Chapter 66 Consideration
"It seems that everyone has vision, so I'll just say what I'm here for." The situation was grim, and Yang Du decided not to beat around the bush: "As I said just now, I am now a freelance music producer, and to put it bluntly, I am a bare-bones commander." One. I don’t have a big company or a big background, but I am confident and capable. I don’t say number one or number two among domestic music producers, but at least they can be ranked among the top ten.”

"I came to you to ask if you have the willingness to start a business, and if so, would you like to cooperate with me. Of course, I am a yellow flower of yesterday, and you are a new bud of today. In terms of investment and equity allocation, If you have the intention to cooperate with me, we can talk about it in the future."

"You should also know that the major entertainment companies are very harsh on newcomers, even if you already have good popularity. If you sign a contract with a big company, you will be in a period of exploitation for at least four or five years. If a Shen, if you sign a long-term contract with a multi-year system, it can be as short as eight years or as long as ten years. You are just a money-making machine for others. "

"As for the celebrity business, it's more about youth. There are not many five or ten years. Entrepreneurship is different. You are a shareholder and you have autonomy. Why do many celebrities leave big companies when they become popular? This is the reason why I set up my own studio. If you start your own business, you can do no more work than working for a company, and the money you earn is less exploitative, which is at least several times more than working for a company.”

"Of course, starting a business is risky. I will tell you that I founded a company by myself three years ago, but I was suppressed by the stars everywhere, so that I didn't make any achievements. But this time I will start a business again, I will not Repeat the same mistakes. I have given up my previous identity and decided to put aside all the troubles and completely hide behind the scenes. The previous me is no longer the current me, let alone the future me."

"I'm just like you now. I'm a newcomer with a good foundation. I believe that the two of us will be able to turn him upside down in the entertainment industry if we cooperate. I don't know if you have fallen for me. The courage of the pirate ship."

After the words were finished like a machine gun, Yang Du felt uneasy.

Will Ding Ning be bewitched by his words?
He guessed there was probably no hope.

Because he is now an old tree that is about to dry up. He has not made any achievements in the past three years since he started his business. Everything is based on his words. Who would believe that he has failed once, and he still has the strength before, and can make a comeback?

After all, this is an industry with an extremely fast metabolism, and every year, a large number of people come in and out from the front and back of the stage.

He has been silent for three years. In the eyes of others, he has basically declared that he has come to an end in this industry.

And Ding Ning is a young seedling full of vitality, he has potential and tension, and everything is just beginning.

With Ding Ning's talent, there is no problem in entering the top giants such as Universal and Maisui. Even if he starts his own business, there must be someone more capable than him who is willing to support Ding Ning.

So, Ding Ning's hope of being willing to work with him can be said to be very slim.

Yang Du can only pray with luck now, and luck also requires hard work.

He's trying to try his luck right now.

After hearing Yang Du's words, Ding Ning subconsciously replied, "I'll think about it."

He does need to think about it.

Ding Ning has thought about starting a business.

Especially yesterday when he met with Maisui and Universal's people, he didn't achieve the expected results. He was more concerned about working alone.

Compared with signing an entertainment company, going it alone has advantages and disadvantages.

Li's Yang Du also said.

The downside is that the entertainment industry is an industry that is very particular about resources and connections.

It is not difficult for a person like him who has almost no resources other than personal ability to stand out in the entertainment industry by going it alone. He feels that the level of well-known singers in niche circles such as Lin San is still high. Just mess around.

But his goal is not just to get ahead. With so many resources brought from the previous world, if he only wants to be a little rich, then he might as well just be an anchor with peace of mind.

What he wants to be is a big star who is popular all over the country, so it is not hopeless to get mixed up to this level by doing it alone.

But the time is hard to tell.

Ding Ning predicted that it would take twice as long to become a big star alone than it would take to become a big star in an entertainment company.

After all, entertainment giants have money, resources, contacts, and background. If they are willing to focus on building him, they may be able to make him popular in a year or two.

And working alone, anyway, Ding Ning didn't see the world he was in before, and the world now, there is no one who works alone from the beginning, and can become popular within a year or two, or even three to five years.

In view of this consideration, regardless of whether the contracting company will be exploited or not, Ding Ning hopes to join an entertainment giant like Universal as much as possible.

However, now that Yang Du extended an olive branch to him, the situation is a little different.

After all, Yang Du is a well-known master in the entertainment circle. Even if he is banned and fails to achieve anything in three years, he may not have the talent he used to have at his fingertips. He must still have the basic skills he should have.

And this kind of basic skill, Ding Ning needed very much.

As a person who came from time travel, he doesn't lack lyrics or music composition, but he lacks a producer who has the ability to add icing on the cake.

No matter how talented Jay Chou is, he cannot do without the help of production masters such as Hong Jingyao, Zhong Xingmin and Lin Michael.

In this world, Yang Du is equivalent to the existence of Hong Jingyao and others. Ding Ning believes that even if he has passed his peak, such things as icing on the cake must be more than capable.

Of course, if Yang Du can still have the strength he had at his peak, he would be even more wishing for it.

After all, there are some slight differences between the two worlds. Yang Du obviously understands this world better than him, so the stronger Yang Du is, the more important he can play.

Ding Ning would be really excited if he could start a business together with Yang Du, a master figure who was once called a "ghost".

Of course, in cooperation with Yang Du, the biggest dilemma of "going it alone" is still unresolved.

Channels, contacts, and other resources are big problems. Yang Du also said that he is a newcomer now, so the advantages of working with Yang Du are not obvious compared to working alone.

After pondering for a while, Ding Ning called Yang Du back. He didn't say much, but asked Yang Du: "What can you offer me?"

Yang Du felt sad when he heard such a question.

He really doesn't have much to offer Ding Ning, because in his opinion, Ding Ning is a relatively all-rounder, with top-notch abilities in songwriting and music arrangement, but his ability in later stages of arrangement is unknown, but lyrics and music are the soul, and he has rich experience as a producer. , in front of a creative artist like Ding Ning, the value must be greatly reduced.

As for other resources, he does have some. After Gao Xuesong gave up the ban on him, he has also expanded in this area, but compared with what giants like Universal can provide, it is just a drop in the bucket.

However, an ugly daughter-in-law also has to see her in-laws, Yang Du and Ding Ning told the truth.

"I'll think it over."

Receiving a similar reply from Ding Ning again, Yang Du was not too disappointed.

Ding Ning didn't refuse, it means there is hope, doesn't it?

Having experienced all kinds of hardships in the past three years, he is very realistic and optimistic.
