Chapter 384: Boss Chen's Willfulness(1/2)
"Xiao Chu, are there any artists signed by our company who are talented in music?"
Chen Jianghe asked with a smile without any emotional fluctuations.
Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Brother Chen, what do you mean by being talented? There are many of the artists we signed for, who are good at singing."
In the past year, Jianglin Entertainment Company has organized various singing talent shows nationwide to attract a large number of male and female singers with the sound of nature.
These singers are obviously all "talented" singers whom God appreciates food.
But Xiao Chu certainly knew that the "talent" in Chen Jianghekou was definitely not the kind of "talent" in the general sense.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have made a special trip to ask himself this question.
Chen Jianghe looked at Xiao Chu and said lightly: "Every singing and writing are excellent."
Xiao Chu couldn't help but frown slightly and fell into deep thought.
Although the explanation of "musical talent" given by this boss Chen only has the four words "good singing and writing".
But how easy is it to meet these two conditions at the same time?
Although the number of singers who debuted through talent shows is not large.
But it is absolutely impossible to say that it is "very rare".
The boys and girls who have signed contracts with Jianglin Entertainment Company over the past year are enough to form ten, eight boy and girl groups.
But there are very few singers with originality.
Even those who can write songs by themselves cannot even reach the minimum professional level.
Not to mention having talent in music creation.
Seeing Xiao Chu's reaction, Chen Jianghe basically knew the answer.
He had a glimmer of luck in his mind and was able to discover some musical geniuses in China who could play alongside the music superstars like Jay Chou, Pu Shu, and Eason Chan.
Now it seems that this idea is still too unrealistic.
After all, singing only requires a natural sound.
If you want to create classic songs that can be popular, you need to have profound attainments in music.
Obviously, for a country that has just had a full meal for a few years, it has not had time to breed a rich soil for cultivating artistic geniuses.
It is difficult for a large number of masters in various art fields to emerge in the short term.
"Xiao Chu, you have been to Hong Kong and Taiwan during this period and have an interview with the most popular singers at the moment."
Chen Jianghe pondered for a moment and ordered: "I will give you unlimited authorization in this matter. We must sign the mp3 distribution rights with these singers."
Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Brother Chen, you just asked me to sign the distribution rights of mp3 with these singers... Didn't you ask me to dig them all over?"
When she heard Chen Jianghe say the first half of the sentence, the blood on her body couldn't help but boil.
Compared with the mainland, the most popular singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan are indeed more than two or three levels stronger.
They are like the most popular music stars in the sun.
If these singers can be dug up to sign an artist contract with Jianglin Entertainment Company, it will definitely be a very accomplished event!
Even if you fail to dig up these singers, you will at least have to buy the copyright of their record distribution.
But this boss Chen actually just asked himself to sign the mp3 distribution rights with these singers.
Such a serious attitude only explains such a simple job, which is like a joke!
This time it was Chen Jianghe's turn to be stunned.
He was silent for a while, and looked at Xiao Chu in disbelief and said, "You just said you had dug up all these singers... aren't you kidding me?"
In Chen Jianghe's view, those music superstars all seemed like inexhaustible gold coins!
From the beginning, he did not dare to expect "poaching people" and even thought that it would be a lucky thing to sign the mp3 distribution copyright.
"Brother Chen, our domestic market is something these Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are undesirable."
Xiao Chu looked at Chen Jianghedao with a smile: "During this period, there have been two-line singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan who have commissioned agents to ask me to sign a contract with our Jianglin Entertainment Company."
"The reason why those first-line singers didn't come to the door is probably always watching actively. I think as long as I take the initiative to throw an olive branch to the other party and give a signing offer that is sincere enough, I will still be very confident to win it."
Chen Jianghe hesitated for a moment and asked, "If you want to dig Jay Chou over, what price is it probably needed."
At this moment, Jay Chou has just released two albums "Jay" and "Fantasy", and has made his mark in the Chinese music scene.
In the next few years, Jay Chou will become a heavyweight figure in the Chinese music scene step by step.
In Chen Jianghe's view, even if Jay Chou spent a sky-high price of 100 million, he would have made a lot of money to his grandma's house.
"Jay Chou? This seems to be a male singer who has just debuted, right?"
When Xiao Chu heard Chen Jianghe say the name "Jay Chou", he said in confusion: "Brother Chen, didn't you ask me to dig up popular singers like the four kings of Hong Kong?"
"The four kings should forget it..."
Chen Jianghe immediately shook his head and denied: "I'll provide you with a list so that you won't have any misunderstandings."
As he said that, he took out his pen and wrote a series of names on his notepad.
"Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Park Shu, A-mei Chang, Jolin Tsai, Stefanie Sun..."
While Chen Jianghe was writing these singers' names, Xiao Chu stood behind him and watched.
But the more I looked down, Xiao Chu's eyes widened and his expression became more and more confused.
Because the so-called singers written by Chen Jianghe don’t even have a popular singer.
Most of them are new stars in the music industry who have just released one or two albums.
Such a new singer has not actually a high status in the music industry.
Because many newcomers can make a sensation with an album when they first debuted.
However, the albums released later were of varying quality and disappeared from now on.
This is a popular saying in the music scene.
"It's not a big skill to release an album and become popular. It's a real skill to release one album."
It is precisely for this reason that the living space of new singers is often particularly cruel.
Most agency companies are unwilling to sign contracts with new singers, for fear of spending a lot of money to sign a "boring" if you accidentally.
"How sure are you to dig these singers over? How much quotation is each person going to need?"
Chen Jianghe handed Xiao Chu the notepad with the name of the singer and asked.
"It's about 10 million."
Xiao Chu gave a relatively conservative offer without hesitation.
"10 million? Is it the average of 10 million for everyone?"
Chen Jianghe was obviously stunned by this number.
If you can sign these music superstars at such a cheap price, it is no different from being free!
"No, no, Brother Chen, you're thinking too much."
Xiao Chu shook his head and said seriously: "I mean, everyone on this list can be done with about 10 million."
Chen Jianghe: "???"
You know, he wrote about 10 singers who are still so popular after several years!
It is no exaggeration to say that it has become a whole era!
But Xiao Chu said arrogantly that he could "package" so many superstars in the music industry to acquire only 10 million yuan.
This is simply no difference from blocking the road and robbing under "broad day, bright sky"!
"Brother Chen, I'll give you a brief explanation."
Xiao Chu saw Chen Jianghe's puzzled expression and explained with a smile: "At least half of the singers you wrote have sent their agents to contact me. I have been ruling and not going to see them, just wanting to wait and see for a while."
As the general manager of Jianglin Entertainment Company, Xiao Chu naturally needs to ensure that the artists signed under the company must bring tangible economic benefits.
For new singers who have just debuted, only released one or two records, they should be very cautious.
"Stop watching... take them all in the shortest time."
Chen Jianghe took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse in his heart and calmly said: "I am optimistic about these people, sign a contract with them immediately."
Chen Jianghe, who has been reborn 20 years later, certainly knows that these music superstars are on the verge of being about to "popular".
Taking Jay Chou as an example, he has already held the "theone concert" at the Taipei Stadium at this moment and achieved great success.
In another month, Jay Chou will hold 5 "theone" concerts at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium.
In another half a month, he held the "theone" concert in Las Vegas, USA.
By the end of the year, Jay Chou will win the 1st MTV Japanese Music Video Award for the Most Outstanding Artist Award in Asia.
The 2nd Global Chinese Song Rankings Most Popular Singer Creator Award.
