"A card costs 5 channels, which Shengda Network accepts in principle. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info we can give each card a total of 8 yuan in marketing fees, 5 yuan for Legend Entertainment, and 3 yuan for Internet café owners. The monthly card of 35 yuan is 27. ”

After communicating with Chen Tianqiao, Luo Xianxian gave a preliminary reply quite refreshingly.

After all, the channel fee can't be spent, and there are too many peer precedents to learn from. So many senior online game companies have very transparent deduction rates for bookstores and newsstands at all levels.

The disagreement between Luo Xianxian and Legend Entertainment is mainly reflected in the one-time investment in the early stage.

She insisted: "1 million liquidated damages is too little, if you shake me, you won't be able to get anything out after 3 months, even if you accompany us with 1 million liquidated damages, we will lose an important time outlet." After all, after signing the contract, we had to promise not to develop our own top-up system. ”

Gu Cheng's answer to this was very frank: "Okay, if you think 1 million is too little, then add a little more to the pre-development fee, give 2 million, if I can't do it, I will also compensate you 2 million, are you willing." ”

Someone sent more money in the early stage, how could Gu Cheng not want it. He is not Chen Tianqiao's persecution paranoia that is afraid of his peers' calculations every day - he really wants to cooperate with Shengda.

The flaws in the setting of "Dragon Clan" are destined to make this game unsellable in areas with poor network quality, so Gu Cheng is really not afraid that Chen Tianqiao will use this trick to overtake him.

Luo Xianxian sweated down, and she tried to see if Gu Cheng was bluffing or sincere. It's a pity that Gu Cheng's city mansion looks so frank that she can't see anything.

I can only go to the last trick that Chen Tianqiao taught her on the phone just now.

She gritted her teeth and argued: "It's okay to add 2 million to the prepaid development fee." But who knows if after you develop this system, will you only pay for one game for our 'Dragons' in the future? If we pay for it and you go back and sell a bunch of users, we shouldn't pay for this development fee!"

Gu Cheng smiled playfully, and said in his heart that Chen Tianqiao was quite brainy, but he thought to himself that with the situation in 2001, I am afraid that there will not be a third similar online game to this point, even if he agrees to let the 'Dragon Clan' monopolize this 'third party', it is not a big deal.

As for non-similar and trending online games, such as "Magic Baby", Gu Cheng was originally going to vigorously ban and suppress them, and it is absolutely impossible to cooperate with the other party - "Magic Baby" is also an online game that has recently been hyped up by the concept of speculation, and it will be officially launched for a fee in the second half of this year. The game is a parody of last year's masterpiece Stone Age, but with tweaks and improvements to the system and graphics.

Because of the turn-based setting, games like "Magic Baby" naturally have strong adaptability to spicy chicken and stuttering networks. Therefore, its target market positioning of "rural areas surrounding cities" and "legend" are relatively overlapping. Gu Cheng seemed to know clearly in his heart who could and couldn't cooperate, and he would never do such a stupid thing as supporting the enemy.

After thinking about everything, he said very simply: "Okay, so be it, if Shengda provides 2 million pre-development fees, we can promise that on July 1 this year, that is, before the second half of the year, we will never let other online games join this system." If your company gives 3 million, we can extend the period of this exclusive authorization until the end of December. You can see what you do.

Of course, the above promises are limited to the field of online games. If we use the system for customers in other fields, such as selling stand-alone games and audio and video products, those will have nothing to do with Shengda. ”

Luo Xianxian knows that 3 million is not much. Although it only costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop such a payment software, the promotion cost of installing the software on the computers of tens of thousands of Internet café owners across the country is very amazing.

Chen Tianqiao paid 3 million, which was nothing more than offsetting the offline marketing expenses of Legendary Entertainment for half a year. In the end, all the money fell into the pockets of the leased team to Gu Cheng's Ahri.

"We agree in principle with this model. Luo Xianxian weakly expressed her intentions, and then continued to negotiate the details with Pan Jieying.

Gu Cheng only needs to identify friends and foes in the strategic direction, and he doesn't need to talk about the details.

So he got up gracefully, left a sentence and left: "Okay, you guys talk slowly, I'm busy, go back and record the song first." ”

Luo Xianxian looked at Gu Cheng's back, and felt inexplicable in her heart: "Mr. Pan, Brother Ling is not your company's ...... Well, why are you still making music?"

Pan Jieying packed up the quotation and sighed lightly: "Ah Cheng will have a lot of things, and his heart is also big." Playing a game is estimated to account for less than one-third of his energy. ”

……

Gu Cheng returned to the recording studio, where Mr. Gao and several other assistants were drinking tea and resting. Seeing him come in, they were ready to start work.

Since he came back from Wanwan a few years ago, he has thought for a long time that he is too busy to be a musician. But since Chai Zhiping gave him the opportunity to sing "Love Has to Be" and "Meteor Shower" this time, he felt that it was better to add more songs, take advantage of the free time of the New Year to play a small disc, and keep it as a souvenir.

So he paid attention to the Qiantang music circle, and wanted to find a recording studio, but he happened to meet the musician Mr. Gao Dasong. At that time, the guy happened to be unable to stay in the capital because of the suicide of his ex-girlfriend, and returned to his hometown quietly. After resigning from his job as the "director of Sohu Entertainment Division" in Zhongguancun, he heard that "Dingdang.com, the latest domestic cutting-edge online independent music portal", was recruiting, so he came to play with Gu Cheng and see how much dry he had.

Then the two got to know each other and played music together. I haven't talked about changing jobs yet.

After Gu Cheng's disc is typed, it will definitely be sold, but there is no need to ask a third-party channel publisher, just put it directly on Dingdang. At that time, his "Alipay" should be almost built, and there are really like-minded people who can go to the Internet café to pay for online shopping and wait for mail.

How does Dangdang.com sell books now, and Gu Cheng will sell records for the time being.

After the introduction of Zhou Jielun's "JAY" album, there was not much publicity, and more than 30,000 copies were distributed in January. There are still a few thousand left that can't be sold for the time being, and Gu Cheng also hoarded them there with his own deposit to avoid default. After that, the popularity gradually rises, and it will definitely be sold out.

It's just that when selling Zhou Jielun's songs, Gu Cheng still talked to several offline channels in China, sharing more than half of their distribution benefits - at least for two years, Gu Cheng can't completely abandon offline sales channels.

At that time, most music albums in China were released with 10 to 12 songs. If it's too short, it won't be enough to make up the capacity of a tape, and with the atmosphere of "buying music by weight" in China at that time, it will definitely not be able to mix.

As for the small albums of 4~6 songs of Dongyi people and Fusang people, basically no one in China makes them. The "singles" played by Fuso talents are even more difficult to play in China -- what? You ask consumers to buy a disc for a song? Just kidding!

Even if Gu Cheng didn't care about the sales of the disc he kept as a souvenir, he didn't want to be too shocking, so he decided to make up 4 songs.

"Love is a Last Resort" and "Meteor Shower" account for two songs, both of which were written and composed by Chai Zhiping by others. Gu Cheng played music with Zhou Jielun and Fang Wenshan when he was in Wanwan, and took out Chen Yisen's "Exaggeration" in later generations, and the arrangement of that song was relatively simple. So a few days ago, Zhou Jielun helped Gu Cheng compile it and send it to him, and he recorded it in Qiantang.

The last song, there was really no material at that time, Gu Cheng pondered for two nights, and shamelessly used Zhou Chuanxiong's "Man Ocean" three years later.

However, with Gu Cheng's compulsion, how can he directly use it as it is. The reason why "Man Ocean" was chosen is also because this song is more in line with Gu Cheng's state of mind and can sing his spirits.

Gu Cheng has always felt that it is not enough for a song to be sound, the key is to be expressive, just like painting can't just be like.

According to the triple realm of "Zhang Seng has to paint meat, Lu Tanwei has to paint bones, and Gu Kaizhi has to paint gods", God is the key.

So even if the song is popular and popular in later generations, it can't be brought into its situation, Gu Cheng doesn't bother to turn it over.

In his previous life, he had never met a single love, but the woman slept a lot. Before he died, he was actually very lonely in his heart, and he longed for the feelings of normal people. But he knew that he had sinned a lot in the previous era and couldn't go back, so when he saw talented SOLO female artists worthy of appreciation, he would gently care for them and send them on the road to success, insisting on not tarnishing them and protecting them from being defiled by others.

Gu Cheng thought that he could figure out the deepest pulse of "Man Ocean", and fine-tune the lyrics and arrangements according to his own ideas, a little less pure male and female softness, and a little more "a thousand sails on the side of the sinking boat".

After brewing a good mood, Gu Cheng, the musicians, and the synthesis were in place, and ran twice more.

“…… Rolled up the attachment for so long, waved your hand to see you set sail, to the heaven you think I can't give.

Gentle men are like oceans, love is hidden when it is critical, and heartache gathers are open to the chest.

Be the moonlight that guards you from afar, don't be a wall that blocks you, my love is to break off my wings and give you to fly......"

At the end of the song, Mr. Gao Dasong personally made a cameo appearance as the tuner, checked the effect, and was very satisfied: "It's perfect." You kid doesn't want to be a musician, you don't have to do games there, it's a waste of talent. Remember to come and get the disc in a month, you can take these two proofs first, don't delay your TV series. ”

Gu Cheng smiled humbly, took over the proofing of the two songs "Love Must Be Done" and "Meteor Shower", and joked: "If you become a professional musician, you can't let you sing whatever you want for the sake of sales." It's still good to be an amateur, only sing what you like, and sing what you can substitute. ”

For music, film and television, Gu Cheng has always had only one criterion: it is okay to go out in person, but he will not "challenge" any role like those actors who advertise their professions.

He never wants to challenge himself, if he wants to play a role that is very similar to himself, or don't force himself. If you have to ask a handsome guy to bring in a dead fat man, it's completely unnecessary.

It's not its true colors, and it doesn't act. If the world wants to say that he is unprofessional, it is up to others, he is not professional in the first place.

No big deal.
