I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 37 37. Penguin's exclusive contract! The crowd surged.

Only an hour or two had passed since this morning.

The number of Jiang Chen’s followers increased by more than 20,000, and the number of private messages he received was so many that he didn’t even want to read them.

After closing DouYue, Jiang Chen logged into the Penguin Music backend again. In just one or two hours, the data of each song had changed greatly.

Ideal Thirty, 21356 auditions, 19686 downloads.

Flowers bloom in separation, listen 26821, download 24356.

Afterscent, 20922 auditions, 18106 downloads.

Single Love Song, 51922 listens, 47189 downloads.

I suffer the cold wind for you, listen 27161, download 23696.

Trojan City, 50889 auditions, 46239 downloads.

In such a short period of time, the number of increases is more than the accumulation of the previous few days. It is indeed the era of traffic. Only with traffic can there be sales. Otherwise, no matter how good the work is, it is difficult to achieve much sales in a short period of time.

Jiang Chen sighed in his heart and saw that there were many private messages in the background of Penguin Music. He did not read the countless private messages from listeners, but looked at the official information.

The official sent him two messages in succession, both of which were news that they wanted to force him to sign an exclusive singer cooperation contract.

Jiang Chen's current account is just that of an ordinary independent singer, and the contract he signed with Penguin Music is just the most ordinary licensing contract, not an exclusive contract, so the profit sharing ratio is the lowest, and Jiang Chen can only get 40%.

However, Jiang Chen is not restricted by the contract. He can leave whenever he wants and can also release all his songs on several other music platforms at any time.

It’s just that Jiang Chen was too lazy to send it.

Now Penguin Music wants to sign an exclusive contract with Jiang Chen, and he is not opposed to it. Anyway, Penguin Music is the only one in the market, with more users than the other music platforms combined. After all, it is backed by the Penguin Group and has the largest traffic platform in the country, so it never has to worry about bankruptcy and traffic problems.

You don’t have to worry about the spread of your content on the Penguin platform.

However, Jiang Chen knew that with his current achievements and popularity, he would not receive any good treatment if he signed an exclusive contract.

He carefully looked at the treatment mentioned in the second message sent by the other party. It was indeed just the most common exclusive contract, which only increased the profit share from 46% to 55%, and did not promise support such as traffic recommendations. This was obviously a contract that wanted to get something for free.

Jiang Chen simply ignored it, closed Penguin Music, opened his phone and looked at the message his mother had just sent.

The only picture my mother sent me was a picture of Grandpa Li next door to Jiang Chen’s house, taking care of his grandson downstairs!

There is no excessive text or voice, just a photo.

But Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. Of course he understood what his mother meant. She just wanted to have a grandson too.

If he didn't get married and start a family, Jiang Chen knew that the only people he would feel sorry for would be his parents.

Apart from the message from his mother, the most flashing message was the one that Pu Yuexi had just invited him to join a group. He then took a closer look and found that the name of the group was "Music Home".

There are more than 30 group members!

There are several @his messages in it.

Li Jie: "A newcomer has arrived, and he is a newcomer brought in by Yuexi. It's rare!"

Zhang Ziqian: "Yuexi has only brought in one person, Xiao Qingzi, and this Jiang Chen is the second one. Jiajia, Xiaowen, Jingjing, you guys are with Yuexi, what's going on?"

Chen Xiaojia: "Please bring a great person to the group."

Li Wen: "Zhang Ziqian, didn't you release a song a few days ago? How are the sales?"

Zhang Ziqian: "It's just been released, the company is still trying to get it on the charts, the specific follow-up will depend on the results, I don't have many fans yet, the company plans to accumulate them first, don't have too high expectations. I'm a newcomer, so I'll just wait for opportunities, wait for a few variety shows to attract some fans and then continue to release songs. Jiajia, who's the new artist? Is he from your school?"

Pu Yuexi: "He's not from one of our schools, he's a great independent musician I met in Shanghai, Xiao Qingzi introduced him to us! @Jiang Chen, how are the sales of your songs now? Do you have any screenshots?"

Zhang Ziqian: "Oh, the new friend also released a song?"

Pu Yuexi: "It was just posted a few days ago, where is @江辰?"

Jiang Chen popped up at this time: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Chen, a singing anchor."

"welcome green hands!"

"welcome green hands!"

"Jia Jia said you are a great god. Yue Xi personally pulled you up. You must be very powerful."

"Singing anchor? On which platform? What's your ID? I may have heard your songs. I'll come and support you next time."

Zhang Ziqian: "My friend, you've also released a song? Which company did you sign with?"

Jiang Chen saw the enthusiastic messages and explained: "I haven't signed a contract with a company. I just live-streamed singing on DouYue. I've only been singing for a few days. I'm considered a new anchor. The new song is released on the Penguin platform."

Zhang Ziqian: "My new song is also on the Penguin platform chart. It has been half a month now, and there are more than 30,000 sales, and the number of previews has exceeded 500,000. It is ranked 97th on the new song monthly chart."

Pu Yuexi: "Jiang Chen, I heard from Haitang that they started taking action last night. How is your sales now? Can you give me a picture?"

Jiang Chen trusted Pu Yuexi, so he didn't refuse. He logged into the Penguin Music backend again, took a screenshot of the data page, and posted it in the group: "It's not bad, it was just posted seven days ago!"

The group was silent for a few seconds.

A few seconds later, messages burst out in an instant.

Zhang Ziqian: "You call this okay? Is this true? Is this true? Is this the sales in one week? The ratio of previews to downloads is too scary, isn't it? Let me search it and see."

Li Jie: "Oh my god, this is a real god! Jia Jia really never lies. I will go to the Penguin platform to listen to it too!"

Wang Xuewen: "This data is really amazing, and the potential is unlimited. Have you signed a contract with a company? Brother, how about you come to my company? I promise to make you famous. My agency is also a first-tier company, and I can get you a good contract."

"I think I've heard of the Herdsman City. I heard it on the road this morning. I also think I've heard of the Ideal Thirty in a few videos on DouYue."

Zhang Ziqian: "I searched it out. You wrote the lyrics, composed the music, arranged the music, and sang it all by yourself? Every single song? The best-selling single love song was only released three days ago, and the horse herding city was only released two days ago, and now it's in the top 100 of the new song list, ranking above me. You don't even have a company to help you with traffic... How can I live with you?"

Li Jie: "I was shaking with fear and didn't dare to speak!" "I'm listening to "Horse-Wrangler City" right now. It's really good! The number of downloads is not that high considering the quality of the song. This song should be a hit."

……

Jiang Chen immediately received more than 20 friend requests. Almost everyone in the Music Home group sent him a friend request.

Jiang Chen didn't want to add so many people, so he could only send a message to Pu Yuexi and said, "So many people are adding me, I have social phobia!"

Pu Yuexi sent a smiling face and said in the group: "Everyone, please don't add Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen is a bit socially anxious. If so many of you add him, he will be scared. Don't scare him away."

Wang Xuewen: "I'm sorry for being so abrupt! Jiang Chen, I'm the top agent of Huawen Entertainment Agency. I have more than a dozen artists under me, two of whom are first-tier artists. If you need to sign a contract with a company, you can contact me at any time!"

Jiang Chen: "Thank you!"

Li Jie: "Teacher Jiang, can I invite you to sing a song?"

Jiang Chen: "There is no plan for cooperation for the time being."

Li Jie: "It's a pity that I can't work with Teacher Jiang now. If Teacher Jiang becomes famous in the future, it will be even more impossible."

Zhang Ziqian: "Teacher Jiang, you are going to be famous! Your single love song is so good, I am listening to it!"

Chen Xiaojia: "Didn't you read the self-media news in Shanghai?"

"Did not notice!"

"Too busy, didn't see it!"

"I'm watching the news about the singing competition. Teacher Ye has it so hard."

"I can't wait to compete on stage, but I'll just make a fool of myself if I do."

"The foreigners' explosive power is really amazing. We need to invite the national team to play."

"Teacher Jiang, go up on stage and save the Chinese music scene, right?"

"It's funny that the title of Chinese pop king was finally taken away by a foreigner."

……

Speaking of news, everyone is obviously more concerned about the news about the King of Singers Contest. After all, almost everyone in the group is in the music and entertainment circles.

The fifty-year-old lady guarding the country's border is now the hottest topic in the Chinese music scene and even the entire entertainment industry.

Chen Xiaojia continued, "Jiang Chen has just started singing for about a week. He sings a new song every day, live broadcasting, and performing at the Star Moon Bar in Shanghai. If you want to hear him sing live, come to Shanghai Bar Street at 7:30 pm, in front of the Star Moon Bar. Jiang Chen will be singing in the square outside today."

"Also, Jiang Chen will sing a new song today!"

Chen Xiaojia directly helped Jiang Chen advertise.

This group is full of professionals in the music industry, so when Jiang Chen released his first song, none of them posted an advertisement for Jiang Chen in this group, fearing that it would offend them. Now that Jiang Chen has achieved success, Chen Xiaojia now has the confidence to post an advertisement in the group.

Wang Xuewen: "I'm in Shanghai. I'm going to check out the bar street this afternoon!"

Several people in Shanghai have made comments and I will go and take a look when I have time.

Jiang Chen sent a message to express his gratitude: "Thank you everyone..."

Then, Jiang Chen stopped reading the group message because the subway had already arrived at the station.

After getting out of the subway, he walked for a while and came to Pu Yuexi's house and knocked on the door.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing were all ready for today. As soon as Jiang Chen entered the room, four hands reached out to him.

Jiang Chen smiled and handed the music scores, arrangements, etc. of several songs he had prepared to a few people, asking them to familiarize themselves with them first.

After reading it quickly, Chen Xiaojia closed her eyes slightly, drew a picture with her hands in the air, then opened her eyes and took a deep breath: "Hurry up, I can't wait to start working, Jiang Chen, you are really a genius."

Jiang Chen still smiled calmly.

Pu Yuexi, Li Wen, and Wang Jing also finished reading it quickly. They all felt the same as Chen Xiaojia and couldn't wait to start working.

They really have a passion for music from the bottom of their hearts!

When they started making music, they were extremely focused and dedicated.

Jiang Chen was already familiar with these songs, so the production speed was faster than the previous two times.

Several songs were completed in just over an hour.

Two of the songs were even played once!

In Chen Xiaojia's opinion, "It's simply a miracle! Jiang Chen, after working with you a few times, I now feel that I am ridiculously strong. I will now participate in the King of Songs Contest to drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

Jiang Chen saved the recorded song and praised: "You can go as an accompaniment. With your level, you are good enough to perform on any stage."

Pu Yuexi: "Impossible! By the way, Jiang Chen, you must have a good rest at noon, and don't let down your performance in the afternoon. Haitang just called me and said that someone came to sit in her bar this morning, waiting for your performance to start in the afternoon! There will definitely be a lot of people in the afternoon, and the drainage effect will be very good."

Someone came in the morning?

Jiang Chen was slightly excited and expectant, and said confidently: "Don't worry, the performance will be great. I wrote, produced, and sang all the songs myself. I know every song very well."

Li Wen: “I believe this!”

They chatted for a while, Jiang Chen treated them to a meal, and then went back to rest.

After taking a nap and doing some exercise for a while, Jiang Chen went back to the rental house to take a shower, clean up, and then set off for the bar street.

On the subway, Jiang Chen heard several people discussing the Shanghai Bar Street. Several people made an appointment to go to the Bar Street to watch a performance. When they arrived at the station, they got off the subway with a group of people and walked towards the Bar Street.

Even before we arrived, there was already a crowd of people.
