Xiangshan Film and Television City was specially built for the production of "The Condor". Currently, only the scenes needed by the production crew have been built, and other scenes are still under construction.
Zhang Yuanjun walked around outside, which was quite boring. He had already finished watching all the scenes and dramas that he needed to see.
Walking outside is nothing more than not wanting to lock yourself indoors and come out to take a breath of fresh air.
While walking around, looking here and there, Zhang Yuanjun suddenly had an idea in his mind: "If we build a film and television city like this in our hometown, can we also make some contribution to the hometown economy?"
However, this idea just flashed through his mind and was immediately rejected by him.
It would cost at least a billion to build such a film and television city, and the Zhang family cannot afford that much money for the time being.
Besides, if you are engaged in catering at home, why should you mix it with real estate?
After walking around for a while and about to go back to the hotel, Zhang Yuanjun received a call from his assistant: "Come back quickly, someone is looking for you."
"Isn't the crew on vacation? Who's looking for me?"
"The people from Taihe Maitian are here, the producer named Liu from last time."
Zhang Yuanjun walked back while talking on the phone: "He is really hardworking, and he has not passed the New Year?"
"They still want to sign you." The assistant said, "Go here early in the morning."
"Okay, you serve first. I'll be there in ten minutes."
The assistant entertained the producers of Taihe Maitian in the hotel's tea room. Of course, Xiao Zhao not only served tea and lit cigarettes, but also did some errands for Zhang Yuanjun. She said: "A few music companies contacted us a few years ago, and some of them have met I haven’t met some of them, but we all had a good conversation.”
Taihe Maitian didn’t have to rely on Zhang Yuanjun, but they just thought he would be popular in the next year or two and wanted to make an album for him to make some money. He is not a talented musician, so signing someone is not a signing.
Producer Liu didn't show any eagerness to sign the contract. Xiao Zhao's moral integrity was not enough in his eyes: "It's pretty good. You have to shop around when buying things."
Just as he was saying this, Zhang Yuanjun arrived: "Happy New Year, brother Liu."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Producer Liu responded with a smile.
"You're still working during the Chinese New Year?" Zhang Yuanjun sat down.
"I'm from Yongshi. It's Chinese New Year and I'm fine. I just came to take a look."
The two of them exchanged polite words and then talked about the album. Taihe Maitian first showed his sincerity: "We can ask Zhang Yadong to be your album producer."
"Brother Yadong, isn't he planning his own company? Can he spare the money?"
"Do you know each other?"
"We know each other." Zhang Yuanjun said, "We met at a friend's party, and we often drank together. I even asked him for tickets to many celebrity concerts." He even laughed as he said this.
Zhang Yadong is one of the top gold medal producers in the Chinese music scene. He originally wanted to use Zhang Yadong to bluff Zhang Yuanjun, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yuanjun actually knew Zhang Yadong, and from what Zhang Yuanjun said, the two had a good relationship. They often drank together, and Zhang Yadong even gave him tickets.
Zhang Yadong is currently signed at Taihe Wheatfield, but he has decided to start his own studio and is now making preparations.
Zhang Yuanjun even knew this.
But Producer Liu did not show any timidity: "It would be better if we knew each other, and we can be considered close friends. Yadong is preparing for his own company, but he still maintains a good cooperation with our wheat field." This is true.
Zhang Yuanjun told him that the reason he knew Zhang Yadong was that he could completely ignore Taihe Maitian and sign a contract with Zhang Yadong directly.
Of course, Producer Liu understands this truth, and he is no longer ambiguous now: "We went back to the company and thought about it. Nowadays, celebrities pay attention to diversified development, and we also support it. Your focus is on film and television, and we are not forcing it. We can do it first." Try an album."
The other party was relieved, and Zhang Yuanjun didn't have any trouble. He always cooperated with anyone. Taihe Maitian was very capable, so he signed the letter of intent immediately.
Neither of them talked about the decline of the record industry in a tacit agreement.
Producer Liu is on the front line of records, and he has personally felt the impact of the Internet on physical records. Although discs can still be sold in recent years, and good albums can sell for more than 100,000, sales have become more difficult year by year. big.
Nowadays, young people listen to music online and use MP3 downloads to listen to pirated versions.
The current consensus in the industry is that physical records will only last a few years of glory.
Various companies are planning to transform, some are turning to online digital recording, some are turning to artist management, and some are turning to performance planning, but no one knows where the future of music lies.
According to the letter of intent, in order to ensure copyright, Taihe Maitian will not provide songs for Zhang Yuanjun. Whether Zhang Yuanjun arranged or wrote the songs for the album, Taihe Maitian will not participate.
Taihe Maitian provides production and distribution for the album, and has the exclusive right to host Zhang Yuanjun's concerts, including music fan meetings - if it can be done.
The details of splitting accounts will be discussed later.
After signing the contract, Producer Liu asked Zhang Yuanjun when the crew would finish filming and how the song preparation was going. Zhang Yuanjun said before that he also wrote several songs.
Zhang Yuanjun said: "The crew won't finish filming so soon. It will probably take a few months. I have all the song scores I wrote at home. I will ask my mother to send them to me after the new year."
"Can you hum a little bit to hear it?"
"No problem." Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while, picked a song and hummed, "Back to the starting point, your green face in my memory. We finally came to this day, the old photos under the table mat... those The heavy rain I missed in those years, the love I missed in those years, I really want to embrace you, the courage to embrace what I missed..."
Producer Liu listened carefully and said with a smile: "Campus ballads, very good."
To say that this song is so amazing that it makes him unable to take it out when he hears it is nonsense.
The song is simple and catchy.
It also fits his impression of Zhang Yuanjun, a student, writing about campus, youth, female classmates and so on.
If Zhang Yuanjun sang a song like "Mortal Song", he would 100% suspect that it was copied.
"Is there anything more mainstream that talks about the love between men and women?" Campus ballads have always been a niche, but now they are the world of love songs.
"Yes." Zhang Yuanjun changed the song, "...if I had learned how to advance and retreat when I was young, I wouldn't have let you suffer for me. At the wedding, drink a few more drinks with the person you are now."
"Huh? This song is good." But then he added, "The blur of the pronunciation is a bit like Jay Chou."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and admitted it.
"The melody is a bit monotonous, but that's not a problem." After all, he is an expert, and he will know it as soon as he hears it. "He knows how to use his strengths and avoid his weaknesses."
Zhang Yuanjun's singing skills are average, so he doesn't show off his skills in the songs he sings, and he can't show off his skills.
"Both of these are very good," Producer Liu affirmed, "Look at when we will record a demo song."
"After the new year." Zhang Yuanjun also had to adjust the time.
"Okay, if you can't return to the capital, we will rent a recording studio in Yong City and record the demo first." Producer Liu stood up, "I will make arrangements. When you return to the capital, I will ask Yadong to do it for you."
"Okay." Zhang Yuanjun agreed.
After seeing the other party off, Assistant Xiao Zhao said excitedly: "You sang so beautifully."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "You still have to say it, of course it sounds good."
"I didn't expect you to have this skill."
"I still have a lot of hands, but you don't know." Zhang Yuanjun said arrogantly.
