Chapter 23: Reaching Cooperation
Although Shen Yanqing didn't like Wang Xia interrupting her words, she still said to Wang Xia with a smile: "Mr. Wang, don't you think about it anymore, the price will not let you suffer." ”
"Mr. Shen, this song of mine has been exposed, and it is not suitable for your company's singers, this is not a matter of money or not, I think you should be clear. Wang Xia took a sip of coffee.
Of course Shen Yanqing knew, but Lin Jie's day of releasing an album was imminent, and the song "Drunk Red Cliff" was really suitable for Lin Jie, and they were also helpless.
"That's Mr. Shen, I can create a song suitable for that singer on the spot, and I guarantee that it is no worse than "Drunk Red Cliff". Wang Xia suddenly said to Shen Yanqing that he could sell Shen Yanqing a face, so that he could make money and make friends with a record company, why not.
After hearing Wang Xia's words, Shen Yanqing was stunned for a second, and the next second he was slightly happy in his heart, it was a last resort to buy "Drunken Red Cliff" as Lin Jie's title song, but now it is better to have a better choice. It's just that Wang Xia said that he created a song that is not worse than "Drunk Red Cliff" on the spot, which makes Shen Yanqing still a little skeptical, Wang Xia's talent is so terrifying?
"Mr. Wang, do you want to make a song on the spot? Do you want to call me in a few days after the composition is finished?" Shen Yanqing's words vaguely showed that he didn't believe that Wang Xia could create a good song in a short time.
Seeing that Shen Yanqing didn't believe in himself, Wang Xia couldn't help laughing, and said, "Mr. Shen, do you have a song by the singer in your company on your phone, let me listen to his song first, and see if I can create a song that suits him." ”
Seeing this, Shen Yanqing took a deep look at Wang Xia, and played a song by Lin Jie on the spot, Wang Xia was very surprised the moment he heard the singing, this voice is 90% similar to JJ in his previous life, no wonder Dieqian Company wants to buy his "Drunk Red Cliff" is indeed very suitable for this singer.
Although Wang Xia was surprised in his heart, his face was still very calm, and after listening to a song, he said to Shen Yanqing: "Mr. Shen, this singer's voice is very distinctive, can you tell me his name." ”
"His name is Lin Jie, and he is one of the hottest singers in our Diexi company, but a few years ago there was a car accident, the vocal cords were operated on, his voice was no longer at his peak, and his popularity began to decline slowly, so the next album is very important to him for the company. Shen Yanqing said that she didn't need to hide Lin Jie's current state, and she was not afraid that Wang Xia would raise the price of the song because of this, because there was no one in the music industry who didn't know about Lin Jie.
"Lin Jie, okay, Mr. Shen wait for me, do you have a pen or paper, lend me a little." Wang Xia said to Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing saw that Wang Xia really wanted to create a song on the spot, so he immediately handed Wang Xia a pen and a piece of paper in a dark and weird way.
After Wang Xia took the pen and paper, he began to write the lyrics, without thinking about it for a few seconds, as if it had already been stored in his brain. This is indeed the case, Wang Xia is just copying a JJ song, of course you don't need to think about it, it's all reflected in your mind.
A few minutes later, Wang Xia wrote a song from memory, "Mr. Shen, I have already written a song, as for the song, I am also a little eyebrow-raising, you tell me your email account, I will record the song and send it to your mailbox with the score when I go back." ”
Hearing Wang Xia's words, Shen Yanqing was a little confused, this is it? A song came out like this? Not kidding her.
Seeing that Shen Yanqing was in a bit of a confused state, Wang Xia said: "Why don't I give you a section on the spot, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Wang Xia didn't care what Shen Yanqing thought, and immediately sang: "The wind is sticky here, sticking to the thoughts of passers-by; When the rain arrives here, it is entangled into a thread, entanglement us lingering in the world; you are by your side, and fate is written on the Sansheng Stone; Love is one ten-thousandth sweet, I would rather be buried on this day......"
That's right, the song written by Wang Xia this time is "Jiangnan", this song was very popular at the beginning, Wang Xia likes this song very much, I don't know if the single has been looped n times, this song is full of mystery, and there are many words with a story to express the desire for long-term love, as well as the eternal feelings for lovers, the whole song is sad and sad, and JJ's unique voice perfectly interprets the sad love story.
The moment Wang Xia opened his mouth, Shen Yanqing was attracted by his singing voice and listened carefully to Wang Xia's singing. At first, Shen Yanqing was a little suspicious that Wang Xia's song so quickly must not be a good thing, but after listening to this song, she was impressed by Wang Xia, a genius, an out-and-out genius.
After Wang Xia finished singing, Shen Yanqing looked at him with emotion, she never thought that the level of songs created by Wang Xia in the past few minutes would be so high, it is indeed not inferior to "Drunk Red Cliff", not to mention the pop songs in the Chinese music scene, but there are few other songs that can be as famous as it.
"Mr. Wang, you are such a genius, I really admire that you can write such a good song in such a short time. Shen Yanqing praised Wang Xia from the bottom of her heart, thinking that no matter how much she paid, she would win this song.
"In this way, Shen always likes this song very much, and I can sell this song, but I don't know if Shen can impress me in terms of price. Wang Xia said bluntly to Shen Yanqing.
"You can rest assured that I will not be disadvantaged in terms of price, this is a contract, you can take a look. Shen Yanqing took out a contract and said to Wang Xia with a smile.
When Wang Xia saw this, he understood that the other party was prepared, the contracts were prepared in advance, and he estimated that the other party should have prepared several contracts, which killed him.
Wang Xia looked at the contract carefully, suddenly frowned, and said, "Mr. Shen, your company's sincerity is not enough, and you want to buy my song for only 60,000 yuan." "60,000 yuan is not the ideal price in his heart at all. (60,000 pieces including lyrics and songs)
"Mr. Wang, 60,000 yuan is already a lot, you must know that you are just a newcomer, and other record companies can't give this price. Shen Yanqing retorted to Wang Xia, now is the time to talk about the price, it should be strong or strong.
"Mr. Shen, it's not interesting to say this, although I am a newcomer, you have also heard this song, and you must be very satisfied with this song, it is not an exaggeration to say that this song will definitely be very popular, Lin Jie's album can also sell well with this song, and it is not a problem to achieve platinum sales. 60,000 yuan, do you say it is reasonable in your conscience, it is sincere to talk about cooperation, and you are completely insincere. Wang Xia's tone also hardened, and there was a momentum that if you don't satisfy me, I won't sell it.
In the end, Wang Xia and Shen Yanqing had a war of words, Wang Xia's mouth was about to be worn out before the price was set at 80,000 yuan, and Shen Yanqing disagreed, Wang Xia was too lazy to fight anymore, 80,000 is 80,000.
"Grunt" Wang Xia took a few sips of his coffee and continued: "Next, let's continue to talk about the issue of sharing, the contract says that I, as a lyricist and composer, can only account for 8% of the albums sold and the music platforms on the shelves, is this a bit less." ”
Wang Xia still doesn't understand a little about sharing, after all, he hasn't touched this piece, but eight percent does seem to be a bit less.
Shen Yanqing had expected that Wang Xia would put forward an opinion on the proportion of sharing, so he asked, "How much Mr. Wang wants to share, we can discuss." ”
"Twenty percent," Wang Xia said after thinking for a while, Shen Yanqing didn't spit out the coffee in his mouth on the spot after hearing this number.
"Mr. Wang, you are too ruthless, the company is the big boss of the albums sold, which can account for about 50 percent, and this will never become, while other sales channels, such as record stores, can account for almost 20 percent, and the remaining 30 percent is scraped by the lyrics, composers, singers and the national copyright society. Among them, the copyright association will account for 2 percent, after all, there must be financial resources to maintain the return that the creator deserves, and the remaining singers can get 15 to 20 percent, and the lyrics and compositions are the same, each person has 4 percent, and the combination of the two is 8 percent, which is already good among newcomers. ”
"Mr. Shen, you are very clear about the role of this song on Lin Jie and the company, and it is a bit too much to fool me with eight percent. Wang Xia squinted his eyes and said to Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing was afraid that Wang Xia would be angry, so he said: "That's why I said that we can discuss, but Mr. Wang, it is a bit too much for you to rise to 20% all of a sudden, and I can make the decision to increase your share ratio to 10%." ”
"Ten percent? or low, at least 15 percent. Wang Xia said.
After some bargaining, Wang Xia bit the share ratio at 12% and did not let go, Shen Yanqing wanted to press it again, but Wang Xia stopped doing it, and immediately said: "The minimum is 12%, if it is low, I will not do it, Mr. Shen, you think about it." ”
After Shen Yanqing heard it, he knew that this was Wang Xia's limit, and he really didn't agree to talk about it anymore, so he thought about it carefully, to be honest, twelve percent was a bit beyond her expectations, after all, there were ten songs on an album, and Wang Xia only accounted for one, although it was the title song, it was still a bit high. And the company also has to promote, but also produce, and some are where they spend money.
But Shen Yanqing is the vice president of Dieqian after all, and this right is still there, and the company can release a little bit of the proportion of other people's insufficient shares. So a few minutes later, he stretched out his hand and said to Wang Xia with a smile: "Okay, 12 percent is 12 percent, happy cooperation." ”
Wang Xia smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
After that, Wang Xia and Shen Yanqing came to a printing shop to reprint two contracts, Wang Xia signed his name and fingerprints on both contracts, and then he just made a small sample and sent it to Shen Yanqing, the contract was stamped, and Shen Yanqing would send it to him when the law came into effect.
"Mr. Wang, I hope that after this cooperation, we can cooperate often in the future. Shen Yanqing said to Wang Xia with a smile.
"Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. Wang Xia responded with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, do you want to consider joining our Diqian company again, with your talent, I am reluctant to let go. Shen Yanqing said to Wang Xia half-jokingly and half-seriously.
