Chapter 61 Li Aigang came to the door to ask for a song

12 p.m., under the tree restaurant.

Liu Zixia came here early, there was no way, as soon as Lang Wenxing heard that Li Ai was just going to invite Liu Zixia to dinner, he directly called Zhang Minghao and asked him to prepare a table of good dishes, and then urged Liu Zixia to hurry to the restaurant.

Liu Zixia didn't know why this guy was so active, so he called Bai Lian and set a time.

At twelve o'clock, Bai Liansheng appeared in the box on the second floor of the restaurant under the tree with Li Aigang, who was fully armed.

"Senior Brother Zixia, I've been waiting for a long time. After shaking hands with Liu Zixia, Li Aigang looked at Lang Wenxing who was standing next to Liu Zixia, and said in surprise: "Mr. Lang, why are you here?"

"Ai Gang, long time no see!" Lang Wenxing and Li Aigang are also old friends, "I'm Zi Xia's agent, where am I not here?"

"That's right, I have long heard that Zixia has become a signed artist of Wenxing Entertainment, but I didn't expect his agent to be Mr. Lang. Li Ai just came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang really has a good eye!"

"He has a good eye, if it weren't for my help, Zixia might have gone to a better entertainment company!"

At this time, Zhang Minghao, who was wearing a chef's hat, walked in with a plate of dishes, "Aigang, you haven't been here for a few days!"

"I've been busy lately, Brother Hao, don't blame me. Li Aigang and Zhang Minghao are also friends.

"It's okay, work is important, and you're always welcome from my side. Zhang Minghao put the dish in his hand on the table, "Try it all, this is a new dish I recently learned from a Sichuan chef." ”

Looking at the Sichuan-style boiled fish that looked good, Liu Zixia said jokingly: "Brother Hao, why haven't I seen you cook in person a few times ago? Are you sure it's not dark cuisine?"

"How do you kid talk?" Zhang Minghao said angrily, "Brother, I finally have a second-level chef certificate, and this dish can still be eaten." ”

"Come on, come on, it's not an outsider, sit down. Lang Wenxing beckoned everyone to sit down, "Hey, this young man is Liansheng, right? I know your father, I thought you would take the road of opera, but I didn't expect to become an artist under Aigang, I guess your father is so angry that he has the heart to kill you, right?"

"Mr. Lang knows my father?" Bai Liansheng scratched his head and smiled: "Almost, I don't dare to go home for this time." ”

"Your father's temper is a little hot. Lang Wenxing nodded, "By the way, Lao Zhang, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and take out all the good wine you treasured." ”

Zhang Minghao took off the chef's hat on his head and put it aside: "Your old man is really a wolf, when you come, I have to cut a few taels of meat for me." ”

Liu Zixia ignored this pair of good friends, and said to Li Aigang: "Senior Aigang, during this time, Sister Lian has been taken care of by you, thank you." ”

"Senior Brother Zixia is polite. Li Aigang waved his hand, "Speaking of which, Liansheng and I are still brothers, so we can't talk about taking care of it or not." ”

"Huh?" Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment and said, "What senior brother?"

"A few years ago, I made a film about opera, and the person who guided me at that time was Liansheng's uncle, Mr. Yanhua. Li Aigang recalled, "Later, after the filming of that scene, Mr. Yanhua accepted me into the door, if you really count it, Liansheng is still my senior brother!"

"You still have such a relationship?" Liu Zixia suddenly realized, "Then we have to have a few drinks today." ”

"Hehe, okay!" Li Aigang laughed, "By the way, I'm looking for Senior Brother Zixia today......"

"Brother Gang, you just call me Zixia. Liu Zixia interrupted Li Aigang, "It's always called by seniors and juniors, it's too angry!"

"Okay, then I'm not pretentious. Li Aigang nodded and continued: "That's the case, you know, a few years ago, I always wanted to enter the music industry, but I tried twice, but I failed. ”

also blamed Li Ai for his bad life, those two attempts almost made him lose his confidence in music.

Speaking of this, Li Aigang's face showed anticipation: "I heard Liansheng say that the song "New Concubine Drunk" was tailor-made for him by you, so I want to ask you to write a song for me and make the title song for my new album." ”

As soon as Li Aigang's voice fell, Zhang Minghao suddenly said: "Aigang, are you going to release a new album again?"

Zhang Minghao has been active in the music circle before retiring, and he can be said to have a deep memory of Li Aigang's two failures back then.

Lang Wenxing came to his senses, he stood up directly and sat down next to Li Aigang: "Aigang, you should talk to me about this, have you forgotten that I am Zixia's agent?

Friendship is friendship, but when it comes to interests, Longman Star instantly turned into a shrewd agent, and when he spoke, he highlighted the key points, and deliberately added an accent to the word 'ask'.

Liu Zixia glanced at Long Wenxing with a smile and said, "Brother Gang, you can talk about it." ”

"This ...... Actually, I don't know much about the market in the industry. ”

Li Aigang scratched his head a little embarrassed, then took out a contract from his bag and said, "These things have always been done by my agent, I didn't bring him here today, this is the contract he prepared for me in advance." ”

Lang Wenxing's eyes were quick, and he snatched the contract from Li Aigang's hand.

In the end, he is one of the best brokers in the industry, even if he has retired for more than ten years, but the business is still quite proficient.

After a few simple glances, Lang Wenxing put down the contract in his hand.

Liu Zixia took the contract and looked down.

Lang Wenxing looked at Li Aigang with a smile on his face and said, "Aigang, you shouldn't have read the contract proposed by your agent, right?"

Li Aigang nodded and said, "My agent has been with me for a few years, and I trust him very much. ”

"Trust?" Longwen Xing raised his eyebrows, "This guy, is he bullying our Zixia?"

Li Aigang was stunned for a moment and said, "How come?"

Lang Wenxing didn't speak, but just dragged the contract from Liu Zixia's hand and threw it back to Li Aigang.

Li Aigang subconsciously looked down.

After a while, his face turned a little red, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Zixia, I didn't know that he just gave you a price of 100,000 yuan, and five percent of the copyright share!"

"100,000 ?5 percent?"

Zhang Minghao's eyes widened, "Ai Gang, who is your agent? Go back and quit him, 100,000 yuan is really the price of cabbage! Let me tell you, when Zixia was singing "I just met you" here, there was a buddy who waited for them for two hours, and bid 300,000 yuan to buy the copyright of this song, but Zixia didn't sell it. ”

Facts have proved that Liu Zixia's choice was not wrong, not to mention anything else, the song "Just Met You" earned no less than 5 million on Penguin Music.

100,000 yuan? It's really enough to look down on Liu Zixia!

Hearing Zhang Minghao's words, Li Aigang was even more embarrassed: "That...... The little brother who made the bid in the restaurant that day was also the one I asked him to bid for me. ”

Yes?

This time, the expressions on everyone's faces became weird, they really regressed more and more, from 300,000 to 100,000, what kind of agent is that, is it stupid? Isn't it stupid?

"Ai Gang, listen to my brother's advice, go back and resign your agent. ”

Lang Wenxing said earnestly: "I won't talk about others, you should know Han Junqing, right? A few years ago, he created a song for Zhang Tianwang on Hong Kong Island, and the Guang Run pen fee was 1 million, not counting the copyright share written in the contract. 100,000? Hey, quit him!"

Looking at Lang Wenxing's expression that I am good for you, Li Aigang is also very helpless, he is an agent who is good at everything, but he is too picky, and he can't wait to use one dollar as five yuan.

casually tore the contract in half and threw it into the trash, Li Aigang said very simply: "Mr. Lang, as long as Zixia can tailor a title song for me, you can open whatever conditions you want." ”

Lang Wenxing glanced at Liu Zixia, and Liu Zixia nodded slightly.

So, he continued: "Ai Gang, we are not outsiders, we want more, and our friendship is unreasonable!

"You say. Li Aigang has already accepted his fate.

Lang Wenxing thought for a moment and said: "How about a song creation fee of 1 million and a 25% copyright share?"

Burst!

As soon as Lang Wenxing's words fell, Zhang Minghao squirted out a mouthful of old wine!

Bai Liansheng sat next to Zhang Minghao, and was sprayed all over his face by Comrade Zhang with a sip of wine.

Blinking, Bai Liansheng held back a sentence: "Is there a tissue?"

Liu Zixia couldn't help laughing, took out a tissue from the side, and handed it to Bai Liansheng.

"I'll go, old man, you can't talk too much, right?" Zhang Minghao said: "Twenty-five percent of the copyright share, why don't you grab it?"

In this world, the copyright income itself is very high, for example, Li Aigang is a personal studio, and the income from the sale of songs needs to be paid to the copyright society 3 percent, 10 to 20 percent from each channel, and 5 to 15 percent from songwriters, and the rest is all Li Aigang's.

If it is an entertainment company, you should add 30 to 40 percent of the entertainment company's share.

That's a lot of money!

You Lang Wenxing is good, and it is 25% to open your mouth directly, which is 10% higher than the highest 15% of the previous contract!

This isn't a money grab, what is it?

Li Aigang naturally knew this, he thought about it very seriously, shook his head and said: "Mr. Lang, to be honest, the songwriting fee is very fair, but the proportion is a bit high. ”

"You can't say that. Lang Wenxing took a sip of water and moistened his throat, "This album you created, but in order to successfully step into the music industry, have you forgotten the first two failures?

............
