Chapter 180: Swinging the score
An Keqing is here, and Du Yun doesn't want to leave time for An Keqing. But in order to make a good impression on Ding Ning, she was very sensible and did not occupy Ding Ning's time too much.
After a conversation, she knew Ding Ning, she invited Ding Ning to have dinner together, and after getting Ding Ning's consent, she went to Yang Du with satisfaction.
Ding Ning went to see An Keqing.
An Keqing is not very old, only 24 years old, Ding Ning pushed the door in, and said hello to her very awkwardly, "Sister An", and by the way, Li Hui said hello, "Sister Li".
Ding Ning entered the door with a smile, very polite, and looked very kind, but Li Hui didn't dare to let go of his heart.
There is never a shortage of smiling tigers in the entertainment industry, and she has seen all kinds of people, but she remains skeptical about whether Ding Ning is the same on the outside.
An Keqing hurriedly got up: "Coming back?" ”
"Hmm." Ding Ning nodded.
had an unpleasant experience, An Keqing was embarrassed to say too much, so as not to appear pretentious, so she could only get straight to the point: "You should come to me by yourself." ”
"Yes." Ding Ning walked to the sofa opposite An Keqing and sat down.
Ding Ning behaved very freely, he could see his confidence and confidence, and inexplicably felt that this trip might not go well, An Keqing paused and asked, "Do you still have the song you wrote for me last time?" ”
Unfortunately, when he joined the training camp of the Young Singer Contest on the 12th, he brought this song to Xia Ziyan, and Ding Ning said: "It has been sold to others." ”
"Oh." An Keqing's tone fell.
After a moment of silence, she spoke again: "My new album still lacks a title song, would you like to write another one for me?" ”
The title track is the most important song on an album. As the main song, in the early stage of the album's launch, the title song went from exposure to promotion. None of them can be compared to other songs.
Generally speaking, the title song is the first or second top song in an album that is most favored by the singer himself.
The platform hit the charts, and the main song is charging forward.
If the title song gets good results, it can drive a lot of album sales, and well-known singers like An Keqing, the title song is usually produced by experienced masters in the industry.
Now An Keqing said that there is a lack of title songs. The meaning is obvious.
Last time, she refused to sing, but this time, she sincerely asked for a song. The title song is clearly a compensation for the last rejection.
In fact, it is normal to refuse songs, Ding Ning is not so stingy, and she will not be blacklisted or something just because she refuses to sing. After all. If only there was no gas at all. can't get along in the entertainment industry at all, no matter how awesome he is, he has to be vomited blood by popularity.
What's more, An Keqing can invite the song in person, or invite the main song, which is enough to save face, and there is no reason to have a small belly.
Of course, if you say no, you can refuse, and if you say write, you can write. It's so faceless, you have to take the opportunity to get benefits. Ding Ning said: "If I can help Sister An write songs, I must be willing." It's just that I've been very busy lately and barely have time to write songs. In this way, if Sister An can ask Teacher He Shuntong to help me write a song, I will definitely give the song to Sister An in time. ”
He Shuntong is the first lyricist and composer under Baishi, although his name is not as big as that of Li Zainian and Sun Shanyue, but many singers are begging for his songs.
However, a singer-songwriter like Ding Ning rarely asks for other people's songs. He has just released a new album, and there is no reason to ask for songs.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Ding Ning should be the song he asked for for others, An Keqing asked, "It shouldn't be for yourself, right?" ”
"Well, Sister An, do you know Zhang Xuan?"
Of course, Ding Ning didn't ask for the song for himself, he asked for Zhang Xuan.
As a studio owner, he has to pay attention to the long run.
Zhang Xuan is not the only female singer he wants to cultivate, and the songs he remembers are limited in the final analysis, so it would be irrational for him to stuff the songs he brought from the previous world into Zhang Xuan's album.
You know, an album has at least ten songs, and he is only twenty years old now, so he has to devote himself to this industry for at least ten years or even decades.
Therefore, for long-term consideration, he must intersperse the songs of the previous world with the songs of this world.
Zhang Xuan is the only singer in his studio other than him, of course, he has to use dim sum. Therefore, he wanted He Shuntong, who was very famous in the circle, to help write a poem.
"Zhang Xuan......", this name is a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is for a while, An Keqing groaned slightly, looked sideways at Li Hui, and asked, "Do you know?" ”
Li Hui shook her head: "I don't know." ”
Ding Ning smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't know her, anyway, it's a female singer in my studio, and I'm preparing to release an album for her recently, so I want to ask Mr. He to help write a song." ”
He Shuntong is not a prolific songwriter and generally does not write songs for singers from other companies.
Even if she is the first sister in a hundred years, she can only use three or four songs written by He Shuntong in an album at most.
Ding Ning asked her to ask He Shuntong to write a song for Zhang Xuan, which was quite difficult.
However, An Keqing still agreed: "No problem." ”
Because, He Shuntong can write good songs, but rarely writes songs that are really popular.
Among the three albums she has released, the most popular songs on each album are not written by He Shuntong.
And Ding Ning's song is not necessarily better than He Shuntong, but it is a fire.
The difference is whether the two can grasp the pulse of the market.
In terms of commerciality, it is obvious that Ding Ning, who wrote a popular song, is stronger. From this aspect, even if she removes a song from her album, she is willing to use it to replace Ding Ning's song.
An Keqing agreed happily, and Ding Ning didn't ink: "Then thank you Sister An." In this way, I will send you a sample of the song by the weekend at the latest. He Shuntong's song, I am not in such a hurry, I can give it to me before the end of the month. Let's offset the guaranteed reserve price directly, and the split will be calculated at 15%, what do you think, Sister An? ”
Before inviting Ding Ning to sing, the rate was 10%, but now, Ding Ning has directly opened the ratio to 15%, but he really regards himself as a master.
And in the final analysis, he was just a newcomer who had just debuted for a short time, and he was so arrogant and straightforward to ask for a 15% ratio of big names in the industry, An Keqing was subconsciously a little unhappy.
So is Li Hui.
Before, 10% promised to be called a refreshing, but how long has it been, and the lion has opened his mouth to 15%, and even the guarantee has to be consistent with Master He Shuntong, which is too serious about himself.
It's just a matter of paying him to help write a song, but he still wants He Shuntong to return a song, can he still put on some scores?
Do you really think that if you write a few fire songs, you can't do it?
But Ding Ning just takes himself so seriously, is so arrogance, so awesome, what choice do they have?
Now, but they begged Ding Ning, not Ding Ning begged them, and it was completely okay if they didn't agree, so they continued to shoot and scatter.
Coming all the way from Yanjing, of course An Keqing would not be stupid enough to refuse Ding Ning again, even if she wanted to refuse, she had to read the song written by Ding Ning.
She thought about it and gritted her teeth secretly: "Okay!" (To be continued......)
