Chapter 179: Record Company Tsundere Sister
More than half an hour later, at about 11:45, Chen Wen arrived at the music station and called Tang Jin down through the internal phone.
The two walked side by side and spent 20 minutes finding an apartment house without a signboard.
After entering the door, Chen Wen knew that this was a private restaurant.
Chen Wen always thought that this kind of private restaurant only appeared in Shanghai at the beginning of the 21st century, and now he understands that his memory has been misled by the film "Snail House", which has been in existence since the early 90s.
Today, Tang Jin brought Chen Wenlai to this private restaurant, located on the 9th floor of an apartment building, with two units opened, including 7 private rooms.
Tang Jin's best friend has arrived first, and she is a very beautiful and temperamental urban beauty.
Tang Jin introduced: "Yingxue, this is Chen Wen, the author of "The Bund". Chen Wen, this is what I mentioned to you, my best friend, Situ Yingxue. ”
Chen Wen greeted Situ Yingxue, Chen Wen took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with the other party, Situ Yingxue's handshake made Chen Wen a little unhappy.
This woman stretched out her hand gently, her palm was still straight when she shook hands, and there was no contraction at all, the effect of this handshake was that only Chen Wen's palm was contracted, and Situ Yingxue's palm did not move, looking very arrogant!
Tang Jin, as Situ Yingxue's best friend, of course knew many of the habits and characteristics of this tsundere girl, so after the two shook hands, Tang Jin smiled apologetically at Chen Wen.
Chen Wen also smiled at Tang Jin.
---------------------------------
After mutual investigation and investigation, Chen Wen learned the basic situation of Situ Yingxue, 25 years old, a native of Shanghai, a former female editor of a fashion magazine, and now a staff member of Warner Records' Shanghai market, unmarried.
According to this woman's self-evaluation, she is not currently called "single", but "window period".
Chen Wen thought to himself, how appropriate it is to change the word window to the word bed, everyone is an old fox, no one should sing and chat with anyone!
To tell the truth, Chen Wen thinks that the dishes of this private dish are still very good, with exquisite materials, exquisite workmanship and exquisite taste!
However, this Situ Yingxue is really not very likeable.
For the song "The Bund", Situ Yingxue thinks that the song is not badly written, and the lyrics mention the landmarks of Shanghai, which has regional characteristics, but the regional characteristics are too strong, which is not conducive to the acceptance of fans across the country.
Chen Wen said cautiously, next time I write a song, I will definitely write all the landmarks of more than 30 provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, and never disappoint the ardent expectations of the people of the whole country!
Tang Jin asked Chen Wen if it was possible for Chen Wen's song to be bought by the record company?
Situ Yingxue said with a smile, the Tao in this is very deep and complicated!
Tang Jing asked her girlfriend to explain in detail.
Situ Yingxue patiently said it in detail, although her attitude was arrogant, but Chen Wen also had a comprehensive understanding of how the record company and the artist cooperated through her words.
Many people think that as long as an artist signs a contract with a record company, he can make money, he can sell tapes and CDs, and he can hold concerts, but this understanding is wrong. When Chen Wen put forward this point of view, he was sarcastically ridiculed by Situ Yingxue as "shallow".
Generally speaking, an artist will sign with two companies, one for a record and the other for an agency. The former is often accompanied by a copyright treaty, while the latter is accompanied by an employment contract.
These contracts and contracts were too complicated, Situ Yingxue said a lot of terms, and Chen Wen didn't remember any of them.
It's easy to understand the complexity of this relationship.
If an artist has a new song, regardless of whether it is his own original song or bought it from someone else, and he wants to record the song and make a record, then go to a contracted record company, and the record company will provide a one-stop service, including the production, supply and marketing of records, tapes, and CDs.
If the artist wants to hold a concert, or participate in a show, or participate in a show with other artists, or make movies and TV series, find a contracted agency. More examples are the agency Zhang Luo to these activities and arrange for artists to participate.
Whether it is a signed record company or a brokerage company, there is a distribution ratio between the two of them and the artist, who takes the big head and who takes the small head, which is decided when signing the contract. A "non-famous musician" like Chen Wen can definitely only take the small head of the small head.
Situ Yingxue encouraged Chen Wen, don't think about winning the majority of the profits in the contract just after your debut, think about what you can contribute to the company, many big stars take small heads in the early contracts, and the contracts are signed once every few years, and the more famous you will be in the future, the stronger the market appeal will be, the higher the proportion of your contract share! Young people don't always want to climb to the sky in one step, eat one bite at a time, and fight one by one!
Sister Situ's status was too high, and Chen Wenmao was underground, and he had the courage to ask, if he wrote a song by himself, could he sell it to a record company? Chen Wen didn't dare to ask how much it could be sold, so he could only try to ask if he could sell it.
Situ Yingxue said that the record company will not buy your songs, you can sell them to singers who lack songs, but not every singer's style is the same as "The Bund".
Situ Yingxue also said that the record company will also sign some songwriters, but you must be clear about your position, not that if you write something, the record company will arrange for the singer to sing and fill the record for you, but the company chooses the theme according to the characteristics and needs of its own singers and gives it to you to write songs.
---------------------------------
Chen Wen thought to himself, Lao Tzu doesn't expect you to make money, are you so arrogant.
However, Chen Wen complained and complained, he was not angry with Situ Yingxue, there are more than one billion people in the country, all kinds of people, just want to open a little.
Thinking of today's dinner dialogue, Chen Wen deeply felt sorry for the artists, how much grievances the artists have endured from generation to generation!
Looking at the stars with infinite scenery, they must have been tempered by hard years in the early days of their debut!
Looking at Situ Yingxue's black lipstick lips, Chen Wen felt that the taste of this private dish today was really good, and he would definitely bring Su Qianqian to taste it another day.
Su Kangkang, forget it, with his kind of eating appearance and eating method, it is difficult to taste the beauty of this private dish, just give him three bowls of noodles!
Chen Wen thought to himself, when he left for a while, he must ask the proprietress for a business card, and when he goes out, he must remember the route to come here.
This restaurant is really arrogant and confident, I won't hang a signboard, you can't stand it, you will find a way to find it!
Feeling that he was full, he couldn't stuff it anymore, Chen Wen got up to say goodbye, paid high tribute to Situ Yingxue, and praised Sister Tsundere to the sky, and repeatedly praised Tang Jin's little brother for being happy, and his mouth was so sweet!
Tang Jin also got up to say goodbye, planning to go with Chen Wen, but was forced to leave by Situ Yingxue, saying that she hadn't seen her girlfriends for too long, and she had a stomach full of empty windows to confide in.
Chen Wen could only leave alone, Tang Jin's apologetic gaze drifted to Chen Wen again, and Chen Wen smiled again and said that he didn't mind.
When leaving the private restaurant, Chen Wen asked the proprietress for a business card.
The proprietress told the rules here, do not accept temporary guests, only accept appointments, must make an appointment.
There are a total of 7 private rooms, each private room is counted as a table, and the maximum number of people per table is 4.
No breakfast, only lunch and dinner, the upper limit is the number of tables in the private room, and each meal can only be reserved for a maximum of 7 tables, and the excess number can only be postponed to the next day.
Chen Wen asked, if I want to come to eat tomorrow, can I make an appointment now?
The proprietress said with a smile, the nearest free table has been a week later.
Chen Wen asked, how to calculate the cost of consumption?
The proprietress replied that the average table was about 200 yuan.
This price is about half a month's salary of workers in Shanghai in 1992.
The manager of the securities company is a high-income person, and his monthly salary can be eaten here for four meals.
In other words, the consumption level of this private restaurant is slightly lower than but close to that of Fasong Restaurant.
