Chapter 44: Li Qian is angry!
Maybe in the eyes of other record companies, He Runqing is willing to join, so what else is there to say? Isn't that a good thing to hit it off? If they heard about the treatment He Runqing received in Li Qian's studio, they would probably hate it so much that their teeth itched, but on the contrary, after seeing Li Qian's song "Lady", the original resentment in He Runqing's heart that was rejected once also dissipated in an instant.
Facts have once again proved that her choice and her decision are extremely correct!
As far as she knows, in the current domestic music scene, there is only such a person who can freely roam in various different music styles such as folk songs, folk songs, rock, love songs, Chinese style, rap, etc.!
Only such a person can help her complete a magnificent turnaround - although until now, even she herself does not know how to transform and what direction to turn.
But it's enough to trust him, isn't it?
At this moment, when she suddenly heard Li Qian say "sign you", she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment, and then, when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth.
After a moment, she strode over, stretched out her hand, and said with great sincerity, "Thank you, Qianshao." β
Li Qian also stood up, shook her hand with a smile, but said: "What's so thankful for this, it's your attitude that moved me, besides, the main reason for signing you is that you are indeed very diligent and can make money for me!"
As he spoke, he spread his hands, "Look at it, such a large piece of land, from the purchase." By the time it came to the renovation, it was already 10 million or 20 million smashed in, and I still owed a loan from the bank. And then tens of millions of dollars will be burned here one after another to finally take shape, which requires money, Liao Liao is so lazy, I can't count on it, so I have to rely on you!"
Although he knew that Li Qian was joking, He Runqing still nodded very seriously, "Don't worry." As long as you want, we can sign the contract immediately, and after signing the contract, I will go out to run a commercial show for you. I'll help you repay the loan first!"
Li Qian laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "I want to earn money, but I'm not in such a hurry!"
After a pause, he stretched out his hand. Motioned for the two of them to go to the rest area and sit for a while. Then the two of them sat down opposite each other on the sofa in the rest area, and Li Qiancai said: "Even if you go out to run a commercial show now, how much money can you earn? It's to adjust yourself, and I'll make a list for you when you get back. You listen to more works other than your own style, especially our domestic folk songs, and some foreign jazz, country, well, especially soul music! Find a feeling, and I will first make a new album for them, and then you and Liao Liao, okay?"
As he spoke, he smiled again and said jokingly: "As for making money, when your new album becomes popular and the price goes up, don't worry, I will definitely drive you and Liao Liao out to give me hard work! When the time comes, you can't go if you want to, I'm not just a musician now, I'm still a capitalist! Capital has always been evil!"
He Runqing smiled in agreement, but still said with concern: "Listen to folk songs, what do you mean...... Let me switch to singing folk songs?"
There was a deep incomprehension in her tone.
Li Qian smiled, stretched out his hand, and made a calming downward pressure action, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, your whole person and state are tense now, do you know? I know that transformation for you, not only requires a lot of determination and courage, but also a lot of courage, because what you need to do is almost to deny the past self, and it is also the extremely successful self, and to be honest, even if I come to help you do it, there is no absolute certainty, and the risk of transformation failure is still very great!" So, I can understand your feelings, but, it's not necessary, it's really not necessary!"
After a pause, he cocked Erlang's legs, looked very relaxed, and continued with a smile: "What you need to do now, first, is to relax yourself and loosen the string that you have been tense for ten years! The string is too tight, and it is easy to break!"
"So, we can sign a contract right away, but I don't want you to take on commercial performances, I don't want you to help me make money, I don't want you to practice any songs, I just need you to go out for a trip and take a turn, including you can go back to your hometown and live for a while, your hometown is in the mountains of Hunan, right? Go back and live for a while and relax!"
"Then, the second point, like what I just told you, our domestic folk songs, foreign soul music, listen to more, figure out more about their singing, the purpose is to pull you out of the sweet songs of the past! Oh, by the way, rock and roll should also be listened to! You can't lock yourself in a cage, you can lock yourself in a cage, then I have to drag you out and help you transform, it's too difficult and tiring! You have to come out first!"
He Runqing nodded as if he didn't understand, but he still couldn't help asking: "Then what path am I going to take next, can you have some ideas in your heart?"
Li Qian laughed, tapped his head with a finger, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all here, but now, I won't tell you!"
He Runqing was stunned when he heard this.
Whether it was a few contacts through the phone in the past or the last two meetings, Li Qian gave her the feeling of maturity and calmness, so that people could directly ignore his age, but at this moment, he actually showed a naughty childishness, which immediately made He Runqing a little speechless.
Now she is of course extremely confused and even very distressed about her future and the path she wants to take in the future, so even she herself has noticed that many of the things she has done recently seem particularly impatient and impatient, but at this time, Li Qian played such a naughty trick with her, and she was helpless.
Well, at least he seemed relaxed, and perhaps he was already confident about his future direction?βshe could only comfort herself.
And this time. Seeing her speechless, Li Qian smiled again and regained his usual composure. soothed: "Really, Sister Runqing, believe me, put aside some of the problems that have troubled you for a long time, just leave it to me, and you will be responsible for relaxing yourself." To leave the past, to return to the real life, everything that follows. I'll take care of it, okay?"
Finally, He Runqing nodded slowly.
"I believe in you!" she said.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Qian's studio is only in the initial stage, to be honest, except for one Li Qian in the studio. Nothing else.
Even the artist's contract. Li Jinlong referred to several samples of contracts at various levels that Liao Liao took out from Changsheng Records, and contacted and consulted many law firms, accounting firms, and friends in the music industry, which was finally formulated.
The contract is divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D, and what is reserved for Liao Liao is, of course, the highest level of D-level contract, and the management and requirements of the contract for artists are compared with the three grades of ABC. It's a lot broader, and it's in the artist's entire income. The studio's commission has also been reduced to a minimum.
Then, if He Runqing wants to sign, it is naturally also a D file. Li Qian couldn't really sign a newcomer contract just because she said that she asked to sign a newcomer contract. That's not just a matter of being jealous and hated, firstly, it will take a long time, after this low tide period, He Runqing will not feel comfortable in his heart, and secondly, Li Qian himself will not be happy in his heart, after all, he is a big name.
But if you sign the D file, it's no problem at all.
Four years, at least three albums, according to the sales volume, the singer can get a maximum of 12% of the sales of the album, and in addition, all the artist's commercial performances, endorsements and other income, will be handed over to the studio to be responsible for contact and unified management, even if the artist's own agent contacts the business, it must be reported to the studio for approval before signing the contract, otherwise it is a breach of contract, and the studio will take 30% of the artist's income.
In addition, what studio is responsible for image packaging and promotion, and the studio is responsible for arranging an assistant for the artist and paying the assistant's salary in full, etc., are naturally the meaning of the question.
Such a contract, of course, is a little worse than the original contract of He Runqing at Sony, but in the industry, it is definitely the treatment of top stars, especially as long as the studio takes a 30% commission, it is an absolute conscience price!
Therefore, even if He Runqing becomes popular again in the future, she will definitely not feel uncomfortable about the contract she is signing now-in fact, the reason why her contract at Sony seems to be better than the most high-end contract of Li Qian's studio is mainly because she has been in Sony for a long time, and she has transferred a lot of money for Sony, which has occupied a certain right to speak in the dialogue with the record company and won better treatment for herself.
But in Li Qian's studio, I'm sorry, she hasn't made that level of contribution yet.
In fact, even if she is popular to Liao Liao's level, she comes to the studio after the expiration of her contract, that is, the contract of this grade, if Liao Liao does not come to the studio and goes to other record companies, what she can get is also this grade.
The two returned to Qi Jie's office, Li Qian asked her for two printed D-file artist contracts and showed them to He Runqing, but He Runqing didn't even look at it, took out a pen directly from his bag, and signed both contracts with a brush.
Seeing He Runqing signing, knowing that the two should have negotiated, Li Qian really nodded, Qi Jie was a little excited, Li Qian looked helplessly pouting, but she didn't think about it, she took the contract and signed her name, and then handed the other one back to He Runqing, and stretched out her hand with a smile, "Sister Runqing, welcome!"
He Runqing shook hands with her with a smile, and then took the contract that belonged to him into his bag.
Well, then, He Runqing signed in Li Qian's studio, which is officially completed!
There was no huge signing fee, no press conference, and even Li Qian himself witnessed this moment at the scene.
Moreover, whether it was Li Qian or Qi Jie before, they would never have thought that the first singer signed in after Li Qian's studio opened was He Runqing!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After signing, the two parties agreed to let He Runqing's agent Liu Mei come over tomorrow to confirm the trivial things such as the exclusive lounge and exclusive practice room arranged for He Runqing, and then He Runqing said goodbye and left.
Li Qian didn't move. Qi Jie personally sent her to the door, watched her get on the elevator, and then turned back.
Entered the office. She couldn't help but say excitedly: "He Runqing, we actually signed He Runqing! Don't you disagree? Why did you agree again? By the way, do you want to tell everyone so that everyone can be happy?"
Li Qian smiled, shook his head, and just said lightly: "You call Duan Yuguo and ask him to come over." β
That's it. He walked to the sofa in the hospitality area and sat down, closing his eyes.
A tired face.
When Qi Jie heard this, she was a little confused.
But with her cleverness. It soon became clear that something seemed to be wrong.
So, she was very excited just now, and she immediately calmed down. I agreed. walked over and picked up the phone, dialed an internal number, and notified Duan Yuguo to come over.
In less than a minute, Duan Yuguo knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in.
The door closes.
Li Qian suddenly opened his eyes.
A solemn face.
Duan Yuguo walked in, the first few steps were brisk, but soon, he noticed that Li Qian and Qi Jie's faces didn't seem to be quite right. His footsteps suddenly sank, and his voice was a little cautious. "Mr. Li is good, Mr. Qi is good. β
Li Qian sat on the sofa, looked at him, turned his head to look at Qi Jie again, and said in a low voice: "I believe in you very much, so, the studio has been open for so long, I have been here once or twice, if it weren't for Sister Runqing having to wait for me this time, I estimate that it would take a while to come over." Therefore, all the current operation and everything of the studio are being decided and handled by the two of you, and I have never asked or interfered, and even the staff outside are the two of you who are responsible for interviewing and recruiting......! I gave you the studio, did you let you herd the sheep?"
Speaking of this, Li Qian suddenly stood up and startled Qi Jie.
At this time, Li Qian's voice began to turn fierce, "Yes, there is indeed no business in the studio at present, but the people who spend money to recruit them make them so idle? They can't even stay in the most basic jobs, and they get together to chat? There is no financial room in finance? There is no accounting room in accounting? Don't you need to stand at the front desk to the service desk?"
"I've hired two clerks, and I don't have any business at the moment, but I don't need to be familiar with the business? There is no business, can we let them analyze the album sales records of Dongguan Bookstore and the Record Industry Association in the past few years? According to the singers, according to the different companies, analyze some reports? Is it possible to use these reports to analyze the next popular trend in the domestic music scene?"
"Otherwise, put forward some propositions and let them do an analysis and suggestion on the next business direction of the studio, is it okay? You all know, especially you, Mr. Qi, you know that our studio will definitely consider taking on some film and television soundtrack work in the future, so, what is the current market for domestic film and television soundtracks?"
"Which units are in demand? So which company will eventually take over these lists? Some of these things can be easily found through information, and some even need to be contacted, contacted, and investigated by film and television companies one by one, so shouldn't these market research and market analysis be done in advance?"
Speaking of this, Li Qian turned to Duan Yuguo and looked at him mainly, "Old Duan, Qi is always a novice, and she is not very familiar with how to manage a company, maybe even if she understands, she has no experience, and she doesn't know where to start, but you are experienced, you have stayed in so many companies! Why, looking at the situation outside, you don't feel a little wrong? When you work in other companies, do you see everyone getting together during working hours to chat?"
Duan Yuguo was speechless when he heard this, and lowered his head deeply.
He wanted to refute, but in fact, he knew better than anyone else that what Li Qian said about the current status of the studio was true, and in fact, as the manager of the back office, especially the only middle manager in the current studio, this was simply his direct responsibility, and he was speechless if he wanted to argue.
And Qi Jie was even more completely stunned at this time.
To tell the truth, she has known Li Qian for more than three years, from the first year of high school to the second year of high school, and also served as a Chinese language teacher for two years before and after him. In the past six months or so, after becoming his agent, the contact with each other may not be much, but the content of the contact is getting deeper and deeper.
However, this was the first time she saw Li Qian angry!
In the past, Li Qian was either naughty and mischievous, or mature and calm, or he was also a confident, light-hearted master, in short, he gave people the feeling that he was so gentle and elegant, not impatient. Only occasionally for a moment, such as in the hotel room, when he said to himself and Liao Liao that he wanted to snipe the Five Elements, would he occasionally show his grandeur, but even then, he was still unhurried, and he didn't feel any pressure at all.
But now, Qi Jie suddenly found that he was like that before, just because he didn't encounter something that needed to make him angry! And once something angered him, he really looked like an angry lion!
It's scary!
At this time, seeing that Li Qian seemed to be over, Duan Yuguo first said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I did it wrong, I betrayed your trust, and I ...... next."
Li Qian waved his hand and interrupted his words, of course, at the same time, Qi Jie could only hold back his words.
Then, although he still had a calm face, his voice was much softer, and he just said slowly: "What kind of discipline is it, you have to lay a good foundation at the beginning, and it will be easy to manage when you become bigger in the future, I won't talk nonsense, you must all know more than me! I only ask for two points: first, He Runqing's signing of the contract, including the fact that He Runqing has come to the company twice before, give a gag order, no one in the studio is allowed to mention these things to outsiders, even family and friends!" Otherwise, according to the confidentiality agreement signed in the original contract, she will be fired directly! Especially in the case of He Runqing's signing, although her agent will come back tomorrow, we can't keep it secret internally, but externally, the caliber must be the same! Let's just say that He Runqing is looking for me to contact and invite songs!"
After a pause, he waited for both of them to react before he continued: "Second, I have nothing to say, I will continue to hand it over to you! Rectify it! At present, this trend must be stopped by me!"

That's all there is to it today!
The monthly pass list is still in danger, so I ask you for a few more monthly pass support!
I wrote it until a little more than one o'clock last night, and my eyes are red all day today, and I'm going to go to bed, please......!
