"Jiang Lin, there has been a call from a publishing house, and they want to publish your "Star Change", do you want to agree?" Xia Bing's voice rang on the phone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How much are the royalties?" Jiang Lin said in a casual tone, as if he was not surprised at all.
"The highest one is 12%, the publishing house must know that I am your agent, and your current popularity is there, so the royalties offered are not low." Xia Bing said with a smile.
"Normal, no treacherous business, if it is not profitable, it is more difficult to take money out of their pockets than to ascend to the sky." Jiang Lin chuckled.
"Do you want to say yes?" Xia Bing asked with concern, 12% royalty, this royalty is not low, if you are an ordinary newcomer author, you will celebrate if you get 8% royalty.
"Promise, why not." Jiang Lin smiled brightly: "But you can't set the royalties to death, there can be a variety of ways, such as how much a single copy sells, royalty increases, such as every few copies, re-agree on royalties, the total number of words in "Star Change" is about 3 million words, according to 250,000 words per book, there are also 12 copies, how many are the first four, how many are the first six, how to determine the royalties, Sister Bing, you can do it yourself, there is only one purpose, to maximize benefits." ”
"Understood." Xia Bing said excitedly that during this time, she has not only been paying attention to the popularity of "Star Change" in China, but also reading it herself, knowing how popular and attractive "Star Change" is at present, and she is naturally full of expectations for the publication of "Star Change".
Jiang Lin didn't know how many physical sales of "Star Change" in the original time and space, only that it was definitely not as good as the sales of "Zhu Xian", but time and space changed, and under the action of various factors, he was full of confidence in "Star Change", and some were just looking forward to it.
Xia Bing is in charge of the publication of "Star Change", Jiang Lin doesn't feel worried at all, and he doesn't have the time to worry about it, except for the necessary screenwriting courses and the revision and upload of "Star Change", he is now concentrating on acting learning, I have to say that the teaching method of the Lotovsky acting school is really hard enough, and he is tired to death from studying and training every day.
Despite this, he has never been lazy, as long as he thinks that he can shine on the big screen like Stephen Chow and Chow Yun-fat, he is suddenly full of motivation.
When Jiang Lin was in pain and happy, the news that "Star Change" was about to be published and listed spread far and wide, and then the information released by Xingyu Culture Media and Taibai Publishing House made Jiang Lin's identity as the author of "Star Change" settle, shaking the entire online literature circle.
In the single chapter, Jiang Lin first apologized for concealing his identity, then thanked readers for their support, and finally called on readers to actively buy the physical book of "Star Change" to make themselves more motivated to write.
With the release of Jiang Lin's single chapter, the result is that the book review area of "The Stars Change" has become unprecedentedly boiling, and the voices of love and support have occupied the absolute mainstream.
.....
On December 14th, another weekend, the floor where Hanhai Records is located today is particularly lively, but the lively atmosphere does not come from its own employees, but hundreds of young girls, they come from all over the world, tall, short, fat and thin, age and personality, and so on, but all young girls come to Hanhai Records today with one goal.
In fact, from the moment Jiang Lin announced that he would pass the selection of signed singers and artists, it was destined to become extraordinary on December 14th, and the girls who thought they had musical talent and had not signed a record company hoped that they would become the next Li Man, and the female singers who had signed a record company but had not yet debuted or had unsatisfactory development wanted to know who was so lucky to get Jiang Lin's favor, and a number of famous singers and their record companies had to feel worried, for fear that another Li Man would share the cake.
With such a special significance, the scene is naturally indispensable to the presence of media reporters who came to join in the fun, just like Yan Ying's art exam, using the camera to pursue those girls with excellent appearance conditions.
The place waiting in line is lively, one of the recording studios of Hanhai Records is also lively, for today's selection, not only Jiang Lin attaches great importance to it, Hanhai Records is also quite concerned, no record company will think that its talent reserves are too much, thanks to Jiang Lin's appeal today, those girls who came to participate in the selection, their level must be quite high, and they may not know what kind of harvest they will have.
"Do you think the people who will be selected will be music school students, bar singers, music teachers, music lovers?" Ji Chengshan rao interesting taste.
"I think it's a resident singer, isn't Jiang Lin the singer who wants to sign a contract to sing the most? Resident singers with more experience have a clear advantage. Lu Hengan smiled.
"I also think that resident singers are more likely, but anything can happen, like music teachers, there are many who have both experience and good singing skills." Yu Weijie said.
"That's right, anything is possible, the key depends on Jiang Lin's own choice." Li Man, who came to help, said with a smile.
"Jiang Lin, what do you think of yourself?" Ji Chengshan looked at Jiang Lin.
"I don't know, Li Man is right, everything is possible, I will follow my heart's will to choose." Jiang Lin smiled, how many singers he signed, tall, short, fat and thin, age, beautiful and ugly personality, he hadn't thought about these, he didn't have that time or that need, based on the difficulty of finding good songs, the most important consideration for the record company is the market prospects, but he is not, all he needs is someone who can amaze him.
In the small talk, time passed quickly, and when the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, the selection officially began, not all the people in line could stand in front of Jiang Lin and sing, the girls had to go through Ji Chengshan's primary selection, and only through the primary selection could they go to the recording studio and accept Jiang Lin's selection.
Due to the large number of people, each person only has no more than one minute of singing time during the primary selection, and the girls have to show their best side in the shortest possible time, either their appearance conditions, or their singing skills, or their timbre, in order to catch Ji Chengshan's attention.
The selection process for the primary selection went quickly, and after a while, a girl stepped into the studio with her outstanding singing skills.
"Tell us a little bit about yourself!" Jiang Lin looked at the first girl who passed the primary selection, this was a petite and ordinary-looking girl, judging from her appearance alone, there was nothing special about it.
Perhaps it was the relationship between the first to enter the recording studio, and the tension between the girl's expression and demeanor was unobstructed, and her voice trembled slightly: "Hello Teacher Jiang, hello teachers, my name is Qi Chen, 23 years old this year, graduated from Xi'an Conservatory of Music, and is currently a bar singer." ”
"Don't be nervous, relax, and sing a song you do best." Jiang Lin smiled and encouraged.
"Okay." Qi Chen nodded.
Xi'an Conservatory of Music is one of the top art colleges in China, Qi Chen is obviously not mixed, her singing skills are quite solid, and under her full singing, the song "I love you very much" is quite good.
Jiang Lin shook his head, good is good, Qi Chen's timbre is too mediocre, and he didn't let his emotions be infected, no wonder he didn't sign a record company, he could only be a bar singer.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and a group of nineteen people entered the recording studio to sing, and five of them got the opportunity to sing more than two songs, not only singing lyrical songs, but also singing rock and roll songs, fast songs and dances, but without exception they were finally eliminated.
There are too many people in this world who can sing songs well, but on the basis of good sound, there are very few that have both distinctive personal characteristics and emotional appeal.
The five people who got the opportunity to sing the second and third songs undoubtedly all met these two points, but the five people had other problems, one was similar to Huang Qishan, the timbre was not pleasant enough, and it was easy to hear tired, of course, it was similar in terms of shortcomings, Huang Qishan's ultra-wide vocal range spanning four octaves, diverse, pure singing skills and wholehearted emotional devotion made her shocking soul and singing to her heart, like the top level of female singers in the Chinese music scene in the original time and space.
The two are similar to Sun Nan, relying too much on their own sound quality and singing skills, and they are obviously lacking in the heartfelt part, however, they also rely on their naturally good voice and singing skills, which is not the same level, and Lao Sun's voice is no one in the Chinese music scene in the original time and space, and his singing skills are even more breathtaking.
One person is similar to Xu Haixing, a "Myself" and other songs are like they are not sung by one person, if Xu Haixing can reach the level of "Himself" in the singing of each song, she can undoubtedly occupy her own place in the Chinese music scene, but aside from "Himself", Xu Haixing's singing is a little mediocre, but objectively, Xu Haixing's timbre and singing skills are still stronger than many idol female singers, but it is a pity that Xu Haixing does not have excellent appearance conditions, how difficult it is to become popular.
One person is similar to Mao Amin and Man Wenjun, his singing style is slightly outdated, his appearance conditions are lackluster, and his singing is good, but in the 21st century, it is difficult to be widely liked by young people, and his commercial value is really limited.
Seeing such a result, Jiang Lin couldn't help but get anxious, wondering if he was too picky, in fact, with the level of the three of them, as long as he did whatever it takes, he could become popular to a certain extent, but then he quickly vetoed such an idea, what are you kidding, you have to sweat a lot to get the song exchange reward, if you give it to one person casually, you will be too sorry for your hard work.
Thinking like this, Jiang Lin suddenly felt ruthless in his heart, if he didn't find something he was satisfied with, then he would rather not sign one than perfunctory against his will, but to satisfy himself, either move himself, or surprise himself in some way, otherwise he could only say sorry.
With such determination, in the next selection process, Jiang Lin's heart was like water, and the ancient well was silent, waiting for the voice that moved or amazed him. (To be continued.) )
