Chapter 178 Divided, Cracked

Upon hearing this, Qi Jie immediately took her satchel, took out a stack of papers from it, 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, couldn't help but smiled, took the contract and flipped through it, and found that there were only four or five pages, so he couldn't help frowning again.

A big company like Hua Ge naturally does things in a disciplined manner. They even have a special legal department that is responsible for filtering out all the details in the contract to ensure that there are no loopholes in the contract. But for Li Qian, such complicated contract clauses were not his specialty at all, and he didn'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 did you guys talk about? You gave me such a contract to sign?"

While speaking, he saw Wang Jinglu looking over curiously, so he handed her the contract. Wang Jinglu took it and read it from the beginning very seriously.

At this time Qi Jie said: "They should have been prepared a long time ago, otherwise they would not have come up with the contract so soon, and the person sent to negotiate the contract with me over there is not the person from last time, it is someone from their company The vice president, the standard seems to be higher. This time the other party's attitude is very low, and he has repeatedly emphasized to me that money is not a problem, and the contract is only a preliminary draft. You can put forward any requirements, and everyone can do it. Take your time."

After hearing this, before Li Qian said anything, Liao Liao sneered and said, "Now that I know, why did I go so early!"

Li Qian smiled, didn't answer, and continued to ask Qi Jie, "Then have you read the contract? What are the conditions?"

Hearing this, Qi Jie pointed to the contract in Wang Jinglu's hand, and said, "On the second and third pages, there are a lot of clauses listed, and on the last page, I simply made a form to list the price I will give you. List them all in great detail. And they also know that it’s not enough to just talk to you right now, so they deliberately listed out the money for the song’s buyout and the production cost, which is a model of fixed salary plus share. For example, as long as it is your work, they will give 400,000 yuan to a song and buy out the right to use it. Then, they will directly pay 2 million yuan for your salary as a producer, which is quite sincere."

"As for the share, they make a step-by-step share based on the number of works you provide and the final sales of the album. It is very complicated, but the highest is 15%. Basically, it continues what you have done for Wuxingwusu The price of the last album, the highest, eight songs, plus the entire album's producer, 15%. If there are fewer songs, or sales are less than five million, the share will be reduced."

Hearing this, Li Qian nodded slowly.

It happened that after Wang Jinglu listened to Qi Jie's introduction, she turned to the last page of the form and began to look at it. Li Qian also took advantage of the situation and turned sideways to take a look.

Well, densely packed tables.

As Qi Jie said, with the number of songs he produced from one to eight, and the sales of albums exceeding one million, two million, three million, and five million, etc., Huage Records has given A one-to-one corresponding proportion is established.

I have to say that what Hua Ge did this time made people feel a little more comfortable.

If I still write eight songs for Wu Xing Wu Su like the last album, and the sales of the album can successfully exceed five million copies, then except for the same 15% share as last time , You can also get an additional song buyout fee and producer fee of about 5.2 million.

Giving more money naturally represents sincerity.

It's just that they have stipulated the share terms in the contract in such detail, it still makes people feel a little petty.

In particular, maybe they feel that the songs they write are the guarantee of popularity, or maybe Liao Liao's "Sound of the Waves" is praised as "encapsulating ten title songs into one album", which triggered sales. The successive explosions made them very greedy, so they deliberately included the number of songs they wrote for this album into the division ladder, which made them even more petty.

In fact, as long as Li Qian accepts this job, he will definitely work hard, and will never smash his own golden signboard, so in fact, they don't have to care that Li Qian will write a few songs for this album thing. And to be honest, no matter whose work is popular, it will be useful if it is popular, and it will be useful if it sells more albums.

So, Li Qian thought about it for a while, and said to Qi Jie, "Call them back later, and just say that I said it. The song buyout fee and producer fee, just follow the price they said. I don't have any." Opinion. But share, I don’t want such a complicated one, leave it to me to supervise the production, if it sells less than five million copies, I don’t want a cent of the share, more than five million copies, 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 guess right? I knew he would do it like this!" Then she turned to Li Qian and said, "Tell me, what do you want 10% Six, that's too ruthless, it's like gouging out people's hearts! You, just let them ask for 15.1%! Just a little extra tail, that's interesting!"

Li Qian smiled and shook his head. Seeing Wang Jinglu looking over in surprise and puzzlement, he waved his hand first and said, "I'll explain to you when I get back." Then he said to Liao Liao: "Your idea is too bad! If you really want to do that, It is estimated that people will become angry from embarrassment! Be a human being! Sixteen percent is required, as long as we know each other well!"

Qi Jie also nodded with a smile, and said, "Actually, in their eyes, the price of 16% is probably a must-have, right? If this price is spread, your reputation will probably be narrow-minded. How far."

Li Qian smiled and spread his hands, "I'm not a very broad-minded person in the first place!"

Liao Liao laughed loudly.

Qi Jie shook her head and smiled wryly.

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

It was the first time for her to participate in Li Qian's work. She was curious about these bargaining and other things, but she didn't quite understand them, so she could only listen to the excitement.

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

However, at this time, Liao Liao glanced at Wang Jinglu, blinked his eyes, but suddenly said: "Hey, Xiaolu, that Wang Jingxue from Wuxingwusu is your sister, right?"

Wang Jinglu nodded upon hearing this.

So she said: "Actually, tell me, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, let your sister directly quit the group over there, sign to Li Qian's studio to fly solo, and let Li Qian make an album for her?"

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

But this time, it was Liao Liao, an expert who said this sentence.

Faced with Wang Jinglu's questioning gaze, Li Qian couldn't help but smile wryly.

It seems that everyone is really optimistic!

But the question is, are things really as easy as they think?

Now that the studio has been established and it has its own territory, it is true that you can sign whoever you want? You can support whoever you want?

What a joke!

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

Making albums, releasing records, and popularizing people, if it is really that easy and simple, it’s hard to say if there are too many, at least dozens of studios will pop up in this circle in the blink of an eye!

Yes, that's right, as long as I am willing to give it my all, as long as the opponent's strength is not too bad, it's not that the mud can't support the wall, but if it's just the quality of the songs and the level of the album, I can indeed guarantee that one will be popular!

Just relying on the song resources in my hands, it's hard to say if there are too many, at least in the golden period of the record industry in the next ten years, it will definitely not be a problem to win ten or eight popular stars!

But the problem is, whether a singer is popular or not is never determined solely by the quality of the album!

As a newcomer, I just wrote some songs and made two albums as a behind-the-scenes staff, and then opened a studio and signed people everywhere? Then release an album like crazy? 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 who had been in the circle for several years, should be able to figure it out, so when she first heard her say that, he couldn't help but He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood—after all, no matter how smart Liao Liao was, he was still too young.

And to be honest, even though she had also been a resident singer in some bars, and she was born as an underground singer, her rise was really too fast!

After less than a year of selling and singing, he successfully signed to Changsheng Records, and then successfully released his first single, which also received good reviews from the industry, so much so that the boss directly approved a large sum 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 has even been considered to have surpassed the eldest sister Zhen Zhen, and is already the "first sister" in the domestic music scene.

So, perhaps she has always been conscientious and diligent in singing, but in terms of her status and status, she would never have imagined that she would start a studio, not because of her. It's enough to be yourself.

At this time, from Liao Liao's words, Li Qian immediately thought of the fact that she ran to see the progress of the studio's renovation in the past few days, and suddenly became more aware in her heart.

At this time, he thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "It seems that we have talked about this topic before, so we might as well talk about it again now. Don't talk about Sister Jingxue, just talk about 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 record companies in China should all know it? If we make an album together, it should be a big hit Guaranteed? Then, we have finished the album, and we need to find a company to release it on our behalf. Guess, those big and small record companies will compete to raise the price, or will they tacitly lower the price?"

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

Li Qian smiled, leaned on the back of the sofa a little loosely, 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." Why, maybe he will be glad that you didn't go to Sony, Huage, or Cinda after all, and you and him, I and him, after all, we still have a little friendship after all, so, if you sign over, it's okay. Signed here, at worst, if he has a request in the future, I'll just give him a few more songs. Then, if I recruit Sister Jingxue, guess, Huage Records will immediately become angry from embarrassment?"

Liao Liao was silent when he heard the words.

At this time, Li Qian put away his smile, sighed slowly, and then smiled wryly: "The music world, it sounds like a place for playing art, but in fact, as long as you come in for a while, you will know that this is the real music industry." Vanity Fair through and through! I just said that I am not broad-minded enough, but in fact, if you look in this circle, who is a broad-minded person in front of interests?"

Having said that, he paused, and his expression became resolute.

"The studio is about to be renovated, and it will open soon after the decoration is completed. However, I would like to say hello in advance, including me, including you, Liao Liao, and sister Qi. Let's not be so optimistic! It is difficult to walk, maybe some Exaggeration, but the words of surviving in the cracks are definitely not wrong!"

Liao Liao and Qi Jie nodded in unison upon hearing the words.

After a while, Liao Liao said: "I understand what you mean! Well, I thought it was too easy. But..." She smiled, met the eyes of everyone, and said proudly: "It's not like we never walked out of the difficult time. But, it’s a big deal to go all over from the beginning! 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 hurriedly added a sentence, "It's better to be careful in life and work carefully! Let's get through the initial stage first! Well, in the beginning, it doesn't matter even if you admit the slaughter!"

Li Qian nodded when he heard the words, but smiled again: "It's not enough just to admit the slaughter! Next, whether it's for Changsheng Records, or Sony, including Huage, I will definitely be a rich boy and help others for a period of time." Make some money!"

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

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

To put it bluntly, I just continue to help people write songs and make albums, and only after building a good relationship can I release my own album through other channels-survive in the cracks, this is absolutely true!

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