Chapter 129 Unrepentant (Fifth More!)
Ugo Records is a record company that has just been established for a year. The owner, Zhan Hui, was originally a person who didn’t know how to do it. Seeing that the records of Xu Guanjie and Xu Xiaofeng were selling so well in the past two years, he had a little money, so he rushed into this business.
But after coming in, Zhanhui realized that the water in this industry is very deep.
If you don't have enough contacts and sufficient support, it's impossible to play with just some money.
Just when he lost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan and was about to quit, he suddenly found a resident singer in a small karaoke hall. He sang a very good song, so he went to ask.
This little singer named Wu Hao immediately became excited when he heard that the owner of the record company was opposite him. He said that the song called "Spring Rain" was his original creation. If Ugo Records signed it, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Although Zhanhui didn't know much about music before, but after a year of experience, he still has the ability to distinguish good songs.
He signed Wu Hao, first let him record a demo, and showed it to a few familiar songwriters. He got good feedback and evaluation, and then he started serious recording and large-scale production.
Of course, according to the strength of Ugo Records, it is impossible to have such a good equipment and creative team. He just asked a group of second- and third-rate composers and composers from the company to jointly make "Spring Rain" more "gorgeous". "A few, and then it's officially formed.
In terms of promotion and distribution, Zhanhui also gathered some contacts. Through the public relations promotion of commercial radio and Heung Kong Radio in the past two days, "Spring Rain", which had a very good melody, immediately aroused strong repercussions among the audience. In a few days, Hong Kong's record store has sold more than 12,000 EPs.
Such good results make Zhanhui annoyed at how he can only make EPs and not official albums, so that he can earn more!
On the other hand, he also hurriedly asked people to continue to make records on a large scale, so as to take advantage of this east wind and sell more.
Of course, the sales of EPs are so good, so if the official album is released in Hong Kong, Macao, Southeast Asia and other places, it will definitely sell more, so Zhanhui hastily contacted several famous songwriters and wanted to find a few more songs. Passable songs, and then backed by "Spring Rain", big sales.
Although he does not dare to expect Zhang Guorong's 1.2 million copies of "The Dream of New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies" in the world, which has been easily passed by, but if he can sell 200,000 copies, it can bring a net profit of more than 1 million yuan, which is more profitable than doing business by himself. too much!
For a time, Zhanhui felt that he had regained confidence in the record industry.
However, just this morning, while Zhanhui was looking at the sales data of various record stores, the secretary suddenly hurried into the office.
"Boss! It's not good!" The secretary shouted, sweating profusely, "Xiangjiang Radio Station and Hong Kong Commercial Radio Station have all blocked 'Spring Rain', there should have been two recommendations this morning, and two special on-demand broadcasts. Yes, it's all gone!"
"Did you make a mistake? Just didn't hear it?" Zhan Hui forgot to scold someone, and hurriedly asked.
"No!" The secretary shook his head firmly, "I made a special call, pretended to be a fan, and wanted to order "Spring Rain", but they all told me that there was no such song."
"There is no such song!?"
Zhan Hui laughed angrily, and immediately picked up the phone on the desk and broadcast a number: "Hello, is this Manager Chen? I'm Zhan Hui from Ugo Records! I want to ask, our company singer Wu How did Hao's fiery song "Spring Rain" suddenly disappear? Is there something wrong?...What? Impossible!...Hey, listen to me..."
With a gloomy face, Zhan Hui immediately dialed another phone number, and the answer was the same.
He was silent for a while, then ordered, "You call Wu Hao over to me!"
"But, he's recording a song now!" the secretary said.
"I told you to call him here!!" Zhan Hui growled.
"Yes Yes!"
The secretary was startled, and ran out almost rolling and crawling.
After a while, Wu Hao, who didn't know why, walked into Zhanhui's office with a displeased expression.
"Boss Zhan, I'm recording a song, what's so urgent?" Wu Hao asked without complaining.
Because Zhan Hui was not optimistic about the popularity of "Spring Rain" at the beginning, and the signing with Wu Hao was very simple and flexible, so now "Spring Rain" is booming, but Lin Hao has more initiative.
Zhan Hui, who wanted to win over this cash cow, naturally obeyed him, so even Wu Hao became arrogant.
With a gloomy face, Zhan Hui got up and walked to Wu Hao's side: "You told me that there is no problem with "Spring Rain", you wrote the lyrics and music!"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Wu Hao's eyes were full of innocence.
"To you. Mom!" Zhan Hui slapped him with a slap, "You bastard, are you playing with me?"
Wu Hao was beaten with gold stars on his face.
When he woke up, he covered his face and said inexplicably, "Are you crazy? Why beat people?!"
"Hit you? I want to beat you more violently!" Zhan Hui grabbed his shirt, "Bastard, you plagiarized other people's songs, and now they have been prosecuted! This time I have been tricked by you! "
"Hu... nonsense!"
Wu Hao said angrily, "Who did you listen to? This is what I wrote myself!"
"Don't admit it?" Zhan Hui shook him off, "Now both commercial radio and Heung Kong Radio have stopped our advertisements, and it is clear that it is absolutely impossible for a song like "Spring Rain" to completely plagiarize other people's ideas. Appear on their radio station again! They are the only radio station in Xiangjiang! Without sufficient evidence, how dare they do this?"
"No! It's mine!" Wu Hao said in disdain, "Boss Zhan, you believe me! If they have evidence, just sue me! This is a false accusation against me! I'm going to sue them! "
Seeing him so confident, Zhan Hui was also a little puzzled.
Is it really wrong?
But before he could say anything, the phone on his desk rang.
He went over to pick up the phone first, "Hello, I'm Zhanhui!"
"Boss Zhan, I'm Zheng Donghan." A gentle man's voice came over the phone.
Zhan Hui was shocked when he heard it, and immediately put a smile on his face: "Mr. Zheng!? Hello, hello! Why are you suddenly free to call me?"
"I'm just telling you." Zheng Donghan said indifferently: "The singer under your banner, Wu Hao, is very bad. He plagiarized other people's songs, and he said that he created them by himself. How can he be so shameless?"
"Mr. Zheng, have you misunderstood?" Zhan Hui pretended to be puzzled and said, "I heard people say this before, but Wu Hao repeatedly assured me that he wrote this song! Besides! Oh, I haven't heard anyone sing before him! The record has been on sale for a few days, and no songwriter has come to me."
"Have you ever carried "Bao Qingtian" and "Wulin Biography"?" Zheng Donghan asked.
"I've seen it." Although he didn't know why Zheng Donghan asked that, Zhanhui nodded and answered.
"The screenwriter of the two plays is called Yin Jun, have you heard of this person?"
"heard about it."
"This "Spring Rain" was originally called "The Imprint of the Rain", a piano piece without lyrics. It was originally made by Yin Jun for his little girlfriend... Oh, yes, his little girlfriend is in "Wulin Gaiden" Zhu Wushuang, the little girl you can see on the poster of Watsons store now. The little girl played this piano song at school in March this year, when did your singer start singing?"
Zhan Hui's heart sank, until Zheng Donghan hung up the phone, he didn't notice much.
Zheng Donghan has said so. With his status as the general manager of Poly Gold, it is absolutely impossible to deceive him. Moreover, if the little girl played in March, he only heard Wu Hao sing "Spring Rain" in July. , the time spanned 4 months!
Raising his head, Zhan Hui looked at Wu Hao, who was aggrieved, and sighed: "Haozi, you are also a talent! It's all like this, and you still insist that you wrote the lyrics and music yourself?"
"Of course it is!" Wu Hao glared and said, "It's the same sentence, Boss Zhan, you ask them to show the evidence! If there is no evidence, just rely on one sentence, who can be convinced?"
"You go out first!"
Zhan Hui commanded weakly.
At this point, he no longer thinks about hearing the truth from Wu Hao.
However, when Wu Hao went out, Zhan Hui began to think again.
Wu Hao's attitude made him think of a feasible solution.
That is, like Wu Hao, who refuses to accept the account!
No matter who it is, whether it is plagiarism or not, anyway, I insisted that Wu Hao said he wrote it himself, and it has nothing to do with me in the future.
Although I will offend too many people because of this, but I have done a good job of the album, and after finishing this vote, I will close this broken company after making tens of millions of dollars. If I am not in this industry, what can they do to me?
Thinking of this, he immediately called the secretary to come in.
"You go to the major record stores, isn't the EP of "Spring Rain" selling very well? Let's just say that we will release an album soon, and the price is 5% cheaper than others', let them buy more and sell more, sell more The more I get, the more rewards I have!"
"Yes!"
"In addition, you have to step up publicity in other cities, and you have to contact those local record stores. Southeast Asia is a big market. As long as we can sell 300,000 copies, then I will give you a bonus of 20,000!"
"Yes!"
The secretary went excitedly, and Zhan Hui hurried to the recording studio.
Wu Hao's record recording needs to be quickly accelerated. It is best to start the record production after three days, and fully ship it in a week. In this way, all the work will be completed in September, and the rest is to count the money!
Thinking of this, Zhan Hui's mood suddenly improved.
Still the best money!
