Chapter 131: Exchange Deng Lijun's Contract
Huang Zhan also nodded when he heard this: "Time is money, you know, you just said 'drag it first', how much benefit did we lose to Fenglong Records?"
If it is a few years later, when the record card comes out, Huang Zhan said this, Wu Cheng believes, but now is the vinyl record period, even if there is a loss, in fact, there is no loss!
"Okay, okay, don't you just want to seize the opportunity to hurt me?" Wu Cheng looked at Huang Zhan speechlessly, and said with a smile: "I naturally have my reasons for doing this! You can make an appointment with the representatives of those families, and let's talk about them one by one." By the way, call Polygram's representatives in first, and we can talk to them about Deng Lijun's contract first!"
When Gu Huang and Huang heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and they didn't seem to expect that Wu Cheng actually had such an idea.
Although they feel that Wu Cheng is actually pretending to be a public benefit and harming the interests of the company. However, thinking that Deng Lijun's contract is transferred to Fenglong Records, it is forgivable to lose a little more. Because, Deng Lijun is a cash cow!
It's just that Polygram's people are not stupid, how can they be willing to do this?
Wu Cheng is not as unconfident as them, since he has the opportunity, he must fight for it, whether he succeeds or not, at least he has worked hard.
There are two people who came to pick up Cha, one is a specialized business, and the other is the producer Feng Tianzhi. Wu Cheng didn't know much about Feng Tianzhi in his previous life, but in this life, as the boss of Fenglong Records, he definitely wanted to know about it.
This guy entered Polygram in the 70s (in fact, it was not called Polygram at this time, but Polygram, and later Polydor was acquired and changed its name), and he once made music for the singer Xu Guanjie, and even Deng Lijun cooperated with him.
It can be said that his attainments in music may not be as famous as the 'Brilliant Two Saints', but in the industry, he is also a well-known figure.
Of course, he has not yet become the general manager of Polygram, just a producer, and has not yet reached that level. But he, a big producer, came to join in the fun, and it is conceivable that Polygram also attaches great importance to the overseas release of Wu Cheng's album this time.
"You two, please take a seat!" Wu Cheng motioned and asked Feng Tianzhi and the others to sit down.
"Hello Mr. Wu, this is our music producer, Mr. Feng Tianzhi, and I am Li Qinsheng, general manager of the marketing business department of Polygram Heung Kong Company. A young man dressed as a successful person in a suit and leather shoes introduced Wu Cheng with a smile and said, "Let's come here this time ......."
Wu Cheng waved his hand and said, "I know very well what you mean, it's just that you want to get the overseas distribution rights of my pure music album from our Fenglong Records!"
Feng Tianzhi smiled and said: "That's right! Mr. Wu is not only talented, but he didn't expect to be a good enough person! Seriously, I have carefully studied this album of yours, and it's a pity!"
"Oh, it's a pity?" Wu Cheng was a little surprised.
Feng Tianzhi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I mean, it's not that your tunes are bad, but they're too good, every time you take them out, they have the possibility of becoming classic songs." However, putting so many classic songs in one album is really a bit of a waste! If it were divided into two albums, I think it would not be a problem for Wind Dragon Records to make more money than it is now. This is a collectible album of classic music. ”
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Feng for your appreciation! However, I don't plan to release a second album." In other words, this album will be the only album in my life!"
Wu Cheng's words were like a bombshell thrown into a calm lake, and suddenly stirred up a thousand waves in the lake of the hearts of the two. The two looked at each other and felt a little incredible!
They couldn't understand why Wu Cheng was so talented, but he was so stingy to take it out?
"Mr. Wu, you're not joking, are you!" Feng Tianzhi said with a smile, "Do you know that you are not only a loss for yourself, but also a loss for the music industry!"
"I'm not kidding!" Wu Cheng looked serious and shook his head, "I know my own musical talent very well, but my voice is always a problem. As for continuing to make pure music tunes, I think it's hard for me to surpass the current album. Rather than being said to be a person in the future who is my Wu someone Jiang Lang's talent, it is better to stop it now and retreat bravely!"
After a pause, Wu Cheng said again: "In other words, this album will be the only album in my life, if this news is released, what do you think, what kind of reaction will the market have?"
Feng Tianzhi felt that Wu Cheng was probably crazy!
And also a madman who doesn't play his cards according to common sense!
However, thinking about it carefully, he had to admire the courage of this young man, if he got along with each other, he didn't know if he had such courage and courage!
In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, who can really retreat bravely?
Feng Tianzhi and Li Qinsheng glanced at each other, and then saw that Manager Li and said, "I don't know what conditions Mr. Wu plans to come up with to hand over the overseas release of this album to us?"
Wu Cheng glanced at Feng Tianzhi and said with a smile: "I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak, you must not think that I am rude!"
"No, no, we also like Mr. Wu's quick talk!"
Wu Cheng nodded and smiled, and said: "In that case, then I will open the skylight and say something bright! If it is the business of other record companies, I will put forward more stringent conditions, after all, this is the only album in my life, even if it is sold slowly, I will not mind!"
Wu Cheng glanced at them, and saw that they were waiting a little nervously, so he said, "But if it were you Polygram, my conditions would be different!"
"I don't know what kind of different method it is?" asked Li Qinsheng a little nervously.
"First of all, I need to transfer Miss Deng Lijun's contract to Fenglong Records from your Polygram side......"
"It can't be!"
Li Qinsheng shouted directly, Deng Lijun is their Polygram's cash cow, if anyone dares to touch her, it will be impossible to get along with them Polygram, and she is their public enemy!
Wu Cheng glanced at him, then looked at Feng Tianzhi, and said with a smile: "In this world, nothing is absolute!
After a pause, Wu Cheng said again: "Also, I have to remind you that Miss Deng Lijun's contract with Polygram has only been left for more than a year, and the year after tomorrow, she will terminate the contract with you!"
Feng Tianzhi calmed down and said, "I wonder if Mr. Wu has any other conditions?"
Wu Cheng smiled: "I have no other conditions attached, even, I can authorize you to produce this album of mine abroad, and I only charge a licensing fee of one dollar for each album." Of course, the premise of this is that PolyGram will transfer Miss Deng Lijun's contract to me free of charge!"
"A license fee for one dollar is too expensive!" Li Qinsheng couldn't help muttering.
Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said: "Is it expensive? In foreign countries, you can buy him a dozen dollars for any record, and with the quality of my album, is it outrageous to buy him for twenty dollars? Twenty dollars, of which your cost is estimated to be only three or four dollars, and the publicity and public relations fees, plus channel fees, and other expenses add up, and you can earn five to ten dollars for an album...... Do you still think it's expensive? Do you need to do the math carefully?"
Feng Tianzhi said: "I want to know, what kind of conditions are other companies?"
"Five dollars for a license, no matter what they price, I'll charge that!"
Li Qinsheng and Feng Tianzhi glanced at each other, and Feng Tianzhi said, "Okay! We need to go back and ask the high-level what they mean." We will do our best to give you an answer!"
Li Feng and the others left, and Gu Huang and the others came out of the lounge next to them, and couldn't help but look at Wu Cheng in a daze. At the end, Huang Zhan couldn't help but speak: "Cheng boy, do you know that if you are like this, is it equivalent to throwing a lot of money into the water? Business, are you doing this? Even if people issue to other companies, they get a commission, and you actually make some kind of 'licensing fee', you are making dead money! Aren't you usually very smart? Why are you stupid today?"
When Wu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother, you say, such a big bait, are they biting! or biting the nickname? It's just an album, if you can change a superstar like Miss Deng Lijun to join our company, are you willing?
"Then, what about other companies?" asked Huang Zhan again.
Wu Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother, you won't be stupid too! Drag it on! You won't be able to open your mouth? Don't tell me, you have even degraded this ability!"
Huang Zhan rolled his eyes helplessly, feeling that he was also making a fool, and he was a little unhappy when this kid seized the opportunity to despise him.
……
What Wu Cheng didn't know was that he was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai here, and the shareholders of Polygram Records had been messed up with the conditions he proposed.
All the shareholders sat together and began to pull around, some felt that Wu Cheng was opening his mouth in a lion's mouth, taking advantage of the danger of others, it was really unkind, and simply refused him.
Others, on the other hand, are thinking about whether it is appropriate to send Deng Lijun out? How much profit can Deng Lijun make for them in a year? And how much benefit can Wu Cheng's album bring to them? They need a clear assessment.
No one is stupid, although the bait given by Wu Cheng is fragrant, but if they think it is poisonous, it is impossible to take the bait. However, in comparison, Wu Cheng is actually a little sincere.
So, they need to come up with a plan!
