Chapter 231: Why Do You Apologize, I Must Forgive
A song like "Fairy Tale" sold more than 1 million copies in two weeks, and although the sales volume will decline later, it is no problem to sell 10 million copies on the whole platform within 1 year.
Coupled with the copyright sold to KTV, mobile phone CRBT copyright fees, etc., it is easy for him to earn back 10 million within 1 year.
10 million is not an exaggeration.
On the earth, even Dahuaguo, which is indifferent to copyright awareness, once had an example of a saliva song earning more than 200 million yuan a year through various channels, and the CRBT alone was sold 70 million times, and the sales reached 140 million.
At that time, the songwriter made a lot of money, and got more than 20 million in half a year.
If you look at it in the long run, "Fairy Tale" will definitely bring Du Caige more than 20 million after-tax benefits within 10 years.
But if you sell out the song, you must at least make a discount on the expected revenue.
Then considering that Xie Yunzi is the cousin of her sister's sworn friend, she has to give another discount.
After a moment of silence, Du Caige gave an offer: "8 million, I'll give you a song worth this money." β
Xie Yunzi first showed a stunned look, and then a pair of delicate eyebrows twisted up.
Immediately after that, the muscles at the corners of his eyes and mouth tensed, and an uncontrollable anger appeared on his face, as well as a trace of grievance.
"What a girl who doesn't know how to hide her emotions. Actually, it's quite simple. Of course, Du Caige didn't say it, but just commented in his heart.
At the same time, he was well aware that the deal had fallen apart.
The shouting price of 800 can actually be discussed, and 7 million is not impossible.
If Xie Yunzi's cousin agrees to give some other benefits in exchange, 6 million is barely acceptable.
But looking at Xie Yunzi's expression now, she knew that she was too surprised by this price, which was far from the price in her mind.
Thinking of the first time she negotiated, she dared to open her mouth for 800,000 yuan to buy out Ningxia, she should not know the true value of her songs at all.
Du Caige estimates that her psychological price this time is 2 million, at most 3 million.
But Du Caige will not sell the classic songs he brought so cheaply.
Songs of this grade like "Fairy Tale" and "The First Time" are barely acceptable if they can be sold out for 3 million on the earth, after all, China's copyright protection on the earth is not strong, and the income that a good song can bring is not very high.
But in Azure Star Dahuaguo, it would be stupid to sell it out at such a price.
No matter how friendly the price is, it will not be discounted to this extent.
In order to prevent this little girl from saying anything that is difficult to take back and embarrassing, Du Caige smiled: "You think about it slowly, don't rush to give me an answer, go back and discuss it with your parents and your agent." I still have something to do, so let's not talk about it, bye-bye. β
After speaking, he passed Xie Yunzi and wanted to go straight to the recording studio.
As a result, before he could take two steps, the little girl behind him had already erupted, crying and shouting: "Hemingway! You are so insincere! I apologized to you in such a low profile, and you still refuse to forgive me!"
Du Caige stopped and sighed in his heart.
First of all, I don't really blame you.
Secondly, even if I blame you, why should I forgive you if you apologize?
Finally, you say that your attitude is called low-profile? I beg you to never speak to me in a low profile again.
But he didn't turn around, and he didn't say what he was complaining about.
If he was ten years younger, he might complain to his face and quarrel with Xie Yunzi.
But now...... I'm 30 years old, no, I should be 34.
Why bother with an ignorant young man?
"How the hell are you going to forgive me! I just want to buy you a song!" Xie Yunzi's voice trembled, as if she was about to cry "wow" in the next second.
Du Caige was not as angry as before, but more ridiculous.
What kind of tutor does this have to be to teach such a strange three views?
When I was in contact with Xie Jinyu before, that child was quite normal.
Why is her cousin so naΓ―ve and unreasonable?
He raised his legs and continued to walk, and without looking back, he said, "8 million." Go and talk to your parents, I don't want to see you anymore, I don't want to talk to you anymore, that's all. β
Xie Yunzi stood in place, her eyes were red, and she was so aggrieved that she was about to shed tears.
......
When Du Caige walked into the recording studio, he looked at him with a strange gaze.
Obviously, many people noticed Xie Yunzi's crying.
Du Caige didn't care, he didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment.
Yu Yu's affairs have been worrying.
He really didn't want such a talented singer to fall, but he couldn't think of any good way.
Even if he has 30 million on hand, he is not willing to use the 30 million to pay Yu Yu's liquidated damages, and he is not a fool.
If he did this, he would only be fueling the arrogance of those people.
And he and Yu Yu are not related, and there is no reason to help each other with such a huge amount of money.
If it is 3 million, he will be out, which is the love of the seniors for the juniors.
But if he pays back 30 million, it will be the No. 1 Kaizi in Tianzi.
Now he can only wait for Yan Yingzhen's reply.
He forced himself to concentrate and listened to Jiang Youxi's singing.
At this time, he did not officially start recording, but asked Jiang Youxi to use these high-end equipment to seriously figure out, find his own shortcomings, and seek improvements.
After listening for a while, Du Caige beckoned.
The natural assistant Li Jiaqi pointed at herself, and then ran over in small steps and bowed 90 degrees. "Mr. Hemingway!"
The little guy is not tall, he looks like he should only be 1.5 meters, but he is really a small meat bullet.
She was wearing a white polo shirt but she hadn't buttoned it yet, and when she bent over, the top half of the pair of balls was all exposed, I really don't know if it was intentional, or if it was natural, I didn't realize it.
Du Caige naturally ignored it, and waited for her to straighten up before looking into her eyes and saying, "Xiao Jiang's voice is not in a good state, what's the matter?"
Li Jiaqi immediately explained: "That's the case, Mr. Hemingway, Mr. Jiang has practiced a little too much in the past few days, and he is still repeatedly stopping his daytime recording late at night, finding faults, not getting enough sleep, and drinking too much tea at night, so ......"
Du Caige listened patiently, and only gave a conclusion: "I don't care what the reason is, in short, his voice is not in good condition, that is, your assistant is not qualified." He now has only one assistant for you, and you have to serve his work and take care of his life. β
Li Jiaqi's tears were about to come out, and she bowed 90 degrees again: "Yes...... I'm sorry! I'll improve it right away!"
Du Caige is really in a bad mood, otherwise he wouldn't be so harsh with a little girl. He also realized that his words were a bit heavy, nodded and said, "Take him to a familiar doctor today, let his throat recover as soon as possible, don't wait until the official recording is still like this." β
"Yes!"
......
Xie Shengping found his niece in the fire escape.
This place is usually deserted, and no one will come here except for the aunt who cleans.
Xie Yunzi sat on the stairs, not caring at all that her beloved dress was soiled.
She buried her head in her arms and cried so hard that her shoulders swayed, crying like a wronged child.
Xie Shengping sighed in his heart.
In our eyes, you will always be a child who does not grow up, and you are so cute.
But in the eyes of others, they will think that you are still so naΓ―ve when you should grow up, and they will stay away from you.
Xie Shengping walked over, deliberately letting his footsteps land very heavily.
Xie Yunzi immediately raised her head, wiped her face, and then looked back.
As soon as she saw that it was Xie Shengping, she immediately shouted aggrievedly: "Uncle!"
The miserable voice, coupled with her red eyes, made Xie Shengping feel distressed.
But Xie Shengping could only harden his heart and asked in a calm tone: "Didn't negotiate?"
Xie Yunzi shook her head ventingly, and said angrily: "How can we talk about it! He bullies people!"
"How did he bully you!"
"He opened his mouth to be 8 million, what did he take me for? I did something wrong, but I also admitted that I was wrong, he still held on, with a small belly and chicken intestines! 8 million a song, why didn't he grab it! Disgusting!"
Quietly waiting for his niece to finish speaking, Xie Shengping spoke: "He said that he wanted to sell a song to you for 8 million, do you think this amount is too high, he is deliberately making things difficult for you, right?"
Xie Yunzi's chick nodded as if pecking rice.
"Then do you know that not long ago, Jin Chengming, the music director of Dahua Zitian, offered 15 million to buy him a song, but he refused?"
Xie Yunzi opened her mouth, and her expression froze in surprise for a while.
"Do you know that since Lin Ke's debut, he has only sold out 8 songs. Except for one song, which was half-sold and half-given to Su Manqian, three of the remaining seven songs were sold for more than 5 million yuan, and four songs were sold for more than 8 million yuan.
Xie Yunzi shook her head lightly in a daze.
"You see, you don't know anything, and you have a preconceived idea that he is bullying you and making things difficult for you. But I feel that his shouting price is already a friendship price. β
Xie Shengping didn't say anything serious, walked a few steps further, took out a pack of wet wipes and handed it to Xie Yunzi, "Wipe it." When you calm down, go and apologize to him. β
Xie Yunzi's voice was a little hoarse: "Do you want to apologize?"
"Even if you don't want to ask him to write songs, our company still has to cooperate with him. β
Xie Yunzi lowered her head, took out wet wipes and wiped her face carefully, and blew her nose again.
Then he said sullenly, "I don't want to go to him." β
Xie Shengping said gently: "Why?
Xie Yunzi was silent, but in Xie Shengping's eyes, she acquiesced.
Xie Shengping sat down next to his niece, took out a cigarette, and just lit it, Xie Yunzi took the cigarette away expressionlessly and broke it: "You are not allowed to smoke." β
Xie Shengping smiled bitterly, "You are a newcomer who has just debuted, and you feel that your face is important. Have you ever thought that people are the best songwriters in Dahua, there is no one. If you make trouble with him like that, he can still endure not to worry about you, and he has always been gentle to you. β
"You want to save face, but people don't want to save face? To put it another way, do you think that in front of him, you have face at all?"
"Do you know that he just reprimanded Peng Sizhang a few days ago, like a primary school student? The king of singers has no face in front of him, why do you have it?"
"Wake up, child, he is not your father, nor is he your uncle, and he is not obligated to spoil you and let you. β
Xie Shengping didn't say much, got up and left.
Xie Yunzi sat in place, staring at a stain on the stairs, her eyes glazed.
