Chapter 1565 Shi Geng
Qin Feng thought about it to see if there were any familiar singers with great influence who had not yet debuted but were about to debut.
Not to say there are too many signings this time, but at least two should be signed. It is best to have one male and one female, who can attract fans in different fields. The most important thing is to make fans accustomed to purchasing relevant digital music on the Internet.
Only in this way can we severely attack the current arrogant five major record companies.
Of course, these record companies actually didn't humiliate Qin Feng very much. At most, they just didn't want to see him.
There is no bad blood between the two parties.
But this isn't a matter of grudge. It's a battle of ideas.
In other words, it is a battle between the conservatives and the innovative.
What Qin Feng wants is to integrate the Internet into human life faster. In this way, he can bring more benefits to himself, as well as greater social status and voice.
The five major record companies obviously belong to the vested interests now. They can enjoy a lot of benefits without reform now, so why do they need to reform.
This is actually a kind of contradiction that has no hatred, but is bigger than any hatred.
After all, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
At this moment, Qin Feng really thought of someone.
slim Shady!
The future No. 1 brother in the rap industry. His strength lies in the fact that a white man can become the No. 1 brother in the black field (rap field). You can imagine his strength.
But what makes Qin Feng helpless is that at this moment, Eminem has signed a contract with Andre Romelle Young, also known as Dr. Dre.
Dr. Dre was not interested in any of Qin Feng's suggestions. Moreover, he believed that he could make Eminem truly famous without any help from Qin Feng.
As for Eminem personally, he is very satisfied to be under Dr. Dre's label. Although, he is still unknown. He has released one album, but only sold 1,000 records.
It can be said that it is extremely miserable.
However, now he is very optimistic about his future. After all, Dr. Dre is a king-level figure in the rap industry, and he is very good at operations.
Faced with this situation, Qin Feng knew that it was impossible to negotiate.
"Dr, I have a new proposal." Qin Feng retreated and asked, "I wonder what you think about the development of digital music?"
"Digital music? You mean MP3?" Dr. Dre asked.
Qin Feng nodded. It seems that this Dr. Dre is indeed more fashionable than those record companies.
"But how do you control piracy?" Dr. Dre asked.
Qin Feng once again recounted what Michael Jackson said.
"You said that Michael also agreed to hand over all his digital music copyrights to you?" Dr. Dre asked in surprise.
"Not all of it, just part of it." Qin Feng answered truthfully.
In this regard, you can't deceive anyone. If he has a good relationship with Michael, just call him and ask, and you'll be cheating.
"But how long will it take for your device to come out?" Dr. Dre asked again.
"If we turn over the past year, we will be able to go public." Qin Feng said with confidence.
"If so, I can't promise you." Dr. Dre nodded slowly.
He also has some knowledge about digital music. The West Coast Record Company he founded himself focuses on rap music and was established just a few years ago. Compared with those big companies, his small company does not have so many concerns.
"If you can ensure that no pirated copies will be leaked, I am willing to sign an agreement with you." Dr. Dre said straightforwardly.
This kind of thing is a kind of gambling. And he doesn't need to pay much price.
Unlike those big record companies, they have to consider all aspects of the relationship and naturally cannot agree easily.
It is not the general trend and it will never compromise.
Qin Feng grinned.
This time, it's fine. Although I still don't have much digital music copyright, it's barely enough.
Rap music, although it is considered a niche, is domestic perception. In fact, in the West, it is a major music category with a very wide audience.
With the contract in hand, Qin Feng left with satisfaction.
Of course, there are regrets. After all, it took a long time to sign a contract with Britney.
It's really a bit less. Fortunately, the next few years will be the years when Britney explodes crazily. Her period of glory is short, but it affects the entire era. A person who has risen rapidly while Michael Jackson is semi-retired.
Super diva level character.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng felt that he should be satisfied.
"Lisa, I've basically got it done here. What about you?" Qin Feng called.
"We're still talking!" Lisa shrugged helplessly, "He's clinging to 15% of the profit. Why should I go all the way here if it's such a small amount?"
15%, which has doubled from the previous 7%, is still not satisfactory.
Come on! Qin Feng didn’t think much about it and left it to Lisa and her father, Steve Jobs, to slowly grind it out. He could just sit back and enjoy his achievements.
"I have reached an agreement with Michael Jackson, and all the copyrights that he holds that are not his own will be handed over to us. Also, I have reached an agreement with Dr. Dre, and all the digital music copyrights of his companies will be handed over to us.
Leave it to us." Qin Feng said.
"That's amazing! Before you went here, I didn't think you would succeed." Lisa exclaimed.
After all, times are different, and the current era has not yet accepted digital music from the Internet. It is believed that this is a cancer that will destroy the normal operation of the entire music circle. As a result, Qin Feng really opened a hole in it.
"However, the other party requested that the iPod be released next year." Qin Feng said, "This is what I promised them. Is there any problem?"
"Don't worry, it's no problem. I will urge my father to work harder." Lisa nodded, "Now that we are Party A, we naturally have the right to urge Party B."
After saying that, Lisa smiled evilly.
This feeling is so good. Before meeting Steve Jobs, he was always submissive, but now he is different. Not to mention arrogant, he just straightens up his chest, raises his head, and looks straight.
She has always looked up to her father since she was a child. Now, she can finally look at Steve Jobs for the first time. This feeling is so refreshing.
"Then I'm going to go back to China first." Qin Feng said.
"Well, go back. But you have to remember that Harvard University will start school in mid-January next year. You don't have much time." Lisa reminded.
There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
Obviously, this person still resents Qin Feng for being in two different situations.
Qin Feng was ashamed and did not dare to say more.
In short, one more day is worth delaying. This matter is his own problem, and it has no solution. Therefore, Qin Feng can only choose to live shamelessly for the time being.
Later, Qin Feng returned to New York.
"Teacher, you're back!" Britney looked proud and hugged Qin Feng's arm like a baby, "Look, I can sing this song without any mistakes."
