Chapter 31 The First Single Creation of a Foreign Company, Kara (Ask for Collection!!) )
(PS: The new book needs everyone's support, ask for collection, ask for collection, ask for collection!! )
After Li Yu returned from Jeju Island, Li Yu's life in Seoul became very satisfying. Because the boy's 'fire' has a place to release, instead of using the five girls to solve the worries.
Yang Ji-won, Park Kyung-ri, both of them have very good figures. Especially Park Jingli is tall and tall, and she is not the kind of thin person, so Li Yu gets a lot of satisfaction. Especially in the sea view room in Jeju Island, the happiness with her when facing the sea is pleasant and enjoyable.
Li Yu and them are not lovers, and Yang Zhiyuan, as a member of the preparatory girl group, it is impossible for her to tell others that she is in love. Park Jingli knew that Li Yu was a trainee, so she didn't let Li Yu give a clear explanation. So Li Yu hovered between the two of them very smoothly.
This weekend, I called Yang Zhiyuan out for a big dinner, and next weekend, I will go to enjoy the night view with Park Jingli and have a little romance. And they didn't have any doubts about Li Yu about the frequency of seeing each other only once a week. Because he is a trainee, and he made it very clear to Park Jingli that he should put more experience on his debut, rather than in love.
After all, Park Jingli is also a person who wants to mix in the entertainment industry, so she is not forced to confirm a relationship with Li Yu, in fact, she is not clear about her and Li Yu.
One day in May, Li Yu was called by the company's planning department, Li Yu sat in the conference room, and a staff member of the planning department found Li Yu and said: "Li Yuxi, there is a company that has recently offered a very good price, and wants you to tailor a song for their girl group?" I don't know, do you have this interest here? ”
It's not so much about interest, but more about asking Li Yu if she has the ability to tailor songs for other girl groups. The task this time is completely different from those ordinary production songs, and it is to create a song that is in line with the positioning of the girl group.
That is, because it is tailor-made, the other party gives a relatively high price. The production cost of the song is 30 million won, and Li Yu can get half of the follow-up share, whether it is the sale of physical albums or the sales of music sources.
The reason why people are willing to come up with such a high interest in the negotiation is that the song you create for others must be guaranteed to win one when they are on stage!
Li Yu looked at the people in the planning department and said, "Who? What about the price of the contract? ”
"DSP, formerly Crystal Boys, Lee Hyori and their combination company. The price they gave was very good, 40% of the album, and 30% of the total revenue was from the sound source. ”
When Li Yu listened to the oversized price code offered by the other party, Li Yu's eyes widened and said, "DSP, it's crazy over there, right?" Give the sound source 30%? In addition to the forty percent of the income deducted by the platform, what are they left with? ”
It is equivalent to saying that the company over there has divided the revenue part of the largest income, the music source, the selection and the songwriter equally.
The planning department laughed when he heard Li Yu's words: "What's left?" There's a lot left, and if you really give them a hot song, the next summer's festivals, events, and even TV shows... They have to earn all of this. If they can really become popular, they will use artists to earn more in the future, so don't look at the big price now, but if they really buy a hit song, then they will make money in the long run. ”
Li Yu nodded, yes, although they made a big decision this time and spent a lot of money to buy a song that made their girl group popular, maybe even if they didn't make any money on the music source this time, Li Yu couldn't share the money from various commercial performances after the girl group became popular, and even their future.
Li Yu said at this time: "DSP... You can't say 'Kara', right? ”
"Oh? You know their girl group. Their girl group hasn't had a good time lately, and local TV programs are participating. The last time I watched a Go show at home, there was actually their girl group participating. ”
Go program, this is a niche program that can't be in a niche. Appearing in such a show is basically only enough to earn a car and horse fee, but they can have activities for their own group... I still chose to take it.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, tell them, I took it?" However, I'll have to meet with 'Kara' first and find something that fits them. ”
Hearing Li Yu agree so readily, the people from the planning department immediately reminded Li Yu: "Well, let's talk about it first, there is a stipulation in the contract that if you can't get one of the songs you give 'Kara', then the creation fee will be refunded in full, which is equivalent to writing songs for them for free." ”
Li Yu nodded and said, "Well, I have confidence." One, for sure, can be taken down. ”
"Okay, then I'll contact the DSP right away. You wait a while. ”
.......
Ten minutes later, someone from the planning department came in, and he was still holding a brown paper bag in his hand: "Li Yuxi, you take the contract and go downstairs." The company has arranged for a broker to take you to the 'DSP'. They told you to meet 'Kara' today. ”
Listening to going today, Li Yu said suspiciously: "So urgent? ”
The person from the planning department smiled: "What do you say?" ”
"Okay, then I'll go today." Li Yu went downstairs with the contract, and today because there was a nanny car to take Li Yu downstairs, he went out from the gate, and the vehicle was also waiting at the gate.
It just so happened that the scene when Li Yu got into the car was seen by Pei Zhuhyun and Jiang Shiqi, who went out for lunch. Bae Joo-hyun said: "Hey, why did Li Yu get into the company's nanny car?" ”
Shiqi shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, Li Yu is different from us." ”
Bae Joo-hyun could only nod and say, "It's a little different." ”
Li Yu took the contract and came to the company where Lee Hyori used to work, DSP, and after the absence of Lee Hyori and the Crystal Boy, the company's performance can be said to have plummeted. In addition, the girl group created now has not made any improvement in the market. Their boss is also in a hurry.
The company's vehicle entered the parking garage and was questioned by the security here, and learned that it was the 'S.M' company, and the security guard called to obtain a notice of release.
When watching Li Yu's car enter the garage, the security personnel said suspiciously: "Why did S.M's nanny car come here?" ”
got out of the car, Li Yu walked upstairs with the agent, and the one who was in charge of Li Yu's 'itinerary' today was not the agent who was specifically responsible for Li Yu, but the agent in charge of Lin Yuner's personal itinerary in Girls' Generation, but Lin Yuner had no personal itinerary today, so he temporarily took Li Yu to DSP and completed the signing by the way.
When I went up from the underground garage, the people from the company were already waiting for the two of them at the staircase of the upper floor. Yes, because the DSP is a three-story building with no elevator. Even if it's an underground garage, you can only walk upstairs.
The person in charge of the DSP, when he saw Li Yu, first saw Li Yu's appearance, and he sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's 'S.M' style." ”
There is a so-called 'S.M' style in South Korea, that is, there is no 'Kang Dae-sung' among the trainees. Each one of them is a handsome guy and a beautiful girl.
Although Li Yu's appearance has been circulating on the Internet for a while, the person in charge of the DSP met Li Yu for the first time today, and Li Yu greeted with a smile: "Hello. I'm Li Yu from 'S.M'. ”
The person in charge here responded with a smile: "Hello, Li Yuxi, this time our company's girl group will ask you." I hope you can come up with a song like "Gee". ”
Li Yu immediately said: "If you want to think about 'nine consecutive championships', I can't help it." ”
The person in charge laughed: "Hahaha, this is for sure, we only need to get one of two different TV stations." ”
Everyone knows that it is impossible to replicate the 'Nine Consecutive Championships'.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Take one place, this is what I can do." But nine consecutive championships, then I can't replicate it. Can you take me to get to know 'Kara'? ”
"Okay, come with me."
The person in charge here took Li Yu to the practice room of 'Kara', and on the way, the person in charge here asked: "Li Yuxi, your music creation talent is very good, S.M, I am really lucky to meet you, have you studied music since childhood?" ”
Li Yu looked at the person in charge here very strangely and said, "Eh, how do you know that I studied music since I was a child?" ”
"When I was interviewed by Girls' Generation, I said that you are a musical genius, you know a variety of instruments, and you have been exposed to music since you were a child."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Oh." I usually practice and rarely watch TV shows or anything. ”
"With your ability, isn't your company planning to arrange your debut?"
Li Yu said: "In addition to creative talent, I still need to practice. In the future, there will definitely be a day when I stand on the stage, and I hope to be perfect when I stand on the stage. Instead of singing or dancing, it looks a little better. ”
"Hahaha, you're talking funny. Here's Kara's practice room, let's go inside. ”
The person in charge pushed open Kara's practice room. Sitting on the floor resting, the 'Kara' people looked at the artistic director of the music who followed them and the boy who came in. It may be a problem of angle, they didn't recognize Li Yu at the first time.
At this time, their director said: "This is S.M's contracted creator, and this time I came here to create a song for you, Li Yuxi." ”
When listening to the name 'Li Yu', Kara's eyes lit up, because after the explosion of Girls' Generation and SUJU, the name Li Yu still had a few days to log in to the news page of the media.
They all know that 'Li Yu' is S. M's genius trainees, as well as creators, but they are a little puzzled about what happened to Li Yu, a person from another company?
