Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Yun to be happy, Yang Chen immediately changed his style and said, "However, similarly, I also have two requests that Polygram must agree to."

"Mr. Yang, please tell me." Shen Yun frowned slightly, but saw that Yang Chen had already made concessions on the revenue share, so he held back.

As for whether Yang Chen will make progress because of this, Shen Yun really wants to see what requests Yang Chen can make.

Chapter 59 Working with Polymetal

Having heard Yang Chen sing, he is still very confident in Yang Chen's album. The only thing that worries him is whether Yang Chen can make concessions on the revenue share.

If Yang Chen doesn't sign a contract with PolyGram, then it's a one-shot deal between them. Naturally, PolyGram can't provide channels for people for no reason.

Therefore, if they can't take advantage of the revenue sharing, they won't bother to work hard.

Now Yang Chen agrees to make concessions on the revenue sharing, so he doesn't mind hearing what Yang Chen has to ask.

"Personally, I can make concessions on the revenue share. Similarly, I also hope that Polygram can give my fans a concession on the album price.

I don't want my income to decrease. PolyGram has also aggressively increased the album price, which will affect album sales. "

After hearing Yang Chen's request, Shen Yun did not hesitate too much, and said: "There is no problem with this, I can assure Mr. Yang that Polygram's album sales price will definitely not exceed that of any current contracted Polygram. The sale price of an artist's album."

The price of each singer's album is different, and some record companies will even increase the price after the album becomes popular, so as to obtain higher profits.

Of course, record companies are not stupid, they will not increase the price of the album too much at once, usually by a few dollars, so that fans who like singers will not stop buying it because of the extra few dollars.

Seeing what Shen Yun said, Yang Chen frowned, and finally nodded in compromise, and continued: "There is another one that is my song, and the copyright must belong to me."

"This" is related to copyright issues, Shen Yun hesitated.

Seeing Shen Yun hesitate, Yang Chen couldn't help adding: "Of course, Polygram can be used for free here."

As soon as he heard that Polygram could be used for free, Shen Yun didn't continue to think about it, and responded straightforwardly: "No problem, Mr. Yang's conditions, on behalf of the company, I agreed to all of them."

After speaking, Shen Yun couldn't help but said: "I don't know when Mr. Yang will have time, but I have to go to the company to record the album."

Yang Chen thought for a while and said: "Just for a few days, I don't have anything to do here, I can go over to record anytime."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen took a bite, and asked casually: "By the way, I still have a piano music album. I wonder if Polygram is interested in selling it for me?"

"Press?" Hearing this, Shen Yun's eyes could not help but light up, but he did not expect such an unexpected joy.

If you want to talk about why he came to Yang Chen in a hurry, isn't it because Yang Chen's piano performance has been recognized by the senior management of PolyGram's headquarters?

If it wasn't like this, how could he, a music director, come to meet Yang Chen in person for a singer who was unwilling to sign a contract?

Therefore, when Yang Chen took the initiative to bring up this matter, Shen Yun couldn't help being overjoyed, and said excitedly: "I'm interested, of course I'm interested, to tell you the truth, the piano music you played, Mr. Also heard.

If Mr. Yang is willing to let PolyGram sell and cooperate on his behalf, PolyGram will definitely satisfy Mr. Yang. "

At this time, Shen Yun's address to Yang Chen also changed, the previous you became a respectful term.

There is no division of music, Shen Yun can sit as the music director of PolyGram's Xiangjiang branch, so he can naturally tell Yang Chen's accomplishments on the piano.

To say that the reason why Shen Yun didn't show it before was just to better negotiate with Yang Chen.

Originally, he wanted to make friends with Yang Chen while recording the album, and bring up this matter again.

Now that the two parties have settled the matter, and Yang Chen has the idea of ​​handing over the piano music to Polygram for sale, if Shen Yun continues to hide it, then the benefits will probably disappear.

Shen Yun was straightforward, Yang Chen didn't procrastinate, nodded and said: "In this case, let's make an appointment to release the two albums together."

Fearing that things would repeat, Shen Yun took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Mr. Yang, what do you think tomorrow? I can arrange an album recording for you immediately."

Seeing Shen Yun's eagerness, Yang Chen didn't show any pretense, and responded directly: "Okay, there's no problem."

Next, the two chatted about specific cooperation matters, roughly Yang Chen accepted a meager share of HK$[-] for each album.

PolyGram was in charge of producing and selling Yang Chen's albums, and at the same time promised that the price of each album would not exceed twenty Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this is in Xiangjiang, as for other places, prices need to rise or fall according to where.

With the cooperation between the two parties, Yang Chen got his name and PolyGram got rich. The two sides complement each other and benefit each other.

Although in another month, Yang Chen can definitely buy a record company to release albums for himself, but if he wants to have sales outlets all over the world with a multinational music company like Polygram, it is not something that any record company can do. of.

Instead of spending a lot of money, time and energy to get a record company, it is better to cooperate with a big company like Polygram.

Anyway, the other party was only selling albums on his behalf, and he couldn't control him about other things. Why didn't he do something that was profitable and quickly gained a huge reputation?

As for Polygram being able to make a lot of money from him, Yang Chen didn't care too much. If he couldn't make the other party make money, why did he come to him anxiously?

Besides, there is only one transaction, and if Polygram made money this time, it doesn't mean it can continue to make so much money next time.

In the final analysis, the reason why Yang Chen gave in was because he was just a newcomer. Although he gained a little fame in the UK with his two piano pieces, his influence was not as great as people imagined.

The two piano pieces were only spread among the upper class in a small area. Let alone Yang Chen's name, the British people had never even heard of the piano pieces he played.

Otherwise, why didn't the newspapers and media in Xiangjiang report on him or come to follow him.

Under such circumstances, Shen Yun, the music director, was willing to come to him in person, which was considered a great deal of face, and he valued him very much.

Otherwise, how could Yang Chen ask Polygram to make an album for him and sell it without spending a penny, and also promised him a HK dollar share for every album sold.

You must know that Polygram needs to take a lot of risks to do this, and take risks for a singer who has not signed a contract. How many companies do you think can do this?

Moreover, the conditions that PolyGram offered to Yang Chen are quite generous. Not to mention newcomers, there are many contracted singers, and not many people can enjoy such a share.

To be content, to be too greedy is sometimes not a good thing.

Looking at the back of Yang Chen leaving, Shen Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For Yang Chen's identity, Shen Yun knew about it. After leaving the Xue family, there were bodyguards by his side. One could imagine how much the Xue family attached importance to Yang Chen's son-in-law.

Chapter 60

Even a big company like PolyGram has a headache for this kind of singer who is not short of money and has a deep family background.

Because people like Yang Chen, they don't release records for purely to make money, but more often for temporary interest.

As for Yang Chen, who is extremely talented, can sing, and can write lyrics and compose his own music, Shen Yun rarely meets him. Now that he has met him, he naturally doesn't want to miss it just like that.

Yang Chen is unwilling to sign a contract. Even if he forces a contract, it may cause conflicts in the end and cause headaches for the company.

It's better not to sign than to do this.

Contracts, this may be a kind of constraint for ordinary singers, but for young masters like Yang Chen, sometimes they really can't just talk about the contract.

Willfulness is not exclusive to the rich second generation of later generations, it can be found in the rich second generation of any era.
