Chapter 103: It's a pity not to be an actor!
After nearly half an hour, Chen Qi finally stopped what he was doing.
"That's how it should be here. Chen Qi pointed to a certain node on the score and hummed softly.
Xu Man also hummed, and then nodded slightly, as if he also noticed that the modified effect was obviously better.
"And here. ”
"Here. ”
"Here. ”
Chen Qi pointed to the position on the score and hummed his ideal effect.
After pointing out all the problems, Xu Man's production team quickly made changes.
They had already received Xu Man's instructions, and Chen Qi sang this song as he said he wanted, and he said that he would change it wherever he wanted!
Therefore, after hearing Chen Qi's revisions, the production team did not raise any objections and was very cooperative.
After the revision, Xu Man sang it again.
For Chen Qi, this version feels obviously much better than the previous version, but he always feels that there are still some flaws in his pursuit of perfection.
So, change it again, sing it again.
Third Edition!
Fourth Edition!
Fifth Edition!
After hearing the effect of the sixth edition, Chen Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This version is finally the same as the Earth version!
Feeling busy for a long time, he looked at the time and couldn't help but be startled.
Before you know it, it's late at night!
Looking at Xu Man and the others again, in addition to excitement or excitement on their faces, they couldn't even see even the slightest bit of exhaustion.
They're really excited right now!
Not to mention anything else, as professionals in the music industry, they can clearly feel that Chen Qi's revised version is getting better and better!
What's more, it's been a long time since they've produced a song of this quality.
After listening to Chen Qi's version revised six times, they also had great expectations for this song.
"It's so late?" Xu Man, who saw the time, was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, that's all for today, let's go back." ”
Her production team responded and left with some unfinished business.
"I've got to go, too. Chen Qi also stood up.
"I'll arrange for someone to send you back. Xu Man said.
"No, no, no, I'll just take a taxi back. Chen Qi hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "How will you arrange it tomorrow?"
"Go talk to the music platform about cooperation. ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Chen Qi didn't say anything more, and walked away directly.
......
The next day.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Qi came to Xu Man's studio again and followed her to a music platform called Jiujiu.
Last night, he also had a serious understanding of the world's music market.
Like the earth, in this world, almost every large Internet company has a music website under its own, and the scale and investment are not small.
According to the information he found last night, the market share occupied by the top five music websites is not much different, and the competition between them is quite fierce.
Now Xu Man is going to a giant website called Jiujiu Music.
Chen Qi was also curious to ask her why she chose this one, and Xu Man said that she signed a two-year cooperation contract with this music website.
Within two years, as long as it is a new song she sings, they will have the right of first refusal.
In exchange, the 99 concert gave her a lot of promotion and publicity resources.
For some reason, when talking about these so-called propaganda resources, Xu Man had a trace of sarcasm and sneers on his face.
Chen Qi looked at her puzzled, wanting to gossip but didn't know how to speak.
Xu Man stopped looking at his desire to speak, and didn't know whether she felt that she was in the same camp as Chen Qi now or for some other reason, she briefly talked about her contradiction with Jiujiu Music.
It turned out that after the unexpected failure of the last song, Jiujiu Music, which had invested a lot in the promotion and publicity of this song, wanted her to compensate for part of the promotion fee on the grounds of huge losses.
But because it was clearly written in the contract that she was responsible for providing the content, and Jiujiu Music was responsible for promotion and publicity, she refused.
may also know that his reasons are very untenable, and this matter will not be resolved in the end. But their original happy relationship faded like this.
They haven't been in touch since that song.
"......" Hearing her tell such a little-known past, Chen Qi was also a little dumbfounded, and said incomprehensibly: "Since you have all made such a fuss, what are you still going to do with them?"
"We have two months left on our contract, and I can't get around them in those two months. I can't wait another two months, can I? I want you, and I'm afraid you won't. ”
Chen Qi looked at her with some amusement and asked, "So what is the point of you telling me about that incident just now?"
Xu Man smiled and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, this cooperation can't be discussed." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Qi looked at her blankly.
Xu Man didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you just wait to see a good show." ”
Chen Qi squinted at her, but didn't ask any more questions.
More than 40 minutes later, Xu Man's car drove into a building with 99 music written on it.
After getting out of the car, Chen Qi followed her like an assistant.
It has been written in their contract that he is only involved in the production, and he is not involved in the details of cooperation with the platform.
The reason why he came with him was purely to see more of the world.
After a while, they were led by the staff to the office of Xiao Hang, the general manager of Jiujiu Music.
"Director Xiao!"
"Miss Xu!"
The two shook hands very politely, not at all like they had a holiday.
Chen Qi, who was standing on the side, saw this scene in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
It's kind of interesting!
After a simple politeness, Xu Man also clarified his intention.
"You're going to release a new song again?" After hearing Xu Man's intention, Xiao Hang showed a look of surprise on his face, and he didn't know if he was a real accident or a fake accident.
"yes, I got someone to write a song, and I feel good about it. ”
"Someone else's writing?
"A newcomer, this is the first song she has written!"
"Newcomer?" Xiao Hang subconsciously frowned, but soon stretched out again and asked, "Is it written?"
"It's written, but I don't think I'm very satisfied, and it's still being revised. Director Xiao, what I mean by coming here today is that I want the company to arrange the promotion and publicity first, and I plan to release it next week. If you have a new song, I'll pass it on to you when it's made later. When he said these words, Xu Man was very excited.
"Released next week?"
"Hmm. ”
Xiao Hang glanced at her thoughtfully, bowed his head and said nothing.
Xu Man looked at him with a very blank gaze.
Chen Qi, who was standing on the side, watched her performance quietly, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
It's a pity not to act!
After pondering for a while, Xiao Hang spoke: "There is no big problem with publicity and promotion, but before we prepare, we have to add an additional clause." ”
"Additional terms?" Xu Man was slightly stunned and said, "What additional terms?"
Xiao Hang smiled and said: "If the results of your song do not meet our expectations, then the cost of its promotion and publicity will have to be borne by yourself." ”
"What did you say?" Xu Man looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Actually, I can't help it. Xiao Hang sighed heavily, looked at her with an embarrassed face and said, "You also know that the music market is too sluggish now, and the performance pressure on me is also very great." ”
"But weren't the terms of our cooperation written a long time ago? You want to break the contract?" Xu Man was a little angry.
"It's serious, it's serious. Xiao Hang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the contract we signed just said that we Jiujiu Music have the right of first refusal, right?
Xu Man looked at him with complicated eyes, and the excitement on his face had long since disappeared.
"Of course, if you are not satisfied with the terms I just proposed, you can also go to other companies to cooperate. Xiao Hang had a fake smile on his face that made people annoyed when he saw it, "But I have to remind you that under the premise of today's cold music market winter, other platforms may not be willing to cooperate with you, after all, your previous song was too demoralizing." ”
Xu Manfu laughed out loud and said with some emotion: "Director Xiao, are you too realistic?"
"No way, we are businessmen, and we will definitely not do anything that we know will lose money. ”
"What if this song makes money?"
Xiao Hang smiled but said nothing.
Obviously, he doesn't think so.
The last song was written by Xu Man himself, but it didn't make any waves, how good can the song written by a newcomer be now?
He seriously doubted that Xu Man was able to watch his popularity drop sharply, and he was a little sick and rushed to the doctor!
Xu Man looked at him and said with some bitterness: "Director Xiao, you haven't even listened to my song." ”
"It doesn't matter. Xiao Hang waved his hand, spread it out and said: "Miss Xu, I know that your current situation is a little embarrassing, and I also know that you are very eager to write another good song to turn over, but it's not that I underestimate you, this possibility is too low." ”
"You're even exaggerating to the point of going to some newcomers who have never set foot in the industry to buy songs, and in my opinion, you're a typical rush to the doctor. You're gambling. Xiao Hang looked down at her with a condescending gaze and said, "You are already panicking." ”
Xu Man lowered his head and did not speak, looking decadent after being hit.
After a long while, she slowly raised her head and laughed at herself: "Director Xiao, your analysis is very reasonable, in fact, I should be a little self-aware, and I shouldn't trouble you again." ”
Xiao Hang smiled, but didn't answer her words.
"Alas......" Xu let out a long sigh and said, "Since Director Xiao is so unoptimistic, then we should not be reluctant to cooperate, lest we lose money later, and Director Xiao will not be able to explain to the above." ”
"Hehe, thank you Miss Xu for your understanding. ”
"In that case, I have to trouble Director Xiao to give me a written statement canceling this cooperation. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Hang was obviously stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You still want to continue?"
Xu Man smiled and said helplessly: "The song has already been written by someone, and the money has been paid, so you have to try it." Otherwise, it's too much of a loss. ”
