Chapter 174: Original Sin
Zhang Rong has indeed heard of the conditions for Meng Wen and Liu Qian's cooperation, some say that Meng Wen wants 1 million for a song, some say that Meng Wen asks for half of all the profits, and some say that Meng Wen asks all the network profits to go to him. Although it is all gossip, there is one thing that can be proven, that is, Meng Wen's requirements are definitely high, not a little bit, otherwise the company would not have delayed for several days and did not agree. Now Zhang Rong doesn't know that the company has agreed to Meng Wen's conditions.
Although Zhang Rong and Liu Qian are both newcomers in the music industry, Zhang Rong never dares to compare herself with Liu Qian. When Liu Qian became famous, she was still in high school. Since Meng Wen and Liu Qian can put forward such ruthless conditions, for a newcomer like herself, Zhang Rong can't imagine what harsh conditions Meng Wen will put forward.
Zhang Rong is worried that the company will be dragged by the company again because of Meng Wenti's too high requirements, and she will be dragged by the company like Liu Qian. Liu Qian was dragged away, but Liu Qian was not afraid, because Meng Wen was cooperating with her, and she couldn't run. But my own situation is different, this is purely a pie in the sky, after this village there is no such shop, now I don't follow, if I want it in the future, I guess I have to rob it with others.
Now the company belongs to the state of more wolves and less meat, wolves are singers, and meat is of course a good song. I don't know the news yet, but Zhang Rong absolutely believes that if she doesn't finalize the matter of singing with Director Zhao in Director Zhao's office now. The fact that he left the office would spread all over the company, and he was thinking about singing, at least Xu Huixin would definitely compete with him.
Therefore, in order to seize this opportunity, Zhang Rong even saved bargaining and directly proposed not to take a commission. In Zhang Rong's view, fame is more important than money at this stage.
Zhao Xinming was very satisfied with Zhang Rong's knowledge, although Zhang Rong said not to mention it, but Zhao Xinming still gave Zhang Rong a 10% commission. If she really doesn't give it at all, although Zhang Rong will still thank herself now, but if she becomes famous in the future, when she thinks of today's events, she will definitely have a pimple in her heart, maybe one day it will be a seizure.
As the saying goes, stay a line and see each other in the future. There is also a sentence not to bully young people into poverty. If you want to mix well in the entertainment industry and mix for a long time, these two sentences must be understood.
After Zhao Xinming finished talking to Zhang Rong, he asked Zhang Rong to hurry back and follow the previous lyrics, carefully figure out and practice, and strive to record the song completely and perfectly before the evening. This recording can't be as casual as noon, noon is in a hurry, and it's just an audition, so although it is equally important, there are also limitations.
This time is different, this time it was really taken out for the national audience. Before, newcomers like Zhang Rong were all covering other people's songs, but this is the first time someone has given her an original song, and it is such a good song, no matter how important it is. According to Zhao Xinming's requirements, he strives to sing the best and strive to become popular. Zhang Rong also knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by. If you can't be popular this time, it will be difficult to encounter this good thing next time.
Zhang Rong hurried out to rehearse, and Zhao Xinming himself began to worry about the next publicity of "Song of the Pig". Originally, according to Zhao Xinming's assumption, the company would concentrate resources on promoting Liu Qian's upcoming "Sweet Honey" in the past few days, but now there is another "Song of the Pig", and if the arrangement is not good, there will be a situation where their own people pinch each other.
And the trouble is that "Song of the Pig" must also be released and promoted as soon as possible. At noon, Zhao Xinming made a audition, although he selected a satisfactory singer. But it also made many people in the company know the whole song in advance. Meng Wen said that this song was to make his friend happy. Zhao Xinming didn't pay attention to secrecy, anyway, it was not commercial in nature, and without Meng Wen's authorization, others would not dare to steal it.
But now it's different, now Meng Wen has licensed the song to the company, and let Zhang Rong sing it, although the rest of the company also dare not blatantly steal it to sing it himself. But I can't stand someone making trouble, this kind of thing happens from time to time in the entertainment industry, I am not popular and I don't want others to be popular, jealousy is the biggest original sin in the entertainment industry. It's better if someone really messes with it and leaks the content of the song to the Internet in advance. The most feared thing is that there are professionals who will adapt it based on this song and become their own, and it will be impossible to say when the time comes.
That's why Zhao Xinming will be nerve-wracking, "Song of the Pig" is urgent to promote immediately, but "Sweet Honey" has already started to prepare yesterday, just waiting for Liu Qian to finish recording and release.
In the end, Zhao Xinming thought about it and decided to discuss with Liu Qian and postpone Liu Qian's "Sweet Honey" a little later, after all, this song is currently in a better state of confidentiality, although many people in the company know that there is this song, but the only people who really listen to it are themselves and Liu Qian's assistants.
Zhao Xinming did not ask the assistant to find Liu Qian to see him this time, in order to show respect, Zhao Xinming went to Liu Qian's office in person, but was told that Liu Qian was in the practice room, and hurried to the practice room.
Zhao Xinming arrived at the practice room, and Liu Qian was rehearsing "Sweet Honey". Liu Qian has worked hard this time, striving to interpret "Sweet Honey" to perfection. Now many people are skeptical of Liu Qian's cross-industry mixed music circle, and at the same time, they are more critical of characters like Liu Qian, which Liu Qian can understand. Similarly, people in the music industry who want to mix movies and television will also be skeptical and more critical. But understanding is understanding, Liu Qian is just not convinced, this time Liu Qian is like telling everyone through guò "Sweet Honey", I can do it.
So Liu Qian has been practicing non-stop since she received the song yesterday, and Liu Qian is not allowed to appear in her songs even if there is a trace of regret.
After Liu Qian finished practicing, Zhao Xinming stepped forward and asked with concern: "Xiaoqian, I heard that you have been in the practice room all day, that's not okay, pay attention to your body." ”
"It's okay, I'll take care of it myself. Director Zhao is there something wrong with me?" Liu Qian took the mineral water handed by the assistant, took a sip and said.
"Ah, it's a little trivial, I plan to postpone the release of "Sweet Honey" for a few days, what do you think?" Zhao Xinming said with some embarrassment.
"Delay for a few days, why. Is there something wrong with the song?" asked Liu Qian puzzled.
"No, no, don't get me wrong, that's what happened. Then Zhao Xinming told Liu Qian the news that Meng Wen gave "Song of the Pig" to Zhang Rong, and also told his worries.
"Well, that's fine. It just so happens that I always feel that this song is a little flawed, and I need time to practice more. Liu Qian agreed. Liu Qian still has a good sense of Zhang Rong's little girl, and she is happy that she can get this opportunity.
