Chapter 12 Artists
“Mr. He, I definitely didn’t leak it out!”
As soon as he entered the door, even before the assistant closed the door, Luo Guangming couldn’t wait to express his attitude, “But you also know that when Xiaojing brought the score, I was at the recording studio, and I couldn’t keep it in my pocket all the time. If you don’t put two pieces of paper, Mr. Liu is in the recording studio again… This kind of thing is really unavoidable.”
“So he can rob my people and then rob my songs?”
He Jianliang suddenly turned around, his face full of anger, his aura was terrifying.
Luo Guangming stopped talking.
The assistant lowered his head, opened the door carefully, and went out.
“My fault!”
In the end, it only took a few seconds for Luo Guangming to bow his head, “It’s my negligence, I promise, next time I get a similar work or submission, I will keep it in person… Can you add an assistant to me? You too You know, I’m in charge of several songs at the same time, and I’ve been directing practice and recording lately, and I’m really…”
“If something like this happens in the future, just call my assistant and ask her to take over!”
“All right!”
Luo Guangming sighed helplessly, looked back at Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing, “Then now…”
“Now?”
He Jianliang suddenly hugged his shoulders again, his eyes were blank, and after more than ten seconds, he suddenly smiled, “Now… guess what? I changed my mind and used “Short Hair”.”
He stretched out his finger to Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing, “Look, what a pair, perfect match!”
Before Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing could breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Guangming suddenly said, “No! Absolutely not! I object!”
He was very angry, “I have said again and again that the song “Short Hair” is not conducive to exerting An Xiaojing’s singing ability, nor is it enough to show her singing skills! And this song is indeed a bit sad, which is not conducive to creating our preset The image of this… you all agreed with it before, you can’t because… I don’t agree!”
He Jianliang looked at him seriously, “Lao Luo, I can’t lose my song!”
“That can’t be…”
Luo Guangming looked back at Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing again, only to realize in an instant that he was already helpless, and immediately became more and more angry, “Then let them make it by themselves, I won’t accompany you!” Go, open the door, and slam it again with a bang.
This is something that doesn’t give the boss face.
Xu Zhenghua turned to look at He Jianliang.
His face was a little hazy, but he soon smiled again.
This guy is so handsome when he smiles.
“You artists are all so temperamental, right?”
Xu Zhenghua shrugged.
He Jianliang paced back and forth a few steps in the room, walked to his desk, sat on his buttocks and hugged his shoulders, “So… artists, I agreed, and I used “Short Hair” as An Xiaojing’s first single. Qu.” While speaking, he bent back, picked up the handset of the phone, and instructed, “Call old Zhou from the legal department, and the contract needs to be changed.”
returned to the microphone, he came over and said, “Now the problem is coming. If you want to make this song smoothly, you need to coax Mr. Luo back to me first! I still trust his level, so…”
Before he could finish speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. He Jianliang’s assistant’s words came in immediately, but Luo Guangming had already rushed in. He stretched out his hand and pointed at An Xiaojing, with a distressed look. “I’m waiting for the day you cry when you can’t sell your records!”
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away.
Real Nyima candid!
How do you feel that an artist is more powerful than someone who is worth billions?
From start to finish, He Jianliang didn’t say a word. Seeing his assistant standing at the door, he waved his hand expressionlessly, “Go, call and ask Lao Zhou to change the contract.”
The assistant closed the door and went out.
He Jianliang sighed, raised his hand and pinched his forehead.
“Mr. He…”
He Jianliang raised his head.
“If you don’t have a better candidate for a while, how about I recommend myself?”
He Jianliang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, “Do you want to be a producer?”
“Why not?”
Xu Zhenghua smiled confidently and powerfully, “I wrote the music, wrote the lyrics, I have already made the arrangement, and the full set of scores are all in my mind. Xiaojing and I are still very good friends!”
The reason seems to be good.
Successful songwriters, after gaining experience, will gradually try to become part-time producers. Of course, it is a logical thing – but not everyone can do it.
This position is special.
It needs to have a very high grasp of music and genre, and have a clear cognition and understanding of the singer’s strength, sound texture and plastic direction, especially the precise control of market tastes.
The lyrics and music are out, and a song is still far from being finalized.
How the arrangement should be done, and what style to try to present, the producer has the final say.
It is up to the producer to decide how the singer should sing and what style to sing.
By analogy, this position is probably similar to the producer and director in a movie, the songwriter is just a screenwriter, the singer is just an actor, and the arranger is probably like an assistant director and photographer, or an art director.
So famous singers, in order to strive for songs and albums to show the style they want, they will be producers themselves. And a powerful producer can often use an album to make a certain unknown newcomer popular.
A top-level producer is something that all record companies should really hold.
Xu Zhenghua is undoubtedly very tender.
But he wasn’t afraid at all – copy it.
One song, three or four minutes in length, requires limited manpower to schedule.
Whatever arrangement was used in the original singing, whatever arrangement was used for An Xiaojing.
What kind of musical instrument the original singing used, let her play any musical instrument too.
Let her sing how the original sang.
Copy it!
Xu Zhenghua is confident that he should be able to handle it.
Besides, recording is an industry. Since it is an industry, it must have a mature operating process inside it. According to the process, how big of a problem can there be?
The most important thing is… He has to try his best to prevent this song from being magically altered by others!
I copied it myself, the record is on the street, there is nothing to complain about.
But if you try your best to win cooperation, you will exert extreme pressure, you will offend the producer, and you will owe Chen Bangdao a lot of favor, and the result will be completely different from the original song. ?
He Jianliang was speechless for a long time.
Then suddenly looked at An Xiaojing, pointed at Xu Zhenghua, “Your own song, first single, debut work, can you trust him?”
An Xiaojing did hesitate for a while, but in the end, she turned her head to look at Xu Zhenghua, and replied, “Trust.”
He Jianliang clapped his hands and pointed at Xu Zhenghua, “Okay! You are responsible for paying 10,000 yuan, and I will let the recording studio cooperate with you and give you 24 hours of free time to do a demo! If you pass, the money will be reimbursed by the company, and you will be the producer and make an official version. If you don’t pass, huh… 10,000 yuan and 24 hours will all be burned in vain! Next, I will decide who will make it. Do it or not?”
Clap clap clap!
“President He, Legal Counsel Zhou is here!”
“Mr. He, you call me.”
He Jianliang didn’t even look at them, staring straight at Xu Zhenghua.
Xu Zhenghua smiled, “Yes!”
He Jianliang snapped his fingers, stood up and walked back to the desk, “Old Zhou, change the contract! The song “Short Hair” is assigned to An Xiaojing, other conditions remain unchanged.”
Guan Yulan opened her mouth, but before speaking, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Xu Zhenghua.
Sure enough, Xu Zhenghua spread his hands, “Mr. Chen Bangdao said that he can pay me 30,000 in advance, 8% royalties, and said that we can continue to talk, will you not change it at all?”
He Jianliang turned around suddenly, his eyes fierce, “Boy, don’t go too far!”
Xu Zhenghua was fearless and shrugged handsomely, “I mean, you have more power than him, and the advance payment must not be at least 40,000 yuan? After all, there is still a good chance that I will drop 10,000 yuan in it, and I won’t get any money. of!”
He Jianliang laughed.
But he waved his fingers, “Don’t bluff me, artist! I know this business better than you! I also know Xiaodao Records better than you! Du Xuelan can’t give you any 8% royalties, you haven’t reached that. Take your share!”
After a pause, he said, “Thirty thousand, 7%! Stop haggling with me!”
“Well, you are the boss, you have the final say!”
After a while, Guan Yulan opened the door first and walked out, “Lawyer Jiang? Come on, let’s accompany this lawyer Zhou to draw up a contract! Finish the fights that should be quarreling in advance, so you don’t have to change them over and over again.”
