Chapter 493: Independent Portal
PUFFY is so busy that he doesn't even attend the meeting, but is held by their respective agents as representatives.
As long as a serious combination becomes popular, the combination broker plus personal foreign affairs broker will become the standard configuration.
After a while, Ye Zhao did not rush to leave, but accepted the invitation and went for supper with the staff on Sony.
When the supper was over, everyone present started to form a group of three or three and decided to go to the next place. PUFFY's executive producer Inoue also took the opportunity to ask him: "Ye Jun, do you want to have another drink later?"
"Of course there is no problem." Ye Zhao answered very happily.
So, after the show ended, the two took a taxi to the membership bar in Ginza.
As a popular bar in the club guide, it was already very busy just after nine o'clock. After sitting down, the young drink girl sat down next to them.
After a few drinks, I sat opposite Inoue and made a move to talk about private matters. The drink girl who had a great time just now immediately left a private space for them to talk.
He said a few words about today's meeting without any pain. Inoue changed the topic and asked him: "How did Ye Jun consider the contract?"
"Well..." Ye Zhao responded vaguely, thinking that it was indeed for this.
"I'm still a little confused." Ye Zhao replied.
Inoue joked with him, "Is it because he received too many exaggerated contracts that he couldn't make up his mind?"
"Why would you be worried about that kind of thing?" Ye Zhao joked back, "If that's the case, you'll just choose the contract that will set a record and make it into the news 100%.
"Yes, if there is such a good thing, there is no need to worry about it." Inoue said with a smile.
That being said, companies that are willing to pay a sky-high transfer fee are also counting on waiting for him to sign and then ask him to work more and more. If it weren't for the sake of profit, who would have spent a lot of money to dig up a useless person to provide for it?
The two of them beated the side drums for a while and tried each other. After the time was almost the same, Ye Zhao relaxed a little and exposed a corner of what he wanted to do an independent brand to Inoue.
However, it’s all adults, just showing one corner is enough.
He was not afraid that Inoue or Sony behind him knew his true thoughts. Anyway, this kind of thing could not be hidden, and there was no need to hide it now.
What's more, if you really want to be an independent brand, you won't mention the matter of production, printing and publishing. For him who has no distribution channel, he must find an agency to help with the issuance.
Everyone is looking for. Based on the principle of getting from near to far, it is also a way to first consider cooperating with an old acquaintance, Sony.
If you take a step back, even if Sony refuses, then he will not offend him if he contacts other companies later.
For example, there is no need to do too many. As long as two major record companies are banned at the same time, it is conservatively estimated that at least two-thirds of record stores in the country will not introduce their company's records.
In that case, no matter what means, no matter how good the record is, or how high the quality of the music is, if the record store is not put on the shelves, then there will still be nothing to do and there will be no chance of turning over.
There is no way, it is really difficult for people from grassroots to set up their own business and produce independently. If you want to make your little broken boat take a long time in the vast ocean of the record industry, it is necessary to find a backer.
And Sony was the backer he had liked from the beginning.
Tetsuya Komuro officially debuted through TMN in 1984, promoting his beloved electronic music in the Japanese music scene. In 1993, he gradually retreated behind the scenes and signed Ai Hui through TRF, triggering the craze of the Komuro family, which took about ten years.
From the time when TRF opened the door to Komoto Electronic Music in 1993, to the establishment of Rojam in Hong Kong, five years have passed since then. Not only that, these five years have been a full-blown five years of growth.
But even so, among Rojam's partners, local bigwigs and foreign investors can be found in Xiangjiang.
With Ye Zhao's three years of accumulation, even in terms of sales, he and the singer who served as producers are the only people who can threaten the Komuro family craze. However, in other places, 12% of the people who have been ups and downs like Komuro Tetsuya for more than ten years.
But fortunately, he also knew that he would do as much as he had. He just wanted to finish the rice in the bowl in one bite, slowly make himself stronger, and then consider other things.
If you just want to affiliate with a large record company as the publisher and establish your own independent label, with the level of his current life, it is still a chance to achieve it with just one effort.
As for the ambition of "ambulating your company into the largest entertainment company in Asia" that is now Tetsuya Komuro, who has expanded to the extreme and wants to do what he wants without being restricted.
Compared to those producers who served as several singers alone, Ye Zhao's output is not rich. Not counting the singers who intervened in the production later, until now, he has discovered and produced them all from beginning to end, only Kawamoto Makoto and PUFFY.
From this point of view, he actually has very few works.
However, considering that he really intervened in the production work, he launched two groups of newcomers in less than two years, and before the launch of these two groups of newcomers, those who listened to his ideas were not so optimistic, but in the end they all became very popular.
Even the singer he took over halfway was revitalized in his hands.
In this regard, he can also be called the kind of keen producer.
Such acumen has gained his voice in PUFFY. Similarly, such a keenness is also the reason why many record companies, including Sony, try to recruit him and cooperate with him.
After hearing Ye Zhao's plan, Inoue felt thoughtful, but in the end he didn't say anything. Of course, this is normal. Such a serious matter is not something that the two of them can hide here to discuss.
...At most, it was just a person who was exploring the whine and the person who was exploring the whine exchanged views with each other.
After chatting about the main business, the two of them changed to another store. This time they were not a high-end club, but an ordinary bar that was difficult for fresh customers to come to.
After drinking a few drinks here, the two of them said goodbye and left each.
February has just begun, and time is abundant, but at the same time it is a bit urgent.
Sitting in the taxi, Ye Zhao thought to himself that he should take action and sort out these things clearly.
