Chapter 213 A Little Bird
Although the singer Zhou Chuan looks ugly, he has been praised and sung well by people around him since he was a child.
When he was young, his appearance was not very valued, after all, children are more cute.
But when he became an adult, his appearance became uglier and less hair, and his teeth were uneven. Although he felt that he was singing well, this typhoon alone made him unable to get out at all!
In his 30s, he had never had a conversation with his partner. Wherever he went, others looked at him with a strange look! He entered the record company because a former boss at that time drank too much. He heard Zhou Chuan sing on Karaoke and thought that this person sang well, so he decided to sign Zhou Chuan that night!
On the second day, Zhou Chuan came to the office. The boss regretted it. This person was too ugly! So he signed a temporary contract for Zhou Chuan!
Later on, the bosses also looked down on Zhou Chuan. Fortunately, this guy had good language skills and communication, so the bosses didn't have the nerve to fire him, but they didn't want to train him.
So he has signed this temporary contract until now, and he has a salary of about 3,000 yuan a month and is waiting to die in a metropolis like Lanwan!
But today is different, a new boss Yang Ming comes!
This boss Yang Ming is not only very rich, but also very famous and very talented! After defeating Su Pinghui in Dou Song, Yang Ming has become known as the creative genius in the Chinese music circle, and even the creative king!
What made Zhou Chuan even more happy was that Yang Ming actually discovered his singing talent and decided to cultivate him vigorously!
In fact, it is a temporary contract for him or a level A contract, which is second to him! What really makes him happy is that his boss Yang Ming wants to write a song for him!
And write two at a time!
"Who could have thought of this!" Zhou Chuan was simply ecstatic.
For a singer, without his own representative work, you cannot be called a singer! You always sing other people's songs, you just cover them, how is it different from those who sing on Karaoke?
At most it is just a better cover!
Zhou Chuan has always faced this kind of uncertainty in his identity, saying that he is a singer, but he has no representative work, and even a song of his own!
Including this time, when the record company changed its boss, others went to other places to apply for jobs, he also went out to try it out, no one wanted him, and no one even admitted that he was a real singer!
"I need two songs now, so won't I be able to release an album in the future?" Zhou Chuan asked in surprise.
Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't release albums! In the future, we Sihai Records will not release albums under normal circumstances, but will only release singles!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yongcai was also stunned.
For those of you, publishing an album not only proves the strength of a singer, but also a source of income!
If you don’t release albums or sell records, then what money will your record company make? Yang Ming actually said that he won’t release albums in the future, so wouldn’t this record company lose to death?
In fact, Yang Ming’s decision is also the current dilemma of the record industry. In this society, there is digital music and electronic music. Just take it out and download it on your phone, and listen to it online. Who would buy a record?
Jay Chou, the superstar in his previous life, decided not to release albums in the future, but only singles!
As for how to make money, there are actually many ways. If you hold a concert, do the surrounding area, and then do your best to sell the singles in electronic versions, making money is not difficult!
Yang Ming said, "Vinyl records were eliminated by cassettes, and cassettes were eliminated by CDs. Sooner or later, the CDs will be completely eliminated by digital music! Now the fidelity effect of digital music is no less than the effect of discs. Who else can listen to discs? So everyone should change their minds and do their best to manage singles! The first thing after the establishment of Sihai Records is to jointly organize a national talent show with Lanwan TV. You must cooperate with you at that time!"
Zhao Yongcai also knew the current dilemma of the record industry. When he heard Yang Ming's plan to rebirth with his broken arm, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he could only nod.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "The record industry will not die even if it is not dead! In fact, if a singer releases albums, this phenomenon will be eliminated sooner or later!"
In the past, those singers and even superstars, there are about 10 songs in an album, how many are really good? How many are they really passed down?
Except for two or three songs, most of the others are just a subtitle!
In the era of cassettes and discs, this is actually a bundled sale! If you buy my good songs, you must buy bad songs, and good songs and bad songs are tied together to sell!
But now the digital age is different. A good song will soon stand out, and those bad songs that are just making up for ten songs will be shot into the bottomless abyss in a blink of an eye!
So it doesn’t make sense to post such an album! Now is the era of singles, and a single has achieved success and fame!
Zhou Chuan thought it made sense when he heard this. Although it was his dream to release an album, he could understand it even if everyone stopped publishing it.
"Let me do this, I'm going to the next place soon. When the car is on the road, I'll help you write these two songs, and you can add me a WeChat friend."
After adding friends, Yang Ming, Sunny, and Song Dong’s representative He Lin left Time Records. They also had to go to the Binjiang Film Filming Base, which was relatively far away and needed to take a three-hour car.
Yang Ming did not drive his own sports car, so he followed Sunny into a official car. While the car was on the road, he buried his head in writing two songs.
Sunny and He Lin really admire Yang Ming. This person is really talented. It is so difficult for someone to write a good song. Yang Ming wrote two good songs in a while.
He Lin stretched her head and looked at it, and immediately smiled with a red face, "How could there be such a song, Little Bird?"
This woman didn't know what aspects of her thoughts were thinking.
Yang Ming didn't care and laughed, "You go to KTV soon and you will find that many people are singing this song!"
As he said, he picked up his mobile phone and took out the lyrics and scores of the two songs clearly, and then sent them to Zhou Chuan.
Zhou Chuan was waiting at the record company. After receiving these two songs, he thanked him and immediately started singing.
"I Am a Little Bird", this song is really catchy. Zhou Chuan was confirmed after singing it once, and this song will definitely be popular!
He prefers another song, which seems to be created for him personally, called "I'm ugly, but I'm gentle". The lyrics of this song are simply written into his heart, and they are very touching when sung!
"I'm ugly, but I'm gentle. I'm cold on the outside and fanatic on the inside, that's me!"
"I'm ugly, but I have music and beer. A little humble and a little cowardly, but never back down!"
After Zhou Chuan finished singing together, he was already in tears.
Chapter completed!
