Chapter 183: It's really not easy to make money
"Gu Che signed someone, is he ready to start a company in the entertainment industry?"
"I haven't become capital yet, do you want to learn from capital to support people?"
"Will Gu Che become a competitor to the company? Do you need to suppress Gu Che? ”
……
After Gu Che sent the message that the studio had signed "Colored Black", some of the company's senior executives also started a discussion.
But it's limited to discussions, and they're not going to mess up and start an emergency meeting just because a star studio has signed a band.
For now, these discussions are limited to what is being talked about in the small talk of the company's top management.
Some of them had channels, and even found Ye Ming here and asked about the plans of Gu Che's studio.
Will you continue to sign people?
Are you going to attack the music field?
Is it time to change from pure singing to making music for external packaging and sales?
As soon as Ye Ming woke up, he found that the WeChat on his mobile phone had exploded, and many people sent several messages to ask.
The only thing that is more fortunate is that these people are not stupid enough to call him and wake him up in his sleep.
Ye Ming secretly muttered in his heart: "Gu Che, this kid is really shrewd, what I didn't expect, he thought of it in advance, and told me in advance about the response policy at that time, did he have already guessed that those companies would be so sensitive?" ”
At this time, Ye Ming didn't realize that it was not Gu Che's reaction to these companies that was sensitive, but that the entertainment company was too sensitive to Gu Che's every move.
Gu Che was just aware of this sensitivity, so he was prepared in advance.
If there is no company to come to Ye Ming to ask, then naturally there is nothing.
But if there is, Ye Ming can also reply as soon as possible, and there is no need to communicate with Gu Che.
After all, Gu Che has been really busy recently.
Cantonese opera alone has involved a lot of his energy, and now he has signed a band.
To communicate with those three young people, Gu Che also had to spend some thought.
Ye Ming began to reply to the people who came to inquire one by one.
Just replied to three articles, and Ye Ming found that the questions asked by these people were all similar.
He simply came up with a few standard replies and sent them out to the crowd who came to ask him.
[Thank you for your concern, Gu Che has no plans to open a company at present, he just admires the band "Color Black" very much, and the two sides have the same concept in music, so they decided to cooperate]
[Will make the first album for "Colored Black" because Gu Che has a few songs that are more suitable, just enough to sing for "Colored Black"]
[Gu Che is currently focusing on music and Cantonese opera, and has no plans to enter the film and television industry to perform, thank you again for your concern]
Ye Ming's group post here is cool, but those who received the news from Ye Ming were dumbfounded.
"Musical ideas are common? What kind of musical philosophy do you say? To tell the truth, their company can also work with Gu Che's music concept to let the company cooperate with Gu Che! ”
"It's good that I don't plan to start my own company, there are many things that only companies can do well, and it is more convenient to do. Gu Che doesn't plan to open a company, and when the time comes, the music will be promoted, and it is not necessary for the company to cooperate. Other people can work together, and they can work with companies, can't they? ”
"How many songs are more suitable, how many songs does Gu Che have? Can he actually come up with a few songs out of the box? Say, how many songs do he have!! If there are so many songs, just look at other people, and the artists under me are urging me to make an appointment with Gu Che! ”
", do film and television companies still plan to invite Gu Che to act, get out of the way! We don't have enough in the music industry ourselves! Gu Che is ours!! ”
Not to mention how many groundless speculations many companies have made because of Ye Ming's mass text messages, let's just say that now Gu Che is here, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to some friends' inquiries on WeChat.
The next day, "Color Black" took the initiative to come to the studio to report and say hello to Gu Che's colleagues.
"These guys are good, they're very well-behaved, let them move things!"
"I used to think that people who were in the band were quite mixed, but I didn't expect it to be such an honest and kind young man!"
"The lead singer's voice is good, and he said that he wants to follow us every day, see if he can learn a few hands, the young man has a good attitude!"
When Gu Che went to work in the company, he heard some colleagues discussing, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
happened to meet Luo Mingli who walked out, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, what band?" ”
Luo Mingli looked at him strangely: "Who else can it be, it can only be your band!" No other band could be let in by the security guards! The security guard saw that it was the band you signed up for, and said that he couldn't find the boss and wanted to come in to find the boss, so he let him in. ”
Gu Che said that his head was big.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and after his debut last night, "Colored Black" did not send any messages.
At that time, Gu Che was thinking about young people, he would be more excited on the day of his debut, and it was not necessary to run to drink too much, and it would be very late to wake up the next day, so he planned to wait for the third and fourth days to talk to them.
Good guys, I didn't expect them to silently hold back a big move and wait for themselves, and go directly to the company to block people!
Gu Che walked to his office, where only one band member was guarding, and the other two went outside to sweetly engage with other Cantonese opera actors.
At least this attitude of climbing relationships, Gu Che felt their sincerity.
Gu Che said: "Gather the other two, I have something to explain." ”
After a while, Zhou Zicong and others appeared in the office.
Gu Che didn't have any experience as an artist, and he didn't plan to develop in this area, so he directly picked out the key points and told them.
"The most important thing for you now is to practice the song well, you still have a lot of shortcomings in singing the song "Colored Black", and you must practice it again. So, I'll ask you a mixer, and he has a good grasp of the song, at least better than you. ”
Zhou Zicong's expression moved: "Then if we sing so that even the mixer is satisfied, can we record the song?" ”
Gu Che glanced at him and said firmly: "Want to record songs and make an album?" ”
Zhou Zicong sneered: "Yes, Brother Che, for this album, we almost didn't sleep all night last night." ”
That's an album!
Zhou Zicong: They grew up baptized by albums when they were children.
Even now, many people know that releasing an electronic album is not as good as releasing a single song, but they are still very excited about the release of the album because of the thought they had when they were young.
If you're a singer, you're going to release an album!
If you don't have an album, how can you be embarrassed to say that you are mixing in the singer circle?
Gu Che smiled and affirmed: "I promised to make an album for you, and I will definitely make it for you." In this way, every time you practice a song in the future, you can go to the recording studio to record it, and when the recording is finished, I will give you the next song. ”
Zhou Zicong said anxiously: "Don't, Brother Che, how troublesome this is, or you just give us all the songs from the album, maybe our efficiency will be higher!" ”
The other two team members also spoke: "Yes, the songs are all for us, and our motivation is enough!" ”
"As long as I think of being able to sing a new song every day, I can't stop it!"
"We're going to go out into the world!"
Gu Che smiled slightly: "Are you thinking about fart?" ”
Zhou Zicong: "......"
Gu Demon King said in a very calm voice: "If you haven't done the previous song well, don't think about knowing the next song, step by step, do you understand?" Besides, I don't have time to write songs, you and I work in the production team! ”
Gu Che didn't mind giving them a little more sense of crisis.
"In addition to your songs, there are many singers who invite me to sing, and there are some singers who are impossible for me to refuse because of their status. If you're slow, there's a good chance that the song that was originally given to you will be given to another singer, so try to be as fast as possible. ”
Zhou Zicong was unhappy: "Why can they snatch our songs, we are the artists of your studio!" ”
Gu Che said expressionlessly: "Just because they give more money, less requirements, and a lot of contract concessions." ”
Zhou Zicong: ......
Defeated, speechless and choked.
Gu Che said: "However, the album promised to you will still be made for you, but what songs you can get sometimes depends on your luck and efficiency." ”
Zhou Zicong: "Then we will rehearse the song "Colored Black" now, where is the singing room!" ”
Gu Che thought for a moment, "No." ”
Zhou Zicong: "Then there is always a soundproof room, right?" ”
Gu Che said sincerely: "No." ”
Zhou Zicong: ......
He couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you usually practice singing?" ”
Gu Che said honestly: "If I have free time, I practice in the Cantonese opera troupe or in the office, and those songs are all written by me, I can understand the feelings expressed in the lyrics, and I feel that I can just go to the recording studio to record the songs." ”
Zhou Zicong felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't detect anything wrong.
It's just weird.
Gu Che thought for a while: "My agent's studio still uses my studio." At present, the studio has no plans to expand its scale, so let's see if you can find another place to rehearse, but no, you can rehearse in the open air, as long as you can increase your understanding and proficiency in the songs. ”
Zhou Zicong asked: "Can't you go to a professional singing room?" ”
Gu Che glanced at him, "If you're willing to pay for it yourself?" ”
Zhou Zicong: ......
What kind of grass platform team studio did he enter!
Gu Che gave them Ye Ming's contact information, and the studio couldn't arrange another agent for them, so they could only ask Ye Ming to help take them.
The only good thing is that Ye Ming, as an agent, is still very reliable.
It's nothing to bring an extra orchestra, he used to bring more than a dozen artists when he was busy, but now there are only a few, no problem at all.
What's more worth mentioning is that the agent's fee is not paid by the colorful black band, and Gu Che is very generous.
The mixer Gu Che found for them was Zhou Fanxian.
When he called, Zhou Fanxian was helping a third-tier star record a song.
At this time, Zhou Fanxian's status in the Xingchen Recording Studio is very different, he has his own exclusive mixing room, and is equipped with several assistants, many things do not need him to do it himself, he just needs to grasp the general direction.
But Zhou Fan first knew that he could get such a status, thanks to Gu Che who asked him to record songs every time, and other mixers couldn't dig Gu Che if they wanted to.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to Gu Che and thinks that Gu Che is the great benefactor who changed his fate.
And he also knew that his usefulness to Gu Che was to help him mix the music when he recorded the song, so Zhou Fanxian didn't dare to neglect his professionalism.
When it comes to helping people record songs, he often does it himself.
Relying on the point of "doing things seriously", Zhou Fanxian gradually became famous in the singer circle.
The blessings that Gu Che brought to him were perfectly inherited and carried forward by him.
A special phone rang, Zhou Fanxian's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly threw down a sentence: "You guys look at it first, I have something to go out." ”
He hurried out of the studio and picked up the phone.
"Brother Che, are you going to record a song, I'm available at any time, on call!"
"What, you don't want to record it yourself, it's the band you signed that wants to record the song?"
"I know, "Colored Black", I watched their group night last night, the song you made for them is so good, I still wonder if there is a chance to record it!"
"Don't record songs, train and train first?" Zhou Fan was stunned first, this statement is fresh.
Often singers can come to record songs, and they have almost the same control over the songs, so that they can easily adjust at any time during recording.
Unless some singers are in a bad state, they will be scolded bloody when recording songs.
But that's also relative to singers.
Zhou Fan first worked as a mass recording engineer for a period of time.
For those singing enthusiasts, because the technique is not very professional, there are many big flaws in the breath, but there will be a lot of adjustments when recording songs, and the mixer also has to make some technical guidance.
Suddenly, Zhou Fanxian's body shook.
Wait, Gu Che asked him to train and train the band, isn't this a sign of trusting his ability?!
You know, these things should be done by the music director!
The music director also has to control the songs?
For a moment, Zhou Fan first thought of Gu Che's studio signing a colorful black band.
Yesterday, he was still envious that Gu Che opened a studio, and it turned out that he could also sign people.
It's a pity that he can appreciate music, but singing is only half a bucket of water, otherwise he would like Mao Sui to recommend himself to see if Gu Che can sign him.
But now, Zhou Fan first thought of another way out.
He doesn't have to go to Gu Che's studio to be a singer!
He, Zhou Fanxian, Gu Che's exclusive mixer.
You can also be the exclusive mixer of Gu Che's studio and record songs for Gu Che's artists.
At the same time, maybe he can also be the music director of Gu Che's studio that has not yet been decided?!
Zhou Fanxian said excitedly on his mobile phone: "Be sure to complete the task, I am free at any time!" ”
Gu Che was a little stunned when he heard Zhou Fanxian's words in his mobile phone.
What's going on, why are you so excited all of a sudden?
Alas, isn't Lao Zhou's recent market bad, and no one is looking for him to record songs, so he was so excited when he came to the door to do a job for him?
Gu Che thought to himself: Lao Zhou's ability is quite good, and he should take care of his business when he has time.
It's not easy for him!
Gu Che comforted him and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, you can prepare, you can come over tomorrow." Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, because the color black doesn't understand the group song well enough, so I don't plan to rent a professional singing studio in the early stage, and it's likely to rehearse and sing outdoors and in the open air, can you accept it? ”
Zhou Fanxian: "No problem at all!" ”
Gu Che: "In terms of remuneration, let's come at the price of your current mixing for one day, and I won't treat you badly." ”
Zhou Fan said anxiously: "No, I really don't need to!" It's just a guide, not really a mix! The price of mixing is so high, and a large part of it requires the use of professional equipment and professional recording studios! Don't give so high! ”
Gu Che: "Ah, how much is appropriate?" ”
Zhou Fan first opened a price at random.
Gu Che was shocked, so cheap?
It's really not easy for Lao Zhou to make money!
He hesitated and said, "I'll give you another two thousand, and you can train them hard for me and teach them to the death." ”
Zhou Fan first wanted to say that there was no need to add money, but he was afraid that it would be too much, so he could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely teach what I have learned all my life!" ”
The two hit it off, and it was decided.
