After Ning Lan and Qiao Li, Li Xia, Ma Qian, Asu and others also toasted to Li Fan one after another. Finally, even Lu Bin came over with a wine glass.

Li Fan glanced at his embarrassed face, smiled faintly, stood up and stretched out his wine glass. When it hit the glass, it made a crisp "ding" sound.

Then, Li Fan raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

He and Lu Bin had a grudge, but Lu Bin had paid the price, publicly apologized to him in front of the media, and never provoked him again in the future.

What's past is past. If we can't be friends, at least we can still be colleagues. Let's have a glass of wine and have a drink. Li Fan will not deny it.

Seeing this, Gong Rihong felt a little moved and whispered into Deng Yaxuan's ear for a while.

She had already heard the detailed version of the holiday between Lu Bin and Li Fan after she entered the company. Now, Li Fan accepted Lu Bin's toast, which meant that Li Fan was no longer concerned about it.

If Lu Bin can do it, so can Deng Yaxuan...

Deng Yaxuan was a little entangled. Everyone knew that with the sales of Ning Lan and He Jingyun's albums, the ceiling of 13 songs was broken, and the ban on Li Kai's works in the circle was just like paper. If she could have a drink with Li Kai and let go of her grudges, she would naturally

She was willing, but it was a bit sad to ask her to take the initiative to propose a toast.

Just when she was hesitating, Chen Qian came to Li Kai with a wine glass. Li Kai glanced at Chen Qian, patted his forehead, shook his head and said: "It's too much, it's too much. My head hurts. Sorry, I can't drink any more."

.”

After that, he shook his head and walked towards the toilet.

Chen Qian was left cold, her face turning blue and white.

Many people looked at it with different expressions.

Qiao Li at the other table also noticed this scene and shook her head secretly.

It also made Deng Yaxuan give up the idea of ​​toasting.

At nearly ten o'clock, the party ended.

Li Fan called Su Ting, and Ni Houdao went to blow the wind and take a walk together.

"Brother Ni, I leave it to you to choose the location of the studio. You must hurry up."

When opening a company, the office location is the first priority. Only when the office location is decided, licenses processed, decorations made, equipment purchased, etc. can it be launched. As for registration on behalf of others, Li Huan does not consider it.

Ni Houdao hummed: "I have contacted more than a dozen studios and six third-tier record companies, and half of them have expressed their willingness to interview. Starting tomorrow, I will go to each one."

Li Fan nodded and added: "Keep in touch with Shuteng Records, but you can't hang yourself on a tree, otherwise you will be very passive."

"I see."

Ni Houdao responded, thought about it a little, and then said: "If you cooperate with a giant, the giant's distribution channel is strong, and the commission will be relatively low, usually less than 20 points. If you cooperate with a second- and third-tier record company, the commission will be much higher.

The highest can even reach 30 points, but the distribution channels of second- and third-tier record companies are limited, and they need to rely on other record companies, so sales cannot be guaranteed."

"Therefore, the most suitable partners for cooperation are first-tier record companies. There are four first-tier record companies in Shenzhen City, except Time Records. I will contact the other three."

Li Fan nodded again and looked at Su Ting: "I leave the singer's preliminary training to you. Don't be too strict. After all, there is no contract, but you can't be too lax, especially in terms of time. You can't be late or leave early. One warning will be enough.

Two yellow cards, three red cards.”

Su Ting smiled: "Okay."

It was time to explain what was needed. Li Fan was not a wordy person. He walked for a while and chatted some more. At the intersection, he stopped a taxi.

...

On Tuesday, Li Fan came to the company on time and started a five-day work system, from 9 to 5, with weekends off.

According to the contract, the singer must stay in the company when he is not going out for business activities. According to the labor law, he works an eight-hour work system with five days off and two days off. If he is late and leaves early and is absent from work, the company has the right to give warnings and penalties. The penalties include

Deduct a guaranteed salary of RMB 1,000 and even a share of the salary.

However, even if someone like Li Fan has been hidden, the company will not easily deduct his share. First, if word spreads in the circle, the reputation of Time Records will be bad. Then, so many singers in the company will watch it.

If you do this, you will inevitably feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead, and your heart will fluctuate.

Of course, Li Fan also needs to be a little conscious. If he doesn't show up every day and doesn't see anyone every day, his share will be withheld, and the only person who loses is himself.

That morning, when Gao Dongliang took office as a new official, the first fire was burned on Li Kai's head, and Li Kai's exclusive lounge was taken back.

Li Fan had no objection. He finished cleaning up before lunch and moved to the office area.

After lunch, Gao Dongliang's second attack was on Asu's head, and he directly wiped out the additional 30,000 yuan in promotional expenses that Qiao Li had promised Asu for his album.

Immediately, the rumor spread through the department, unknown to anyone, that Asu's album promotion expenses were reduced because when Asu first joined the company, they didn't know Gao Dongliang's identity and they had a conflict.

At around three o'clock, Gao Dongliang's third fire seemed to be coming down again. His secretary came to Li Kai and gave him a bunch of chores. Li Kai refused. The secretary was furious and a conflict broke out with Li Kai on the spot.

First there was a quarrel, then there was a fight, and Li Fan pushed him to the ground.

After the secretary left in a rage, everyone thought that Gao Dongliang was going to punish Li Fan. Anyone with a discerning eye could understand that the secretary must have been prompted by Gao Dongliang to come to trouble Li Fan.

But there was no movement until after get off work, and the next few days, it was the same, as if a gust of wind blew...

On the other side, three women and two men started special training.

The location is a further education college, and Time Records is in charge of vocal training. Teacher Li, who is invited to give coaching lessons to singers every Friday, and the vocal teacher recommended by Teacher Li.

From nine o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock in the evening.

Among the ten hours, there is one hour for lunch, and a total rest of one hour. Two vocal teachers will guide vocal techniques for three hours, and sing vocal exercises for two hours. The remaining three hours are for exercise. Exercise is not only fitness, but more important.

It is to strengthen the breath.

Su Ting supervised the whole process. At the end of the day, the three women and two men were tortured to the point of ecstasy!

Thursday.

Li Fan met again with Xue Bing, Xiaopang, and Shen Guanchang, and the three of them each recorded two tapes and gave them to Li Fan.

In addition, Xue Bing found three office locations that agreed with Li Fan's request. One was in the park, with an area of ​​1,300 square meters. It was only for sale, not for rent, and the price was more than 6 million. The other two were business buildings with an entire floor, covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters.

1,400 square meters and 1,600 square meters are available for rent or purchase. If you want to rent, the former is in a worse location and the monthly rent is 80,000 yuan, while the latter has a monthly rent of 120,000 yuan. If you want to buy, the price is more than 8 million.

Friday.

Li spent a whole day listening to the tape recordings and circled eight singers. He contacted Su Ting before getting off work and met at 8:30 in the evening.

The two walked towards the first bar. Su Ting said worriedly: "Brother Kai, I'm a little worried that those two combinations may not be able to survive the end of the January special training."

Li Fan asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"They all come from wild backgrounds and have not received such high-intensity training. If they have already signed a contract and been arranged by the record company, they may still be able to grit their teeth and persevere. After all, they can see a future, but now..."

Su Ting shook her head: "Including today, this is only the third day. Among the three girls, one named Su Su has already given up. The other two girls are greatly affected by her. They have been affected all day today.

, the condition is very bad.”

"Those two boys are better, but one of them is named Lin Feng, and I heard him complain twice."

Li opened his eyes and said indifferently: "If you can't bear this hardship and want to quit midway, feel free to do so. Anyway, this is still an audition for me."

As he spoke, he shook the paper in his hand: "This time, I have circled eight people, and the conditions are more relaxed."

Su Ting nodded, hesitated, and then said: "Actually, I think they may not be really afraid of hardship. None of them are from Shenzhen City. I asked them, those three girls, although they have graduated less than a year ago,

, but they have to sing in a bar five days a week and work part-time to make money during the day. The two boys have been singing in the bar for two years. In the past year, they have sung at least four days a week on average. They also have to work during the day, mainly.

..”

Seeing that Su Ting hesitated to speak, Li Fan answered: "Is it possible that after a month of special training and not letting them go to the bar to sing, they will not be able to survive? Not really."

In his previous life, Li Kai had been on the fringes of the music industry for more than ten years. He was well aware of the hardships of underground singers, but he also knew that precisely because of the hardships, underground singers had very little money and would more or less save some money for emergencies.

, such as changing jobs, changing places to live, etc.

"They are from out of town, so their lives are definitely difficult, but I think they can survive for a month."

Su Ting was a little tangled: "The main reason is lack of motivation. After all, the studio has not been established yet. It is currently in preparation, and their minds are not stable."

Li Kai suddenly realized: "You mean, give them some information, like my name?"

Su Ting hummed softly.

The next moment, Li Fan's face became solemn and he shook his head decisively: "I said, when the special training is over in January and the contract is officially signed, it is not now. The studio hires two teachers, which will cost 40,000 yuan a month. Training

Afterwards, even if they don't sign a contract, what they will improve is their own singing level. If they can't understand this and can't persist, then they should quit midway."

Seeing Li Fan's resolute attitude, Su Ting didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

Then, the two of them came to the first bar. Before nine o'clock, a male singer came on stage. After singing, Li Kai nodded. Without Li Kai coming forward, Su Ting went to talk to the male singer directly. As a result,

The male singer heard that it was a studio and was still being prepared, so he took the initiative to refuse.

The two went to the next restaurant, and before ten o'clock, a female singer came on stage to sing. Li Huan also nodded. Su Ting approached the other party to talk, but was rejected by the female singer just like before.

Su Ting couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The image and voice conditions of these two people were considered to be above average among underground singers, much better than the three women and two men who were receiving special training today.

Just when the two of them got up and were about to go to the next restaurant, a male singer came on stage. He was tall and tall, with an angular face. He couldn't be called handsome, but he had a special masculine flavor, but he was a bit older, I guess.

More than thirty-five years old.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m new or not very popular, but after I went on stage, the reaction from the guests was quite lackluster.

He picked up an electric guitar on his back and said into the microphone: "My name is Ade. I am from Hong Kong Island. I am a newly married woman. Please take care of me. I will bring you an old song "Time is Like Eternity"."
