Chapter 138: Saying "No"

"This is the standard text of our company's song transfer agreement, Mr. Ye, please take a look at it first, and if you have any questions, you can ask me at any time." ”

On the afternoon of the next day, sitting in a tea restaurant near the hotel, Lin Wenjie met Ye Zi under the introduction of Tang Nu and greeted Ye Zi, and immediately entered today's topic.

Lin Wenjie's speech speed was very fast, and his tone rose slightly, which was very consistent with the capable temperament that his whole person revealed.

Lam Man-kit is one of Hong Kong's finest production directors. In his early thirties, he has been in charge of PG's record department for five years, and has many big-name singers, including Zhang Xueyou. The records produced by zuò can win several golden trophies every year, and the sales of records have also remained at the forefront of the whole Heung Kong Record Company all year round. Such a result is good enough, and it is enough for Lin Wenjie to maintain his strength in front of any singer or musician.

In the face of Ye Zi, of course, there will be no exception.

In fact, although Lin Wenjie's conversation with Ye Zi maintained a superficial politeness, in his heart, he did not think that Ye Zi, who was from the mainland of China, had room for refusal or bargaining.

I thought I could bargain with PG if I wrote a good work, and this idea was really interesting, and it was really a dumpling from the mainland. I'm afraid that this soil bun who has never seen anything in the world will not even know too clearly what a company of PG's size represents in the Xiangjiang music scene, right?

Looking at Ye Zi, who was sitting opposite and reading the content of the transfer agreement carefully, Lin Wenjie silently despised the other party in his heart.

Opposite Lin Wenjie, Ye Zizai carefully read the transfer agreement, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Lack of visibility and influence, it is really difficult to get these big companies to show enough sincerity!

But no matter how hard it is. You have to give it a try.

Putting down the text, Ye Zi took a sip of tea, organized the language, and then spoke.

"Director Lin, thank you very much for your appreciation and love for the work "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", the terms of this transfer agreement. It is also basically the same as the content I entrusted Mr. Tang Nu to convey to you last time. Thanks, you bothered. ”

"Mr. Tangnu, thank you again for this opportunity. Thank you. ”

As he spoke, Ye Zi bowed slightly and expressed his gratitude to Lin Wenjie and Tang Nu respectively.

"Hehe, you're too polite, Mr. Ye Zi."

Tang Nu waved his hand and said with a smile.

Compared with Lin Wenjie, Tang Nu knows more about Ye Zi. After last night's semi-finals. He really admires this all-round singer from the mainland more and more.

Being able to help match and improve the relationship between each other, Tang Nu felt that this effort was very worthwhile.

Lin Wenjie nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Zi's humble and polite attitude is the most common and familiar attitude for him, and in his heart, the other party should be such a grateful attitude.

PG can look at your work, so what else is there to say?

So, things should be done.

Is it easy!

I knew it was so. There is no need for me to make such a trip for that clause in person, just let Chen Jiayi send someone over to sign the contract. Forgive this Ye Zi and dare not sign this agreement. Chen Jiayi, the manager of the system, was lazy, but let himself, the director of the system, be degraded to meet such a mainlander.

Alas, who let themselves be in charge of these things, and they can't push them off?

Forget it, for the sake of the matter being able to be solved lightly, I won't go to his trouble when I go back to the company later.

"Mr. Ye is very talented. This song meets the requirements of our PG to only do fine products. ”

“so,we/got/a/deal?”

Lin Wenjie smiled confidently and reservedly, in a good mood. He casually praised Ye Zi, and directly sent Ye Zi an inquiry about the signing. English is the language that Lin Wenjie will come out of at any time when he is talking to people.

This. Maybe it has something to do with his overseas study experience. People who deal with him a lot have long been accustomed to this scene.

"I'M/SO/SORRY, Director Lin."

Under Lin Wenjie's confident and reserved gaze, Ye Zi smiled faintly, but what he said was an answer that Lin Wenjie did not expect at all.

"Some of the specific terms in the agreement are quite different from my requirements, so" Ye Zi showed an apologetic expression: "I can't agree to sign this agreement immediately." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Wenjie's smile froze.

"Mr. Ye Zi, this agreement"

Tapping the text on the table with his finger, Lin Wenjie frowned and was displeased: "For new songwriters, it's already very favorable." ”

"Mr. Ye Zi, the contracts given by PG to newcomers are almost the same." Tang Nu added on the side.

Exchanging glances with Lin Wenjie, Tang Nu continued.

"If you are not satisfied, you can directly raise it, and everyone is sitting together today just to discuss a result."

Seeing that the other party had such an attitude, Ye Zi nodded and said very formally.

"There are three clauses in this agreement that I am not very satisfied with."

"Please." It was still Tang Nu who spoke, and Lin Wenjie sat there expressionlessly.

"Okay."

"First, the transfer amount is too low."

Ye Zi was not polite and humble, and directly said his thoughts. This is content closely related to one's own interests, and it is better to hide and show one's views in a generous manner.

"Director Lin, Mr. Tang Nu, I think the transfer amount of 10,000 Xiangjiang coins cannot correctly reflect the value of the work "Legend of the Hungry Wolf".

Lin Wenjie frowned again when he heard this, but he still didn't speak, and it was still Tang Nu who spoke.

"What about the other two? Mr. Ye Zi, you can talk about all the terms that you are not satisfied with, and we will continue to discuss. ”

"Yes."

"The second clause that I am not satisfied with is the length of time for the transfer. Ten years of exclusive copyright transfer, this time is a bit too long for me to accept. ”

"Director Lin, Mr. Tang Nu, in the case that the amount of the song transfer in the agreement is only 10,000 Hong Kong coins, I don't think this length of time can reflect the sincerity of your company."

"Humph!"

Lin Wenjie snorted softly, and the expression on his face gradually became gloomy.

Ye Zi was stunned and continued to speak.

"And one last point, and that's the last clause of this agreement, priority."

"With all due respect, Director Lin, Mr. Tang Nu, such a clause is probably not in the standard contract text of PG, right?"

"I won't agree to this."

Before Ye Zi's words fell, Lin Wenjie's gaze was like two sharp swords, and Ye Zi looked at him directly without dodging.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Of the three proposed by Ye Zi, the first two are the top priorities of the song transfer agreement. These two conditions cannot be negotiated, and there is no way to talk about the transfer of songs.

And the last clause of the agreement was precisely added by Lin Wenjie himself. However, Ye Zi was dissatisfied with this article, which was simply a slap in the face.

It's no wonder that Lin Wenjie can be happy.

However, since he came, Ye Zi also put forward his views in person, which means that this matter still needs to be discussed. Otherwise, Ye Zi would just refuse to leave directly, and there was no need to make it clear that he was not satisfied with the terms one by one.

Of course, Lin Wenjie also knew this, but he was still extremely unhappy in his heart.

It's been a long time!

Since taking the position of director of PG's record department, this is the first time that a new songwriter dares to say "no" to him directly in front of him, and he says it so confidently. Even the criticism of "lack of sincerity" was directly stated.

Is the sincerity of PG something that new songwriters can enjoy? It's ridiculous!

But this hillbilly from the mainland is really bold!

The songwriters I have seen in the past are at the mercy of PG if they want to stand out in the Xiangjiang music scene. As long as they can sign an agreement to publish their works, even if they are asked to post a little upside down, there are songwriters who are chasing after them.

What is the agreement? How much to transfer?

Who would consider any of this?

It is already worth it for them to burn incense and worship Buddha if they can make industry leaders like PG look at their works, where do they dare to make any more requests?

This hillbilly is good, a rookie songwriter who can't be more tender, and he is from the mainland, he dares to point fingers in the face of the content of the agreement given by PG, which is not okay and does not agree.

That's a rare thing to see.

Lin Wenjie made up his mind, he wanted to see today what kind of confidence this hillbilly from the mainland had to dare to refuse him in person. (To be continued......)
