Chapter 106 Records, Not Just Feelings (4/10 Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Brother Qin, do you want to sign our record deal?"
Yang Qian looked at Qin Liang in surprise.
"Well, you and Miss Dai are a duo, or you are alone and Miss Dai is alone, it doesn't matter!"
Qin Liang obviously saw that the "Miss Dai and Mr. Mu" combination between Yang Qian and Dai Yuni was temporary.
Both of them are singers with their own characteristics. If they are always bound together, it will not be good for their future development.
And on the stage yesterday, except for one song "Want to Sing Me to You" which was considered a chorus in the true sense, they all sang their own songs - the same goes for "When You Get Old".
"It doesn't mean that we need to sign any contract. If you are willing, you can leave the recording, production, promotion and distribution of the album to Moxing for you."
Of course, this statement is for Dai Yuni’s sake!
Asking Dai Yuni to sign a contract with him would be a bit too outrageous.
The Dai family's assets are many times that of her own. She really doesn't want to play with them anymore, and the contract can't restrain her.
In this case, why bother with a contract?
Everyone helps each other through friendship, which can be regarded as recognizing friends through music. When we get along, we get together, and when we don't get along, we break up, so that we can meet again in the future.
"Moxing has a relatively professional team. I can't say it's the best in the industry, but it's also a very professional recording equipment, including our design team and MV shooting team."
"We don't just record songs for the company's bands. Many famous musicians, such as Bai Hua, Xie Fei, Shi Mo... have all come to us to record songs, and their records are also distributed by us."
Qin Liang's suggestion is actually quite reasonable. Although the record market has almost declined, the threshold of the record industry is still very high. Especially if you want to make well-made records, even vinyl records, there are not many companies at all.
It can be done.
It is worth mentioning that real record recording is not like what Yang Qian and Du Xun did in Hecheng. It can be done by two people in a small recording studio.
The sound effects and textures recorded in a professional recording studio, as well as the help of professional producers in arranging the music, the final effect of these works will definitely far exceed the audio that Yang Qian uploaded to the Internet.
Not to mention the professional design, MV shooting team, and professional physical record and vinyl record manufacturing plants...
Moxing is one of the few true record companies in the industry that still has strength!
Qin Liang knew that Dai Yuni could not spend money to build a record industry chain, but it would not make much sense, let alone cost-effective!
"Xie Fei, Shi Mo, Bai Hua! They all recorded songs in Mosing?"
Dai Yuni looked surprised.
These three are legends and ashes in the Chinese music scene and even in the entire entertainment industry. Xie Fei was already a queen in the last century, and Shi Mo is a movie queen.
Bai Hua is a bit low-key, and he doesn't like fame and fortune like those pop singers, and he doesn't like to appear in the spotlight, but his works are deeply loved and he also has many Buddhist fans!
Dai Yuni likes them all.
"We have recorded it, and Miss Dai doesn't know about it? Shi Mo's record contract is signed with Mosing Music, and he has been signed for several years!"
Qin Liang said with a smile.
Dai Yuni really didn't know that when Shi Mo signed the contract with Mo Xing, she was still in high school. Moreover, wasn't there nothing happening after signing the contract?
It is quite sad that a former silver screen goddess has not made as much noise in music as the incompetent and unparalleled Guo Taibai.
Of course, there is no need to discuss this issue at this time.
Yang Qian still has some doubts about releasing a record.
"Brother Qin, I would like to ask. The record market is currently in a sluggish state. It can even be said to have been a stagnant water for many years. There should be very few people willing to spend money to buy physical records. You still want to help us release physical records. Is it right?
What are you considering?"
Yang Qian asked directly.
Judging from today's contacts, Qin Liang cannot be said to be totally ungrateful, but he doesn't seem to be a scheming person either.
Yang Qian wanted to discuss this issue with Qin Liang.
The record market has been stagnant for almost twenty years. Physical records are basically uninterested, and bookstores no longer help sell physical records.
On the contrary, the electronic version of the record is still somewhat "popular", but this "popularity" must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
Because everyone listens to music directly by paying for membership. A song costs a few yuan, and an electronic record costs dozens of yuan. Basically no one will buy it.
Except for those so-called ardent fans of top singers...
Sometimes Yang Qian even thinks about a question: Does it still make sense to release songs in albums?
It seems that many people are releasing singles or EPs (mini albums), right?
"Well, the record market is indeed dead, but now records can be operated in another way, and that is peripherals!"
As an industry veteran and even the boss of a major label, Qin Liang can indeed provide Yang Qian with a different perspective on issues.
And he is also happy to share his thoughts and Moxing's business model with Yang Qian.
"Let me give you an example, the Cherry Music Festival. This year's data is not available, but last year's Cherry Music Festival was also here. About 35,000 people came. 86.7% of them came from all over the country.
If you come here, just the air tickets, accommodation and meals will cost thousands, right? Not to mention the duty-free shopping. The boost to the local tourism economy of Sanyin is very considerable! Organizing a music festival can also boost it.
300 million consumption!” (Note 1)
"With so many music fans coming to the music festival, many of them will definitely buy some figurines back, just like everyone will take some souvenirs back when traveling. Many people will also choose to buy the records we promote because the records are so commemorative.
The value will be greater, and our records are all beautifully produced and artistic. We will also arrange for singers to sign on the spot..."
"These are all revenues other than tickets, and they are serious business. The money we musicians earn through our music should be more valuable and meaningful than the money we earn from doing live broadcasts and selling goods while not doing our job properly, right?"
When Yang Qian heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
If a real singer, a person with ideals and pursuits, can make a living from his music openly, who would be willing to show up and ask his fans to buy some goods that he has no idea what they are?
I have to say that Boss Qin is indeed a person with feelings and ideas!
Yang Qian was moved by his words.
The same goes for Dai Yuni. When Yang Qian looked at her and asked her for advice, she nodded and honestly said that she had also bought Baihua's vinyl record at the music festival (for her father).
Anyway, no one knew her as the lead singer of a small band. Dai Yuni often mingled in the audience to watch her favorite singers sing.
"Brother Qin, there should be no problem with the record cooperation. But we shouldn't release the record so early. Yu Ni will graduate in June next year, and she has a more important exam in April. She has exactly half a year, and I also want to prepare well.
, we will each prepare an album by then."
Yang Qian thought for a moment before telling Qin Liang about his plan.
