Chapter 110: Shun Qing
"Hello Mr. Peng, please come here. ”
"Hello, hello. ”
The time is November 5th, Peng Xiangming's MV has just been filmed, and he hasn't had time to enter the editing room, the first episode of "Three Kingdoms" has just been broadcast for two days, and the discussion on the Internet is still in full swing.
The location is in a building near the South Fourth Ring Road, a record company called Huaguang Records.
The courtesy given by the other party was not low, the recording time was scheduled, and even a special person was arranged to wait at the elevator to lead the way.
Peng Xiangming and Kong Quan, who accompanied him, and assistant Xiao Fang, followed the man all the way into Huaguang Records, and soon received the attention of the company's employees, but Peng Xiangming was already used to it.
Soon, he was in the president's office and met Zhou Yuhua and Zhou Shunqing who were waiting here.
The last time we met was to Song, and the last time we met was even two months ago.
If you look at the photo on WeChat, it doesn't count.
Don't dare to make any eye contact, Zhou Yuhua is too shrewd.
"Hello Teacher Zhou, hello Shunqing!"
His posture was still very low, and he greeted him as a pure junior.
"Hey, Xiang Ming is coming, come on, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qin of Huaguang Records, and this is their distribution director, Mr. Hao. This is my agent, Lao Luan. ”
Zhou Yuhua enthusiastically introduced, and when everyone shook hands with each other, she also made up a sentence, "Old Zhou of their production department happened to go out the day before yesterday, otherwise he would have liked to see you very much." ”
"Oh, haha, maybe it'll happen in two days!"
Mixed in with the hustle and bustle, almost inaudible, it was Zhou Shunqing who seemed to say just now, "Hello." But it is likely that only Peng Xiangming heard it.
Smiled and shook hands, her eyes swept over her, she was looking at Peng Xiangming, but at this time she suddenly lowered her head.
Peng Xiangming also introduced his agent Kong Quan to the other party.
So there was another handshake and greeting.
Be polite, polite, and say a few words back and forth that are not very nutritious.
But again it seems necessary.
Huaguang Records is very old, it is said that it has a history of more than 40 years, has been standing, in the early years, once transformed into a performance company, survived under the impact of the tide of piracy, after the rise of the Internet era network sales model, once again riding the wind, it is still one of the largest record companies in China, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
Peng Xiangming's current partner is of course Daqi Records, but with the online sale of "Invisible Wings", the three songs of "The Legend of Ping Niang of the Great Song Dynasty" have already been recorded, and the TV series can be launched as soon as it starts.
And the last two singles, Peng Xiangming has also been recorded.
Therefore, it is certainly not a bad thing to know the management of a few record companies.
In fact, although the other party did not say anything, he also behaved enthusiastically.
After greeting for a while, as Zhou Yuhua took the initiative to get up, the other party offered to have dinner together in the evening, Peng Xiangming politely declined, saying that when he got together after recording, the other party would also respond happily, and this short communication would be over.
Then their Mr. Qin and Mr. Luan personally sent the group out of the office, and Zhou Yuhua led the way and went straight to the top No. 1 recording studio of Huaguang Records.
Peng Xiangming came, of course, because the songs he wrote for Zhou Shunqing must be produced by him.
This recording studio is very luxurious. The equipment is top-of-the-line.
Every record company that has reached a certain scale seems to have such a top-level recording studio, which is not simply a matter of spending money, but also invites a lot of experts, masters, equipment experts, tuners, recording engineers, and even experts in physics to come and slowly adjust according to the needs of singers.
As he gradually got money in his hands, Peng Xiangming also wanted to get himself such a recording studio.
But this is too expensive, and he hasn't made up his mind yet.
The contract has been negotiated and signed a long time ago, Kong Quan's trip here is purely to meet with the bosses here, and talk about things later, and when he arrived at the recording studio, he took a look and sat down for a while, and then got up and said goodbye.
Luan Xiaolong, the agent of Zhou Yuhua and Zhou Shunqing's mother and daughter, also walked away.
Peng Xiangming's assistant Xiao Fang naturally sat on the sofa bench outside the door and waited.
Soon there were only four people left in the recording studio, Peng Xiangming, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, and a recording engineer.
The recording begins.
Peng Xiangming could finally stare at her unscrupulously again.
But she hardly dared to look at Peng Xiangming.
She has practiced the song very well, but Peng Xiangming is really not satisfied.
can guess that her current singing style and singing method must have been created by Zhou Yuhua for her. The sound is certainly fine with use, and even the rare sound is flabby, but ...... It's so secure.
No taste.
This song is called "Listening to the Sea".
It is a song specially chosen for Peng Xiangming by combining Zhou Shunqing's vocal characteristics.
Although it is impossible to sign her into her own studio and let her work for herself, and even chatted for several months, she is still in online dating, and it is not easy to find even a date gap, but Peng Xiangming still likes her very much.
And this liking started from the first meeting.
So, I don't want to treat her badly, but I still want to give her really good things.
But such a song is obviously not very stable to sing.
So, I had to adjust it from scratch and sculpt her singing voice.
Pop has the style of Pop, and love songs have the tone of love songs.
Just ten minutes later, Zhou Yuhua's face began to show a look of surprise, and Peng Xiangming's eyes could notice that her mouth opened a few times, but in the end, she still didn't say anything.
In fact, she is the producer of this song, and even Zhou Shunqing's entire album, what style the song is made, the choice of singing tone, etc., she has the final decision.
Peng Xiangming is just an executive producer.
But this song was written by Peng Xiangming, and he seemed to be particularly confident, after listening to it once, he directly began to drastically adjust Zhou Shunqing's singing tone, and for a while, she also felt that it was not good to dismiss it.
Now Peng Xiangming still has quite authority.
At least the songs he wrote, he said how to sing them, even if he was as strong as Zhou Yuhua in his daughter's recording, he subconsciously respected his train of thought.
Pointing, practicing, recording, listening, pointing, practicing......
Zhou Yuhua had been listening, and he was pestle there.
And Peng Xiangming, who dared to invite her out of the recording studio with Teacher Huo Ming, is now a little weak-hearted, and has tried to drive her away several times, but he thinks that even if he drives her away, it is not good to drive the recording engineer away, it will be too revealing to show traces, and finally have to give up.
Don't even dare to flirt.
If it weren't for Zhou Shunqing's voice being really good, and very expansive, with a little excavation, it would show a very different style from the previous one, and it would be more dynamic, then this recording could almost be regarded as torture.
............
Editing in the morning and recording in the afternoon.
It's a very boring job, but it's also very fun.
For example, when you take advantage of the break, you go to the bathroom, then I also go there once, and when I come out, I wash my hands, no one on the left and right, I grabbed her hand and held it in the palm of my hand, but she lowered her head, frightened, scared, and did not dodge, but she neither looked at you nor said anything, oops...... It's beautiful.
Especially with her cold and glamorous on weekdays, and the image of the chatter in WeChat, intertwined, it looks extraordinarily different.
But in addition to these tasks, there are many things that only Peng Xiangming can come up with, and he must start thinking about them as soon as possible and start to deal with them.
For example, the question of spending money.
According to the agreement in the distribution contract signed with Daqi Records, May 15 and November 15 of each year are the deadlines for the account period.
Now, months after the contract was signed, the first checkout date is approaching.
"Tianzhu Girl", "Dream Chaser" and "Invisible Wings", Peng Xiangming Music Studio has a total of three song sales money, which needs to be settled with Daqi Records.
As of the 15th, just for these three songs, the studio can settle back at least more than 100 million in cash, even if it continues to settle downward, the personal sharing fees paid to Peng Xiangming, Chen Kaijie, Wu Bing and Jiang Xianxian, the balance in the studio's hands will exceed 50 million.
This is the first year that the studio has been registered and started operating, and according to tax regulations, the tax of the first year of operation can be combined with the tax of the first full financial year, that is, as long as Peng Xiangming is willing, he can even delay the tax return until March 2018.
But this regulation is only for the studio, and the payment of personal income tax must be declared in time - and his personal income this year is even higher than the studio's income!
Because he got back more than 10 million yuan in four commercial performances, Dingdong's endorsement directly recorded 22 million, plus from the studio, he should also be able to get 50 or 60 million sales shares, which together is approaching the 100 million revenue mark!
That's it, Peng Xiangming is still a little hesitant about the several commodity endorsements that are currently in frequent contact with Kong Quan, and he has not had in-depth contact with others for a long time, and he has not continued to accept endorsements!
That's it, or because the account period is different, it is said that the contract signed by Zhou Yujie's studio and Daqi Records stipulates that it will be settled on January 15 and July 15, which are more in line with the rules of tax payment, so his share of several songs in "Prison Bird" in the Three Kingdoms will definitely be settled in mid-January, which is next year.
If there are two more endorsements, the account period will be settled before the end of the year, and his income this year will exceed 100 million.
This money, if all taxes are paid, is tens of millions of personal income tax.
But the solution is not impossible.
For example, the studio can delay until January 15 and then settle the share, which will be delayed to the next billing year.
But even so, the tax rate of tens of millions of commercial performances and endorsements is also very high.
But there are solutions that can be reasonably avoided by spending the money correctly – not simply buying, of course, but donating or investing.
An investment that can provide a new job for society as a whole.
