Chapter One of the Night - Chapter 95

   Chapter 95

  The world’s top “Taishan” brand extended concierge car is driving slowly on the road to the city.

  Liu Junxian rested his elbows on the window, held his chin, stared at the dim yellow sky outside the window, and the streetlights that had gradually turned on, and remained silent for a long time.

   Qiu Jianfeng, the vice president of Venus Records and the general manager of the Imperial City branch, sat opposite him, and asked tentatively, “Mr. Liu, do you want me to accompany you later…”

“Need not!”

   Liu Junxian spoke decisively.

His face was expressionless, but there was a bright light in his eyes, “Xu Zhenghua is not that kind of ordinary young child. I already understood when I talked to him last time. He doesn’t need to be coaxed, and he doesn’t have to be held by someone. If you want to talk to him, every word must be real, it’s useless if you go.”

   Qiu Jianfeng nodded and agreed.

But soon, Liu Junxian smiled again and said: “But after he signs it, you will still need to hold him here more in the future. As long as he is a person, there is no one who won’t eat your way. Coax. Go!”

  Qiu Jianfeng agreed with a smile. Seeing Liu Junxian’s calmness, he asked tentatively, “Listen to what you mean, are you sure you can sign him?”

  Liu Junxian smiled and looked arrogant, “Since I’m here, of course I won’t go back empty-handed! We can’t get him, but we can’t lose to Xipo Records or Cai Zhuoqun!”

After a pause, he added: “Although Xu Zhenghua is smart and even shrewd, he is far from a big boy of his age, but he is still a big boy after all, and he must be full of confidence now. But a man of his age , especially a smart person of this age will not understand, no one will always be at his peak! So… I will give what he wants, as long as he dares to enter my network! “

  Qiu Jianfeng thought for a while and showed a half-understood expression, but he laughed and didn’t ask any more questions.

   This scene fell in Liu Junxian’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but smile in his heart.

  …

   “Zhenghua, come, sit!”

  The location is in a Shandong restaurant, not far from the Conservatory of Music. It looks like three or four stops. Obviously, this restaurant was also carefully selected.

   Neither of them are big stars who are always followed by the paparazzi, so they don’t even want a single room. Liu Junxian just sent someone to reserve a seat by the window in advance, which seems to be a careful and casual dinner.

After a few simple greetings, a total of four dishes were ordered, and both of them tacitly did not mention the matter of drinking. When the waiter took the menu and left, Liu Junxian took a sip from the water glass, put down the water glass and went straight to the topic, ” You prepared a lot of works for your first album, right?”

  Xu Zhenghua laughed, “I saved a few songs.”

   He doesn’t think He Jianliang will reveal what he told him to the outside world – he may occasionally be carried away by interests and do some stupid things, but he is by no means a fool.

   He once revealed that the album has already prepared eight songs, which will definitely be regarded as top-secret information by him and sealed in his own mind.

Liu Junxian didn’t show any surprise, but said seriously: “You have to pay attention to the issue of style. Of course I know that you are an all-rounder. The four works you have produced are basically the most mainstream in the Chinese music scene. There are three directions of the album, and they are all excellent. However, if they appear on the album of three people, there is no problem. If they appear on the album of one person at the same time, it is a big problem.”

  He pointed out, “You have to pay attention to the unity of style.”

   Xu Zhenghua smiled.

  This is… eat me?

   For a little provocation, try his attitude, “I am responsible for my own work.”

Liu Junxian laughed, “Of course, businessmen pursue standardization and assembly lines, and artists pursue uniqueness and individuality. There is no problem. But…even if you are talented, you should pay attention to leaving a little foundation for yourself. Although I believe in your talent, you must I know, talent is a gift from God, and when he says he wants to take it back, he won’t say hello to you in advance.”

After a pause, he smiled, “Prepare a few more songs, take advantage of the ease with which I write now, and write more in any style, but when I finally release an album, I try to choose works with a unified style and put them into one album. This will not only ensure the stylistic unity of an album, but also give yourself some foundation, which will be better, right?”

  This is the beginning?

   I thought I had to eat almost all the time before I saw the real chapter!

   But very good, I like this style, as sharp as the last time I saw him.

  The big guy is full of style.

Then go upstairs, be arrogant, arrogant, and juvenile, after all, I have been an artist for several months now, “I do things, and I have my own considerations. And the reason why I agreed to come out to eat with you This meal just feels like…”

   “Give me a promise.” He interrupted suddenly.

   Xu Zhenghua was stunned, “What promise?”

   He said: “You can mention anything you want, including what you can’t get from Xipo Records. I will definitely give you more than Xipo Records. However, I need a promise.”

   No need to install any more, ready to start the pole, “Like?”

   “For example, five years and three specialties, 20 million sales?”

   He spoke with a smile, but his eyes did not seem to smile at all, but rather aggressive, “Of course, not including singles! Three albums with 20 million copies, you should be confident, right?”

   Low-end radical method.

   And…please, I’m a rookie who can’t even get a single song out!

  No, not a rookie, but an amateur!

  20 million, don’t you think it’s too much?

   But the trick has to work – I’m a young man and a conceited genius!

   “Yes! No problem! 20 million copies!” Xu Zhenghua answered proudly.

   “Write it into the contract and sign a pair of bets. If you lose, you will be miserable.”

   “Of course! But there are rewards for completing it!”

“no problem!”

  Liu Junxian made a quick decision, “I can announce it now, we’ve reached a deal! Now you can say what you want!”

  20 million album sales, what is the concept? Once the standard is met, it means that the sales will exceed 320 million yuan, which means that although Venus does not hold any shares in his own leather bag company that is still waiting for the big sister to register for the running procedures, in the next five years, it will be It will add more than 300 million cash flow.

   For the publisher, for an album that sells millions of copies, their gross profit is normally above 20%, which means a gross profit of more than 60 million!

   Assuming that during the release period of the three albums, two more singles are released each, and each of them can sell more than 3 million copies, this is another sales of nearly 20 million copies.

how much is it? 120 million!

   Together, the gross profit in the hands of the issuer will go to more than 80 million!

Not to mention, as long as you hand over the distribution rights to them, then they will definitely take away the copyrighted track management rights at the same time – package your very popular works with the street-beating works in their hands Selling at a high price, but you can share the money with you according to the regular proportion, this is normal operation, it is nothing, and they also take 20% of the track management fee directly from your income.

   Looking at the time line, this is definitely a hugely profitable business.

   It is said that all publishers will faint with joy if they can pick up such a label for nothing!

But even with such good income expectations and such cool conditions, there will still be no company willing to issue you—they still ask for shares, and they will take 50% or even 60% of your equity first, and then they will agree. Distribute for your subsidiary.

   After eating this half, eat the other half.

  Without a little struggle, without showing a little muscle, or even playing tricks and tricks, it is impossible for them to agree to earn only a little distribution fee and management fee.

  Fortunately, I not only fought, but also succeeded.

   “I want to be 100% owned by myself!”

“Can.”

   “I want to use all facilities and human resources of Venus Records at the normal internal price, including but not limited to recording studios, recording equipment, musicians, etc.”

   Liu Junxian pondered for a moment, “Yes.”

   “I require that the records produced by my label, whether singles or albums, have to get the promotion treatment of second-tier singers at the beginning. The distribution fee is half and half.”

   Liu Junxian looked over and said, “The rule is that the label pays the distribution fee, and we will pay at most half of it.”

   “Yes, pay in advance.”

   “That’s fine. Continue…”

   “Daystar Records will provide all possible help for the singers under our label to impact related awards.”

  Liu Junxian smiled, “The help is sure, no problem, but there is no promise of any awards.”

“Can.”

“continue.”

   “Daystar will provide a full set of public opinion shelter for the artists under my label!”

   This time, Liu Junxian was really surprised. After a while, he laughed, “Are you really only twenty years old?”

   Xu Zhenghua also smiled, “Do you want to see the ID card?”

   Liu Junxian was about to speak when the waiter started serving the food.

  The two stopped for a while, and when the waiter served two dishes, they picked up their chopsticks one after another.

Liu Junxian said while picking vegetables, “I can only promise to protect as much as possible. Venus has its own network of contacts, and the Ren Group behind us is indeed very rich in media resources, but if you want You know, no one is omnipotent.”

“certainly.”

“You are a smart person, Zhenghua, you are really a smart person, at least at your age, I have never seen a singer smarter than you. So, a smart person like you should understand a truth easily. Everything you want is about profit. Make your music well, let me make money, and I will protect you! No promises, I will try my best to protect you. But if you can’t make money for me , any promise can be evaded, can’t it?”

  Xu Zhenghua chewed a piece of celery in his mouth, looked up and thought, “That’s true.”

  Liu Junxian laughed and held up the water glass, “So, it has met your psychological expectations, right? It’s even more exciting than the conditions that Xipo Records offered you, right?”

   He raised the cup, “Then, wish us a happy cooperation?”

  Xu Zhenghua also raised his cup and pole, “Happy cooperation.”
