Chapter 222 The Age of Folk Songs
If you want to renovate the entire courtyard, it will cost more than 10,000 yuan at the current price. You should be able to get 20,000 yuan for adding furniture or something. As for other more expensive items, I will talk about it later.
Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan spent almost all their savings to buy this courtyard house.
This does not mean that they have no money. It is absolutely fine to borrow 20,000 yuan from a friend to respond to the emergency, or to take it out from the Good Dream Company and use it first and make up for it later.
As the boss of the company, there is still this right.
For Lin Zixuan now, these are not big things. He is no longer the same as he had just graduated.
But he still has another way, which is to sell the copyright of a song that letter from home.
Ever since a letter from home was sung on the Spring Festival Gala, people from music production companies have come to him to buy the copyright.
If the lyrics and composition are added together, the market price is only about 2,000 yuan.
Now that this song is popular, the music company still wants to buy copyright at this price, which makes Lin Zixuan unacceptable. This is the price of the new lyricist. Isn’t it a waste of people?
So he kept dragging it and did not agree.
Without copyright, music companies cannot release genuine albums.
As this song became more and more popular, Lin Zixuan believed that the music company would still compromise.
In this way, it dragged from February to June.
This time, the one who came to him was a music company in Xiangjiang, called Dadi Records, not a big company. It was just a few years after its establishment, and the person who came to him was Huang Xiaomao, the music producer of Dadi Records.
Huang Xiaomao is an authentic Beijinger, from a military family and a child from a large courtyard.
He is preparing to produce a batch of mainland folk songs, and he believes that there will be market prospects in the country.
At this time, mainland pop music gradually developed, many music companies were established, a group of full-time pop singers were trained, and they also had their own musical characteristics.
However, compared with popular music in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is still a big gap, not only the quality of music works, but also the production, publicity and distribution issues.
Music companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan have a mature market operation system and know how to build stars.
A singer may not be first-class in singing skills, but can become a big singer through packaging and promotion.
Think about the Spring Festival Gala last year. Once they are asked to sing it, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are unwilling to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. This is not to say that they are not capable, but the music company they belong to disagree.
In the competition with Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, mainland pop singers returned home in failure.
It is not so much a failure of the singer, but rather a failure of the mainland music production system, and a legal imperfection.
Under this circumstance, Chinese rock music and folk songs began to emerge in the cracks and became a new force in mainland pop music.
Huang Xiaomao plans to produce two types of albums, campus ballads and urban ballads.
He asked people in the circle to find Lin Zixuan and wanted to buy the copyright of a letter of family. For this reason, he made an appointment with a dinner party and invited Lin Zixuan to have a meal. Everyone gathered to discuss things at the dinner table.
Lin Zixuan arrived at the appointment on time.
Most of the dinners were people from the Beijing music circle, and they were not very familiar with them, just to get to know each other casually.
In this era, most musicians have long hair, which looks particularly decadent, especially those who engage in rock and folk songs, otherwise they will not show their personality.
Lin Zixuan is a little unsociable among these people, and they are not happy to chat with Lin Zixuan.
"Do your record company still collect campus folk songs? I have one here." Lin Zixuan asked.
"Has anyone sang it?" Huang Xiaomao said curiously.
"It should be quite famous, you are the same deskmate." Lin Zixuan said calmly.
As soon as this sentence came out, the people at the table became quiet. Many of these people were engaged in campus folk songs. Anyone who played campus folk songs knew that there was such a song you, who was at the same table.
This song was published about four years ago. It is said to be from Beijing Radio Academy, but no one knows who wrote it.
Later, someone went to the Broadcasting Academy to ask, but he didn't find out the reason. The main reason was that all the students of that class had graduated, and the students later had heard of this.
However, this song is widely sung, especially in major colleges and universities in the capital, which has become a legend.
It can be said that this song is the pioneering work of mainland campus folk songs. Many of them started to create campus folk songs after listening to this song, but they didn't expect to meet the real master today.
"Are you having fun?" A singer said disbelief.
"Mr. Lin, I have always wanted to find the lyricist of this song. Didn't you coax me?" Huang Xiaomao said in surprise.
"What's there to be a coaxing thing about this? Four years ago, I was about to graduate from the Broadcasting Academy. One night I attended the graduating class party. At that time, I was discussing my partner and sang this song at the party." Lin Zixuan recalled.
"Mr. Lin, I must give this song to me. With this song, our campus folk album will be considered complete, otherwise it will always be a bit regretful." Huang Xiaomao said excitedly.
Huang Xiaomao already believed it.
There is no need to lie as Lin Zixuan, otherwise if someone comes out to prove him lying, it will be difficult for him to survive in the circle.
The people here were stunned. You are not necessarily the best campus folk song, but it has a deep influence.
People in the circle have deep feelings when talking about this song, and Lin Zixuan is considered a senior in their circle.
"Mr. Lin, why didn't you continue to write songs? It's such a pity." Someone sighed.
"After graduation, I was assigned to a radio station, and later entered the film and television industry, so I didn't write much." Lin Zixuan said calmly.
When these people heard this, they felt a little regretful that there was a genius missing in the music circle.
This is also what Lin Zixuan sang, otherwise they would be even more crazy.
The atmosphere after this dinner was quite warm. These musicians expressed their affection for Lin Zixuan, which made Lin Zixuan think that he was much older.
After dinner, Huang Xiaomao and Lin Zixuan talked about the copyright of the song.
According to the price of Hong Kong, for famous lyricists, the copyright of a song is about 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the newcomers are only about 3,000, which is almost twice that of the mainland.
Regarding Lin Zixuan's two songs, Huang Xiaomao gave the price of the famous lyricist writer, with the two songs totaling 16,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Lin Zixuan thought it was okay, so he signed a contract with Dadi Records and transferred the copyright of your family letter and your deskmate.
With Dadi Records releasing a series of albums from campus private schools, a wave of campus folk songs has set off, and the Chinese music circle ushered in an era of folk songs. It will not be continued
