The legend of rebirth

Chapter 471 National Distribution Rights

When Ye Luo said these words, he deliberately didn't turn off the microphone. As a result, his conversation with Hu Jianing was sent to Qin Shiyue's ears exactly.

That's right, Ye Luo was provoking him.

Singing with too much emotion is not a good thing, because it will affect the singer's technical use.

However, for a singer like Qin Shiyue who was already impeccable technically, adding some emotions by the way would actually add to his singing.

There was no prelude to this song, and the vocals came out together with the accompaniment. Hu Jianing and Ye Luo cooperated tacitly. Seeing that the fire was almost ready, he immediately made a countdown gesture.

Qin Shiyue pressed one hand on the earphone, which is her habitual action in the recording studio, and began to sing:
"Listen, To the song here in my heart.

Listen to this song in my heart.

A melody I start but can't complete.

A melody that begins but cannot be finished.

Listen, To the sound from deep within.

Listen to that inner voice.

Its only beginning to find release.

This is just the beginning of the search to free yourself.

……

Listen To the song here in my heart.

Listen to this song in my heart.

A melody I start but I will complete.

A melody that begins and eventually I will finish.

Oh, now Im done believing you.

Oh, I'll never trust you again.

You don't know what Im feeling.

You don't understand how I feel.

Im more than what you made of me.

What you have made of me cannot satisfy me at all.

I followed the voice you think you gave to me,

I used to follow your self-righteous guide to me,
But now I've got to find my own, my own.

But I will eventually find my true self, me. "

Song title: "Listen".

This is a very difficult song, Qin Shiyue sang it for the first time, and actually sang it completely.

It can be seen that she is not used to expressing this kind of high pitch so hard, and her expression when singing is far less calm than usual.

This was the first time Ye Luo saw Qin Shiyue perform a song with all his might.

And the effect of this version of the interpretation made Ye Luo very impressed.

Qin Shiyue is older than Chu Mo'er and Song Yan, and has systematically contacted singing skills earlier, and even released an English album before.

Her singing skills are usually inconspicuous, even Ye Luo underestimated her a bit.

Today when she exerted all her strength, Ye Luo felt amazed.

Qin Shiyue's background is too deep.

It's unreasonable for this kind of female singer not to be popular.

"I used to think that Mr. Song's singing skills are slightly better than Miss Qin's, especially after her bass range has improved, she is already a singer with no dead ends." Hu Jianing sighed at this time, "Now I know, Miss Qin There are no dead ends. If she didn't sing high notes before, it doesn't mean she can't."

"Who says it's not." Ye Luo shook his head, "As far as the field of fashion is concerned, Sister Qin's singing is far earlier than Song Yan's, and even earlier than Mo'er. This is an old cannon."

"Am I very old?" Qin Shiyue had been listening, and finally couldn't help protesting at this moment.

……

Two days later, Song Yan returned in a hurry and brought a piece of bad news.

"It's not going well." Song Yan said to Ye Luo, "Liyin is not willing to let her go in principle.

Even if they want to release the person, they don’t agree to pay the liquidated damages of 6000 million U.S. dollars in installments. Instead, they will pay 6000 million U.S. dollars as agreed in the year, plus the currency depreciation coefficient for the seven years since the contract took effect. The total is [-] million U.S. dollars. A one-time payment will do. "

"What does Mai Ruina mean by herself?" Ye Luo asked.

"Mei Ruina will hire a lawyer to fight this lawsuit. It can be seen that her desire to join Beauty Records is very strong." Song Yan said, "It seems that this matter cannot be settled for a while, and we have to argue for a while."

Ye Luo nodded: "It's normal that things don't go well, if I were Li Yin, I wouldn't let Mai Ruina go.

Anyway, you asked the company's legal department and business department to follow up on this matter, and we will bear the cost of hiring a lawyer for Mai Ruina. "

"Well, I have already ordered this." Song Yan sighed.

Seeing that Song Yan was frustrated by the trip to New York and her emotions were not too high, Ye Luo changed the subject and said with a smile: "Let's talk about something happy, your new album "Roar" has been released for two weeks, run away How many sales?"

"300 million." Upon hearing this topic, Song Yan's face brightened, and she said, "It's going hand in hand with Xiao Qiong's one."

"Not bad, is there any major label contacting us?"

"Yes, currently there are a total of nine major label record companies asking us for the right to distribute this record in the United States." Song Yan replied.

"Oh, if the price is about the same, give it to them." Ye Luo said, "We are short of money now, and we need to get back the funds as soon as possible. Don't be too dark, if you have 500 million, just let it go. "

"Don't let go." Song Yan pursed her lips and said softly.

"Why not let it go?" Ye Luo asked puzzled.

"This is my record." Song Yan shook her head, "I don't want other companies to operate it, it can only be operated by us."

Ye Luo smiled: "Didn't you dislike this record before? Why do you regard it as a treasure now?"

"Anyway, I don't want other record companies to get involved." Song Yan crossed her arms and lowered her head slightly.

Seeing Second Miss Song acting like this again, Ye Luo had no choice but to ask, "Then do you have a way to manage it? I remember that we can't distribute it nationwide."

"I'm going to the east this time, and I'm doing this thing besides running Mai Ruina. I want to apply for the national distribution rights for the beauty company." Song Yan said, "The California market is still too small. Right now it's not just My future record, if we want to promote it all over the United States, we will be bitten by big labels, which is really not worth it.”

"What was the result?" Ye Luo asked.

"I can't apply." Song Yan said in a low tone, "We can meet other requirements, but there is one limitation, and that is the number of albums to be released."

"How many do you want?" Ye Luo asked.

Song Yan said, "We are a record company in California. If we want to apply for distribution rights across states, the laws of each state are different. The minimum requirement is that we release [-] records with sales of more than one million in California, and the maximum requirement is six. ten.

And if you want to directly apply for the national distribution rights, you must have at least [-] copies of a million-selling record. "

"Does it include private label distribution?" Ye Luo asked.

"Including, the records of other small labels in California, as long as we operate and distribute them in the California market, they also count."

Ye Luo nodded, and then he smiled wryly, "But even if it's an OEM release, this requirement is as difficult as heaven."

"That's right." Song Yan shook her head, "With our current funds, it won't take a year or so to achieve a circulation of [-] copies. And now, small labels in California can sell millions of copies. Records with top sales are hard to come by.”

"Who made this fucking rule?" Ye Luo asked.

"Of course it was decided by the parent record company and the US government. It is nothing more than raising the threshold, solidifying the class, and ensuring their monopoly position." Song Yan said.

Ye Luo smiled wryly: "It seems that if we want to make a difference as soon as possible in the traditional record market, we still need to expand the size of the producer team. If I am alone, with a hundred records, it will not be a short time It can be taken."

Song Yan looked at Ye Luo and smiled slightly: "It turns out that Chairman Ye is sometimes beyond his reach in terms of music."

"One hundred records, if I concentrate on making... about a year." Ye Luo estimated.

"One hundred per year?" Song Yan couldn't help covering her small mouth, "Really?"

"Hurry up and get rid of this idea." Ye Luo rolled his eyes, "I'm not a robot, I still want to pursue the quality of life."

"That can only be discussed in the long term?" Song Yan asked.

"Don't hang yourself on a tree." Ye Luo smiled, "The traditional record market is not good, we still have the Internet.

Isn't Lao Yang listed?It's time for him to make a difference. (Want to know more exciting news about "My Girlfriend"?
