Chapter 355: Accepting Disciples
"That's a good relationship, it just so happens that I've been in Yangcheng all this time, when do I go to visit him, and buy some gifts by the way to thank him for helping me before - Brother Liu, I don't violate the company's rules by doing this, right?"
Mu Zhidan clapped his hands and thought of this "good idea", but then looked at his agent again, after all, Jiang Kan is a person who is "enemy Taiwan", and it will be wrong to contact him privately.
"Haha, silly boy, you had a good cooperation with him before he became popular, and this kind of fate is a good opportunity that many singers in the music industry can't envy!"
Liu Pingwei smiled and patted Xiao Mu's shoulder, shook his head and laughed.
The young man still doesn't know how powerful the relationship is, are you begging?
Not only will the company not blame you, but will encourage you to contact him more!
If you can have a better relationship with him, he will write a song for you in the future, and if you don't do it, it will be an instant hit like Wang Yuchang's "Love When You Die", and a song will last a lifetime!
That's really making a lot of money, compared to it, the person who comes into contact with the "enemy Taiwan" is a hairy, and he is not a real enemy!
……
"Commissioner Jiang, the light side replied to us, saying that Mu Zhidan is willing to agree to our request, let you sing this song yourself, and let me convey their sincere greetings to you."
Early the next morning, the little girl Xiang Ping came to Jiang Kan's office with a list of documents, and handed him the other party's authorization letter with surprise and surprise.
"Oh? The singer who was going to sing this song over there turned out to be Mu Zhidan?"
Jiang Kan took the list in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"What, Commissioner Jiang, do you know Mu Zhidan?"
Xiang Ping was also curious about Jiang Kan's reaction, how he seemed to be talking like an acquaintance.
"Ha, have you ever dealt with it once before, have you heard "You Drunk Me"? I wrote it, he sang it."
"Huh? "You Drunk Me" was sung by him? There were so many people who sang the cover that I didn't even notice that the original singer was him!"
Xiao Xiang was also taken aback, she usually boasted of being a gossip queen, and she blamed herself very much that she didn't even know the news, it turned out that Uncle Kan's song was actually sung by Mu Zhidan!
No wonder he gave up so quickly this time, and agreed to the request he made in the morning in the afternoon, without any hesitation!
There is still such a cause in the relationship......
The little girl's gossip knowledge has been enriched a little more, and she can't help but feel more fulfilled in her heart.
"Okay, I'll go and contact Fengming Entertainment and tell them that we've got it done on the side of the light!"
Xiang Ping was about to leave the commissioner's office, but was stopped by Jiang Kan:
"That...... How much did Feng Ming pay for the promotional song that Feng Ming opened for Xiao Mu before?"
"400,000! Then there is a 5% dividend after the song is launched, after all, he is just a very ordinary third-tier singer, but because he has become popular recently and is very popular with young people, the price he gives is slightly higher than that of ordinary third-line."
As the person who originally served as the assistant to the general manager, Xiang Ping is quite familiar with the company's business, and he did not hesitate to answer. ….
"By the way, since it's you singing, will the price be a little less? Why don't I go to Manager An and report to him, do I want to raise the offer a little more?"
Xiang Ping tilted her little head and thought for a while, and suddenly a light bulb appeared in her mind!
"No, no, no, 400,000 is good, it's a bit out of bounds for us to ask for a change of singer this time, after all, someone is Party A...... After this cooperation, there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Jiang Kan shook his head to stop her thoughts, after all, she had already taken advantage of it this time, and it was not good to go to Longwangshu again, if she made people unhappy and resolutely refused, it would be quite unbeautiful.
"Okay, I'll let them know!"
The little girl politely bowed to Jiang Kan, and then withdrew from the commissioner's office
and gently closed the door from the outside.
"Hoo ......"
"The singing cost of 400,000 yuan adds up to 1.2 million, and I can divide it into 8 percent, which is 960,000?"
After taking a sip of hot tea, Jiang Kan silently calculated the harvest in his heart.
"I also have to add the singer's download share after that, it's good, this first order finally got off to a good start."
"But this is only the first order, Lao An will give me eighty percent of the commission when he takes care of me...... And after that? We need to raise the price of the new order as soon as possible!"
After talking to himself, Jiang Kan took another stack of papers on the large desk.
The above are all some of the orders that the company has not completed some time ago, but has been delayed due to manpower, ability and other reasons.
They are all soundtracks for local animation companies or game companies, or promotional songs, theme songs, etc., and the prices are very low, basically between 400,000 and 800,000.
「……」
Jiang Kan was speechless.
He can't take these lists himself, after all, the customization cost of just looking for the system is 500,000, and he will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars for each song based on the previous sharing ratio, which is completely unnecessary.
I had to ask the original composition department of the company to write it.
He picked up the list of personnel from the composition department of the branch that Xiang Ping had provided.
"Well, after two rounds of big poaching, and the usual scattered personnel jumping and turnover, there are still seven employees left in the composition department......
He looked at the list of personnel and introductions, and muttered to himself.
"All of them are ordinary composers who have been in the industry for about three years, and two of them also work as lyricists...... Really, there isn't even a professional lyricist here? Could it be that we rely on these two and temporarily find someone to outsource?"
Jiang Kan rubbed his eyebrows, looking very bitter.
"I feel a little unmoved, if these people can do a good job, they will have done these lists a long time ago, and they won't wait for me to ......."
"No, we need to improve their musical literacy and composition skills! But I'm a half-baked composer myself, how can I improve their composing skills?"
"Ding!"
"In order to solve the current branch dilemma faced by the host, the system has released a new task: [Common Progress]!"
"Task content: In order to prevent the performance of the branch from falling into a trough again when the host leaves after a year, the host should train competent composers to take the lead as soon as possible. Please recruit apprentices (at least two, maximum four) among the branch staff within one year and train them to the level of system approval!" ….
"Because the structure of the human brain is inherently limited, the system will not directly provide music-related skills above the elementary level, and the host itself needs to learn and master them, so the system will temporarily provide an efficient teaching prop "Advanced Composition Instructor Card" for the host to learn quickly and efficiently."
"This item can also be used in the teaching process of the host's training object, but it is only used for seven hours a week, so please cherish the host's use!"
"Mission Reward: One Advanced Composition Instructor Card (Permanent Version)!"
And for each disciple who passes the system review, the host will be rewarded with an additional random reward."
"Oh! I see!"
Jiang Kan clenched his fist with his right hand and hammered it into the palm of his left hand, and his heart was full of enlightenment.
This is the system that has discovered its current predicament and wants to help it solve the problem.
On the one hand, it helps me to improve my musical quality and composition ability.
On the one hand, it is also to cultivate a right-hand man for himself, in order to prevent himself from falling back into the original predicament after leaving the branch.
"Okay, you have taken great pains to increase my influence...... I've taken on this task!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden card with a laughing playing card appeared in front of his eyes in the void.
"Wang Tiancheng, former president of the Modu Conservatory of Music, lifelong honorary president, famous composer, pianist, and educator......
"Oh my God, the system can give me such a big name musician to teach me how to learn?"
Jiang Kan was shocked, this is a great musician in China!
Even Jiang Kan, an ordinary person who has no intersection with music in the first forty years, knows his name!
Now at the age of eighty-five, this big guy is still insisting on teaching in the academy, and there is an open class that ordinary students can come to a week, and an improvement class specially for top students!
He is one of the leading musicians in China, and I am fortunate enough to have seven hours a week to listen to his teachings!
"System, you're really thoughtful!"
Jiang Kan silently gave a thumbs up to the system.
……
Next, things on Xiang Ping's side went very smoothly, since the light side took the initiative to withdraw, it was also very smooth for Fengming Entertainment to agree with Jiang Kan to take over the singing list, after all, Jiang Kan's fame has been so hot recently, don't be a pity.
Manager An is also so happy that he can't close his mouth, Jiang Kan has only been here for a few days, and he has brought back a list of 1.2 million yuan for the company - although he proposed to divide the first order to Jiang Kan, it will be divided into eighty percent, but after all, this list is completed and the branch is also profitable.
And the reputation has also been beaten out all of a sudden: you see, the head office has sent such a powerful general to support us, so you should rest assured that the list will be handed over to us, right?
Originally, under the surprise, Manager An almost slapped the table and said that everyone would have a dinner at the Cantonese restaurant tonight to celebrate, but he was immediately pulled back by the reality that he was still very poor, and did not make such an impulsive decision.
'Well, but still want to celebrate, Xiao Xiang? Oh, forget it, now he's Commissioner Jiang's assistant, and it wouldn't be good if he didn't have something to do with her...... Xiao Li, come here~,....
"Go to the tea below and order a cup of milk tea for every employee of the company! You count what they want to drink on RTX and place an order together, and you say that Commissioner Jiang is a treat to celebrate our first order in three months!"
After careful consideration, Manager An still decided to give this reputation to Jiang Kan, after all, if everyone likes him more, it will be more conducive to his work!
Sure enough, when the milk tea was delivered by their clerk after a while, the huge office area was filled with cheers for Jiang Kan!
"Commissioner Jiang is really interesting enough, he came up and won an order for the company, and invited us to drink milk tea, which is too polite!"
"Not bad, it's still fifteen yuan a cup of milk tea! I myself only dare to drink the five yuan a cup of the tea and milk king, Commissioner Jiang is magnificent!"
"It is worthy of being a genius who can win the first place in "The Good Singer of the Summer Country", it has only been a few days to win such a big list, and he has such a grand treat, it is really heroic!"
……
Jiang Kan himself also got a cup of boba milk tea, and slowly a large cup in his hand was very satisfied.
"Hehe, Manager An is really, so polite......
After drinking a large mouthful of pearls in his mouth, they were fragrant, glutinous and Q-bomb, and full of milk, Jiang Kan nodded with a satisfied smile.
He was also very happy to see that everyone's morale had improved a bit, after all, how can one person row a boat with everyone.
"By the way, Xiaoxiang, has the company reported any training courses for employees, especially those in the composition department?"
Drinking milk tea, Jiang Kan suddenly remembered his mission, so he said to Xiang Ping, who was also holding a cup of Yangzhi nectar, and was drinking happily.
"Training class? No, I've never heard of any lecturers that the company will invite to train employees, is it possible that the headquarters and the Rongcheng branch have them?"
Xiao Xiang asked curiously as he munched on the flesh.
"We don't have it, but we have a headquarters, and we often organize senior composers, or professors and lecturers from partner universities to come to the company for teaching and training......
Jiang Kan only heard about it when he was in the Rongcheng branch, but later asked Zhang Lingling, and she said that there was indeed such a thing, and the headquarters was there
The magic capital also has in-depth cooperation with the conservatory there, so it often comes to teach with some famous teachers, and the number of people who sign up for each class will greatly exceed the rated number, which is unprecedented.
"Oh, that's good, we've never been valued by the headquarters, we don't have any benefits, it's like the headquarters has forgotten about it, alas......
The little girl was happily gulping down her drink while spitting on a sad face.
It's also strange how she showed these two diametrically opposed emotions on the same face at the same time.
After getting along with Jiang Kan in the past few days, she also saw that Jiang Kan had no official frame at all, but was like a kind uncle who got along very well, especially because she was a little girl, and gradually lost the sense of restraint and crampedness that she had when she first met Jiang Kan.
"But now your chance has come."
Jiang Kan put down the milk tea cup, took out a tissue from the toilet paper box on the table, wiped his mouth, and then threw it into the trash can next to him, Zhengse said. ….
"Oh? Is the head office going to send a professor to teach? I'll just say, these people from the composition department of our branch should have gone to further their studies a long time ago, but there is no way or way......
"Xiao Xiang, stop for a while, listen to me first!"
Jiang Kan stopped the little girl from continuing to play, and with the improvement of the relationship between the two in the past few days, he gradually discovered the little girl's words, if you don't stop her, she can keep gossiping with you.
"Okay, Commissioner Jiang, please speak!"
Sure enough, Xiang Ping immediately put the drink in his hand on the glass coffee table next to him, sat up, and waited for Jiang Kan's "instructions".
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Jiang Kan nodded, and returned to a gentle smile.
"That's right, in the past two days, I have learned a lot about the specific situation of our branch, and I have also summarized some methods and ideas for dealing with some specific and pure problems."
"For example, I looked at the qualifications of the staff in our composition department, and they are basically newcomers who have been in the industry for about three years, and the largest list I have ever made is about 500,000, and the low one is only a few hundred thousand, and even seventy or eighty thousand, fifty or sixty thousand mosquito leg lists."
"I think that improving the foundation of our colleagues' musical literacy, especially the basic skills in composition, lyrics and arrangement, is the most important thing for us to do at the moment!"
"Therefore, I plan to gradually select some employees with potential, ability and perseverance in the company to conduct one-on-one individual teaching, so that they can gradually improve their creative skills and become the mainstay of the composition business of the branch."
"To put it simply, I plan to take in a few apprentices and train them well, in case I leave here and go back after a year, and your business level will drop back to the way it was."
"What do you think?"
As soon as Jiang Kan's words fell, Xiang Ping immediately jumped out like a rabbit!
In less than five minutes, Manager An, who was working in the general manager's office in another corner of the floor, immediately followed her out of breath and ran back to Jiang Kan's office!
"Commissioner Jiang, you said that you would select a few of the staff of our composition department as your disciples, and you personally taught them how to compose, compose lyrics and arrange, is it true?"
