The first to come was a tall and fat man, and the first impression was that he was very tall and fat. Lin Ming has been practicing sanda since elementary school, and his figure does not look thin, and he is also 1.83 meters tall, half a head taller than a fat man. But standing in front of the fat man, he looks as thin as a bamboo pole.

The fat man came over like a mountain and completely covered the man behind him. Liang Xiaoyue stood up and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, let me introduce to you, this is the legal person of our company, Zhao Bin." ”

"This is Lin Ming's parents."

"Big brother and sister-in-law." Zhao Bin stretched out a big hand and shook Lin Changqing. At that moment, a monkey emerged from behind him.

Forgive Lin Ming for not finding any other adjectives to describe this person, because this person is simply the other extreme compared to the tall and chubby Zhao Bin. He is very short and thin, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and his face is covered with acne marks, like a monkey.

Liang Xiaoyue introduced: "This is another shareholder of our company, Hou Wenhui. ”

Hou Wenhui also shook hands with Lin Changqing.

After everyone sat down, Liang Xiaoyue said, "When we had a morning meeting this morning, I already explained the situation to the two of them. Brother Lin, I probably understand your question. The most critical issue now is the matter of shares. Since there is a disagreement on this point, we can discuss it carefully. ”

Hou Wenhui said: "Regarding the matter of giving shares, I actually don't agree, but Liang Xiaoyue tried his best to disagree with the public and felt that Lin Ming was indeed a genius, so we agreed." For the time being, only five percent of what we are willing to take out. ”

Lin Changqing's head shook like a rattle: "Five percent is too little, not to mention the future, just these dozens of songs in my son's hands now, how much wealth can be created for your company." ”

Hou Wenhui said: "Brother Lin, if you don't play music, you may not understand. A song, probably of good quality though. But if you want to say that it will be popular, it is not true. The audience's ability to appreciate and current fashion trends are all important factors. determines whether a song can be popular or not, not entirely by its quality, but by the current market environment. Although Liang Xiaoyue said that almost every song in your son's hands is a high-quality product, can you guarantee that they will be popular in the future? If you can sign a guarantee agreement, you can guarantee that they will be able to make half the sky popular in the future. Then don't say 5 percent, even if it's 50 percent, we're willing to give. ”

Hou Wenhui's negotiation ability is simply much stronger than Liang Xiaoyue, Liang Xiaoyue is obviously specialized in music, just like a technical shareholder of a company, and his business negotiation ability is as naïve as a child. But as soon as Hou Wenhui appeared, Lin Changqing suddenly felt a strong opponent.

In just a few words, Hou Wenhui easily turned against the guest, and he had a very strong sense of oppression in language and logic. Lin Changqing, who has not yet experienced the baptism of the shopping mall, feels very difficult to deal with.

However, Lin Changqing is not a vegetarian, he has been in politics for nearly 20 years, and the accumulated experience is enough for him to quickly organize a language rebuttal: "This just shows the problem of your company's propaganda ability, you yourself said that whether a song can be popular or not depends entirely on its quality, but you can't deny that quality is a prerequisite for whether it can be popular." If it's one of those top big companies, with strong publicity and distribution capabilities, with my son's high-quality songs and their level of publicity, overwhelming advertising and brainwashing, I don't think it's a very difficult thing to do. If a song is sung and catchy, everyone thinks it is good, and the public likes it, then the problem of audience appreciation will definitely no longer exist. After all, when this beautiful melody is being sung on the streets and alleys, more people will inevitably participate and accept it. Therefore, you dare not guarantee that my son's song will not be popular, which just means that you are not confident in your company's propaganda ability. ”

Hou Wenhui said with a smile: "Brother Lin, I am in charge of business and publicity in the company. Because I am in charge of this part, I am quite confident in this part of our business. What I'm really not confident in is that I don't trust your son's songs. It's not that your son's songs are bad, I believe in Liang Xiaoyue's level of appreciation. But as the saying goes, Zhao Bin and I were not on the scene yesterday, so I don't know what your son's real level and the songs he wrote are like. I'm sitting here talking to you now, just for Liang Xiaoyue's sake. To say how satisfied you are with your son's song is to be false. ”

"This...."Lin Changqing, who could speak well, hesitated.

He was caught with a sore foot, as Hou Wenhui said. Lin Changqing doesn't know much about his son's true level. He just heard from his son that Liang Xiaoyue, the music producer and boss of Peachwood Music, appreciated it very much, so he naturally held this condition as a bargaining chip.

But once the showdown comes, the chips actually pale in comparison. Because Lin Changqing himself doesn't know about his son's works, he can't come up with something to refute it. It's like when you told others that online shopping and e-commerce would definitely be popular in the future, but in the eyes of people in that era, the retail industry and physical stores were opened one by one, and all kinds of stores spread across the country like a virus flood. In this era when online shopping and e-commerce are struggling, and I don't know how many billions of dollars have been burned, this kind of thing is like a joke.

It is precisely because Lin Changqing doesn't know his son at all, and it's just like the fact that people nowadays haven't even heard of the word e-commerce. So he was worried that Lin Ming's works would not achieve the expected results, and when the time came, the high quality mentioned earlier would obviously become a joke. Such an aggressive way to negotiate conditions is self-defeating. Thinking of this, Lin Changqing was silent. Fortunately, the city government has kept him from messing up for many years, but he hasn't thought of words to refute it. But this thing is basically irrefutable, whether the quality of the work is good or not, after all, you have to take it out for everyone to see, so the rest can only depend on the level of the son.

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing looked at Lin Ming, frowned and said, "Son....."

"Dad, don't worry." Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ming interrupted with a smile: "I know in my heart what level of the songs I wrote myself, and it is certain that they are better than most songs on the market, if you don't believe this, you can ask Mr. Liang." Even I had no problem playing for everyone on the spot. ”

Liang Xiaoyue said: "If you want to play on the spot, that's better." In fact, when a cappella is accompanied by an instrument, the difference between the feeling of singing is quite big. It just so happened that the song you asked me to help arrange was made, and they could be used as accompaniment by the new era. ”

"Was it made so soon?" Lin Ming was a little surprised, because he was going to sing it to An Ran tonight, and if he made it now, it would mean that he would have more time to practice this song.

After half a month of study, Lin Ming is much more proficient in the use of the guitar, and if he simply plays the simple score, he thinks he can still control it.

"Huh."

Liang Xiaoyue smiled and said: "The main thing is that you think of the prelude, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, once you start doing anything, the things behind are actually very easy to grasp." You gave us the lyrics, the tune, and the accompaniment prelude, and it would be a little too unprofessional if we didn't come up with something. In fact, it only took us 6 hours to compile all the score, sheet music and pitch change of this song, and there are several versions of the score, we temporarily think that the first version is the most suitable, but it is still based on your opinion, you can listen to it when the time comes, which version you think is the most suitable, and then you choose which version. ”

Lin Ming nodded: "That's the best, but I don't know how to read the piano score, so I still have to ask Teacher Liang to teach me when the time comes." ”

"It's relatively simple to read the score, and if you are involved in music in the future, you still have to learn these basic things. Writing music can rely on humming, imagination and talent, lyrics can rely on literature and accumulation, but arranging and singing are not, you must have a solid foundation of music theory knowledge. ”

Liang Xiaoyue said solemnly: "I studied at the Eastman School of Music in college, and I am currently ranked among the top three in the world, so I am still somewhat sure of this knowledge. I hope that if you have time in the future, you can come to the company more often, and we can discuss and learn from each other. ”

"That's okay, I'll have to trouble Mr. Liang a lot when the time comes." Lin Ming said politely: "Now how about we perform my song on the spot?" Can Mr. Liang help me with the accompaniment? ”

"Don't be so troublesome, Ah Jian, they practiced for one night last night, and they haven't gone back yet, they are practicing in the studio, we can let them play." Liang Xiaoyue pointed upstairs: "I actually want to see the specific performance effect of this song, after all, I don't have a bottom in my heart." ”

"They haven't gone back yet?" Lin Ming was surprised: "I haven't rested all night until now, so it's too hard." ”

Liang Xiaoyue said: "Ah Jian's band is hardworking, but it has not been popular. If this album is made, if it is not popular, the band may be disbanded. So they also worked very hard, and they didn't have much rest for several nights in a row, practicing desperately to achieve the best results. ”

He Zijian was also a quasi-first-line back then, and when he was the most popular, he was almost no different from Daolang Adu, but except for the first few albums, the quality of the songs in the back became worse and worse, and the attention became lower and lower, until he suddenly retired, except for the small section reports of the entertainment media, in just three or four years, many people couldn't even remember who he was. However, most young people are at that time, so the memory of his existence is still preserved. At least Lin Ming remembers him, He Zijian debuted at the end of 03, according to his later recollections, he once talked about the original formation of the band, but there has been no success, the band has been disbanded after the life is very hard, in addition to working every day to earn living expenses, I have to rack my brains to write songs and practice musical instruments at night. is the so-called bitter and sweet, two years of accumulation made him popular overnight in 04 years and became a representative of pop music in that era. Now practicing all night also shows how hard he has worked to live up to his future achievements.

It's just that for Lin Ming, it is a pity that He Zijian will be extremely prosperous and declining in the future. With his ability, he has every chance to be as popular as his contemporaries such as Lin Junjie and Mayday. But the final ending, like Daolang and Adu, was short-lived, after all, because this circle was really cruel.

Once you don't have a new good work to keep you in a thriving state, the audience won't think about you at all except for the occasional nostalgia. The reality is so cold.
