Chapter 35: Li Dai Taozhuang

It took Lin Yangyang two days to find the plaque of Maizi Entertainment at the door of a dilapidated warehouse in Kyoto's North Eighth Ring Road, where the walls were almost gone.

After confirming with his friends again, Lin Yangyang walked in, and then asked Han Mingze, Xiong Zijian, Qi Siyu and Gu Linlin, who were rehearsing the song: "Excuse me, are you the Big Bird Band?" ”

Han Mingze put down the guitar: "I am the lead singer and lead guitarist of the Big Bird Band, who are you and what are you looking for us?" ”

"Hello, I am Lin Yangyang, the external producer of the production team of the "Singer", and I represent our production team to invite the Big Bird Band to be the accompanist of our program." Lin Yangyang said while looking at "Xu Kai", who had asked her to look for two days.

"Do you want to sign us to "Singer" as an accompanist?"

After hearing Lin Yangyang's purpose for finding them, Han Mingze, Xiong Zijian, Qi Siyu and Gu Linlin were all dumbfounded!

Although it was a bit miserable, as people in the music industry, they still know the news.

For example, "Singer", a large-scale music competition program that claims to be "music has no added meaning, only the purest music program".

As far as they know, the musicians who have been signed are all the top in the industry, and any one of those people is like thunder.

Therefore, Han Mingze and others, who are well aware of the current situation of the Big Bird Band, really can't believe that this big pie will fall on their heads.

"Not only that, but we would like to invite you to be a music producer to train and coach our contestants." Lin Yangyang looked at "Xu Kai" and said.

"Let me be a music producer? Training and mentoring for those A-list singers? ”

Seeing that Lin Yangyang didn't seem to be joking, Han Mingze was so excited that his whole body trembled: "I, Han Mingze, have finally come to the end of my hardship!" ”

Xiong Zijian, Qi Siyu and Gu Linlin heard what Lin Yangyang said, while they were happy for their teammates, they were a little puzzled, how could Han Mingze, who had no outstanding talent in a series of creative work such as composition, lyrics, arrangement, recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production, be favored by the "Singer" program production team?

"We don't have much reputation in the circle, I wonder why you chose us?" Han Mingze pretended to ask calmly.

Of course, Lin Yangyang couldn't tell "Xu Kai" and others the truth that Yang Xinchun didn't let them say, she could only pick up the good ones and say: "I heard that you have an absolute sense of tone and are a dusty music producer, and the purpose of our "Singer" is not to look at fame, but to see whether you have strength." ”

"We believe that with the strength of you and the Big Bird Band, after participating in the recording of our "Singer", it will definitely be a blockbuster."

Who would have thought, Lin Yangyang boasted and boasted, and saw that "Xu Kai", who was originally full of smugness that could not be concealed, became like ashes.

What Lin Yangyang didn't expect was that "Xu Kai" suddenly said: "I'm sorry, we are not interested in "Singer" at all. ”

As soon as the words of "Xu Kai" came out, Lin Yangyang immediately panicked!

Xu Kai is not important.

The important thing is that if Xu Kai can't be signed, Yang Xindong will not be on their "Singer".

Lin Yangyang hurriedly said, "We are very sincere, huh...... In this way, we can give you and the Big Bird a 500,000 appearance fee for one season, how about it? ”

500,000?

Except for Gu Linlin, everyone else gasped, and then they all showed greed when they hadn't even seen the 50,000 yuan appearance fee!

Among them, Han Mingze, who is almost poor and crazy, is the most.

But Han Mingze knew that the lead singer of the Big Bird Band with an absolute sense of musicality that Lin Yangyang was looking for was Xu Kai, not him.

Don't say 500,000, it's 5 billion, and he Han Mingze can only watch dryly!

Han Mingze put on a look of don't take money to humiliate me: "500,000 yuan wants to ask us to accompany you to do a season of show, what are you kidding?" ”

Glancing at this dilapidated warehouse that should have been demolished a long time ago, and then at "Xu Kai" and others who exuded a shabby atmosphere from top to bottom and inside out, Lin Yangyang really wanted to spit on the face of "Xu Kai", who had no fame at all and was like twenty-five or eighty-thousand.

But thinking of Yang Xindong's strength, fame and traffic, Lin Yangyang still endured it, and then went out to call Ouyang Changlin, and reported the attitude of "Xu Kai" to Ouyang Changlin.

Ouyang Changlin was silent for a while, and said: "As long as Xu Kai is willing to come, he will ask for 5 million, and give it to him, Yang Xindong is worthy of our blood." ”

After getting Ouyang Changlin's order, Lin Yangyang came back and said to "Xu Kai": "The price is negotiable, I really came with sincerity." ”

"That's 5 million, if you are willing to pay 5 million, our brothers will accompany you to do a season of show."

Han Mingze's original intention was to scare Lin Yangyang away by asking for a sky-high price.

What Han Mingze never expected was that after thinking about it for a while, Lin Yangyang actually agreed: "Okay, it's 5 million!" ”

Han Mingze and the others were immediately dumbfounded!

Afraid that "Xu Kai" would be bald and rebellious, Lin Yangyang asked to sign a draft contract with "Xu Kai" first.

Of course, Han Mingze didn't want to and didn't dare to sign this draft contract.

Therefore, Han Mingze unreasonably demanded:

A 30% advance payment must be made before the contract can be signed.

During the recording of "The Singer", they had to pick up and drop them off, and they had to arrange for them to eat and stay in a five-star hotel.

Wait a minute......

What made Han Mingze and the others dumbfounded was that Lin Yangyang gritted his teeth and agreed to everything, completely setting up Han Mingze.

In the end, Han Mingze could only say both true and false: "As an accompanist, our Big Bird Band can accept you, but Xu Kai can't agree to being a music producer." ”

"Although Xu Kai is a little smart, Xu Kai has never attended a professional music school, and he has not been guided by a famous teacher, but he just relied on luck and recklessness to break out of his insignificant fame in the early music circle, how can He De serve as the music producer of the high-end music competition program "Singer"?"

Seeing that "Xu Kai" was still a little self-aware, Lin Yangyang's face was like water, and finally eased a little.

After discussing with "Xu Kai" for a while, seeing that "Xu Kai" was determined not to be a music producer, Lin Yangyang could only ask Ouyang Changlin for instructions again.

Ouyang Changlin thought about it, and then personally called Yang Xinchun and told Yang Xinchun about the situation.

Yang Xinchun mainly wants Xu Kai, and it is good for Xu Kai to be Yang Xindong's music producer, but it is not a big deal if he can't.

So Yang Xinchun said to Ouyang Changlin: "As long as you can sign Xu Kai and arrange for Dongdong and Xu Kai to record songs together, Dongdong will be on your "Singer". ”

Ouyang Changlin immediately told Yang Xinchun's meaning to Lin Yangyang.

Lin Yangyang then accepted all the conditions proposed by "Xu Kai", and asked the finance of the "Singer" program production team to make an advance payment of 1.5 million yuan to the account of Maizi Entertainment.

Things have come to this point, Xiong Zijian and Qi Siyu, who don't know anything except music, are completely confused, while the eccentric Gu Linlin feels that this matter is becoming more and more interesting.

In short, Xiong Zijian, Qi Siyu and Gu Linlin, either passive or active, did not come forward to stop Han Mingze.

And Han Mingze suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that they might be able to make a peach stiff on their behalf, and then they could earn the 5 million, and the worst could also earn the 1.5 million advance.

With this in mind, Han Mingze drafted a temporary contract in the name of Wheat Entertainment - wherever the contract involves individuals, Han Mingze has added the Big Bird Band.

Actually-

In this process, Han Mingze was also worried, he even thought about it, as long as Lin Yangyang raised an objection, he would flip the table and let Lin Yangyang leave.

But I don't know if it's because of lack of experience, or because I didn't suspect the identity of "Xu Kai", or because this is just a draft contract and not a formal contract, anyway, Lin Yangyang didn't see anything wrong with this draft contract until the end, and signed this draft contract on behalf of the "Singer" program production team.

And Han Mingze signed Xu Kai's name under the mission of the ghost and God, and stamped the official seal of Maizi Entertainment.
