Chapter 36 Confidence

Liao Liao was very aggressive in doing things, and after negotiating the price, she signed the check on the spot.

When she, Qi Jie and the others went downstairs, Li Qian lit a cigarette, held the check in his hand, and read it while smoking. When the cigarette was exhausted, he folded the check and put it in the guitar case.

He knew that he would be successful in the future, and he even made a plan for it step by step, but he never thought that there would be such a chance that he would embark on this road so quickly.

surprise?

Surprise of course.

Even in his previous life, he worked in a film crew for several months, and the most he got at one time was about 600,000 yuan. You know, that time he was also the director's assistant and the male number four. Six hundred thousand yuan, and he was paid three times. When the filming was finished, he only got three hundred and fifty thousand yuan.

But now, with five songs, it's easily 400,000 yuan, and it's just a cash check!

Moreover, as far as Li Qian knows, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan in this time and space has been fluctuating around 1:2. The exchange rate of 1:6 in that life was 1.2 million!

Of course, money is still a trivial matter, selling for 400,000 or 40,000, or even only 4,000, although the price difference is huge, but in essence, there is no difference.

Because the more important meaning of this matter is: I got a chance!

An opportunity to let my work appear in front of the public, in front of record companies, in front of various producers and music critics!

Opportunities are always priceless!

Although he suppressed his inner joy and took a while to adjust his mood, and even smoked three cigarettes in half an hour as an exception, Li Qian only played a few songs and put down the guitar.

Even though he has been a human being for two lifetimes, he has never succeeded in a real sense.

Therefore, he had no way to restrain the ecstasy in his heart.

So he lit another cigarette, leaned on the protective wall and smoked it slowly, then packed his things and went straight home.

Today is the weekend, Li's father and Li's mother are at home.

When Li Qian got home, he put down the guitar case first, and without waiting for his parents to ask, he took out the check, unfolded it, flattened it, put it on the coffee table, and said, "Dad, Mom, I just earned 400,000 yuan."

Father Li was sitting on the sofa reading a book, when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at him, frowning and wondering.

Mama Li was cleaning up the toilet, but she came out to take a look when she heard the door ring, and she also looked at him with a puzzled expression when she heard the words, "This kid, why are you crazy?"

Then, Father Li put down the book, looked up at Li Qian, and reached out to pick up the check.

…………

As soon as she walked down the teaching building, Huang Wenjuan couldn't help but said with a bitter face: "Sister Liao, you really wrote the check on the spot! Let's go back... Sister Zhao will kill you!"

Liao Liao held the few pieces of paper in his hands, his face was beaming, and he turned his head and glanced at Huang Wenjuan, but didn't speak.

Huang Wenjuan continued: "Sister, that's 400,000 yuan! 80,000 yuan a song is the price of a famous artist!"

Even Qi Jie said a little nervously: "Well, I also think, isn't it a bit too expensive?"

In fact, she hasn't come to her senses until now. She likes to listen to Li Qian's singing, and also likes Li Qian's songs, but even if Liao Liao has praised him to the sky before, she still can't imagine, Li Qian How much more can you buy yourself a car with one song? Can Li Qian earn his salary for three years with just one song?

And just now, he actually made a match and brokered a deal worth up to 400,000 yuan?

This is really a bit...too mysterious!

But by chance, Liao Liao stopped at this moment, looked at Qi Jie, then at Huang Wenjuan, there seemed to be something shining in his eyes, those eyes were a bit dazzling.

She shook the five thin pieces of paper in her hand and said, "I know, after I go back, I will definitely be scolded like a dog, and I also know that once this news gets out, countless people will say that I am a Liao Liao fool." , but I firmly believe that it won't be long before I can make them swallow what they said!"

Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan were stunned when they heard this, and looked at her in surprise.

The little assistant swallowed, and asked: "Sister, although I know you are very confident, well, after listening to two songs, I also think that Li Qian's song is very well written... But, the market, sister, Do you really believe that his song will be a hit?"

Liao Liao smiled and said, "You may think that I trust him too much, but I don't. I just trust my own strength!" After a pause, she shook the thin paper in her hand again, saying : "Among the songs collected by the company and Sister Zhao for me, there is no shortage of good songs, some of which are not inferior to these songs, but what I want is not just good songs, but also A good song that allows me to perfectly reflect the characteristics of my own voice, and although I only heard him sing two of his works, I knew that those two songs were almost written in my heart!"

"So, I firmly believe that as long as his arrangement is added, I, Liao Liao, will be famous!"

…………

In the living room of Li's family, Li's father and Li's mother were sitting and standing one by one, staring at each other.

A brand new check was passed back and forth between the two of them, almost frayed.

Finally, after Li's father lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, he seemed to regain some energy, looked at Li Qian, and asked, "Are you sure this is true?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "It shouldn't be fake. If you don't believe me, you can go to the bank to exchange it later."

Father Li nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and asked again: "Five songs...that's how much money they paid?"

Li Qian smiled again, nodded and said: "It's five songs, I shouldn't be given that much, as far as I know, for a newcomer like me, no matter how good the song is, it's only a few thousand yuan a song. But... It can be seen that the singer is very optimistic about my ability to write songs, so he wants to make friends with me for a long time, so he gave this sky-high price to deliberately praise me! Oh, by the way, I have to be responsible for editing these five songs Qu, this workload is not small."

Father Li glanced at him when he heard the words, stopped talking, and continued to sit back on the sofa and smoke.

And at this time, Li's mother seemed to have finally found that feeling of ecstasy, "400,000! Old Li, this is 400,000! Son, come here, let Mom kiss you!"

While speaking, she ignored Li Qian's protest, put her arms around her son's neck, and kissed him hard on the forehead.

Father Li looked up at her in disgust.

At this time, Comrade Lao Li was relatively calm.

After Mama Li finished kissing, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Then if...they think your song is not good after they go back, or...for example, if they record it as a tape and sell it, and find that the sales are not good, will they You smashed your signboard all of a sudden? Do you think this is okay? Xiaoqian, don’t be too anxious about making money. Otherwise, you can contact them again. Let’s be less demanding. This is only the first time for you Selling songs is your teacher Qi’s friend, so sell it at a lower price! Even if her tapes don’t sell well in the future, no one will mention our matter, and your teacher Qi’s friend will not blame you. right?"

Li Qian smiled, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Dad, it's been a few years since you passed the test? What car do you want to buy? How about I give you one?"

"Well……"

That's how it is!

Everyone understands the truth, but it is really not an easy task to return the money after receiving it.

Li Qian didn't need to say anything else, and he didn't need to explain anything. He believed that with just one car, his father would definitely hesitate first.

As for Liao Liao's record hitting the street?

Based on his understanding of Liao Liao's voice and his confidence in those songs, he believed that such a situation would never happen. At best, it is only a big sale or a small sale due to the difference in market conditions and popular styles between the two generations!

You know, in the time and space that Li Qian experienced in 1996, it was once called the "Tian Zhennian" of the music world.

Why?

Because of "Persistence" and "Wild Flowers".

…………

At this time, Father Li was a little hesitant when he heard the words.

But soon, after taking two deep puffs of cigarettes, under the watchful eyes of Li Qian and Li Ma, he shook his head slowly, and said firmly and patiently: "Xiao Qian, no matter what you do, writing Well, whether it’s studying, or writing or singing songs, there’s one thing to keep in mind, don’t be impatient! Money can be earned slowly, but reputation can’t be ruined! So, my father’s suggestion is still the same, this price is too expensive. It’s too high, we can’t ask for it, ah! You call them, and then discuss it... In this way, didn’t you just say that for a newcomer like you, it’s only a few thousand yuan a piece? Then let’s let him ask for 10,000 yuan. OK?"

Li Qian heard the words, the smile on his face gradually receded, his face was full of seriousness and guilt.

So, he said seriously: "Dad, I am very confident in my song, and the other party gave this price, which shows that she also has full confidence in my song, but... since you said that, how about we do it this way?" Okay? For the 400,000 yuan, we will only take 50,000 yuan to buy you a car, and save the remaining 350,000 yuan. When Liao Liao's record is released, if it sells well, if it becomes popular , then there is no need to say anything, let's spend it with confidence, if the sales are not good, we will return the rest of the money to her... okay?"

Father Li thought for a while, took a puff of cigarette, nodded slowly, and said, "That's okay! But Xiaoqian, Dad understands your filial piety, but let's not buy this car for now. , you inquire about it, and see what the rules are in the industry, take part of the 50,000 yuan and send it to you, Teacher Qi."

Li Qian was taken aback when he heard this.

Father Li seemed to be afraid that his son would be ignorant of the world, so he deliberately explained: "It's not just an agency fee, a thank you fee, etc. The key is that you have to understand that it's rare for a star like Liao or something to like your song and be willing to pay a high price." Buy, then we have to maintain this relationship, right? So... you just listen to dad, okay?"

After a while, Li Qian smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you! 400,000... I'll give Teacher Qi a 5% commission!"

Father Li finally became happy when he heard the words, "Hey! That's right!"

Hearing that the two of you have settled the matter, Mama Li can only get 50,000 out of the 400,000 miles, and if you give Teacher Qi another 20,000, there will only be 30,000 left...Although 30,000 yuan is worth a year of myself Even if the salary is lowered, it is still a big windfall! But compared with 400,000, there is no doubt that it is far behind.

So, she thought about it, looked at Li Qian unwillingly, and asked, "Xiao Qian, what do you think is the possibility... how likely are your songs to become popular?" Can I finally get the 350,000 that I placed?

Li Qian smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry! Liao Liao is sure!"
