Chapter 139: Talking about collapse
Tang Nu was a little anxious.
He was the middleman for the transfer of the song, and this matter was originally started by him. If it weren't for the fact that he revealed this song to Mr. Zhang Xueyou, who was choosing a song for the new album, which aroused his strong interest, today's meeting would not have existed.
Of course, Tang Nu hoped that the two sides could reach an agreement, so that his goal of befriending both sides would be achieved. Otherwise, he will be the most embarrassing one in the middle.
'Mr. Ye Zi, we can continue to discuss these three terms. Donnu said.
Lin Wenjie has always closed his golden mouth, sitting on the side and staring at Ye Zi's 'luck', then he can only speak.
'For example, the transfer price, what is the ideal amount in mind?' You say it and see if Director Lin and you can reach a consensus. ‘
Ye Zi looked up at Tang Nu, who had a sincere face, and then at Lin Wenjie, who was expressionless and speechless, thought about it in his heart, and said earnestly.
'Director Lin, Mr. Tangnu, let me start by making one point. The price issue is not the main obstacle, but the time frame and priority are the most difficult for me to accept. ‘
This is my opinion on the dissenting articles. ‘
'The transfer price of the song is not less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the length of time is preferably signed for a five-year exclusive copyright transfer, after which your company can renew the contract for five years at the best price. ‘
As for the right of priority, I can promise to give priority to the transfer of other works to your company under the same conditions. ‘
'Director Lin, Mr. Tangnu, that's what I think. If your company is able to accept it, we can sign the agreement right away. ‘
Ye Zi's attitude is very serious and sincere, he really hopes to reach this agreement.
Whether it is for its future development or for the company's planning, Xiangjiang is a place that cannot be hidden. If you can get in touch with a company like PG, it will be very good for the future.
For this. Ye Zi was willing to make certain concessions, and he was ready for Lin Wenjie's bargain.
To be honest, Tang Nu's heart recognized these conditions proposed by Ye Zi.
10,000 Xiangjiang coins will buy the exclusive copyright of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" for ten years, and such a domineering clause can only be proposed by a giant like PG. If he can call the shots, the matter will already be settled.
But unfortunately, Tang Nu is not Lin Wenjie. He was also unable to agree to these conditions on behalf of PG.
Now that Ye Zi's conditions have been opened, Tang Nu has no reason to speak again.
Is it true that Lin Wenjie next to him doesn't have zài?
The expression on Lin Wenjie's face finally changed. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he brought on a strange smile that he couldn't tell what it was.
It's like smugness, it's like disdain, it's more like a wordless mockery.
'If I insist on 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for ten years, and I want priority, what choice will you make, Mr. Ye Zi?' ‘
'Still refused?' Then we can now conclude this discussion. ‘
Lin Wenjie said lightly. ignored the conditions put forward by Ye Zi at all.
He has that qualification.
As the director of PG's record department, who cares about the presence or absence of one or two works, even if the work is specified by the company's big names.
Don't agree to the terms of the agreement? Then don't want this piece. Anyway, some works are carefully selected by the big names of PG, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a replacement song?
What a joke!
But having said that, deep in Lin Wenjie's heart, he greatly appreciated the conditions put forward by Ye Zi.
The transfer price of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the five-year time limit and the biggest discount after five years, is fully in line with the value of the song "Legend of the Hungry Wolf". At the same time, it is also very in line with Ye Zi's identity as a newcomer.
Being able to put forward such appropriate conditions shows that Ye Zi is not blindly bidding. is very familiar with the song transfer market, and it is also very clear about its own positioning.
Changing places, Lin Wenjie's own conditions are nothing more than that.
However, the appreciation in the heart is appreciated in the heart, and it is impossible for Lin Wenjie to agree to Ye Zi with such conditions.
Over the years, PG has signed a song transfer agreement for new songwriters. There has never been a precedent for this. It's not that the specific terms such as the size of the transfer amount, the length of the time limit, etc., but PG will never make too many compromises to newcomers.
It is better not to have their works than to get used to their temper.
This is PG's attitude towards new songwriters.
This attitude is a concrete embodiment of PG as a giant in the Xiangjiang music scene.
As the director of the system, Lin Wenjie has certain authority to make slight changes according to the company's agreement. But the general direction does not change.
Let's put it this way, even Lin Wenjie, the director of the system, has no right to agree to Ye Zi's condition of drastically modifying the content of the agreement.
Besides, Lin Wenjie himself would not agree to Ye Zi at all.
Ye Zi's face-to-face refusal just now made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Holding this breath in his heart and not letting it out, where will he make Ye Zi feel better.
If Ye Zi is a Xiangjiang person, maybe Lin Wenjie will consider giving a little concession within his authority.
After all, talent is rare!
But let him make concessions to a hillbilly in the hinterland?
Are you kidding!
Lin Wenjie's attitude was so strong that he refused to back down at all, which also made Ye Zi secretly frown.
After thinking about it for a long time in his heart and weighing it again and again, Ye Zi ignored Lin Wenjie's playful smile and said seriously.
"Director Lin, the transfer price of 10,000 Xiangjiang coins is definitely not in line with the value of The Legend of the Hungry Wolf, but considering that this is the first time we have cooperated with each other, I can give in and accept this clause. ‘
Even if I am sincere about this cooperation. ‘
Ye Zi finally took a step back, and Lin Wenjie's gloomy mood improved a little.
Originally, he lowered his dignity to discuss with this Ye Zi, but the other party didn't know what conditions to negotiate, which was really too infuriating and rude
Anyway, it's Ye Zi's fault.
I thought he would really persevere to the end, but when he came to the truth, he was not obedient?
The company's strategy is nothing short of right. For a newcomer like Ye Zi, even half a step can't be backed down.
Lin Wenjie secretly felt proud in his heart and continued to ask.
'Well, I've seen your sincerity. ‘
And then what? On the time limit, Lin Wenjie deliberately dragged out a long tone, waiting for Ye Zi to pick it up.
'I hope that your company will also show your sincerity. ‘
Ye Zi did not continue to give in on the time limit. Still sticking to their demands.
'Are you sure?' ‘
I'm sure. Ye Zi replied affirmatively: "Since it is a cooperation between the two sides, my sincerity has been taken out, and your sincerity should also be shown to me." ‘
Lin Wenjie's eyes narrowed slightly.
After a long while, Lin Wenjie spoke again: "Eight years. ‘
"I'm sorry Director Lin, but I still can't show your sincerity after eight years. Ye Zi directly refused: "I think the three-year time limit of 10,000 Xiangjiang coins is reasonable." ‘
‘no/way! Lin Wenjie immediately shook his head, he also couldn't accept the time limit proposed by Ye Zi.
'That's right,' Ye Zi quickly thought about the countermeasure in his heart: "If Director Lin insists, I can also accept this clause, but I have an additional condition." ‘
'Attached?' ‘
Lin Wenjie immediately asked. At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart.
This Ye Zi looks young, but he didn't expect it to be very difficult, and he actually took the opportunity to put forward any additional conditions.
It's impossible to agree to his terms, but it's okay to listen to it.
'Director Lin may not know it yet, but I am also a singer, and at the moment, I am working on my own solo album. ‘
Ye Zi said the conditions he had in mind.
I can accept this eight-year time limit in exchange. I hope that your company can act as an agent for the release of my album in Hong Kong, and the income will be above'
It's absolutely impossible. ‘
Don't wait for Ye Zi to finish speaking. Lin Wenjie directly denied this additional condition.
Ye Zi was stunned.
It's not troublesome to act as an agent for album release, and it doesn't delay PG's own record release, why is this Lin Wenjie like he has been stepped on his tail, and he doesn't even want to listen to it?
Then forget it, there's no rush to do it anyway.
'In that case, Director Lin. I think it's going to be hard for us to come to a consensus. Ye Zi sighed slightly and said softly.
Lin Wenjie hasn't said anything yet, and Tang Nu is anxious.
'Director Lin, Mr. Ye Zi, I don't think it's better for both sides to take a step back. What about a five-year time frame? ‘
Five years?
Lin Wenjie looked at Tang Nu, then at Ye Zi again, thought for a while, and finally nodded.
'Okay, I'll give Don Nu a face, then five years. ‘
With a five-year time limit of 10,000 Xiangjiang coins, no matter how you look at Lin Wenjie, he has made a lot of money. However, listening to his tone, it seemed to give Tang Nu a lot of face.
Ye Zi has been shaking his head slightly, such a clause is obviously a big loss for him. But in the current situation, either this agreement cannot be signed, or it suffers this loss.
It depends on how Ye Zi chooses.
In fact, for Ye Zi, the main purpose of taking the PG line is for future record releases. In Hong Kong and throughout Asia, PG's record distribution capabilities are second to none.
Although Lin Wenjie refused to attach conditions just now, as long as the cooperation can be successful this time, and the discussion will be much smoother than today after there is a foundation. Moreover, at the headquarters of PG, Mr. Sun Yun also has a certain connection, which can be used at that time.
In this way, the profit and loss of one or two songs are not too much to think about now.
'Yes. I am also able to accept the five-year time limit. However, Ye Zi also agreed to the terms of the time limit, and then the topic changed and immediately put forward his bottom line.
In terms of priority, I can only accept the condition just mentioned, and give preference to your company under equal conditions. ‘
'Huh? Does Mr. Ye Zi still refuse to agree? When it came to priority, Lim's reaction was immediately different.
In this way, I can sign this "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" with 50,000 Hong Kong coins and an eight-year time limit according to the scope of my authority. That's my biggest concession, but the priority must be signed according to the terms of our agreement. ‘
Shang talked about the present, Lin Wenjie made a heavy concession for the first time.
'I'm sorry Director Lin, but I can't agree to that. Ye Zi shook his head. He knew that today's negotiations would certainly not be able to reach an agreement.
Think about it again! Lin Wenjie's anger was a little unbearable.
Ye Zi didn't answer anymore, but shook his head again very resolutely.
Lin Wenjie was furious, snorted angrily, got up and turned around and left. Tang Nu hurriedly said hello to Ye Zi and hurriedly followed.
Behind them, Ye Zi shook his head with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
