"Are you referring to the cost of the show?" Li Xiaoni thought that the serious issue that Lin Zaishan talked about was the issue of salary, and said: "If you mix up the money, let's hand it over to the brokerage team to deal with it, and we will not mix money into the feelings, nor will we mix feelings into the money." I heard from my agent that the offer given to us by "Extreme World" was a very sincere offer - 6 million appearance fee, and an additional 2 million bonus for each round of competition. ”

Li Xiaoni introduced Lin Zaishan: "This show is very popular because of the first season, and the second season is said to be longer, with 9 competitions, and finally 18 to 20 episodes of the show." No matter how much they broadcast, and no matter whether they can win the championship in the end, as long as we can go to the end, we will have at least 24 million performance fees. Of course, this offer is the package price for me and the company's rookie boy group idols. According to the normal proportion, my remuneration will account for 8 to 9 percent. If we team up with you, our share ratio will definitely be adjusted accordingly. ”

Li Xiaoni imagined: "Your popularity next year will be much higher than that of the rookie boy group idol, and being able to invite you over is an important guarantee for their show." The highlights of the two of us will be greater, and we can negotiate the price increase appropriately. In my experience, we can go up at least 25% of the cost of the show. As long as you can go to the end, there will not be much of a problem in getting 30 million. If you want to win the championship, you have to get more money. Brother, you are going to participate in this show, which will be of great benefit to your company's income supplement. ”

Lin Zaishan smiled: "I don't mean this when I say serious questions. Why are you revealing your trade secrets to me? ”

"What's so unseemly about this, if you really sign it in the end, these offers will be gossiped out. If the two of us can get an appearance fee of 30 million, then this is the package price of the double top star, and each person will get an appearance fee of 15 million, which will not disgrace your identity and mine. Of course, this is the price that goes to the end. If we participate in two or three stops and are eliminated, then we will lose a little. But believe in our strength and popularity. At least five or six races, right? It is impossible for the program team to eliminate us too soon. If my company's team finally talks about this work, then our packaging fee sharing ratio will definitely not be 55 points. I'll try to help you talk about it as much as possible, and try to get you 3 to 4 percent of the performance fee. ”

Li Xiaoni emphasized: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not lowering my price to fight for your interests, the more you get the share of the performance fee, the more money we will really get in the end." No matter how much money you divide, it's all with your own company. But my money is split fifty-fifty with Guoyu. To put it bluntly, the less money I take, the less money we will be trapped. So I'm definitely going to make the maximum concessions for you to take more. ”

"The brokerage contract you signed with Guoyu is fifty-fifty?"

"Yes. My income from variety shows and advertising endorsements is fifty-fifty with the company, and I can get more than I can get from the record share, but now in this market, the income from pure records is actually very small, and the income from selling records is not enough to stuff my teeth. Doing two concerts is more than selling a record for a year. ”

"I understand this, but as a big diva, why are you also sharing advertising endorsements with the company? Your brokerage contract is too harsh, isn't it? ”

"My brokerage contract is the best in Guoyu. In Guoyu, there is no artist who has better conditions than me. I had a brokerage contract, you need to know how much you are being sucked out of blood. You have to smash the national entertainment. But that's the way it is, their name as the number one vampire in the industry isn't for nothing. If you want to use their resources, you have to be sucked by their blood. When this new five-year contract is fulfilled, your company is ready to go. I'm going to jump ship to find you, and I'm not going to be sucked by them. Over the years, they have sucked more than 10 billion blood, and I have really been sucked enough. ”

"Are you showing off your wealth to me?" Lin Zaishan smiled helplessly.

"Brother, you're not someone who hasn't seen money. What a flaunt of wealth? You and I were really showing off your wealth back then! Hit me with money every day. Li Xiaoni subconsciously complained, followed by a leisurely sigh.

Thinking about the money Lin Zaishan earned at the beginning. To put it today, there are hundreds of millions of purchasing power, Li Xiaoni has worked hard for 12 years, and the degree of wealth is about the same as Lin Zaishan back then. At that time, the music scene was really full of gold. It's a pity that the good times are gone.

The real money that Li Xiaoni spent in her life is estimated to be less than what Lin Zaishan spent in the past two or three years. So she herself felt that in front of Lin Zaishan, she was not a rich person.

"Don't mention the past."

"Hmm." Li Xiaoni turned back to the topic: "Then we can settle this matter, I will ask my agent to contact the starfish station first, and when your popularity is a little hotter, we will release this big satellite." ”

Li Xiaoni reminded one more sentence: "During this time, you must not let Dongfang TV hype you up again, you can't do anything else." Otherwise, this new show is not easy to talk about. ”

"I understand, but even if Dongfang TV doesn't hype me, other media will hack me. You should know very well what virtue the media circle is. They won't let go of someone like me who can attract people's attention as long as it's dark, so you better seep a little bit about this matter first, and don't expose yourself to competing with me with your team first. Let's look at it for a while in the future, and when the time is ripe, let's attack again. ”

"I understand."

"There is another point you have to consider, the show "Extreme World" is a purely competitive program, I am an 'old' singer, even if "Singer-Songwriter" makes me popular, I only have a certain popularity in the music world. I participated in "Extreme World", whether it can really bring highlights to their program, I personally have doubts, and their program team will definitely consider it. And I may also give them a show to recruit black, which is a matter for them to weigh. ”

Lin Zaishan said very seriously: "In your eyes, I am very important, but in their eyes, including in the eyes of your economic team, my topic may not be as big as a rookie idol." In this regard, you must respect the opinions of your own team and not be willful. Since your team wants to give you this job and let you make a variety show debut in the real sense of the word on this show, they must have taken into account that this show will help and promote your image transformation, so you don't just refuse. This show is actually quite important to you. But for me, being on this show is more than just making money. It didn't have much significance for my development in the music industry. Of course, there will definitely be a boost in popularity. But going to this kind of show with you, the national goddess, has so much interaction, I estimate that many passers-by will turn black to me after watching it, and even turn black. ”

"Brother, don't joke with me, you're not afraid of this. As long as you have a degree of topicality, for this kind of variety show, there is a guarantee of ratings. There is a big reason why "Singer-Songwriter" can be so popular now is because of your existence. And not just because of your music. The topic discussion nature of your body has also made this show to a higher level, or their program team will play with their lives to hype up your black spots.

"It's the same if you're going to be on another show, although your topic may drop, as long as there is a topic, you can help the show get ratings. Although "Extreme World" is a competitive program, not all the stars participating are athletes, and all kinds of artists participate. Do as you say. What does their profession contribute to the show? Not at all. It mainly depends on whether your artistry and audience popularity are good enough. ”

Li Xiaoni said: "As long as you shine on "Singer-Songwriter", Haixingtai will definitely want to poach you." If the two of us can form a team to form the 'strongest voice in the music world' to compete, they may set up more music-related levels in the competition to explore more selling points of the two of us." For example, let us sing on the street and so on. So you can still sing on the show, and you can still sing with me. I believe that as long as you open your mouth to sing, there will definitely be many more audiences who will become fans of you than those who will turn black. Maybe people see us so compatible. And bless us. ”

"You're so capable. Kinky! If we really form a team to compete, we will inevitably be scolded! Do you still think that people can bless us? What a joke. ”

"If you are scolded, you will be scolded, and one day we will make it public. It would be more acceptable for everyone to see the two of us together earlier than to suddenly release a bomb out. ”

"That's true."

Lin Zaishan returned to the topic: "The serious question I just wanted to tell you is actually a problem in this regard. You said that only you and I know the relationship between the two of us, and no one else knows, so we took the liberty of teaming up to participate in the competition, how can we interact on the show? In the eyes of outsiders, the two of us are not even friends, and they are very familiar on the show, which makes people look weird, right? ”

"There's really no way, at the beginning of the competition, we could only act, so we were new friends who weren't very familiar with each other. But after participating in one or two races, the two of us can become familiar, and people don't think it's strange to watch. Li Xiaonizhuo said confidently: "I am a very enthusiastic image, and I am not afraid to make friends with you, which will definitely greatly improve my proximity to the people." ”

"Making friends with 'bad guys', is this considered close to the people?"

"Don't be ashamed of yourself, you have to be firm in your faith - you are not a bad person, you are a prodigal son. If even I can accept you on the show, the audience will definitely accept you quickly. ”

"I hope so. But I'm afraid we won't be able to play this scene. Anyway, I don't have any acting cells, and I don't think you're particularly good at acting. I didn't mean to ridicule you, but you acted in a short drama before, and the word of mouth was bad, and people said you couldn't act. ”

Li Xiaoni was not angry, and said with a smile: "I didn't act well, the company wanted me to get involved in the drama circle at that time, let me act to make money, but I was really not interested in acting." I'm playing diva plays every day, I'm already very tired, I don't want to delve into other plays anymore, I just want to sing good songs. I don't want to make my career so complicated. In fact, if you have watched the story-based MVs I played, you will find that my acting skills are still good, hehe. ”

Li Xiaoni praised herself and "praised" Lin Zaishan again: "Brother, your acting skills are actually very good, you were stunned for lying to me ten years ago." Ten years later, they met again, and they still pretended not to know me in front of me. If I hadn't heard you say those things from Old Man Lin, I would have been deceived by you. ”

Lin Zaishan said embarrassedly: "I'm acting hard, full of flaws and I don't know it." If I really acted in front of the camera, I wouldn't have acted at all. Look at the little film I made on "Singer-Songwriter", how embarrassing. ”

"Haha, that little film really exposed your embarrassing acting skills."

"Yes, it's okay for you to let me sing in front of the camera, give me the script and let me act, I'm really not good. Especially if you participate in this kind of competitive reality show, you see that you are injured or in danger. I'm in a hurry, and I'm likely to be exposed. ”

"Dew will dew, anyway, I'm not afraid, if it really dews, it will be providence."

"You don't have a providence for everything, we have to be responsible for ourselves."

Li Xiaoni couldn't help but sigh when she saw Lin Zaishan looking forward and backward like this.

Sometimes she really wished that Lin Zaishan would just be like when he was younger, just don't care about rushing forward and not caring about anything.

But if you think about it carefully, Lin Zaishan now has a home and children. is also an old age, if he still does things without thinking about anything like when he was young, then he will really live in vain all these years.

Fortunately, this brother is very powerful when he should be powerful.

He thinks about it before he does something, and it's not a bad thing.

Li Xiaoni patiently said to Lin Zaishan: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this, the team of National Entertainment is not a dry meal, they take away so much money from artists, and they will help deal with all kinds of problems." Whatever happens, I'm sure they'll be able to handle it. I still have a lot of confidence in the team of Guoyu. Participate in such a show. Before the start of recording, whether it is my team or the program team, they will help us set up and guide us in some identities. When the time comes, we will just act according to the identity they arranged.

"You're already embarrassed in front of the camera, you don't even have to talk. There is no need to act, our relationship will be very awkward to watch, just like a new friend. When the time comes, I'll hook you to sing, and you just have to sing and relax. On this show. If you improvise a few songs to sing, it will definitely surprise the audience. Your improvisation of Caidie this afternoon shocked those insiders. Not to mention the general audience. You have to perform well in this show, and it will also be very helpful for your singing career. ”

"How do you know I'm singing in the afternoon?" Lin Zaishan frowned and smiled.

"It was Guan Yaling who called me and asked me if I would listen to your singing, of course I wanted to listen. Since then, she hasn't turned off her phone and is helping me do your live broadcast. ”

"I see, I said how did she take her phone to the piano room to charge it, it turned out that she was helping you do a live broadcast." Lin Zaishan thought about it and smiled.

When the two communicated before, Lin Zaishan already knew that Guan Yaling was Li Xiaoni's cousin, and knew that Guan Yaling knew about the relationship between him and Li Xiaoni, but did not know the current relationship.

Li Xiaoni smiled solemnly: "That stupid sister, I was completely shocked by your performance in the afternoon. I also listened to your creative lectures throughout the whole process, and I benefited a lot! Brother, I have to say, your performance in the afternoon is really strong! I was dancing on the phone. If you have such an improvised singing ability, if you want to perform on a general variety show, you must be super fans! This is a big guarantee for the ratings of the program. You have to be able to perform well on "Extreme World", and your variety show appointments won't stop in the future, and many programs will pay a lot of money to poach you to sing on their shows. ”

Lin Zaishan joked: "Then won't I become a variety show?" ”

"Brother, you don't know how bad the market environment in the music industry is now, which singer doesn't go to the variety show circle to make money and boost his popularity. The most important thing for you now is to earn enough money and popularity, and then when your Beyond company is gradually on the right track and forms a scale in the future, you can do whatever you like. Don't you want to create the best living environment for pigeons, and are you afraid of being treated as a variety show? ”

"I'm joking with you, I'm not afraid of being treated as a variety show."

"I guess you won't be afraid of this, now you have seen a lot of things, and you are not as stubborn as before. The pigeon has changed you so much. ”

Lin Zaishan smiled with relief, and wanted to ask Li Xiaoni, have you ever considered being a stepmother of pigeons? But he felt too presumptuous, he didn't ask, but asked: "Which of the songs I sang in the afternoon, which one do you like the most?" ”

"It's got to be The Onion! Listening to this song, I feel sad. Fortunately, I've already peeled you off, and I'll have to wait a few years to listen to it, and I guess I can hear the heartbreak directly when I listen to this song. ”

Lin Zaishan knew that Li Xiaoni had misunderstood again, and told the truth: "What I wrote is not myself, what I wrote is just an emotional state in my imagination." ”

"Well, I believe you."

Li Xiaoni smiled softly, her eyes flashed with sweet cunning, and praised: "If you want to say that your ability to make up stories is really strong enough, your ability to turn stories into music is even stronger." I really didn't realize that your mind is so open and sharp. ”

Lin Zaishan smiled introvertedly. It's not good to boast or be humble, he has a whole world of musical wealth in his head, and his thinking and focus must be many times sharper than ordinary people.

Especially in music, he has the crystallization of countless musicians in another face, and his talent is comparable to ordinary people.

This is his true "talent" -- a piece of music that God has given him. This is a level higher than the talent of all musicians in this plane.

"When it comes to the proposition of fish, you told a story about a mermaid and a statue, I am very interested, can you do it to me now?" After finishing the business, Li Xiaoni began to look forward to Lin Zaishan's work.

"Are you relating this story to the two of us again?"

"Hee-hee."

"I can't say anything about you. A lot of the works I write are stories that come out of the spur of the moment and then make up based on the inspiration, not based on my own experience. ”

"Brother, don't explain. If you don't have such feelings in your heart or subconscious, how can you make up such a story? Don't tell me that it was inspired by watching movies. ”

"Okay, I'll admit it all, as long as you're happy."

Lin Zaishan doesn't raise the bar with Li Xiaoni anymore, for a woman who is in love. It doesn't make sense for you to explain anything to her.

"Brother, let the inspiration come to you again and make the song of the mermaid and the statue. I'm going to work soon, I'll listen to you sing a song before I go. I'm going to work with happiness. ”

Lin Zaishan smiled helplessly. said: "I'm really tired now, I may not be able to do this song well, I'll sing you this story when you and I come back, and then sing you a story that makes you really feel happy." ”

"Oh well. You have to pay attention to rest. Li Xiaoni sighed softly with a look of understanding and regret.

Lin Zaishan stretched out his hand and hugged the old guitar next to the workbench into his arms: "I'll sing you another song." ”

"What song? Is it also about our songs? ”

"Look what you think. This song is about fish. It's called "We Still Have Fish Here", which is a song I wrote after the earthquake in Red Square the year before last. At that time, I saw on TV that so many people had lost their loved ones and were homeless, and many people had lost hope in life and chose suicide as a way out. I feel very uncomfortable. I had a melody in my head, and I wrote the lyrics to it. If you listen to what I told you in the afternoon, you should know that when I write the lyrics for the melody, the words are relatively hazy and there is no specific story. This song is a representation. ”

Li Xiaoni asked attentively: "Is your song a warm and inspirational work after the disaster?" ”

"Well, this song has never been published, and it doesn't really have any encouraging or comforting effect on others. But it's an inspirational comfort to myself. The fish in this song is actually hope. We should never lose faith in life. I'm singing it to you now, and you're the first listener to this song. I hope you don't always think about the sky falling or whatever. Even if the sky really collapses, we can find a pond, build a bungalow, forget all those sorrows, and still live a life with fish. The world will never abandon us, as long as we don't abandon ourselves. ”

"Brother, thank you for coming back to me. It's really warm to have your life. Before she heard the song, Li Xiaoni's heart became hot first.

Lin Zaishan smiled warmly. Li Xiaoni brought not only warmth to his life, but also hope.

Plucked the strings, Lin Zaishan heartily presented this song "We Still Have Fish Here" to Li Xiaoni -

……

I thought winter was the most beautiful season~

There are you and fish in the water by the cold stream~

A pair is very comfortable~

A pair of people love each other very much~

It makes people think of the future~

……

Are you also looking for it with me~

That kind of fish can only be seen by happy people~

Who embraces with love~

It's just swimming around~

Accompany you until you are old~

……

I know how much sorrow you have to bear these days~

to face the broken dream~

I believe so much care~

There will always be hope~

Don't forget that we still have fish here~

……

There are no wind and waves here~

It won't shake ~ no longer panic ~ When the night passes~

There will always be sunshine~

……

I'll find a pond for you~

Build a bungalow ~ forget the grief ~ Give yourself a place where there are fish~

……

Lin Zaishan used this song to build a house with fish in Li Xiaoni's heart, which swept away a lot of haze in Li Xiaoni's heart and warmed Li Xiaoni's heart.

Li Xiaoni can't wait to return to the East China Sea and melt her body and mind into the arms of this warm and hard man.

Three days later.

The direct flight from London to Donghai arrived at Donghai International Airport at 8:30 p.m. on time.

Put all the work aside first.

As soon as she returned to the villa, Li Xiaoni called Lin Zaishan as soon as possible, hoping that Lin Zaishan would fly to find her. (To be continued.) )
