Chapter 32: Deed of Sale
…
Liu Yan's ability to bargain is still good.
Moreover, listening to Li Qing "unintentionally" talk about Liu Tian, who planned to buy all the nearby courtyards, he had a heart, and secretly helped Liu Yan bargain with the seller.
The seller let it go again and again, and in the end, the courtyard house at No. 45 Mengduan Hutong was sold for 400,000 and 2,000.
In addition, the intermediary Liu Tian also got a high intermediary fee of 3,000 yuan, of course, the premise is that Liu Tian has to help Li Qing and the seller run the transfer procedures of the courtyard at No. 45 Mengduan Hutong.
As the saying goes, if there is no pressure, there is no motivation.
Because he had to bear the money to buy the courtyard house at No. 45 Mengduan Hutong, Li Qing, who was not very enthusiastic about promoting CDs, also began to be active!
As soon as "Wukong" was released, it shocked many people, not only the majority of listeners and people in the Chinese music industry, but also people in the Chinese film and television industry - the five-minute "Wukong" MV actually made the effect of a visual blockbuster, countless directors bought the "Wukong" MV back and secretly studied how it was filmed, Huang Lei, who knew Li Qing in the crew of "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall", called Li Qing and said: Many teachers in Beiying are also studying the shooting techniques of the "Wukong" MV, and even some teachers proposed to make "Wukong" The filming techniques of the MV are incorporated into the textbook.
The media fired mercilessly: "The reason why Chinese films are slumping is because all good directors have gone to shoot MVs!", "Li Qing - a good film director who has been delayed by music!", "It's not that there are no directors in the mainland who can compare with Hong Kong and even Hollywood, but this director is busy shooting MVs!......
"If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world. If I am a demon, what can I do?"
"I want this day, and I will no longer be able to cover my eyes, and I will not be able to bury my heart in this earth, and I will all be able to understand my will, and I want all the gods to disappear. ”
"I want to hear the cry of the heavens, I want to hear the prayers of the gods, I know that the heavens will be angry, but do you know that the heavens will also tremble, when the sky is shaken, I laugh loudly, wave the wishful golden hoop stick, stir him upside down and turn the sky upside down, from now on for 10,000 years, you will all remember my name, Monkey King!!"
“……”
These domineering golden sentences from "The Legend of Wukong" are also accompanied by the song "Wukong" and the legend about Li Qing, spreading like a plague!
To be honest, there is also an element of the times creating heroes here.
The reform and opening up of the mainland has been exactly 15 years since this year, and the admiration of personal value has become a concept recognized by the vast majority of young people, but personal value is not recognized by the mainstream values at this time.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the MV of "Wukong" has received all positive reviews, many old-school intellectuals in the mainland have publicly criticized Li Qing for disrespecting the famous book and distorting "Journey to the West", and being an intellectual!
For these comments, whether they are good or bad, Li Qing didn't give a response, and he didn't care about giving a response, he is now too busy to cooperate with the propaganda of "Wukong", how can he take care of these?
Slightly different from the situation in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan listeners were more attracted by the MTV video music award won by the MV of "Wukong", as well as the beautiful melody and shocking images, and then noticed the "Wukong" album.
Whether it is the mainland audience, or the listeners of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the reason why they are eager for the "Wukong" special is not only because the MV of "Wukong" is as dazzling as a comet, but also because they have also discovered a new continent in the "Wukong" special - "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", "Love and Hate", "Blue Lotus", "Thousands of Questions", "Kiss Goodbye", "Forget the Love Water", "Move", "Two People's Fireworks" These good songs have also been excavated by them one by one.
In just two or three weeks, the album "Wukong" has changed from a comet to a sun, obscuring the light of several stars, and the title of "Emperor of Change" has become louder and louder.
Under the guidance of well-intentioned people, Li Qing soon became the biggest challenger of the four heavenly kings who are currently the hottest in the music world.
At this moment, Liu Zhuohui came back from the bend and found Li Qing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
"Going to the bend?"
In Liu Zhuohui's office, Li Qing, who wanted to rest for a while, couldn't help frowning!
Liu Zhuo patiently explained: ""Forget Love Water" is competing for the Xiangjiang Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award, Xiangjiang New City Radio Explosive Chinese Song Golden Melody Award and other awards, "Kiss Goodbye" is competing for the "Taiwan Golden Melody Award for Best Song of the Year" award, "Move" and "Two People's Fireworks" are also very popular in Xiangjiang and Taiwan, and the UFO side hopes that you will go to Taiwan to record the MV of these four songs, so that they can release the album "Wukong" in Xiangjiang and Taiwan. ”
Li Qing frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to record in the mainland?"
Liu Zhuo said: "They don't believe in the ability of mainland musicians, and they are afraid that mainland musicians will ruin these good songs...... As you know, there is a long gap in music in the mainland. ”
Li Qing smiled and said, "I'm not a mainland musician?"
Liu Zhuo waved and said: "You are different, you are a musician who has won an international music award, you are an international musician, the same as Wang Jingwen (Wang Fei), no, it should be said that your potential is greater than Wang Jingwen, she is just a singer, and you are an all-round musician...... Let's be honest with you, UFO asked you to go to the stage bend because it wanted to sign you. ”
After a deep groan, Li Qing said, "Do you want me to go to the flying saucer?"
Liu Zhuo waved and said: "The foundation of the earth is too weak, and it is impossible to open up the record market in Xiangjiang and Taiwan alone...... I think you should also know something about UFO, and I personally recommend you to join UFO, because only by working with a big company like UFO can you show your musical talent. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhuo waved and said: "I won't hide it from you, our big boss has subscribed for three percent of the shares of the flying saucer, and the flying saucer has also subscribed to some shares of our land, and now our land and the flying saucer are strategic partners, huh...... To be precise, now our land is a subsidiary of UFO in the mainland, so if you sign UFO, it is equivalent to signing the earth. ”
Li Qing's goal is film, not music.
The reason why Li Qing makes music is because he has no money and no opportunity to make movies at this stage, and he needs a channel to enter the entertainment industry.
Therefore, deep down, Li Qing is not willing to join UFO Records.
But if you don't join UFO Records, even if you don't get retaliated against and banned by UFO Records, it will inevitably affect the release of the album "Wukong", after all, no company will do its best to help outsiders release albums.
Li Qing, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, how can he not understand this truth?
"Hey~ Let's earn the first pot of gold first!"
Thinking of this, Li Qing said: "I am naturally willing to join UFO, but after all, it is a deed of sale, so I have a few conditions." ”
Liu Zhuohua's heart is a little uncomfortable!
At the beginning, he sincerely invited Li Qing to join Dadi Records, but Li Qing repeatedly shirked it, and finally only signed the contract for this CD!
Now UFO Records wants to sign Li Qing, and Li Qing directly agreed!
Suppressing the taste in his heart, Liu Zhuo waved and said, "You say, I'll try my best to help you fight for it." ”
Li Qing was not polite, and said bluntly: "After all, it is the first time to cooperate, and we don't know each other very well, so I think it's better for us to sign a short contract to get to know each other first, huh...... Just sign it for a year. ”
Liu Zhuo shook his head and said, "One year is too short, and the short term is generally three years......"
Li Qing interrupted Liu Zhuohua with a smile: "I heard that Warner is buying flying saucers. ”
Liu Zhuohui understood what Li Qing meant, Warner's acquisition of UFOs means a change, a big change, and it is understandable to sign a one-year contract for the sake of insurance.
After a deep groan, Liu Zhuo waved and said, "Put this one down first, and I'll discuss it with the flying saucer when I go back." ”
Li Qing said: "Second, I make my own album, and others are not allowed to point fingers. ”
Liu Zhuohui agreed: "Of course, you have proven yourself, and the flying saucer wants to sign you, to a large extent, because of your production ability." ”
Li Qing said: "The third article, my monopoly, my concert, are all divided, and the proportion will be discussed when the results of this monograph come out." ”
Liu Zhuo waved his head and said, "I think there should be no problem with this one, after all, it is fairer for both parties to divide it." ”
Li Qing said: "The last one, I want to advance two million royalties......"
Liu Zhuohua shook his head without even thinking about it: "Impossible, although your special card seems to be doing well at the moment, what if the stamina is insufficient, it is impossible for the flying saucer to agree to your condition!"
Li Qing's eyelids drooped, and then he said lightly: "I just bought a house, and the other party urged me to pay the final payment, if this matter can't be resolved, I'm really not in the mood to do anything else." ”
At this stage, the people who are most afraid of Li Qing picking up are Liu Zhuohui and Dadi Records, because once Li Qing picks up, it may ruin the good situation that Liu Zhuohui and Dadi Records have managed so hard.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Liu Zhuo waved and said, "In this way, I will discuss with the big boss and let the earth lend you a million." ”
Li Qing bit the bullet and said, "Two million, I have an urgent need." ”
Liu Zhuo frowned and said, "Is the house in Kyoto so expensive?"
Li Qing said: "I bought the palace, the Guojun Palace, how can it be cheap, and I have other uses...... Okay, go back and wait for me to finish, I will temporarily mortgage my house to you, and when my royalties come down, I will get my house back. ”
Li Qing's words have already reached this level, and Liu Zhuohua can only say: "Okay, I'm going to do the work of being a big boss, but I can only do my best, don't blame me if you can't do it, you also know that the earth has not had much income since its establishment, and the big boss has invested tens of millions of dollars." ”
Li Qingxin and Liu Zhuohui's ...... It's weird.
Dadi Records became a subsidiary of UFO Records in the mainland, and UFO Records had to own at least 50% of the equity of Dadi Records.
In this case, UFO Records naturally has to inject capital into Dadi Records, and the shareholders of Dadi Records can take the opportunity to cash out a sum of money.
Besides, didn't the so-called big boss get a three-percent stake in UFO Records?
Warner is about to buy UFO Records, and this three percent of the shares may allow him to earn one or two million.
In other words, the big boss and Dadi Records have already paid off, and they can still make a lot of money, and this is not counting the follow-up income.
But these words cannot be spoken.
Li Qing said with a smile on his face: "Lao Liu, you talk to the big boss well, I am really in difficulty, otherwise it would be impossible to miss these few months...... Don't worry, as long as the money arrives in my account, I will immediately get up and go to the bend. ”
Liu Zhuo's face couldn't help but twitch, "Didn't this bastard clearly say that he wouldn't go to the platform if the money didn't get into the account!"
