Perfect Life

Zhou Hao was already very red, but now it is even more red. `But, her contract with Sony Records has ended in theory, and what the other party has now is only priority.

Therefore, if there are other companies willing to offer a price that Sony is unwilling to follow, it means that the priority will be invalid, and Zhou Ai can change the owner at any time.

The Dongguan Bookstore sold more than 27,000 copies in the listing week, and it has a good reputation among professional music critics and ordinary fans, as well as Zhou Cong's consistent status as a topical queen, unique and ethereal voice, sword The slanted Wen Qing's small qualifications, plus her good looks... All of these have made Zhou Ai become the absolute queen that every record company wants to sign immediately.

In particular, judging from the fact that Zhou Ai went to Sony Records before, it seems that she does not have to go to Minghu Culture.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zou Wenhuai has received offers from various companies.

What surprised Li Qian was that after receiving the offer, they immediately informed Qi Jie of the news—it seems that recently, Qi Jie and Zou Wenhuai had a really good chat!

Just... Xinda?

That was Zhou Hao's old club.

At this time, Qi Jie didn't care that the sound engineer was still there, she just stretched out a slap and shook it, "This is the number." After a pause, she was surprised, "Thirty songs, fifty million! "

"Huh!"

Without waiting for Li Qian to speak this time, Liao Liao couldn't help but say in surprise, "Xinda...it's ruthless!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, reached out to grab his chin, and rubbed it.

What is still fresh in my memory is that when Liao Liao's "The Sound of the Wave" was finished, the contract between Liao Liao and Changsheng Records was about to end. Xie Mingyuan once offered Liao Liao a quotation of 400,000 songs on behalf of Sony Records. ——Although later, when he asked Li Qian and Liao Liao to meet, he repeatedly emphasized. This price is still negotiable, but it is conceivable that at that time, this price. It can already represent the positioning of Liao Liao within their company.

That's right, that's it, the price represents the positioning.

And you know, at the time. Although Liao Liao has only just released two albums and her qualifications are still a little weak, both "Liao Liao" and "The Sound of the Waves" were all sold out. Titled.

It can be said that the current Zhou Hao, although suddenly climbed a big step, is nowhere near as red as Liao Liao at that time. Even if Zhou Cong's "Wizard's Tears" was sold in the next few weeks, she could still maintain her current strength, her influence and status in the music world. At best, it was equal to Liao Liao at that time.

But, thirty songs, fifty million!

No wonder Qi Jie was so surprised, it's really this price... a bit crazy!

Not to mention, in the industry, Cinda has always been known for being stingy!

They are very good at digging out new people and cultivating new people. They can always select new people with great potential from the vast crowd, and then cultivate them, and they are successful in becoming popular, but because of their stinginess. 'They can't keep the future superstars they've nurtured. In ten years, Zhao Xinfu, He Runqing, Zhou Ai... have all left.

Moreover, it is said that Huang Yuqing is also negotiating a contract with Xinda recently.

Obviously, according to the analysis of past experience. Just two years after Huang Yuqing became popular, Xinda couldn't keep it anymore.

So now... how could Xinda suddenly be so willing to throw money at it?

Did something happen?

At this time, Qi Jie shook his head slightly, and said, "I was shocked when I heard the news, and heard Zou Wenhuai's voice on the phone. He should also be very surprised. ... If this contract is signed, this It immediately became the highest buyout price in the industry. Absolutely sky-high price! But the problem is..."

"The question is..." Liao Liao took over the words before she could finish speaking, and said with a little doubt: "Can Xinda make money for spending so much money on her thirty songs?"

After a pause, she frowned and said, "This album of hers is indeed selling well, but we all know how much profit it makes from making records. Even if Zhou Cong's album sells 10 million copies, Has it reached its peak? How much is the real net profit? Fifteen million? Eighteen million?" At this point, she asked again, "By the way, Zou Wenhuai said nothing, what did the brokerage contract say? They are Isn't it required to sign a brokerage contract at the same time?"

Qi Jie nodded and said, "Industry practice, five to five."

The recording engineer's response was a bit slow, and it took a while to react. Knowing that the bosses were discussing some industry secrets, he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Li, President Qi, Sister Liao, then you talk, I think I need to make a phone call. ." Then he was about to run out, but Li Qian stopped him and said, "No need, it's time for get off work, you pack up, sort out the recording just now, and then go back to rest. Let's continue recording tomorrow!"

While speaking, he greeted Qi Jie and Liao Liao to go out.

It was already midnight, and only Wei Lan was still in Liao Liao's deputy director's office. Apart from that, the company's office area was already dark.

The three ran to Li Qian's office to sit down, and Liao Liao finally asked, "Didn't you say there is still Sony? What price did they give?"

Qi Jie replied in response: "Just about to say, this is another strange thing. Zou Wenhuai said that he received a call from Watanabe and a dozen, and Watanabe offered 30 songs, 30 million." "

When Liao Liao heard the words, he replied, "This price...it's quite normal."

Qi Jie hurriedly said at the time: "It's not about the price, the question is, who does Sony want to sign, who doesn't sign, what price to sign, and when will it be Watanabe Kazuichi's turn to call the shots?" After a while, she added: "Zou Wenhuai told me at the time that he felt that something was not quite right. Because in the past, Xie Mingyuan contacted the manager for any important matters at Sony Records. Watanabe Kazuichi was only responsible for the day-to-day affairs in the company. It's just management."

Liao Liao was stunned for a while after hearing the words, then turned to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, called up a number, put his finger on the broadcast button, hesitated for a long time, but put the mobile phone away again, and said slowly: "There must be something we don't know yet. already."

Liao Liao and Qi Jie were speechless.

In fact, although the current Minghu Culture is already the top record company in the domestic pop music scene. It is not the largest in scale, but with only two albums last year, it achieved the second place in the country in record sales. However, their rise is still too fast. Although there are already some contacts in the industry, it is still incomparable with Sony, Cinda, and Huage, which have been established in the music industry for more than ten or twenty years.

This leads to, once there are major changes in the industry, such as Sony, Huage, and Cinda. These companies are often able to quickly infer the general situation from the slightest clues, but the news of Minghu Culture is much delayed-many times, it even has to wait until the matter is almost out. Minghu Culture Only from outside reports and industry rumors can we learn a thing or two.

For example, Li Qian, Liao Liao and Qi Jie all speculated that something had happened or was happening now, but they couldn't know what the news was.

certainly. Li Qian can choose to call Xie Mingyuan.

But after thinking about it, he still decided not to make this call, at least not when he was ignorant.

So, after a while, seeing that Liao Liao and Qi Jie were both distracted, he smiled, patted Liao Liao on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, don't think about it blindly, no matter how messy they are. Let's not move like a mountain. It's gone!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao looked at Qi Jie and both nodded.

Qi Jie said: "I don't believe that this Zhou Concubine can still be poached by them!" As she spoke, she looked at Li Qian. He smiled and said, "You must be careful! As long as you pay attention to her, plus the power of Liao Liao, He Runqing, Rose, plus the four beauties, don't care how they move, we are all as stable as Mount Tai!"

Li Qian smiled and did not answer her. He just turned his head to Liao Liao and said, "Let's go, go home!"

…………

The next day is Monday.

In the morning, Li Qian was in class when he received a text message from Qi Jie.

Seeing the content of the text message clearly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows!

Holding the phone and thinking for a moment, he still smiled, put the phone back in his pocket, and continued to listen to the class and take notes.

After class, he walked out of the classroom talking and laughing with his classmates. As a result, just as he walked into the corridor, the phone rang. Li Qian greeted a few of his buddies, fell behind and answered the phone.

As soon as it was connected, Qi Jie said angrily: "I said, big boss, you really can't hold your breath, this can't make you leave half a class early?"

Li Qian smiled and didn't refute, just said: "Tell me, what's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, Qi Jieyu said very quickly: "As soon as I went to work in the morning, I heard rumors in the circle that everyone said that Watanabe and Yi have already settled Zhen Zhen and the others. The small record company of the two of them. , has decided to accept the acquisition, and the two of them will become one of the shareholders of Sony Records. Moreover, there are rumors that Zhen Zhen will sign a contract with Sony for three albums later. I don't know how many reporters will be directed at these two. company to go."

Li Qian nodded slowly, sighed indistinctly, and said, "Zhen Zhen... Xie Mingyuan wants to dig her, wants to buy the company of their husband and wife. I don't know how long I have been thinking about it, but I still can't get it." After a pause, he asked with a smile, "What about this time? Also Watanabe Kazuichi?"

After a moment of silence, Qi Jie said, "Yes."

Li Qian nodded and asked, "Is there any other news?"

After a pause, Qi Jie replied, "Zou Wenhuai called again just now, saying that Sony seems to have noticed something wrong. This morning, about half an hour or an hour ago, Watanabe and Yi called Zou Wenhuai again and again. On the phone, the price was raised to 50 million for 30 songs. It is the same as Cinda's quotation."

Li Qian frowned and said nothing.

Qi Jie paused for a moment. Seeing that Li Qian didn't speak, she continued: "According to Zou Wenhuai, after answering the call, he told Zhou Hao the phone number of Watanabe and Yi, but Zhou Hao didn't speak."

Li Qian frowned and asked, "Don't speak? What do you mean by not speaking?"

Qi Jie was silent for a moment, then said: "Zou Wenhuai told me that after receiving the offer from Xinda, thirty songs, fifty million, he just mentioned it to Zhou Ai, and Zhou Ai directly replied: 'No!' But this time, She didn't speak."

Li Qian nodded, was silent for a moment, and was about to speak when the phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and raised his eyebrows, then said to Qi Jie, "I hang up first, there is a call coming in, it's Xie Mingyuan."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and another call was connected at the same time.

Xie Mingyuan said: "Hey, Qian, have you got the news?"

Li Qian nodded, "It seems... you can no longer control some things?"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan sighed, feeling a little dejected, and then he said, "I have time to go back, take your time, let's have a drink together?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Okay! Wait for me to finish the song at hand, are you not so anxious?"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan suddenly laughed.

After laughing, he said: "Okay, that's right! I thought you would be very anxious to ask me what's going on! At least ask a few more questions? You're good, you're very calm!" Then, he Said: "You choose the time and place, how about it?"

"I choose?" Li Qian asked in surprise.

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan laughed twice, "Yes, you choose! We have met so many times. I choose the time and place. This time, it's up to you!"

Li Qian thought for a while, then smiled: "You said that, I'm really greedy! There are several stalls at the back door of our school. , my treat tonight?"

Xie Mingyuan said immediately: "Okay! That's it!"

…………

After he hung up the phone, Li Qian thought for a while, then walked downstairs and dialed Qi Jie's number.

As soon as the call was connected, Qi Jie said, "Another news!"

Li Qian smiled silently and said, "Speak!"

Qi Jie said: "Zhou Feng of Changsheng Records~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has confirmed that he will break the contract. It is said that the break-up fee will be paid by Sony Records, because he only has one album left, so it is probably 12 million for breaking the contract. Jin? It is said that besides that, Sony gave Zhou Feng a buyout contract of 13 million yuan for 30 songs. The two parties will sign a contract in the next few days."

Li Qian stopped.

Zhou Feng, the head of Changsheng Records! He was already a standout in the second-tier before. In the past two years, probably starting from the "I Think I'm the Sea" that he gave him, he has gone more and more smoothly. Up to now, although he is not qualified to enter the first-tier, he is still in the first tier. In the second tier, he is definitely one of the top performers. And the key is that he looks good, his voice is good, and the whole person is extremely malleable!

It's just that, for his 30 songs, Sony smashed 25 million in one go... Is this going crazy?

After thinking for a while, Li Qian calmly said: "Remember, you are the general manager of the company. Don't worry about the storm outside, you can't panic, and you can't be too excited. In short, stay calm!"

After a pause, he said again: "Tell Liao Liao, I will go back to the company immediately and continue recording in the morning!" (To be continued.)
