1043. Full of sincerity (4/5)
Wang Bo smiled after receiving the call from Reddy. The character of these four people was much better than he expected.
The Sunset Group became popular because of their eight songs, but only Wang Bo knew that these eight songs could be created, thanks to the excitement of the heart of the bar. Others didn’t know, and Reddy and the other four didn’t know.
So, after the four of them ended their contract with him, he had nothing to say even if they left Sunset Town directly.
But when the four of them were out of here, they wanted to return to the Flame Mountain Bar, so they didn't even think about it.
When he was at work the next day, Ryan called him and said he wanted to talk to him about something.
Wang Bo knew what they wanted to talk about, so he agreed and asked them to come to the office. There were more things to do on Monday, so he really couldn't leave here.
Schneider brought a gift this time, a CD record called deus-e-mahina. This is the first CD-published by Act, and belongs to Australian experimental musician Paul Skuze.
This record established a new path for Act Records to be dominated by innovative contemporary music. The following year, the British electronic band Muslimgauze signed a contract to strengthen their diverse style of experimenting with mainstream music.
Schneider gave this record with unique significance. After being kind to Wang Bo, he explained the CD record he sent and told him that their company has characteristics that can integrate various music styles and has many music talents who are good at innovation.
He said: "The prerequisite for us to choose a musician is his musical work, usually by listening to his lp, cd or sample. Most of the sources of these music are through recommendations from others or recorded samples passed to us."
"The Sunset Group is an exception. We found their singing voices online. To be honest, we were moved, their voices were full of explosive power, and they were real steam voices. Later we had a meeting to discuss and decided to take them to redevelop the record."
The record with the sound of the sound was not registered in any company, and the copyright belongs to Ryan. However, no one realized that the record would be so popular. Ryan and Reddy granted the copyright of the record to Sunset Town to thank Wang Bo for his help in the recording process.
Schneider wanted to re-release the record, and he said: "Improve, Mr. Mayor, "The Voice Boom" is a good record, but the quality is not very good."
"In our opinion, the production of a record is an interactive cooperation process between the studio and the musician. This is like a catalyst that promotes the musician's creativity and artistic inspiration to be completely distributed in the final production. If the musician is not the most important part, it is also a very important part."
Wang Bo glanced at him and said, "What you said before is beautiful. I was very happy to hear it, but what you said in the end is a bit too mysterious, right?"
Schneider smiled and said, "Mr. Mayor, I know you must be doubtful. Do I say that I just want to get the copyright of this record and make it for sale?"
"It's better to do this. If we are lucky enough to sign the Sunset Group, we want to re-create "Sound Roar", but after the record is released, the income earned will be deducted from our production costs and operating expenses, and everything else will be handed over to you. As for how you allocate, we won't interfere."
"In addition, if you are worried that we will ask for costs and operating expenses, then I can sign a contract with you. The total expenses in this regard will not exceed 15% of the sales income. How about it?"
Wang Bo said: "Okay, I apologize to you for my careful thoughts just now. It seems that you are so cheerful, these four guys. To be honest, I am very satisfied with the sincerity you show."
Schneider looked at him sincerely and said, "We are capitalists, but we are not vampires. As early as the beginning of Act, we knew that only by cooperating with music creators and sincere cooperation can we win-win results."
"I talked a lot with Ryan, Reddy, Tutu, and Badman last night. They were very satisfied with the conditions we gave. The only thing hesitant was not knowing whether to leave Sunset Town. These four guys thought that Sunset Town had become their hometown and they could not betray their hometown."
Ryan nodded and looked frank: "Yes, we love Sunset Town very much."
Wang Bo laughed and said, "I understand, I'm very happy that you think so. I've always been worried that you would think that the sunset traps you. As for joining Act Records, I think you'd better find a professional agent to learn about it first. If this is a good choice, then join them!"
Reddy said: "Boss, we have an understanding of this aspect. Act is really a good choice. Sony, Warner, Universal Music, Rolling Stone are even better, but how could they fall in love with us small characters and be patient with the terms?"
Since the four people made a choice, Lao Wang decided to respect them and not be a teacher.
These four people are all adults. Although Reddy is impulsive, he listens to Ryan very much. Ryan is a rational person. If he also thinks that Act is worth joining, then this record company should be pretty good.
So he stood up and shook hands with the four people one by one, and said, "This is what you deserve. Guys, I know very well how much you have paid for the music. Now I finally have a chance to soar. I sincerely thank you. It is impossible to stop you."
"Also, guys, Sunset Town is always your hometown. Creating songs requires inspiration. I think Flaming Mountain Bar is actually very suitable for creation. If you have this need in the future, Flaming Mountain Bar will definitely leave a place for you."
This is his greatest help to the four people. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.
But Ryan misunderstood what he meant and thought he wanted them to come back to sing often, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, as long as we are in New Zealand, we will go back to Sunset Town every month to stay for a while. Flame Mountain Bar is our home court!"
Wang Bo did not explain that the world would end, and he had to find a new ace for the bar.
When he was about to say goodbye, Schroeder said: "Mayor Wang, you are the most sincere boss and friend I have ever met. Ryan and the others praised you in front of me last night. I didn't agree with it at that time, but now I am convinced."
"I said this, not to be a shameful word. In fact, during the terms of our negotiation last night, Ryan and the others asked me to give you a gift that I was originally going to give to them!"
Wang Bo was curious: "What gift?"
Chapter completed!
