Beijing, New Era Art Park.
The New Era Art Center was established in 2001. It is located between Haidian Park and Beijing University, covering an area of nearly 700 mu. It is one of the key art and cultural construction projects in Beijing.
After more than ten years of development, the New Era Art Park has gathered a large number of well-known domestic film and television, music, literature, and art production units, as well as thousands of large and small companies and studios, which can be called a gathering place for talents.
The famous Feishi Records is located in the New Era Art Park.
In the conference room, Lin Zhijie rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and there was a hint of irritability in his eyes.
Sitting with him on both sides of the conference table were the vice president of Feishi Records, the manager of the brokerage department, the manager of the public relations department, several brokers, and several composers and arrangers from the production department.
The topic of this morning's meeting is the first album plan of the newly formed girl group of Feishi Records - MSN Girls.
MSN girl group has 3 members in total, and MSN represents the initials of the 3 people. They are all around 20 years old, and they are both outstanding in appearance and singing.
Lin Zhijie was the initiator of the meeting, but he obviously couldn't fully control the situation.
Regarding the album planning plan formulated by the music director, there are many opposing opinions, very large!
The occurrence of such a situation was more or less beyond Lin Zhijie's expectation, but he has always been resolute and never shrinks back when encountering difficulties.
"Let me emphasize again that it was the right choice to invite Lu Chen to help produce this album. His creative talent is obvious to all and he is worthy of trust."
MSN Girls is a girl group newly launched by Feishi Records in order to cater to the young people's market.
For this established record company, the establishment of this girl group is not easy. The two girl groups they launched a few years ago all ended in failure, which caused considerable losses to the company.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of well ropes. If the group groups are not popular now, and the popular boy and girl groups are making a lot of money, Feishi Records may not be determined to form a new girl group again.
The three members of MSN were all selected by Lin Zhijie himself. In order to make this group a hit, he worked with the planning department to formulate a complete set of publicity plans.
One of the most important is MSN's first album!
As a result, Lin Zhijie did not expect that his plan would encounter such great resistance within the company.
"Director Lin..."
Yi Xiangjun, vice president of Feishi Records, smiled and said: "Lu Chen is indeed an excellent singer-songwriter, but his works are mainly folk songs, which are not suitable for MSN's style positioning, and..."
The middle-aged woman in her 40s tapped the table with her fingers and emphasized: "The asking price for one of his songs is 350,000. Who can we hire for such a price? And I believe several authors in the company Can come up with enough outstanding works.”
She looked at the three composers and arrangers signed to Feishi Records, her eyes were full of encouragement.
The latter all straightened their backs, and one of them, wearing black-rimmed glasses, nodded and said, "As long as the company needs it, our colleagues will do their best to produce good works."
After a pause, he said in an unquestionable tone: "At least it's not worse than others!"
This man's name is Fan Jun. He is the chief contract writer of Feishi Records. He is a well-known composer and arranger in the circle. He has written many excellent works, but few excellent works have come out in recent years.
Fan Jun has cooperated with Feishi Records for nearly 20 years, and his status in this old record company is very high. With the support of Yi Xiangjun, he is really not afraid to match Lin Zhijie.
And in Fan Jun's heart, he was very dissatisfied with Lin Zhijie's album plan.
Lin Zhijie's idea was to invite outsiders to supervise the production of MSN's first album and write the title song, and let several of their senior writers act as assistants.
If the person invited was a big-name figure in the industry, Fan Jun would have no idea.
What the hell is Lu Chen
A mere rookie who just made his debut, was lucky enough to release a well-selling album, and dared to offer an astonishing price of 350,000 a song.
Fan Jun is not convinced at all. He has worked hard in this industry for so many years, and the achievements of his works are well known. How can he be willing to succumb to a junior
If Lin Zhijie really insisted, he would dare to flip the table and turn his face - he can make a living anywhere!
"Yeah yeah… "
Fan Jun was full of stubbornness, and the others responded one after another, and put forward various reasons for objecting.
Their reasons were nothing more than Lu Chen's asking price was too high, his qualifications were too low, his creative style was wrong, and so on.
He almost pointed at Lin Zhijie's nose and said that he played the piano indiscriminately.
Lin Zhijie's face sank like water.
As one of the largest record companies in China, Feishi Records has experienced prosperity and recession, almost went bankrupt and was reborn from the ashes. It is really not easy to survive until now.
In recent years, Feishi Records has been seeking new ideas and changes, conforming to the development of the trend of the times, striving to compete with emerging entertainment media companies for market share, and has achieved considerable results.
However, the competition in this industry is too fierce. From outsiders' perspective, Feishi Records is a powerful company, but Lin Zhijie is very aware of the company's current problems.
First of all, there is the phenomenon of singers and entertainers not being accepted.
The number of singers signed by Feishi Records is not small, and there are several top-tier singers, but all of them are old people from the 1980s and 1990s. They are more conservative than aggressive, and lack sufficient appeal among young people.
Of course, the company also pays great attention to the cultivation of newcomers, but so far, no one can take the lead!
It was under such circumstances that Lin Zhijie single-handedly promoted the establishment of MSN.
However, he underestimated the resistance from within the company.
Lin Zhijie knew that as a music director, he touched the interests of some people, so he was regarded as over-the-top.
Encountering opposition is inevitable!
hum~
At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the table vibrated suddenly.
Lin Zhijie picked up the phone and glanced at it, his face changed a little.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."
He immediately got up and left the conference room to answer the phone.
The atmosphere in the conference room then relaxed, and Yi Xiangjun chatted with several department managers, and Fan Jun chatted and laughed with the singer's managers, looking like he was sure of winning.
With such fierce opposition from everyone, Lin Zhijie's plan will inevitably die.
Everything will go back to the original track.
After a while, Lin Zhijie came back.
He didn't sit down again, but shook his phone at everyone and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now!"
Yi Xiangjun frowned and said, "Director Lin, is this not good? Everyone is very busy. I think it's better to finalize the new plan first, so as not to waste time. The company will have a National Day holiday tomorrow!"
She thought that Lin Zhijie was playing a trick of delaying time in order to win the support of the company's top management.
Lin Zhijie smiled and said, "I also want to make it final, but Ms. Chen Fei'er is coming soon, I believe everyone knows that her new album will be produced by our company."
The cooperation between Chen Feier and Feishi Records has a long history. Any album of the former is extremely important to Feishi Records, and there is no room for neglect.
Yi Xiangjun can still measure the weight of this.
But she still has doubts: "Director Lin, Miss Chen Feier is here for her new album?"
I didn't see any notice from the company!
Lin Zhijie nodded and said, "That's right, she came here with Lu Chen, because Ms. Chen Fei'er has selected two songs written by Lu Chen for her as the first and second titles of the new album!"
What? !
Everyone present was shocked.
Chen Fei'er actually used Lu Chen's work as the title song of the new album, and there are still two songs!
She is a diva-level celebrity!
What can Lu Chen do
Fan Jun suddenly felt his face was burning hot, and he was a little ashamed.
Fan Jun already knew about Chen Feier's new album.
Fan Jun even had an ambitious idea of writing the title song for this album. Once it can be realized, his career and reputation will undoubtedly step up to a new level.
But Fan Jun is also very clear that he doesn't have enough celebrity status, and he may be able to get a quick start by composing songs and arranging for Chen Fei'er's new album. It is basically delusional to create a major hit.
It never occurred to her that Chen Fei'er's title song would be chosen by Lu Chen, whom he despises.
In addition, Lu Chen was able to compose the title song for Chen Fei'er, so it would be no problem to supervise and produce MSN's album.
Their previous reasons for objection have all become jokes!
Both Fan Jun and Yi Xiangjun felt like they were slapped in the face on the spot.
Seeing the ugly looks of these people present, Lin Zhijie felt extremely happy in his heart.
Chen Fei'er's assistant informed him yesterday that Chen Fei'er would come to Feishi Records this morning.
Lin Zhijie also just found out why Chen Feier came to the company.
To be honest, he was also very surprised, and couldn't figure out why Chen Fei'er chose Lu Chen.
Given Chen Fei'er's status in the circle, top authors could invite her at will, and few creators could refuse her.
You must know that Chen Feier has the idea of transformation for this album, the difficulty of its production must be very high, and once it is successful, the influence will be huge!
What song did Lu Chen write that moved this sweet song queen
Lin Zhijie was really curious!
But on the surface, he remained calm and said: "The MSN album plan will be discussed after the adjournment. I'll meet Miss Chen Fei'er first. Do you want Mr. Yi to come together?"
This time, no one raised any objections, and the composers and arrangers all looked at each other in blank dismay.
Yi Xiangjun felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and he couldn't even vomit.
She could only force a smile: "Then let's go together."
