Chapter 111: Cold Star

Chapter 111 Cold Star

“He doesn’t accept it?”

Xu Zhenghua looked over in surprise.

Guan Yulan smiled and handed the check, “Yes! He said that their company had just held a meeting to discuss and agreed to an offer of 1.5 million to sell your singer to Zhenghua Music.”

This is really… slutty!

It is easy to talk and negotiate, but you have to struggle with the left and right, and refuse to let go.

You are about to flip the table, but they will be cowardly right away, and they don’t want the money they get.

Xu Zhenghua took the check and looked at it, laughed and tore it off with a stab.

Tear it into four and a half balls, let’s throw it away, but after thinking about it, I asked Da Liu to borrow a lighter and ordered it directly.

Then he walked to the sofa and sat down, taking a sip of water, “Tell me what he wants to do.”

Guan Yulan’s smile did not diminish, she sat down beside him and said, “He said that copyright matters can be negotiated, but half is too much, they are only willing to give 49%.”

This is of course the issue of copyright ownership of Jin Xiaoqing’s new songs.

That is the same as Kojima Records.

In fact, it can still be regarded as half-to-half, but taking the extra 1%, one is to determine the ownership of the main rights, and the other is to allow the person who handles it to use it for concealer – it is not a trivial matter to put half of the copyright out. In the hand, it occupies the bulk of the head, and in the future, if someone settles the account, it will be able to stand.

In terms of business, Zhao Tianping’s former wife and Hou Gong seem very normal to Xu Zhenghua, and even if this is his own manager, Xu Zhenghua will call over to praise him.

There was nothing wrong with his last choice.

But he is not one of his own, so this is really annoying.

A professional manager like Lao Zhao, who has been in the business for many years, has already figured out the account here.

lost her new song, with Jin Xiaoqing’s fame and status today, it is not difficult to find other big-name songwriters to write for her, and the results may not be bad.

But still the same problem, there are risks.

And at least today, the one who comes up with four songs without missing a single one is undoubtedly the least risky choice – this is the value of the golden brand.

So He Jianliang was discouraged, and Zhao Tianping also chose to be counseled.

Everyone is for money.

is all to ensure success rate.

But 49% is really stuck in a somewhat uncomfortable place.

But, well, it’s just like the 14% at the beginning. You have to forcefully fight for the last point, you have to get 15%, it’s not impossible, just wait slowly, and when you become stronger, the other party will still give in .

But, no need.

What if the initiative is given to him!

Time is more valuable.

“Okay, go back and talk to Lao Jiang and the two!”

Xu Zhenghua finally let go, which meant that Jin Xiaoqing’s next song was saved, Guan Yulan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and agreed very crisply, “Okay, don’t worry, it will be done.”

After a pause, she rolled her eyes and changed the subject with a smile, “By the way, Lao Jiang has resigned and decided to reopen his law firm, and he even rented a place downstairs, which is being renovated… You know what? ?”

“what?”

Xu Zhenghua was a little surprised, he hadn’t heard Jiang Liangyun mention it before.

Guan Yulan smiled and said, “He said he wanted to serve you better.”

Xu Zhenghua couldn’t help laughing.

Jiang Liangyun used to be an independent lawyer and had his own law firm, but then it seemed to get worse and worse. His law firm closed down, so he joined another law firm to work.

Now it seems that after getting his promise, he is going to be independent?

He is really diligent in his work, and his ability is not bad. In addition, everyone has been in contact with him many times in the past six months. Xu Zhenghua still trusts him, so he not only signed him as his personal lawyer, but also promised him. , In the future, the company will officially start operation, and the company’s legal business will also be signed to him.

It seems that he is optimistic about the development of his company, so he does not want the law firm where he is currently working to take up this business, so he simply comes out and does it alone.

or, in the future, everyone will be officially working, and some things should be discussed nearby.

“Okay, let’s go see it another day!”

…

This time, there were no more idiots.

After the contract was negotiated and finalized, Xu Zhenghua rushed over in person and signed the contract with Oriental Star.

The first one is that Zhenghua Music bought out Xu Zhenghua’s singer contract at a price of 1.5 million.

The second is that the two sides reached an agreement on the co-production of Xu Zhenghua’s new work “Scar”.

If nothing else, this song will become the first title song of Jin Xiaoqing’s new album, and it will be really responsible for driving the sales of her second solo album.

Of course, this time Zhao Tianping’s attitude is very good, so Xu Zhenghua does not rule out the possibility of coming up with another second title song for her – the two title songs will undoubtedly be more stable.

“Thousand Thousand Que Song” has undoubtedly reached a very high level in terms of popularity, word-of-mouth, and sales. It just won the fourth week of the A chart this week, but this single disc has been confirmed With more than 5 million copies sold, it is destined that its ability to drive the new album has been greatly reduced.

also need new songs to continue to bring.

Of course, Jin Xiaoqing will not release any more singles before the album is released.

Nothing else, just because Xu Zhenghua no longer needs to prove himself with successful singles.

In the contract for “Scars”, in addition to taking 49% of the copyright for Zhenghua concerts as agreed before, Xu Zhenghua’s personal royalties in this song also refer to the previous agreement with Kojima Records in “Put Your Ears Off” The wake-up call, enforced a personal royalty of up to 18%.

And in this contract, it is also specially stipulated that once “Scar” is selected into Jin Xiaoqing’s album, no matter what the songs are in the album, and no matter how many songs there are, Xu Zhenghua will get 3% of the whole album. Earnings – If the album only has ten songs, then adding the 1.4% that “A Thousand Thousand Que Songs” will automatically get, Xu Zhenghua will take 4.4% of her royalties on this album.

This is the right that a popular celebrity deserves to create a title song.

This end got the contract with Oriental Star. When he turned his head, Xu Zhenghua signed a five-year and three-specialist singer contract with his Zhenghua Music. According to the long-term cooperation agreement signed with Venus, Zhenghua Music needs to sign Xu Zhenghua’s singer contract within three months, and stipulates that it must be three years and three majors.

Now that the contract has been signed, not only has the contract requirements been met, but Xu Zhenghua can finally start recording his own songs.

However, he didn’t even have time to celebrate.

He returned the studio he had rented from the Imperial Capital branch of Venus Records, and ended his album preparation process for more than a week. He turned his head and rushed into the studio of Kojima Records.

The remix version of “Flying Eyes” is not difficult, and it was done in two days.

Even Du Xuelan’s participation is completely unnecessary.

But next, the recording of An Xiaojing’s album will officially begin.

The TV series “Dongfang Qingwei” she is going to participate in will start in late September. An Xiaojing is an important female supporting role. Considering her academic issues, she has already negotiated with the producer and will join the group in mid-October. , that is about a month and a half, but Xu Zhenghua felt that it would not take that long. He planned to use a month to make all the seven songs she sang solo in one breath.

As for the song she collaborated with Zhao Qubing, she has to wait for Zhao Qubing.

Now it’s not that he doesn’t have time to record, but the foundation of singing is too poor. No matter how good he usually sings, as soon as he enters the recording studio, he immediately has countless flaws.

But it seems that he really loves singing, and he did not simply regard singing as a money-making journey to realize fame, so he seriously invited a vocal teacher and went to study.

If his progress is fast enough, he may be able to record before the new drama enters the group. If he can’t keep up, he will not even be able to record until after the filming of this drama is over.

As for the song “Bend of the Moon” written to him, we have to continue to the back row.

So, according to Xu Zhenghua’s plan, around the end of September, he will officially start recording his own album.

Will record 12 to 14 songs in one go, and then follow An Xiaojing’s idea of releasing an album, first take two singles out and release a single disc, hit the charts, and determine the final album depending on the performance of the genre. selection.

Those who are rich in resources just dare to be so willful.

But… Recording a dozen songs in one go will undoubtedly be a big project.

Considering that there are still seven songs to be recorded for An Xiaojing before, this is connected one after another, and it is almost doomed that in the next two or three months, Xu Zhenghua’s main energy will be devoted to the recording studio.

If all goes well, An Xiaojing’s solo debut album will be released in about mid-to-late November. At the same time, the single disc of the album’s first title song “Wake Up Your Ears” will be released to hit the charts.

Before that, she will not release any more singles, and will leave the purchase of songs to the album.

However, Xu Zhenghua’s debut single will not be much later than her, and maybe even overtake a car in a corner – because Xu Zhenghua doesn’t need to shoot any TV series.

September 1st, freshmen start school.

According to Guo Kun, among the new students this year, there are several outstanding junior sisters.

But unfortunately, Xu Zhenghua did not have time to participate in the orientation.

But when An Xiaojing made up the exam, he and Yuan Wei went to watch the fun – she missed too many classes last semester, “Short Hair” was a big sell, and the price of her wanton money was that last semester’s class failed two subjects.

The Conservatory of Music has always been known for its strict teaching, and only a handful of people fail the course every year.

She, a big star, needs to make up the exam, which is still very interesting.

So on the day of the make-up exam, many paparazzi even sneaked into the school.

September 5th, which is said to be an auspicious day, Du Xuelan moved into a new home.

A real mansion with an area of more than two acres.

She is known in the circle for not being good at socializing, and she has no particularly good friends, but she is too popular now, and there is no shortage of people who hold stinky feet, so this housewarming party is still very impressive.

Xu Zhenghua is her only friend in the circle, so of course she has to support her.

On the night of the party, it was very lively outside, but Xu Zhenghua and Chen Bangdao drank tea in the small conference room on the second floor.

A lot of things were finalized.

Xu Zhenghua promised to make another song for her next album of “New Songs Plus Selected”, and Chen Bangdao promised that he would talk to Liu Ju and win 4% of the album for Xu Zhenghua’s song. divided into.

Although such an extraordinarily high share will compress the profit margins of the record company, both of them are confident that Liu Ju will agree.

In addition to the 1.4% of “Beautiful Eyes” and the 1.4% of the remixed version, Xu Zhenghua will occupy a total of 6.8% of the royalties in the third album released by Du Xuelan on Xiaodao Records.

Of course, with An Xiaojing’s previous example of copyright sharing for the previous eight songs, it is almost a matter of course that Zhenghua Music will also occupy 49% of the copyright of this new song, so for the entire album, it will Get 4.9% of the equity belonging to the producer – but this needs to be discussed by Guan Yulan.

In short, after the situation was completely opened with four consecutive punches, the next things, for Xu Zhenghua, had actually lost the challenge.

All he needs to do now is step by step and hurry up.

However, with the release of the latest issue of the Voice of the East music chart on September 6, “Thousand Thousand Que Song” finally fell from the number one position on the A chart.

It’s a pity that I didn’t get the sixth consecutive championship.

But also has endless glory.

This song was released at the beginning of June, not much later than “Beautiful Dance”, but it didn’t start to become popular until the end of June, and it officially became popular from the beginning of July.

It first won the second place in the A-list for the four full episodes in July. No matter who sits first, its position is stable at the second place. For many songs, it has become very popular at this stage. Next It is probably powerless to continue, but it continues to exert its strength, directly topping the “When Love is Approaching”, which has been popular for two weeks, starting from the list of the August 2nd issue and ending on August 30th , staged a feat that really dominated the list for a month.

The second in the fourth week of July and the first in the fifth week of August.

This glory, this big hit, is actually not inferior to the six consecutive championships of “Beautiful Eyes” – in terms of sales, it has even surpassed it steadily.

And even if it falls now, it still ranks fifth on the A list on this week’s list.

It can be said that, starting from the six consecutive championships of “Browning Eyes”, to the rapid rise of “When Love is Approaching”, to the relay **** of “Thousands of Que Songs”, in the past three months, these three songs have obscured the The sky of the entire Chinese music circle has also achieved Xu Zhenghua’s super voice in the industry.

This is the basis for him to dare to game with everyone.

But now, this three-month-long glory has begun to come to an end.

…

The electric sliding door opens.

The assistant got out of the car first, and what he hit head-on was the flashing lights outside that could almost blind people’s eyes.

Kacha Kacha Kacha.

Everyone is a crazy shot.

Three strong bodyguards hand in hand to block a line, holding the paparazzi team of thirty to forty people, and the security guards of the community not far away are also running wildly.

These paparazzi are chasing directly into the underground garage.

A slender hand stretched out, supported the assistant’s hand, and got out of the car.

The flash is fully illuminated.

Jin Xiaoqing raised his hand to cover it, then gave up and walked out without expression.

Guan Yulan on the passenger seat has also come down and is protecting Jin Xiaoqing’s side.

The bodyguards were immediately pressed back, but they still protected Jin Xiaoqing and walked forward with difficulty.

“Xiaoqing, there are rumors that you yelled at the TV station staff backstage, can you respond?”

“That Mr. Zheng said that you had been in a relationship for three years, and didn’t break up until you signed a contract to become a singer. Is it true? How do you respond to this?”

“Du Qiliang said when he participated in the show that he was very willing to write songs for you. Have you reached a cooperation? Du Qiliang thinks that your voice is ‘once in a century’, but your personal temperament is ‘once in a thousand years’. What’s your opinion? Do you think he’s showing love to you?”

“…”

After the security team of the community joined, the paparazzi finally couldn’t hold it anymore and began to retreat.

At this time, Jin Xiaoqing’s brother and sister-in-law in the car behind finally came over and joined the team to protect Jin Xiaoqing, finally making the group approach the elevator entrance.

“Xiaoqing, just say a few words?”

“Yeah, just say a few words.”

However, Jin Xiaoqing was still expressionless, with a cold attitude, but just walked forward.

Finally, the group successfully broke through and entered the elevator.

The paparazzi were all kept out, and the security of the community began to drive them away.

Jin Xiaoqing exhaled slowly.

Her brother also looked relieved, “These paparazzi are so **** annoying!”

Then he turned his head and said to Jin Xiaoqing, “Xiaoqing, you have to hire a few more bodyguards. This is not acceptable. If it wasn’t for me and your sister-in-law, we might not be able to get in.”

Jin Xiaoqing gave a non-salty “um”.

His face was stern and his eyes sharp.

Her brother laughed a few times, but did not dare to speak.

I ran out to promote it before, because Guan Yulan was called back temporarily. Her brother, who had been with her for two weeks, temporarily played a guest role as an agent. As a result, she was secretly ignoring money. She found it, grabbed the handle, and slapped it in the face.

She showed no mercy at all and was about to drive away.

In the end, her brother and sister-in-law knelt down to apologize to her, and her brother repeatedly promised that he would never do it again, so he stayed.

She has hated and despised her brother since she was a child. She felt that he was very stupid, and he was always bullying herself, but there was really no way. After the sudden popularity, there was no one around her, so she had to urgently put this Call my brother-in-law to help.

Ding, the elevator arrived.

The two bodyguards went out first, and no one was found in the corridor, so they avoided the door to protect both sides, so everyone protected Jin Xiaoqing out of the elevator.

“Okay, let’s go here. You guys go back to the hotel to rest. Team Luan, come back to me for reimbursement.”

These people were all built by Guan Yulan, and now she is also sending them away.

The assistant    has already taken out the key and opened the door.

But before entering the door, Jin Xiaoqing said: “You two should go first, go to the hotel to open a room to sleep, remember, you will not be reported if it exceeds 150! Let’s go, the house is small, there is no extra bedroom!”

Her brother hurriedly winked at his wife, so her sister-in-law immediately said: “That’s not good, Xiaoqing, we don’t want to live at home, the main reason is that there has been no one in the house for two months. Do the dirty work? It’s not suitable for you to do it for you, and Xiao Zhu is also tired, right?”

Jin Xiaoqing hesitated for a while, “Okay, come on then!”

So everyone entered the door together.

After entering the door, Jin Xiaoqing kicked off the high heels, but Guan Yulan said, “Wait a minute,” then walked to the windows in all directions to look, and came back after a while, sighed and smiled bitterly, “Sure enough, there are cameras everywhere! Look at the roof on the opposite side! Give the property a call!”

Jin Xiaoqing also sighed helplessly, and told her brother, “Go and open all the windows, let the wind blow for a few minutes, and then close them!”

Her brother agreed immediately and ran to do so.

Assistant Xiao Zhu put down his luggage and ran to check the kitchen while calling the property.

Jin Xiaoqing threw himself directly into the sofa, sighed, and rubbed his temples.

Until this time, she put down her strong and stern appearance a little, showing a trace of tiredness.

Guan Yulan came over with a smile, sat down beside her, and said softly, “Are you tired?”

“Well, tired.”

“But it’s worth it, right?”

There was no smile on Jin Xiaoqing’s face, and before he knew it, he became cold again, “Is it worth it… You say these paparazzi, in the past two months, how much work have I provided them and helped them earn money? How much is it, I’m going home now, so I can’t take a few days off?”

Guan Yulan smiled and patted her thigh, “I’ll get better in a few days, I’ll be back.”

Jin Xiaoqing sighed, turned his head, frowned, furious, “Tell you not to move that box! Put it there!”

Her brother looked embarrassed, “Well, I’ll put it in your bedroom for you!”

She continued with a cold face, “No need! Put it down!”

“Ai, ai, put it down!”

Guan Yulan’s temperament is considered kind in the end. At this time, seeing that Jin Xiaoqing was too rude to her own brother, she took the initiative to soften her cheeks, “He’s your brother, so you can’t be more polite?”

Jin Xiaoqing didn’t tell her about her brother’s secret money affair.

But at this time, it’s not a skill to expose others’ shortcomings. She raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, “Who have I been polite to?”

Guan Yulan is speechless, it is difficult to persuade her.

said a thousand words and ten thousand, and now Jin Xiaoqing is already a big hit after all.

And then again, not long after she signed Jin Xiaoqing, she was figured out by Jin Xiaoqing. The more familiar she became, the less polite she became. After she released an album, although her grades were average, she was really worth it after all. Magnolia split the money, naturally she was more and more rude to her.

Simply put, Guan Yulan can’t control her.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqing really dared not give her face.

So Guan Yulan refused to persuade her.

left her brother there with an embarrassed smile, nodding and bowing, “Then I…clean up!”

Coincidentally, someone knocked on the door.

Her brother frowned immediately, “Who the **** is this, the paparazzi are so arrogant that they knock on the door?”

He rushed over to open the door and was greeted by a handsome big boy, half a head taller than him, but he didn’t feel weak at all, “Who are you? Who are you looking for?”

“Uh… is Jin Xiaoqing at home?”

“Sorry we don’t accept…”

Her brother’s tone was impatient and the door was about to close.

But suddenly, Guan Yulan and Jin Xiaoqing in the living room behind them said almost in unison: “Yes! Yes!”

Guan Yulan got up and walked over in a single step, pulling Jin Xiaoqing’s brother away, already smiling, “From the garage? Why don’t you let your second brother come up and sit too?”

“Well, no.”

Xu Zhenghua stepped forward and glanced at the dazed man.

Jin Xiaoqing has also walked over quickly. At this time, his expression has changed, and he has a small appearance of grievance. It seems that he is full of grievances and no one can complain, “Zhenghua, you are finally here!”

pounced directly.

Her coquettish voice made her brother shudder.

Xu Zhenghua let her hug her, but Guan Yulan immediately reminded, “The window is still open, and the curtains are not drawn!”

“what?”

Jin Xiaoqing was taken aback, and then she remembered, so she quickly let go again, looked back at her brother, saw his silly look, and got angry when she saw him, “Hurry up and close the window!”

“Ai! Ai!”

Her brother just woke up like a dream.

“Close the curtains!”

“it is good!”

Her brother agreed, and ran to close the window and draw the curtains. After closing the window, she turned around and went to the other end, just to see her sister squatting on the ground to take off the old boy’s shoes, and brought him a new pair of slippers, saying: “It’s been a long time since I lived in the house, the floor must be dirty, don’t get your socks dirty.”

But the boy didn’t seem to appreciate it, “It’s okay, don’t do this!”

Her brother’s eyes almost popped out.

After turning around and closing the windows and the curtains everywhere, he couldn’t wait to run back and saw that the big boy had already sat down on the sofa, and his sister was snuggling in his arms and acting like a spoiled child.

“I was already tired! The old manager was called back by you halfway through, and I even had to worry about many things myself. When you came again, just keep your face straight and don’t say anything to praise me…”

Her brother swallowed and hesitated for a while. He wanted to go up to say hello and shake hands, but he felt that in this atmosphere, it seemed difficult for him to come up and interrupt.

He had already guessed who it was.

I just didn’t expect that my younger sister, who is majestic outside, would be so low in front of him.

This lover is not a lover, and the boss is not the boss.

It feels like a housewife in the outer room.

However, taking care of Yulan’s appearance, she didn’t seem to be surprised at all.

Maybe she is really a little wife.

Anyway, he is older than his sister and can control her.

“that…”

He cleared his throat, finally summoned up his courage, and was ready to lean in to say something flattering, but at this moment, Xiao Zhu, assistant of younger sister Jin Xiaoqing, came over with a tea tray with three steaming cups of tea on it.” Mr. Xu, Sister Qing, Sister Lan, drink tea!”

When did this dead girl boil the water?

is so neat, how long did it take to enter the door, and the tea was brewed?

The young man picked up the teacup and put it down again, probably because it was too hot, then turned his head and said to Guan Yulan: “Today, when you went to pick up someone, Liu Defeng went to the recording studio to find me again, and he wanted to terminate the contract peacefully with Kojima Records. , the rest of the album will not be released, but He Jianliang disagrees, it seems that he wants to wait for him to go up, and then seriously build Lao Liu, alas, you can go to him, just tell him that he owes I am alone.”

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Guan Yulan immediately sat upright.

After listening to him, he immediately agreed, “Okay, I’ll do it!”

The young man turned his head again, looking at his sister with an expressionless face, “Just take a good rest when you come back. Be honest with me recently, look at the **** you’ve caused outside!”

My sister immediately acted like a spoiled child, with a look of grievance, “They don’t blame me, they poured dirty water on me!”

Guan Yulan also quickly explained, “I really don’t blame her! She’s so popular, I don’t know how many people’s fortunes have been blocked, none of those things really stand up! It’s all slander!”

My sister immediately followed, “Really!”

The young man had already stood up, “Okay, let’s go!”

But he was hugged by his sister, who looked like she was about to cry, “Sit down for a while, you just came and left! We haven’t seen you for more than two months!”

Then she turned her head and suddenly looked at herself. In an instant, her eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, “You all go first, there is no need to clean the house, I will call the nanny to clean it tomorrow.”

Her brother agreed subconsciously, not daring to disobey, and turned his head to call his wife to come out.

But he didn’t come back to his senses until the two went out and the door was closed by assistant Xiao Zhu from the inside. No, he didn’t have time to say hello to that Xu Zhenghua!
