Chapter 60: Gone shit luck
A hoarse, low baritone echoes through the air
"I forgot how it started
Maybe it's just a feeling for you
Suddenly, I found myself
It's really simple to fall in love with you
……”
Zhou Xun twisted around in the chair with the beat accompanied by alcohol. The singer on the stage looked at the situation in the corner, smiled and waved his hand here, and was so drunk that Zhou Xun also waved in response, it seems that the two should be quite familiar.
Chen Bo tugged at the corner of Zhou Xun's clothes and said, "Look at the movements on his feet, it doesn't look like he's stepping on cockroaches." Zhou Xun squinted his eyes and saw the singer on the stage, with his right leg stretched forward and slightly bowed and tiptoe on tiptoe on the floor, like stepping on a cockroach or stepping on a cigarette butt.
"Hahaha, it's really like, your eyes are quite pointy." Zhou Xun laughed without any scruples about his personal image.
When the climax of the chorus was sung, Chen Bo said again, "Look, his body trembled slightly, is it like touching the electric door." Zhou Xun was already holding his stomach with a smile.
After singing the song and the singer left the scene, Zhou Xun quickly stood up and waved at him, and the man strode over when he saw this. "You're a big star now, why did you come here so blatantly."
walked to the table, saw Chen Bo next to him again, and said with a smile, "Yo, new boyfriend!" ”
Zhou Xun spat and said, "Phew, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." Let me introduce you, my friend, Chen Bo. He turned his head to Chen Bo and said, "This is the future great musician, Yang Kun." ”
The two gentlemen shook hands, sat down at the table, opened the lid of the wine bottle and chatted while drinking. Zhou Xun told Chen Bo the allusion to the mold electric door and the cockroach just now, and Yang Kun didn't mind at all, but found it very interesting.
"By the way, why didn't you sing that song you wrote yourself?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.
"Ahem, that's not the first two years of shyness, and then sold, people have the copyright in hand, don't let us sing." Yang Kun looked lonely, and took another sip of beer.
"What song?" Chen Bo interjected.
"It doesn't matter, Brother Kun wrote the lyrics and composed the music by himself. Awesome! Zhou Xun replied.
Doesn't matter? Isn't this Yang Kun's famous song, why did he sell it. Zhou Xun saw that he was more puzzled, so he told the story in it, and Yang Kun didn't feel that there was anything unpleasant, so he didn't stop it.
It turned out that Yang Kun had been leaving his hometown since the mid-90s and started his life in Yanjing to drift north, and not only could he sing, but he often wrote songs in the basement by himself. It doesn't matter if I got the inspiration in the bathroom. But the days are still hard, the demo sample was rejected by the record company, and it was not easy to live without the next meal, so he simply sold the song, but the other party's conditions were very harsh, that is, Yang Kun could not sing this song again in the future.
Dare to love that there are still these stories in this, Chen Bo originally thought that Yang Kun only made his official debut after being stationed in a nightclub and then discovered by the record company, but he didn't expect that there would be this bitter past. And his voice was not like this before, and he didn't pay attention to rest after an operation on vocal cord nodules, which eventually caused his voice to become hoarse. At first, I wanted to die, but I persevered. This story happened around me, and it was much more touching than the story conferences in those talent shows in the future.
"How much did that song sell for at the time?"
"Two or three thousand dollars, don't talk about that. Drink, drink! ”
The servant touched the bottle and killed a bottle of wine, Yang Kun is from the Inner Mongolia grassland, and the amount of wine is not inferior to the two.
Chen Bo asked again: "Has Brother Kun signed a record company now?" ”
Yang Kun hugged the wine bottle and sighed, "No, people don't look down on us, and the samples have been returned." There is a record company that has some interest, but it has not yet started formal contact. ”
"Little neck, don't you have a cooperative relationship with a record company, it shouldn't be difficult for you to help." At this time, Zhou Xun said.
Yang Kun's eyes lit up at this time, but it was also a matter of an instant, seeing that Chen Bo was so young and not as old as him, he felt unreliable and didn't take it to heart.
It's not impossible to say that it's impossible to sign a record. Sky.com only has a two-year electronic music licensing contract, and after making a certain name from Sky.com, the three major portals have been eyeing this piece of fat to start first, so what about the future? There will definitely be more sites that want to share this cake.
After the license contract expires, the record company will definitely not give you an exclusive one, and the one with the highest price will get it, and it will not be sold to just one. Then what will you use to fight with others when the time comes? Chen Bo registered a Galaxy Entertainment on Hong Kong Island alone, not just to facilitate the acquisition of Alpha Records. At the same time, he plans to be an independent label in the future, and only by controlling the upstream of the industry can he maximize profits.
Moreover, music creation is a unique product, which is different from the industrialized assembly line mass production according to the mold, only exclusive, no semicolon.
The focus of Alpha Records after the record is still on Taiwan Island, and the water on Hong Kong Island is too deep, so it is not easy to do. Moreover, the future music market is dominated by Chinese music, and Cantonese will eventually decline, which is the general trend of the market.
In the future, singers who can only sing will be gradually eliminated, and original singers will become more and more popular, Yang Kun, who is good at singing and writing, is a good choice, although he has never sat on the throne of the first brother in the mainland music scene, but his attitude and talent towards music are beyond doubt, so if Yang Kun can be signed, it will definitely be earned.
"If Brother Kun trusts his brother, you can sign into my company, and I will be responsible for helping you talk about records, make MVs, and release albums."
"You?" If he was Zhou Xun's friend, and he still had a serious expression, Yang Kun would definitely think that he was a liar out of nowhere, "You're not kidding me, brother." ”
"Aren't you a network company? How do you still make music packaging? Zhou Xun also wondered, and she didn't understand, could the Internet company do anything.
"Maybe you are mistaken, I personally registered a Galaxy Entertainment company on Hong Kong Island, and I have now acquired Alpha Records on Taiwan Island, and there are also several singers under it, and the album will be released next month. Now I also want to register a subsidiary in Yanjing, Brother Kun is a talented musician, I don't want to see this piece of gold buried, and at the same time, I hope that Brother Kun can start the first shot of Galaxy Entertainment. ”
After Chen Bo said this, the two of them finally understood, but they still didn't believe it and hesitated, and the company Galaxy Entertainment had never heard of it.
"I can assure you that I will buy you the copyright of your song or give it to you to sing, and strive to release a single before the year and release the album next year. The record company is yours, but I'm sure to pick one that can help you. ”
"No, what the hell do you do, buddy, how can I be like a dream." Yang Kun's head was still a little confused.
"Brother Kun, if you go online, you'll know. Do you know the Pepsi Cola Chinese Music Billboard? It was planned by him, and the network rights of all record companies are also in the hands of his Sky.com. And the music infringement case that has made a lot of noise in the past two days is also because of him. And if I hadn't seen the report today, I wouldn't have known this kid had done so much. Zhou Xun slapped Chen Bo on the shoulder and said, "Little neck, you said you have something to hide from me!" ”
Chen Bo shrunk his neck and said, "How dare I hide it from you, you are my brother, my own brother!" He said to Yang Kun seriously, "But Brother Kun, I am optimistic about your music, and I also appreciate your attitude towards music." If we can work together, I hope you can wholeheartedly make better music and speak with results. Although the Huaxia Music Billboard is a pop music chart jointly produced by Sky.com and Guangguang Media, I will not open any backdoor for you, and only those who are recognized by the public and have powerful players can climb the list. Moreover, I believe that it is not difficult with your strength. ”
"Well," Yang Kun nodded, "Brother is right, I don't have the face to do it when I am on the list by relationship." As a musician, you still have to rely on your grades to speak. ”
"Brother Kun, let's settle it, you leave me a contact information, I will prepare the brokerage contract in the next two days and ask you to sign it." It will definitely be much more generous than the treatment given to you by other companies, and it will not give you too many restrictions. ”
The two exchanged numbers on the spot, and Chen Bo picked up a treasure for no reason. Galaxy Entertainment, a leather bag company that has nothing to do, is about to usher in its first signed singer, which can be regarded as shit luck.
However, if Galaxy Entertainment wants to mix in Yanjing, it also has to rely on experienced management talents, and it still has to find Lao Wang in this matter. See if he has this intention, there are not many professional brokers on the market now. Now cultivating an agent, Chen Bo doesn't have that time, not to mention that he doesn't understand the Taoists in the market. After all, Lao Wang is an old Jianghu, and everything in the circle is clear.
The servants chatted happily, and the wine went down quickly. After a while, there was a pile of empty wine bottles on the table, and I really wondered if it was mixed with water. Chen Bo only felt that the more he drank, the more sober he became, and he didn't feel drunk at all.
Seeing that the time is almost up, Zhou Xun will go to the crew to film tomorrow, and Yang Kun will continue to go to the next place to catch up, and people still have to eat if they are alive. So the scene ended, and Chen Bo sent Zhou Xun back to the crew's hotel first and then back to the hotel where he lived.
Walking through the bright lobby of the hotel, Chen Bo suddenly saw a familiar back in front of the bar, as if it was Li Zhaojun, who he hadn't seen for a long time, so he went around to the side to take a special look, it was really her.
"Sister Jun, why did you come to Yanjing?" Chen Bo was pleasantly surprised.
"I just came back from the United States, Isabella, call my uncle quickly."
Li Zhaojun said to the little girl standing next to her, Chen Bo's eyes only then noticed a little girl next to her, with a pink down jacket wrapped around her body, a colorful cotton hat on her head, white and tender skin with baby fat, and a Barbie doll in her arms.
With his little face up, he timidly said, "Uncle..."
