Chapter 30: Potential

Chapter 30 Potential

“Zhenghua, do you want to collaborate with Du Xuelan on your next song?”

The cooperation negotiation on “Beautiful Dance” has just started, and Xu Zhenghua suddenly received a call from He Jianliang – and the timing was particularly good, just in time, Xu Zhenghua would return to the dormitory.

Just because Du Xuelan’s manager is He Jianliang’s number one enemy in Kojima Records.

These people are really full of infighting skills.

Lying is meaningless, Xu Zhenghua admitted frankly, “Yeah, I think that song would be more suitable for Xue Lan.”

“Can’t the others? There are still several female singers in the company, all of whom are talented. Although there is no Du Xuelan Hong, before Xiaojing cooperated with you, didn’t she have nothing? What about now? So I’m here for you. Say, it doesn’t matter, doesn’t it? It really doesn’t work, who do you like, I’ll sign her!”

He was sincere.

The tone of    even had a hint of humility.

“It’s just the beginning of the conversation. It’s not necessarily a success. I think Xue Lan is more suitable for this song. President He, you don’t need to be so nervous, right?”

“I’m at odds with him, you know.”

‘s tone suddenly became low, as if there was an implied threat?

Ah!

“I said it, just started talking!”

Xu Zhenghua’s tone was casual, “Mr. He, you understand me, I am… more willful.”

On the other end of the phone, He Jianliang was silent for a moment, and said, “Will you participate in Xiaojing’s album? I remember that you had a good relationship. She stood on the same side as you and threatened me. Of course, you succeeded! So , you’re going to write a new song for her, right?”

Nima, it has become so fast!

Sure enough, the attitude is not so firm!

So when you touched it, it immediately retracted, and immediately started to play favor cards seamlessly?

This is the way it is. Although most creators are accustomed to cooperating with one or several singers all year round, theoretically speaking, as long as the relevant long-term cooperation agreement is not signed, then no one can restrict a creator’s next song to follow. who cooperates.

“Of course! Xiaojing is my friend, good friend!”

Xu Zhenghua deliberately emphasized the emphasis on the word “good”, “But the album is still early, and I want to make another single for her next.”

On the other end of the phone, He Jianliang seemed to be relieved.

There was a smile in his voice, “That’s great, then I’ll be waiting for your new song.”

“No problem! By the way, Mr. He! According to my agent, Sister Guan, came back and told me that when Mr. Liu first met her, his attitude was not very good! Sister Guan even said that this is probably not a deal for the time being. The key reason! It can be seen that you have been annoyed by others recently! Why are you always happy, I have eaten and hung up with you! You must owe me a bottle of wine! ”

He Jianliang laughed, very hearty, “No problem! I owe you!”

…

Negotiations on “Beautiful Eyes” were not smooth.

Guan Yulan on behalf of Xu Zhenghua, Chen Bangdao on behalf of Du Xuelan, went to see Du Xuelan’s manager of Xiaodao Records – Mr. Liu, who was quite at odds with He Jianliang.

Mr. Liu has no objection to the two to collaborate on Xu Zhenghua’s next work.

“Short Hair” is becoming more and more popular, and He Jianliang is getting more and more complacent. He sees it all in his eyes, and he wishes that Xu Zhenghua is willing to cooperate with the artists under his management.

He also has no objection to a dance song like “Browsing Eyes”.

Du Xuelan signed a contract with Kojima Records, and only the last new song and a selection are left. For now, it is his first appeal to keep this trump card on Kojima Records as much as possible.

As long as Du Xuelan wants to do it himself, and the song doesn’t deviate from the big spectrum, he will not vote against it.

However, in terms of Xu Zhenghua’s royalties, there is a certain positioning gap between the psychological prices of the two parties.

Guan Yulan offered 15% of the price for Xu Zhenghua’s lyrics and music.

Among them, 10% of the lyrics and music, 1% of the arranger, and 4% of the producer.

The price of    is very high. For Xu Zhenghua, who only has one masterpiece at the moment, it is a price that can be offered upwards.

And Mr. Liu is only willing to give 12%.

5% for music, 4% for words, 1% for arrangement, 2% for producer.

He thinks this is a reasonable price.

In business affairs, this price is indeed reasonable, but the meaning of taking care of Yulan is obviously not reconciled-with the current popularity of “Short Hair” in front of her eyes, she has high expectations for Xu Zhenghua’s next work. Once “Flying Eyes” becomes popular, the royalties will be a little short, and the final income may be more than 100,000 yuan!

As an agent, Xu Zhenghua can share 10% of these incomes.

Then for her, the difference between 15% and 12% is likely to be at least 30,000 yuan.

Although it doesn’t mean that a cooperation will be ruined because of this money, but Guan Yulan is very confident now, she thinks that she can wait a little longer and stretch it out.

Xu Zhenghua certainly didn’t mind earning a little more, so he decisively stopped.

“Then let’s wait until next week’s list comes out!” he said.

Unsurprisingly, when the new issue of the Voice of the East music chart came out, Mr. Liu immediately relented – he took the initiative to call Guan Yulan and invited her to come over and talk.

On the new “Voice of the East” music chart on April 12, the ranking of “Short Hair” rose rapidly.

has achieved almost all expectations before.

The   A list officially entered the top ten in one fell swoop. Although it was a little too short to make it into the top five, it was already an excellent result to be in the sixth place. At the same time, the 15th place on the B chart means that the sales of this single disc have begun to explode, and the sales volume last week has undoubtedly exceeded 200,000!

As for the C chart, it went straight to No. 1, surpassing Lu Xiaosui, a new female singer who had been popular for three weeks before, interrupting her consecutive championship momentum.

In fact, even last week, the theoretical peak of Lu Xiaosui’s single “Broken Heart”, it only rushed to the eleventh place on the A chart.

This week, he dropped three places to the 14th place.

“Short Hair” has definitely killed it.

At this point, it can be said that “Short Hair” has become completely popular.

A very important reason for the high gold content of the A list, especially the top ten of the A list is that once you get in, even if you don’t spend any money, those newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations, all the related media that revolve around the pop music scene. , I can’t avoid you no matter what.

In any case, always take it out and play it, and always give a little attitude.

This is called “potential”.

And people are like this, they are used to praise highs and step lows. For a new song that is already in the ascending channel and has an unusually fast momentum, everyone is more willing to say something nice.

Of course, if you are still willing to spend money at this time, you can basically be praised all over the world.

But the 800,000 yuan prepared by Kojima Records is estimated to have been spent almost at this stage.

never mind.

The momentum of “Short Hair” has already picked up, and there is more than an 80% chance of being able to top the A list next week.

is also in the top three at least!

Once it gets the honor of the champion single, this song will be completely red!

Even the results of this issue of the list have made An Xiaojing’s commercial performance price jump directly to 30,000 yuan per session!

So this time Guan Yulan went again, and the slack there was more thorough.

14%!

Xu Zhenghua was already satisfied with this price, and Guan Yulan also had a smile on her face.

5% for the lyrics and music, 1% for the arranger, 3% for the producer.

This is infinitely close to the price of a big coffee.

“Mr. Liu, happy cooperation!”

“Happy cooperation!”

The price was negotiated, and the two parties signed the contract happily.

All contracts are in duplicate, one thick stack.

Lyricist, composer, arranger, producer, as well as producer work contract, MV full-right producer work contract, a total of six copies.

See also the familiar lawyer Jiang.

He carefully reviewed it again, and then handed it to Xu Zhenghua, so the two sides signed, exchanged and signed again.

shake hands.

This Mr. Liu is named Liu Ju, about fifty years old, a little fat and a little short, like a small Maitreya Buddha, when he smiles, his eyes are narrowed into slits, and he looks extra kind.

Xu Zhenghua had such a person in his last life.

is not useful, but it must be around.

This kind of person has a wrist, can fold his eyebrows and bow his head, and is very good at infighting. If you use it in the wrong place, it will involve a lot of trouble, but when you use it correctly, it can also sort out the internal chaos in time.

“Zhenghua! Now that we have signed the contract, the next song, with Xue Lan, I will give it to you completely, do it well, our cooperation is still long!”

“That’s for sure, I’ll have to rely on you to take care of me in the future!”

Liu Ju laughed when he heard the words, more like a small Maitreya Buddha.
