The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 5 Preparation for the English Album (Please read on!)

Zhang Chen's goal is simple.

He couldn't enter this door in his previous life, so in this life he would kick the door open and tell everyone that he was coming.

This time, "Youth" is just the beginning.

Being famous is not enough, gaining capital is the basis for gaining a firm foothold.

The stronger the capital, the more stable the foundation.

There are only a few ways to get ahead in this circle: having resources, works, and not breaking the law.

Zhang Chen has the memories of his past life, and there are too many people to take advantage of, so he will never be short of works.

When there is a lack of works, it means that he has almost taken advantage of you and is retiring to enjoy his retirement.

As for resources, that is more general.

The most intuitive thing is money, but wealthy coal bosses are easily fooled in this circle.

So we need to prepare additional resources.

Zhang Chen’s plan is to expand everywhere as long as the funds and energy are sufficient.

However, we still have to wait for the dividends from Warner to arrive before we can discuss the next step.

What is worrying Zhang Chen now is whether to sign with Warner.

In fact, he is more inclined to sign, after all, after signing he can make use of Warner's resources.

Of course, it is limited to the record contract, commonly known as the half contract. After signing the agency contract, you have to passively accept the daily arrangements of the agency.

As a global music giant, Warner has many benefits.

At this time, the domestic market was still too small, and overseas was his best choice to make money crazily.

Now all we have to consider is what kind of contract to sign.

In order to make Warner see his higher value, Zhang Chen is not unprepared.

He has already started preparing a new album, and it is an all-English album.

All these years, I learned English from my father and it was not in vain. I have been waiting for this day.

If you want to get better terms for signing with Warner, you have to show more impressive results.

Now the two parties are in the stage of mutual valuation, and what Zhang Chen needs to do is to continuously push up his own valuation.

The album is called "Dream", and Zhang Chen could only think of three songs:
Try Everything

Dream It Possible

"Something just like this"

It is really because of his age that there are too few songs for him to "reference". He can't be like Justin Bieber and sing about love at the age of 14, right?
It doesn’t matter abroad, but the reputation in China is terrible. The trend of the times is still conservative.

If he was accidentally banned in the country, he would have no place to cry.

There is another problem, which is the song "Something just like this", which involves the names of many comic characters from Marvel and other companies. I don't know if Warner can handle it.

There have been big changes at home during this month.

As Zhang Chen's singing career has achieved great success, his parents are also considering whether to find an agency for him.

Zhang Chen's attitude remained unchanged, and he did not want to be controlled by the agency. So Sun Zhiping eventually quit her iron rice bowl and established a company called "Morning Light Entertainment Co., Ltd." specifically for Zhang Chen. The name was also chosen by Sun Zhiping, hoping that he could rise like the morning sun.

Zhang Chen had no objection to this name, after all, it was his mother's expectation.

The company's registered address is in the capital, after all, several famous universities and many opportunities are there.

It's a pity for Old Zhang. He doesn't know if he can be transferred to the capital with the couple. Otherwise, the couple will have to live apart. As for Zhang Chen himself, he will naturally have to transfer to another school in the capital.

Thanks to the fact that both parents are in the education system, it is not particularly difficult to arrange the school transfer procedures for the middle school student.

So in early May, relying on his solid foundation and some fame, Zhang Chen's academic status was successfully changed from the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music to the Affiliated Middle School of Central Conservatory of Music.

Because of this, Sun Zhiping's former boss in her former unit talked to her more than once. However, Jiangcheng's resources in this area are indeed not as good as those in the capital. In the end, for the sake of the child's future, she chose to let go.

The evening of February 5
Today is the last night for Zhang Chen and his mother in Jiangcheng.

"Mom, I wrote three more songs. Let's make an appointment with Warner to meet in the capital." Zhang Chen suddenly spoke when the family of three finished their meal and were clearing up the dishes.

"The popularity of the previous album is still there, you want to release another album to beat yourself up?"

Sun Zhiping is right. Although the world is now dominated by pirates, the popularity of the song remains high.

In this case, genuine albums can still tear a lot of meat from the cracks of pirates.

When the popularity is at its peak, it is not a wise choice to release another album to compete with yourself.

"I don't plan to release it in mainland China. The three songs are all in English. I plan to ask Warner to help release it in North America. If possible, it would be best if it is released globally." Zhang Chen explained seriously.

When they heard that all three songs were in English, Zhang Zhiguo and Sun Zhiping became interested.

Sun Zhiping even smiled and said, "Xixi has only been gone for more than two months, and you're so anxious to go see her?"

"Mom, your son wants to develop faster. He started too slowly in China. I want to try to make a name for himself overseas." Zhang Chen rolled his eyes and explained for himself.

Is it because of Liu Xixi? A little bit.

"Okay, okay, just bring the song here. I'll enjoy our precious son's new work first and register the copyright at the same time." Sun Zhiping said unhappily.

As for Lao Zhang, he was still immersed in the sadness that his wife and children would leave far away tomorrow, and he didn't pay any attention to what the mother and daughter were saying.

Until the clear piano sound and Zhang Chen's singing reached the ears of Comrade Lao Zhang.

“I will run I will climb I will soar.
I'm undefeated
umping out of my skin pull the chord
"

Zhang Chen's clean and pure voice, accompanied by the melodious piano sound, echoed throughout the living room.

At present, Zhang Chen’s voice has not yet been fully finalized, and his vocal range is particularly wide, so the song, which was originally a female version, is not inferior in any way under Zhang Chen’s interpretation.

Time quickly came to the next day. After bidding farewell to the reluctant Old Zhang, Zhang Chen and his mother boarded a plane to the capital.

In the capital, the first thing to do is of course to find a place to stay.

Regarding this, Zhang Chen, who had just received a share from Warner, said that he would just buy one!
His album sales have exceeded 120 million copies so far. After deducting the taxes that should be deducted, Chenguang Entertainment has more than 400 million yuan in funds on its books.

Sun Fangping then put the money into her own pocket by borrowing it from the company at the lowest interest rate.

This operation is also a reasonable way to avoid personal income tax, but the money must be returned before the end of the year, otherwise personal income tax will still be collected.

　It has only been six hours since the publication of this book, but I am flattered that it has achieved such good data.

　　The main reason why this chapter was difficult to write was the song selection. I spent a long time looking up information and barely put together a few songs. If you think it is inappropriate, please be gentle with your criticism~
　　Finally, please read, collect and recommend!
　　Your data is awesome. Don’t I update over 10,000 posts a day?
　　If you have the guts, please let me update 10,000 words every day, hahahaha
　　PS: I have been writing since the early morning. I can’t take it anymore. I will lie down first. Tomorrow’s update should be after the afternoon~
