45. Conditions

Lin Mu really wanted Tang Xin to sing the feeling she wanted, but helplessly, Tang Xin had never even talked about love, and it was too difficult for her to sing the essence of this song.

It's like asking someone who has never drunk to describe what it's like to have a hangover.

So, Lin Mu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and gave her a guide in voice skills.

Anyway, it's just a sample, don't worry.

Communication University is an art school, and there are many people who play music, so there are several recording studios near the school. After eating, the group took a taxi to find a recording studio called "Sound Moves the Future", and it took more than three hours before and after Lin Mu recorded the sample and sent it to Penguin Music.

After the song was recorded, it was already half past ten in the evening, so everyone went back to school.

……

Following.

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, downtown.

Ueshima Coffee, Box 9.

Ever since he entered the private room, Zhou Hong had been observing the young man in front of him, and at first he wondered if he had gone to the wrong room, because the image of Lin Mu in his mind was a little different from what he actually saw.

He never dreamed that Lin Mu, who wrote the songs "Wukong", "Ten Years", "Dispel Sorrow", and "People Like Me", would actually be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and he always felt that he was a little immature.

However, after a short contact, he suddenly found that he seemed to be unable to see through the young man in front of him.

Because the boy's performance was too calm and decent.

In the young man's body, he didn't see the slightest trace of a peer like him, and he felt like an experienced social person, whether it was the organization of his speech or his ideas, it was very clear, and the wording was also very appropriate.

So, Zhou Hong didn't bother to be polite, and said directly to Lin Mu: "Okay, since we know each other, then I'll get straight to the point." That's right, I came here mainly because I wanted to talk to you about three things, the first is that we read the songs you wrote, and we think the market prospects are very good. So the company sent me over to talk to you about the copyright of these songs, I wonder if you would like to sell these songs to our company?"

"I can sell it to you, but I have one condition. Lin Mu spoke slowly.

He knew that negotiations with Penguin Music, or Entertainment Media, had officially begun.

"Oh, what conditions do you have, speak up and listen, and we'll try to meet them if we can. When Zhou Hong heard this, his brows furrowed, because from Lin Mu's expression, it could be seen that the conditions he said did not seem to be money!

It's not because of the conditions of the money, it's generally not easy to solve.

"First of all, I sell songs based on people, and I have to listen to them sing in person before I decide whether to sell these songs to you, because I don't want some people who can't sing to spoil these songs. ”

There was no room for negotiation in Lin Mu's voice, as if Zhou Hong would leave immediately as long as he didn't agree.

"This ...... OK. Zhou Hong frowned and thought for a while, and spoke.

For one, this is not a loss for their company, and it is even said that this is what their company is pursuing.

Second, the young man in front of him seemed to have a kind of magic, a magic that he couldn't refuse.

There was a powerful aura of confidence in his body, which made him feel that if he refused his request, he would definitely regret it later.

"Then what is the second requirement?" Zhou Hong continued to ask.

"The second requirement is that I have to be the producer of these songs, and I have to listen to all the songs from the singing to the arrangement. Lin Mu spoke, and his tone still didn't have any room for negotiation.

Why?

Because Lin Mu's hands were itchy, he wanted to test what kind of state his music literacy had reached after eating the music literacy capsule.

"This ......"

Zhou Hong was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never thought that there were still creators who had such a request?

He even wondered if the boy in front of him was teasing him, but when he saw Lin Mu's eyes, it didn't seem like he was half-joking, so he had no choice but to speak: "I can agree to the first condition, but I really can't be the master here, I have to discuss it with the company." ”

In the final analysis, Lin Mu's age is still too young, even if these are really written by him, he doesn't think that Lin Mu can do these songs well.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your reply!"

Lin Mu said, and prepared to get up and leave.

Zhou Hong saw that Lin Mu was about to get up and leave, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hey, don't worry! We just said the first thing, and I still have two things to discuss with you." ”

Lin Mu sat down again when he heard this, in fact, he had already guessed in his heart what Zhou Hong was going to say to him, but he still pretended not to know: "Oh, what else is there, you can talk about it together." ”

"Okay, then I'll briefly say it together, the second thing is that we hope to be able to buy the adaptation rights of "Wukong", and the third is that we hope that you can join us, "Xun Entertainment Media", even if you don't sign a contract, we still hope to have further cooperation with you in terms of lyrics and music. ”

Zhou Hong's tone was very sincere, because he could see that although the young man in front of him seemed young, he was very difficult to deal with, and he couldn't deal with it with money, so he only talked about cooperation, not money.

"First, oh, the second thing is negotiable!"

Lin Mu paused suddenly when he said this, and then continued to speak: "Well, in fact, the second thing is basically the same as the third thing, I am a creator now, so I naturally need to rely on selling my works to make money." However, I will not join your 'Xun Entertainment Media' and will not sign contracts with other entertainment companies, but there is no problem in cooperating, I can write songs for you, but the previous requirements will not change, I only write songs for people who meet my requirements. If you can do the Lord, then the next thing we have to talk about is the distribution of benefits. ”

The reason why Lin Mu said this naturally had his reasons, or purposes.

Contrary to the lack of good songs faced by the entertainment industry in this world, he has a library of lyrics and songs from the entire world in his previous life.

What he lacks now is good songs, what he lacks is some good voices to sing these songs and help him improve his fame, firstly, to help himself make headlines, and secondly, to lay the foundation for his future path.

"You don't have to worry about the price, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. When I came, the president told me that as long as you are willing to write songs for us, the price is negotiable. ”

Zhou Hong heard Lin Mu start to talk about money, and hurriedly gave Lin Mu a reassurance.

Now he didn't have time to think too much, he just wanted to strive for cooperation with Lin Mu as soon as possible, because the songs that Lin Mu passed on to them were worthy of him to fight for like this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hong suddenly spoke: "I want to take the liberty of asking, are the lyrics, songs, and arrangements, including the arrangement of "Wukong", really all done by you." You made all these instruments and accompaniments in it alone?"

"Yes, I did it all by myself, without the help of anyone else. Lin Mu replied.

"Oh, that must have taken a lot of time, right?" Zhou Hong asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, it did take a lot of time to do it alone, a total of two hours before and after, from the idea to the completion of the arrangement!" Lin Mu's tone was very flat, but if this was heard by the music producer, he would have to be killed.

"What? From the generation of the idea to the production of the work, two hours?" Zhou Hong was really frightened at this time, his mouth opened wide and his face was full of incredulity, he couldn't believe what his ears heard!

"Do you think it's a little incredible?" Lin Mu suddenly asked with a smile.

"It's not that I think it's incredible, it's that this thing itself is incredible!" Zhou Hong didn't hide the shock in his heart at all, and looked at Lin Mu's eyes as if he had seen a ghost.

What kind of freak is this guy!

If what he says is true, then what a great talent he has for music?

To be honest, Zhou Hong didn't believe that there were any so-called genius boys in the entertainment industry before.

Because he knows that those so-called genius teenagers are just a gimmick, they are all packaged and not credible at all.

It's the same with those so-called creative geniuses, most of the works are actually written by others, and then they buy them and put their names on them, which is a common thing in the circle.

But after listening to "Wukong", watching the singles that Lin Mu passed to him, and listening to him only take two hours to complete the whole song of "Wukong", Zhou Hong realized how arbitrary his previous ideas were.

It turns out that there are really geniuses in this circle!

There's one in front of you!

The more Zhou Hong thought about it, the more shocked he became, because he was able to become one of the managers of Penguin Music because he had a deep study of pop music.

If he hadn't seen Lin Mu with his own eyes, after communicating with Lin Mu personally, he wouldn't have been able to believe that the songs he saw before were actually written by a freshman!

Looking at Zhou Hong's shocked look, Lin Mu knew that his goal had been achieved, smiled, and said: "There is nothing incredible, the reason why I would make such a request to you is naturally because I have a certain confidence in my production ability." Otherwise, even if you really agreed to let me be their producer, I wouldn't dare to go, and if I mess up the song then, wouldn't it be like shooting myself in the foot? After all, I still want to make money by buying more songs in the future, but I don't dare to make such a mistake!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then the problem will be easy to solve, I will let go today, and I will agree to your previous requests. And I sincerely invite you to join the 'Xunyu Media', although we are a newly formed company, but the background is absolutely tough, I believe that with your strength in our company's packaging and publicity, you will definitely be popular. ”

Reluctant to let the child catch up with the wolf, Zhou Hong decided to let it go today, subconsciously, he felt that as long as he could get in touch with Lin Mu, he should have many different surprises in his future life.

Lin Mu heard Zhou Hong say this and said, "I understand your kindness, but I really don't have the idea of signing any entertainment company." ”

"Okay then, then I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

Zhou Hong just tried it, and when he saw that Lin Mu still refused, he stretched out his hand.

Lin Mu also stretched out his hand, shook it with Zhou Hong, and said, "Since that's the case, I believe that you didn't come over today to negotiate a contract with me directly, you should want to win me over, right?" But before that, please arrange for your company's artists to meet with me as soon as possible, as long as they are not really bad, I can guarantee that they will be popular. Of course, the premise is that these songs have to be handed over to me to produce. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll arrange it as soon as I go back, and try to let them come over and meet you as quickly as possible!"

Somehow, Zhou Hong felt that his heart suddenly became a little excited, and he couldn't wait to see those songs come out.

"In that case, why don't you just tell me what you want, and I'll try to help you get it when I go back!" Zhou Hong continued.

"There's no hurry, you can arrange for your company's artists to meet with me first, let me listen to their voices, and after a few demos have been made, we will discuss the contract when you are satisfied, after all, then you can be somewhat sure, right?" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back and make arrangements!" Zhou Hong felt the same when he heard this, so he agreed, but what made him a little puzzled was that he always felt that there was always a strange feeling in Lin Mu's smile.

It's like a cunning little fox.

"Alas, by the way, who sang the songs "Long Time No See" and "Light Chaser" in the demo you passed on in the past?" Zhou Hong then asked.

"What, interested in them?" Lin Mu looked at Zhou Hong with a smile.

In fact, he was quite surprised by yesterday's recording, first he found Tang Xin, who looked very aggressive, but his voice was extremely catchy when he sang, and when he went to the recording studio later, he was attracted by Gu Yue when he heard Gu Yue speak.

Before, he thought that Gu Yue was just dancing well, but now he understands that Gu Yue's attainments in music are not low, and there is absolutely no problem with releasing songs and records.

"Good voice, want to meet. Zhou Hong said when he heard this.

Lin Mu thought for a moment, touched his phone, and said, "This, I really can't be the master." I'll go back and ask for you, and I'll let you know if they want to go in this direction again. ”

Zhou Hong saw that he seemed to have any concerns or thoughts, so he said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

To be able to talk about these songs today, he has completed his task.

"It's fine. Lin Mu shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, it's okay, and I'm happy to work together. ”

Zhou Hong stretched out his hand again.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Thinking that his plan to borrow chickens and lay eggs was about to be realized, Lin Mu smiled brightly.
