Of course, the people at Rolling Stone Records are naturally prestigious, but it is generally difficult for a company of this level to interact with ordinary people. Moreover, the general manager of the Beijing branch came to see Zhang Yicheng in person. What did Zhang Yicheng do?
Although Gao Lei had all kinds of questions, it was hard for her to ask because neither of the parties involved had any intention of telling her.
Taking Lin Tan down from the teaching building to the playground, there were many students coming and going. Zhang Yicheng walked with a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, which immediately attracted many curious eyes.
"The student days are always nostalgic!" Lin Tan said with a smile, "The life in the ivory tower is always touching!"
"Well, actually people in the ivory tower don't think so! Maybe this is what is called, being in the midst of blessings and not knowing the blessings!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile. At this moment, his mood was actually the same as Lin Tan's, but his
Better luck, he was reborn, but Lin Tan couldn't be reborn, that's it
"Haha, Mr. Zhang sees things very clearly!" Lin Tan did not call Zhang Yicheng "Classmate Zhang" or something like that when he saw Zhang Yicheng at a young age like most people. Instead, he called him "Mr. Zhang", looking very serious.
"Haha!" Zhang Yicheng did not answer, but asked, "This time, Manager Lin traveled all the way from Beijing to Taishi for "Breathing Pain"!"
"That's right!" Lin Tan said with a smile. Of course he wouldn't tell Zhang Yicheng. In fact, he just happened to be on a business trip nearby and planned to come over in person at the last minute.
"Everyone in our company listened to this song "Breathing Pain" and liked it very much. This is indeed a good song that has been rare in several years!" Lin Tan said without hesitation in complimenting, "I came here in person to discuss "The Meeting"
The issue of buying out the copyright of "The Pain of Breathing"!"
"One price, 50,000!" Zhang Yicheng said decisively
"Oh, no, no, no, our company can only sell this song for a maximum of 20,000 yuan. Mr. Zhang, maybe you don't know the current market. The average newcomer has a net worth of only 20,000 yuan!" Lin Tan said.
"But I think Mr. Lin should be well aware of the quality of their songs!" Zhang Yicheng said confidently. In his previous life, he ran a brokerage company, so he is naturally well aware of these things in the entertainment industry. If Lin Tan thinks he can fool him
If so, that would be a big mistake
"As for the quality of my song, I don't think I need to repeat it, otherwise Mr. Lin wouldn't have come all the way from Beijing, right?" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile.
Lin Tan was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Yicheng to be so mature. He didn't have the youthfulness that a student should have. When he saw Zhang Yicheng's age, although he called Mr. Zhang on his lips, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt in his heart. This was also
What’s wrong with Chinese people is that they have no hair on their lips and can’t do things well. Zhang Yicheng is so young, maybe this song will be his first sold song. Twenty thousand yuan is undoubtedly a huge sum for a student.
It's a huge sum of money, he should be happy to accept it
And honestly speaking, 20,000 yuan per song is indeed the top price for a new songwriter, but Zhang Yicheng seems to be a seasoned veteran in the mall, not panicking at all.
"But to be honest, your reputation is not very high. We have to consider the market acceptance!" Lin Tan casually threw out a market and said
"Haha, Mr. Lin, don't bully me. I'm a kid and don't understand anything. For us songwriters, whether the market can accept it or not depends on whether the song is good or not, rather than how famous it is. Could it be that the market won't accept it because the author is not famous?
Do you want to listen to the song? You must know that most people don't know who the songwriter is!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile in his eyes, but he was not annoyed at all, "My song is at least the title song level, with this song
, plus some other decent songs and a suitable female singer, you can create an album, and the sales will definitely not be too bad!"
"Mr. Zhang knows the record company very well!" Lin Tan's eyes flashed with astonishment. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yicheng was not easy to fool. He knew many things very well and there was no embarrassment about being exposed. Lin Tan continued, "But in this case,
Mr. Zhang should know that for a luxurious album, although the songs are very important, don’t they also need to be created, packaged, and find the right singer? You say so!”
"But songs are the foundation. Rolling Stone Records must have been able to go from glory in the 1980s to now for almost 30 years. It is no wonder that good songs are important to the album. The packaging and other things must be based on the quality of the album itself.
If the quality of the album is not good, no matter how good the packaging is, it will be abandoned by the public, especially now that the record market is shrinking. The quality of an album is undoubtedly all about the songs.
, I’m right, this song of mine can bring the album sales of 200,000 copies, I am very confident about this, and Mr. Lin must also know it!” Zhang Yicheng was not moved at all, and talked eloquently.
"And Mr. Lin, don't think that I don't know that the price of top musicians now for writing lyrics or composing music has exceeded 200,000 yuan, and I only need 50,000 yuan!" Zhang Yicheng said with a smile.
"But now Mr. Zhang is not a top musician, not even a newcomer!" Lin Tan instantly pointed out Zhang Yicheng's Achilles' heel, which is that he is not famous enough.
"It's true that I'm not a top musician yet, but Mr. Lin, do you think if I were a top musician now, it would be possible for you to get this song from me at a wholesale price of 50,000 yuan?" Zhang Yicheng
He hit back unhurriedly and was not hit at all.
This is indeed the case. If Zhang Yicheng was a top musician, how could he possibly sell "Breathing Pain" at a low price? In his opinion, the value of "Breathing Pain" is far more than that. Fifty thousand yuan is definitely a cheap sale.
, but there is no way, who makes him not famous? Faced with this situation, he can only accept it.
"Mr. Zhang is so funny!" Lin Tan said with a smile.
"If the Rolling Stones are not satisfied with our song, I think EMI and Sony will also be interested in this song!" Zhang Yicheng is not in a hurry at all. Anyway, the current music market has already reached the demand for good songs.
to an unprecedented degree
Lin Tan's expression suddenly changed
It is said that the current record market is in a sluggish state. The reason for this is not only the hard reason that Sony launched MP3, which directly broke the record company's defense line, but more importantly, there is an increasing lack of good songs.
