Chapter 19 Trading

ding sound.

The elevator doors opened.

Xu Zhenghua took the lead and strode out.

Guan Yulan and Lawyer Jiang followed behind him.

Suddenly, Xu Zhenghua stopped.

Chen Bangdao was sitting on a bench in the waiting area opposite the elevator.

Suits and leather shoes, shiny leather shoes.

There was a box wrapped in colored paper on the bench beside him.

He was sitting on Erlang’s legs when he saw Xu Zhenghua coming out of the elevator, smiled and stood up, but he waved his hand, “I’m waiting for someone, you are busy!”

So Xu Zhenghua nodded and walked into the office area of Kojima Records.

Chen Bangdao sat back calmly.

“Haha, Zhenghua, my genius is here!”

“He’s always good! I’m laughing!”

He Jianliang heard that he was referring to the small and arrogant style he deliberately didn’t come to play in the morning, but he waved his hand carelessly, “I heard that Huading’s boss invited Liang Jingshan to play their “Dangerous Love”. “Seven Hours”, I gave him a tap dance on the spot, and the industry is rumored! I can’t do it, I can’t dance, it’s okay to twist, do you need me to dance for you?” As he spoke, he immediately twisted. .

Xu Zhenghua laughed.

After a while, He Jianliang stopped his strange writhing and laughed.

Guan Yulan and his assistant all showed a standard ceremonial smile, neat and uniform.

Lawyer Jiang was expressionless.

“Come, my genius, black tea, green tea, coffee, a glass of water?”

“A glass of water, thank you!”

“Hahaha, sit down!”

He gave a signal to his assistant, then put his arms around Xu Zhenghua’s shoulders very affectionately, with a handsome smile like a star, full of sway and confidence, “It’s very likely that you have heard it from Ms. Guan and Xiaojing, but I still have to say it again in front of you, the version you recorded for Xiaojing is absolutely amazing!”

His tone was particularly ruthless and passionate, “I’m betting that it will be popular!”

Xu Zhenghua laughed and danced with him, “Is that dance worth it?”

“It’s worth it, super super **** super worth it!”

said and laughed.

However, in the end, it has to come back to the money.

He called a deputy manager of the copyright and content department, so in front of the two people, Yulan and the other party quarreled, and about ten minutes later, the final result was finalized.

Two contracts this time, producer and arranger.

Not counting the previous 7% royalties for the lyrics and music, Xu Zhenghua, as the producer of “Short Hair”, can get another 2.5% royalties, and as an arranger, it is 1%!

In fact, the lips and tongues of both sides have been talking about you and me for more than ten minutes, just grinding this part other than 2%.

The other party intends to give 2%, and Guan Yulan asks for 3%.

The psychological price difference is actually not that big.

After all, the demo of “Short Hair” certainly surprised He Jianliang, but Xu Zhenghua and Guan Yulan didn’t have much capital to ask for before “Short Hair” was officially launched and got real good results.

The arranger thing, it can be bypassed if you can change it.

Your idea has been exposed. For the music industry, if someone else makes it, it is possible to make a version that is very similar to the demo, or even similar to the demo.

It’s just that if you find someone else, you will definitely have to pay the money, so there is absolutely no need to change people and cause future lawsuits!

Everyone will benefit from cooperation.

So seeing that the situation was a bit deadlocked, He Jianliang calmly proposed a 2.5% compromise, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement on this.

So, the lawyers of both parties began to draw up a contract.

It took more than half an hour for the lawyers of both sides to start a game. In the end, the two contracts with the scent of ink were placed in front of the two at the same time.

The lawyer checked again and confirmed that there was no problem.

Signature.

Exchange signatures.

The two sides stood up and shook hands.

Everyone quickly applauded.

“Haha, drinking foreign wine has become popular in the circle recently, and I’ve also followed the trend recently, come and **** treasures!”

He personally went to get the wine and poured the glass, and the assistant also went over to help hold the glass. In the end, everyone had a glass. He raised the glass to everyone with satisfaction, and touched Xu Zhenghua in person, in high spirits, “I wish our cooperation a success! “Short Hair” is a big hit, cheers!”

“cheers!”

Xu Zhenghua also drank it.

This contract, he is actually very satisfied.

All previous struggles, all arrangements, all performances, and all extreme pressures are finally presented in this contract – the single version of “Short Hair”, with Xu Zhenghua as the lyricist, songwriter, arranger and producer , will get a total of 10.5% of the royalties.

An Xiaojing is only 5%.

In fact, the two are in a similar situation, and they are quite weak in the dialogue with the record company.

In addition, like the previous lyrics and song licensing contracts, these two contracts also stipulate that once “Short Hair” is put into An Xiaojing’s album, or other collections such as collections, the second For the three releases, Xu Zhenghua will still be divided according to the current single, and according to the proportion of the number of singles in the album, to enjoy the due royalties of the entire album.

A very standard contract.

The treatment may even be better than other first-time songwriters and producers.

In short, before Xu Zhenghua’s official entry into the industry, only the recording production of the official version is needed, and the release is on the market!

After the celebratory wine was finished, everyone put down their cups. He Jianliang waved his hand to chase people away, but grabbed Xu Zhenghua’s shoulders and pressed him back on the sofa.

and others left, he whispered: “I have something, I need your brother to help you!”

“You say.”

“Mr. Luo is my person, so… I need him to be on the list of producers of this song!… Don’t worry, producer, his job is to be producer, just put his name on it! I think this song will be a big seller, So, you know! I need him to put more weight in the production department, in the studio!”

Well, no wonder he was willing to back down so easily just now.

This is probably the return for the 0.5% excess.

Transaction only.

…

Come with joy and return with satisfaction.

declined He Jianliang’s long-distance delivery, the two sides said goodbye at the door of his office, Xu Zhenghua strode out, so that Guan Yulan had to trot a few steps to keep up.

“If you need a private lawyer, please call me. You have my business card! Believe me, I am a good lawyer! You will have many things in the future and you will need the help of a private lawyer.”

“Hey, you told me beforehand, don’t harass my artist, be careful I complain to your law firm!”

Guan Yulan hurriedly took two steps over to avoid the lawyer Jiang.

Lawyer Jiang shrugged, but still insisted on raising his hand, making a phone call gesture to Xu Zhenghua.

Then, while walking, Yulan reached out his hand, “Check out! You’d better not keep arguing with me, because the billing hasn’t stopped! Do you need to stop the clock and settle the bill?”

just walked to the elevator.

Xu Zhenghua subconsciously took a step and turned his head. On the bench in the rest area, Chen Bangdao just stood up.

picked up the thing wrapped in colored paper beside him, he walked over with a smile.

“The contract is signed? Are you satisfied?” he asked.

“Satisfied, quite satisfied!”

“That’s great!” He handed the thing over, and Xu Zhenghua picked it up, subconsciously feeling familiar, “These are all the CDs that Xue Lan has released since her debut, arranged in chronological order, and each one has her on it. Her autograph, I can guarantee, this is definitely the most serious one she ever signed! For you!”

Xu Zhenghua laughed, “Thank you! Thank Xue Lan for me!”

Very good, he likes the direct way of trading.

Sure enough, the person he was waiting for was himself.

“You’re welcome, I have a hunch that you will become good friends in the future!”

He finished saying this with a smile, walked to the elevator, pressed the down button, and when the elevator arrived, he made a “please” gesture, and when everyone got on the elevator, he smiled and said, “See you!”

“See you!”
