125 June opponents
"Brother Fan, this is Fang Wenshan." Jay Chou said, "I read his works and they were very good, so I brought him here this time."
After looking at the man with a mustache in front of him and confirming that it was Fang Wenshan from his memory, Ye Fan said: "I have read it too, and it is indeed well written."
Seeing Ye Fan himself, Fang Wenshan was a little excited. Who is Ye Fan? Now recognized as the new king of the Chinese music scene, he did not expect that it was Ye Fan who was looking for a lyricist.
Fang Wenshan said: "Hello Mr. Ye, nice to meet you. I like your songs very much."
Ye Fan smiled and replied: "Nice to meet you too. Since you and Jielun came to the mainland, have you agreed to come to my studio?"
Fang Wenshan glanced at Jay Chou and said: "Yes, I do. Jay Chou told me all about his situation. I feel that I am very similar to him. In Wanwan, there is no talent. In this case, why not come out and give it a try?"
, and I heard from Jie Lun that Mr. Ye is very good to his subordinates."
Ye Fan nodded and said: "I just provided a platform. The most important thing is that you have the ability. Since you are willing to stay, then sign the contract according to the standards of the industry. What do you think?"
Fang Wenshan agreed without hesitation. At this time, he was already 29 years old. He was a wage earner with nothing before and had no money in his bank card.
Now he has such a good opportunity. Not only can he get a stable salary, but he can also do a job he likes. It is already a qualitative leap compared to what he thought before.
Finally, Fang Wenshan signed a five-year contract. After the contract expires, Ye Fan Studio has the first right to renew the contract.
Seeing the terms of the contract, in addition to a fixed salary, Ye Fan Studio also provided food and accommodation. Fang Wenshan was very satisfied. Although the fixed salary was not comparable to the salary in Wanwan, it was already very high in the mainland.
Moreover, the contract also promised that as long as the lyrics written by Fang Wenshan are selected, a royalties of 2,000 yuan will be paid in advance for each song. If the album is sold well, there will be more shares. This condition is very difficult for an unknown lyricist.
Said it was already very generous.
Ye Fan saw that the contract had been signed and said: "You will mainly partner with Jay Lun and write lyrics for him. I will contact you if necessary. In addition, the studio has received lyrics writing jobs, so you can also try it.
"
Fang Wenshan knew that Ye Fan was an "original singer" and his songs had always been written and composed by himself.
Fang Wenshan was not disappointed when he heard this. He had been discussing music with Jay Chou during this period, and he learned that Jay Chou was also a very talented singer, and he was very happy to cooperate with him.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Jay Chou thought of something and said to Ye Fan: "Brother Fan, when I came back I heard that Xie Xiaofeng was going to release a new album today. It's called "My Attitude" and it's very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
.”
"Release the new album on June 6th?" Ye Fan said with a smile: "Does it mean a great success in June and Sixth? It's really a good time. It seems that he only promoted it in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and probably not in the mainland.
Promote it, otherwise I will definitely receive the news.”
"Yes, I also saw their promotion in Wanwan, and that's when I found out about the news." Jay Chou said: "This is a Cantonese album. Except for Guangzhou, no one in other parts of the mainland has listened to it.
The mainland has been promoting it in a big way.”
Ye Fan had no impression of Xie Xiaofeng's album. It must have been dumped on the street, and Xie Xiaofeng's masterpieces were only a few songs. Ye Fan was not afraid. He said with disdain: "Ignore him. If he doesn't have the ability, choose the day when the album is released."
No matter how good it is, it’s useless.”
However, Jay Chou's words reminded Ye Fan that it was time to find out which big-name singers would release songs in June. Thinking of this, Ye Fan picked up the phone and called Xu Zhongmin.
"It's Xiao Fan, what do you want from me?" Xu Zhongmin heard the voice on the phone ask.
Ye Fan said: "Mr. Xu, I would like to know which big-name singers will release albums in June."
Xu Zhongmin smiled and said: "I thought you were confident in your album, so you didn't care about this matter. But I have found out a long time ago that there are many singers who will release albums in June, but those who are capable will
Those ones."
Xu Zhongmin then told Ye Fan the information he had learned.
On June 11, Zhang Huimei released her new album "Bad Boy".
Tai Ziji releases new album "Never Talk About It! I Love You"
On June 26, Aaron Kwok released his new album "The Call of Love".
After hearing about Zhang Huimei and one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Ye Fan felt that these two people could be used as his stepping stones.
Because except for Zhang Huimei's album, which is of good quality, the two albums of Tai Ziji and Guo Fucheng can only be said to be of average quality.
Don't look at the lack of big-name singers. After all, big-name singers know it well and will stagger the release times of each other's albums to avoid competing with each other, thus affecting the reputation of the album and themselves.
People like Ye Fan who want to find someone to challenge him when releasing a new album are an exception in the music industry.
Ye Fan also heard the names of Yang Qianhua, Wang Lihong, Tao Zhe and others, but at this time they had either just debuted, or they had just debuted, and now they had no ability to compete with Ye Fan.
Fortunately, there are still many singers who are releasing new albums in July and August. As long as Ye Fan's album dominates the charts for long enough, there will only be more and more stepping stones.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan said to Xu Zhongmin with high spirits: "Let's arrange the songs to hit the charts as soon as possible, and speed up the production of the album. Try to release it before the 26th, don't wait until the 30th."
Xu Zhongmin also knows what day the 30th is. Let alone the singer releasing an album on that day, nothing can compare to the big event on July 1st. Everyone's attention will be attracted by this big event.
So Xu Zhongmin replied: "I know that the album should be almost finished by then. There is still some time between the release of the album and just three songs to hit the charts. Have you thought about which three songs to use?"
Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "Let's use the three songs "Young Battlefield", "The Most Beautiful Sun" and "Fly Higher" to make the list. We will focus on promoting these songs to help students taking the college entrance examination.
.”
"I understand, don't worry about this." Xu Zhongmin replied: "Do you still have time to participate in other programs to promote it?"
Ye Fan said: "You should give priority to looking for evening and weekend programs. I can attend them when I have time."
Xu Zhongmin readily agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he arranged for someone to contact the program.
Ye Fan hung up the phone and looked at Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan looking at him.
Ye Fan asked in confusion: "What are you looking at me for?"
Fang Wenshan immediately said: "Mr. Ye, Jay just told me that he wanted to listen to your new album first. He was too embarrassed to tell you, so let me do it."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Hearing Fang Wenshan's words, Jay Chou suddenly blushed, and quickly denied it three times and said: "It's Wenshan who wants to hear it in advance, it's none of my business."
Fang Wenshan was not to be outdone and said: "You first said that you were very curious and wanted to listen to Mr. Ye's new song in advance, and then I said that I was the same. Since you don't dare to ask, then I will ask for you. You
Don't say you don't want to."
Jay Chou really wanted to say no, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them out. He is not very good at lying yet.
Ye Fan looked at the two of them funny and said, "The album is not ready yet. My songs will start to hit the charts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You will be able to hear them soon, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."
After saying that, Ye Fan ignored the two of them, said that he still had something to do, and left directly, leaving Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan staring at each other.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person and sell me out like this." Jay Chou said angrily: "I misjudged you."
Hearing this, Fang Wenshan patted Jay Chou on the shoulder and said: "How can this be betrayal? I'm new here and I'm not familiar with Mr. Ye. Don't you have a good relationship with him? In your name, the success rate is not high.
"
When Jay Chou heard this, he rolled his eyes at him, was too lazy to pay attention to this rogue guy, and turned around to write songs.
