Chapter 193 Not a Good Place
Maggie Records, Chen Changhai's office was filled with smoke.
There were three people sitting in the office, namely the general manager Chen Changhai, the music director Zhao Guoxiong, and the boss of Fengtai Records Meng Quanyou.
"Old Chen, why do you have to worry about this? The trend of the times, there are not many people in KK except you."
Meng Quanyou took a drag on his cigarette, flicked the ashes into the ashtray, looked at Chen Changhai who was opposite and said.
He came this time because he was entrusted by TT Music to persuade Chen Changhai to join the TT platform.
Speaking of which, TT also sent people to Maggie twice, but they failed. Knowing that Meng Quanyou and Chen Changhai had a good relationship, they found him.
If it can be done, TT owes him a favor. For Fengtai Records, which has already embraced the TT platform, this is naturally very good.
However, Meng Quanyou is not all for himself. In his opinion, under the current situation, it is stupid to stick to the KK platform.
Chen Changhai smiled and said, "Lao Meng, I need to think about this matter again, so don't try to persuade me, let's have a good drink later."
"Still considering?"
Meng Quanyou extinguished the cigarette butt, "Old Chen, the price TT offered you was not low. To be honest, I wanted to wait and see, but as soon as the price was revealed, I immediately surrendered."
"To put it bluntly, aren't we just here to make money? What do you think, Director Zhao, you Mr. Chen have always been shrewd, why are you so stubborn this time?"
Zhao Guoxiong nodded with a smile, but did not speak. Naturally, he still had to listen to Chen Changhai's decision on this matter.
"Old Meng, let me tell you the truth."
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Chen Changhai frowned and paused for a moment and said, "I've always thought that once TT Music becomes big, it might overturn the entire industry."
"If you look at its other businesses, you will know that all of them follow the public free strategy, and when the time is right, they start to charge membership fees. With the monopoly of resources, everyone may eventually become VIP members."
Meng Quanyou said: "There's nothing wrong with that. The membership fee is quite a lot. Besides, there is also the copyright agency fee, which is not a small amount."
"It's quite a lot, but if it really monopolizes all the content, how much is the membership fee, whether to deduct the amount, let alone this, the copyright agency fee will probably be greatly reduced. When did TT ever make a money-losing business? If you get it now, you will have to return it if you don’t make it right in the future.”
Chen Changhai took out a cigarette, handed another one to Meng Quanyou, and continued: "If TT fails to meet my expectations, the fee will be cut in the future. At that time, the agency fee will still be reduced, but if we want to sell the album, It might be difficult without soil.”
Meng Quanyou took the cigarette and frowned.
Chen Changhai is not optimistic about the future, so he can't persuade him any more.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you think so, I won't persuade you anymore. But I don't think it will be the case. If that's the case, anyway, I got enough money in the early stage. The big deal is that I just don't do it in the end." gone."
Chen Changhai smiled. Both he and Meng Quanyou joined the record industry midway, and they have persisted in physical records until now.
Well, he has earned money, but if he can continue, he still doesn't want to change industries.
"Don't talk about your business, Lao Chen, you have to ask me about mine. I see that their new album on TT is not selling very well. I still have to invite a title song to be sure. .”
"You mean, looking for Lu Xin to invite a song?"
Chen Changhai frowned, "Okay, I'll ask for you, I can't guarantee it will work."
He had already proposed a song invitation for Meng Quanyou before, and Lu Xin agreed, but then caught up with KK's ban, and the matter was over.
Now that Fengtai Records left KK and went to the TT platform, Meng Quanyou brought up the old story again.
But Chen Changhai still doesn't know Lu Xin's attitude.
Meng Quanyou smiled and said, "Okay."
No matter which platform it is on, good songs are hard currency, and Lu Xin's songs can be sold, and this has to be accepted.
In just a short while, the sales of a few nursery rhymes were extremely hot, and the money flowed into the hands like running water, which made people greedy.
If you can get Lu Xin's song, presumably even on the TT platform, the sales will not be too bad.
The two chatted for a while, and Meng Quanyou left after smoking a cigarette.
"Mr. Chen, TT is on the mend. How long has it taken? All small and medium-sized companies have been pulled over. Do you think the four major records can withstand it?"
Only Chen Changhai and Zhao Guoxiong were left, and Zhao Guoxiong naturally had no scruples about what he said.
Chen Changhai said with a smile: "If they really can't stand it, we will go there with the four major records, and the price will not be low. Maybe TT will give it even higher."
"Now, apart from the four of them, there are not many companies left on KK. It's not a bad thing for us. With more locations, sales should be better than before."
Zhao Guoxiong nodded. Tang Wen's album sold double platinum last time, but that was not a normal sales volume.
KK's actions on the audition rankings were too obvious, which aroused public outrage.
However, this also shows from the side that the sales potential of the KK platform is indeed huge.
As long as it can be on the list, there will be sales, and it will increase sales significantly.
Now that KK has left so many companies at once, he will not mess around again, and it may not be a bad thing for the remaining companies.
"Where is Lu Xin's Jing Ting? Can we consider taking refuge?"
Zhao Guoxiong asked again, Lu Xin is definitely a top figure in the industry, both in terms of songwriting, arrangement, and production standards.
This has been proven many times.
But he and the companies in the circle seem to have a normal relationship.
That is to say, it is not bad with them Maggie.
Zhao Guoxiong felt that quiet listening might be a way out.
Chen Changhai shook his head, "Lu Xin is very good. A few nursery rhymes can sell more than 200 million on a platform like Jingting. You can't accept it."
"But Jingting is not a good place for us. After all, there are still fewer users and traffic over there."
He smiled wryly, "Unless we can invite Lu Xin to help each album, and use his lyrics and music, then of course there is no problem, otherwise..."
Zhao Guoxiong nodded, "I understand."
Chen Changhai didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.
Lu Xin's songs can be sold anywhere, but other people's songs are not necessarily so. We still need to find places with a lot of traffic and many users.
Lu Xin once promised that he would write four songs for Maggie Records.
There is no guarantee for the other four poems.
So, for Maggie Records, or any other record label, the listening platform, at least the current listening platform, is not a good place to go.
At this time, in the conference room of Tianle Records, more than a dozen people came one after another, and Wang Yunhai, the music director of Tianle Company, was also among them.
Seeing that everyone was here, he stood up and said, "Everyone is invited to come here today. There is nothing else but to study these nursery rhymes."
"Everyone is a master of lyrics and music. I believe that after the exchange, we will be able to write better things."
May the country prosper, may the dead rest in peace, and may the living cherish.I hope everyone can be healthy, happy and fulfilled.
