the longest dream

Chapter 345
Three days later.

Beverly Hills, a recording studio remodeled from two conference rooms with a lot of money.

Yan Ruomei stood in the shed, holding a sheet music and wearing headphones. As the accompaniment tape sounded, she closed her eyes and sang: "I heard that you're settled down (I heard that you're settled down) That you found a girl and you're married now (I heard that you met the love of your life and are about to spend your whole life together) I heard that your dreams came true I heard that your dreams came true..."

The deep and melodious, high-quality mid-range timbre is like whispering and reverberating in the ear, telling the sadness and melancholy of love.

As listeners, Zhao Qiang, Liu Shanshan, Sun Haorong, etc. were all fascinated by this kind of singing.

Qi Juan glanced at Zhang Qing from time to time...

"Never mind, I'll find someone like you (It doesn't matter, I will also meet someone with similar eyebrows and eyes) I wish nothing but the best for you, too (I have nothing but the best for you, too) Don 't forget me, I beg, I remember you said (I beg you not to forget me, I remember you said this) Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead (Sometimes love lasts forever, sometimes it hurts so heartbreaking)”

The completely released sound wall has the explosive power and tension of metallic luster, and it breaks people's hearts.

So much so that Zhao Qiang, who had experienced two years of experience in the strong wind and waves, was so shocked that she burst into tears and almost lost her composure.

After Yan Ruomei finished singing, seeing Zhao Qiang like this, Qi Juan glanced at someone, then looked up at the ceiling.

But it's hard to say too much, because Sun Haorong cried so much that he couldn't make a sound.

The appeal of music is evident.

Yan Ruomei came out of the silent room, her eyes were red, she walked to Zhang Qing, hugged him heavily, and said hoarsely, "Qingzai, thank you!"

Zhang Qing patted her on the shoulder with a backhand, and said with a smile, "Thank you for what? I should be the one thanking you. Sister Mei, I didn't expect you to be able to sing this song to such an extent."

Yan Ruomei shook her head and said: "It's far from enough. The singing is too pitiful and inappropriate. I have to dig out my feelings again. I haven't felt this way for many years. I thought I was going to retire soon and forget about it. Anyway, I should get it I have won all the awards, what else am I pursuing? But this song has made me appreciate the charm of music again. Qingzi, I will definitely sing this song well!"

Sun Haorong blamed Zhang Qing and said, "Hey, pretty boy, why are you writing so tear-jerking? I heard that comedians are very indifferent in private. People who are happy on stage are bored below. Wow, you did the opposite. is not it?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "How to say?"

Sun Haorong said with a smile: "You are living a happy life and your love life is perfect, so you just write this kind of sad love song to harm us?"

Zhang Qing was speechless and looked at Qi Juan.

Qi Juan raised her eyebrows and asked him to look at Zhao Qiang.

In fact, Zhang Qing had already discovered it, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Of course, it wasn't because of a guilty conscience, there was no ambiguity between the two of them... When pinching his feet, he really didn't have any distracting thoughts, and he wouldn't pinch his feet if he had distracting thoughts...

Seeing Qi Juan's signal at this moment, there was also an obviously threatening gaze piercing from the side, making Zhang Qing turn her head and look at Liu Shanshan speechlessly...

Liu Shanshan sneered, but didn't say much.

Zhang Qing made fun of Zhao Qiang and said, "Sister Zhao, you are too flattering, aren't you? Rong Shao cried a lot because of the ups and downs in love. You have nothing, why are you so sad?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qiang came to her senses immediately, stared angrily and said, "Zhang Qing, do you have itchy skin?" Then she reprimanded Qi Juan, "The family education is not strict!"

Qi Juan laughed, then lowered her head and said in shame, "My fault."

The two sang together, but made Yan Ruomei and Sun Haorong laugh out loud.

Yan Ruomei walked up to Qi Juan, touched her long black hair on the back, and said with a smile: "People who don't know may think that you are Qingzai's girlfriend, so lucky. But I think that Qingzai has you Being a girlfriend is his great blessing! You two have made me, an old cucumber, believe in love again, so it must be beautiful forever!"

Sun Haorong cheered: "Ajuan, he dares to bully you, we will definitely stand by your side!"

Qi Juan said with a smile: "Then he must be even more afraid."

Zhang Qing refuted the rumor: "It's not that I don't dare, it's that I don't want to part with it!"

"vomit!"

A bunch of people are sick.

After the joke, the group returned to the living room of the villa.

Liu Shanshan took the initiative to squeeze the juice, just as the manager of Huaxing Records came back from the outside, everyone was talking about things.

Zhong Huaqiang is a middle-aged man in his forties. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Music. He used to be a record producer, but he is more talented in record management and was reused by Li Fangjie.

Over the years, Huaxing Records has been sinking and falling. It's really no wonder that he is on his head. Li Fangjie is really too stingy.

Basically, they don't allocate funds to Huaxing, and they also pump money out every year to lower the salary of singers.

It's almost the [-]st century, yet quite a few of Huaxing Records' singers still get monthly salaries, monthly salaries, monthly salaries...

Also, the management is very overbearing.

Singers are not allowed to appear on media other than wireless stations at all, and they are so strict.

Just like that, Zhong Huaqiang was able to keep Hua Xing alive, he was already considered a genius...

Zhong Huaqiang said to Zhang Qing: "Amei has a very high opinion of her new single. I listened to it too. It's really great. In fact, if it's not a teenager, if you change to another songwriter, even if you have super confidence in the song, it must be the first to come out. Single. After testing the waters, look at the feedback. If the response is good, then release an album. If the response is not good, stop. After all, the cost of producing an album is much higher than that of a single. But teenagers are obviously different. Every shot is completely different from the routine."

Zhang Qing said with a smile to everyone: "Who said that capitalist executives can't flatter?"

Everyone laughed, Zhao Qiang was a little angry: "It's a meeting, be serious!"

This kind of joke will affect the majesty of the big boss.

Originally, there was a problem with the company's structure, and the officials in the frontier had too much power, and they were still laughing...

Zhang Qing restrained himself, coughed twice and said, "You're right, I have a lot of confidence in this record, mainly because I have a lot of confidence in Sister Mei. Manager Zhong, continue."

Zhong Huaqiang was not moved by what happened just now, and said: "The problem now is that it is completely impossible to rely on a new company to fully release. Therefore, we must choose a record company that is strong enough to cooperate and release the record."

Sun Haorong said strangely: "Charles, you have a good relationship with Warner, Universal, and Sony. This kind of thing can't be difficult for you, right?"

Zhong Huaqiang nodded and said: "This is no problem, but in the business world, their prices are also very expensive. The publisher has to take a 95% profit share, and there is also a copyright agent requirement. If you can publish a copy in the United States Explosive records, copyright income will be very rich. In addition to mechanical reproduction rights, that is, every time a record is printed, regardless of whether it is sold or not, a share of money will be given to the copyright owner, as well as public performance rights and simultaneous use rights. And various derivative rights interests. In [-], Congress added digital performance rights interests. If songs appear on digital communication platforms such as TV, radio stations, the Internet, satellite stations, XM, and Sirius, then the copyright owner will obtain copyright interests.

In the long run, the profit from record sales is actually not a big deal, so copyright is very important. New songs must be registered with the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress immediately. "

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "The United States' status as a giant in the world's entertainment and music industries is based on this strict copyright law."

Zhong Huaqiang said: "If we have strong confidence in the record, I suggest not to engage in copyright agency. If we hand over the management rights of copyright, not only will a large piece of cake be distributed, but also the initiative will be lost. You can freeze the songs. But if you don’t agree to the copyright agency, you will have to pay an expensive distribution fee. And shameless companies will delay the settlement fee. Delays have been delayed for several years.”

Zhang Qing nodded when he heard the words, and said: "This is the normal capital practice. The contract spirit of European and American companies is almost deified in China. They really treat them as true, kind and beautiful. Is there a way to break the situation?"

Zhong Huaqiang said with a smile: "As long as the record can become popular, as long as it can continue to create huge profits, everything will be fine. The power of money is extremely powerful."

Zhao Qiang suddenly said, "Sister Mei still needs to re-sign her US record contract, otherwise there will be more troubles later."

The others were startled when they heard the words, Zhang Qing smiled and said, "No need...

Sun Haorong sat beside him, slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, are you stupid for writing songs? I really don't know if there is no Ah Qiang, you will be cheated to death!"

Zhang Qing said helplessly: "Sister Mei and you are not outsiders, they are high-level executives of Huaxing."

Yan Ruomei smiled and said, "Qingzai, don't test human nature. Now, you wrote such a good song and made me famous. If others throw dollars at me, I will not be shaken. Qingzai is my dear friend." Brother, what the hell is a dollar? But in case someone finds a tough guy, how do you ask me to do it?"

Zhang Qing: "..."

Several women laughed like crazy.

Zhao Qiang was out of breath with a smile, panting and said: "Sister Mei is a senior executive of the company, you should sign the contract yourself."

Yan Ruomei and Sun Haorong looked at each other, both of them were top-notch figures who had been in the chaotic world of Hong Kong Island for many years, how could they not understand Zhao Qiang's intentions.

This doesn't matter, the key is...Zhao Qiang is only twenty-five, so young, beautiful, and capable.

Thinking wholeheartedly about Zhang Qing, this...

But no one dared to make jokes, it was not a joke, Qi Juan was right in front of her.

Yan Ruomei laughed and said, "Of course, the liquidated damages are directly signed to [-] million dollars, whoever is really willing to give [-] million dollars to Qing Zai, I'll sell myself!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Sister Mei is worth more than [-] million."

Yan Ruomei laughed and said: "You can talk, you kid! I wanted to relax and dawdle, how cool it is to play mahjong every day. I didn't expect to be dragged to the United States by you to make a debut. Alas, I really fell into a trap!"

Sun Haorong suddenly remembered: "Qingzi, what the hell are you doing?"

Zhang Qing said: "What's wrong?"

Sun Haorong said: "What's the matter without me, you let me come to the United States?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "How could it be nothing to do with you, Young Master Rong, you also want to release a song. At present, there are only two artists in American Huaxing, you and Sister Mei. After Sister Mei's record is finished, it will be yours. In short, On December [-]st of this year, your records must benefit the bald eagle people."

Zhong Huaqiang said with a smile: "How could it be just bald eagles? The four major record companies all have the ability to distribute globally. We have to spend millions of dollars in distribution fees, and it's not just for bald eagles to buy. If Amei's this If the record can explode, we will create a Chinese miracle!"

Liu Shanshan was speechless: "Millions of dollars? This is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can do it."

"..."

Even if she wanted to quarrel with him, she couldn't say what's wrong at the moment. Angrily, Liu Shanshan hugged Qi Juan's arm and said, "Juanzi will sleep with me tonight!"

Zhang Qing turned his face and said with a sneer, "It's beautiful!"

Qi Juan lazily said: "The two concubines don't want to fight, let's go to bed with Ben Gong."

Yan Ruomei, Sun Haorong and the others almost died laughing, while Liu Shanshan blushed and spat hard:

"Pooh!!"
