Chapter 246, Who Are You Talking About?!
The stars in the quiet night sky, the distant light is sometimes bright and sometimes faint, like the moonlight of water, the city of angels is still so warm and quiet.
Dragging his tired body back to the rental house, Li Zaiting made a phone call to Jin's mother upstairs to say goodbye tonight, and then lay on the bed weakly.
From going out last night, to a shootout in a coffee shop, to the arrival of the police and then being sent to the hospital for treatment, after recording the confession, I hurriedly contacted the lawyer and rushed to the court, and in the afternoon I rushed to Company A
After a busy day and a night, as soon as he got into bed, Li Zaiting breathed a deep sigh of relief, he didn't want to move, and he didn't want to pay attention to anything.
After many people have money, they like to enjoy what they see, buy what they see, whether it is useful or not, the feeling of itchy hands is always unbearable, and they are drunk and obsessed with money, and gradually sink into it, and finally can't extricate themselves
As for whether he will become like this, Lee Jae-ting is very self-aware, and now is not the time to enjoy it.
Although he got the shares of Company A and the $30 million in the VIP card of the Bank of America today, this money is inconspicuous in the eyes of the really rich, and Li Zaiting does not plan to live in the Hilton Hotel, he plans to save the money and keep it for other things.
Buying a house?!
Buying a car?!
Investment... Small movie?!
Unconsciously, confused thoughts drifted in his mind, and after a while, Li Zaiting, who was fighting with his eyelids, gradually fell asleep
"Jingle Bells"
Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and not long after Li Zaiting closed his eyes, the mobile phone on the bedside suddenly rang.
Yes, even God can't get along with Lao Tzu today
Secretly scolded, Li Zaiting reluctantly opened his eyes, reached out and took the phone, all day long, he felt that he was stuffed with cold water.
"Is it Mr. Charles, I'm R.R., maybe you've heard of me" As soon as the phone was connected, a slightly magnetic male voice came out.
r.r?!
Dr. R?!
Hearing this name, Li Zaiting blinked, and he was confused for a long time, and then slowly "dǐng" diǎn "小" said, .☆.↙os_ (); Come back to God
Life is like chocolate, no one knows what the next one will taste like
The next morning, Lee Zaiting hung his arms and walked into the AP company again unhurriedly.
Then, under the slightly curious gaze of the beautiful secretary, Lee Jae-ting walked into the general manager's office with a calm demeanor and met the boss of the AR company: Andre? Romir? Yang, that is, the founder and leader of the ruffian rap on the West Coast of the United States, the winner of the triple platinum record, and the dǐng-level music producer in the European and American music scene, R.R.
"Oh, boy, did you get beaten up by your girlfriend?!" As soon as they met, R.R glanced at Li Zaiting's hanging arm, and gave a slightly ridiculous look very heartily, and waved his hand to the sofa next to him with a smile as he spoke.
"Almost, that chick named Lisa likes me too much and doesn't want me to leave." Facing the self-cooked R.R., Lee Jae-jeong chuckled and shrugged his shoulders and made a joke, and immediately collected the excitement of seeing the P-OP ancestor at first, and sat down on the sofa with him.
Perhaps innately, in addition to having a special nagging mouth, many black people in the United States will basically have a self-familiar character, and no matter what the occasion, black people rarely greet each other like white people shake hands, more fists, hugs and jokes.
A simple joke, the little embarrassment of the first meeting disappeared without a trace.
After a while, the female secretary handed two cups of coffee, and R.R took a sip of coffee and looked at Li Zaiting and smiled, "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you came last time, but I've listened to the sound samples of your songs, and I feel good about the song I told you about last night, if you want, I want to buy the copyright to adapt it." ”
"I'm sorry, I was so tired last night, I didn't have time to make some things clear to you" Saying that, Lee Jae-jeong raised his injured arm at R.R with a slight apology, "I don't plan to sell those songs anymore, in fact, I'm a singer in Korea, and now I want to keep singing by myself, I came today to ask if you can help me release that song, and how much does it cost if I can release it?!" ”
Sometimes it's hard to measure this kind of hard work with money, and now that he has money, Lee Jae-jeong doesn't want to sell the song he is most satisfied with so far.
"You?!" Listening carefully to what Li Zaiting said, R.R was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
“oo! God, he must not have woken up today, boy, you should take a good look in the mirror when you go out today, look at your skin color, although I don't mean to discriminate against you, but do you see that singer in the European and American music scene is Asian?! Not a single one, not even an Asian American, understand?! It's a waste for you to sing that song," R.R said at the end, adding a smile to his tone.
Although the song was great, he had seen too many such young people, young, talented, intelligent, confident and conceited, who could not see reality clearly, but always liked to dream of something unrealistic.
Li Zaiting lightly diǎn diǎn head, r.r is telling the truth, in the American entertainment industry, Asian singers are rarer than Asian actors, there is not a single Asian or Asian among many well-known singers, only some bands that are not in the mainstream can see a few yellow faces.
"You have a point, but I still want to try, and I didn't have it before, but now I have, don't I?! So I want you to help me release this song. After saying it slowly, Li Zaiting picked up the coffee with a smile on his face and took a sip.
From the moment he left South Korea, Lee Jae-ting thought about how he could return to the entertainment industry as an artist and how to return to South Korea in style, but after thinking about it a lot, Lee Jae-ting suddenly found that he seemed to have no way out except for singing.
If you stay in Hollywood as an actor, God knows how many years it will take to get through. If you are a director and invest in shooting a small-budget independent film or TV series, then $30 million is enough, but if you add post-publicity and distribution, $30 million is not enough at all.
And in Hollywood, a small director can't be considered a well-known director if he makes a movie, and this title requires many good works to pile up. In addition, if there is no script, if you buy a script, the screenwriter with a good script will not sell his work to a director who has never even filmed, and it is a pure waste of money to shoot a garbage script.
Seeing that Li Zaiting said so seriously, R.R groaned slightly, couldn't help but put away his smile, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Li Zaiting fixedly, "This song is great, and the music in it is even better, so I pay 300,000, I believe that no one in the entire United States will give such a high price, you can seriously consider it." ”
Li Zaiting shook his head, in all fairness, 300,000 is not low, and many popular Hollywood movie scripts are only more than 200,000, "I'm sorry, my mind won't change, it's not a matter of money." ”
"Okay!!" Seeing that Lee Jae-ting had no intention of changing his mind, R.R smiled unconcernedly. There are a lot of new good music created in the United States every year, and although I like this song, I don't have to do it, even if I can't buy the song, I can still make a fortune on the release.
"Since you insist, let's talk about helping you release this song, you know, now the distribution and promotion of a song is at least three million dollars, if you pay for it yourself, we will charge 40% of the dividends if there is income in the later stage, if we pay for it, we will charge 85% of the dividends, but you insist on singing it yourself now, this song is not something we will invest in" In the end, R.R showed a bright smile on his face again, as if to say that it is not easy to be a star in the United States.
It's really dark
Li Zaiting scolded quietly, and then smiled, "It seems that I have no choice, but three million is no problem." ”
has money in his hands, and he is not panicked, in order to stand on the stage again, Li Zaiting is now too lazy to waste saliva and bargain with R.R.
All record companies in the U.S. derive their profits from song dividends, not from distribution and promotion, and while that's a bit too much now, it does take so much money to release a song in the U.S.
"Boy, I find that I like you more and more" Seeing that Li Zaiting agreed without thinking about it, R.R smiled happily, although it was only a verbal promise now, but he was more and more sure that this guy in front of him was the second generation of a Chinese rich man, and he had nothing to do to burn money to play.
"Actually, you don't have to like me too much, help me promote this song, and in turn I will like you more" Lee Jae-ting smiled, the reason why he agreed so simply, he wanted to hope that his song could become popular with the help of AR company.
Although the AR company is not as bullish and famous as Time Warner, nor is it like Sony Records, which has countless kings and queens, but in the American rap field, the AR company can be regarded as the top three, and the AR experience in promoting rap music is more experienced than the first two.
As for whether he can take the 'dog s' luck to reach the top 100 billboard, Lee Jae-ting didn't even think about it, if it was possible, he hoped that more people would like his songs.
"By the way, boy, I see that you sing rap well, who taught you?!"
After a while, after discussing the specific details, R.R's impression of Lee Jae-ting changed greatly, and his speech became more and more casual.
Thinking of his teacher, Li Zaiting's expression was grim, and he slowly put down the coffee cup, only then did he sigh with a little regret, "My teacher, a man named Charlie. Boyman guys. ”
"Who are you talking about?!" Before Li Zaiting's words fell, R.R, who had been leaning against the sofa, sat up straight, slightly excited, and his face was full of annoyance.
