The bard joins the entertainment industry

He Zhengyang, a man who looks to be in his thirties or forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit.

If you just looked at his attire, you would have thought he was a white-collar elite from some company.

However, his free and easy shoulder-length hair directly adds to his artistic flair.

After signing the contract, he stretched out his hand and smiled gently at Chen Shuo: "Hello, Chen Shuo, let's get to know each other formally.

He Zhengyang is the manager of Jingwen Records and a music producer.

Please take care of me from now on. "

Chen Shuo bowed slightly, held his hand, and said, "Brother He, please take good care of me in the future."

When He Zhengyang saw it, his smile became more sincere, "If you have anything to do in the future, you can tell me directly and I will help you solve it."

The two chatted for a while and after officially getting acquainted, Chen Shuo said goodbye to Shan Xiaolou and others, and followed He Zhengyang around the company.

“Our company was founded in 1994 with the purpose of promoting cultural undertakings.

Committed to producing and promoting original music from mainland China, while introducing excellent overseas music products.

In 2000, our company obtained the VCD distribution rights of Universal Pictures in the United States.

It has also signed cooperation agreements with global famous record groups such as Warner and EMI for product distribution in Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At the same time, we also established Horn Records in 1999 and have released more than 200 original rock songs so far, making it the largest original rock creation base in China.

Last year, Crystal Records was established to focus on domestic original pop music.

He also represented Han Hong's record and performing arts manager, and began to train new artists.

Currently, it includes singers such as Han Hong, Cui Jian, Xuecun, Chen Zhendong, and Lu Yichun, as well as bands such as Zero Point, Compass, New Generation, and Tang Dynasty.

…”

He Zhengyang took Chen Shuo from the door and introduced him to the company one by one.

The office space of Jingwen Records is much larger than that of Zhouyi Film and Television, occupying several floors in total.

In addition to the normal office area, there are also practice rooms, recording studios, etc., which are specially used for the singers to create, practice and rest.

At the same time, Chen Shuo also knew why his signing took so long.

It’s not just the reason why there was no agreement with Zhouyi Film and Television.

Also because Jingwen Records terminated its relationship with Sunshine Culture within this month and returned to the road of independent and independent entrepreneurship.

At the same time, the company is also actively preparing Liu Huan's new album at this time, intending to use this as the first shot for Beijing News to return to its independence.

After that, He Zhengyang took him to his office to have a look.

Although he is a new singer now, he is now somewhat famous, so the company will naturally not be stingy about preparing an office for him.

It was different at Zhouyi Film and Television. The company had a weak foundation and the place was small. He, Yang Junyi, Yu Bo, and Zhang Jin were crowded into a room.

But it was also convenient for the four of us to chat.

After introducing the small office, which was only a few square meters, He Zhengyang poured two glasses of water and invited Chen Shuo to sit down.

Said: "Now that you have officially signed a contract with our company today.

It’s time to start preparations for your album.

Have you written any new songs during this time? "

"No, I'm busy studying in class during this period, so I don't have any extra time." Chen Shuo shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, the company also has a lot of spare impulse songs in the music library.

When the time comes that it’s really not enough, just choose a few songs with similar styles to recharge.

But I think, since you have the ability to write songs, it’s better not to waste it.

If I can spare the time, I'll try to write a few songs.

In this way, the profit from your album will be higher, and you will be divided into more shares when the time comes.

After all, the company charges money for its songs, but at least you don’t have to pay copyright fees to the company for your own songs.

Even if the writing style is not suitable, it doesn't matter. Whether it is replaced by a company or represented by a company, it is a good benefit.

And you can also practice your songwriting skills. "

"Okay, Brother He, I understand. If I have time, I will try to write a few songs."

"Okay, next, you take time to come to the company for training.

The main difference is that there is a difference between singers and actors.

Another thing, the vocal music lessons you learned in school are just the basics, and the training here is more targeted.

Then I will also apply to the company for a production team, and then I will officially start to help you produce this first album.

I will make a production schedule when the time comes.

If you have any ideas about some specific aspects, you can also put them forward.

For example, the name of the album, the script of the MV, the shooting of the cover, etc.

These should all be familiar to you. "

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, brother." Chen Shuo saw that he had considered everything thoroughly, he was very professional, and he considered himself wholeheartedly, so naturally he had no objection.

The role of a record company is to help singers develop their creations.

Help create, raise awareness, create the records the singers want and sell them.

A qualified record company must have strong publicity and distribution channels.

Nowadays, piracy is rampant, and even if your song becomes popular, people all over the country know it.

If you can't sell genuine copies, you still won't make a penny.

However, record companies can use their strong publicity and distribution channels to seize the market in advance before piracy comes out.

Push the album to the people you like in a short time.

Once an album is released, the bonus period is only three months.

After three months, it generally cannot be sold, even if it is pirated.

Among these three months, the first month is the most crucial.

How to sell as many albums as possible within this month is a test of the strength of a record company.

A month later, almost all parts of the country are covered with pirated copies. Even if the bonus period has not passed, it will be difficult to create more benefits.

Of course, newcomers will generally receive preferential treatment. After all, piracy is about making money, and it is impossible for everyone to do it.

When it comes to newcomers releasing albums, no one knows which one will be popular. You can only do it when it becomes popular.

Just doing piracy also takes time, so there is relatively more time left for newcomers.

After discussing for a while, it turned out that it was already afternoon.

After Chen Shuo treated He Zhengyang to a meal, he took the bus back to school.

The address of Jingwen Records is on Tianningsiqian Street, XC District, not far from the Beijing Film Academy campus, only about ten kilometers away.

The next day, Sunday, he rode his bicycle directly to the company and followed He Zhengyang for a day of training.

One day of study also allowed Chen Shuo to expand his singing skills.

Make up for some of his original deficiencies and make him a more qualified singer.

In the evening, Chen Shuo went straight to the Four Seasons Hall after returning to school.

Liu Yifei, who was waiting there, waved to him after seeing him.

Unlike Chen Shuo, who had to go to the company to prepare a new script after studying for a week.

Every time after class on Friday, Liu Xiaoli would come to take Liu Yifei back and let her rest at home for two days.

After I have regained my energy, I will go back to school for self-study on Sunday night.

Although it is said to be self-study in the evening, the teacher does not stipulate that you must stay in the classroom.

You can take classes in the fitness room, classroom, library, anywhere.

As a college student, no one will strictly follow the rules and regulations to control you. It doesn't matter even if you don't go to class.
