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

Chapter 12
Li Kai didn't get angry, and he didn't walk away.

Buying and selling songs is a transaction. They have no friendship with each other. They are purely for their own interests. If you are allowed to lower the price to death, you are not allowed to raise the price?
Is the price of 1 yuan high?For the song itself, it is not at all, and it is greatly underestimated, but for Li Kai's status as a newcomer, it is ridiculously high!
Li Kai didn't think that the other party would really approve it, and it wasn't out of anger, but a kind of negotiation calculation, raising the other party's psychological price, and shattering the other party's idea of ​​bullying him as a newcomer, all foreshadowing.

Now that the other party is getting angry and unilaterally declaring that the negotiation has failed, this is the moment they have been waiting for. Next, it is time to reveal the real price. Whether it is successful or not, it is a one-shot deal!

Li Kai was silent for a moment, took a breath, and said slowly: "Director Ni, can you see if this works? It's still the guarantee I mentioned just now. If the first title song is really difficult, I can accept the second title song. In terms of price, it’s still the same sentence, no money will be taken.”

According to industry practice, after the release of the album, the first title song will account for [-]% to [-]% of the promotional resources, and the second title song will account for about [-]%. No matter how golden the song is, it will also sink into the sea.

Li Kai delivered the song as a stepping stone to pave the way for his debut. Compared with selling it for a good price, he valued the opportunity of promotion and publicity more. How can you be stingy with promotion and publicity?
Right now, it is obviously impossible to have both the fish and the bear's paw, so he simply discards the fish, and the bear's paw does not need a large portion, just a small portion is fine.

This is his bottom line!

In fact, this requirement is indeed not high. There are very few albums in the industry that select a newcomer's work as the title song. As the second title song, there are many precedents.

But there is a premise that the singer or producer likes the song very much.

However, Ni Houdao didn't think much of the golden song "Short Hair". He shook his head and sneered, pointing to the contract in front of Li Kai and said: "The albums of singers under Medi Records are all made with a lot of money. The first and second title songs It must be the work of a big name in the industry. Don’t even think about adding additional clauses to the contract. The only thing that can relax you is the price. I’ll add you to 500 yuan. This is the limit. I can guarantee that other record companies will never give it. If you still think this price is low, then we can only cooperate again next time."

After finishing speaking, he leaned back and looked at Li Kai indifferently, with an expression of no room for discussion.

"Director Ni, Assistant Hua, goodbye." Li Kai looked at him for three seconds, a self-mockery flashed across his mouth, he shrugged casually, and left.

After Li Kai left, Ni Houdao left the conference room with a grimace, and the female assistant followed behind him, not daring to let out a breath, walked through a long corridor, pushed open the door of a recording studio, and heard a frustrated female voice from inside. : "I have cut my hair short, I have cut off my concern, I have cut off the branches that are not loved all over the place, long and short, short and long, I am struggling inch by inch"

Ni Houdao recognized the lyrics of "Short Hair", feeling restless, stopped with a low drink, and waved to the band: "You guys go out first."

Ni Houdao is the producer of this album. As soon as he spoke, everyone said nothing. The music stopped, the singing stopped, and the musicians obediently left the room.

Ni Houdao glanced at the female singer behind the microphone, and said firmly: "Let's play the song you sang, and pick another song for the new album."

Jiang Shanlan was slightly taken aback. She had already finished recording eight songs for her new album. It was because she was dissatisfied with the other candidate songs that she spent two full days picking out two songs from the hundreds of songs submitted by the company. "Short Hair" is one of them, and it is also her favorite song, even surpassing the previous eight recorded songs.

But right now, Ni Houdao wants to give up.

She said anxiously: "Brother Ni, why? Didn't you contact the original author to come here today?"

"He's already been here, and I've talked to him, do you know how outrageous he is?"

When Ni Houdao mentioned Li Kai, he became furious: "The price is 1 yuan, or as the title song of your new album, a fart is not a newcomer, why? Huh?"

Jiang Shanlan was choked to death. The asking price of 1 yuan for a newcomer's work without any achievements is indeed a bit outrageous. As for the first title song of her album, the big boss used her contacts to spend 4 yuan from a well-known artist in the industry. Even Ni Houdao has no right to replace it if the songwriter bought it.

"Stop thinking about it, choose another one, and settle it before six o'clock this afternoon."

Ni Houdao impatiently waved his hand and was about to turn around and go out. Jiang Shanshan gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Ni, can't we make a compromise and give him the highest price for the works of our company's newcomers, and then serve as my newcomer's work?" The second title track from the album."

It's okay not to mention this suggestion, but mentioning it is equivalent to touching Ni Houdao's backlash.

On the side, the assistant Hua Xiaoyue's face changed slightly.

Ni Houdao paused, squinted his eyes and said, "The highest price for a newcomer's work, so far, is the song "Sad Rain" in Tao Liang's first album, the price is [-]."

Jiang Shanlan didn't realize that Ni Houdao's tone was wrong, and then said, "That was the price two years ago, and now the prices of the works of songwriters in the industry are generally doubled, why don't we offer [-]?"

Ni Houdao's eyes narrowed a little deeper: "Now the industry's newcomer's works are capped at [-], [-] is four times the capped price, and it will be the second title song of the album, Shan Lan, do you know what this means?"

After a pause, Ni Houdao's tone suddenly became harsher: "This means that the works of other musicians in the album are suppressed by the works of a newcomer. If the song becomes popular and the album sells well, everything is easy to say. But if the grades are mediocre, the company will offend those people, and it will not be so easy to make an appointment with them next time, it is easy for you to slap your head, have you ever thought about how to explain to the company?"

"There are rules for everything, and there is a price for making exceptions. Since you are so optimistic about this song, okay, I will draw a line for you. The sales volume in the first month is 20 copies. For every 1 copies lower, your sales will be deducted." One point, if the sales are less than 14, and the sales share will be zero, your business performance in the second half of the year, the company and your share will be changed from June [-]th to [-]rd, as long as you nod, then do as you want, I will immediately replace You chase people back."

As he spoke, his eyes became sharper.

Jiang Shan's expression was tangled, as if she was really considering whether to agree or not, Hua Xiaoyue hurried over and tugged at the corner of her clothes, winking desperately.
