Chapter Ninety-Nine: Restarting the Song Selling Project
Although Xu Bunian didn't want Chen Qi to take such a big risk alone, he was actually a little empty in his heart. He believed that Chen Qi's ability was correct, but they were still in contact with a field that they had never been exposed to before.
However, if Chen Qi needs it, he also has the courage to invest all his family wealth into it. As early as the time he resigned from Blueprint, he was ready to take a desperate gamble.
Subsequently, under Chen Qi's own leadership, he and Xu Bunian drew up a simple contract.
In this contract, Chen Qi has only one special request, that is, all the copyrights of the film belong to him.
Xu Bunian naturally has no opinion.
Not to mention that he took out the script, his request is not too much in terms of investment ratio alone.
After signing the contract, Chen Qi asked Xu Bulai to be the producer of the film, and he was responsible for the scheduling of the entire crew and various preparations, including signing contracts with actors and various staff.
Xu Bunian readily agreed.
Although he had never been exposed to this work before, it was a great opportunity for him to learn from various experiences.
Now it is not only Chen Qi who needs to learn and grow, but he also needs it.
He can't do imaginative work such as directing and screenwriting, but he is still very good at this kind of behind-the-scenes work.
As long as he is given a chance to try, he has absolute confidence to do a good job as a producer.
If nothing else, after trying this movie, they really have the experience and ability to independently produce film and television dramas.
arranged a position for Xu Bunian, Chen Qi himself was not idle, he hung himself in the position of producer, and he was probably responsible for the progress of the movie and the like.
As for the salaries of Zhao Wubai and the staff, it is enough to open it according to the normal market, and it doesn't matter if it is a little higher.
After discussing all these big and small matters, Chen Qi left Future Film and Television, and handed over all the trivial matters prepared in the early stage to Xu Bunian and Zhou Xiao to deal with.
Maybe it's because they made too many calls just now, or maybe Chen Qi's attention is really high during this time, and at the same time that he left the future film and television, the news that he was preparing to make a movie also spread in a small range in the circle.
Many film and television companies know about this gossip.
After hearing the news, those bigwigs just smiled faintly, and they all subconsciously felt that Chen Qi was too self-conscious.
After filming an online drama and making some money, it swelled to the point that I couldn't recognize myself?
How can the film market come in so well!
When the time comes, you will have a blue nose and swollen face, I'm afraid it will be light, and if you don't get it right, you will probably be hit and doubt your life.
None of these bigwigs in the circle are optimistic about Chen Qi, and they don't even think that he can organize this project.
Who would be foolish enough to invest in such an arrogant newcomer?
In their eyes, making a big hit web drama doesn't mean much.
It's just that at this time, they didn't know that the reason why Chen Qi called them was not just to attract investment.
They didn't expect that Chen Qi would be so bold as to decide to invest in this film on his own.
Otherwise, I don't know what they will be shocked into.
What's more interesting is that because Zhou Xiao has been silent for too long, there is almost no media paying attention to him at this stage, so the preparation of "Nobody" has not attracted any attention inside and outside the circle.
......
On the way back to the rental house, Chen Qi received a call from the intermediary brother.
The house he wanted was found. Coincidentally, it's in a nice neighborhood near his studio.
Chen Qi immediately rushed over to take a look.
This is a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, which is the high-rise he wants, and it also has a large balcony. The net indoor area written in the house book is more than 80 square meters.
What surprised Chen Qi even more was that the straight-line distance of this community from his studio should not be more than a mile.
He was very interested and took a tour of the room.
Very simple decoration, it may be that the house has been unoccupied for a while, and he can clearly see some dust. In addition to this, the house is furnished with some simple furniture and appliances. However, the agent said that if he didn't need it, the homeowner could move them all.
The intermediary brother also gossiped and told him that the owner of this house is a big man who owns more than a dozen properties!
Chen Qi smiled, but didn't gossip with him.
After taking a closer look around, he was very interested in this house and decided to rent it directly.
The three-year contract will be signed.
Signing the contract, paying the money, giving the keys, the whole process was done in one go, and the intermediary brother was so happy.
In his sycophant words, he likes this kind of simple and generous boss!
The landlord was also very efficient, and immediately after signing the contract, he called someone to come over and take away all the things that Chen Qi didn't want.
Except for the range hood in the kitchen and the air conditioner in the two rooms, Chen Qi asked them to move everything away, because it was too troublesome to dismantle the range hood and air conditioner, and he didn't bother to toss.
When the landlord arranged for someone to clean up, Chen Qi called Su Xiaoxiao and asked her to come over here.
After more than half an hour, Su Xiaoxiao hurried over.
"When you buy furniture, you buy the things here, the bed, the sofa, the dining table and chairs, or the same sentence, you look at the layout. Chen Qi once again became the shopkeeper.
He is lazy when he can.
"Oh. Su Xiaoxiao replied and didn't say anything.
"How's going on in the studio?" asked Chen Qi.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly replied: "The decoration has been finished and cleared, and I have already contacted the cleaning staff, and you can come over at any time." I have also researched office equipment and furniture appliances in the market, and have reached preliminary purchase intentions with several suppliers. ”
"Okay, then you're busy, I'm leaving. Give her the key to the community, Chen Qi left with a word.
"Try to set it up here before you start school, my house over there is about to expire. ”
“...... Good. ”
......
Leaving the community, Chen Qi walked to the studio to have a look, and left with confidence after making sure that the decoration effect was not much different from the original request.
After returning to the rental house, Chen Qi liquidated his family background.
There are more than 15 million funds available.
Obviously a little nervous.
Of course, this money plus Xu Bunian's five million should have no problem to finish the filming, but the publicity and promotion after that may be a bit hanging.
As far as he knew, a lot of money would also be needed on the publicity side.
Is there any way to make a lot of money in a short period of time?
Chen Qi remembered his real purpose when he went to work at Blueprint Advertising.
Why don't you restart the project of selling songs?
With his current connections, there must be no problem in finding a popular singer or something.
After thinking about it, he opened his notebook and began to learn about the music scene in this world.
He had listened to the music songs of this world more than once before, and he had also found a lot of good songs. But at that time, he was just listening, and he didn't know about the circle in detail.
After searching with a few keywords, Chen Qi saw that the reports of major media were such as why the music scene continues to be sluggish, why the domestic music market is becoming more and more sluggish, why many musicians are groping for transformation, what songwriters are having a bad time, etc.
Chen Qi couldn't laugh or cry. How can these reports feel like the music scene is going to end at any time?
He carefully looked at the dates of these reports and made sure they were all published recently.
Chen Qi was a little skeptical, and said that the music fault in this world is also so serious?
After thinking about it, he found the world's giant music website and clicked on it. After a few glances at it, he saw the most conspicuous list of new songs.
He clicked directly on the first one.
The music soon sounded.
Chen Qi listened quietly, and after listening to it for half a minute, he couldn't help but glance at the lyrics, and then closed the page with a bitter face.
What the hell is this!!
That's the song that came first on the new song chart?
Chen Qi exhaled lightly and clicked on the second one.
And then the third one......
Song 4......
After seeing the quality of the number one on the charts, he actually didn't have much hope for the following songs.
is like that in the first place, how good can the songs in the back be?
And the end result did not disappoint him.
Touching his conscience, he really didn't find any difference between these songs at the bottom of the ranking and the one at the top.
He didn't even know what kind of technical means the site used to rank these songs. It's really hard for them.
Where is this new song list, it's completely worse than the bad list!
At this moment, Chen Qi felt that the evaluations of the media just now were already very subtle. If the current music songs are really of this quality, then it is not a problem of recession, it is simply a disaster!
After a moment of silence, he looked for other lists on the site. What is the red song list, the click list, and the soaring list......
As long as it is a list on the homepage, he clicks on it.
After spending nearly an hour on various lists, he gave up this way of torturing himself.
He turned around and looked for some playlists, some classic songs, and then, his broken heart finally recovered.
Subsequently, he searched for popular singers in recent years.
After getting busy, he really found a few singers who met his own aesthetics.
Some of these singers are still active in the entertainment industry, some have faded out due to the market downturn, and some have simply quit the music industry to change careers to acting.
After carefully understanding the information of these singers, Chen Qi finally selected a powerful female singer-songwriter.
The strength of this female singer is very strong, and it can be said that she is the leader of the new generation, an existence closest to the position of the diva.
If you use the classical fantasy system to describe it, this is a ...... Half-step diva!
