Chapter 522: Courtesy
It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in his forties, with a straight suit and meticulously combed hair, to walk quickly in front of Miyu.
Qian Shimu stretched out his hands to hold Ji Yu's hand and shook it vigorously, and said apologetically: "Teacher Ji Yu, you are here, and you didn't tell me in advance, you really caught me off guard and neglected you, I'm really sorry." ”
Obviously, Qian Shimu's respectful attitude, Ji Yu was very useful, and shook his head with a smile, "I came uninvited, it is Mr. Qian who should be blamed, Mr. Qian, you have every opportunity, and I am already very grateful if you can take the time to meet me, an idle person, and don't mention it again after the word slack." ”
It is said that Qian Shimu is the chairman of Taihe Music Culture Development Company, and Taihe Music Culture Development Company is one of the top ten record companies in China, Qian Shimu should not be so respectful to Ji Yu.
But neither Qian Shimu nor Ji Yu, nor even Guo Wen, nor the assistant to the president, did not think that there was anything wrong with the conversation between Qian Shimu or Ji Yu.
Because Ji Yu, as the top lyricist in China, deserves such a courtesy.
I don't know how many popular singers have become popular by relying on Mitama's songs, and I don't know how many record companies have made countless fortunes from Mitama's songs.
It can even be said that Ji Yu is not only old in the circle, but also represents the money of Chiguoguo, after all, with good songs, singers can have the possibility of becoming popular, or they can continue to be popular.
Therefore, Miyu deserves such a courtesy.
The two laughed a few more words, and Qian Shimu invited Ji Yu to sit on the sofa next to him.
"Teacher Jiyu, what advice do you have for coming to the door today?" asked Qian Shimu.
Ji Yu smiled and waved his hand, "I don't dare to give advice, but I do want to ask Mr. Qian for help." ”
Qian Shimu was not the slightest surprise in this regard, patted his chest, and said directly: "Teacher Jiyu, please say, but if I can help, I have nothing to say." ”
"I have a friend who wants to come up with an album, so I wanted to ask Mr. Qian for help. Mitama said.
"Out of an album?"
Qian Shimu is a little strange, he has been in the record industry for so many years, and he has never seen someone who wants to say the album directly.
He originally thought that Miyu just wanted to recommend someone and sign a contract with their company.
This is something that often happens, although the record company has its own inherent process for signing singers, but after all, there are always some people's face, which he can't erase, and obviously Mitama is such an existence.
Besides, this time I helped Ji Yu, then next time, if the company asks Ji Yu to make an appointment, then Ji Yu is not very easy to refuse, which is naturally a good thing for Taihe Company, after all, Ji Yu's song represents a classic, represents a new singer who is about to become popular, and also represents that the life of an old singer can be extended again.
Of course, it also means that the company will get a lot of profits.
This is a good thing for both parties.
And generally speaking, as long as the conditions are not too bad, he will sign a contract, as for receiving songs and releasing albums, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in one or two years.
New singers often need to go through a lot of training from record companies, although it is not as miserable as the trainees in South Korea, but the intensity and professionalism are definitely not low.
Slowly, let some popular singers of the company help bring it, for example, when it is a concert, sing a song together, and even invite them as guests, which is okay.
After having a certain degree of popularity, the company can consider accepting songs, but at this time, it will not release an album, but release a single first, test the water, and hit the charts.
Of course, it is also to increase the popularity of the singer.
After all, if the company spends a lot of effort to collect songs, package singers, and pay a lot of publicity expenses, the sales of records are extremely miserable, and this kind of loss is unacceptable.
Therefore, Ji Yu really hasn't seen this kind of thing as soon as he comes up and asks for an album.
As soon as he had an idea, Qian Shimu said with a smile: "Teacher Jiyu, let's do it, you bring the singer over for me to see, if it meets the conditions of our company, I will sign a contract with him immediately, and then train him in the company, and I will arrange for him to release an album as soon as possible." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ji Yu suddenly knew that Qian Shimu had misunderstood, smiled, and then said: "Mr. Qian, you misunderstood, the album or something, it has been basically produced, I came this time, just to ask Mr. Qian to do you a favor, use Taihe's publicity and distribution channels, as for the specific cost, we can discuss it again." ”
Qian Shimu paused for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Teacher Jiyu, you mean, the album has already been made?"
Mitama nodded.
Qian Shimu smiled a little unnaturally, he originally thought that Ji Yu would help him a lot, and this is the co-author, he originally thought that Ji Yu had a lot of things to ask for himself.
This is good, although the matter is not big, which means that he does not have to be too troublesome, but it also means that Ji Yu may not receive too much favor from himself, and the matter of asking for a song may not be as simple as he imagined.
But the villain is also a favor, maybe, Ji Yu remembers his help this time.
Qian Shimu sorted out his mood, and then said with a smile: "What else should I do, this little thing, next time Teacher Ji Yu, you just call over, you don't have to run like this again." ”
Indeed, just borrowing distribution and publicity channels is really not a difficult task for him.
After all, every year, Taihe Company has to release as few as one or twenty albums, as many as twenty or thirty albums, on average, there must be two albums a month, and one more album is nothing.
The rest is nothing more than the issue of cost, not to mention that Ji Yu is already ready to talk to him about the cost.
It's just that Jiyu doesn't talk about it, it's nothing more than a huge loss of 120,000 yuan in issuance costs, and the right is to sell Jiyu's face.
When the time comes, Ji Yu will naturally come up with one or two good songs from him that he pressed the bottom of the box.
For these two good songs, just one or two hundred thousand is really nothing.
After all, with these two songs, it means that Taihe Company can make another newcomer popular, although the record is not very profitable in these years, but after the singer is popular, he will make money by holding concerts and doing commercial performances.
A popular singer, the price of a commercial performance is also worth 200,000.
Therefore, he doesn't care at all about losing one or two hundred thousand.
Even, he felt that it didn't hurt to lose more, after all, in this way, his face would be more valuable in front of Ji Yu, and these were all equal.
"I'm afraid there is a lot of your hard work in this album, I really envy this singer, he can get your help before he debuts, with your songs, I'm afraid it's hard for him not to be popular. ”
Qian Shimu said half jokingly, half enviously.
In the past, people from their company didn't go to Mitama to ask for songs, but there weren't many good songs.
And this time, Ji Yu came to visit in person, to say that there is no song of Ji Yu in this album, he doesn't believe it, and maybe, there is more than one song, which is really jealous.
He has even thought about it, if the person recommended by Ji Yu is not too bad in terms of appearance and singing skills, he has the heart to sign him into his company.
Maybe, it can really be an instant hit, after all, Mitama's song represents a fire!
But who knows, Ji Yu actually shook his head, "If there is hard work, then there are really some songs in this album, but my song, I'm afraid there is no one." ”
Qian Shimu's brows furrowed slightly, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
The progress of this matter seems to be different from what he imagined, there is no song of Ji Yu, so how can Ji Yu help him make an album, is it because the relationship is not as good as he imagined? Or is it because Ji Yu is reluctant to let go of his own songs?
Whatever the reason is, it's not good news for him.
It all means that the possibility of him taking the song from Ji Yu has decreased a lot.
"I would have liked to add my songs to this album and maybe bring back some more fame, but alas, I didn't have songs worthy of this album. Ji Yu shook his head with some embarrassment.
He did have a mind to add one of his songs to this album.
After all, this album is all the title songs, and it can be said that there is no one before or since.
And Xia Yun's singing, as well as the guidance and planning of him, Guo Wen, and Zhou Fatzi, can be described as dedicated, although it is not flawless and seamless, but there is no doubt that the singing level of any song in this song is the highest level in recent years.
Not to mention, this time, it's still ten songs gathered in one album.
He himself can't imagine what this album will be like once it comes out, reaching two platinums, three platinums, and even hitting the highest-selling records, and if there is one of his songs in it, this is undoubtedly a very face-saving thing.
It's just a pity that he flipped through all the songs he left behind, including the recent period, meditating, trying his best, boiling the lamp and lighting wax to write the songs, all of which are not worthy of this album.
Therefore, he can only accept his fate, but he does not have this blessing.
Qian Shimu was suddenly petrified, and looked at Ji Yu dumbfounded, he really couldn't imagine that no song worthy of this album could actually come out of Ji Yu's mouth.
Is this still the most famous, the most qualified, and the most popular lyricist in China?
You must know that an album has as few as eight songs and as many as fourteen or fifteen songs, of which except for one or two title songs, the rest of the songs are just made up.
But Ji Yu actually said that his songs can't even compare to the songs in this album, is this the sun coming out of the west?
If it weren't for the fact that Ji Yu's appearance didn't look like he was lying and joking, he really thought that what Ji Yu said was false.
Generally speaking, Mitama's songs, whether good or bad, are the treatment of the title song, nothing more than the better is the title song of a popular singer, and the almost one is the title song of a singer who has just debuted.
After all, for singers who have just debuted, it is undoubtedly a thing that can increase popularity and sales if there is a song written by Mitama on their album, as for the quality of the lyrics, it doesn't matter, even if it is bad, it is written by Mitama.
"Teacher Jiyu, I want to ask, who wrote the songs on this album?Gu Feiyu, Teacher Gu?" Qian Shimu asked tentatively.
He said that Gu Feiyu is another lyricist in the industry who is almost as famous as Ji Yu.
Ji Yu smiled and waved his hand, "If it is said that the songs of this album are written by Gu Feiyu, although my songs are average, it is not enough to say that I can't even make up the numbers." ”
Although Ji Yu's words are modest, if you listen carefully, you can hear a faint arrogance.
Indeed, Gu Feiyu is just a lyricist with the same name as him, no matter how unbearable his songs are, it is not enough to say that he can't even make up the numbers.
Qian Shimu just wanted to continue asking, but Ji Yu said directly: "Mr. Qian, don't ask, the lyricist of this album is a friend of mine, his talent is extremely high, it can be said that he is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life, but he didn't plan to go deep into the lyrics, so I can only ask Mr. Qian Haihan." ”
does not reveal who the lyricist is, this is also Chu Hao's own meaning.
Chu Hao felt that he was already so famous, if the album became an instant hit, it would be known by the time came, and the author of the lyrics and tunes was also his words, he was really afraid that someone would tie him up and study it.
Therefore, it is better to be low-key.
Moreover, he had already asked Li Lingsu, although he used a stage name to compose lyrics and music, but the prestige that should be given to him would be given a lot.
So, what other reason does he have to expose his existence.
"Well, I don't know, Mr. Midama do you have an album that has already been made, I want to listen to it first, if it's okay, then I promise, send the album out as soon as possible. ”
Although I don't really believe what Ji Yu said, but Ji Yu said so, then he has the right to take it as a fact.
And Guo Wen on the side hurriedly handed the CD that had been made in the bag to the assistant president on the side.
Taihe Music Culture Group, as one of the top ten record companies in China, naturally has all kinds of audio equipment, and even this reception room has installed a set of audio equipment that is now the top in the world.
The assistant to the president puts the disc into the DVD player.
As the music sounded, Qian Shimu's originally casual complexion changed in an instant, and he felt that the arrangement seemed to be very good, as if he already had some level of title song.
As the chairman of a large record company like Taihe Group, his appreciation ability is undoubtedly top-notch, and what song can become popular, he can have a premonition just by listening to a prelude.
And there is no doubt that this song gives him such a feeling that he can become popular.
As the prelude ended, a crisp and pleasant, sincere singing voice emerged from the speakers.
"You love coffee, low-key feel. ”
"I prefer music from the collection, which is very strange. ”
"You are special, every little detail. ”
"Oops, yes, that's right. ”
