16. Zhang Fangfang buys songs, Ocean Records (two in one)
The 100th anniversary of the Double Star University is also a major event in some circles.
The next day, the Double Star University became lively, and the entire campus became festive, with red decorations everywhere, and a dazzling banner was held at the school gate to warmly celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Double Star University!
In addition, the congratulations from various local units and many companies have been placed on a full street.
At noon, the school's huge stadium was already full of students, alumni from all walks of life, as well as some celebrities invited by the school, as well as local government leaders, all sat on the rostrum.
There is a huge stage in the middle, a stage for performance!
There were more than 20,000 students sitting in the surrounding seats, filling the venue.
Wang Zhe sat in the same area with all the students who participated in the performance, and Zhang Fangfang and several other graduated alumni came to participate in the performance.
"Wang Zhe, you wrote the song yesterday so well and sang it well."
As soon as Wang Zhe sat down, a boy next to him said in admiration.
"Thank you, you performed very well."
Wang Zhe responded politely, but in fact he didn't know who the other party was, nor did he know what the other party performed.
"Wang Zhe, come on, I believe you will become popular in the future. The songs you wrote are so good."
A girl said to Wang Zhe with a little shyness, not daring to look at Wang Zhe's face because she was so handsome.
Wang Zhe also smiled and said, "Thank you, I will work hard."
After dealing with several classmates, Wang Zhe was able to be purified when he came to Zhang Pingping over and sat next to Wang Zhe.
"A bunch of snobs."
Zhang Pingping sat beside Wang Zhe carelessly, gave a blank look at several classmates around who were talking to Wang Zhe, and said, "They said you were so ugly before, but now come and get close to you, hum!"
Wang Zhe didn't say anything about this, but just looked towards the rostrum, as if a big shot was about to start talking.
Generally, celebration programs have a fixed process, in the order of levels, leaders from top to bottom speak in turn, and then start performing.
Zhang Pingping approached Wang Zhe and whispered: "Ye Zi went to the stage to help."
Wang Zhe nodded and had already called Ye Yanan. From here, he could see Ye Yanan's busy figure: "I know, there is there."
Seeing that Wang Zhe ignored her, Zhang Pingping was speechless: "I said Wang Zhe, you won't ignore me so stingy, right? I just worried about Ye Zi yesterday, so I said that."
Wang Zhe was stunned and looked at Zhang Pingping and said, "No, I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about things."
"cut!"
Zhang Pingping waved her hand, picked up a book and read it, ignoring Wang Zhe.
At this time, Zhang Fangfang, who was sitting on the other side, also walked over and sat directly in front of Wang Zhe, turned around and looked at Wang Zhe and said, "Wang Zhe, can I buy the song yesterday?"
Zhang Pingping immediately raised her head and looked at Zhang Fangfang: "Senior sister, do you want to buy Wang Zhe's song?"
Zhang Fangfang looked at Zhang Pingping, then looked at Wang Zhe and said, "Well, Wang Zhe, I want to buy that song. I am a little bird. I think it sounds very good. I want to record it in my next album. I want to use it as the title song. Don't worry, I can give you a relatively high price in the industry, no less than 30,000 per song. With the quality of your song, I can give you up to 50,000 per song."
Because the entertainment industry is developed and the Republic of China is also a developed country, the people are very rich and the singers have a high income, so the price of songs is naturally relatively high. It is normal for the top authors in the industry to sell a song for 300,000 or 500,000 yuan.
It is not surprising that a king-level singer can spend more than 10 million yuan on making an album. The cost of purchasing songs may account for more than half.
After all, compared to the superstar singer's sales of an album of tens of millions, even if the profit earned by an album is only one dollar, the production cost of about tens of millions is nothing.
Not to mention, the profit of an album is definitely more than one yuan, and the price of twenty yuan is at least about ten yuan.
Therefore, there is no situation where singers and record companies make a lot of money, but top songwriters are poor and can only work part-time.
Wang Zhe looked at Zhang Fangfang, thought for a while, but still shook his head: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I haven't thought about selling songs yet. You know, I am also a singer myself. Although the last album failed, I still want to give it a try."
Zhang Fangfang looked a little disappointed, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's me that's abrupt. Every song is the author's hard work. Then, junior, can we have a chance to cooperate in the future?"
Zhang Fangfang looked at Wang Zhe expectantly, and she had a premonition that Wang Zhe could help her in the future.
Zhang Pingping didn't say anything, but was very surprised. She didn't expect that just a song would make Zhang Fangfang, who had already achieved success, value Wang Zhe so much.
What she didn't know was that because of her professionalism, Zhang Fangfang had already released her third album. So Zhang Fangfang understood even more that Wang Zhe's song is a good song of the album's title song, and such a song is not expensive if it sells for 100,000 or 80,000 yuan.
Authors who are capable and qualified to write title songs are first-class in the industry and have proven themselves. If you want to invite such an author to write songs for them, most people can't get online. Even if a famous first-line singer goes to a song, they have to queue up.
Wang Zhe nodded: "If you have the chance, I also want to cooperate with my senior sister."
"Hahaha, junior Zhang Fangfang, you are here."
A loud voice came, and Zhang Fangfang, Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping looked over together. They saw a tall, well-deserved middle-aged man with a meticulous suit, a smile on his face, walked over. Looking at his badge and the words of a guest alumni, he knew that he must be an alumni from Double Star University, but depending on his age, he had been graduating for at least twenty years.
Zhang Fangfang recognized the person at a glance, stood up to greet him, and smiled and said, "It's Mr. He who is here."
The middle-aged man came over and shook hands with Zhang Fangfang politely, then smiled heartily, "Don't, don't call Mr. He, just call me a senior, I'll call you a junior. Today, we only have classmates and no other identities at the centenary celebration of our alma mater."
Then, he looked at Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping and smiled and said, "Senior brother, hello, senior sister, just call me senior."
Zhang Fangfang explained to Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping: "This is our senior, He Yongzhi, a 67th class, and is now the general manager of Dayang Records, one of the six major record companies."
This year is the 4688th year of the Shenzhou Calendar, and the 67th year is 21 years ago.
The six major record companies are the oldest, with a history of 70 years, as well as the Central Plains Records and Universal Records with a history of 60 years, the Ocean Records and Yunhua Records with a history of 50 years, and the Tangfeng Records with a history of 30 years, but the establishment time is also 30 years!
The Global Magazine submitted by Wang Zhe and the Universal Records are the company, which are also affiliated to the Universal Entertainment Group. They are considered to be on par, but the scale of Universal Records is countless times larger than that of Universal Magazine, and its assets are more than tens of billions.
Ocean Records, where He Yongzhi served as general manager, has a history of fifty years, with a profound heritage, and a sales channel all over the world, with a scale of tens of billions. It has hundreds of signed singers, including first-line male and female singers, as well as king-level existences. There are tens of thousands of songs in the copyright library.
He Yongzhi can be the general manager of Ocean Records at most about fifty years old, and he is definitely a successful person.
Wang Zhe shook hands gently with He Yongzhi, his tone was calm, and he smiled and said, "Hello, senior, my name is Wang Zhe, this year's sophomore."
Zhang Pingping also shook hands with He Yongzhi politely and appropriately: "Hello, senior, my name is Zhang Pingping, this year's sophomore."
After He Yongzhi shook hands politely with Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping, he sat down directly: "School sister, sit down, I have something to talk to you. It's just right here. I haven't returned to school for a long time. Today is a good day."
Zhang Fangfang sat down, and sat in front of Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping in a seat away from He Yongzhi.
"School girl, are your third album going to be launched?"
He Yongzhi looked at Zhang Fangfang and asked.
Zhang Fangfang nodded, with a little unnatural expression and whispered: "Well, it has been promoted for a month and will be launched next week."
"The contract you signed with Changhe Records seems to be three albums, right?"
He Yongzhi asked again.
Zhang Fangfang nodded again and said nothing. She was discovered by Changhe Records. She is still in the contract period of the newcomer. The contract is five years and three albums, and it is about to end.
Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping both heard that He Yongzhi is here to poach people.
Sure enough, He Yongzhi said directly: "School sister, we are all our own people today, so I'll just say it. I want to invite you to wait until the contract is over and come to our Ocean. If you have seniors, I will protect you. The contract will never treat you badly. Under Ocean, the future development will be better. Changhe's scale is still too small and it cannot tolerate singers at the queen level."
Zhang Fangfang was stunned, then shook her head and said, "I'm not the queen."
He Yongzhi looked at Zhang Fangfang with a firm look and said in a tempting voice: "But, I think you will definitely be a singer of the queen level in the future. Senior, I have been very accurate in viewing people for so many years. Many of our singers under Dayang were brought out by me back then. Wu Zihua knows it? When he was a newcomer, I signed it with one hand. Later, I almost became the king of the world. Now I am in my forties and am still active in the circle. Last year's nostalgic albums sold more than 5 million."
"You know Qin Feifei, do you know? I signed one of the four great queens now. Ten years ago, and her first album was produced by me. I won't say much about the others. You can find out if you ask for it. Come to me, I will give you the best contract and the best resources. Within five years, you will definitely become the queen."
"I have heard your songs specifically. You have a unique voice. You are also good at grasping the emotions of each song. You can bring them in very well and drive the audience. This is also your talent. For the same song, you sing better than others, this is talent and advantage. As long as you find the right style and works for you, and with the huge channel promotion of our Ocean Records, it is difficult for you to not become popular."
He Yongzhi obviously came prepared and every sentence he said to Zhang Fangfang was reasonable.
Wang Zhe nodded secretly when he heard this. He did see that Zhang Fangfang had the potential to be popular, and his voice and singing talent were very high. This is really a gift from God. As long as he goes the right path in the future and promotes it vigorously, he will definitely become popular.
Zhang Fangfang looked very moved, looked at He Yongzhi, sighed and said, "But, senior, do you know about my new album?"
He Yongzhi waved his hand and smiled generously, "Isn't it just the Beijing TV station's ranking? They don't like you, I've heard the news, and it's spread in the industry. They say that your new album is going to fail and your future is worrying. To be honest, I'm not optimistic, but that's not your reason, it's a problem with style and producers, and you have no problem with your personal strength."
Zhang Fangfang smiled and was silent for a moment, then said, "Senior, please consider it for a while. Changhe has the kindness of knowing me."
He Yongzhi still smiled and said, "You know the kindness of meeting you? Senior sister, you didn't see clearly this circle. In essence, we are all businessmen. They dig you out to make money, not to do good things. You have made a lot of money for them in the past few years. If you don't owe them anything, you will clear the two of them after the contract ends. If you come to our company, Changhe will not say anything. This is normal in the circle."
Zhang Fangfang still didn't agree: "Senior, don't force me, let me think about it."
He Yongzhi laughed and said, "Okay, you think about it. I am very sincere. To be honest, I didn't have much time to stay here today. I originally planned to sit for a while and show my face, talk to the principal for a few words before saying goodbye, but I know that you are here, so I will stay here to talk to you. In order to show my sincerity and importance to my junior, I will stay and listen to my junior singing before leaving."
Zhang Fangfang smiled, looked at Wang Zhe again, and said, "Senior, you have to watch the performances of the juniors and sisters. Maybe you will gain more."
He Yongzhi laughed and said, "Hahaha, if you can convince your junior sister, you will join us, that will be a huge reward. Well, junior sister, you can rest and prepare for the performance. I will sit there for a while and chat with a few old friends. When you go on stage, I will applaud you."
"Okay, goodbye senior."
Zhang Fangfang stood up to see He Yongzhi off.
Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping also stood up and sent He Yongzhi away.
He Yongzhi smiled and waved to Wang Zhe and Zhang Pingping, waved politely to other juniors, and then took a step towards the VIP seat.
Chapter completed!
