After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 190 The album fee dispute
Li opened his eyes and looked at him: "The private 20 has already been given?"

Ni Houdao smiled wryly, acquiescing.

Li Kai also smiled wryly, pressing his temples with both hands, rubbing his two fingers lightly, looking troubled.

The atmosphere was so cold.

At this time, the waiter brought a plate of stir-fry and a plate of spicy fish. Li Kai had already eaten a bowl of wontons at noon and was already hungry. Eat first."

Ni Houdao and Jiang Shanlan obviously had no appetite, especially Jiang Shanlan, who only took a few sips of a can of coconut milk and simply picked up a few chopsticks, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Kai's feasting.

After eating for about half an hour, Jiang Shanlan got up and went to the bathroom, Li Kai suddenly stopped chopsticks and said, "20, did you pay for it?"

This question was a bit abrupt, Ni Houdao was chewing a piece of fish meat, his throat rolled, and he swallowed it directly. Fortunately, there were no bone spurs, which frightened him quite a bit. He looked at Li Kai silently, and then nodded.

Li Jian looked at him and said, "20 yuan, don't talk about Nanshi, just take the average salary of Shenzhen City. It takes six or seven years for a migrant worker to earn it. You should tell me honestly if you don't eat or drink. In the past, apart from your superiors and subordinates, Is there another layer of relationship?"

Ni Houdao was so choked that his face turned dark: "Am I that kind of person?"

After all, after thinking about it again, it's no wonder that Li Kai would be so skeptical. There are many such things in society, not to mention the entertainment industry, so he explained: "I didn't give the money for free. I lent it to her. She I will take [-]% of the future income, until the principal and interest are paid off."

At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but sighed, and a bitter look appeared on his face.

Li Kai's work was blocked, how could Time Records pay a third-tier singer another million liquidated damages, his 20 lost sea miles would not be enough, if the matter was not done, the private money would be refunded, this is a kind of rivers and lakes rules, the other party I dare not return it.

However, if you eat the meat in your mouth and then spit it out, the other party will definitely feel resentful. There is nothing to do with him, but you can spread it on Jiang Shanlan's head. In this way, instead of helping Jiang Shanlan, it will hurt her.

After a moment of silence, Ni Houdao suddenly said: "Can you do this? You and I will go to Qiao Li together. Shan Lan owes the company a million liquidated damages. In the future, the album will be shared, and the commercial performance will be paid back bit by bit. You can do it for her." Guaranteed, if she doesn't make it, it will be on me."

Obviously, he also knew that this request was a bit difficult, and his tone was a bit difficult, hope and anxiety coexisted in his eyes, but seeing Li Kai slowly shaking his head, his expression darkened.

However, the next moment, Li opened his mouth and said, "I'll listen to her sing a few words later, and then I'll talk about it."

Ni Houdao's eyes flickered slightly, and he responded.

After Jiang Shanlan came back, Ni Houdao asked her to sing a song for Li Kai. Jiang Shanlan didn't refuse, but after thinking about it, she sang: "When I was a ignorant girl, when I met love and didn't understand love, from the past Until now, until he leaves too"

She sang the work "Girl Waving Wings" by Li Kai. Her voice was different from Xu Qiaoling's, very clear and clear, with a girl's unique squeamishness, but not pretentious.

The voice condition and singing skills are not particularly outstanding, but they are not bad either. Among professional singers, they can be regarded as mid-range, or even a little higher.

After she finished singing, Li Kai didn't comment, but thought for a while, then looked at Ni Houdao, and said, "There are four first-tier record companies in Shenzhen City, except Time Records, and there are three more. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will bring Shanlan to the door one by one. As my producer, talk to someone who can make a decision, and say that I agree to write a title song for each of Shanlan's two albums, on the condition that Shanlan pay millions of liquidated damages."

Ni Houdao was taken aback, opened his mouth to speak, and Li waved his hands: "This is the only way I can think of right now, you just treat it as an interview, the three companies in Shenzhen can't do it, and then go to the magic city, even the magic city, then go to the capital. "

Ni Houdao closed his mouth dumbly, was silent for a while, and said hesitantly, "Then should I talk to Qiao Li first?"

Li Kai shook his head decisively: "Time Records is not a good choice."

Ni Houdao was silent again, and after a while, his eyes narrowed, he nodded and said, "Okay, do as you said."

on Monday.

Mr. Ren has not returned from his business trip, and the high-level regular meeting was canceled. Qiao Li's secretary notified that the regular department meeting is on time at 10:30!

Ni Houdao did not enter the company. At [-]:[-], Li Kai came out of the vocal practice room, accompanied by Xiao Ping and Su Ting, and came to the meeting room talking and laughing.

Almost everyone has come, and everyone is talking about something, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Xiao Ping attended the regular meeting for the first time. Seeing that the first two seats to the left of the chief seat were vacant, she walked over directly, but she heard Li Kai say, "Sister Xiao, this is Sister Ning's seat. I and you are in the same seat." There."

Xiao Ping was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help being a little puzzled. Li Kai pointed to the end of the row.

As an agent, she is very clear about some default rules in the workplace. With Li Kai's singer rank, even if he is temporarily second-tier on the surface, he should sit in front of Lu Bin. How could he fall into a corner?

But doubts are doubts, she will naturally not bring it up on the current occasion, and walk towards the last few vacancies as Li Kai pointed out.

As soon as the three of Li Kai and the others sat down, Asu looked over, with a look of joy in his eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, thanks to your reminder, otherwise I would have fallen into the pit."

Li Kai was a little confused.

Tan Guangyue came over and said, "Be honest, Wang Shaofen usually releases films in April, how do you know she will be earlier this time?"

Li suddenly realized that Wang Shaofen is the number one female Cantonese singer in the domestic music scene, if Ah Su released the film according to the original plan, she would collide with Wang Shaofen.

This week is the same period, and even next week, two-thirds of the piracy protection period will overlap.

"I learned a little bit of physiognomy from a master when I was young, and I calculated it with my fingers."

Tan Guangyue gave Li Kai a look that would be strange if he believed you.

Not entangled with this topic anymore, Li Kai listened to the audience's exchange, and only then did he realize that they were discussing the total cost of Deng Yaxuan's album.

Deng Yaxuan was originally a young queen, a first-tier mid-upstream, transferred here, the company clearly favored it, raised it up, the first-line top-tier standard, this is reasonable.

But when they heard that Gong Rihong revealed a real number, 110 million, everyone was still surprised, with more or less envy and embarrassment in their expressions.

"Sister Ning's album this time also costs 110 million." Chen Qian said with a sigh.

"It seems to be a million." Lin Yue was a little surprised.

Chen Qian shook her head lightly: "It starts from one million, and then the company approved another 10."

Gong Rihong said indifferently: "110 million is not enough at all. For Yaxuan's album, just one, two and three hits cost 50."

Everyone was shocked, and Chen Qian said in shock: "It seems that the works of the big names in the circle are only 20 a piece."

Gong Rihong interrupted: "Generally, the works of big names are shared. You said 20, which is the starting price for a buyout. Yaxuan's albums, the first and second albums are all big names, and the third one is Zhongkading. Streaming work."

As soon as these words came out, the conference room was instantly silent, and everyone's eyes drifted to Li Kai involuntarily.

Li Kai was a little baffled, and slapped the sky haha.

Gong Rihong snapped her fingers and said, "Three songs cost 50 yuan, other songs cost 10 yuan, and the recording fee is 10 yuan, so 70 yuan is gone. If it is 110 million yuan, there is still 40 yuan for publicity fees, 40 yuan for publicity fees , for such a high-quality album, do you think it’s a little less?”

Everyone is silent, how can they answer this?
"Sister Ning's publicity expenses seem to be around 80 yuan." In the end, it was Chen Qian who answered.

Guan Siliang frowned and said, "It seems that there are not so many."

Huang Xiaotian laughed: "Even if there is no 80, there must be at least 70."

Just as they were talking, Qiao Li and the secretary walked in one after the other, the discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were cast on the past.

Qiao Li sat in the main seat, looked around inertially, and was about to push away the folder when Gong Rihong suddenly said, "Mr. Qiao, I went back yesterday, and I did the math again. Yaxuan's album fee, 110 million is too tight. , I don't have too many demands, as long as the promotion fee is 80 yuan, which is the same as Ning Lan's."

Regarding Deng Yaxuan's album fee, Gong Rihong went to her office to discuss it twice yesterday morning and afternoon, it can be said that it was not very pleasant!

Qiao Li didn't let go, yes, Deng Yaxuan brought songs, two works by famous artists, and one top-notch work by Chinese artists, talking about Gong Rihong's 50, 80, 100 million, which is not outrageous.

But you have as many hats as you want. Besides, if the cost is really not enough, and the singer likes the song, it is common in the circle to pay for it out of pocket.

Didn't Tan Guangyue, including Ning Lan, promise Li Kai's share from his own singer's share?
Of course, with her shrewdness, she also vaguely guessed that Gong Rihong's request to increase the total cost of the album was not just to increase the total cost of the album by more than 20 yuan, but to suppress Ning Lan!
This is even more unacceptable to her.

At least so far, Deng Yaxuan is not qualified to surpass Ning Lan.

"As for the album fee, come to my office to discuss after the meeting." Qiao Li's tone was flat, but there was a sense of irresistibility.

Lu Bin and Ning Lan had joined forces once before. At the meeting, they pretended to point their swords at Ni Houdao and Su Ting, and actually fought for the album fee. In the end, she took a step back and satisfied their demands.

Right now, Gong Rihong seems to be doing the same thing, but for Qiao Li, this kind of thing can't be done again, besides, it happens from time to time.

Back then, Lu Bing and Ning Lan were the number one male and female singers under her command, so she couldn't be too forceful, but now, she has a cloud of elite troops, a total of five first- and second-tier singers, so there is no need to have some scruples!

Gong Rihong didn't give up: "Mr. Qiao, Yaxuan's album will be approved in just a couple of days. I went to you twice yesterday, and after I went back, I thought about it all night. I was also anxious, and I felt it was unfair. , why Ning Lan's publicity fee is 80 million, and Yaxuan is only 40, the gap is too big."

After a short pause, he quickly said: "You said that the singer took a fancy to a good song and gave his share to the songwriter. This is indeed common in the circle, but Yaxuan's situation is quite special. To tell you the truth, three songs Ge, the price of 50 is definitely a friendly price, for which Yaxuan still owes a favor, so I can't let Yaxuan pay for the 50."

It cannot be said that this is completely unreasonable. After all, the album is very popular, and the company benefits the most. The singer bears part of the cost. This is an attitude. It is unreasonable for the company not to subsidize it.

Qiao Li's black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was about to say something, when she glanced at the folder in front of her out of the corner of her eye, her black eyebrows relaxed, and she said with a calm expression: "Okay, according to the meeting procedure, first announce the sales list, and then I will say something Department matters, we will leave some time at the end to discuss Yaxuan's album fee."

When she said that, Gong Rihong couldn't say anything more, so she nodded.

Qiao Li pushed away the folder, glanced at it, and said, "Last week's sales list, No. 287312, Murphy's album "Deep with Love", sold [-]."

No one was surprised that Murphy was the first, but it was about 5 more than the first week, approaching 30, which still made everyone sigh.

No loss is the number one female singer in the Chinese music scene today!
Even Deng Yaxuan raised her eyebrows, sighed in her heart, and couldn't bring up much desire to fight.

Qiao Li continued: "Second, Li Kai's album "New Era" sold 201723 copies."

After four and a half weeks, the 20 mark was still maintained. Although everyone was prepared, they were still a little surprised to hear this result.

Qiao Li said again: "Third, Liu Mingliang's album "Love Fire" sold 172839 copies."

It has fallen by more than [-]% and less than [-]% from last week. This seems to everyone to be quite normal.

"Fourth, Zhao Yongkang's new album "Rendering" has a sales volume of 118323."

Zhao Yongkang's album was released for five days in the first week, with a sales volume of nearly 12, surpassing the average level of the first-line top streamers, but he himself is a quasi-king, and everyone was not surprised.

Qiao Li paused, and said again: "Fifth, Ning Lan's new album "Conquer", sold 109283 copies."
