Chapter 1058 1043. Full of Sincerity (45)
The marketing director of ACT Records in New Zealand is called Schroeder Saravin. He is a middle-aged white man who is energetic and polite. When he came to Sunset Town, he immediately contacted Reddy and invited him to talk one time.
For this record company, Reddy has naturally been famous for a long time. After receiving the call, he was pleasantly surprised at first, and then hesitated: "Hello, Mr. Saravin, I am very happy to receive your call, but I am not very convenient to go far recently. OK……"
He knew why ACT was looking for him. This was an opportunity, but he was a little hesitant to leave Sunset Town and Volcano Bar.
Schroeder smiled and said: "You don't have to travel far, Reddy, my star, I have come to Sunset Town, I am in the second private room of the Little Gardenia Cafe, I hope to have the honor to meet you."
Hearing that the other party had come, Reddy cheered up, which showed that ACT Records valued them. For a man who has lacked a sense of identity in his music for many years, this is an exciting thing.
If this is the case, I have to meet them, otherwise I will appear to be impolite? With this in mind, he hung up the phone, quickly went to Ryan and the other three, and told the story.
Knowing that a director came directly from ACT, and the other three were also very proud, Badman said happily: "Then what are we waiting for? Go and see the situation."
After all, Ryan was older, he quickly calmed down and motioned the three little brothers to sit down: "Don't worry, Reddy, go and call Mr. Saravan and tell him we'll clean up before we go, it's ugly with makeup now .Then, let’s hold an internal meeting to unify our opinions.”
The first topic to discuss is whether to leave Sunset Town and go to ACT Records.
Tutu looked at the three people and said: "Maybe we don't need to rush to talk about this, who can say that people must have taken a fancy to us?"
Badman shook his head and said: "Forget it, buddy, don't deceive yourself, Oakland is not close from here, he must have driven on the road in the morning, drove here all day, you think he will just come to see us ?"
Reddy said: "Yes, he definitely wants to sign us, but guys, I don't want to leave Sunset Town so early. The boss just ended his contract yesterday. Are we going to leave today?"
"Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea." Tutu agreed with Reddy. "I mean we're really happy here. What do we want? Money? Fans? Lights? We all have it now, don't we?"
Badman sighed: "You are right, but is this all we want? I want to win the New Zealand Music Golden Microphone Award, and I want to walk around the American Grammy podium , I want to go to any place, even on the wilderness of Africa, when I meet someone, he will point at me and say: Dude, I have heard your song, I like your song!"
This is the dream of all music lovers, especially street singers like them.
Reddy was moved by Badman's words. He looked at Ryan and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
Ryan thought about it for a while, and said: "ACT is a good choice, as is Sunset Town. We set a bottom line. If we can reach this bottom line, we will go to ACT. If we can't reach it, we will stay in Sunset Town first."
Tutu smiled immediately: "Good idea, boss. I like this method."
Later, they discussed several issues of concern, and then prepared to negotiate with Saravin.
"Call the boss and tell him the current situation. No matter what the final result is, we have to let him know that our sunset team is not a villain who is greedy for profit." Ryan said.
"OK."
Little Gardenia Café is located in the east of the center of Sunset Town. You can see this cafe as soon as you enter the town. It was opened by a Christchurch barista. Thanks to the large number of tourists in Sunset Town and the scale of Daqin Cafe, his Business is also good.
When the four of Ryan appeared at the door of the cafe, they attracted some people's attention, and someone shouted: "Hey, the sunset group! Hey, Reddy boy!"
Reddy, who was walking in front, showed a bright smile, just like his mood.
More than a dozen people gathered around and asked for a group photo with them. They already have a good reputation, but they are not big stars yet, so there is no sensation after their appearance.
But it feels good to be a little star, this is the unanimous inner thought of the four.
Schroeder saw this scene from the window, and he smiled at the assistant beside him: "Good job."
In fact, these people are not real fans, they are hired by them, they are regarded as sailors. It is true that the songs of the Sunset Group have already become popular, and they were still popular overnight.
But in the town, people usually see them a lot, and they don't take the initiative to ask for autographs and group photos. After all, these things can be obtained in bars.
Someone from the New Zealand branch of ACT Records paid special attention to New Zealand Music Network. Their albums were heard and reported immediately. The leaders of the company also held a meeting immediately and decided to take them down.
Before Schroeder came, he inquired about the situation of the Sunset Group, and formulated a plan that was enough to impress them. The first step was to let the four of them experience the feeling of becoming a star.
However, it is not easy to do this well. If there are too few people recruited, it will not be shocking. If there are too many people recruited, four people will be suspicious. The final decision is the scale of fifteen people.
When the four people walked into the private room, Schroeder had already been waiting for a long time, and politely asked the four to sit down.
Starting from the theme of the album Roaring, he displayed his superb communication skills and kept talking about CDs, music, and albums, but he didn't talk about ACT's idea of signing the four.
Schroeder's conversation skills are superb, and when he found that the four of them didn't really want to talk, he still had a trump card, took out a disc and put it on the table and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, our general manager asked me to I brought you a gift, this is the Collaborative-LP album, I hope you like it."
Collaborative-LP is the first LP of ACT Records. Its publication is an epoch-making product for the company, and it is the beginning of more diversified productions. This record has unique significance for ACT.
This gift is not light. The Collaborative-LP album has been in existence for almost forty years and has long been out of print. A first-edition Collaborative-LP album can be sold to enthusiasts and collectors for at least 100,000 New Zealand dollars. !
It can be seen from this that ACT Records is really optimistic about the four people.
