Chapter 79 Expensive Package
On June 10, Lu Chen returned to the capital.
After waving away the melancholy of graduation and parting, he lifted his spirits and set off on the road again.
From now on, his identity is no longer a college student in the ivory tower, but a real new social person.
There is a long way to go, and I will go up and down to find out!
At this moment, Lu Chen didn't know what was waiting for him in the future, and he didn't know whether he was about to embark on a bright road full of flowers or a dangerous road full of thorns.
But he was fearless and full of anticipation!
...
Thursday, June 11, overcast.
Lu Chen came to the Delong Building on the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing.
Delong Building is a 58-storey office building, located in the most prosperous financial and business district on the Fourth Ring Road. Lu Chen came here twice a while ago and participated in the production of two singles by the Wandering Band in the 35th-floor Teana Music Workshop. .
Teana Music Workshop is very famous in the Beijing pop music scene. It was established ten years ago and is mainly engaged in music production and promotion. It has complete and advanced equipment and a group of excellent professionals.
Many big names in the industry have used the Teana Music Workshop to produce their own works. In order to make the first shot of entering pop music, Light Rain Media put the first album in the Teana Music Workshop for production.
Quality first!
Although Lu Chen's participation was not deep, he had a deep understanding of the strength of the Teana Music Workshop.
So he wanted to hand over his album to Teana to complete it.
The idea of making a solo album came into being when Lu Chen signed a contract with [Whale TV], and it was not until after the PK theme show that the editor of Yunjing Music Network, Sui An discussed with him, did he really make up his mind.
Lu Chen wants to use this album as his stepping stone to enter the pan-entertainment circle!
So he attaches great importance to it and regards it as the first major event after returning to Beijing.
In the customer reception room of the Teana Music Workshop, Lu Chen first met the business representative of the other party.
The sales representative's surname is Ni. He is in his 30s. He is a typical white bone spirit in the workplace. He has exquisite makeup and well-dressed. Although the smile on his face is slightly professional, it does not make people feel neglected.
This Miss Ni also spoke softly and softly: Mr. Lu Chen, this is our company's external music production quotation, which includes five packages of ABCDE. Of course, if you have special needs, our company can also provide You tailor it.
Lu Chen nodded, took the other party's price list and read it carefully.
The first two times he came to the Teana Music Workshop was for help, and he never asked for a price. Now he has opened his eyes.
This quotation table is specially made for the album, and includes all the costs of arrangement, recording and post-production. Among the five models, the lowest price of the E package is 100,000, and the highest A package is 1 million, the difference is a full 10 times!
Before coming to Teana Music Workshop, Lu Chen had some knowledge about single and album production.
Beijing is the center of the country's cultural industry. There are numerous entertainment and media companies. There are millions of employees in entertainment-related industries. There are many large and small music studios, recording studios and professional production companies.
If you just play tickets and don’t pay attention to quality, you can directly place an order online to commission a personal album.
And if you want to experience the feeling of recording in the studio, you can spend one or two thousand dollars to meet your needs.
Of course, these are purely amateurs. If you really want to produce high-quality singles or albums, the cost is very high. One or two thousand songs are basic, and hundreds of thousands are not too expensive. One point.
So don't look at the number of singers in Jing Piao, many people have never released a real album in their entire lives. In addition to the song itself, the cost of production is the key, and there are publicity and distribution later. If you can't sell it, you will lose all your money!
As for songs made for thousands of dollars,
I can't find a way to get out at all, and giving it away for nothing is too much.
As a senior company in the industry, Teana Music Workshop is very professional. The price list lists the various fees included in the five packages in detail, which makes people see it clearly.
After reading it, Lu Chen was most satisfied with the C package. There were industry-renowned arrangers, producers, and band accompaniment, high-standard recording and post-production. The price was 500,000 yuan, which was equivalent to 50,000 yuan for a song.
It's not that the AB package is not as good as the C package, but the price of the AB package is simply not something Lu Chen can afford.
Even if it's Package C, he can't come up with the money now.
As for the D package of 250,000 and the 100,000 package, compared to the C package, it seems that the sincerity is not very sufficient.
If you are not at home, you don't know that Chai Mi is expensive!
Lu Chen sighed secretly. He held the price list and asked tentatively, Miss Ni, if I choose Package C, how much discount will your company give?
He heard Qin Hanyang mention it last time that he could bargain with the production company.
Miss Ni said sincerely: Mr. Lu, my authority can give you a 5% discount at most. If you can ask our manager or director to sign, the minimum discount is 10%.
Lu Chen gave up as soon as he heard it, not to mention that he didn't know the manager and director of the Teana Music Workshop at all, and even if he could get the other party's signature, the 10% discount would cost 450,000.
Lu Chen knew that if it wasn't for him, but an industry company like Light Rain Media, the price would be lower. Who would let him do it alone?
As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade of a tree. Of course, signing an entertainment media company will lose a lot of freedom and rights, but it also has many conveniences. For example, there is no need to worry about production and distribution, and it takes effort to promote.
But Lu Chen didn't regret his choice!
He thought about it and said, Then I'll think about it, Miss Ni, can I take this price list with me?
Miss Ni smiled sweetly: It's totally fine. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.
Her business card was given to Lu Chen when they met.
thanks!
Lu Chen left the Teana Music Workshop with the price list.
In fact, for Lu Chen now, 450,000 is really not a big amount. He can earn it after a while, or find a way to sell two songs.
However, this involves another question, that is, if the investment is so large, will the cost be recovered?
Lu Chen was at a loss.
He is considered a small success in online live broadcasting and has a large number of fans, but he is not even a newcomer in the entertainment circle, and he is still an outsider, and he has no influence at all.
In addition, the issue of piracy is also involved in publishing online albums. The price of online albums is very low, but there are not many people willing to pay, because free pirated resources can be found soon after the album is released.
The same principle applies to [Whale TV], even though he has hundreds of thousands of fish meal, just like a reward, it is always a small number of people who are really willing to pay.
The album is to be released 100%, but Lu Chen doesn't want to lose money, and he doesn't want to compromise on quality, that's a problem - the idea is beautiful, but the reality is too cruel!
With a tangled mind, he took the elevator down to the bottom floor of Delong Building.
Just a few steps out of the elevator, suddenly a middle-aged man strode over and stopped Lu Chen.
Sir, are you planning to make songs in the Teana Workshop?
The middle-aged man looked about fifty years old, with a thin body and a suit of clothes that did not fit very well, so he looked baggy.
When he spoke, his expression was obviously a little nervous, and his eyes were more focused on the security guard in the hall not far away.
Uh...
Lu Chen was stunned and asked curiously, What's the matter with you?
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Chen with both hands.
I'm Wang Changsheng, the manager of Nirvana Music Production Studio, can we talk?
He spoke quite fast, with a hint of unease and anticipation.
Nirvana Music Production Studio?
Lu Chen thought for a while, but he didn't have the slightest impression. He hesitated and said, Okay.
Mainly out of curiosity.
There is a tea seat on the first floor of Delong Building. The two found a place to sit down and ordered a pot of tea.
After being seated, Lu Chen's first question was: Manager Wang, how did you know that I was going to make songs in the Teana Workshop?
The studio manager named Wang Changsheng pointed to the price list that Lu Chen put on the table, and said embarrassedly, I saw you holding this item in your hand, so I came here to try my luck.
Lu Chen laughed dumbly.
