worth tens of millions of dollars at the moment, so this billion dollars is simply astronomical for him. Think about the world's largest record companies, the market value is only a few hundred million dollars. Mermaid Records can rely on these songs to become the most profitable record label in the United States and the world.

Imagine what a glorious thing it would be, but now Xu Guanwu ruthlessly crushed David. Geffen's dream made him regret that he couldn't smoke a few big mouths, if it wasn't for his bad mouth, would he have lost so much money?

Xu Guanwu was very happy to see David. The appearance of Geffen sucking his mouth made him arrogant yesterday, he didn't even use bean buns as dry food, and now he has been taught a lesson, and he is finally honest, right?!

"In that case, then Teresa's album will be handed over to you to make, work hard." Xu Guanwu smiled and patted David. Geffen's shoulder couldn't help but laugh.

"Xu, do you know how much damage you have caused to yourself by going your own way? At least hundreds of millions of dollars. "David. Geffen said bitterly.

"I know." Xu Guanwu nodded and smiled.

"Why do you do this when you know that?" David. Geffen asked, almost frantically.

"Because I like it." Xu Guanwu continued to be angry and did not pay for his life.

David. Geffen couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long roar, wishing that he could turn into a werewolf and tear Xu Guanwu to pieces. He used to think that Xu Guanwu was the best business partner in the world, but now he knows that Xu Guanwu is completely a demon, and he is cruelly playing with him, which really makes him too depressed.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry, obediently help Teresa make this album." Xu Guanwu saw that his angry eyes were already glowing red, and he couldn't bear to add fuel to the fire, "If Teresa's album is successful, I will consider giving you some of these songs." ”

"Really?!" David. When Geffen heard this, his eyes lit up.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I mean what I say." ”

"Okay, you wait to see my strength." David. Geffen smiled confidently.

Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, and then left Mermaid Records with Deng Lijun. Waiting out of the company's door, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, looking at David. Geffen's face was swollen by himself, and he was so happy.

"Look at him and dare to underestimate Hong Kong musicians, hum! I know it's amazing this time. Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

"Ah Wu, what the hell happened just now, I don't seem to understand very well." Deng Lijun asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu smiled and slapped David in the face just now. Geffen told the story, "Do you think it's very enjoyable, and he will dare to be arrogant in front of me in the future." ”

Deng Lijun couldn't help but giggle when he heard this, "Ah Wu, you are too bad, use this method to rectify him." No wonder I saw that his face was blue and white just now, and I thought he had malaria. ”

"Haha, malaria, yes, I can't do it if I don't want to do it." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Let's go, let's go have a good meal to celebrate." ”

"Well, where are you going to eat?" Deng Lijun eats Western food these days, either hamburgers or pizza, or milk and cereal, or vegetable salad, and the whole person's appetite is spoiled. Now that I heard that I was going to eat well, I couldn't help but salivate and almost flowed out.

"How about going to Chinatown for Chinese food, I had a meal there the last time I was here, and it tasted pretty good." Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

"Yes, yes, I've been here for so long, and I haven't had a good meal." Deng Lijun immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

Xu Guanwu blinked again, "Teresa, did you say bring Miss Zhong with you?" (To be continued......)
