Chapter 19 Warner
"Hey, if being handsome is a sin, then I must be unforgivable." Jiang Changsheng told an old joke that will be outdated in later generations, and everyone at the scene laughed.

He continued: "You haven't heard me sing, how do you know I can be a singer?"

Tian Xingguo talked eloquently: "Just based on your looks, singing skills don't matter, just a little training, you can listen, and the recording studio can fix the sound.

When the Little Tigers first debuted, they didn't have much singing skills. "

"What about the song?" Jiang Changsheng continued to ask.

"The songs are simpler. We have various channels to collect songs. If it is not possible, we can cover foreign pop songs. Now the information barriers at home and abroad are very high. If we write Chinese lyrics and package them, the public will not notice."

After listening to Tian Xingguo's words, Jiang Changsheng immediately understood that changing Japanese, Korean and European songs is also an old traditional art in the Huaguo music scene.

The Chinese singer Pan Weibo launched by Warner a few years later, his representative works "Gecko Walk" and "My Microphone" are all covers.

"Later" sung by Liu Milk Tea is an annual hit.

"Let me introduce you to Warner's current situation."

"Warner Music has followed the route of mergers and acquisitions since its inception. At present, our business covers the world and we are one of the world's three major record companies.

In 1991, the company acquired Wandao's UFO Records and established a subsidiary, Warner UFO. It has many popular Chinese singers and was once brilliant.

It's a pity that the internal turmoil in the management of Huaxia UFO led to a sluggish performance. The company's big-name singers terminated their contracts and left. Because of this, I was transferred to the Asia-Pacific region by the headquarters to take charge of the record business in the Huaguo region. The first task was to solve the plight of Huaxia UFO.

After I took office, I recruited Zhou Jianhui, the boss of Millennium Records, and appointed him as the general manager of Warner UFO. The company's business has gradually returned to normal. "

Tian Xingguo drank the wine in the glass, ate another piece of beef, and continued: "Warner UFO has the support of the group company behind it, and it will rise again soon.

The company doesn't have a well-known singer right now, so if you join now, you can get the most and the best resources. "

Jiang Changsheng was not excited, he asked with a smile: "As far as I know, Warner does not have any business in the mainland, I will not go to Bay Island to develop."

Tian Xingguo laughed: "We really have no business in the mainland. Once we sign you, won't we? As long as you are not hopelessly tone-deficient, I can be the master and give you the best songs and promotional resources.

You are now a best-selling author, and you have already gained a certain reputation in the mainland, so promoting your songs will do more with less.

You are Daddy's apprentice, Jian Jian's brother and Yue Lao, and I won't hide it from you, Warner has long been targeting the mainland record market.The company is already in contact with the popular singer Naying. Not surprisingly, she will sign with Warner after her current contract expires.

At the same time, we will continue to carry forward the style of mergers and acquisitions and acquire record companies in the mainland. School folk songs are very popular in the mainland. We are optimistic about this market and plan to win Song Ke's Ryefield Music. "

Jiang Changsheng nodded, no matter in terms of personal relationship or company situation, Warner is indeed the most suitable, he did not immediately agree, but said.

"Today is a good day. I will sing a song to cheer everyone up."

When everyone thought that the good days refer to Tian Xingjian and Dong Jing, they heard Jiang Changsheng say it.

"This song is called the first time, and it's for my beloved Ms. Zheng Shuangling."

Ignoring the shocked gazes of others, Jiang Changsheng began to sing a cappella.

"When you look at me

I didn't speak, you guessed it

still not sure

still does not meet your requirements
it's me who thinks too much
or are you dodging

If the choice is me
I mustered up the courage to accept
Unknowingly let the eyes start to flicker

Oh~ the first time I said I love you

Painful breathing, trembling heart
Oh~ the first time I hold your hands
Lost direction and don't know where to go

That's why we fell in love together
That's staying together

......"

Jiang Changsheng sang very deeply. For him, this song sang the story of him and Zheng Shuangling's past and present lives. Jiang Changsheng in his previous life was afraid to speak to Zheng Shuangling, and he was not sure. From the active acceptance to the sweetness at the end, it's all in the song.

After being transformed by spiritual energy, Jiang Changsheng's vocal cords functioned very well, clear and gentle, like a spring breeze, even without accompaniment, everyone listened mesmerized.

Especially Zheng Shuangling, she covered her chest with her hands, her eyes were red, and she looked at Jiang Changsheng affectionately and sweetly.

After singing the song, Zheng Shuangling didn't hold back, and threw herself into Jiang Changsheng's arms to offer a sweet kiss.

Tian Xingjian deliberately booed: "Changsheng is worthy of being an emotional mentor. He won the new generation of Jiangcheng Flower without making a sound. It seems that when you taught me, you still hid your hand."

Jiang Changsheng helped Zheng Shuangling straighten her messy hair before replying with a smile: "I do have reservations about you, mainly because I'm afraid of hurting you.

Now let me tell you, as long as you are handsome enough, you don’t have to worry about being loved, and you who are not handsome enough will never realize how active a woman can be. "

"Go to nmd!" Tian Xingjian swears.

Tian Xingguo was very excited. He couldn't wait to ask: "Changsheng, your voice is very good, absolutely top-notch. You wrote this song?"

Jiang Changsheng nodded without changing his face: "I wrote it."

"I still have dozens of songs like this." Jiang Changsheng didn't lie. After learning the knowledge of music theory, he copied dozens of songs one after another, all of which had been registered for copyright.

"Next week I will go to Zhongyang TV to participate in an interview on the truth-telling program, and I will try to sing on the program."

Jiang Changsheng also sang and talked about interviews, just to improve his social status and negotiate conditions.

"Brother Xingguo, although we have a good personal relationship, there are some things that need to be clarified in advance when it comes to business.

I can sign Warner, but there are a few conditions:
First, the record income is divided into [-]-[-]. If the album is being produced, and I write lyrics, compose music, and participate in the production, the cost will be calculated separately.

Second, I try my best to cooperate with the publicity and singing activities arranged by the company, but I have the right to refuse. This must be written in the contract.

Third, the copyright of the song is mine, and I will not sell it to the company.

Fourth, if my Chinese album can break through platinum sales, then if I release an English album later, the company must give me promotional treatment as an international first-line singer. "

Tian Xingguo was a little hesitant. The main reason was that Jiang Changsheng's share was too high. In Warner UFO, the general new singers were given [-]-[-] share, and those with potential were only [-]-[-] share.

Only first-line singers have [-] to [-] points.

Jiang Changsheng asked for a 60-[-] share, plus the lyricist, composer and producer's share, the actual share was close to Jiang Changsheng's [-]%.

Tian Xingguo didn't reject it outright. Signing the contract was originally a process of bargaining and pulling each other, and it couldn't be done overnight.

"Changsheng, I don't have a big problem with the conditions you mentioned. I have to go back to the company to discuss the specific details. Let's make an appointment to talk in detail."

"no problem."

After that, everyone didn't talk about work anymore, and after drinking and eating, the party ended.
