Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 27 Warner Records
The Chinese New Year is here in the blink of an eye.

This year's Chinese New Year at Xu Yi's house was particularly lively.

Many relatives and friends came to visit, wanting to meet Xu Yi, the "big star".

Xu Yi and his family also paid New Year's greetings to several elders.

So when they saw his BMW X5 worth more than one million yuan, everyone immediately exclaimed that Xu Yi had made it big!
"Tian Long" has not been broadcast yet.

Compared to his popularity on the Internet, Xu Yi is much less famous in real life.

It is far from comparable to those real big stars.

But no matter how famous it is, a car worth over one million is real!
Even Xu Yi's parents stood up straighter!
The smile on his face never stopped for a moment!

I completely forgot that not long ago, I severely criticized my son for spending money "extravagantly"!
Immediately on the fifth day of the New Year, Xu Yi returned to the capital.

Huang Shengyi also returned to the capital on the same day.

But she didn't do it specifically for Xu Yi.

But she had just taken on a role in a play and was about to join the crew.

The two of them naturally had to seize the time and have a good discussion...

Then on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Shengyi officially joined the crew to film.

As agreed, Xu Yi went to the Warner Music branch in Beijing and found Lu Zhongqiang, the music producer.

This is naturally through Wang Jinghua's relationship.

"Hello, Brother Lu, I'm Xu Yi."

Xu Yi stretched out a hand and greeted him proactively.

Warner Music only entered the mainland in 2000.

But as one of the world's most famous music production and distribution companies, Warner Music's strength is naturally unquestionable.

As a music producer of Warner Music's mainland branch, Lu Zhongqiang is no unknown person.

He is just in his early thirties and has already worked with many big-name singers.

CCTV now has a very popular music program called "The Same Song", and he used to be the music director!

"Hello there!"

Lu Zhongqiang also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Yi.

Then he asked directly: "I heard from Sister Hua that you want to make an album?"

"Yes, Brother Lu, and I have already prepared the song."

Xu Yi replied.

That’s right, becoming a singer is his next development plan!
In today's Chinese entertainment industry, when it comes to popularity, status and earning power, singers are undoubtedly the strongest group!
Not only is their status no less than that of movie stars, but their earning ability far surpasses that of movie stars and TV stars!
As for popularity, let alone!
Don’t talk about this era!

The singer’s popularity in any era is definitely the highest among all stars!

Because the songs can be listened to over and over again.

But few people watch movies and TV series repeatedly.

It is not surprising that a singer can make a living from just one song.

But it is difficult for movie stars and TV stars to do this!
"Okay, let me see it then."

Lu Zhongqiang glanced at the file bag in Xu Yi's hand and nodded.

He is not a rigid type of person.

Although it is not clear what Xu Yi’s musical level is.

But since he has agreed, he will try his best to help Xu Yi produce this album.

But he doesn't care about the quality or sales of the album after it is produced.

In a word, even if it is a pile of shit, he will try his best to package it into a beautiful pile of shit.

But if no one buys this pile of shit, and it is still essentially a pile of shit, he will not be able to change it!

Of course, if the singer’s level is too poor, he would not agree to help him produce an album.

This time, he agreed to help Xu Yi because of Wang Jinghua, the number one agent in mainland China.

But then, when he took the file bag containing the music score handed to him by Xu Yi, he began to flip through it casually.

The originally nonchalant expression suddenly became serious!
Then after a long while, when he had finished reading all the music scores and hummed a few lines of each song.

When he looked at Xu Yi again, his eyes turned completely into shock!

"Did you write all these songs?"

Lu Zhongqiang swallowed hard and asked.

"I wrote all of them, including the lyrics and music, and the copyright has been registered."

Xu Yi replied.

These songs were already written when he was filming "Tian Long".

And all of them are copyright registered.

The registration fee is not expensive, only 300 yuan per song.

For this purpose, he also spent 1 point to purchase an entry-level arranging skill from the system mall.

I spent another 10 points to upgrade to the skilled level.

"Have you ever signed a record deal?"

Lu Zhongqiang asked again.

Obviously, he wanted to sign Xu Yi to their Warner Records.

Let’s not talk about how good Xu Yi’s singing skills are.

This level of songwriting alone is enough to make several singers famous!

He is still very confident in his vision and appreciation level!
Not to mention Xu Yi’s songs, it’s like the opening of the antique industry!
Anyone who knows the business can definitely see the value at a glance!
"Brother Lu, I haven't signed a record contract, but I don't plan to sign with any record company either. However, after this album is completed, I can give it to Warner to distribute. Of course, the prerequisite is that the fee is appropriate."

Xu Yi said.

"That's it..."

Lu Zhongqiang couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

However, signing singers was not his responsibility.

He was only responsible for producing the album.

The reason why I want to sign Xu Yi cannot be said to be completely selfless, it is mainly because I love his talent.

But if Warner really signs Xu Yi, then Xu Yi's album will definitely be released by Warner.

At that time, the producer of his album will also be able to get a certain percentage of the profits.

This share was given by Warner, not Xu Yi.

So if Xu Yi’s album was not released by Warner.

Then according to the previous agreement between him and Xu Yi, he and Warner Records can only get a fixed production fee.

There is no subsequent share of income.

But Xu Yi was unwilling to sign the contract, and there was nothing he could do.

You can't just not produce an album, right?
It’s completely fine to not mention Xu Yi and find other record companies to produce the album.

He himself is unwilling to give up this opportunity!

Otherwise, if Xu Yi's album really becomes popular, he will definitely regret it!

Besides, Xu Yi just didn’t want to sign a record contract with Warner, but he didn’t say that he would definitely not give the album to Warner for distribution!
That's why he decided to produce the album first!

As long as the album becomes popular, even if he doesn’t get any share of the profits, it will greatly boost his fame!
Then he took out a contract.

The content of the contract had been negotiated long ago.

An album has ten songs and the production cost is 50 Chinese yuan.

This price is not low.

But considering Lu Zhongqiang's level and Warner's brand, it is definitely not high.

At least it is impossible for an ordinary independent singer to spend 50 to let Warner produce an album for him.

Even if he prepares the songs himself, it won’t work.

From this perspective, the two million that Xu Yi spent on Wang Jing was still very worthwhile!
