He Zhengyang, a man who looks thirty or forty years old, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and wears a suit and leather shoes.

If you just look at his dress, you think he is a white-collar elite of which company.

However, his long hair with a free and easy shawl directly added an artistic atmosphere to him.

After signing the contract, he stretched out his hand and smiled gently at Chen Shuo: "Hello, Chen Shuo, let's get to know you officially."

He Zhengyang, the manager of Jingwen Records, is also a music producer.

Thank you for your continued care. ”

Chen Shuo bowed slightly and held his hand, and said, "Brother He, please take care of me in the future." ”

When He Zhengyang saw it, his smile was a little more sincere, "If there is anything in the future, you can tell me directly, and I will help you solve it." ”

The two chatted for a while, and after officially getting acquainted, Chen Shuo bid farewell to Shan Xiaolou and others, and followed He Zhengyang around the company.

"Our company was founded in 94 years with the purpose of promoting cultural undertakings.

It is committed to the production and promotion of original music from the mainland, and at the same time introduces excellent overseas music products.

In 2000, our company obtained the VCD distribution rights of Universal Pictures in the United States.

And with Warner, EMI and other world-famous record groups, signed a series of product distribution cooperation agreements in Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At the same time, we also established Horn Records in 99, and have released more than 200 original rock songs so far, which is the largest original rock creation base in China.

Last year, Crystal Records was established, focusing on domestic original pop music.

also acted as an agent for Han Hong's record and performing arts agents, and began to cultivate new artists.

Now it has singers such as Han Hong, Cui Jian, Xue Cun, Chen Zhendong, Lu Yichun, and bands such as Zero, Compass, New Generation, and Tang Dynasty.

……”

He Zhengyang took Chen Shuo from the door and introduced the company's situation to him one by one.

The office location of Jingwen Records is much larger than that of Zhouyi Film and Television, and it occupies several floors in total.

In addition to the normal office area, there are also practice rooms, recording studios, etc., which are specially used for the singers to create, practice, and rest.

At the same time, Chen Shuo also knew why his signing had been delayed for so long.

It's not just the reason why I didn't discuss it with Zhou Yi Film and Television.

It is also because Jingwen Records dissolved its relationship with Sunshine Culture within this month and returned to the road of independent and independent entrepreneurship.

At the same time, the company is also actively preparing Liu Huan's new album at this time, intending to take advantage of this to start the first shot for Jingwen's return to independence.

After that, He Zhengyang took him to his office to have a look.

Although he is now a rookie singer, he is now famous, and the company will naturally not be stingy to prepare an office for him.

is different in Zhouyi Film and Television, the company has a thin foundation and a small place, and he and Yang Junyi, Yu Bo, and Zhang Jin are crammed into one room.

However, it is also convenient for the four of them to chat and talk.

After introducing this small office of only a few square meters, He Zhengyang poured two glasses of water and invited Chen Shuo to sit down.

said: "Since you have officially signed a contract with our company today.

It's time to start working on your album.

Have you written a new song during this time? ”

"No, I was busy with classes and studies during this time, so I didn't have any extra time." Chen Shuo shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, there are also a lot of spare impulse songs in the company's music library.

When the time comes, it's really not enough, just choose a few songs with a similar style.

But I guess since you have the ability to write songs, don't waste it.

If you can find time, try to write as many songs as possible.

In this way, the interest of your album can also be higher, and when the time comes, you will share more.

After all, the company's songs have to collect money, and at least you don't have to pay copyright fees to the company for your own songs.

Even if the writing style is not suitable, it doesn't matter, whether it is a replacement with the company or a company to act as an agent, it is a good income.

And you can also exercise your ability to write songs. ”

"Okay, Brother He, I see. If I have time, I'll try to write a few songs. ”

"Okay, next, you take the time to come to the company for training.

The main thing is that there is still a difference between a singer and an actor.

Again, the vocal lessons you learn in school are just the basics, and the training on our side is more targeted.

Then I will also apply to the company for a production team, and then I will start to officially help you make this first album.

When the time comes, I'll make a production schedule.

Some specific links, if you have any ideas, you can also put forward.

For example, the name of the album, the script of the MV, the shooting of the cover, etc.

These should be familiar to you. ”

"Okay, Brother Lao He bothered." Chen Shuo saw that he considered everything, and he was very professional, and he thought about himself wholeheartedly, so he naturally had no opinions.

The role of the record company is to help singers develop their creations.

Help create, raise awareness, create the album that the singers want and release it.

A qualified record company must have strong publicity and distribution channels.

Nowadays, piracy is rampant, and even if you are popular, the people of the whole country know it.

You can't sell the genuine version, and you still can't make a penny.

However, record companies can take advantage of their strong publicity channels to seize the market in advance before piracy comes out.

Push the album in front of the people you like in a short time.

Once an album is released, the bonus period is only three months.

After three months, it generally doesn't sell anymore, even if it's pirated.

Of the three, the first month is the most crucial.

How to sell as many albums as possible in this month is the test of a record company's strength.

After a month, there are basically pirated copies all over the country, and even if the bonus period has not passed, it is already difficult to create more profits.

Of course, the average newcomer will be more preferential, after all, piracy also has to make money, and it is impossible for everyone to do it.

In the face of newcomers who release albums, no one knows which one can be popular, and only when it is popular can it be done.

It's just that piracy also takes time, so there is relatively more time left for newcomers.

After discussing for a while, I saw that the time was already in the afternoon.

After Chen Shuo invited He Zhengyang to a meal, he took the bus back to school.

The address of Jingwen Records is in the front street of Tianning Temple in XC District, not far from the Beiying Campus, only about ten kilometers.

The next day, Sunday, he rode a bicycle directly to the company and followed He Zhengyang for a day of training.

A day of learning also opened up Chen Shuo's singing skills.

make up for some of the original deficiencies and make him a more qualified singer.

In the evening, after Chen Shuo returned to school, he went straight to the Four Seasons Hall.

Liu Yifei, who was waiting there, saw him and beckoned to him.

Unlike Chen Shuo, after a week of study, he still needs to go to the company to prepare a new script.

Every Friday after class, Liu Xiaoli would come to pick Liu Yifei back and let her rest at home for two days.

After you have recuperated your spirits, you will go back to school for evening self-study on Sunday evening.

Although it is said to be evening self-study, the teacher does not stipulate that you must stay in the classroom.

Fitness rooms, classrooms, libraries, anywhere.

As a college student, no one will strictly follow the rules and regulations, even if you don't go to class, it doesn't matter.
