Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Zhou Rui had no objection to Liang Liang coming to Qinghe. Some things were better discussed in person. new

Moreover, if suitable, this person can also have a wonderful use.

The other party is a professional, or a professional from an Internet company, and he moves very quickly.

At six o'clock the next morning, I drove from Shencheng. After a dusty journey, I arrived at noon and then rang Zhou Rui's phone.

"Teacher Ari, I have arrived in Qinghe County!"

"There is a milk tea shop over there on Wenzhong Road. Let's meet there."

“Would you like me to book a hotel?”

"No, just a milk tea shop."

There are no so-called cafes in the small county town, but there are milk tea shops, which have replaced many of the functions of cafes.

Liang Liang is really not used to it. Although QQ Music is a disadvantaged group in the industry, they are backed by the parent company after all, and they belong to the "platform" side in the music world.

In the past, interviews with various artists and copyright holders were always held in the most luxurious hotels in big cities, eating the most expensive food, drinking the best wine, and having the most fun.

Ahem

At this time, I was holding a briefcase and sitting awkwardly in a corner of the milk tea shop, feeling out of place in this small county.

Mainly because I have met artists in the past, and they don’t live in the county.

However, Liang Liang did not slack off at all. On the contrary, he paid more and more attention to this meeting. The less "insider" Teacher Ari behaved, which meant that the more points about the teacher could be discovered. New 𝟼𝟿 Book Bar→𝟼𝟿𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚡.𝚌𝚘𝚖

After sitting for about ten minutes, a refreshing young man walked into the milk tea shop.

Although he had only seen the ferocious appearance in the video, Liang Liang felt that this person should be the real owner.

Otherwise, this temperament fits the feeling of a young genius.

"Hello Teacher Ari, I am the operations manager of QQ Music. This is my business card."

Zhou Rui took the business card: "What would you like to drink?"

"no, I'm fine."

"You won't be allowed to sit down if you don't order a drink."

""

Zhou Rui ordered Liang Liang a cup of the signature "Big Mac Bobo Immortal Grass Red Bean Milk Tea", and ordered a glass of ice water for himself. While waiting for the milk tea, Zhou Rui got straight to the point:

"You said on the phone yesterday that you wanted to change the way of cooperation. Let's talk about it."

Liang Liang sat upright and said, "Teacher Ari, before we talk, I have an important question to ask. How many works do you currently have, including those that are unpublished?"

Zhou Rui counted in his mind: "There are about seven or eight songs that have been recorded, and there are probably about ten songs that have registered copyright but have not been released."

Liang Liangliang was shocked, so productive? This was all done while the other party was taking care of his senior year of high school studies?

He organized his words and then said:

"When I first contacted you, I proposed to 'purchase' the online copyrights of "Sea of ​​Stars" and "Youth" from you on a revenue share basis, and then QQ Music would be responsible for combating piracy. You must also understand the purpose of the platform, but I have read After that video, I had a new idea, and I want to have an in-depth cooperation with you. New 𝟲𝟵Book →𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺”

Zhou Rui played with the famous film: "Tell me more about it."

Liang Liang said loudly: "I want to sign Mr. Ari as an artist under QQ Music!"

"Don't sign."

Liang Liang:

Hahahaha, how embarrassing!

As a platform company, QQ Music’s main business is not signing artists, but it is not impossible.

"Then why don't you decide after listening to the conditions? Or have you already contacted other brokerage companies?"

Zhou Rui waved his hand and said: "I have not contacted other brokerage companies. Cooperation is easy to negotiate. I don't need to sign artists or anything like that for the time being."

Zhou Rui's main job is currently a student, and he will be a college student in the future.

Music is his hobby and a way to make money, but after all, it is impossible for him to engage in activities, shows, concerts, or other business methods like a real singer.

That would squeeze out all of his college life.

In addition to bringing resources, the main job of brokerage companies and managers is actually to help artists handle "business" matters, plus provide logistics. This does not mean that without an agent, you cannot make money or engage in music.

And since Zhou Rui doesn't plan to open a business, why sign a brokerage agreement? Find yourself a father?

Once a brokerage contract is signed, although you will receive resources and support from the owner, it is equivalent to adding a layer of constraints to yourself. The capital will definitely find a way to maximize the benefits. Even if QQ Music does not eat steamed buns with human blood, it will definitely be soft. Hard bubble pushed Zhou Rui in the direction of "artist".

Zhou Rui would rather set up his own studio in the future and staff it all with his own people, so that he can do whatever he wants.

"So I just need a platform to cooperate with, not a brokerage contract or an owner."

Liang Liang didn't expect to be struck by lightning right after the show started. He originally thought that Mr. A Rui didn't like QQ Music's management contract.

Does it turn out that you don’t like being an artist? !

Zhou Rui helped Liang Liang bring milk tea. It was so dark that no one knew how many things were added to it, and it almost turned into a bowl of porridge.

Liang Liang looked at his "eight treasure porridge" and chose not to touch it.

"Let's just talk about the music share. Are you not just talking about signing a contract?"

Liang Liang reorganized his thoughts: "Let's put aside the signing of the contract for now. This time I also want to cooperate with Teacher A Rui in all-round cooperation and upgrade."

The first is what I mentioned before, exclusive online copyright, but it is no longer just two songs, but I hope to release all the works that Zhou Rui has completed.

In album mode.

QQ Music will provide a wave of top promotion support, with conditions similar to those of top-tier singers.

Why do you take so much care of Zhou Rui?

Because of the college entrance examination! Because Zhou Rui is a college entrance examination candidate!

This was Liang Liang's own flash of inspiration.

The college entrance examination has just ended a few days ago, and related topics have become very popular across the country, and will continue until the results are released, and even the summer vacation is over.

If the identity of Teacher A Rui is announced at this time, the college entrance examination student + talented musician + will already have two "hot songs".

What a big topic this must have caused!

What does QQ Music need most now? That’s a new user! Just take a bite from the market and be that rising star.

And aren’t the 10 million college entrance examination students across the country the most valuable, the most energetic, and representing the “new users” of the future?

No, it’s not just this year. Good music works have a life span of far more than one year. As long as the exclusive copyright is in the hands of QQ Music, every year before and after the college entrance examination season, millions of candidates will open QQ Music and listen to the legendary high school geniuses. The songs I wrote, especially the song "Chasing Dreams with an Innocent Heart".

Just like a snowball, there will be more and more of these valuable “new users”.

After listening to Liang Liang's thoughts, Zhou Rui thought to himself that this guy is indeed very flexible.

College entrance examination students, or college students, although they are very poor and very clear, their mental state is often unstable.

But it does represent something that capital values ​​​​extremely.

That is the future market.

Why do some local telecommunications companies issue free phone cards to college freshmen and provide low-price packages that are impossible to find on the market?

Some banks will also take the initiative to contact schools and proactively apply for students' first bank cards, even if the students are very poor?

This is all to cultivate user habits in advance and seize the future market.

There are many people who understand this, but few who can find a way to do it.

Liang Liang found one.
