Chapter 236: People's Hearts

The human heart is a very strange thing, which cannot be grasped or touched.

When Qi Jie went back and forth among the major record companies in Shuntianfu, trying to find a more suitable company to release on her behalf, although the major record companies seemed to see a piece of fat, Qi Jie was very polite, but almost every one of them They all have the posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, not only talking to you slowly, without rushing at all, but also treating you extremely harshly, and refusing to give in at all.

But Qi Jie had just disappeared for a short week, and everyone couldn't sit still immediately.

What does the distribution rights of Liao Liao's new album mean to any record company with mature distribution channels?

That is a profit of tens of millions that is almost certain to be secured!

Even with conservative calculations, no matter how poorly Liao Liao's new album sells, based on the reputation she has accumulated in the past two years and her appeal among fans, she can sell five or six million copies. Already a profit of around 10 million!

Even if all the expenses are deducted, the net profit alone is at least six to eight million!

What's more, Liao Liao's new album probably sold more than five or six million copies! What if it sells eight million copies? What about 10 million copies? How much is that?

So, what if we can sign the rights to release three or even five future albums of Li Qian's studio at one go?

That's a lot of money!

Even for the three powerful giants such as Sony, Huage and Cinda, there may be as many as ten or even twenty singers under their banners, and the various musicians, managers, staff, etc. under the company, as few as dozens , as many as one or two hundred, but calculated throughout the year, its net profit is only around 20 to 30 million!

But now, with an agency contract, one can easily get one year's net profit under normal circumstances. For other record companies, it may even be two years or even more... Who can't be tempted?

Therefore, when Qi Jie suddenly disappeared, and even many people started to find some unreliable reasons to call, only to find that even her mobile phone was turned off, they suddenly became anxious.

Before a week had passed, people had already started to find Li Qian's studio one after another.

Some people got straight to the point and said that they hoped to see Mr. Qi. The issue of the contract was not completely unnegotiable.

Others were more straightforward and directly sent a new quotation contract, hoping to have an interview with Mr. Qi.

Li Qian didn't care about this at all, not to mention that he didn't have time, even if he had time, he didn't understand it. To be honest, he also hated these intrigues and penny-pinching in shopping malls. However, Qi Jie had already made overall arrangements before leaving the house, and Lu Fan, the distribution manager who stayed behind, was in charge of receiving these people.

Accept all new offers, and reject all meeting requests.

In a word, Mr. Qi has some personal matters. He has gone home and will not be in Beijing for the time being. Everything will be discussed after she comes back.

Regarding Li Qian's studio's album release rights, Chen Changsheng was undoubtedly the first to act, and in fact, his quotation and conditions can also be said to be the best. Of course, no matter how good the conditions are, in business terms, What he did was only slightly lighter than other companies, and he still stood at the angle of wanting to eat a piece of meat from Li Qian's studio.

Therefore, even though he also became anxious, and even found the studio in person, and even called Liao Liao specially, the treatment he received was at best Liao Liao chatting with him for a few days. No other record company is any different.

... ... ...

Huage Records, General Manager Office.

Sitting behind the desk, Huang Dazhong asked with surprise: "Are you sure? Is it really May?"

The person standing in front of his desk at this moment is the producer of Wu Xing Wu Su's new album "Look at the Boy Opposite", that is, Sun Xueming, the deputy manager of the Huage Records Production Department who was sent by Huang Dazhong to steal his teacher.

Du Xiaoming is the helm of Huage Records in music production, so he is naturally trusted by Huang Dazhong, but his trust in Du Xiaoming is limited to some superficial matters and some private matters, Huang Dazhong obviously trusts him more This Sun Xueming who was single-handedly promoted by himself.

At this moment, Sun Xueming also had a smile on his face, and said slowly: "It must be true! I found this news after going around two detours. It comes from inside Li Qian's studio. It is absolutely unmistakable!"

Huang Dazhong nodded, went back and sat down steadily, twirling his fingers lightly, muttering to himself, "May...May...well, Liao Liao, who should be afraid of, let alone hide Who is it! Only others can hide from her!"

But when he muttered here, he couldn't help but raised his head and asked: "If their plan is to go public in May, well, even if it's late May, then now, some publicity plans, including the recording of the record, the inside pages and the cover. It's time to start printing! What's more, their distribution contract hasn't been signed yet! They don't even have a distribution channel, so what's the use of just setting a release date? But why, the time is already so tight, that Qi Jie... ...Are you actually leaving Shuntian Mansion? And because of a personal matter?"

Sun Xueming hesitated for a moment, and said, "I was wondering too, so I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and it suddenly occurred to me, you said, could it be Sony or Cinda who have been working with Li Qian secretly without telling us? Did you sign the contract?"

Huang Dazhong frowned when he heard this, and asked in a questioning tone, "Sony? Xinda?"

After a while, he slowly shook his head and said with certainty: "Probably not!"

While speaking, he stood up, took two steps, stopped, and said, "If it's signed to Sony and Xinda, then they don't need to hide anything at all. Even if it's Sony, according to Xie Mingyuan's usual method, I'm afraid that Liao Liao's new album has already started to go to the factory, maybe the pre-promotion has already started, it is impossible for us not to get the slightest news. Moreover, at this critical moment, there is still a month to go , Liao Liao's new album is about to be released, Qi Jie, who is in charge of this area in Li Qian's studio, must be busy around the time, and it is even more impossible to leave for seven or eight days because of a personal matter. Silhouette!"

After a pause, he walked to the sofa and sat down, then shook his head again, "It's not right, it's definitely not right! Although I haven't met Li Qian, I have dealt with each other a few times. I understand that he has always been unscrupulous in his actions, and his personality is even more perverse and arrogant. If Sony or Xinda is settled, he will absolutely disdain to cover up or hide anything, so there will definitely be some rumors."

Sun Xueming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help retorting: "But as far as I know, on their side, Qi Jie has always been in charge of making decisions on such matters. Li Qian is still in school, so time is tight. As long as you go to the studio, you must be making music and making albums, and Qi Jie is responsible for these things from the beginning to the end!"

Huang Dazhong looked up at him, sneered, and said with some disdain: "Li Qian is the boss! Liao Liao is also his biggest singer, and this is the first album of their studio, success or failure is very important! You Do you think that if you were the boss, you would completely delegate power to a Chinese teacher? Would anyone be the boss and face such an important matter, and would completely let go? Just go back and continue reading his photography?”

After a pause, he sneered and said, "Let me tell you, there are no such stupid bosses in this world! Because such bosses are either paid to death or cheated to death! And Li Qian, as far as I know, is not Such a stupid person! That Qi Jie, don't look at her jumping around happily, in fact, she is just a marionette of Li Qian, just a puppet put on the front desk! The real idea must be Li Qian came to get it! Besides, she is just a teacher of Chinese, but what is the matter now? How big is it? This is Liao Liao's new album, tens of millions of business! Her? Can she do it?"

Sun Xueming nodded slowly when he heard the words, "That makes sense! To operate such a large plate, that girl is indeed a little young! It is said that when their studio was first established, she made a lot of jokes So much so that Li Qian was very dissatisfied with the discipline of the studio, so he was furious! It is conceivable that such a girl who has no level, no ability, should be just a show!"

Huang Dazhong nodded, pondered for a moment, but frowned again, "But...it shouldn't be!"

Sun Xueming blinked his eyes and asked, "Mr. Huang said you shouldn't...what do you mean you shouldn't?"

Huang Dazhong looked at him when he heard the words, and said: "I have asked someone to call me to say that the conditions can be discussed again, but there is no response from them at all? This..."

Sun Xueming thought for a while, and said: "You said, could it be that there is still a grudge? So, even if we are willing to raise the conditions, but Sony and Cinda don't raise the conditions, he will not choose us?"

Huang Dazhong looked at him, "Hold grudges?"

After a pause, he came to his senses and said, "You mean we snatched the soundtrack of that TV series from them?"

Sun Xueming nodded, but after a while, Huang Dazhong shook his head and said with certainty: "No!"

Then, he explained: "Don't look at my evaluation of Li Qian, but he is quite smart. He knows when to play his temper and when not to! Like now, the business of tens of millions Ah, why did he, Li Qian, open his own studio? And why did he poach both Liao Liao and He Runqing? In order to dig He Runqing, not only his relationship with Sony is probably dead, but also the signing fee is probably not Spend less! Otherwise, He Runqing will stay well at Sony, and would rather break up with Sony and go to his broken studio that just opened and doesn't want anything?"

"Then think about it, since Li Qian spent so much money to sign Liao Liao and He Runqing successively, isn't he just rushing to make money? If he doesn't make money, he is willing to spend money to recruit He Runqing? If you want to earn money, how can you not earn money? In business, if there is competition, there will be winners and losers. What’s the matter? Didn’t he ask us for 16% before! Only business venting? So, I am very relieved about this, as long as our conditions are better than Sony and Xinda, a smart person like him will not let more money go!"

Sun Xueming nodded slowly when he heard the words, but couldn't help but said: "Then now?"

Huang Dazhong thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I'm not afraid of anything else now, but I'm afraid that the kid will ask Chen Changsheng to publish it for him. At that time, this big piece of fat will fall into Chen Changsheng's mouth! But... Looking at it now, Chen Changsheng has little hope! Didn't you say yesterday that Chen Changsheng also ran over there in a hurry? That proves that he hasn't taken it yet!"

Sun Xueming nodded again.

But at this time, very suddenly, the phone on Huang Dazhong's desk rang suddenly. Huang Dazhong frowned, stood up and looked over there, and found that it was the phone inside, so he quickly got up and walked over, took the Pick up the microphone.

But immediately, his eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help saying: "Did you see Qi Jie? Where is it? Are you sure it's her? Did you admit it?...Nanchang Prefecture Airport? She... She didn't go back to her hometown to deal with private matters Isn’t she from Jinan Prefecture? What did she go to Nanchang for?...What? Say it again?...Is the information correct?"

After a while, he slowly put down the phone, narrowed his eyes, and looked murderous.

Sun Xueming looked at him with a puzzled expression.

After a while, Huang Dazhong glanced at him, gritted his teeth resentfully, and said, "Old Zhou said he saw that Qi Jie at the Nanchangfu airport, and then he called the dealer in Nanchangfu a few times to ask, The news is basically confirmed to be all right, that Qi Jie is going to Nanchang Mansion to run and release! Moreover, Lao Zhou sent someone to follow them for a while, and saw the waiting room she entered with his own eyes. It is confirmed that her next stop is Changsha House!"

Sun Xueming was astonished when he heard this.

But Huang Dazhong couldn't help but slammed his fist on the table, and said bitterly: "It seems that I still underestimated that kid, he actually wants to publish by himself?"

After a while, she couldn't tell whether she was disdainful or puzzled. She sneered, waving her arms, and said, "Is he a fool? He really wants to publish by himself? How could he do it by himself?"

At this time, Sun Xueming didn't dare to speak anymore, but just stood aside with his head down.

Huang Dazhong slumped down on the boss chair, his face full of resentment and resentment.

However, after a while, he suddenly stood up again, stared fiercely at Sun Xueming, and said, "Old Sun, are you sure they didn't place an order for Sony and Cinda?"

Sun Xueming thought for a while, then nodded solemnly, "Probably not! Liao Liao's new album must be ready for at least three to five million copies. With such a big list, it is impossible for any factory to hide it. Airtight!"

Huang Dazhong nodded, but after a while, he said: "Then check it out for me! I want to know which factory they handed over the production contract to! Anyway, there are only a few factories in Shuntian Prefecture and even the whole country, so it must not be difficult. Find out! Since they want to release it themselves, according to their release plan, it is less than a month before Liao Liao's new album is released. Even if they didn't do it before, they will definitely send this album to the factory to record it now! "

After a pause, he looked at Sun Xueming, and said in a deep voice: "Old Sun, find out, and then copy the master tape of their album, and find a way to get it out for me!"

Sun Xueming nodded first, but when he heard the next two sentences, his eyes widened involuntarily.

"Mr. Huang, this...isn't appropriate? If this kind of thing gets out, it will not only be boycotted by the entire industry, but it will also be against the law!"

Huang Dazhong glanced at him when he heard the words, with a sneer on his face, "Resist? We are Huage! Who are we afraid of boycotting? Besides, you should do it yourself, you know what I know! How could it be leaked?"

Sun Xueming heard the words and dared not speak.

And Huang Dazhong already had a sneer on his face, and said bitterly: "This kid really thinks that he can rise up if he has a little musical talent? Well, then I will let him know that in the mall, his little musical talent is nothing !"
