The new album Zemfira suddenly on the internet before the official release. In an interview with the CEO of Real Records Andrew Lukinova I try to understand why the company does not want to create a new Zemfira will unlock. I must say that Andrey Lukin - one of the most respected people in the Russian music business. He started in the 80 years of perestroika. "Alice" by Zemfira - now head of a considerable number of companies, including PC Igor Matvienko, mainstream production (specializing in pop versions) and the label Real Records, countless remarkable rock has released versions. Counts in his opinion, he was vain words to the wind drops. The scandalous history of the so-called B-sides Zemfira quite long. The singer was released this album a few years ago, but every now and then bear a share under various pretexts. Zemfira fans know they appear and then disappear from Zemfira posts on its website and it is very rare and obscure interview. The other side was quiet for several years. Only now, when the music suddenly surfaced on the Internet, "Private reporter" has an exclusive comment from Andrew Lukinova. Andrey Lukin - Why until the history of the b-sides Zemfira find? - Real Records has signed a contract with 25th Zemfira Signed in February 2005. And multiple contracts simultaneously. "Vendetta", a concert at the "Olympic" and B-sides On the B-side Zemfira received considerable delay, with our good attitude. Nearly four years we were waiting for him. And justify it were different, but very subjective. Not that the voice was gone. The whole thing has been to maximize the profits for the company and for the artist. Artists received a fixed fee for a certain number of copies of the disc and above this threshold would receive royalties. As for "Vendetta", and on the B side, the later "Z-Saidy." - Was the contract the penalties for non-compliance with the conditions -. Course, but between the artist and the company was founded more on personal relationships. Finally, it was calculated as follows: out "Vendetta" in six months - B-Sides The whole campaign was to collect on the rise to Exit B-sides "Olympic" to planned order to earn it, but as the B... .. pages broke, then ripped off and everything else after a while it became clear that all of the delay for delivery of the material expands to infinity The money had actually been paid to us in advance to 100% -. paid at once - Yes , in 2005 Zemfira the full amount for the album B-sides. And, as you know, since then things have changed. Out of media such as tape. almost disappeared support CD. Remained in fact just a digital distribution channel, the so far has not really monetized -. Zemfira album, released during this time, "Thank you." Why did not she give it to you as B-sides - During this time, a lot of what has happened links, for example, live concert. album and a collection of video clips on Real Records. For "Vendetta" we bought not only related, but also the exclusive copyrights. And without the permission of the publisher can publish Zemfira not legally recorded music or video clips from these works. The company's position is simple - we are not allowed to use the "new" track with these products in order to meet obligations to all us at the B-side. The same thing happened with DVD "Green Theatre in Zemfira happened," there are no traces of "Vendetta" Only then, apparently Zemfira realized that it was serious, it is a saying -.. "The debt you take other people's money, and you give her "Now I could be wrong, but I believe that by the time" Thank you Thank you. "" by the artist ran out of money and Zemfira reported that. "- is not an album to be released Real Records. They say that they are different. And he went into the publishing house "Kommersant". Most record companies, aware of the obligations before Zemfira "real", simply refused to release the album. Money is money, but we work together and between companies within the music industry to understand is -. What was the motivation of the singer - This question is for Zemfira I think she just needed money borrowed at the time of her already we kept paying all its obligations.. "not interested." all in advance. you need to look no pitfalls. I did some interviews Zemfira where they read about the fact that almost broke acquitted, they say, the relationship between her and the "Real" is exhausted. This is funny. B-sides album was completed at the end of November 2008. And he came and took at "Mosfilm" in the fall just before delivery. - Why is there a break in the album release Z Saidov between November and ... And what? - Produced albums became unprofitable. The album needed a new artist to express himself. But the sale of albums! Distribution does not exist today. Destroyed commodity-money relations with networks, particularly in the regions. Retail is not easy to pay - no delay, no way out. Restored until the situation is, it makes no sense to publish albums. - It gets worse. - A certain number of people to buy a CD, do not care about it. If someone happy with the quality of the discharge on the Internet, he could not be expected to buy a drive. Who wants to buy one. We will release it when it is best for the company. In every respect. Let's solve it? "Real" was ready to release it in 2005! It is clear that in the fight against money that was paid to us in 2005, it is impossible. I am ashamed that the discharge before the big release of another artist Real Records (ie Tanya Zykina) occurred. Although I am not a fan of conspiracy plots. Our attorneys leaked a lawsuit against those who traces on the Internet. We need to understand that merge unreleased soundtrack - it's even worse than piracy legal CD. - You have found the person who leaked? - Lawyers are involved. To find. - That's not found? - When will the evidence, I will say that you have found. Without evidence not speak. Find it! Real Records, is how to protect their interests and the interests of the individual entrepreneur Ramazanova Zemfira Tolgatovny. This is exactly the same, I hope, is interested that we deserve in this press release and paid it theoretically possible position of royalty. - Option, the drain could get organized Zemfira not discussed? - Which version of anything can be discussed. But it's like the saying "Spite grandmother frostbitten ears." Zemfira not seem unreasonable man. Maybe she is impulsive, but not in terms of the economy. Zemfira always carefully read the contract, watching lawyers, accountants ... and only then sign the contract. As a businessman Zemfira Tolgatovna Ramazanova very correct person. - That is, you put a "Z-Pollock" on the shelf, waiting for the distribution will recover - Of course we will be releasing this record, but if it is profitable to hide would sense in the case where.. it would interfere with something. But no record of quality, yet on the significance of minor importance. Quite the contrary. Interestingly, the load on the Internet immediately overgrown speculation. Say, this is not all, will be more tracks ... No, it's nothing! There is a list of nine songs passed Zemfira we signed. (Andrey Lukin shows me a contract on November 25, 2008, there are nine songs that those lights that are already on the Internet) . This is all we can release legally But first, we find those who have suffered because of concerns including Zemfira -.. Are there any tracks -. There are lot of people think that there's a conflict between us and Zemfira . But it was the usual deal: bought, then sold. What was unusual was just a very good attitude to the artist. Zemfira who gets way more tidy regularly by the company due to its license fee on your account. It's business. - Zemfira has the right to run one of these songs on the radio? - No can, unreleased song on the radio you do not run - followed immediately by an action against the radio station followed. - A Real Records can? - Of course it can. With a doctorate. And we will offer the song radio station before leaving the plate. - Which track to deliver the first? - If you ask me, I can not like a song. But much depends on the program directors of radio stations. Review of Zemfira - Z-side guru Ken, for the publication of "private correspondent"
