Chapter VII
Not long after Shen Lian reached an intentional cooperation with Xin Ping, he received a phone call.
"Hello, is it Mr. Shen Lian?" A voice like a silver bell came from the phone.
"It's me, who are you?" Shen Lian wondered.
"Hello, I am the manager of Orange Sky Entertainment, Zhang Ting. Call us to discuss with you if you have any plans to sign a contract with our company? Zhang Ting asked.
"Hmm, Orange Sky Entertainment?" Shen Lian was surprised and a little disbelieving. What's going on lately, why are the two major entertainment giants interested in signing me, and why did I become Tang Seng meat overnight? Shen Lian's heart was a little shocked
"Isn't it just with the song "This Life Will Not Change"?"
"Miss Zhang, let me tell you the truth, not long ago, Ms. Xin Ping from Huayi Brothers also came to me, and we have reached an intentional cooperation," Shen Lian said.
"Mr. Shen, I am now in Nanjing. I flew from BJ to Nanjing to negotiate with you, even if you don't give face, can you give me a chance to at least describe the prospects of our company's cooperation with you. Zhang Ting said hurriedly, this is the seedling she fancies, how can she be snatched by others? You must find a way to grab it, even if you give up some benefits.
"Okay, you go to Wanda's real pot and wait for me, I'll go over later." Shen Lian was also surprised by Orange Sky Entertainment's face, and he also wanted to see how good conditions Orange Sky Entertainment could give him.
"Okay, I'll wait for you there," Zhang Ting promised. After packing himself up and changing into a set of New Balance sportswear, Shen Lian ran out of the house and trotted all the way to Wanda Plaza.
"Shen Lian, this way, this way." As soon as she pushed open the door, a beautiful young woman greeted Shen Lian. After being stunned for a moment, Shen Lian walked in the direction of Zhang Ting.
"Hello, Mr. Shen." Zhang Ting stretched out her hand towards Shen Lian.
"Hello." Shen Lian didn't hesitate and directly held Zhang Ting's hand.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, we don't have much time to waste, if Mr. Shen doesn't mind, we'll get straight to the point." Zhang Ting said very directly.
"Okay, I think you also know that Huayi Brothers and I have been in contact for a long time, and we have already negotiated many contract terms. If nothing else, I'll be signing with BJ in the next year. Shen Lian confessed to Zhang Ting very bluntly.
"Mr. Shen, as far as I know, Tang Film and Television has invited you to join many times, but you have resolutely refused, don't mind if I ask the reason." Zhang Ting began to demonstrate her superb negotiation skills.
"First of all, the resources of the Tang people themselves are not strong enough, and at most they can only produce some popular TV series. Secondly, Tang people already have a strong target, if I need to face a lot of competition in the past, and my status as a student in school must not be able to cooperate with the company for a lot of time, there is no doubt that I will be in a weak position. Thirdly, the ability of the Tang Company to produce zuò music is not good, and my goal is to be an all-round artist. Shen Lian explained.
"It can be seen that you are very ambitious for your future, so you chose Huayi, which is the most competitive. But what I want to say is that what Huayi can give you, we can also give it to you, and what Huayi can't give you, we can also give you. Feng Xiaogang is from Huayi, and Tsui Hark also has a lot of cooperation with them, but you must know that there are more than two of them as big directors in China. We have reached cooperation agreements with great directors such as Chen Kexin and John Woo, and we will have a share of investment in their works in the future. As for music, we have reached a cooperation agreement with Universal Music, if you can sign with us, then they will send a professional production team to SH, and we have also purchased a unit to be your recording studio. Zhang Ting made a clause that Shen Lian could hardly refuse.
"This ,,,,,, the length of the contract...... Can it not be too long," Shen Lian hesitated.
"Sign a contract for ten years, the first five years are a dead contract, and the second five years can be terminated as long as you are willing to pay a liquidated damages." Zhang Ting said.
"To tell you the truth, I can't refuse the conditions you offered." Flipping through the contract, Shen Lian smiled bitterly. On key contract terms, Orange Sky has made a lot of concessions. Although the film and television salary, album commission and concert commission are no different from the general newcomer terms, but in the most important advertising income, Shen Lian can get 50% of the income after tax, which is very attractive to him.
"And what do you mean?" Zhang Ting smiled. "I hope we have a happy cooperation in the future." Shen Lian stood up and shook hands with Zhang Ting again.
"Then I'll draw up a contract tonight, and we'll sign it tomorrow." Zhang Ting said happily.
"Okay." After making a formal decision, Shen Lian took out his mobile phone and told Xin Ping what had just happened, and said that he had decided to sign a contract with Orange Sky Entertainment. And Xin Ping did not lose her grace and sent her blessings, hoping that Shen Lian would be good in the future, and there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future. The next day, Shen Lian officially signed his name on Zhang Ting's revised contract.
"Shen Lian, then in the next few years, I will become your manager, you can call me Tracy. In addition to me, the company will also provide you with assistants, drivers, and of course, if you are popular enough one day, we will match you with bodyguards. Zhang Ting said very solemnly.
"That day won't be too far away." Shen Lian was still very confident.
"As for your new album, we'll do it for you when you go to SH in February. As for the maker, we already have a candidate, who will be a master of the Chinese music scene. Zhang Ting sold Guan Zidao.
"Wait a minute." Shen Lian took out a copy of the Wen Jiàn folder from his bag. "I don't know if I've told you before, but I want all the tracks on the new album to be done by myself. This is a selection of songs that I have written in the past period, and I think it is very suitable for me to sing. You can take it back and give it a tryout to the maker. As for which songs to choose, I will also respect his opinion. ”
"You really want to take full responsibility yourself." Zhang Ting was surprised. "It seems that I really underestimated your ability to write songs, don't worry, I will hand over this text to Mr. Yao."
"Mr. Yao?" Shen Lian wondered.
"Oops, there's a bottom." Zhang Ting covered her mouth. "Don't worry about it so much, you won't know in half a month at most."
"I'm looking forward to this Mr. Yao more and more." Shen Lian said. That night, Shen Lian published a log of his official contract with Orange Sky Entertainment on his blog, which aroused the envy of Zheng Kai, Chen He, and Zhao Ji. And Orange Sky Entertainment also announced the signing of a contract with Shen Lian in an inconspicuous position on the homepage of the official website that night. In the following days, Shen Lian rehearsed every day for the 20 songs he gave to Zhang Ting, and these 20 songs were all very good songs carefully selected by Shen Lian for future generations. Ordinary singers will separate them in different albums even if they have this strength, but Shen Lian is different, he wants to publish these songs before the inspiration of other singers comes, plus he signed such a high-profile contract with Orange Sky Entertainment, he must get a beautiful and good fortune on his first work, so he included all these songs. They are "Elimination", "Princess", "Serious Snow", "Lying", "Back", "Incomplete Melody", "You Love Her So Much", "Promise", "Kiss Too Realistic", "The Girl I Used to Love", "Auditory Hallucination", "Gray Avatar", "No More Contact", "What's Wrong with Love", "What You Don't Know", "Heartbeat" and four English songs "WhatGoesAroundComesAround", "StayWithMe", " JustTheWayYouAre》。 Four English songs and even songs that will succeed on the Grammys in the future. Shen Lian also believes that songs of this level will definitely be able to impress the producers. And what Shen Lian has to do is to practice these songs flawlessly.
