Chapter Seventy-Five: The Horn from the Rolling Stone (Eight Additions for the Alliance Leader)
A café not far from the square.
As soon as Chen Qiming came in, he saw the person who called him.
Long hair, square face, and a somewhat high nose, looks like Jackie Chan.
This person is none other than Zhou Huajian, who was popular in the Asian Chinese music scene with a song "Let Me Be Happy and Make Me Sad" last year.
The middle-aged man next to him, who was also wearing a peaked cap, Chen Qiming was no stranger, and he had sung his "Story of Time" before.
Yes, this is Rolling Stone Luo Dayou, who has a high status in the treasure island music scene.
To be honest, Chen Qiming didn't expect that these two Rolling Stone generals would actually look for him.
At present, Chen Qiming's record distribution rights are in the hands of UFO.
To a certain extent, he is also a member of the UFO camp.
There are three camps in the Treasure Island music scene.
One is the Rolling Stones, the other is a flying saucer, and the other camp is the owners of other record labels.
Among them, the relationship between the rolling stone and the flying saucer.
How to say it! It's that both sides don't like each other.
The roots of this relationship can be traced back to the founders of the two record labels.
In the early 80s, the Duan brothers founded the first local record label on Treasure Island based on Rolling Stone magazine.
The company has developed rapidly and has recruited a large number of music talents from Baodao.
Among them are the current UFO founders Peng Guohua and Peng Chuchu.
Then, in the mid-80s, Peng Guohua and Peng Chuchu gradually clashed with Rolling Stone's business theory.
In the end, Peng Guohua and Peng Chuchu left Rolling Stone in a fit of anger and founded Flying Saucer.
Well, the name UFO is directly based on the Rolling Stones.
The meaning of the rolling stone is as tenacious as the rolling stone on the earth.
Peng Guohua thought, since you are rolling on the ground, then I will fly on my head, directly higher than you.
Then, UFO records came into being.
The two companies have different business philosophies.
Rolling Stone attaches great importance to creation and strength.
UFO attaches great importance to packaging and strives to create an idol pie.
The collision of two different minds will naturally create a gap.
Rolling Stone can't watch the flying disc records, and thinks that the flying saucer singers are all wine bags and rice bags, except for being handsome, singing or something is simply bullshit.
Flying saucers think that the Rolling Stones are a group of old guys, and it is a waste to interpret a good song for a group of rough guys.
When they don't like each other, the two sides basically don't interact much.
Truth be told, no one can answer the question of who is right about the Rolling Stones or the UFO concept.
You are right when you say Rolling Stone, but you can't deny that the idol singers of UFO are really awesome, and the singers who are pushed out can often quickly become popular all over the country.
And if you say that the flying saucer is right, then you have to admit that the rough men of the Rolling Stones, with their own strength, can also be popular and enduring.
In this kind of situation where both parties are not very sociable, Chen Qiming is really curious about what the other party is looking for him!
He wouldn't believe that the other party would really come to him because he liked his songs.
"It's nice to meet you, I followed you when you first recorded, and I have to say, that album was very interesting.
Of course, your current album is better, I especially like that "Fairy Tale", with that MV, it's really sad to watch. ”
As soon as he sat down, Luo Dayou began to praise Chen Qiming.
"Thank you!" Chen Qiming politely thanked him.
The MV for the fairy tale has been very popular on the MTV channel recently.
Many people have rated it as the most touching MV ever recorded in the Chinese music scene.
Especially the scene of Chen Qiming holding out the heroine in a white dress and stained red with blood from the heroine's house, which made countless fans and the audience cry.
"How are you doing with UFO in Fulong?"
After chatting for a while, Luo Dayou suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming's heart moved.
Originally, he was very puzzled about what Luo Dayou and Zhou Huajian were looking for him.
Hearing this, he suddenly understood.
"It's alright! Sister Ge is very good to me. Chen Qiming said.
"Okay? Not necessarily, as far as I know, your record share is very low, and not only that, but Fulong Brokerage will take 60% of your record share.
On the last record, the total revenue exceeded NT$70 million, and you only got about NT$2.7 million.
Are you happy with this number? ”
Luo Dayou asked with a smile.
The data listed by Luo Dayou Luo made Chen Qiming couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Rolling Stone to know so clearly about his income.
"It's something that everybody needs to go through and I do want to earn more, but I'm new and I don't expect to be treated specially.
After all, I'm not the protagonist of this world! ”
After a little groaning, Chen Qiming said.
Luo Dayou smiled, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and then said directly:
"Come and we're rolling stones! We'll take care of the liquidated damages for you.
As long as you come to our side, you will be the singer who is the priority of our company.
You should know the strength of our company. ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhou Huajian, "Look, just like him, we can all make him popular all over Asia."
If you come here, you will definitely be better than him. ”
Zhou Huajian, who was originally bowing his head next to him, couldn't help but raise his head when he heard Luo Dayou's words, his face turned dark, and he glared at Luo Dayou fiercely, but he didn't speak, and continued to lower his head and count the lines on the table.
Luo Dayou continued.
"In terms of treatment, only you came, 15 tapes, 22 lasers, 30 vinyl.
And we won't have a brokerage company to take your chances. ”
To be honest, hearing Luo Dayou's words, Chen Qiming's first reaction was that Rolling Stone was crazy.
If it's really calculated at this price.
For the last album, for example, he could take away nearly 20 million Taiwan dollars.
That's almost a quarter of the total revenue of the entire record.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Qiming felt that it was very reasonable.
This difference in income is not caused by other reasons, but is all due to the popularity of his current album.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Qiming at this time already has the status of getting top treatment.
has a huge popularity base as the foundation, as long as he is signed, it is basically a sure win.
Since he can make money, Rolling Stone is naturally willing to spend a lot of money and give him a good salary.
"You don't need to think about it, if you are worried that Fulong will make trouble for you, then don't worry, since we Rolling Stone dare to sign you, we naturally have the ability to help you settle this matter."
Luo Dayou's voice sounded in Chen Qiming's ears like a demon's bewitchment, making him want to agree immediately for a moment.
But reason still told him that things would not be so simple.
Let's not say that I have a good relationship with Fulong.
Even if you don't have this feeling, you have to think about it carefully.
Fulong Company can stand tall on the treasure island and become a leading brokerage company, and the ability and background of its representatives are not so simple.
If you're really in a hurry, maybe he'll be lying in the stinky ditch tomorrow.
After all, Treasure Island is not a very safe place.
Recently, even the underworld election has come out......
"I'll think about it!" Chen Qiming stood up and said.
He felt that he still had to think about it.
In addition, he has a contract with Fulong, and there is a clause in the contract that if he reaches a certain level of popularity, then he can ask the company to reformulate the contract.
He wanted to see what kind of contract Fulong could give him.
