Just when Sakai Izumi and Kawashima thought that the conversation was coming to an end, Zhou Xiao remembered something again, and he said: "By the way, can this first single be made into an underground single?" ”

"Underground? weishenme: Would you think so? Kawashima was very surprised by Zhou Xiao's thoughts.

"Because ......" Zhou Xiao was a little speechless, in his thoughts, since this single was popular in his last life, it only sold more than 2 million in karaoke, then if he was his own, it is estimated that it will not sell less, and in the case of almost certain sales, it is obvious that the production company and the distribution company will share the cake is obviously a trend of sending money out.

"It seems that little brother, your confidence in this song is really extraordinary." Sakai Spring Water chuckled, while using a straw to flick the ice cubes in the glass in front of her, while playfully saying, her appearance caused Zhou Xiao and Kawashima to be stunned, don't look at Sister Quanshui is over thirty years old, and she doesn't appear on TV all year round, but in essence, Sakai Spring Water is very beautiful, especially the more plain and casual life over the years has made her aging very slow, and there are no wrinkles between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, even if she doesn't apply thin powder, she looks like a girl in her twenties. On top of such a beautiful appearance, it is necessary to add the confidence of being the best singer for many years and the taste brought by maturity, a variety of excellent qualifications bloom so harmoniously and perfectly on her body, making her chuckle this time look both amorous and pure and beautiful.

"I hate it, why do you look at me like that." Sakai Izumi also felt the fiery eyes of the big boy in front of him, and lowered his head a little shyly.

"Ahem...... Zhou Xiao coughed awkwardly and said, "Sister Quanshui, I don't have confidence, I think this song is ...... If you don't go through the company's operation, it may not be bad to rely solely on underground circulation, but as long as you can land karaoke and rely on word of mouth, you should be able to get good sales. ”

"Uh...... Mr. Zhou Xiao, I am still qualified to say in this regard, in fact, there are some mistakes in your thinking. "Kawashima Road.

"Wrong?"

"I guess you must think that if you release an underground album, you will lose a lot of revenue from channel providers when you sell CDs, but in fact, things are not so simple." Kawashima said.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiao asked, Kawashima's words were actually what Zhou Xiao was thinking, but Zhou Xiao didn't admit it directly, he asked rhetorically.

"Actually, it's very simple, if you sign a company, then when a CD is put on the shelf for sale, there are about a few companies that split the profits, including record stores, record distribution companies, music production companies and agencies, and the author and singer of a song."

"That's right." Zhou Xiao nodded, he still knew this kind of basic knowledge.

"Generally speaking, the songwriter and singer account for about 15% of the total share, and the rest of the profit is shared by the other three parties. In this case, although there is less music production company and agency company to split profits, at the same time, record distribution companies and record companies will inevitably ask for more profits from the distributors of underground albums, after all, you are releasing underground albums, and the record company needs to take more risk of losing money.

Moreover, karaoke is not easy to do, because the music released by formal channels is guaranteed by the distribution company, so there is not much obstacle when it is added to the karaoke system, but if you are an underground single, let alone use it, the karaoke company does not pay you the fee to add to the system, thank God.

Therefore, for various reasons, although it seems that the underground album has gone through some channels, it is actually not much money saved, otherwise, wouldn't those singers swarm to terminate their contracts with the company and become underground singers after they become popular? And without our professional one-stop service, you have to run a lot of things by yourself, just chatting, I heard that you seem to have a lot of things you want to do, in this case, will you have time to run these things?

And the most important thing is that we are beings, we do the best rock music in all of Japan, and you only have a preliminary song now, what are you going to do in terms of arrangement? Kawashima Zuihou said the most important point.

Although he had a deep understanding of the Japanese entertainment industry in his previous life, once he went deep into the secret content of the industry, Zhou Xiao was not clear, and he realized that it turned out that the underground singles were not the singer's own will, and it was really a helpless move. Moreover, the issue of arrangement has also been taken seriously by him.

It is true that the lyrics and composition of a song are very important, but the role of arranging is also not small, and, unlike composing, which requires talent and inspiration, what arranging needs most is a person's musical literacy and experience, and there are thousands of songs in his head? Playing the guitar for more than ten years? These things are all possessed by Zhou Xiao, such as plug-ins, yes, but these things may not be reflected too much when arranging the music, and the arrangers of being, whether it is Masao Akashi or Hayama たけし (can be translated as Hayama Takeshi), Daisuke Ikeda and others are the best arrangers in Japan, if they help arrange the music, this song will definitely be no less brilliant than Zhou Xiao's previous life.

After breaking up this day, Zhou Xiao was still a little dizzy on the way home, he didn't care too much about the signing company or something, the main reason why he was so much was still the meeting with Sister Sakai Quanshui.

After returning home, he didn't even have the interest in writing novels, but he also knew very well that if he didn't advance, he would retreat, so even if he didn't want to, he still barely wrote enough of the minimum number set for himself every day, and finally threw down his pen with confidence and stared at the ceiling.

The question he was thinking about in a daze was very simple, just one, do you want to call Sister Sakai Izumizu......

For him, it is really surprising and fortunate to know Sakai Spring, as one of the most ordinary dead otaku in Beijing, China, he was originally in Tokyo, maybe he could meet a star, but Sakai Spring, is the person he will never meet, just from this point of view, he has to cherish and try to let her please this suffocating fate.

But what Zhou Xiao didn't know was that in fact, somewhere in Tokyo, Sakai Spring, who tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, turned out to be like this, she held her mobile phone, and what was written on the screen was the teenager's number, but the button that was connected was not pressed for a long time.

Of course, it wasn't love at first sight, but in Sakai Spring's mind, in addition to the young man, more echoes were the words of the old way.

"40 years old? Half a person? He...... Is it? If he really is, then what will it take to get rid of my fate? Although she is a very indifferent person, even she cannot be indifferent in the face of life and death issues.

It is precisely for this reason that she really wants to call Zhou Xiao, because she really doesn't want to lose the person she finally found.

As for Zhou Xiao, if he knew that although it was only the second time they met, Sister Sakai Quanshui cared so much about herself, even if the real reason had nothing to do with his own charm, he would be very happy in comparison.

"Toot ......" Zhou Xiao tossed for a while, and finally sent a text message tremblingly, but he still didn't have the courage to call directly.

And the hand he held the mobile phone was already sweating in just a few seconds, and his phone was wet, which shows how much courage he used to send this text message.

Sakai Izumi, who had been holding her mobile phone, was startled by the sudden text message, and when she saw the name on the phone, a shallow smile that poured out all beings like the day finally appeared on her face: "Little ghost, even if you have eyes, sister, if I call you when I get home, what's the matter." ”

With a relaxed mood, I looked at it fixedly.
