Chapter One of the Night - Chapter 103

   Chapter 103 Showdown

   “Good! Good! This song is amazing!”

He Jianliang held the score of “Wake Up Your Ears” in his hand and laughed until he could barely close his mouth, and said to Guan Yulan who was sitting on the sofa: “Zhenghua’s shot is really extraordinary! I can still recognize the notes, this song is absolutely suitable for Xiaojing to sing! It will be popular! It will definitely be popular!”

As he said that, he put down the score, couldn’t help but glanced at it affectionately, then got up and walked over to the sofa area, smiling, “So, Yulan, you brought a lawyer this time because you want us to negotiate the contract directly. ?”

   Jiang Liangyun, who was sitting on the single-seat sofa on the other side, continued to be noncommittal and gave Guan Yulan the right to speak.

   Guan Yulan smiled and took out another prepared document, “I mean, Mr. He, take a look at this and see if you have any different opinions.”

   “Oh? Haha, have you all prepared the contract?”

   He smiled and sat down and took the contract.

In the past, the first draft of the contract generally used the standard contract from the record company, and the basic principle of almost all record companies is that they would not easily agree to use an external contract as the draft—the draft in their own hands is a little bit over the years. After tossing it out, he is not willing to change even a single word, because that is the best way to protect his own interests, and it will only dig a hole for the other party.

   But the other party’s manuscript may have some invisible traps.

   But even politely, you still have to take a look.

   So he raised Erlang’s legs and subconsciously wanted to simply turn it over, but at first glance, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously went back to look for the thing he just skipped, and was stunned again.

  Party A: Zhenghua Music?

   He frowned, and for a few seconds, his face turned pale.

   suddenly shook the contract in his hand vigorously, making the paper rattle, and he was shocked and angry, “What do you mean? Zhenghua Music? The copyright is shared?”

   Kojima Records just gave the parent company Xipo Records back the hardtop yesterday!

   In order to win Xu Zhenghua’s singer appointment, Mr. Zhou is considered to be willing to go out. It should be the most courageous feat in his decades-long career – he tops Mr. Cai Zhuoqun from the parent company!

   Xipo Records finally promised not to interfere!

   As a result, this… Isn’t this playing yourself as a monkey?

   Guan Yulan explained patiently, “Zhenghua Music is a record company that Xu Zhenghua has just registered and established. It is an independent label for the time being, but there is nothing yet.”

   He Jianliang thought to the telegram, “What about Zhenghua’s record appointment?”

   “Oh, still on the Oriental Star.”

  He Jianliang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his mind had regained clarity all of a sudden—I felt a surge of blood just now, and my brain was about to explode.

   But after thinking about it, he suddenly understood again.

   “snap” and threw the contract in his hand on the coffee table, and he immediately stood up.

   Now Xu Zhenghua’s record contract is probably still at Oriental Star, but now there is even Zhenghua Music. Xu Zhenghua’s kid made it clear that he wanted to make a big deal, and he would sign the record contract to someone else?

It’s just three million liquidated damages. Dongfang Star doesn’t want to let people go, so just throw in the money. Now Xu Zhenghua can afford the money. Damn, he just completed a large sum for him yesterday. Settlement!

  Don’t think about it, this is just playing yourself as a monkey!

   “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We Kojima Records will never share copyright with anyone, and even if we agree, Xipo Records will not agree!”

   He was furious, and the tone of his words was decisive.

And after saying this, he was still standing there, looking down, with a fierce face, “Miss Guan, is it too much for you to do this? Before I asked again and again, Xu Zhenghua said what he said. Ambiguous, I have to say that we can’t talk until you come back, but you’re waiting for me here, right?”

   “Xu Zhenghua himself started playing a label? What a joke! Who invested in him? Oriental Star? Qi Xingxing? Taishan? Great Wall? Huage? Definitely not Xipo Records!”

   Guan Yulan looked up at him speechlessly.

   He didn’t seem to intend to hear Guan Yulan’s answer, so he walked back and forth in the room after speaking.

   is very fast.

   shows that he is now out of anger.

When he finally stopped, looked over, and said: “He must have bought out his singer, right? Let’s talk about it, play me, and make our island record whole. Who is he selling to? Who is the publisher?”

   Guan Yulan’s expression was always calm, “Morning star.”

   “Sure enough!”

  He Jianliang, with a look of hatred, slammed his fist into his left hand, “Grass!”

   He turned his back and walked to the window.

   turned his back to this side for several minutes before finally turning around, his expression was a little gloomy, and he even felt a bit of a wry smile, “So, this song is his compensation for me, right?”

   Guan Yulan saw that he finally calmed down, so she spoke with a solemn expression, “First, Zhenghua has never promised anyone, he is willing to come to Kojima Records to sign a singer contract, and he has repeatedly advised you not to do it!”

“Secondly, where his singer will go is a matter between Zhenghua Music and Oriental Star Records. With all due respect, neither you nor Kojima Records, or Xipo Records, are never in the middle. “

   When she said this, the bitter smile on He Jianliang’s face became stronger.

  Somewhat inexplicably depressing.

But Guan Yulan continued to say, “Thirdly, during the cooperation period, Zhenghua has successively brought three champion singles to Kojima Records, making two singers popular. Before him, Kojima Records even had He hasn’t won a championship even once in ten or twenty years! So, it’s hard to say elsewhere, at least to Kojima Records, to you, he doesn’t owe him the slightest! Not to mention compensation!”

  He Jianliang raised his head and suddenly shouted, “Then why the **** doesn’t he dare to come in person!”

   He had a grim look on his face, and blue veins burst out on his forehead.

Guan Yulan looked up at him, and after three seconds, she got up, silently put away the contract that He Jianliang threw on the coffee table, put it in her bag, and squeezed a smile, “If that’s the case, then… leave. “

  He Jianliang lowered his head.

   Guan Yulan and Jiang Liangyun both got up and walked out.

   Seeing that she was about to reach the door, Guan Yulan suddenly paused, “Oh, by the way…”

   But at the same time, He Jianliang suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”

   Look at each other.

   He Jianliang said: “What? You say it first!”

Of course, before leaving, the sword light will be shown, which is the acquisition contract reserved as a final deterrent, Xu Zhenghua’s personal singer contract with An Xiaojing, and the two songs “Short Hair” and “When Love is Approaching” , offered a total purchase price of up to 18 million – don’t care if you can get this money or not, let’s talk about it first!

   But now, this contract seems to be useless.

   “Nothing, you said!”

He Jianliang waited for a while, seeing that Guan Yulan refused to speak, he couldn’t help but raised his head and took a deep breath, then let it out, raised his hand and rubbed his face fiercely, put down his hand, and laughed, “Smiling! It’s a bit of a gaffe, hahaha… sit, sit!”

  Tube Magnolia to go back and sit down.

He Jianliang also returned to his seat. After a while, he asked: “Zhenghua said before that he has already written the remaining eight songs for Xiaojing for the album! So…will you give it? “

“meeting!”

   Guan Yulan answered him without hesitation, and at the same time took out the contract again and handed it over, “But it must be in accordance with the contract, and the copyright is fifty-five cents.”

   He Jianliang was not angry this time, he took over the contract and looked serious.

   In fact, there is nothing new, the core is just one point, and the copyright is fifty-five.

   Of course, the production cost is also 50%.

  Copyright management still belongs to Xiaodao Records, and Zhenghua Music directly gave up and did not participate—in fact, it belongs to Xipo Records.

   It can be expected that the remaining seven songs will also be the same requirements, but each song needs to be signed separately – this is the cooperation condition that Xu Zhenghua set out.

   He is no longer willing to be just a behind-the-scenes creator, and has already joined the copyright game.

   But he has only released four songs so far!

  But…that’s right, who made his four songs so popular!

  Jia Jia has won the championship for 12 weeks. This year is only the 31st week. His own works already account for more than one-third of the total! Especially in the last two or three months, from the six consecutive championships of “Beautiful Eyes”, to the two consecutive championships of “When Love is Near”, and now “Thousand Thousand Que Song” has also won the championship for the second week. It has dominated the A-list for ten consecutive weeks!

  With such an amazing achievement in hand…

  It is normal to have ambition, but it is not normal to have no ambition!

   What’s more, from the first day I met him, I knew that he was not a normal twenty-year-old young man, he had always been an ambitious young man who made plans and then acted.

   But… eight songs!

   If his Zhenghua Music owns half of the copyright of the eight songs, Zhenghua Music will take 40% of the copyright as soon as the entire album comes out – how is this possible!

   He is still too delusional!

   Even if he agrees, Mr. Zhou will not agree. Even if Mr. Zhou agrees, Xipo Records will definitely disagree. This kind of matter involving copyright is completely out of the question for the publisher and the parent company.

   After reading it, He Jianliang gently placed the contract on the coffee table, raised his hand again, and rubbed his face.

   “If I don’t agree, what will you do? Has Zhenghua said it?”

Guan Yulan pursed her lips, struggled for three seconds, and finally decided not to show her sword. Instead, she adopted another idea that had been designed before, and dropped the burden, “Then this song, along with the other seven songs, will all be handed over to you. Going to Mr. Liu Junxian of Venus Records, as for which female singer Venus will choose to sing, or simply contract An Xiaojing… Hehe, you know, Mr. Liu has always been domineering… Well, how do you say it? , once the song is handed over, we may not be able to control it.”

  He Jianliang felt cold.

  This is of course not fair – why give us half the copyright, but not for Venus?

   But as long as he is a manager who has been in the record circle for a few years, he will not ask such childish questions.

  Daystar Records is now undoubtedly the thick thigh of the newly established Zhenghua Music.

   That’s his publisher and parent company!

  Although I don’t know the shareholding ratio, Liu Junxian has always been known for being quick and accurate in business. Presumably, the share of Qixing Records in Zhenghua Music will not be less than 50%.

   So, it doesn’t matter anymore.

  The important thing is that An Xiaojing’s contract… To put it bluntly, it’s only worth 8 million.

   She can afford the liquidated damages herself.

  Day Star Records can certainly afford the money!

   As the top six in the Venus Records industry, and the temptation to continue to cooperate with Xu Zhenghua and continue to win top singles and big sales, An Xiaojing has more than 90% chance of willingly agreeing to change jobs.

   They can even discuss it at the same time, and buy the copyrights of “Short Hair” and “When Love is Approaching” together and put them directly into her debut album.

Anyway, as long as An Xiaojing quits, it will be impossible for her to release an album here. If two old songs are left here, it will be difficult to sell the next big sum of money. If they are packaged and sold, it will become a deal. A good deal that benefits both parties.

   But in that case, there is no doubt that An Xiaojing’s short-lived brilliance brought to her career will come to an end.

   is so cruel!

  Compared with this, Xu Zhenghua put on a singer’s appointment, which is already a trivial matter.

   After all, he did not give himself any promises.

  It was because he was temporarily fascinated by the huge benefits, so he…

   “Can I call Zhenghua?”

  He Jianliang looked up at Guan Yulan, “I think we can sit down, have a drink, and have a good chat!”

   Guan Yulan smiled, “He’s gone out. He’s been under a lot of pressure recently. He decided to go out for a walk and rest his mind. If you insist on making a phone call, it may disturb him.”

   In other words, he didn’t turn off the phone, and he didn’t have to avoid his phone.

   You can fight, but whether to fight is up to you.

He Jianliang lowered his head and thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: “Okay, I understand, but… Yulan, you have been an agent for many years, you know, such a big thing already involves copyright, I can’t be myself It’s up to us, so let’s discuss it, okay?”

   Guan Yulan nodded immediately, “Of course! Then you keep this contract and you can call me at any time.”

“OK!”

   Seeing Guan Yulan standing up, He Jianliang also got up, the two shook hands, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I may not be in a good state. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I won’t send you.”

   “It’s okay, then you have a good rest.”

   “Okay. Go slow!”

   Guan Yulan and Jiang Liangyun quickly said goodbye and left, and when they got into the elevator, Jiang Liangyun smiled and flattered, “It’s close to perfection!”

“thanks!”

   Guan Yulan smiled when she heard the words.

   was indeed playing well, and she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

   But when it comes to performing well, she feels that she is still far from being Jianliang – the heart is too strong, and the transformation is too fast, as expected of a person who can become the vice president of a record company in his thirties!

“but…”

  Jiang Liangyun smiled and said, “Be mentally prepared. After half an hour, there will be another anger waiting for you!”

   Guan Yulan shrugged and smiled wryly.

   No, that anger may be even greater!

  …

   “Xu Zhenghua, you bastard!”

   Just after reading the beginning of the acquisition contract, Zhao Tianping’s face turned red and he was slamming the table.

He took off his flower glasses, took the contract in his hand, and shook violently, the paper rattled, “Zhenghua Music? Xu Zhenghua’s record company? Okay, you have the ability! Ha, I thought I registered a company, just Can you jump out of Lao Tzu’s palm? Still want to play digging yourself?”

   He scolded, “Dream!”

He dropped the contract again and pointed at Guan Yulan’s nose, “Let him get ready to rot in Lao Tzu’s land! Lao Tzu won’t sell it! If he pays the liquidated damages, he will file a lawsuit. I won’t let an ungrateful **** like Xu Zhenghua run away and be at ease!”

   “Within three years, he won’t even want to release a song! If he dares to go public, I will directly apply for a seizure!”

  “…”

   Guan Yulan didn’t refute or get excited, just looked at him blankly.

After finally scolding, he stopped, still panting arrogantly, looking furious, he turned around and grabbed the contract on the table, and threw it directly in the direction of Guan Yulan, the bound paper squeaked and flew over. His desktop fell head-on and fell to the ground.

   “Go away! Take your contract and go as far as you want!”

   Guan Yulan took a deep breath, got up and walked over to pick up the contract, with a slight smile on her face, “You don’t want to ask who the publisher of Zhenghua Music is?”

   “I don’t care…”

   Halfway through his words, Zhao Tianping was stunned for a moment and looked over with wide eyes, “Has he already found a publisher?” But he immediately woke up and slapped his forehead with his hand!

   “It’s Xipo Records, right? It’s uncle! Cai Zhuoqun is really not particular about his work!”

   Guan Yulan kept smiling, “It’s Morning Star Records.”

Zhao Tianping froze abruptly and was stunned for several seconds. After he came back to his senses, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the long hair on his forehead, put it back in place, coughed, and walked back to himself. behind his desk, he sat down on the boss chair, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

   He closed his eyes for more than half a minute.

After slowly opening his eyes, he coughed, very dignified, and looked up at Guan Yulan, “Go back and tell him that we are not selling, Xu Zhenghua is a promising newcomer in our company, and we will never put her in any case. He sold it. If you want to take him away, pay the liquidated damages directly, and then file a lawsuit!”

   Guan Yulan pursed her lips slightly and nodded, “Okay, Mr. Zhao.”

   After finishing speaking, she put the contract back in her bag and smiled, “Mr. Zhao, then we will leave first, as you mean, I will bring it to him!”

“and many more!”

   Zhao Tianping looked dignified and looked at him expressionlessly, but when he spoke, his tone suddenly softened, “His cooperation with Jin Xiaoqing…”

   Hesitated for a few seconds, and finally asked, “It won’t end because of this, right?”

Guan Yulan smiled, her eyes turned slightly, “This… I can’t make any promises to you for the time being. But it’s not impossible, they’re both managers, it’s me! When the time comes, let’s be together. A lawsuit, while talking?”

   Zhao Tianping opened his mouth, and after a while, his voice completely softened, “Yulan, you have to persuade him, young man, don’t be too impatient! You can’t eat a big fat man in one bite! Right?”

   Guan Yulan continued to smile, “Yes, what you said makes sense.”

   Zhao Tianping raised his hand and stroked the long lock of hair on the top of his forehead again. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand, “Bring the contract to me again.”

   “Hey, here it is!”

The    contract was handed back again, Zhao Tianping took it, put on the mirror again, and looked seriously.

   After a few minutes, he suddenly raised his head, “1.5 million? What are you kidding me!”

   Tube Magnolia smiling.

   stared at Guan Yulan for a few seconds, but didn’t wait for an answer. After a while, he lowered his head again.

   A contract, he looked at it for ten minutes.

   And most of the time, the mind is not on the contract.

After watching the closing, he lightly smashed his hand on the contract a few times, and he raised his head, “Leave this… thing, I will take a good look at it, I will definitely discuss it at the meeting later, this is not me. It’s something people can decide! … Magnolia, sit down, sit down and talk!”

   He took off the mirror, and while walking over, he couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Liangjun.

   From the moment he entered the room, Xu Zhenghua’s personal lawyer hardly spoke a word, like a sculpture, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

When he sat down, he spoke earnestly, “Yulan, what you guys are doing… it’s so unethical! The front foot company just settled such a huge amount of royalties for you, right? You just turn around and do this… It’s very unethical. Zhenghua is still young, he does things recklessly, I can understand, you should persuade him!”

   Guan Yulan replied with a smile, “Yes, I should be persuaded, blame me, blame me!”

   “Hey, that’s right! Young people act recklessly, this time is where you, the agent, show their value! You can’t do this again in the future!”

   “Okay, I’ll definitely talk to him later!”

Zhao Tianping raised his hand to caress his hair and nodded slowly, “Well, I will submit this matter to the company office meeting later, everyone will discuss it, and I will also call Mr. Qiu from the Qixing branch to communicate. Let’s see if there is a better way to cooperate.”

   “Okay, okay. I’ll be waiting for your message.”

   “Oops, you guys, young people, doing things is really… hurry up, hurry up!”

   Guan Yulan smiled, “Then if you have nothing else to do…”

   “Ai, ai, ai…”

Zhao Tianping hurriedly raised his hand to stop someone, came over, and whispered, “You have to be careful about Xiaoqing’s new album! No matter how good or bad his company is, it won’t give you any money, right? Qing’s album, you have to take money, right?”

   Guan Yulan nodded, looking very serious, “I understand. Don’t worry, I will pay attention.”

   Zhao Tianping raised his head and glanced at Guan Yulan. For the first time, he felt that he couldn’t see through this bitch, so he half-truthed and sighed, “That’s alright, I won’t give you away, keep in touch at any time!”

   Guan Yulan got up, “You don’t need to send it, then you sit and I’m leaving!”

  …

   After walking out of Zhao Tianping’s office, Guan Yulan let out a soft breath.

   At this moment, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Liangyun, both of them smiled.
