giants of the era

Chapter 174 The record company is facing an enemy!

At this time, Li Xueyu took out a contract and officially signed Michael Jackson to Violet Records.

The moment Li Zetian saw his signature, he was overjoyed. This is Michael Jackson, what a great singer, and now he is an artist under his company. The sense of accomplishment is quite refreshing.In the future, if the company engages in product endorsement, guest appearance in movies or other activities, it is not a matter of inviting him?
Celebrity effects, fan economy, exist in any era.

In the past, they were mainly literati and poets, but now they are mainly film and television singers.

In the previous life, Sina's Weibo had few users at the beginning, and it was useless to spend a lot of money to promote it. But since inviting celebrities to open Weibo, it didn't take long for Weibo to become popular, because fans of celebrities registered on Weibo and paid attention to it. His own idol caused the popularity of Weibo to skyrocket.Another example is that when Tencent developed the QQ chat software, it was not very popular. Ma Huateng had to personally play various roles to chat with people, pretending to be silly, acting cute and playing women in various ways.If there are a large number of celebrities registering qq accounts to promote and build fan groups, fans have to register qq accounts one after another, and then join the group, I am afraid that it will not take long for qq to become popular.

To sum up, celebrities are a very useful resource, and Li Zetian naturally wants to keep them in his hands as much as possible!
"Jackson, you don't need to worry about the Philadelphia International Records Company. Fina Lee will talk to them. You will come to Violet Records to record a new album from tomorrow!" Li Zetian laughed.

Michael Jackson nodded, and immediately asked, "Has the company already written songs for me?"

"I wrote three title songs for you. For the remaining songs, the company will contact well-known composers to write songs for you. Of course, you can also consider writing your own songs." Li Zetian replied with a smile.

"Mr. Li, I would like to get Quincy Jones, the album producer, who I worked with on my last hit album, Off-The-Wall! He is a very good producer, and You have a tacit understanding with me!!!" Michael Jackson thought for a while and made his own request.

"No problem," Li Zetian nodded and smiled. Quincy Jones is indeed a very good album producer. Michael Jackson also collaborated with him on the most representative album "Thriller" in his music career.This album has become a champion album in many countries around the world, and has spawned 10 singles that have topped the charts for 7 consecutive times. "Thriller" was later included in the National Sound Recording Archives at the Library of Congress as part of the "cultural, historical, and aesthetic record" of the United States. "Thriller" record sales reached 1.04 million copies, unmatched in the world, creating a revenue of 41 billion US dollars.As for the influence, it is even more indescribable!
Li Zetian turned to look at Li Xueyu at this time, and asked, "Jing Qiu is recording songs in the recording studio?"

"Yes, Mr. Li." Li Xueyu nodded.

Then Li Zetian turned his head and said to Michael Jackson: "Another contracted singer of the company is recording songs in the recording studio. I will take you to meet him. Currently, the company only has two contracted singers of you."

"Okay, Mr. Li." Michael Jackson was startled. He knew that another signed singer was Li Zetian's wife, so he couldn't treat her as a normal signed singer.

After a while, everyone came to the recording studio. Yu Jingqiu was singing affectionately with earphones on. She didn't notice that Li Zetian and his group came up behind her.

Michael Jackson was very shocked at this time, because he felt that this song was very good, and it was a very rare classic!

"Is this a song written by Mr. Li? It is said that he wrote all his wife's songs..." Michael Jackson was both surprised and puzzled.

After Yu Jingqiu finished singing, she took off her earphones and was slightly surprised to see so many people around.

Li Zetian applauded and said, "Not bad, you sang very well!"

Yu Jingqiu said with a smile: "The key is to write the song well."

Li Zetian pointed to Michael Jackson and introduced: "This is Michael Jackson, the second signed artist of Violet Records."

"Hi, Mrs. Li, I'm Michael Jackson, nice to meet you!" Michael Jack stepped forward and greeted him modestly and politely. Look at her attitude.

"Hello, Jackson!" Yu Jingqiu nodded and smiled. At the same time, she sized him up carefully, thinking that it must be extraordinary for Zetian's hand-picked singer to come to her mind!
"Honey, I think the recording of "I'm -Yours" is almost finished, and the second song can be recorded. Dongfang Yuqin, bring me a pen and paper." Li Zetian looked at Dongfang Yuqin and ordered .In fact, it was Li Zetian who deliberately wanted to show his talent in front of Michael Jackson, so that Michael Jackson would be full of confidence and join Violet Records with all his heart.

Soon, Dongfang Yuqin brought paper and pen.It took Li Zetian a minute or two to write a new song - the theme song of the movie "Titanic" "My-Heart-Will-Go-On" sung by Canadian female singer Celine Dion in 2! ! !
Needless to say, this song is a classic among classics!
Yu Jingqiu looked at the score for a while, her face full of shock, because the song was written so well and it was very difficult.

"Try singing, and I will accompany you with the piano." Li Zetian said, sitting in front of the piano.

Yu Jingqiu nodded and took a deep breath.

At this time, the sound of the piano sounded, and Yu Jingqiu began to sing along with the rhythm:
"Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
……

"

For a moment, everyone was amazed. Although Yu Jingqiu's performance was slightly flawed because she was not familiar with the song, it did not hinder everyone's appreciation of the song.

Li Xueyu exclaimed: "The melody is very lyrical from the initial gentleness to the passionate, to the lingering climax, to the soul-stirring and tragic epilogue. It can definitely be called a classic among love songs!!!"

Li Zetian said with a smile: "It would be more perfect if the Irish tin whistle is added to the soundtrack. The Irish tin whistle with strong ethnic flavor will make this song more melodious, melodious and poignant!"

After hearing the words, everyone couldn't help imagining the effect of adding the Irish tin whistle to the song in their minds, and they were deeply moved.

Michael Jackson was inexplicably excited at the moment, "Chronos Li is so good at writing songs, how about the three songs he wrote for me?" Michael Jackson was full of curiosity, eager to know.

Li Zetian thought of someone at the moment, because he sang the song "My-Heart-Will-Go-On", he thought of the pop queen Celine Dion, she is also one of Li Zetian's favorite female singers, and she is still A little loli.However, Celine Dion made her debut very early. In 1980, 12-year-old Celine Dion entered the music scene. She was born with a good singing voice and a super potential stock.

Do you want to develop a loli?
Li Zetian couldn't help but smiled, thinking it was a good idea.At this time, he noticed that Michael Jackson looked at him with fiery eyes, as if they were going to melt him.Li Zetian knew that Michael Jackson wanted to know what song he had written for him, so he said: "Jackson, come to record a song tomorrow, and I will ask someone to give you a new song!"

"Hmm!!!" Michael Jackson nodded repeatedly.

Li Zetian took a look and felt that nothing was wrong, so he left Violet Records.

Li Xueyu then negotiated with the Philadelphia International Records Company and paid Michael Jackson's break-up fee.

However, the other party was very upset, and revealed to the media that day that Violet Records had poached Michael Jackson, and satirized Violet Records in newspapers.

The popularity of "Off-The-Wall" made Michael Jackson a very popular singer, and many media and TV stations reported the news that night.Fans and industry insiders began to pay attention to Violet Records, and people were full of doubts.

How did a small record label poach Michael Jackson?The Philadelphia International Records Company is a very powerful record company!

However, useful information was quickly dug up by reporters.

The next morning, the "magic" paparazzi broke the news that caused a sensation in the United States: "The wife of super billionaire Chronos Li is the first signed singer of Violet Records! And Violet Records is Chronos Li. A record label for his wife!"

As soon as the news came out, it caused heated discussions across the United States, and the headlines of the entertainment section were undoubtedly dominated by this news.

Violet Records became the focus of everyone's attention, and a large group of reporters blocked the entrance of the company.

Li Xueyu was instructed by Li Zetian to come out to the media and openly announce that his wife is indeed a signed singer of Violet Records, please leave and don't affect the normal operation of the company, or call the police!
The reporters got an accurate answer and left one by one satisfied.

The melon-eaters just watched the excitement, but the record company was facing a formidable enemy and couldn't sleep or eat!

The CEO of Polygram Records couldn't help sighing: "Chronos Li, an extremely ferocious tiger, rushed into the record market. From then on, the record market will be in chaos!!!"

PS: There is another update tonight.
