The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 165 Want to ride on the wind
Li Ronghao stared at Zhou You blankly, mouthing a few words, but in the end he said nothing.

It looks calm on the outside, but there are waves inside.

He is not a newbie in society, but an old man who has experienced many beatings from society. He was deceived into the capital and saw the darkness of many people's hearts. Now he no longer trusts people easily.

This time I came mainly because I usually have a lot of business dealings with Miao Xia.

He also said that Zhou You was from the same hometown as him and he just wanted to come and see him.

Pro or not, hometown people.

Beautiful or not, hometown water.

Although many people nowadays are fellow villagers cheating fellow townspeople, and acquaintances cheating acquaintances, I still want to take a look.

"Mr. Zhou, I wonder what the conditions are?" Li Ronghao thought about it carefully and asked. If the conditions were too harsh, he would definitely not agree.

Zhou You watched Li Ronghao stand still for a few seconds, not knowing what he was doing. He couldn't clearly see the look in his eyes and couldn't judge his emotions.

Unexpectedly, the advantage of having small eyes is that it can protect yourself just like wearing sunglasses.

"Conditions, what conditions? I don't know the rules of your industry. How much does it cost to release an album?" Zhou You was slightly confused by his question and didn't know what he meant.

"Mine is relatively simple. I write lyrics and music myself, which saves a lot of money. The total does not exceed 10 yuan." Li Ronghao had already settled it himself. He only needed the expenses related to the recording studio and post-production arrangement.

Zhou You couldn't believe it when he heard that an album cost just such a small amount. It turned out that he had heard that those singers' albums cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

"Is this little money enough?"

"Yes, I don't include the MV, otherwise the price cannot be calculated. I can only say there is no upper limit." Li Ronghao was surprised when he saw Zhou You, and explained with a smile.

"I'll give you all the money. Write songs well. Don't be burdened. There are no conditions. I just like you as a person. I like your songs. I just heard them when you were at the wine table. I even made a documentary about them." I spent millions, it was just a hobby." Zhou You said it all at once, but he was also afraid that Li Ronghao would think too much.

"Also, do you have many independent musicians? What's the current living situation?" Zhou You was a little curious.

I once watched a documentary called "The Secret of Music" that mainly talked about how a song was born. It roughly mentioned the production process of a song and included a large number of musicians behind the scenes.

Li Ronghao was in a daze when he didn't speak. When he heard Zhou You's unconditional support, he became even more dazed. Who knew that before he had time to think about it, he asked about the living conditions of independent musicians. Are all the big guys so out of touch? "Oh, the main reason is that I don't know what to say. When we first met, Mr. Zhou really gave me a lot of surprises. I used to focus on making music and didn't know much about the outside world. In addition, I had been deceived before and I didn't believe in heaven. It's a waste of time, so I keep hesitating. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou." Li Ronghao told the truth, there was no point in lying, and he wouldn't flatter anyone, otherwise he wouldn't be an independent musician.

"There shouldn't be too many people like us. Everyone is struggling. I'm pretty good and can support myself through music. Many others work part-time, otherwise they won't have enough to eat." Li Ronghao said briefly , this industry is a little better than the documentary industry, but it is the eldest brother and not the second brother.

Miao Xia was also listening. Seeing Zhou You supporting the newcomers again, she could only feel that Li Ronghao was lucky.

Sun Li has been busy reviewing for the postgraduate entrance exams during this period and doesn't know much about the music industry. This is also a channel for understanding.

Miao Xia saw that Li Ronghao was a little hesitant or confused, and couldn't bear to miss this opportunity, so she interrupted: "This is the first time Rong Hao has met Mr. Zhou, so he doesn't understand him very well. Mr. Zhou is very bold and generous, and is famous in the film and television industry. You only have a few dollars, and other investments are millions or tens of millions. If you feel bad about it, just follow the investment pattern."

When Zhou You heard this, his eyes lit up. He remembered that most of the good songs in later generations were created by independent musicians. He couldn't help but get excited. If he could support him, would there be more good music? ?
Many independent musicians have very simple needs. If they can have enough to eat, they will be motivated to create. The demand threshold is lower than that of documentaries. The amount of funds has not been estimated, but it is estimated that it will not be much.

So she said to Miao Xia: "Mr. Miao's words reminded me. I have established a documentary fund in Shanghai. The current quota is 500 million to support some independent documentary directors. I also want to set up an independent musician fund. Teacher Miao See if it works, after all you are an industry insider.”

Li Ronghao and Miao Xia looked at each other, and then looked at Zhou You together: "Mr. Zhou, are you serious about this?"

Zhou You took Sun Li's hand and said, "First of all, I like music, but the current situation is that I can't listen to many songs a year, which is a bit depressing. Secondly, Sun Li is also a person in this industry." Now, if I make some contribution, I can also pave the way for her and leave a good reputation."

"But, I don't know the specific business. I also want to refer to the documentary fund model and select a few people as reviewers to be responsible for reviewing qualifications and formulating the funding amount and conditions. It doesn't have to be too complicated. You can adjust it at any time, or if you have a good Suggestions can also be included.”

Li Ronghao felt that his three views had been subverted today. Could it be that he had experienced a fake society before, and there were still such people now?
Not only did I look back on my own bumpy life experience, but if there weren't too many people, I might have cried on the spot.

Miao Xia also met Zhou You again today. The previous projects were all investments. As she said in the past, this time she really spent money to buy her reputation, and she may not be able to succeed. With Zhou You's attitude, the music she will fund in the future will People, as long as one of them sings it, will think about the good things about traveling.

How should I put it? It's a bit idealistic. Of course, it may also be that you have earned enough money and start to want to realize your ideals.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for the independent music industry. As for the dissatisfaction of major entertainment companies and music companies, Zhou You definitely doesn't care. They are not in the entertainment industry. Besides, if the entertainment industry is so united, it won't be that big. What a mess.

Miao Xia said excitedly: "No problem, I'll make a brief draft then and try to get it out in the next few days. But I'd also like to trouble Rong Hao to help me take a look at it. Although I've had many contacts with you, I'm not as familiar with you after all." .”

Li Ronghao clenched his fist: "No problem, I am part of this group, I know the needs of this group, and I also know where the focus of support is. When I go back, I will solicit opinions from some people and try to improve it."

Zhou You couldn't help but smile, "As long as you have tools, people can do the work," he added at the end.
"Don't be too harsh on the conditions. Help if you can. It's not easy."
