"No, I feel like it would take a whole band to do the recording. After the arrangement, the whole song is magnificent, magnificent, and even symphonic. The lyrics you've written are really magnificent, are you sure they were written in just a few minutes? Didn't you collude with 'The Ellen Show' beforehand?

Anyway, I mean, the lyrics are far-reaching, it needs a larger melodic structure to support, you just played on the guitar on the show before, it was too cold, too thin, far from reflecting the essence of the song, I really don't know what those netizens are happy about, and when they see the full version we made, they will be dumbfounded. Wait, where are we?"

Looking at Herbert in front of him, Lan Li chuckled.

The last song that was not recorded was "Your Bones", the one that was originally written on "The Ellen Show". The chords of this song seem simple, but after the arrangement, the atmosphere is majestic, like a waterfall rushing, but it still maintains the original clarity and thoroughness of the melody, fully showing the unique characteristics of the ballad.

They are now discussing how the song should be recorded. George and the others "disappeared", and the two of them didn't pay attention to it at all, and they didn't even go out to ask a word, and continued to be busy without heart or lungs.

There was a sound in the direction of the door of the studio, and then I saw the door open, and Nathan and George walked in one after the other, their expressions were extremely excited, and the excitement between their eyebrows could not be concealed, and it was Roy who fell behind.

"Are you done recording?" said George, with every movement in his body expressing the joy in his heart, but before Lan Li and Herbert could answer, he couldn't wait to continue to ask, "How do you guess our work just now?"

Today, Abraham came to investigate, and both Lam and Herbert knew about it.

Herbert was eager to ask about the progress, but he still held back his curiosity and turned his head to look at Lan Li, but he didn't expect that Lan Li had a calm and calm expression, and he didn't have any eagerness at all, he just pursed his lips and gently closed his chin, as if to say "I see", but that's all.

George immediately stopped doing it and said angrily, "This is your album, and you don't care at all?"

His eyes widened, staring at Lan Li so hard that his eyes were about to fall off, and then he thought of Lan Li's personality and couldn't help but be defeated. Today is a good day, the album recording is nearing the end, and the record contract is basically negotiated, so there is no need to get along with yourself.

So, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Anyway, the final signing still has to be signed by you, so I'll tell you in advance now." Fifteen percent of the royalty dividends, and then for every 500,000 sales increase, the royalties will rise by 0.5 percent; the album production cost is 130,000 yuan, and the additional conditions are '1+3', instead of the '1+6' like the vampires of the big companies now!"

The so-called "1+3" and "1+6" refer to the same meaning, an album, plus three or six selective albums.

To put it simply, after signing the contract, the singer can release his first album. After that, the record company also has the distribution rights of the singer's next few albums, and now the big record companies generally sign the "1+6", that is, the distribution rights of six albums.

The artist cannot leave the contract until the six albums are completed, only the record company can decide whether to continue to fulfill the contract, transfer the contract to another company, or cancel the contract, and even if the artist subsequently produces the six albums as required, only the record company can decide whether to release the albums or put them in the warehouse to collect dust.

Of course, the terms of "1+6" dictate the number of albums, not the time. If a singer refuses to fulfill his contract, like Justin Timberlake, who rolls in Hollywood after recording an album, the contract will continue indefinitely until the label voluntarily gives up. But until then, singers can't jump ship to other record labels.

This kind of contract protects the interests of record companies, especially for new singers. Ed Sheeran signed "1+6" with Atlantic Records.

Now, George is talking about "1+3", which means that there are many fewer rules and regulations bound to Lan Li.

Of course, for Lanli, it doesn't make much difference whether this clause is "3" or "6". For now, he doesn't see the possibility of a second album coming out. However, no matter what, the clause itself can still show the sincerity of the other party.

"The most important thing is that the maximum number of tracks on this album is sixteen!" said George, eyebrows, almost screaming, and then he heard Herbert's irrepressible roar - Herbert clenched his fists and jumped high, expressing his excitement and excitement with his whole body.

But George found that Lan Li was still sitting on the sofa indifferently, George only felt a tightness in his chest, "Sixteen songs! Lan Li, full of sixteen songs! This is really an extremely bold decision......" He tried to continue, but then realized that he was playing the piano to the cow, so he gave up, "Forget it, I'm in a very good mood today, I will never be angry!" George's smile bloomed again, "Jesus Christ, I always thought I was a madman, and now it seems that there are people who are even crazier than me!"

The courage of Studio Eleven is far stronger than George imagined.

"It's all thanks to Roy!" George only remembered at this time, pulled Roy over, and thanked the biggest hero today, in the entire negotiation process just now, almost Roy took the initiative and negotiated most of the agreements, "If it weren't for Roy, none of this would have happened, God, this is amazing! Who would have thought that Teddy would have made a decision directly! I really feel that Teddy is the cutest person in the world!"

Herbert was still raising his arms and cheering, while George was still shouting, and Nathan was a little dazed as he watched the demons dance in front of him. Looking at the scene in front of him, Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, and the joy from the heart made his mood soar.

Turning his head, Lan Li looked at Roy, who had just sat down next to him, and cast a puzzled look, "Teddy?"

"In the end, it was Studio Eleven who came to an agreement. Roy's answer made Lan Li stunned, obviously not expecting such a trend, but thinking about it carefully, it was logical.

The ups and downs of missing out on Atlantic Records and ushering in Studio Eleven are truly gripping, and it's no wonder George is so out of shape.

Even Lan Li couldn't help but sigh: knowing that this was a loss-making business, he still didn't hesitate.

Perhaps, in this cold and irritable world, there is still a dreamer with a child's heart, not only him, not only George, but many, many more, perhaps, there is more than one Don Quixote. Now, Lan Li is also a little curious about how many people are willing to calm down and listen to this album after the release of this album?

Picking up his scattered thoughts, his gaze fell on Roy, and Lan Li asked with a smile, "So can I take it as a matter of course, your answer is yes?"

Roy didn't answer immediately, but looked carefully at Lan Li's dark brown eyes.

There was no slightest impatience and panic, just calmly and calmly met his gaze, a faint light circulated in the pupils, deep and vast, as if there was no bottom at a glance, the shallow smile floated between the eyebrows, with a wisdom that did not match his age, and an uninhibited appearance that did not match his appearance, hidden under the calm wanton and publicity, tenacity and stubbornness, looming.

is such a twenty-one-year-old boy who, in just one year, has stirred up the entire Hollywood. Roy suddenly looked forward to it, what would it be like when he was fully grown?

Two weeks ago, he received a call from Lan Li asking about his next work plan, and then directly made an interesting proposal, "Are you interested in coming over and being my manager?"

As a senior public agent, he certainly understands the importance of a manager, a good manager, shouldering the task of balancing the weight of life and career, and also shouldering the task of balancing the agent and the publicist, and at the same time shouldering the task of balancing the income and expenses of the artist, some like a housekeeper, but more difficult than a housekeeper.

Generally speaking, artists will choose people close to them and trusted people to take this position. In recent years, the job of professional managers has begun to appear, and a small number of artists are willing to try, but it is still not considered the mainstream.

So, what is the reason for Lan Li?

"Why?" Roy asked, looking at Lan Li in front of him.

Lan Li chuckled, "Because I think you're suitable." ”

Andy has mentioned the topic of managers several times before and after, and in the promotion of "Fast and Exciting / Emotion 5", Lan Li has also become more and more aware of the importance of managers. For him, the most important role of a manager is to balance the trivial tasks of life with the focus of work, and he needs someone who can manage all the trivial matters so that he can fully devote himself to his work.

Among the candidates for manager, Lan Li had considered Matthew, but then gave up. Matthew also has his own business and his own life, not to mention, Matthew is not necessarily a good fit for Hollywood, and naturally, all his friends around him are also excluded - it is not a good idea to hire another descendant of the aristocracy to be a manager.

As a result, Roy appeared as the number one candidate for Lanli.

After a limited few times of getting along, Roy left a deep impression on Lan Li, with outstanding ability, distinctive style, and most importantly, he was bright and upright, and his mind was clear, and the two had something in common with the definition and pursuit of life. It's a good start.

Such a simple and unreasonable answer made Roy shake his head helplessly, and then nodded again, "Yes." I hope that in the future, the cooperation will be happy. ”

Lan Li held Roy's outstretched right hand, and the corners of his mouth were outlined, "Happy cooperation!"
