Perfect Life

Vol 2 Chapter 27: divide, split

When Qi Jie heard the words, she immediately took her satchel, took out a stack of paper and handed it over, saying, "When I arrived at their company, they had already drawn up the contract."

Hearing this, Li Qian seemed to have thought of something, so he couldn't help but smiled, took the contract and flipped through it, and found that it was four or five pages, and he couldn't help frowning again.

A big company like Huage does things naturally, and they even have a special legal department, which is responsible for filtering all the details in the contract to ensure that there are no loopholes in the contract. But for Li Qian, such complicated contract clauses are not his specialty at all, and he doesn't bother to read them carefully.

So he flipped through it roughly, put down the contract, just looked at Qi Jie, and asked, "Tell me, what are you talking about? You gave me such a contract for me to sign?"

While talking, he saw Wang Jinglu looking over curiously, so he handed the contract to her, Wang Jinglu took it, but started to look over it very seriously.

At this time, Qi Jie said: "They should have been prepared long ago, otherwise they would not have come up with the contract so soon, and the person sent over there to negotiate the contract with me is not the person last time, but a member of their company. Vice President, the specifications seem to be a step higher. This time the other party's attitude is very low. He repeatedly emphasized to me that money is not an issue, and the contract is only a preliminary draft. You can ask for any request, and everyone can do it. Talk slowly."

Hearing this, before Li Qian said anything, Liao Liaoxian sneered and said, "I know now, why did you go earlier!"

Li Qian smiled and continued to ask Qi Jie, "Have you read the contract? What conditions are they given?"

Hearing this, Qi Jie pointed at the contract in Wang Jinglu's hand, and said, "On the second and third pages, there are a lot of terms and conditions, and on the last page, I simply made a table, giving you the price of one They are all listed. They are very detailed. And they also know that it is not enough to talk to you at the moment, so they deliberately list out the song buyout money and the production cost, which is a model of fixed salary plus share. As long as it is your work, they give a song 400,000 yuan and buy out the right to use it. Then, for your salary as a producer, they also directly pay 2 million yuan. It is quite sincere. "

"As for the share, they are based on the number of works you provide and the final sales volume of the album, which is a step-by-step division. It is very complicated, but the maximum is 15%. The price of the last album, the highest, eight songs, plus the entire album supervision, 15%. There are fewer songs. Or if the sales are less than 5 million, the share will decrease."

Li Qian heard the words and nodded slowly.

It happened that after Wang Jinglu heard Qi Jie's introduction, he had turned to the last page of the table and started to read, Li Qian also took advantage of the situation and turned to take a look.

Hmm, densely packed tables.

As Qi Jie said, with the number of songs she produced from one to eight, and the sales of the album exceeded one million, two million, three million and five million, Huage Records gave The corresponding share ratios are obtained one by one.

I have to say, this time Huage did it. It made me feel a little more comfortable.

If I still write eight songs for Wuxingwusu like my last album, and the sales of the album can successfully exceed 5 million copies, then except for the same 15% split as last time, the same , you can also get an additional song buyout fee and production fee of about 5.2 million.

Give more money. Of course it means sincerity.

It's just that they made the sharing clauses in the contract so detailed that it still made people feel a little petty.

In particular, maybe they felt that the songs they wrote were the guarantee of popularity, or maybe Liao Liao's "The Sound of the Waves" was praised as "sealing ten title songs into one album", which led to sales. successive explosions. They were so greedy for them, so they also deliberately listed the number of songs they wrote for this album into the ladder, which made them even more petty.

In fact, as long as Li Qian takes this job, he will definitely make great efforts, and he will never smash his own golden brand, so in fact, they don't have to care about how many songs Li Qian will write for this album. thing. And to be honest, no matter who's work is, it's only useful if it's popular, and it's better if you sell more albums.

So, Li Qian thought about it for a while, and then said to Qi Jie: "You will call them back later and say that I said that the song buy-out fee and the production fee will be at the price they said, I have no idea. Opinions. But I don’t want to be so complicated, just give it to me to supervise the producer. If it sells less than 5 million pieces, I don’t want a cent of the money. If it exceeds 5 million pieces, I want 16%!”

Hearing this sentence, Liao Liao was the first to burst out laughing.

Then, she smiled and said to Qi Jie: "Look, look, I guessed it right? I knew he would do it like this!" Then she turned to Li Qian and said, "Tell me, what do you want ten percent of? Six, it's too cruel, it's like gouging out the flesh in people's hearts! You, let them charge 15.1%! Just a little more tail, that's interesting!"

Li Qian shook his head with a smile. Seeing Wang Jinglu look over in surprise and puzzlement, he first waved his hand and said, "Go back and explain to you." Then he said to Liao Liao, "Your idea is too bad! It is estimated that people are going to be angry and angry! Be a human! It takes 16%, and you know each other well enough!"

Qi Jie also smiled and nodded, and said, "Actually, the price of 16%, in their opinion, is already considered a must-have, right? If this price is spread, it is estimated that your reputation will be narrow-minded. How far."

Li Qian smiled and spread out his hands, "I was originally a person who was not very broad-minded!"

Liao Liao laughed.

Qi Jie shook her head and smiled bitterly.

On the other hand, Wang Jinglu's face was full of ignorance, and his eyes kept rolling back and forth on the faces of several people present.

She was the first to participate in Li Qian's work. She was curious about things like bargaining, but she didn't understand much, so she could only listen to the excitement.

At this time, Qi Jie laughed, thought for a while, and said, "That's fine, then I'll call them back and tell them what you mean."

However, at this time, Liao Liao glanced at Wang Jinglu and blinked. But suddenly said: "Hey, Xiaolu, that Wang Jingxue from Wuxing Wusu is your sister, right?"

Wang Jinglu nodded when she heard the words.

So she said, "Actually, tell me. You don't have to be so troublesome, let your sister quit the group over there, sign to Li Qian's studio to fly solo, and let Li Qian make an album for her, right?"

This is the second time Li Qian has heard this suggestion within 24 hours.

And this time. The person who said this was actually Liao Liao, an insider.

Facing Wang Jinglu's inquiring gaze, Li Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that everyone is really optimistic!

But the question is, is it really as easy as they think?

Now that the studio has been established and has its own site, do you really want to sign whoever you want? Who do you want to support?

What a joke!

Do you really think that so many big and small record companies in the industry are all paper?

Making albums, releasing records, and supporting people, if it were really that easy and simple, it's hard to say, at least dozens of studios would pop up in the blink of an eye!

Yes, that's right. As long as you are willing to support it, as long as the opponent's strength is not too bad, it is not really that the mud can't support the wall, and if you only talk about the quality of the songs and the album level, you can indeed guarantee that you will be popular!

Just relying on the song resources in his hand, it is hard to say if there are too many. At least in the golden period of the recording industry in the next ten years, it will definitely not be a problem to hold ten or eight popular stars!

But the problem is, a singer. To be popular, or not to be popular, is never simply determined by the quality of the album!

As a newcomer, I just wrote some songs and made two albums as a behind-the-scenes staff member. Then open a studio and sign people everywhere? And then release an album like crazy? And then sell like crazy?

That's not reality, that's fiction.

And it's science fiction.

Li Qian originally thought that even if Qi Jie didn't understand, Liao Liao, as an insider, had been messing around in the circle for several years. He should be able to think of it, so when he heard her say that, he couldn't help being a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood - after all, no matter how smart Liao Liao is, he is still too young.

And to be honest, although she has also sung in some bars, and she was born as an underground singer, her rise is really fast!

After singing for less than a year, he successfully signed on to Changsheng Records, and then he released his first single smoothly. He also received good reviews in the industry, so that the boss directly approved a large amount of money for him. She made an album, and then the first album became a big hit. No matter where she went, she was regarded as the top star. Up to now, the second album continues to sell well, and she is even considered to have surpassed the eldest sister Zhen Zhen, and is already the "first sister" in the domestic music circle.

So, maybe in singing, she has always been conscientious and dedicated, but in terms of her identity and status, she would never have thought of it at all. To create a studio, it does not mean that there is her, plus On yourself, that's enough.

At this time, from Liao Liao's remarks, Li Qian instantly remembered the fact that she had been running to see the progress of the studio decoration in recent days, and the more she realized in her heart.

At this time, he thought about it and asked with a smile: "It seems that we have talked about this topic before, and now we might as well take it out and talk about it again. I won't talk about Sister Jingxue, just you, Liao Liao. You sign in to the studio. , I will make an album for you. For the current domestic music scene, fans may not know it, but these domestic record companies should all know it, right? Let's make an album together, which should be a big sales volume. Guarantee? Then, after we have finished the album, we need to find a company to release it. Guess, those big and small record companies will compete to raise the price, or will they lower the price tacitly?"

Liao Liao was stunned when he heard the words, and then frowned, showing a thoughtful look.

Li Qian smiled, leaned back on the sofa slightly slack, and said with a smile, "Your contract with Changsheng Records is over, so when you come to the studio, no one can say anything, no matter how reluctant Chen Changsheng is, he can't say anything. What is coming, maybe he will be glad that you didn't go to Sony, Huage, or Xinda after all, plus you and him, I and him, after all, we still have a little friendship, so, after you signed it, that's it. After signing it, he has a request in the future, so I will give him a few more songs. Then, if I dig Sister Jingxue over, guess, Huage Records will be directly angry?"

When Liao Liao heard the words, he remained silent.

At this time, Li Qian put away his smile, sighed slowly, and then said with a wry smile: "In the music world, it sounds like a place to play art, but in fact, as long as you come in a little, you will know that this is the Complete Vanity Fair! I said just now that I am not broad-minded enough, but in fact, when you look in this circle, in front of interests, who is a broad-minded person?"

Having said this, he paused, and his expression turned firm.

"The studio is about to be renovated, and it's about to open, but let me say hello in advance, including me, including you, Liao Liao, and Sister Qi, let's not be so optimistic! It's exaggerated, but it's absolutely not wrong to survive in the cracks!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao and Qi Jie nodded in unison.

After a while, Liao Liao said: "I understand what you mean! Well, it's too easy for me to think. But..." She smiled, facing everyone's eyes, and said proudly: "It's not that we didn't leave the difficult time. It's over, it's a big deal, just go through it all over again! You, add me, I don't believe we can't do it!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this.

"Then let's do it and show them!" he said.

But Qi Jie heard the words and quickly added, "It's better to be careful about being a person and doing things carefully! Let's go through the initial stage first! Well, at the beginning, it doesn't matter if you recognize the slaughter!"

Li Qian nodded when he heard the words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but smiled again: "It's not enough to recognize the slaughter! Next, whether it's for Changsheng Records, or Sony, including Huage, I will definitely have to do it for a while. Send a fortune boy and help others earn some money!"

Qi Jie and Liao Liao smiled helplessly when they heard the words.

Obviously, they understood the meaning of Li Qian's words as soon as they heard it.

To put it bluntly, it is just to continue to help others write songs and make albums, and if you have a good relationship, you can release your own albums through other people's channels - to survive in the cracks, this is not true at all!

But Liao Liao thought about it, but said: "Three years! After three years, let's try to make them go from tacitly lowering prices to rushing to shout high prices!"
