From elementary school music teacher to superstar
Chapter 57 No room for negotiation
Chapter 57 No room for negotiation
Maggie Records, Chen Changhai's office.
"Yes, I'm in the company."
"What did Lu Xin say? Oh, you've already returned to Shangjing, and you're almost there? Well, let's talk about it when you come, okay, okay, don't worry, take it easy."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Changhai frowned and sighed softly.
I'm afraid it's not good news.
If Lu Xin agreed, Ling Xue should have said it directly on the phone, and wouldn't have to meet to talk about it.
But maybe it's Lu Xin who made some difficult request, so it's hard to say on the phone?
Chen Changhai thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason, so he just smiled and shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, Lingxue will be there later, and it will be clear when she asks.
He lit a cigarette and took a puff. After thinking about it, he walked to the window and opened it, so he stood there and smoked.
He secretly laughed at himself for being so impatient that he hadn't gone through a storm.
But he also knew that it couldn't be her fault, it was because Ling Xue's album was so amazing this time.
When the third week's sales came out yesterday, he was determined, knowing that this EP might make history, and the total sales would definitely exceed 1000 million yuan.
Reach Gold Disc data.
Chen Changhai has already figured it out, even if the EP cannot be selected as a gold record, he will hold a celebration party for Ling Xue after breaking through 1000 million.
He wants to let all the record companies in Shanghai know that his Maggie Records has sold a gold record through an EP album priced at 5 yuan.
As for where this achievement came from, Ling Xue naturally contributed the most, but the song provided by Lu Xin was more important.
Therefore, Chen Changhai really wanted to sign Lu Xin so that the magical combination created by Lu Xin and Ling Xue could continue.
Perhaps in the future, there will be more surprises for him.
Wait, when Ling Xue comes back, if Lu Xin really made the request, as long as it is not too much, he will agree.
But when Ling Xue finally arrived at the office and told him about what happened on the trip to Beimeng City and told him that Lu Xin would not join any record company for the time being, Chen Changhai frowned immediately.
Hearing the news that Lu Xin would only sell singing rights after selling songs, he thought he had heard it wrong.
"Are you sure Lu Xin said it himself?"
Knowing that it was impossible for Ling Xue to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, he still worried about asking again.
Ling Xue nodded, "Sure."
"It's just... crazy!"
Chen Changhai spread his hands in shock, "How is this possible?"
In all the years he's been in the record label business, he's never seen anything like this.
The record company does not own the copyright of the song, but only the singing right, so what happens when the singer's contract expires.
Does this song have nothing to do with the company?
No record company would do such a thing.
Seeing Chen Changhai's reaction, Lingxue's heart skipped a beat, but she still spoke carefully: "Mr. Chen, I think..."
"Don't think about it, Ling Xue, this is impossible."
Chen Changhai directly interrupted, Ling Xue wanted to cooperate with Lu Xin for the next album, he knew it, but if it was this kind of cooperation method, how could he agree.
Ling Xue said anxiously: "Mr. Chen, what Lu Xin means is that the company's singing rights can be guaranteed, and commercial performances can be included in the contract. Of course, there will be a year limit requirement.
If the company agrees, he can only charge a small portion of the points, I calculated, maybe the company will earn more than before..."
Chen Changhai waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to continue, then shook his head with a smile.
Although he didn't know what confidence Lu Xin had to dare to do this, he was now convinced that this young man really wanted to do it.
It's ridiculous.
There are too many talented people in the music world, and no one dares to have such a greedy idea.
Seeing what Ling Xue wanted to say, he said: "I know what you want to say, yes, if the song is good enough, the album sales are high, and he doesn't ask for much, the company may make more money than the previous model. There are more."
The follow-up income of the song is mainly the use of others, and the edition fee paid by places such as KTV.
Sometimes, some songs will be re-recorded later, and a new album will be released to earn part of the money.
For the vast majority of songs, these follow-up incomes are actually not too much.
"But you don't know, it can't just be about the money."
Chen Changhai continued, "If Maggie does this and agrees to Lu Xin's request, it will be an enemy of the entire music industry and will be boycotted by all record companies."
"So, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Lingxue, tell me, how do I treat you? You have to be considerate of my difficulties."
Ling Xue opened her mouth, and suddenly felt that there was no way to say this, and she didn't know how to speak.
"So, isn't our "Notepad" off the shelves yet? You have released two albums in a row recently, take a break first.
There is no rush for the new album, wait for a while to watch, maybe Lu Xin will change his mind?Can you see it? "
Chen Changhai finally said.
"Ok."
Ling Xue nodded. In fact, she already knew that this request would be difficult for Chen Changhai to accept.
Next, she talked about Lu Xin's release of a nursery rhyme album, and said that the reason was for a student.
Chen Changhai quickly agreed to this matter, and agreed to release it under the name of Maggie Records, and also waived the 5 to 10 commissions that Lu Xin wanted to give.
The two chatted a few more words about the celebration party, and Ling Xue bid farewell and left.
When Chen Changhai was left alone in the office, he picked up his cell phone and dialed out.
"Hey, Old Zhao, if someone asks about Lu Xin, you just say that he doesn't want to join any record company for the time being. Well, don't say that he is going to sign a contract with Maggie."
Ling Xue said that someone from Tianle Records approached her, and the news that Lu Xin only sells singing rights may spread soon.
At this time, it is better for Maggie not to venture into this muddy water.
As for the promise that he would release an album of nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes, not many copies of nursery rhymes will be sold, and not many people will pay attention to it, but it is harmless.
It can be regarded as keeping a friendliness and saving it for later meeting to talk.
…………
It was noon when Ling Xue called, and Lu Xin had just left school.
Zhang Jiaqi must be temporarily unable to attend class now, so he simply asked Zhang Ruoxi to ask for two days off.
Help Zhang Jiaqi practice singing at home.
So in the morning music class from grades [-] to [-], he was in charge.
It will still be like this in the afternoon.
I heard Lingxue express depressedly that the matter was not done.
Lu Xin thought it was a nursery rhyme album that didn't work out, but later found out it wasn't.
But Ling Xue's own plan to invite songs had to be temporarily suspended, because Chen Changhai did not agree to only buy the right to sing.
Lu Xin smiled and comforted her, and the two hung up the phone.
"Since they are not optimistic, let's talk about album sales."
Putting the phone away, Lu Xin frowned and whispered to himself.
Recently, many new friends have come to Twitter, but I still remember the old IDs from the past, who often sent me recommendation tickets, which made me very encouraged, thank you, but remember to continue to support me!Thank you for the book coins rewarded by the magic card. The boss has rewarded me several times, thank you very much.
