Chapter 123 Conditions for making an album

At night, Zhang Jingning's home.

Tomorrow is the second recording session. Chen Ze sang the two prepared songs for Zhang Jingning, hoping she would give her some advice.

"I don't have any complaints. Both of your songs are too good to listen to, especially this song that deals with the theme of the concert. How did you write this song?"

Zhang Jingning said, if the first adapted song gave her an amazing impression, then the second original song with the theme of the concert really impressed her.

And it's different from the love songs that Chen Ze wrote before, this is a song about women.Although Chen Ze is just a boy in his twenties, this song about women is quite profound and pleasant to listen to.

Simply, she likes it so much.Zhang Jingning believes that once this song is released, it will definitely arouse huge repercussions.Especially Chen Ze's female fans, I'm afraid it's going to skyrocket.

"This guy is clearly under [-], how could he write this kind of song?"

Zhang Jingning was a little jealous. She knew that even though she was a woman, she would never be able to write this kind of song.

"Hey, this is of course due to my careful observation and in-depth thinking about life." Chen Ze boasted proudly.

After hearing what Chen Ze said, Zhang Jingning rolled her eyes, she didn't believe Chen Ze's words at all.After careful observation and deep thinking, I have never seen how Chen Ze thought about his life.Let's talk about a boy who is less than twenty, how can he think about life?
After Zhang Jingning thought about it, she felt that all this could only be attributed to Chen Ze's talent, a talent that was completely unimaginable to others.

"By the way, I heard that China's management company contacted you again. It seems that they want to invite you to make a Cantonese album for Zhao Tao." Zhang Jingning said.

"Yes, you contacted me yesterday." Chen Ze nodded.

"You agreed?" Zhang Jingning said.

"Not yet, I made a condition, if their company agrees to me, then I can consider writing an album for Zhao Tao." Chen Ze said.

"What conditions?"

"I want to be the producer of the whole album, not just write songs and sell them. And I want 30.00% of the income from this album." Chen Ze said.

"30.00%?"

Hearing Chen Ze's words, Zhang Jingning was taken aback. 30.00%, based on the sales of 100 million copies of an album, the selling price of an album is about 2000, of which there are about 3000 to 30.00 net profits, that is, the income of an album is 600 million to 900 million, Take [-]%, that is, take away [-] million to [-] million.

This, this, in the entire Huaxia entertainment industry, there is no producer who can take so much.

And this is just the lowest calculation. It is impossible for the album that Chen Ze helped to produce to sell only 100 million copies, which means that the profit he took away will be even higher, even an astronomical figure.

"I'm afraid the Huaxia Brokerage Company won't agree to this condition." Zhang Jingning hesitated for a moment and said.

"I guess they won't agree, and now I'm participating in the "Huaxia Singer" competition, and I don't have time to help Zhao Tao make an album." Chen Ze said.

"Then you deliberately set such high demands, and then waited for them to give up?" Zhang Jingning said.

"Not really." Chen Ze smiled, "This condition will be the most basic condition for me to make albums in the future."

Now Chen Ze can sell a song for 20 to 30 yuan, and an album of about ten songs.In other words, if I help write ten songs, I can only earn a deadly two to three million yuan. No matter how many albums I sell, I can only earn this.

This is already a very good price for myself a year ago.But for himself who has already made a name for himself, that would be a big loss.

Especially the songs that he helps to write must be classic songs that have been tried and tested. Chen Ze is very confident that every album will sell an excellent sales volume.

Therefore, after thinking again and again, Chen Ze set this condition.In the future, no matter who invites the song, it cannot be lower than this requirement.

Although Chen Ze also knew that Huaxia Brokerage Company would not agree to his conditions so easily, but Chen Ze believed that if they wanted to continue producing Cantonese songs, especially if they wanted to reach the level of "Broad Sea and Sky", then they would definitely agree to himself. conditions of.

······
Huaxia Brokerage Company, inside the boss's office!
"How is it? What did Zhao Tao say?" Wang Xia asked the secretary in front of him.

"Well, that Zhao Tao said that if Chen Ze didn't write the song, he would never sing it." The secretary said hesitantly.

Snapped!
Hearing this, Wang Xia slapped the desk hard: "Zhao Tao, what does he mean? Does it mean that he doesn't want to be a singer anymore, and he keeps singing against the company."

Wang Xia was very angry and communicated with Chen Ze yesterday, hoping that he can help produce Zhao Tao's new Cantonese song album.In the end, he actually put forward such a condition. If he agreed to such a condition, he would immediately become a laughing stock in the industry.

Wang Xia thought in his heart that after seeing the song "Broad Sea and Sky" written by Chen Ze became popular all over the country, he immediately realized that this kind of Cantonese song is simply an untapped treasure.

That's why he hoped that Chen Ze could help Zhao Tao make another Cantonese song album. Who knew that he would open his mouth so loudly.

30.00% income, if it is really given to Chen Ze, then it will become a part-time job for Chen Ze himself. 30.00%, also thanks to the export opened by Chen Ze.

Upon hearing this condition, Wang Xia rejected Chen Ze's request without even thinking about it.But although Chen Ze couldn't make it through here, Cantonese songs are still a kind of songs after all.

There was no such concept before, so Chen Ze was so shocked when he wrote it.But now that I know that this path works, can't I find other songwriters to help me make it?

Therefore, Wang Xia immediately made a decision to invite other producers to create a Cantonese song album for Zhao Tao.Who knew that after Zhao Tao heard about this, he immediately refused.

He also put down his words and said that he had made an appointment with Chen Ze, and that the first Cantonese song album would only be sung by him.If he didn't make it, then he would rather not sing it.

This, this, isn't this openly against yourself and the company.When did Zhao Tao stand on the same side as Chen Ze, an outsider?

Therefore, Wang Xia is very annoyed now, with a gloomy face: "This Zhao Tao, has he been popular for two years and has forgotten who made him popular? Now he dares to oppose the company's decision so much, isn't he afraid that I will block him directly? "

"Mr. Wang, I can understand your feelings, but Brother Zhao is also a veteran of the company, and he is also a first-line singer, who can bring a lot of benefits to the company. If we block him just for this matter, I am afraid our company will also There is not a small loss." The secretary said quickly.

Wang Xia didn't say a word. He also knew that it was not easy to cultivate a first-line singer like Zhao Tao, and he would suffer a lot of losses if he was banned. However, his behavior of directly opposing the company is absolutely unacceptable. , Otherwise, how will I manage the company in the future, and how will the people below see me.

"How about this, suspend all activities of Zhao Tao, all his notices and all business activities are cancelled, and freeze him for a period of time. Also tell him that as long as he agrees to sing Cantonese songs written by others, then the snow storage will end immediately. Otherwise, he Just wait to be hidden in the snow for the rest of your life." Wang Xia said.

"Okay, Mr. Wang." The secretary nodded, "Then what should I do about the production of Cantonese songs that I have already made appointments with other producers? Shall I stop temporarily and wait for Brother Zhao to change his mind?"

"No, didn't the company sign a newcomer recently? His voice is quite similar to Zhao Tao, let him sing this Cantonese song album to make his debut." Wang Xia said.

Through the song "Broad Sea and Sky", he knew that Cantonese songs can also have such a big market.With such a big market, he couldn't believe that without Chen Ze and Zhao Tao, he couldn't play well.

In addition to letting other newcomers sing this album that should belong to Zhao Tao, Wang Xia also has other ideas.He wants to tell Zhao Tao that the company does not only rely on you.
