Chapter 25 Negotiating
"That's right!" Ji Chengshan smiled all over his face, and then quickly frowned: "It's been an hour, why hasn't anyone arrived yet, is there a traffic jam on the road again?" ”
"There is this possibility, the traffic in Yanjing has become more and more congested in the past two years." Xia Bing chuckled.
Jiang Lin smiled, it seems that the Yanjing of this world is also going to embark on the trajectory of the original time and space, the Yanjing of the original time and space is due to traffic congestion, and later had to implement the measures of odd and even number travel, license plate lottery, but even so, it only played a soothing role, and could not completely improve the situation of traffic congestion.
In the small talk of several people, Li Man finally arrived, for singers, the real good songs often do not lie in the song itself, but in their own style, so Li Man, as a party, came to audition.
"I'm sorry Mr. Ji, I'm late, and there is a traffic jam on the road." Li Man panted and ran to Ji Chengshan, lowered his head, and said nervously, while the corner of his eye carefully looked at Jiang Lin and Xia Bing, his eyes glowing with curiosity.
Jiang Lin is also looking at the other party, this is a petite little girl, only about one meter six, sweet and cute, it is obviously quite good from the appearance alone, but I don't know if it is an illusion, I feel a little lacking in memory, similar to Jin Sha in the previous life, it is said that under the support of Hai Die, there is a fellow senior brother Lin Junjie with him, Jin Sha has also been popular for a few years, and there are many opportunities to show his face on TV, but he just can't outline the appearance of the other party in his mind.
"Hurry up and learn this song." Ji Chengshan didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed Li Man the score recorded by listening to Jiang Lin's singing before.
"Okay, Mr. Ji." Li Man nodded obediently and hurriedly took the score from Ji Chengshan's hand.
"Jiang Lin, I'll have to trouble you to sing it in front of Li Man later." Ji Chengshan turned his head and said to Jiang Lin with a smile on his face.
"Teacher Ji, you are too polite, what's the trouble here, I wish Miss Li Man would learn the song as soon as possible, the better she sings, the better, and the better she can sell, she can sell it at a good price." Jiang Lin chuckled.
Li Man looked at Jiang Lin in surprise, she was not stupid, and naturally understood that the big boy in front of her, who seemed to be no older than herself, was the creator of the song in her hand.
"Hurry up and watch the song." Ji Chengshan glared at her.
Li Man hurriedly looked down.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and Li Man finally entered the recording studio and stood in front of the microphone.
"If it weren't for her money, would you come to marry me, why do you have to go, can't stay with me, you are sincere to me, you can't resist the temptation of fame and fortune My boyfriend got married, but the bride is not me, no one feels sorry for me no matter how many tears there are"
Jiang Lin had a smile in his eyes, he really deserved to be a professional singer who was about to debut, and the speed of learning songs was fast, although due to the short time of learning, he was not very skilled in many places, and it seemed that he was much worse than the original singing, but he could already hear that the other party's voice was very suitable for singing "The Bride Is Not Me", and this was enough.
Li Man sang it three times in a row, and Ji Chengshan asked her to stop.
"It's time to talk about the price of this song, the songs of ordinary newcomer authors range from tens of thousands to 10,000 yuan, but Jiang Lin, you have a certain reputation now, and the quality of this song is also good, how about a 20,000 yuan buyout?" Ji Chengshan smiled and said, he admires Jiang Lin very much, at a young age, and without learning music theory, he can create two mature works such as "Loyal to the Country" and "The Bride Is Not Me", Jiang Lin's creative talent is simply amazing, you must know that the peak period of musicians' creation is in the age group of 20-40 years old, it is difficult not to look forward to what kind of works the other party can create in the future after systematically learning music theory, and what is even more rare is that the other party's voice and appearance conditions are also quite good, and there are some excellent singer-songwriters in China, However, there are very few of them with excellent appearance conditions.
It is precisely because of this that he will treat the other party very politely, but appreciation is appreciation, as the producer of Hanhai Music Company, he naturally has to put the interests of the company first.
Jiang Lin naturally knows the truth that shopping malls are like battlefields, and even more so the truth of opening prices and paying back the money on the ground, so he shook his head without thinking: "20,000 is too low, and I can't buy it all out, in this way, 50,000, in addition, I also want a reasonable share of royalties from traditional records and channels such as telecommunications and online new media." ”
Ji Chengshan's eyes widened, should he say that he is really a young man? He was also ready for Jiang Lin's counteroffer, but he didn't expect Jiang Lin to make a big offer, 50,000 yuan, and royalties from all channels, such a price condition is already the price of a well-known musician to create a good song.
"No, your price is too high, buy it out at a price of 25,000." Ji Chengshan shook his head.
"That's better forget it, anyway, I'm not short of money now, someone pays the tuition fee, someone gives the living expenses, I don't have to buy a house, I don't have to buy a car, I don't have to buy clothes and bags for my girlfriend, I don't have to buy milk powder diapers for my children, according to my usual living standards, the 90,000 yuan left over from the tax deduction for selling songs last time is enough for me for a long time." Jiang Lin said indifferently.
Ji Chengshan suddenly cried and laughed, but he had to admit that what Jiang Lin said was right, youth is the biggest capital, Jiang Lin at this stage can be said to have no pressure in life, in this case, don't talk about him, there is no way to change to anyone, if you want not to fall into the disadvantage in the negotiation, the best solution is naturally to break up and simply withdraw.
"Okay, you win, buy out your piece for 50,000 yuan." Ji Chengshan said helplessly, if there is a choice, of course he will drag it out, the problem is that he can't afford it, as Hanhai Records, which has always been known for its excellent music production and record quality, has successfully created Fengyun Brothers and Huang Xuan, two leaders in the popular music industry, but there is no first-line female singer who has taken a shot, in the past two years, Hanhai Records has been trying to launch an excellent female singer to fill the shortcomings of his company, and Li Man is one of the favored candidates within the company.
As soon as he heard Jiang Lin sing "The Bride Is Not Me", he felt that this song was very suitable for Li Man, and when he heard Li Man's singing later, he immediately made up his mind to buy the song.
"And royalties from various channels." Jiang Lin said with a smile, in normal times, his trick will naturally not work, but who makes today's Ji Chengshan and today's Li Man need such a high-quality song very much? The market and demand are the decisive factors in determining the price.
"That's impossible, in this way, your conditions are beyond the scope of my authority, I can decide for myself in terms of fees, and in terms of royalties, I need to ask the above for instructions." Ji Chengshan shook his head.
"Yes, I'm waiting for your good news, Mr. Ji." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
Ji Chengshan chuckled and shook his head and walked out of the recording studio, and after a few minutes, he returned to the recording studio and said directly: "Jiang Lin, it is impossible to meet all the conditions you want, at most new media channels." ”
"OK, deal." Jiang Lin smiled heartily, various record companies have not paid much attention to new media channels now, but he knows how rapidly the Internet is developing in China, and if the copyright protection is more powerful, this piece can bring him a steady stream of income in the future.
"By the way, Jiang Lin, are you interested in joining us Hanhai Records, with your talent and potential, and then you can get the strong promotion of our Hanhai Records, you will definitely get a good development." After negotiating the price, Ji Chengshan suddenly relaxed, and then warmly invited, a musician who does not need to invest too many resources in the record company is obviously what all record companies want, not to mention the possibility of developing towards singer-songwriters, the musician's own excellent creative ability is the key to the record company's star-making.
Xia Bing's face changed, Hanhai Records has its own independent artist management department, if Jiang Lin signs with Hanhai Records, then there is nothing to do with her.
"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for being able to afford it, but I don't have this idea for the time being, and you also know that I really can't be distracted at this stage, maybe I won't think about this aspect after the college entrance examination." Jiang Lin shook his head without the slightest consideration.
Xia Bing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Chengshan flashed a trace of disappointment in his eyes: "Yes, students, you should indeed focus on learning, what about my Jianyi, Jiang Lin, you might as well think about it more, Hanhai Records is definitely a platform that has the strength to boost your music career." ”
"Okay." Jiang Lin nodded noncommittally.
"Awesome, if anyone treats you like an ordinary high school student, they will definitely suffer a big loss." After signing the contract and walking out of the office floor of Hanhai Records, Xia Bing exclaimed.
"Thanks for the compliment." Jiang Lin smiled brightly, and said in his heart that it was because no one would have thought that this body that was not yet 18 years old had an adult soul of nearly 25 years old.
