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

Chapter 282 Semi-finished products, finished products
From March to the present, there are seven new singers under Time Records who have released singles, five of them have not reached the 10 passing mark in the past three months.

The newly appointed music director, Ge Guangqi, first set fire to these five people.

Contract termination!

Immediately afterwards, a departmental meeting was held to announce that the department was too overstuffed and the number of singers would be greatly reduced to about one-third.

This made people panic, especially the second-tier and below singers whose contract period was less than one year.

In the afternoon, Li Kai and Tan Guangyue were exercising in the gym, when Asu and Huang Xiaotian walked in, both of them were a little downcast.

Seeing their appearance, Tan Guangyue joked, "What's the matter, one is broken in love, and the other lost money playing mahjong?"

Huang Xiaotian said bitterly: "I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't know how to play mahjong. I can't even lose money if I want to lose love."

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "Boss Qiao talked to me and Asu just now, and is going to sell us."

Tan Guangyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and said in surprise: "Is it going to let you transfer?"

Asu nodded: "My debut album's performance is too poor, and it has not yet reached 20 sales, and the contract period with the company is less than one year."

Without going on, there was a look of depression on his face, and the meaning was already very clear.

Tan Guangyue doesn't know how to comfort her. The music industry is like this. Big-name singers, popular singers, and singers with potential are the targets of competition from major record companies. The existence of throwing back and forth between record companies.

After chatting for a few more words, Huang Xiaotian and Asu went to the treadmill.

When they walked away, Tan Guangyue turned her head to look at Li Kai, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "They must be thinking that you can write a song for them, but they are too embarrassed to say so."

Li took a look at him, and said bluntly: "If you open your mouth, I will refuse."

After all, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "First, their voice conditions are relatively average, and second, their relationship with each other is not so good."

Tan Guangyue was silent for a few seconds, then nodded in understanding.

After get off work, Li Kai came to the studio and went directly to Su Ting's office.

Same as last time, Su Ting has already ordered takeaway, and the two sat in the sofa area, chatting while eating.

"Feng Zhihao has confirmed the transfer, and the other agency's agency has contacted me. They will come over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to discuss in detail. You Xiaoxia and Liu Susu have also confirmed the transfer. In addition, Brother Ni said that during the two days of rehearsals of Jiurui Group A little absent-minded, I feel that there is a possibility that someone will poach them, but they haven't made a final decision yet."

Su Ting put down the lunch box after only a few mouthfuls, apparently without any appetite.

I had already heard about these situations from Su Ting on the phone. Li Kai looked calm, seeing Su Ting's heavy heart, smiled, and took the initiative to serve her a bowl of soup.

"It's not just a few singers transferring. This is very normal in the industry. The contract between them and the studio is just a contract. If they break the contract, they will have to pay a liquidated damages, and the studio will not lose money."

Hearing what Li Kai said so lightly, Su Ting was a little speechless: "Their singles were made with a lot of money. The studio gave an extra 40 yuan for the promotion fee alone, not counting the twelve concerts in three weeks for them." Guests."

After a pause, he sighed and said, "Except for the share and contract period, everything else in their contract is in accordance with the standards in the circle. The liquidated damages for the three newcomers are only 300 million, and Feng Zhihao's liquidated damages are only 400 million."

From Su Ting's tone, Li Kai heard a trace of resentment, and understood where the resentment came from.

At the beginning, when Su Ting was chasing investment in the records of the four of Feng Zhihao, Su Ting had a layer of worry. She suggested whether to raise the liquidated damages part of the contract, but Li Kai rejected it.

Because it's against the rules.

But today's facts prove that Su Ting's worries are right.

Which is more important, actual interests or rules?I believe that most people will still prefer the former.

And those who obey the rules too much, especially those who just tacitly obey the rules, will be regarded as the benevolence of women.

"You, you still only see the immediate benefits. As I said, you should take a long-term view."

Hearing what Li Kai said, Su Ting's eyes flickered slightly, a little confused.

Li Kai also served himself a bowl of soup, took a sip in a leisurely manner, and said slowly: "I ask you, if you decided to invest in their records at that time, and you proposed to increase the contract liquidated damages, I agree. Alright, how much are you going to mention?"

Su Ting thought for a while and replied, "One million."

Li Kai nodded silently. This number is quite realistic. If Su Ting said 200 million or more, she would be talking nonsense. The standard for liquidated damages for third-tier top singers is only 500 million!
"Have you ever thought that raising the 100 million will cause the singer to lose all gratitude to the studio and become a pure exchange of benefits."

Li Kaidao: "In that case, as long as there are companies poaching corners and offering them more favorable conditions, they will choose to transfer without hesitation, and in the current situation, it is not only Feng Zhihao, who is young and charming, but also wants to change jobs." Plus Jiurui combination, Ade."

As he said that, he changed the subject again: "Even if the four of them didn't change jobs this time because of the increase in liquidated damages, what about the next album? After the next album is released, they will undoubtedly transfer. Is it possible, you Are you still going to continue to increase the liquidated damages, or deliberately skimp on the album fee?"

"Right now they are half-finished products, and after the first album is released, they will be finished products. Rather than a transfer, would you rather have it happen during the half-finished product, or wait until the finished product?"

Su Ting digested in silence for a while, revealing a dazed expression.

Seeing Li Kai looking at her with playful eyes, Su Ting looked a little embarrassed, lowered her head and took two sips of soup to cover it up.

After a while, Su Ting raised her head again, with a look of worry in her eyes: "But there is a practical problem right now, that is the concert, Feng Zhihao, the transfer of Youth Charm, the agreement has been initialed at the concert, if If the contract is breached, the liquidated damages will come second, the key is to cooperate with the performer for the first time, and the credibility has been compromised, so we will cooperate next time."

Li shook his head, and said with a determined face: "Why did you breach the contract? Didn't you say that the initialed agreement only has the number of performances, and there is no confirmed singer?"

"Yes!" Su Ting nodded: "But, only Ade is left, and it is not sure whether the Jiurui group will transfer. Two groups of tours, six places and twelve shows, how to do it?"

Li opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Isn't there still three people in Dayun? Their records have already been recorded, and they were originally going to release the film in mid-August. Now it's brought up. Well, it's too late this week, or it will be scheduled for next week." Weekly post."
