At present, there is only one singer in China who can guarantee that every new album will sell 10 million copies, and there is only one Liao Liao.

The Five Elements have been reached, but they can't guarantee that the next album will pass, don't say that the current Five Elements Wusu has changed blood, even before the blood exchange, they can't guarantee it, He Runqing's "Dream Chaser" can basically be determined to reach 10 million copies, but whether the new album can be passed, it is still unknown, Zhao Xinfu's last album looks at the situation is about 8 million copies, and it is not hopeless to pass 10 million copies, but it will take a long time to grind slowly......

As for Zhou Yan, don't look at her selling almost 2 million copies of the country in three weeks, but 10 million copies is still a ceiling for her, whether this "Tears of the Witch" can be crossed in one step, although it is still between the two, but at least, most people in the industry believe that it is difficult for her to cross - similar to Zhao Xinfu, eight million, at most nine million, about the top.

However, it is still the same sentence, you have to dig up the loss!

Although Huage is one of the three major record companies in the industry, it has never cultivated a superstar in its own right, and finally through Li Qian's hands, there is a five-element Wusu, but with Sima Duoduo going to Sony, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan also went to Minghu Culture to form a new rose power, Huang Dazhong understands even if he is stupid, the new Wuxing Wusu can only rely on the works of the old Wuxing Wusu in the past to earn some money for commercial performances, and it is difficult for the new album to become popular.

In the past, when the competition in the industry was not so fierce, relying on the outstanding channel resources and distribution capabilities accumulated over the years, as well as the support of a large number of high-level musicians, even if there were superstars who did not support the scene. Hua Ge can still live freely. But with the great boom of the market. In recent years, the competition in the industry has intensified, and by the recent great changes in Sony and the poaching of people, this competition has reached an almost white heat.

Whether it is the internal management personnel, musicians, or general manager Huang Dazhong, they have lived in this circle for many years, and no matter how bad their sensitivity is, they can detect this change. What's more, Huage has been able to become one of the three major record companies for many years without a big-name singer, and there is naturally no shortage of smart people inside.

Therefore, even if they knew that they were losing money, even if they knew that they did not have a good relationship with Li Qian, it was estimated that Zhou Yan's favorability towards Hua Ge should not be high, but they still made a move.

Perhaps, in their opinion, even if they can't dig it up in the end. But it can add a bit of chaos to Sony and Cinda, and increase the cost of keeping and poaching people. It's also a victory of sorts.

But in any case, Hua Ge's move, Zhou Yan's market suddenly rose to another height!

This pool of water has been completely muddled.

After hesitating for two days, Xinda finally chose to back down - the offer of 60 million for 30 songs should really have reached the limit of what they could accept, no matter how high it was, they really didn't dare to follow.

But this is not too surprising, anyway, after all these years, they have never been a bold company, and they have never been very generous!

Of course, although the price is reluctant to increase further, the lobbying of Zou Wenhuai by the other side is almost non-stop: they cannot give more money, but they can promise to give more concessions in other aspects.

For example, they can accept a brokerage deal with only 20 percent of the commission – for record companies, that's basically a price tag to give them a little bit and let them cover their faces.

However, soon, Watanabe Kazuichi personally called Zou Wenhuai, twenty songs of 55 million, Sony followed!

Kazuichi Watanabe emphasized again: "Since we have the right of first refusal, it will definitely not be wasted!"

This directly announced that Cinda was out, because they couldn't have paid a higher price!

And subsequently, although Kazuichi Watanabe did not call Li Qian or Qi Jie in person, he still passed on his meaning to Qi Jie through an intermediary: Those who joined after Sony's departure, regardless of whether there is a non-compete agreement, Sony is not ready to pursue anything from Minghu Culture and themselves, but I just hope that Minghu Culture will not come out to stir up trouble in Zhou Yan's matter.

After all, everyone knows that with the relationship between Li Qian and Zhou Yan, Li Qian can completely offer a sky-high price that no one dares to follow to scare everyone away, because how the two parties will sign the contract in the end and how they will pay after signing the contract are all private matters between the two people, as long as Zhou Yan doesn't say it, no one cares!

Although this will look very shameless, Watanabe Kazuichi is really afraid that Li Qian will tear his face and be shameless, after all, even if Sony's stars are gathered now, Zhou Yan and Zhao Xinfu are the biggest names in their hands!

On the same day, Hua Ge replied to Zou Wenhuai: They can't afford to increase the price anymore!

This is tantamount to announcing that in this "battle for Zhou Yan", they have taken the initiative to go out!

And Cinda has been out of the game before because of the price, and everything seems to indicate that the renewal of the contract between Sony and Zhou Yan is close to being completed.

In an interview with reporters on Thursday afternoon, a deputy general manager of Sony Records said with a smile that Zhou's contract renewal negotiations are underway and it is expected that he will officially sign a contract in the near future.

However, before his words fell, the news that Zhou Yan went to the photography department of Suncheon Film Academy to listen to it suddenly came out in the circle, and then, this gossip news soon appeared in the evening newspaper of the day and many entertainment programs that night.

The photos taken by the reporters are very clear, the queen Zhou Yan is dressed plainly, a beige sports sweatshirt, plus a pair of casual pencil pants, her hair seems to be pulled up, and she deliberately wears a peaked cap, if you don't look carefully, she is simply an ordinary college student, and even, she also wears a pair of glasses, which looks more like an ordinary student.

Of course, although she is plain and faceless, she should have no makeup at all, but she rarely wears makeup when she usually attends events, so that bright-eyed and kind appearance can't hide it from people at all, and anyone can recognize her as Zhou Yan at a glance.

In the photo, she is holding hands with Li Qian, who is almost dressed up. I am walking out of the school gate of Suncheon Film Academy.

Li Qian smiled. Overall, though. is still as calm and indifferent as ever, and Zhou Yan is simply full of smiles, and she is in a good mood at first glance. And if you look at the multiple photos together, according to the reporter who took the photos, this 31-year-old Chinese singer diva is jumping up and down when she walks, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

"Even," the reporter said, "she would shake her hands as she walked, talking and laughing." seems very happy and relaxed, while Li Qian is just the opposite, like a big brother who is spoiling her, loving her, and taking her to the amusement park. ”

As soon as this news came out, early the next morning, the front and back doors of the Suncheon Film Academy were suddenly blocked by reporters who swarmed in early in the morning.

Diva Zhou Yan went to school at the film school?

Do you really go to study, or do you want to accompany your husband?

So, at such a sensitive moment, several major record companies are working hard and are striving for the moment of Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan and Li Qian openly held hands and went to class together to show their affection, are they expressing any attitude?

Everyone was very curious.

Half past nine in the morning. Sure enough, the reporters blocked Li Qian and Zhou Yan, who were holding hands, at the front door of the Shuntian Film Academy.

Before the two of them could even run - looking so calm that they probably didn't want to slip away at all - they were blocked by the reporters' microphones and cameras.

"Uh...... No, I'm just here to go to school, audit, I've always been interested in photography, and I'll follow him to listen to the class when I have the opportunity......" While speaking, Zhou Yan also confidently patted her shoulder bag, took out a professional-grade camera from it, glanced at the group of reporters, pointed at someone, and said with a smile: "This is probably the same as his model?"

Li Qian took a closer look at her and nodded with her.

There was a click, and the reporters captured the picture of Zhou Yan holding the camera in her hand and smiling happily.

And at this time, Zhou Yan naughtily opened the camera cover in her hand, and actually aimed at the reporter, clicking and clicking - everyone knew that this was a real thing at a glance, and looking at Zhou Yan's posture of taking pictures, it didn't seem to be a new hand, at least it seemed that she and Li Qian came to listen to the class, and she really intended to learn photography, not a bluff.

So, the reporters quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, your two albums at Sony have been released, will you renew your contract with Sony in the next step?" Or will you go to the master's company?"

Zhou Yan shrugged her shoulders very easily when she heard this, that brisk appearance, from the inside out, obviously not pretended, it was really relaxed physically and mentally, she said: "I'm too expensive now, you know, Sony offered me 2.75 million for a song!" While speaking, she looked at Li Qian and said with a smile: "He told me that he was reluctant to give me so much money!"

To be honest, the reporters are somewhat blindsided.

Many of these reporters who came today are veteran reporters who have been in this line for many years, and there are especially many who are specifically responsible for the line of Zhou Yan, who can be called professional "Zhou Yan researchers" and professional-level "Zhou Yan trackers". However, after so many years, who has ever seen Zhou Yan talk or laugh like this?

Occasionally, when I meet her one day, I am in a good mood and can give her a smile, which is already a big surprise!

But what about today?

Today, instead of hiding from reporters, she was smiling from beginning to end, and even took the initiative to tell jokes on an extremely rare occasion - the more experienced people are, the more frightened they are!

But okay, this must be Zhou Yan, there will be no fake!

And crucially, the big news is already in hand!

I don't know how many people have already thought of the title at that moment, just "Zhou Yan laughed and said that Li Qian picked the door and decided to renew his contract with Sony" - not only in line with the current hot spots, but also big gossip, which will definitely attract attention!

Click, many people take pictures.

Someone else asked: "So, are you sure that you will renew your contract with Sony?"

Zhou Yan shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "No, I have found a new job, and in the next year or two, I may not release an album, right?" I don't know, anyway, I have no plans to sign a contract with any company recently." ”

After brushing it, many people were stunned.

Everyone thought almost at the same time: Won't it? Zhou Yan is going to quit the music scene again?

There is a precedent for her willfulness!

But soon, without waiting for the reporters to ask anything more, Li Qian had already taken the initiative to explain: "Minghu Culture's manpower has been a little nervous recently, and it just so happened that my sister-in-law said that she was a little tired, so I asked her to come over to help me and help produce an album or something." ”

The crowd was quiet for a moment, then suddenly there was a "buzz".

"Holy!"

"Dizzy!"

"Isn't it?"

"It's still going to be a job change!"

"This is Darkness Chen Cang!"

With a swipe, countless microphones and recording equipment flocked to it!

…………

On the same day, the news spread throughout the entertainment industry.

Sony Records, General Manager's Office.

"We have the right of first refusal to renew the contract, and we can go to court to sue them, they are infringing!"

Watanabe Kazuchi nodded when he heard this, and then calmly looked at the legal counsel on the other side, the lawyer spread his hands, and said, "It's useless." The contract that our company signed with Zhou Yan was three years, or two albums, it was an "or", but not a "and", that is, in fact, after the end of the promotion cycle for the second album, she was already free. No matter how much we delay this date, it can only be delayed for three months, and there is no talk of a four-month publicity cycle. ”

After a pause, he added: "Moreover, the so-called right of first refusal must follow this contract." This is a singer contract, so as long as she goes to Minghu Culture and is not a singer and does not release an album, it is not a breach of contract. According to the contract, if she does not renew her contract after the end of her second album, then as long as it drags on for one year, after one year, this priority will expire. According to the current situation, by May next year, she will be completely free. ”

No one responded.

There were seven or eight Sony Records executives sitting in the office, but they were all surprisingly silent.

After a while, Watanabe asked calmly: "Doesn't that mean that as long as she doesn't sign a contract for the time being, then even if she starts preparing a new album, starting to practice songs, and recording on the side of Minghu Culture, it will be no problem at all?" As soon as the priority renewal right expires, she will sign a contract with Minghu Culture the next day, and the album will be released on the third day, no problem?"

The lawyer shook his head and said, "Not really, as long as we can find definitive evidence that her new album was produced during our priority renewal period...... In fact, if they dare to press the steps so tightly, there is almost no need for us to collect any evidence, just find a few professional musicians in the industry to prove that it is impossible to make an album within three or five days, then their lawsuit will be lost. ”

"Besides, there are so many issues involved in an album, just post-processing, cover shooting, printing, tape and CD production, it is not something they can do alone, if necessary, the court can ask the relevant companies to issue relevant schedules for cooperation with them at any time, and at that time, as long as we sue, they will lose. ”

Watanabe Kazukazu nodded at first, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If you find a legal counsel on your side and ask about it, how can you not know about it on the Minghu side?

Now that they know, at most it will be a matter of delaying for half a year more, how can they leave such a handle?

So...... Never mind!

Isn't it just a sister-in-law!

We'll see who wins and loses next!

***

It is said that tomorrow the entire eastern half of our county will have a power outage, spring maintenance line, so, I will try my best to save the manuscript in advance, but not completely guarantee that I can really write enough chapter!

Then, at the end of the month, it's better to ask for a monthly pass, and if you still have a monthly pass in your hand, please vote.

In the end, I cried poorly: Borui was listed, Haval lowered the price, and the CS75 was also reduced, but I couldn't afford one...... (To be continued.) )
