Chapter 364: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"No, no, no! I don't have to listen to it at all, I'm afraid his song will pollute my ears! I know what you Sony mean right now! You must have taken a fancy to this kid's current fame in the United States, and you signed him, wanting to make a fortune with this enthusiasm, didn't you? You told me that the Chinese kid had a pretty good song, man, and I think you must have taken me for a layman! You think I don't understand songs, I don't understand the rules of the studio, do you? ”
"Then you're very wrong, man! I know all the inside scoops on your record label to get the rookie! Even if you can't sing, you can record a beautiful song for him in the studio! Am I right? ”
Thomson spoke loudly, a pair of small eyes staring at Swift, a kind of contempt that saw through the opponent's hole cards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Swift smiled bitterly: "Mr. Thomson, I think you must have misunderstood, Mr. Zheng Xiao is a very talented young man, you can see this through those videos of him singing on YouTube, I think, you must be biased against Chinese." ”
"Even if you're right, I'm really biased against those yellow-skinned monkeys, I think they definitely can't sing English songs, and I insist on that from beginning to end!" Thomson shouted in an almost roar.
"Mr. Thomson, you're racist, it's not good!" Swift's voice was also a little cold.
"Oh ha! You're right, so what? Thomson said with his hands spread out, and his fat flesh was trembling.
"Mr. Thomson, I would like to ask you, how would you agree to cooperate with us? I would like to see your conditions. Swift decided not to talk to this guy anymore, and he directly pulled the topic to the topic of negotiation.
At the end of the day, it's all about money.
Although Abigail said that Zheng Xiao's album and new song hit the radio as a promotional channel, Swift didn't believe it.
He was convinced that it was Abigail, the old fox, who was playing tricks on himself.
For a radio station as important as NYPR, Abigail must have done it with PR costs, there is no doubt about that.
Thomson listened to Swift's words, "haha", laughed for a while, and then said, "Mr. Swift, you are a man who understands!" It's not impossible for that Chinese kid's song to be broadcast on NYPR, and our conditions are very simple, broadcast once, you need to pay for it once, and the advertising cost for each broadcast is, I'll do the math! Wait a minute. ”
Thomson made a calculating gesture, and after a while, he continued: "It's calculated, Zheng Xiao's song is broadcast once a day in the morning, noon and evening, each time it costs five thousand dollars, and it costs fifteen thousand dollars a day for advertising, if you plan to broadcast it for a month, it is-"
Before Thomson could finish speaking, Swift said, "Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, huh?" ”
"That's right! That's right, it's $450,000! If his song is bad and hard to listen to, we still have the right to tear up our cooperation agreement! Even if we were given a million dollars a month, we might not be able to broadcast his songs! Thomson laughed.
Swift was speechless.
The other party's typical is that the lion has opened his mouth.
He didn't have a win-win attitude at all, he just wanted to squeeze more money as much as he could.
Throwing $450,000 to NYPR a month, just to play the channel of Zheng Xiao's new album, only a fool would do this, right?
There are fifty or sixty authoritative radio stations in the United States, and each of them gives so much money, so how much money does it have to give?
Swift knows that the other party has no sincerity to cooperate at all!
Forget it!
Since you don't want to cooperate at all, why should you force them? Perhaps, I should think that they should beg for themselves!
Thinking of this, Swift got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Thomson, it seems that our negotiations are not pleasant, and it is difficult for our cooperation to succeed. In that case, there is no point in me staying here. So, I'll take my leave. ”
"Mr. Swift, please! What I need to tell you is: it is very unwise for you to sign that Chinese kid, you are destined to lose your underwear! Hahaha! I don't send it. Thomson laughed.
Swift held his breath and came out of Thomson's office.
When he came to the street, he thought, he must think of something to make this old boy look good!
Swift thought and thought for a while, and suddenly heard Celine Dion's singing sound next to him.
When he looked up, it turned out to be a café.
Swift's eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
He went to the café and talked to the waiter at the door: "Hey! My brother, this song is very good! ”
"Yes, a classic song, beauty-and-the-beast, my favorite!"
At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, there were few customers in the café, and the waiter had nothing to do, so he began to talk to Swift.
"I would like to ask, do NYPR people come to you often?" Swift asked the waiter.
"That's right, Mr. Guy and Mr. Snow come and sit for a while almost every day, and they have a meal with us." The waiter said.
Guy is the CEO of NYPR, and Snow is a well-known broadcast host of NYPR.
Snow's music review program "Music Cafe" is a well-known program that has been listened to by a large number of people.
When Swift heard the waiter say this, he knew what he was going to do next.
"Man, I'm Swift from Sony Records, I have an English album of the amazing Chinese kid Zheng Xiao here, the songs in this album are very good, do you want to play it and try the effect?" Swift said.
"Zheng Xiao?"
"The one who dances on horseback," Swift gestured to spur his horse.
The waiter immediately came to his senses, laughed and said, "Zheng Xiao, it turned out to be Zheng Xiao!" I know him, this is a magical Chinese, he is very powerful! Not only is he a great horse dancer, but he also has a very amazing talent for imitation and ventriloquism, and the first time I watched his video, I was so excited, I have never seen such an amazing skill! I like that kid, I think he's funny! ”
"That's right! It's that Zheng Xiao, he sings very well, isn't he? ”
"That's right! I already think so, he sings great! He has a very good voice, and his video imitating Michael's singing really shocked me, singing as wonderful as Michael, his voice is similar to Michael, and even the expression on his face is almost exactly the same! I also heard him sing Chinese songs, and although I couldn't understand them, I thought it was great! He not only sings men's songs, he also sings women's songs, and they are all very good, he is a geek! The waiter gave Zheng Xiao a high evaluation.
