Chapter 89: My conditions are harsh
Du Caige said: "Your acting skills really have potential, if you meet a good director to train you, the upper limit is really hard to say." β
Jiang Youxi obviously didn't believe it, and smiled disapprehantly: "In terms of acting, I did train at the beginning, but I still trained more vocal music and dance. β
Du Caige naturally knew a little about Jiang Youxi's information, this little fresh meat was 18 years old, that is, he debuted as a trainee 5 years ago, and was a member of a men's group at that time.
However, there is a particularly popular member of their boy group who has completed the accumulation of fame in just one year and started flying solo.
After that, the boy group was forced to disband, and Jiang Youxi also flew solo 3 years ago.
Jiang Youxi has never released an album, only a few singles, and the results are unsatisfactory; in addition, he has played important supporting roles in some TV series, and even played the third male lead.
His singles, Du Caige has heard them, his voice and skills are okay, but they are not particularly amazing.
At least in Du Caige's view, if Jiang Youxi takes the actor route, the heights he can reach in the future may be even higher.
However, if Jiang Youxi wants to sing, although the upper limit is there, it is not a problem to become famous and mix with a second-tier singer, after all, his hardware conditions are not bad.
Du Caige was about to persuade two more words, when the mobile phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
He took it out and looked at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Excuse me, I'll take it. β
Du Caige stepped aside and pressed answer.
"Hey, hello!" a timid female voice sounded.
Although the voice is small, the voice is very comfortable to listen to, as if every pore has become transparent.
Du Caige immediately recalled: "You are the ...... Mira's pianist?"
"Yes, yes!" the other party was a little excited, "Uncle Du, you still remember me, it's great!"
Du Caige had a black line in his head, "I said, I'm probably a round older than you, just call me brother, it's a bit too much to call uncle." β
"Right...... I'm sorry!" A frightened apology came, and an image appeared in Du Caige's mind: the girl with short hair and a height of nearly 1.8 meters bowed awkwardly and apologized.
He shook his head and threw the picture out, "What's your name?"
"Yu Yu, my name is Yu Yu, my surname is Yu Yu, and my name is a fish swimming in the water. β
To describe herself as superfluous, this girl should be a person with a story.
"Not a bad name," said Du Caige, "Okay, I remember, what did you want to call?"
"Excuse me?"
"Don't be in a hurry to apologize, just say something. β
Yu Yu's already small voice became quieter: "I, I just want to, Uncle Du...... No, Brother Du, are you Teacher Lin Ke!"
Du Caige raised his eyebrows, "Why do you guess that?"
The other person said, "I ...... I just watched the news on the Internet, and I realized that it was Mr. Duan that night, and then I thought, you can write such a good song, and you have such a good relationship with Mr. Duan, and then calculate the age, I guess you are Mr. Lin Ke. β
Du Caige was noncommittal, neither admitting nor denying: "Don't care who I am." What do you want?"
"I ......" was silent for a long time before the girl plucked up her courage, "I want to learn from you, I like music very much, I like it very much! For the sake of music, I can suffer any hardship! Please guide me, Teacher Lin Ke!"
Du Caige was not too surprised.
But it's impossible to say yes right away.
He smiled, "I don't know much about music. However, you have my number, you can contact more when you have time, and if you need help, you can bring it up. If you're looking for a teacher, I'm sorry, I'm not the right person. β
"Ming, understood, Mr. Lin Ke!" Yu Yu was still very nervous, "Yes, I'm sorry to bother you! I wrote a few songs myself, I don't know if I can have the opportunity to ask for your advice!"
Du Caige thought for a while, "Let's talk about it in a few days, and I'll contact you." β
After hanging up the phone, Du Caige stood for a while.
This Yu Yu made a deep impression on him, and the impression was not bad.
But he really doesn't understand music, and this can't be forced.
If you get back the memory of the original owner, you can recommend a teacher to her.
But now...... To have oneβs hands tied.
Back at the table, Du Caige smiled, "I'm sorry. β
"It's fine. Brother Du," Jiang Youxi complained, "I have a very hard time now, and the company doesn't have any resources for me." I really wanted to sing, but I couldn't find a good musician to write songs for me, my level was too low. β
He compared "very small" with his fingers, "I am a little shrimp in the entertainment industry." Brother Du, help me and write me two songs!"
Du Caige smiled: "You are not polite to me. β
Jiang Youxi's eyebrows immediately fluttered, and he hit the snake with the stick: "What am I polite to you, you are my brother." Brother, write me two songs! It's good that you sang 'We're different' that day. β
"That song is not for you," Du Caige leaned back in his chair and said relaxedly, "The song that suits you, I have it." β
Jiang Youxi immediately bowed again: "Brother, give it to me, give it to me!"
Du Caige smiled and looked at Cheng Mingming, "You are his agent, if I write a song for him, what conditions can I give?"
Cheng Mingming smiled: "Of course, whatever conditions you say, you can do whatever the conditions." Being able to cooperate with you is something we can't ask for, where do we dare to put forward conditions. β
Du Caige shook his head and said with a smile: "My conditions are very harsh, I'm afraid that your company will not agree." β
"I will agree, no matter what the conditions, I guarantee that the company will pass. Cheng Mingming was categorical, and his voice was full of confidence.
Du Caige pursed his lips and was noncommittal, "How much money can your company give him?
Cheng Mingming obviously had a draft, and said without thinking: "The remuneration for you, I think what you ask for should be based on sales shares, and you will not agree to buy out." So in terms of production costs, with a little control, I believe it can be handled. As for publicity, I also have ideas, after all, this is your comeback after four years, which is a big gimmick that can save us a lot of publicity and distribution expenses. β
Du Caige shook his head with a smile: "Maybe I'm a little famous in the circle, but for consumers, I'm a ball?"
A look of embarrassment flashed on Cheng Mingming's face, she still maintained a sonorous tone, trying her best to show confidence: "Leave this work to me, I will arrange it." β
In fact, she also has apprehensions in her heart. The name "Lin Ke", although very influential, is now more of a "notoriety".
If Du Caige is really asked to write songs for Jiang Youxi in the name of "Lin Ke", it will not necessarily be a good thing for Xiao Jiang.
Du Caige didn't ask.
He leaned forward slightly and tapped his fingers on the table: "I can give Xiao Jiang 5 songs and make up half an album." I exclusively authorized Xiao Jiang to sing, and promised not to authorize others to sing for 10 years. I want 1 and a half percent of the physical album sales of the song, and I want 2 percent of the digital version sales. CRBT sales, as well as KTV authorization, etc., I want 3 percent. Even if you can't earn a penny, I want 30%. As for you singing these 5 songs, first of all, according to the highest standards of the Dahua Music Copyright Association, you have to pay me 1,000 yuan for every 1 minute of performance. Then every time I perform a commercial performance, after your company takes a cut, I want to take 2% of your remaining profits. β
