Dazuiwen looked at the pile of banknotes, and finally took his eyes away, and said with difficulty: "400,000 is not a big deal, the newspapers say that Brother Ah Liang is a genius, representing the new generation of trends in the Chinese music scene." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"500,000!" Guan Weilin said loudly, and increased the weight again. As soon as he finished speaking, a young assistant beside him opened his handbag and poured out bundles of large bills with a face value of Wu Baiyuan into the box.

"Ahh

Hearing this, Xibiao's mouth opened wide, 500,000 plus 400,000 for selling songs, there would be at least 900,000! You can also justifiably take your family to Hong Kong!

Guan Weilin had a good time and enjoyed the reaction on the faces of the two friends around Cheng Weiliang, the friends around the singer should know his bottom line best.

"The most talented, the most promising future stars, etc., are all just prophecies, and prophecies do not represent reality! Sign it, you can help you turn your dreams into reality! The huge sum of 500,000 yuan will be yours immediately, as long as you sign on it. Guan Weilin's eyes looked at Cheng Weiliang, who had not spoken.

Cheng Weiliang quietly read the text of the draft agreement, and silently put the agreement back on the table. With a 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 thin mark, Cheng Weiliang still shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "Mr. Guan, I told Mr. Zhong before that I am used to being free and don't like to be constrained. ”

Zhong Yihao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but speak out at first: "Boy, go and inquire, which record company in Xiangjiang is willing to give a newcomer a signing fee of hundreds of thousands? Who will give such a high price to your songs? Let me tell you, no company has the sincerity of our Polygram! A newcomer in the music industry had better learn to be content and happy first! If you want better conditions, then you will talk about it when you become a big singer! Don't forget, you will have to repay the debt of 200,000 yuan in another week!"

Guan Weilin raised his hand and signaled Zhong Yihao to step back, he thought about it, and said to Cheng Weiliang sincerely: "Mr. Cheng, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss the signing fee again." ”

Cheng Weiliang smiled and said, "Mr. Guan, I said, I don't like to be too restricted! These are some of my basic requirements, if your company can accept it, we will continue to talk about others!" He took out a small piece of paper from his bosom and listed a few lines of words on it.

Guan Weilin picked it up and looked at it, "Sign a contract for one year? All publicity and publicity activities that require the singer's cooperation, especially overseas activities, must be agreed by the singer himself in advance!"

The popular singers in Xiangjiang are not so big-named, they can rebel against the company's arrangement! Guan Weilin's face finally became ugly, "It is precisely Mr. Cheng that you are unwilling to be constrained, so compared with other record companies, we have reduced the contract period to three years! One year is absolutely impossible! No record company will agree to such an excessive request from you." He shook his head heavily.

"Then, you take the money back, and as for my debts, I will naturally have a way to pay them back, and I don't have to worry about it. Everyone, please come back. Cheng Weiliang made a gesture of please.

Guan Weilin got up and said solemnly, "Polygram's conditions are already the best, please Mr. Cheng, you think about it carefully! If you are not satisfied with the signing money, you can talk about it again! The three-year contract is already the bottom line, and it cannot be changed! After thinking about it, call the number on my business card." After saying that, he left with some disappointment.

Those companies outside the box sent people to secretly observe inside, and when they saw Polygram Company despicably taking out two large boxes of cash to buy singers, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth and secretly scolded Polygram for being shameless and losing their identity! But there were still some regrets in their hearts, why didn't they think of this trick! When the three of them also returned and walked out of the box with black faces, they shouted that they were lucky, and there was still a chance.

……

The two of them followed Cheng Weiliang in low spirits and walked back along the street.

A black sedan suddenly stopped in front of them, and a young man in good spirits came over, respectfully handed over a business card, and said to Cheng Weiliang: "You are Mr. Cheng Weiliang, right? Our manager invited you to enjoy your face and have a meal at noon." ”

"Huaxing Records, Chen Shufen. Cheng Weiliang took the business card.

"Brother Liang, isn't Huaxing Records the company of the **** Gu Shibang?"

Dazuiwen didn't think so, but said happily: "Anyway, the previous ones are not appropriate for the time being, and now there is one more choice, and there is one more way." I won't lose a piece of meat when I go to meet and meet!"

Cheng Weiliang and the others came to a time-honored Shanghai restaurant.

A woman in her early thirties, a little rich, stood up with a smile and stretched out her hand to Cheng Weiliang and the others, "I don't know if I can call you Brother Sunglasses? I'm Chen Shufen, I have admired your name for a long time, and I was able to meet you today!"

"Mrs. Chen just calls me Ah Liang, Brother Sunglasses is just a temporary joking name for some fans. Cheng Weiliang also smiled, stretched out his hand and shook the other party gently.

Turning his head to look at the other people in the box, they were all old acquaintances, Cheng Weiliang took the initiative to say hello, "Leslie, long time no see!"

Zhang Guorongjun's face was slightly embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed: "Brother Kevin, Stephen, I was really sorry last time." ”

Cheng Weiliang shook his head with a smile, and generously handed his hand to the other, "Mr. Gu, meet again!"

Gu Shibang was ridiculed by the media in the past two days, and was severely reprimanded by his boss, his face was very bad, this time he came over and thought that he would be humiliated by the other party, but seeing that Cheng Weiliang did not give him a look with a smile, he quickly shook it back and said solemnly: "Mr. Cheng, I misunderstood you last time......

Cheng Weiliang interrupted him, waved his hand, and said with a hearty smile: "It's not a misunderstanding, last time it was indeed me and Stephen who were at fault and offended the two of you, I apologize to you first." Leslie, I said I admired your songs and wanted to be friends with you, so you wouldn't be mad at me, would you?"

Zhang Guorong had a good impression of Cheng Weiliang, and laughed happily at this time, "We also have something wrong, in short, everyone is good friends, if you are unhappy, let it rain and shine." Brother Kevin, you said you were going to send me a song. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Cheng Weiliang to see what he said.

Cheng Weiliang smiled slightly, and took out a song sheet from his pocket, "I've always carried it, just waiting for the day I meet you, I'll hand it over to you! This is the first time I've tried to fill in Cantonese lyrics. Handing the song sheet to Zhang Guorong, Cheng Weiliang thought that this was also the return of the object to the original owner.

"Silence is golden?" Zhang Guorong took the song score, couldn't wait to follow the score, and hummed in a low voice.

"In the dark, you are destined to be rich or poor, whether it is wrong and never right, true and always true!" Gu Shibang also hummed along on the side, the more he sang, the more he felt the extraordinaryness of this song, he slapped his thigh and praised: "Good song, definitely a good song!" I couldn't help but feel annoyed in my heart, if I hadn't been prejudiced from the beginning, I would have discovered this super future star for the company!

"Guorong, Ah Liang is a friend enough, you have to thank him! The company will buy this song and put it on your next album. Chen Shufen was secretly happy, it was really right to bring Leslie over, Cheng Weiliang was more committed to him, and he didn't care about the previous things, it seems that there is also a play to invite him to join Huaxing next!

Next, the two sides talked and laughed at the dinner table, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. When the wine was half-drunk, Chen Shu smiled and invited her, "Ah Liang, I believe you also know our intentions today, since you have signed a contract with Guorong, Sister Chen officially invites you to join our Huaxing Records, I don't know what you think?"

Cheng Weiliang put down his chopsticks and looked around, everyone's eyes were focused on him in an instant, Cheng Weiliang took out a small piece of paper, handed it over calmly, and said lightly: "Sister Chen, I was originally selling a few songs to save some money to tide over the difficulties." Now that the companies have come to the door, I have put forward the above basic requirements to them, and if they can accept it, we can continue to talk. If you can't accept it, just leave it at that!"

Chen Shufan looked at the content on the paper, and her smile suddenly froze.

……

"Brother Liang, we have talked about so many companies today, and this Polygram has the best conditions, why don't you sign them?

Cheng Weiliang sighed slightly and said, "Fine Biao, do you know the value of my twenty songs? In a different era, a well-known local singer to sing, any record company to sign such a singer who can sing and create so many excellent songs, at least a few million, tens of millions of signing money can be signed!"

Cheng Weiliang shook his head and sneered again, "Now these big companies are only willing to offer such meager conditions, but they are just bullying me as a newcomer in the music world, a foreigner, bullying us and waiting for money!"

Millions! The fine mark couldn't react at all in his mind, how many zeros were there in this astronomical number!

"Millions, will the record company give it?" the fine mark had a longing in his eyes.

Cheng Weiliang smiled and said, "It's basically impossible! I won't fight." But when it comes to the number of years of contract, I can't be bound by them. ”

"But Brother Liang, time is running out, what if those companies resolutely refuse to agree to your conditions?"

"They may think that I am singing Chinese songs, although it seems to be popular, but after all, I have not been tested by the Xiangjiang market! Then I'll tell them that I'm not in the future, I'm in the present!" Cheng Weiliang looked out the window with determination in his eyes.

"What if they die?" said that Polygram, which had the best conditions, insisted that it would take more than three years.

"I'll let them know that it's a seller's market! I'm not the only local company to choose from. ”

"I really tore my face in the end, and it was a big deal to break up in one shot or two! Anyway, I already have a reputation, and this plan has already achieved two-thirds of the intended purpose! The record company is just a springboard for me, and without a springboard, I will be more difficult and slower at the beginning of my career! Without them, I would still be able to do it!"

Cheng Weiliang smiled mysteriously, "We have to wait now to see which of the two sides can't sit still first! They probably thought that I would be trapped by the 200,000!"

"Yes, let them regret going when the time comes, let them beg us to sign!" the fine mark nodded in agreement, and his tone became firm. Brother Liang must be right.

Cheng Weiliang came back to his senses, "Take care of your spirits, at three o'clock in the afternoon, there are ATV reporters who want to interview us." ”

……

At night, the office of the general manager of Polygram Records is brightly lit.

Zheng Donghan paced in the office with his hands behind his back while listening to Guan Weilin's account of the negotiations with Cheng Weiliang during the day.

"Boss, judging from the daytime situation, this music talent seems to be not very sensitive to money, but is very obsessed with the issue of contract years. The huge sum of 500,000 yuan is not attractive to him at all, and he returned it to me without blinking!" Guan Weilin sighed helplessly.

"He won't accept it after signing for three years?" Zheng Donghan pinched his chin thoughtfully. That kid didn't look at it last time it wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, and it wasn't a surprise that he couldn't reach an agreement this time, but the poor boy didn't bargain over the signing money, but was obsessed with the number of years of the contract, which made him really unexpected.

"Yes, very resolutely. Still, I think he's still interested in us Polygram, or at least confiding in us what he really thinks. It is said that when he talked to many companies in front of him, he basically did not talk much. So, we still have a good chance of signing him. It's just how to dispel his concerns? Signing for three years is already the minimum requirement, and we can't just sign for one or two years, right? In that case, if we spend a lot of resources to make him popular, he will have to change jobs, and we won't make wedding dresses for others? No, no!"

Guan Weilin spat out a puff of smoke rings and analyzed with some distress. It was the first time he had met such a newcomer to the industry, and he loved freedom more than money! However, he also understood the temperament of musicians, and he also understood that the more talented people are, the more different they are.

"Oh, love music, love freedom, don't love money, quite a young man with personality, I really want to meet him for a while. I'd love to talk to him about some of the new ideas for creating some songs. Polygram's senior musician Bobby said with a smile.

Zheng Donghan shook his head, he had his own judgment, "Wei Lin, you are wrong, in fact, we don't need to spend too much resources to make him popular, because he has already made himself popular! So much media hype him, do you know how popular he is now? Also, there is gossip that last night a large number of his pirated music cassettes suddenly appeared in some underground channels. ”

"If he can prove that his songs are not only affirmed by professionals, but also frantically sought after by the market, selling 100,000 or 200,000 boxes, do we still have a reason to reject him? Even if we only sign for a year or two, we will not lose money on him! Don't forget, he is a singer-songwriter, and he may have other songs in his hands, even those 20 songs, which are enough for us to use as the title song and release a few records. ”
