Chapter 69: Everything is ready
"Liu Xiaoxia's last song was recorded. ”
At noon, Rongyi received a call from Li Lin and learned about it from her.
He discussed with Yan Tao a few times before, and gave Liu Xiaoxia two or three days to watch those bloody love TV series, so as to get some inspiration to record the song "Torment".
Didn't think it had only been a day, and it was already done?
But Rong Yi is very sure that Li Lin will not lie to himself, and Yan Tao of Yuanli Recording Studio will not be perfunctory, especially at this critical time.
As long as the quality of Liu Xiaoxia's recording does not meet his requirements, it will not be passed.
"How's that going?"
"Yan Tao from Yuanli contacted me and said that Liu Xiaoxia's talent is very high, and the emotional expression of the song "Torment" is very good. said that she is definitely a rising star in the music industry, and is very optimistic about her future. ”
Li Lin smiled when he said this: "I think his words are a bit conservative, I think Xiao Xia has the qualifications of a diva." After the post-production of this song is completed, you can apply for the Golden Melody Award and catch the last train. ”
"Zhang Yue's side is almost done, right?"
"Well, two people are about the same. Li Lin still knows a lot about these things.
But she has a lot of things to take care of: "By the way, the Mango Satellite TV "Singer" program team agreed to the things you proposed, including copyright. All you need to do is agree, and tomorrow the program team will send someone to the magic capital to sign a contract.
After this matter is completed, they will officially announce the list of the new season of "Singer" in the near future, and there will be a wave of hype, and you will need to cooperate with it then. ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
It doesn't matter if you're honored, as long as it's not malicious hype.
...
The next day, the producer of the "Singer" program team went to the magic capital in person to sign a contract with Rongyi. He, the producer of Mango Satellite TV's well-known programs, has a high status in the circle.
This can be regarded as the importance of honor.
Of course, Rongyi can also afford this attention.
For a music competition variety show, word-of-mouth is important, but more important is the ratings and influence. Not to mention anything else, as long as you are proud to participate in this show, the ratings will definitely double.
If there are ratings, there will be a large number of brand manufacturers advertising in "Singer", and the next season will only be there when the show makes money, and these staff will have more bonuses.
"Hello Producer Xu. ”
In the conference room of Rongyi's studio, Rongyi greeted the man in charge. In addition to him, there are several staff members of the program team, as well as several lawyers.
On the other hand, on the Rongyi side, there is Li Lin, the general manager of the studio, and the lawyer of the law firm who has reached a cooperation agreement with the studio.
This law firm is mainly for the entertainment industry, for those commercial contracts.
"Hello Mr. Rong. ”
In fact, this time the contract was signed, and Rongyi just signed it. The specific content of the contract is controlled by the studio staff and lawyers, and if there is something unreasonable, it will not be put on the table to negotiate.
So when the lawyer watched the contract word by word, Rongyi chatted with the producer and chatted nonsense.
Not long after, Rongyi got a signal from his lawyer and signed the contract.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Rong Yi stretched out his hand and said.
"It was a pleasure to work with. The producer smiled, then shook Rongyi's hand.
When Rongyi was about to leave them for a meal, they refused, saying that there was something else to do.
In this regard, Rongyi did not force it.
However, as soon as she left the conference room, Li Lin called Rong Yi to her office and started a conversation about a question.
"Xiaoyi, are you sure that when you participate in "Singer", except for the first issue, you are going to use your new songs?"
The rules of "Singer" are that the participating singers in the first phase can sing their own masterpieces, and then rearrange the songs of other people to interpret them.
It can also be regarded as a cover of someone else's masterpiece.
That's the rule, but there's no limit to original songs. Because the new song suffers a lot in this kind of program, and it is not an original music competition program.
Let's put it this way, the popularity of a singer's masterpiece will reach a very high level, and there will be a certain audience.
And for an original song, it is much more difficult to get the approval of others.
It's like the light novel genre in the web novel.,It's much easier to get results in the fanfic series.。 If you write an original genre, you will either be a god or hit the street.
It depends on whether the worldview created by the author will be recognized by readers.
"Well, it's better to use your own songs. Besides, didn't this show cause a copyright storm before?" Rong Yi's words made Li Lin directly dispel the idea of persuasion.
In fact, when the singer covered other people's songs last season, he was not authorized and was poked out by the original author. This can be a big stab, and in the end, the program team apologized and lost money, and fired several employees who took the blame.
In fact, there is another reason why Rongyi sings original.
That's the [Boutique Songs + 500 Fruits] he bought for 50 million popularity points, so why do you have to get it back? If you don't sing these songs, but cover the masterpieces of Blue Star singers, then the popularity value he gets will be greatly reduced, right?
With his own musical compositions brought from the earth, he has no scruples about this.
In addition, among the issues that Rongyi asked Li Lin to discuss with the "Singer" program team, in addition to copyright, there was also the matter of him singing original songs.
The copyright proceeds go to Rongyi, not the program group.
At most, they provide a platform.
It is unlikely that a normal singer wants to take money out of Mango TV's pocket, but Rongyi has the capital to negotiate with it. But there is a give-and-take, he wants the copyright, so he has to compromise in terms of appearance fees.
"Since you've decided, then I won't force it. One thing you have to be careful about is that if you're going to use an original song, you'll have to do it from start to finish. Changing to cover someone else's song halfway through will disappoint the audience.
Not only that, but the quality must be well controlled, and you must not think that you can sweep all singers just because you are popular. ”
Rong Yi nodded: "I know Aunt Lin, even if there are my fans among the 500 public judges, they may not be others." This is not a complete contest for popularity, let alone a vote among fans. ”
In this regard, Li Lin didn't say anything more, she was sure that Rong Yi was not just a matter of will.
"In addition to these things, there is a letter of intent agreement from the car company sent to our studio, and the endorsement price is quite high, do you have any ideas?"
"I don't want to take it, I really don't want to take it. Rong Yi refused without hesitation.
This is not possible with the law of true incense.
"Aunt Lin, you know, I don't really like to drive, even those luxury sports cars. My fans know about this, so pure chafan endorsement is not interesting. ”
Lanxing Rongyi really doesn't like to drive, he prefers to buy a house for investment. And driving a sports car is insensitive to gratitude, worried that he will get into a car accident while enjoying the thrill of speed.
As a traverser of the earth, he likes the meaning of these cars rather than luxury sports cars.
Rich man's toy, and he wants to be rich.
Now as a top idol star, he doesn't need to drive a sports car to pretend to be a flirtatious girl, so there is no need for this.
"In fact, I am also inclined to refuse, although the price is higher, but this is the endorsement of new energy vehicles. ”
Li Lin's words are even more firm in the idea of Rongyi, new energy vehicles are emerging products after all, and there are endless questions about spontaneous combustion of batteries and automobiles.
Even if it is a small probability problem, once there is an accidental death of the car owner, it is a big problem.
Rongyi has too many fans, and most of his endorsement products avoid sensitive minefields.
Among the endorsements of clothing, food, housing and transportation, there is nothing wrong with clothing endorsements, it is impossible to wear clothes and have accidents, right? But he will be cautious about endorsements such as housing, food and cars.
Or to make an endorsement for the real estate and automobile industries, Rongyi refuses in his heart.
When it comes to food, you have to be more picky.
"Say no, don't give the other person any illusions. ”
"Okay. ”
