Roland is a very good chatter.

If it weren't for Chen Qiming's obvious sense of what his intentions were, Chen Qiming might have regarded him as a confidant.

Chen Qiming is like this, let alone Eminem.

In just a while, Eminem talked to him under Roland's verbal offensive, and he looked like a good friend.

In this regard, although Chen Qiming was vigilant, he did not say anything.

Eminem signed with Starting Point Records though.

But he was also a thinking man.

With the liberal atmosphere in North America, it is impossible for Chen Qiming to prevent him from befriending Roland.

If he interferes at will, it may backfire and cause Eminem's dissatisfaction.

However, Chen Qiming is not afraid that Roland will pry Eminem away.

Eminem signed a ten-year contract with Starting Point Records, and the compensation was as high as 230 million US dollars.

With such a high liquidated damages, let's not talk about whether anyone is willing to help him.

Even if there were, Chen Qiming would be very happy.

Because, his investment in Eminem is less than a few million dollars at best.

This investment, if it can be exchanged for dozens of times the return, he will only be happier.

Moreover, whether Eminem is willing to change jobs is another matter!

Starting Point Records wasn't thin on him.

Although the resources of the starting point may not be comparable to those of large companies in Europe and the United States, no one can compete with him.

If you go to another company, it's different.

Companies like Columbia and Warner have hundreds of singers.

When he joins the past, he means that he has to compete with a lot of people.

He believed that Eminem was a smart man who knew who could give him the greatest help.

"Chen, can we talk alone?"

After talking with Eminem for a while, Roland finally set his eyes on Chen Qiming.

"Of course!" Chen Qiming nodded.

The two of them found a quiet place to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Roland stated his purpose.

"Chen, I'm sure you can see that I'm very optimistic about Eminem and Lincoln Park.

I want to get their contract from you! ”

"How much are you willing to give?"

Linkin Park and Eminem are both future superstars.

Chen Qiming naturally wouldn't let them go casually.

However, if the benefits are sufficient, he is also willing to let go of their contract.

"For $10 million, how about you pack Linkin Park and Eminem for me?"

Chen Qiming's eyes flashed.

He noticed that Roland was talking about me, not Warner Records.

With a sneer in his heart, he had to admit that this guy had a good eye.

actually wanted to sign the two of them over Roland.

Many people think that Roland must represent Warner Records.

Not necessarily.

Characters like Roland, they don't tie themselves to a company.

His relationship with Warner Records is actually the same as Chen Qiming's, which is a partnership.

This relationship is similar to Golden Harvest in Hong Kong and Jackie Chan's Weihe Film and Television.

Roland has his own record label.

His company was responsible for signing artists, then producing records, and finally giving the records to Warner Records for distribution.

This is similar to film production companies and film distribution companies or cinema chains in the film and television industry.

"I was surprised by Mr. Roland's offer, I didn't expect you to take them so seriously.

But ......"

Chen Qiming said, shaking his head, "However, Eminem and Lincoln Park are not for sale!" ”

Roland frowned, thinking that Chen Qiming was too little, and spoke again, "Twelve million dollars."

Chen, I know you didn't invest much in them, 12 million dollars, which is already several times your investment!

No one will make a higher offer than me! ”

Indeed, Roland's offer is definitely high.

In the case of Linkin Park and Eminem are still newcomers who have just sung a song, he pays so much money.

One can imagine how much he wanted them.

Pity......

If Chen Qiming didn't know the future, he would definitely accept this condition with joy now.

It's a pity that he knows the potential of Linkin Park and Eminem.

Especially Lincoln Park.

This began the most recording and best-selling band at the beginning of the new century.

Their record sales are measured in the tens of millions.

And Eminem, he may be a little worse.

But his sales are no less than low.

He never sold less than two or three million copies of a single record.

Combined, the business value created by the two is absolutely unparalleled.

It is no exaggeration to say that whichever company gets one of them will make a lot of money.

This is no joke.

As far as Chen Qiming knows, at the beginning of the next century, the entire record industry will be very shrinking, and many large record companies will choose to merge in the future to reduce expenses.

Warners are an exception to this, not only did they not merge with other labels.

It also began to expand aggressively.

And part of the credit for this comes from Linkin Park.

Since the Lincoln Park fire, the band has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Warners, both directly and indirectly.

It is this money that gives Warner the strength to expand aggressively.

"I'm sorry, but they're really not for sale!"

The $12 million couldn't impress Chen Qiming at all, and he refused without hesitation.

Roland frowned, and finally sighed, "What a pity! ”

It was a pity that he could not get a contract with Eminem at Linkin Park.

Also in pity Warner Records.

You must know that Chester signed with Warner Records.

As a result, after Chen Qiming said hello, Chester was given away by Warner Records for nothing.

However, he also knows that this is not a loss for Warner Records.

If Chast is left at Warner, he wants to come out for a while.

But now after being discovered by Chen Qiming, it is different.

Starting Point Records and Warner are full partners.

The singers of the starting point records are basically handed over to Warner for release in the end.

The two sides can be regarded as half a family......

"If you have an idea to sell their contract, be sure to let me know, I really like them!"

Roland admonished again.

"Yes!" Chen Qiming got up to shake his hand, and then watched him leave the lounge.

"Will he join forces with other Warner Records executives to make small moves?"

Liu Ciwei came out of nowhere, looked at Roland's back and asked.

"Nope! He can't do it either! Although he works for Warner Records, I am also a partner of Warner Records.

Our record releases are basically all done by Warners, including records from Linkin Park and Eminem.

As long as Warner is not stupid, he will not allow Roland to dig into the corner.

Left-handed to right-handed wouldn't do Warner any good, and probably offend me for it.

If you offend me and start to move to another company, it's not good for Warner Records! ”

Chen Qiming is not worried about Warner Records' release at all.

Roland's shot represents himself.

Warner is a partner with the starting point.

The starting point of the record is that they are releasing it.

They are stupid to offend Chen Qiming for the sake of Roland.

After all, even if Linkin Park and Eminem were signed by Roland.

Warner is not the same in the end, but only gets the right to publish.

"I'll go get ready! It's time for me to play, and I don't know if these spectators will accept me after being bombed by Eminem and Linkin Park! ”

Chen Qiming looked at the time.

Halfway through the concert, half an hour has passed since the show at Linkin Park.

It won't be a few minutes before you play on your own.

To tell the truth, Chen Qiming is still under a lot of pressure.

It's all about singing new songs.

If your song is not as good as Linkin Park and Eminem, then your face will be disgraced!
