Chapter 6: Collaborate on an EP
He Xiuqiong glanced at the check, pushed the check over again, and said with a smile: "Aze's three songs are very suitable for our TV series, and each of them is good, this money is still worth it!" ”
2 million, Lin Ze said that he was not impressed, it was impossible, but with his current fame and those three songs, it is indeed high.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Li Ze will not narcissistically believe that He Xiuqiong has a good eye for heroes and knows that he will inevitably develop in the future, so he will invest as early as possible.
2 million, who will get along with banknotes *bills*?
Sure enough, just when Lin Ze was puzzled, He Xiuqiong smiled and said, "Aze, Sister He really needs your help now." ”
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter, Sister He, please say." ”
"Hmm......" He Xiuqiong frowned slightly, then sighed lightly and said......
Originally from the first broadcast of Huanzhu, after the fire of Zi Zhao Ling, the company struck while the iron was hot and created two albums for Zhao Ling, although the singing skills are not mature, but with its fame, the sales are also very good.
The company used its resources on Huanzhu Gege, so another Ziwei Gege was naturally "left out".
Lin Xinru has a good relationship with Zhao Ling in private, and he is not jealous and hateful because of this, but there will always be envy.
And in fact, the company also has a plan to create an album for Lin Xinru, and when Zhao Cheng released his first album, he arranged for Lin Xinru to practice singing.
It's just that she didn't come from a professional background, even now, her singing skills are so-so, but for the company, releasing albums is just to make money through fame, and her singing skills are reasonable, after all, the requirements for idol stars and powerful stars are different!
After listening to He Xiuqiong's narration, Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, and quickly searched in his mind, in the original history, Lin Xinru will release the first EP album "Heartbeat" in March next year, and the evaluation of this album is: "In terms of songs, as long as you can position Lin Xinru in the position of an idol singer, it is still easier to accept." …… In any case, this is an idol record, as long as your attention is not on the song side......"
Lin Ze pouted, Lin Xinru has always been a jade girl on the screen, but this album wants to break through, and invited Zhang Ping, Hong Kong's leading image director, to change his image of a jade girl.
The idea is good, it's just a set image, where is it so easy to break through?
I glanced at a few songs on the playlist, but I hadn't heard of any of them.
"Aze, Aze......" He Xiuqiong finished speaking, but saw that Lin Ze was in a daze, and shouted softly twice.
Lin Ze came back to his senses and looked at her suspiciously, He Xiuqiong smiled: "The company wants to give Xinru an EP first, but the song hasn't landed yet, what's the matter, is Aze willing to help?" ”
Lin Ze secretly said in his heart, so it is. Then I thought: I am unknown, so she invited herself to sing, does she look up to herself, or does she not care about the quality of the album at all?
He Xiuqiong is a businessman, and he naturally chose the latter as the answer! Lin Ze speculated: If she can write songs, as long as she can come up with five songs that are not too scumbag, she will choose them! After all, the album for Lin Xinru is to make money, not to cultivate any singers!
It's just that...... If the song is not well received, won't it tarnish your reputation?
frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Since Sister He has spoken, how can I refuse?" ”
He Xiuqiong smiled slightly when she heard this.
"But ......" Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, looked at He Xiuqiong, and said with a smile: "Sister He, I also have a condition!" ”
"Oh?" He Xiuqiong was a little surprised, and said playfully: "Tell me about it." ”
Lin Ze sensitively noticed the fleeting look in her eyes, as if he was not on the same level as her at all, and it was really beyond his power to put forward conditions to her.
Secretly snorted, and said in his heart: Look down on me? Then I'll scare you out five classic songs! But before that, the conditions must be negotiated.
Lin Ze was full of confidence, "I want to participate in profit sharing!" ”
"What?" He Xiuqiong was stunned for a moment, and asked a little nervously, "What did you say?" ”
"I said I'm going to share." Lin Ze put his hands around his chest, leaned back in the chair, and said calmly.
He Xiuqiong looked at Lin Ze playfully, and after a while, said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you are really good at it, with Xinru's fame, the album is almost a big hit, do you want to share?" Are you stupid when we are a company? ”
The corners of Lin Ze's mouth twitched.
In 98, Taiwanese singer Xu Huaiyu released two albums in a row, each of which broke one million, and became a diva as soon as he debuted, and in 99 years, he released another album, one of which "Flying Separately" swept across the Taiwan Strait and three places, singing in the streets and alleys, and was praised by fans as a classic that could not be surpassed.
But even so, the sales of Zhao Yuan's second album "The Great Curse of Love" still exceeded that of Xu Huaiyu in the same period, selling 1.5 million copies! (Hong Kong and Taiwan only)
It's true that I didn't think about it. Although Lin Xinru has never released a record, with her current fame, she is indeed sure to make a profit, and she said that she wanted to share it, who would want to?
His face was slightly red, but as soon as his eyes narrowed, he thought of the method of completion, and said lightly: "2.5 million, we take this as the boundary, within 2.5 million, you are eight and I are two, more than 2.5 million, we are still twenty-eight, I am eight and you are two, what does Sister He think so?" ”
He Xiuqiong didn't expect him to be really "unrepentant", and proposed such a way again, but think about it carefully, with Zhao Ling's fame, an album in Hong Kong and Taiwan only sold 1.5 million copies, the mainland because piracy is rampant, only a few hundred thousand, and Southeast Asia, because of the 97 financial crisis, the purchasing power has declined, and there are only about 400,000 copies.
2.5 million, where is it so easy to do? As for the twenty percent of the profits, it should be regarded as the copyright fee for buying songs, she looked at Lin Ze, who was full of confidence, and said in her heart: In this way, the company has not suffered a loss at all!
"Sister He, how is it?" Lin Ze asked again.
"Hmm~" He Xiuqiong groaned, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "This is not harmful to our company, but I really don't know where Aze's confidence comes from!" ”
Lin Ze was relieved when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Lin Xinru's singing skills are not yet mature, but it should be more than enough to sing some songs with simple melodies, right? And in order to avoid exposing the shortcomings of insufficient singing skills, you can also move some tricks and feet in the choice of music style, as for sales, not in Asia, and in Europe and the United States? ……
Lin Ze secretly pondered, and the black-bellied man had already made up his mind to make a fortune and leave.
Lin Ze stayed in He Xiuqiong's office and discussed the specific details, and finally decided to produce *production* at the expense of Zhongjie and be responsible for the recording, while Lin Ze was responsible for five original songs. The two sides signed an agreement, and the time was already noon, He Xiuqiong wanted to invite Lin Ze to dinner, but Lin Ze politely refused.
Lin Ze walked out of Huaiyun Building, carrying a check of 2 million, he was extremely excited, and hurriedly went to the bank, applied for a bank * bank * card, transferred the money, and went to a nearby securities company to open an account.
At this time, the stock market is closed and will not open until 1 p.m.
In the stock market, Lin Ze learned that when the market closed in the morning, the stock price of Yi'an Technology stopped at 25.50, and without hesitation, he placed an order to buy 780 lots.
2 million came and went quickly, and there were only more than 10,000 left on the card that could be used.
Lin Ze opened the door of He Xiuqiong's office and saw four people, two of whom he knew, it was He Xiuqiong herself and Chen Weier, and the other was a tall and fat, short and thin, two people in stark contrast, the two of them looked like they were in their thirties, they didn't dare to compliment, they had dyed their hair, they were fashionable, the fat man had a burgundy chicken nest head, and the thin man had long golden hair covering his face. Lin Ze walked in and couldn't help but glance at the two of them a few more times.
When He Xiuqiong saw Lin Ze coming, she smiled and stood up to introduce them.
The tall and fat one is called Pang Wei, a photographer, and the short and thin one is called Fang Jian, a music maker, Lin Ze smiled and stretched out his hand to them, but they snorted lightly and put on a shelf, so they reluctantly shook hands with Lin Ze.
Lin Ze knew that he must have looked at them twice more when he came in just now, which made them feel uncomfortable, and he felt a little sorry in his heart.
He Xiuqiong saw the gap between them, smiled, shook her head, didn't go to her heart, pointed to Chen Weier and said: "The four of you will work together from today, Aze is responsible for writing and music, Ah Wei is responsible for filming the MV, Ah Jian is responsible for arranging, and Wei'er is responsible for coordinating." ”
It is said to be co-ordination, but in fact, it is to manage money.
Lin Ze didn't want to be too abnormal, so he only said that the lyrics and music were not finished yet.
The four of them talked to He Xiuqiong in the office for a while, and then walked out of the building, Fang Jian glanced at Lin Ze expressionlessly, and said, "He hasn't made the song yet, and now he has nothing to do with me, so I won't be with you." As he spoke, he waved his right hand, put his left hand in his bell bottoms, and very coolly stopped a taxi and left.
Lin Ze looked at the taxi in a daze, and said in his heart: This special *size* is too individual, right?
Chen Weier shook her head and said, "Then let's go to the film and television city first, and shoot the MV first." ”
Lin Ze's heart moved, go to the film and television city to shoot the MV? Then you can see Zhao Ling, Lin Xinru, and Su Youpeng? Although I have been mixed in the film and television city and have seen stars, I have seen them from a distance, and I am a little excited when I think about them at this time, or I will know them and be friends.
Pang Wei frowned, glanced at Lin Ze, this guy was actually a little taller than Lin Ze, and said: "The MV and the song are both corresponding, he hasn't written the song yet, how can the MV be filmed first?" ”
"This ......" Chen Wei'er was immediately entangled, and looked at Lin Ze helplessly.
Lin Ze smiled, looking at her aggrieved sister next door, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke the top of her head, and said: "It's okay, it takes more than an hour to go to the film and television city, I already have the melody of a song in my head, just fill in the words, one hour is enough." ”
Lin Ze's movements were too intimate, Chen Wei'er lowered her head shyly, blushed slightly, raised her head happily when she heard this, and said with bright eyes: "Really? ”
Lin Ze saw her blushing, like a red apple, touched his nose, and realized that his behavior was too abrupt, "That's nature, isn't it just five songs?" It's only two or three days of work......"
