Chapter 214
(To be revised)
Early in the morning, someone banged on the door and went to open the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ah Liang, fine mark, good morning!" Dazuiwen poked his head into the door and greeted the two in the room with a smile.
"Big Mouth Wen, I annoyed us all night last night, why are you here early in the morning?" Fine Label guarded the door, refusing to let him enter the door, staring at Big Mouth Wen and saying unceremoniously. This unrighteous bastard thing, who used to hide from them like a plague, is now like a leper dog, and he can't get rid of it!
Ignoring the bad attitude of the fine label, the big mouth Wen put on a smile on his face even more, shook the breakfast bag that the fine label was carrying, licked his face and said, "The fine label, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you?" Look, I went a long way to buy your favorite Chen Li Ji xiaolongbao. It's hot, eat it while it's hot!" As he spoke, he stuffed the xiaolongbao into the fine label's hand, and while the fine label was stunned, he squeezed in through the crack in the open door.
"Ah Liang, I sang hard last night, and I didn't eat anything all night, so I must be hungry now, right? This egg tart and vegetable sandwich are what you used to love to eat, so let's pad your stomach first." The big mouth ran to Cheng Weiliang's side, took out the food in the bag the same, and put it on the table in front of Cheng Weiliang attentively, "Oh, and this, this is fresh milk, drink it while it's hot, it's good for beauty and detoxification." ”
Cheng Weiliang looked in the mirror, sorted out his clothes, turned his head to look at the big mouth, and said lightly: "Thank you! ”
Seeing that Cheng Weiliang's temper was not as ugly as the fine label's face, he hurriedly climbed up the pole and said cautiously: "Ah Liang, you are going to meet with the representatives of the major record companies in a while, right?"
When the fine mark heard this, he reacted strongly and stopped him loudly: "You go with you, you big decay god, unlucky ghost! Every time you go back to Diamond Mountain, someone will be unlucky, and the last time you had a rare trip back to Diamond Mountain, you ended up getting a stick on the head!, let's go back to your rich woman!"
With a black line on his mouth, he shouted: "Fine Biao, don't be so ugly, why am I an unlucky ghost? No matter how you came to Xiangjiang back then, I borrowed a house for you to live in, and you must be grateful! I went with me to help Wei Liang." ”
"Mention the house again, you ...... Do you want to be embarrassed? You use this reason to eat me every time! In short, you are not allowed to go with you! If you go, you will definitely pass on bad luck to Brother Liang, and it will ruin his big thing!"
The big mouth smacked his lips, put on the shoulder of the thin label, and said seriously: "The fine standard, you are always so impulsive, and you can't do things with your brain, and Wei Liang is a newcomer to Xiangjiang and is not familiar with the doors inside." ”
Things in the entertainment industry are very complicated, those big companies are rich and powerful, they are not good men and women, they are like tigers who eat people and don't spit out bones, if you are not careful, you will be recruited in the negotiation!"
Seeing Cheng Weiliang look over, Big Mouth Wen slapped his chest with a bang, and said loudly: "Ah Liang, no matter how I say it, I have been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and I am more expert than you." Don't worry, with me on the side to remind you, they don't want to play tricks, those companies don't really spend hundreds of thousands, we will never sign a contract with them!"
"In short, in short......" Hearing this, the fine mark was still angry, but he couldn't think of any other reason to refute him for a while.
"Zhong Shengwen, you have to follow, you can!" Cheng Weiliang buttoned his shirt and glanced at Dazuiwen.
As soon as Dazuiwen heard that he could follow, he immediately smiled, and was about to pat Cheng Weiliang on the shoulder and praise his wise decision.
"But please keep your mouth shut all the time!Stand aside and be a beautiful man quietly!" Cheng Weiliang said softly, "In the past few days, you have broken my news, and you are very happy, right?"
The corners of Big Mouth Wen's mouth twitched, "Ah Liang, I actually ...... I ...... "He regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth!"
In the past three days, he has been praised by some cunning reporters, and he has easily forgotten to be vigilant, and has exploded a lot of Cheng Weiliang's private information without a handle.
"Hey, wait for me, Brother Liang!" Cheng Weiliang and Xibiao went out, and Dazui Wen slapped his mouth a few times in remorse, and hurriedly followed.
……
This is a relatively high-end tea restaurant not far from Diamond Head. Cheng Weiliang invited several record companies that handed him business cards to have morning tea together.
When Cheng Weiliang and the three arrived, representatives of the eight record companies had already arrived early, and the box was full of people, and the representatives of each family seemed to be in harmony and were talking and laughing.
"Sorry guys! Cheng Weiliang walked in and hugged his fists at the people in the box.
The representatives of each family stood up one after another and said, "Mr. Cheng, it's not too late, it's just right!"
"I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for enjoying my music!" Cheng Weiliang said with a smile, "Music has been my hobby since I was a child, and I have always wanted to find opportunities to communicate with my colleagues in Hong Kong since I came to Hong Kong." Ladies and gentlemen, I've always wanted to talk to me about joining, but I've always had doubts about joining a professional record label. Thanks to all of you, I'll listen to your opinions today!"
Cheng Weiliang wanted to come to a small box and talk one-on-one with representatives of various companies.
Kang Yi Chengyin: Brother Sunglasses...... Joining a professional record company and being a professional singer is the right way...... We will praise you as a superstar like Xu Xiaofeng, Guan Zhengjie, and Xu Guanjie...... Buy out your song at a high price...... Heung Kong ID card helps you get it...... We will sign you a 10-year contract to ensure that you will live in Hong Kong for the rest of your life.
Eternal Records: ...... Only by joining a professional company can you achieve your dreams. Like Luo Wen and Zhang Mingming, everyone in Xiangjiang knows about it...... You sign this five-year contract, your ID card will help you get it, and the debt of 200,000 yuan will help you pay it in advance.
Xinli Records: ...... Independent singers have no future, we are the most international music company in Hong Kong...... In five years, we will help you create a number of albums, first based in Hong Kong, and then occupy the Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even Japanese markets, so that you can become an international superstar...... After signing this contract, the company will help you pay it back...... I'll give you % of the record royalty dividend for the first year, % for the second year, % for the fifth year, other companies can't offer such generous conditions, and the average newcomer will not give the record dividend at all when he first enters the industry.
Warner, EMI Records: ......
Representatives of each record company walked into the box one by one to talk to Cheng Weiliang in detail, but they all came in high spirits and returned disappointed. After leaving the box, they also inquired about the conditions offered by other competitors, but others were not stupid, and no one refused to reveal their own details.
All morning, no matter what the record company representatives said, Cheng Weiliang listened to it, rarely spoke, and did not sign any contracts! To be honest, the conditions offered by these companies were already very generous for newcomers, but for Cheng Weiliang, none of them met his expectations.
The biggest problem is that all companies offer a contract condition of at least 5 years. Obviously, the record company is very optimistic about Cheng Weiliang, a newcomer, but the more optimistic he is, the more he must be bound with a contract, preferably for ten or eight years!
Of course, they will not accept spending a lot of resources to make newcomers popular, and after a year or two, they will let the golden phoenix fly away, and cheapen other companies for nothing!
……
Guan Weilin walked confidently into the box, they were the last negotiation company today.
Guan Weilin, the heavyweight of Polygram and the gold medal record producer, didn't talk much nonsense, just briefly introduced himself, and went straight to the point, handed the text of the agreement with a series of preferential treatment to Cheng Weiliang, and then asked Zhong Yihao to open the black suitcase full of 100 yuan bills, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Cheng Weiliang.
“…… Mr. Cheng, this is the text of the agreement that we drafted, you can take a look at it, and you can raise any objections. Please rest assured, PolyGram is the most influential international record industry giant, and there is no doubt about its strength, join our company to best display your musical talent. ”
Director Guan looked at Cheng Weiliang opposite with bright eyes, "In terms of treatment, we will definitely give you the best treatment." As long as you sign a contract with our company for three years, the 300,000 signing fee is yours. ”
Sitting next to him, the fine mark that hadn't made much noise all the way saw the box full of cash, and his Adam's apple slipped unconsciously.
There is no doubt that so many companies in front of them, no matter how fanciful they blow, what will help you repay your debts, what promises such as becoming an emperor superstar in the future, for the fine standard, it is not more real than the pile of banknotes that dazzled his eyes in front of him!
Brother Liang really did it, and in less than a month, someone would really automatically send them a large sum of money! The burden of 200,000 yuan that had been weighing on his heart for a long time could finally be unloaded!
Dazuiwen saw a large box of money, and his eyes widened! He was a little stronger than the fine mark, and after swallowing his saliva secretly, he pursed his lips, forced himself to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and said with deliberate disdain on his face, "Wan ...... With our Brother Aliang's musical talent, with his current fame, ......."
"If you don't think it's enough, we'll add another 10,000 yuan! I know you need money now, and we will buy out your twenty songs at a high price of no less than 10,000 yuan per song according to the quality of each song. ”
Guan Weilin glanced at the fine mark that was restless and seemed to want to pounce and take the money box away the next moment, and then looked at Cheng Weiliang, who was still silent, he chuckled lightly, and waved his hand to let Zhong Yihao open another file box, which contained 10,000 yuan that had already been prepared, and also pushed it in front of Cheng Weiliang.
Then he threw out another tempting condition: "In addition, our company can provide you with two indicators of work visas to Hong Kong, and you can pick up your relatives and friends to come to Hong Kong for reunion." ”
Since inquiring about Cheng Weiliang's identity and the inside information that he owes a huge debt of 10,000 yuan, Polygram's senior management has set a strategy of moving him with emotion and luring him. The high-level did not believe that under the offensive of tens of thousands of huge amounts of cash and other extremely favorable conditions, the mainland boy, who had to pay off the debts of the association within a month, could withstand such temptation!
"Ten thousand! two indicators for going to Hong Kong!" said Fine's mouth wide open, and he felt that he was about to lose his breath.
"There are also twenty songs, each of which is at least 30,000 yuan, so wouldn't you get a total of 1 million?" and you can take your family to Hong Kong in a justifiable way!
Dazuiwen stared at the pile of banknotes for a while, and then it was not easy to look away, and said with difficulty: "It's not a big deal, the newspapers all say Brother Liang...... He, he's a musical genius...... He, he represents the future trend direction of Chinese music. ”
"Ten thousand!" Guan Weilin said loudly, and increased the weight again. As soon as he finished speaking, a young assistant beside him opened the bag in his hand and poured out bundles of large bills with the face value of Wu Baiyuan into the box.
"Wan! ahhh
Guan Weilin looked at it with a smile, he enjoyed the expressions on the faces of these two friends, and from the reactions of Cheng Weiliang's friends, he could get a glimpse of his own bottom line.
Cheng Weiliang quietly read the text of the draft agreement, and silently put the agreement back on the table. With a gentle push of both hands, he pushed the two large boxes of money on the table back to Guan Weilin's side.
"Brother Liang!"
"Wei Liang!" the two exclaimed in surprise.
Guan Weilin's face changed, the other party was still dissatisfied with so much money, and his appetite was too great!
Holding down the shoulder of the fine mark, Cheng Weiliang smiled and said: "Director Guan, Polygram is a good company, I have said so much just now, I already understand your sincerity." I told Mr. Zhong before that I am a person who is used to being free and does not like to be constrained. ”
"Now, let me tell you what I think. Here are my three basic requirements, you can take a look at them first. If your company can accept it, let's move on to other things!" he took out a small piece of paper from his arms, listed a few lines of words on it, he put the paper on the table, and pushed it in front of Guan Weilin.
Guan Weilin took it and looked at it, his face changed, "First, sign a contract for one year?"
"Yes. Cheng Weiliang nodded lightly.
Guan Weilin continued to read, "Second, all promotional activities and commercial performances arranged by the company and local commercial performances, especially overseas activities, must consult the singer himself in advance!"
"Yes, that's important, too. Cheng Weiliang nodded again, although he heard that Polygram would not treat artists harshly, and it was still more humane to treat its artists, but the conscience of capitalists to pursue profit maximization...... He felt that it was safer to write the conditions in black and white into the contract. He didn't want to be used as a cash cow one day, so he toured around the world non-stop, and fell tired on the stage. He will try to cooperate with the company, but the company must also give him full autonomy.
"Thirdly, the company cannot interfere in the singer's private life. Guan Weilin read.
Popular singers are not so big! It's just too much! But the last two can be tolerated, but the first condition is absolutely unacceptable.
Guan Weilin's face became extremely serious, and he shook his head heavily, "It is precisely because you are unwilling to be constrained, Mr. Cheng, so compared to other record companies, we have taken the initiative to reduce the contract period to three years! One year is absolutely impossible! No company will agree to such an excessive request from you." (To be continued.) )
