"Polygram Group has three subsidiaries, namely Deutsche Grammophone, Philips, Decca Inc., is currently the largest record company in Asia, in addition to the branch in Yueben, there is also a branch called Polydor in Hong Kong and Taiwan, signed a lot of powerful singers, such as Xu Guanjie, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam and others......"

Ryuichi Sakamoto knew that the information of the Chinese people was relatively closed to the outside world, so after a comprehensive introduction to PolyGram's influence abroad, he asked: "Mr. Li, I don't know if you are interested in cooperating with PolyGram?" ”

Li Yange knew that Polygram had a large scale in Hong Kong, but she never expected that there were so many artists who signed the agreement, and there were some superstars in the music industry.

When he heard Ryuichi Sakamoto ask if he was interested, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Sakamoto, of course I'm interested in releasing an album, but I just don't know how to work together?" ”

Sakamoto Ryuyi: "How to cooperate specifically, this is the matter between you and Polygram Mr. Li, but I will send a telegram to Yuben later, and I want to come to Polygram Records, and I will arrange someone to come and talk to you in detail." ”

Hearing this, Li Yange nodded, and then smiled: "Then trouble you, Mr. Sakamoto, if it weren't for you, I don't think I would have had a chance to release an album." ”

"Mr. Li, you are too polite, this is not my credit, it is your work that impressed the music director of Polygram, which made them take the initiative to find me, hoping to seek cooperation with you." Ryuichi Sakamoto shook his head and said.

"Anyway, if it weren't for Mr. Sakamoto's recommendation, I don't think I would have had that chance."

Li Yange said this, hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "By the way, Mr. Sakamoto, I don't know anything about the release of the album, I don't know if you can tell me in detail?" ”

"Absolutely."

Sakamoto Ryu glanced at the camera working there, and saw that the director and others were focused on Zunlong, and he also found a no-man's place with Li Yange to sit down, and began to chat about some details about the release of the album.

The main thing to talk about is the signing of the contract.

At present, the more popular way to sign a contract is to sign a full contract, including a brokerage contract and a record contract, and sign it with a company, and then the company will be responsible for all the singer's performing arts brokerage activities, including record releases, commercial performances, advertisements and other activities.

This kind of signing method is guaranteed for newcomers, because in the process of signing the contract, the record company will state in the contract the number of albums released by the contracted singer, the promotion plan, the appropriate resource dumping, etc.

As for the second type, it is a semi-covenant, that is, a record covenant.

As the name suggests, it is to sign a contract with the artist to release a record, which is a relatively flexible and highly free way of cooperation.

This kind of semi-appointment is generally chosen by those top singers, because there are many fans of top singers, and there are countless activities such as commercial performances and advertising endorsements, so there is no worry about whether there are resources at all.

After introducing the different contract methods, Sakamoto Ryukachi: "Mr. Li, I personally recommend that you sign a full contract, so that you have resources to release the album, and the company will invest in the promotion of your record tendency." ”

"I'll think about it." Li Yange did not agree directly, but politely rejected Ryuichi Sakamoto's proposal on the grounds of consideration.

If it is an ordinary person, it must be good to sign a full contract, but Li Yange doesn't think so, because once the full contract is signed, then within the term of the contract, all the songs he writes must cooperate with Polygram.

For Li Yange, who has decades of memories in later generations, this kind of cooperation is purely to send money to Polygram!

Ordinary composers or singers may have a window period, which is commonly known as the trough of creation, but as long as Li Yange works steadily, there will be no so-called window period in the next 20 years.

And if you sign the full contract, many things have to be done according to the company's arrangement, which is even more difficult to accept for Li Yange, who is reborn and wants to live a chic life.

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tianqiao Theater near Qianmen Street.

Chen Shuya and Jiang Wenwen beside him muttered in a low voice: "This is the Tianqiao Theater? How does it look broken? ”

"I don't know, I've never been here. But it does look quite shabby. ”

Jiang Wenwen shook her head, she is also a freshman, she has only been in Beijing for a few months, except for running around the school, she has never been to Qianmen Street at all, so naturally she has never seen what the Tianqiao Theater is like.

Looking at the architectural style that has not been renovated and has a sense of age, Li Yange sighed: "You two don't look at this ruin, but this is the first theater after the founding of New China, and countless celebrities have performed here." ”

The construction of Tianqiao Theater in 1953 was one of the earliest theaters approved for construction in China at that time, and it was also the first theater to be built.

But now more than 30 years later, with the reform and opening up, the changes in the capital are increasing day by day, and this Tianqiao theater has lagged behind more than one era in terms of both internal decoration and exterior construction.

In the eyes of Chen Shuya and Jiang Wenwen, it naturally looks dilapidated, not as good as the Beijing Concert Hall, which was just completed on North Xinhua Street this year.

"Now is not the time to talk about whether it looks good or not, whether you can be selected this time depends on whether everyone works hard enough."

Liu Fangfang, as the captain of the 12th Women's Orchestra, stood at the door of the theater at the moment, her inner excitement was indescribable, she understood how famous the "Tianqiao Theater" was than Chen Shuya and others.

Not long after the completion of the Tianqiao Theater, Premier Zhou personally visited and enjoyed the performance of "Red Detachment of Women" by the National Ballet of China, and applauded on the spot, and said that this was the first time in his life that he had seen a ballet performance with a knife and gun in his hand.

Since then, the Tianqiao Theater has become a sacred place in the hearts of countless orchestras and artists.

Even if the "Beijing Concert Hall", which has just been completed this year, is far better than the Tianqiao Theater in terms of equipment and venue, but in the eyes of the older generation of Beijing people, the Tianqiao Theater is the best.

Although Liu Fangfang is not from Beijing, when she went to school, the whole school was discussing that the senior brother and sister went to the "Tianqiao Theater" to perform.

When the 12th Women's Orchestra, under the leadership of Li Yange, walked towards the gate of the Tianqiao Theater, the passers-by on the side of the road saw this scene and looked sideways, wondering which performance team could come to the Tianqiao Theater to perform.

(I'm sorry everyone, but I remembered the Plaza Agreement in the previous chapter, and I didn't search for information on the Internet, but I still remembered it when I wrote about the restaurant giant before, and it's been several years, and now it's all deleted.) ）
