Chapter 346 This Is Going Crazy!

Zhou Mo was already very popular, but now she is even more popular. However, her contract with Sony Records has ended in theory, and what the other party has now is just the right of priority.

Therefore, if other companies are willing to offer a price that Sony is unwilling to follow, it means that the right of priority is invalidated, and Zhou Mo can change employers at any time.

Dongguan Bookstore sold more than 27,000 copies in the first week of listing, and it has a great super reputation among professional music critics and ordinary fans. Zhou Mo has always been a topic queen, unique and ethereal voice, The slanted Wenqing's small qualifications, coupled with her personal good looks...all of these make Zhou Mo the absolute queen that every record company wants to sign immediately.

In particular, judging from the fact that Zhou Mo went to Sony Records before, it seems that she does not have to go to Minghu Culture.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zou Wenhuai received quotations from various companies.

What surprised Li Qian was that after receiving the offer, they immediately reported the news to Qi Jie—it seems that Qi Jie and Zou Wenhuai had a really good chat recently!

It's just...Xinda?

That was Zhou Mo's old club.

At this time, Qi Jie didn't care that the sound engineer was still there, so she stretched out a slap and shook, "This number." After a pause, she said with some surprise in her tone, "Thirty songs, fifty million !"

"Hey!"

Before Li Qian could speak this time, Liao Liao couldn't help but yelled in surprise, "Xinda...you're so ruthless!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this, reached out his hand to grab his chin, and rubbed it.

What is still fresh in my memory is that when Liao Liao's "The Sound of the Waves Still" was finished, the contract between Liao Liao and Changsheng Records was about to end. Xie Mingyuan once offered Liao Liao 40 songs for 30 million yuan on behalf of Sony Records. The quotation - although later, when he asked Li Qian and Liao Liao to meet, he repeatedly emphasized that the price was still negotiable, but it is conceivable that at that time, this price could already represent their company's internal relationship with Liao Liao. Liao's position is fixed.

That's right, that's it, the price represents the positioning.

And you must know that at that time, although Liao Liao had only just released two albums, and her qualifications were still a bit weak, both "Liao Liao" and "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" were all sold well. At that time, she had already begun to be crowned by many media. With the title of "National Queen".

It can be said that although the current Zhou Mo suddenly climbed a big step, she is no better than Liao Liaohong at that time. Even if Zhou Mo's "Witch's Tears" can still maintain the current strength in the next few weeks of sales, her influence and status in the music world will at best be equal to that of Liao Liao at the time.

However, thirty songs, fifty million!

No wonder Qi Jie was so surprised, this price is really...somewhat crazy!

Not to mention, in the industry, Cinda has always been known for being stingy!

They are very good at discovering newcomers and cultivating newcomers. They can always select newcomers with the potential to become popular from the vast crowd, and then cultivate them, and they will become popular smoothly. But because of their stinginess, they can't keep themselves from cultivating them future superstars. In ten years, Zhao Xinfu, He Runqing, Zhou Mo... all left one after another.

Moreover, it is said that Huang Yuqing is also having a contract dispute with Xinda recently.

Obviously, based on past experience, Huang Yuqing has just become popular for two years, and Xinda can't keep it anymore.

So now...how could Xinda be so willing to spend money all of a sudden?

is something happened?

At this moment, Qi Jie shook her head slightly, and said: "I was shocked when I heard the news, and Zou Wenhuai's voice on the phone, he should also be very surprised... If this contract is signed, this It immediately became the highest buyout price in the industry. Absolutely sky-high price! But the problem is..."

"The problem is..." Liao Liao took up the conversation before she finished speaking, and said in a slightly puzzled way: "Can Xinda make money by spending such a large sum of money to buy her thirty songs?"

After a pause, she frowned, and said: "Her album is indeed selling well, but we all know how much profit the album will make, even if Zhou Mo's album sells 10 million copies, Has it reached the peak? How much is the real net profit? Fifteen million? Eighteen million?" At this point, she asked again: "By the way, Zou Wenhuai didn't say anything, what did the broker say? They are Didn't you ask to sign a brokerage contract at the same time?"

Qi Jie nodded and said, "Industry practice, 50-50."

The sound engineer was a little slow to react, and it was only now that he realized that the bosses were discussing some industry secrets, so he quickly stood up, "Mr. Li, Mr. Qi, Sister Liao, let's talk. " Then he was about to run outside, but Li Qian called him to stop him, saying: "No need, I'm off work, you pack up, sort out the recording just now, and then go back to rest. Let's continue recording tomorrow!"

While speaking, he called Qi Jie and Liao Liao to go out.

It was already midnight, only Wei Lan was still guarding Liao Liao's deputy director's office, other than that, the company's office area was already pitch black.

The three of them ran to Li Qian's office and sat down before Liao Liao finally asked, "Didn't you say there is Sony? What price did they offer?"

Qi Jie replied in response: "Just as I was about to talk, this is another strange thing. Zou Wenhuai said that he received a call from Watanabe and Yida, and Watanabe's offer was 30 songs, 30 million. "

Hearing this, Liao Liao replied, "This price...is quite normal."

Qi Jie said anxiously at that time: "It's not about the price. The question is, who will Sony sign, who will not sign, at what price, and when will it be Watanabe Kazuichi's turn to decide?" After a pause, she continued: "At that time, Zou Wenhuai told me that he felt that something was wrong. Because in the past, Xie Mingyuan contacted the agent for any important matters on Sony Records. Watanabe Kazuichi was only responsible for the daily work in the company. management."

Hearing this, Liao Liao was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, put his finger on the broadcast button, hesitated for a long time, then put the mobile phone away, and said slowly: "There must be something that we don't know yet. gone."

Liao Liao and Qi Jie were both speechless.

In fact, although Minghu Culture is already the top record company in the domestic pop music scene, and its scale is not the largest, its only two albums last year ranked second in the country in terms of record sales. However, their rise is still too fast. Although they already have some contacts in the industry, they are still not comparable to Sony, Cinda, and Huage, which have been standing in the music scene for more than ten or twenty years.

This has led to the fact that once there is any major change in the industry, companies like Sony, Huage, and Cinda can often quickly deduce the general situation from the slightest clues, but Minghu Culture The news, however, takes a lot of time - in many cases, Minghu Culture can only learn a thing or two from outside reports and industry rumors until the matter has almost come to light.

For example, at the moment, Li Qian, Liao Liao, and Qi Jie all speculated that something seemed to have happened or was happening through the two news sent by Zou Wenhuai, but they couldn't know what the news was.

Of course, Li Qian could choose to call Xie Mingyuan.

But after thinking about it, he still decided not to make this call, at least not when he knew nothing about it.

So, after a while, seeing that Liao Liao and Qi Jie were both distracted, he smiled, patted Liao Liao on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, don't think about it, don't care how messy they are, we just stay as still as a mountain." Already!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao looked at Qi Jie, and they both nodded.

Qi Jie said: "I don't believe that Zhou Mo can be poached away by them!" While speaking, she looked at Li Qian and said with a smile: "You should watch her closely! Just watch her closely, plus Liao Liao, He Runqing, Rose Power, plus the four beauties, no matter how they move, we are as stable as Mount Tai!"

Li Qian smiled and didn't answer her, but turned to Liao Liao and said, "Let's go, go home!"

…………

The next day is Monday.

In the morning, while Li Qian was in class, he had already received a text message from Qi Jie.

After seeing the content of the text message, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows!

He held the phone and thought for a while, but he still smiled, put the phone back in his pocket, and continued to attend lectures and take notes.

After class was over, he walked out of the classroom chatting and laughing with his classmates, but just as he entered the corridor, the phone rang. Li Qian greeted his buddies, fell behind and connected the phone.

As soon as the connection was made, Qi Jie said angrily: "I said, big boss, you are really calm, can't this make you leave half a class early?"

Li Qian smiled and didn't refute, just said: "Tell me, what's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie spoke very quickly: "As soon as I went to work in the morning, I heard rumors in the circle. Everyone said that Watanabe and Yi had already taken care of Zhen Zhen and the others. The little record of the two of them The company has decided to accept the acquisition, and the two of them will become one of the shareholders of Sony Records. There are also rumors that Zhen Zhen will sign a three-album contract with Sony later. I don't know how many reporters are focusing on that Two companies went."

Li Qian nodded slowly, sighed insignificantly, and said, "Zhen Zhen... Xie Mingyuan wanted to poach her, and wanted to buy the company of their husband and wife. I don't know how long he thought about it, but he still couldn't get it." After a pause, he smiled and asked, "What about this time? Also Watanabe Kazuichi?"

After a moment of silence, Qi Jie said, "Yes."

Li Qian nodded and asked, "Is there any other news?"

After a pause, Qi Jie replied: "Zou Wenhuai called again just now, saying that Sony seemed to have noticed something was wrong. This morning, probably half an hour or an hour ago, Watanabe Kazuichi called Zou Wenhuai again. The phone call raised the price to 50 million for 30 songs, which is the same as Xinda's price."

Li Qian frowned and said nothing.

Qi Jie paused for a moment, and seeing that Li Qian was silent, he continued: "According to Zou Wenhuai, after answering the call, he told Zhou Mo of Watanabe Kazuichi's phone number, but Zhou Mo didn't speak."

Li Qian frowned and asked, "Didn't speak? What do you mean by not speaking?"

Qi Jie was silent for a moment, and said: "Zou Wenhuai told me that after receiving Xinda's quotation, 30 songs, 50 million, he just mentioned it to Zhou Mo, and Zhou Mo replied directly: 'No!' But this time , she didn't speak."

Li Qian nodded, remained silent for a moment, and was about to speak when the phone vibrated suddenly. He took it away to look, raised his brows, and said to Qi Jie, "I'll hang up first, a call came in, it's Xie Mingyuan."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and another call was connected at the same time.

Xie Mingyuan said: "Hey, Qian, have you got the news?"

Li Qian nodded, "It seems...you can no longer decide on some things?"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan sighed, a little depressed, and then he said: "I have time later, in your time, let's have a drink together?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said, "Okay! Wait until I finish the song at hand, are you not in such a hurry?"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan suddenly laughed.

After laughing, he said: "Okay, not bad! I thought you would be anxious to ask me what's going on! At least you should ask a few more questions? You are good, you are very calm!" Then, he Said: "Time, place you choose, how about it?"

"I choose?" Li Qian asked in surprise.

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan laughed loudly, "Yes, you choose! We have met so many times. I choose the time and place. This time, you choose!"

Li Qian thought for a while, then smiled and said, "When you say that, I'm really hungry! There are a few small stalls at the back door of our school, all of which taste good, and I usually go there. Catch it early or late, how about it?" , my treat tonight?"

Xie Mingyuan immediately said: "Okay! That's it!"

…………

After he hung up the phone, Li Qian thought about it, and while walking downstairs, he dialed Qi Jie's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, Qi Jie was already on fire: "Another news!"

Li Qian smiled silently and said, "Say it!"

Qi Jie said: "Zhou Feng of Changsheng Records has already confirmed that he will break the contract. It is said that the break contract fee will be paid by Sony Records, because he only has one album left, so it is about 12 million break contract pay? It is said that apart from that In addition, Sony offered Zhou Feng a buyout contract of 13 million for 30 songs. In the next few days, the two parties will sign the contract."

Li Qian stopped.

Zhou Feng, the leader of Changsheng Records! Before that, he was quite outstanding in the second line. In the past two years, probably starting from "I think I am the sea" that I gave him, he has gone more and more smoothly. Up to now, although he is not qualified to enter the first line, but in the In the second line, he is definitely one of the top few people. And the most important thing is that he has a good appearance, a good voice, and his whole body is extremely malleable!

It's just that, for his 30 songs, Sony threw out 25 million... Is this going crazy?

After thinking for a while, Li Qian calmly said: "Remember, you are the general manager of the company. Don't worry about the turmoil outside. First of all, you can't panic, and you can't be too excited. In short, be calm!"

After a pause, he said again: "Tell Liao Liao, I'll go back to the company right away, and continue recording in the morning!"
