Chapter 323 The Lion's Big Opening Is Not That Open
Wu Hu brought people from the two companies to negotiate together, which made the two people who came to negotiate feel as sick as eating flies. If someone hadn't taken a fancy to his song, they really wanted to get up and walk away.
, who the hell do you think you are?
And Wu Hu has precisely targeted their weaknesses and is completely confident. If he doesn't cooperate with you, there will be other record companies! Although other record companies are not as comprehensive as these two in terms of strength, they will only make less money.
Moreover, who knows that he can't help other record companies open up the situation?
Although this possibility is slim, they are just small players below and do not have the courage of top decision-makers, so they do not dare to confront Wu Hu head-on.
Wu Hu smiled and said: "Let me talk about my situation first! I plan to open a personal studio. The copyright of the songs will be placed in this studio, and then I will produce an album in the name of the studio. I have invited Zhou
Dong will be my producer for this album. And your cooperation with me is to promote and release this album..."
Deputy Manager Li stood up and said, "I think I need to discuss it with the company first and then give Mr. Wu a satisfactory answer. Wait a few minutes."
Deputy Manager Li went out to make a phone call, and Du Yuze smiled and said: "This check was originally intended to purchase the copyright fee for Mr. Wu's song. But since Mr. Wu also came up with the album himself, then this cooperation plan will obviously not work.
.”
As he spoke, he took out another document from his briefcase, "This is our second cooperation plan!" He handed the document to Wu Hu and motioned for Wu Hu to take a look first.
Wu Hu looked at it, then let it go and said, "I said, I plan to open my own studio, not become your signed singer. Singing is just my side job.
"sideline?
Du Yu and his two assistants couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
What do you want to do if you don't dig the gold mine?
Soon, they remembered that Wu Hu had said on the show that he wanted to make a film and television drama. So they couldn't help but look at him in shock. Isn't it true?
Cun Yu also stood up and said, "I'll make a call first, please wait!"
Wu Hu made a "please do as you please" gesture.
Soon, Deputy Manager Li came back from the outside, sat down in front of Wu Hu, and put forward their conditions: 30% to 70%, Wu Hu 3%, they 7%, and gave him a flower-growing area endorsement for Sony products, and one to
Annual endorsement fee of 5 million.
Wu Hu is somewhat dissatisfied with this condition. After all, his album does not require Sony Records to help collect songs, nor does it need their help in production. They just help promote the release, which requires 70% of the proceeds. Sure enough,
capitalist.
Wu Hu didn't know that if he hadn't produced the album himself, the share ratio offered by the other party would probably have made him give up releasing the album.
For a newcomer, it is normal to get a 19-cent split, and a 28-cent split is based on the fact that the singer is qualified only if he has a certain reputation. After all, in addition to the singer, he is also a composer and lyricist, as well as a producer, publisher, and distribution channel
Businessmen, etc., will all participate in the sharing.
Many times, singers end up receiving less than 10% of their income.
If you can write lyrics and compose music yourself, that's another matter.
Of course, this is not the final condition, it is a negotiation! You can bargain. Not long after Deputy Manager Li finished reporting the conditions, Du Yu also came back.
He directly took a piece of paper, wrote and drew on it, and finally put it on the table and pushed it in front of Wu Hu, "This is the greatest sincerity we at Warner Records can give. If Mr. Wu is still not satisfied, then just
I can look forward to our next cooperation.”
He wasn't even afraid of Deputy Manager Li and others seeing the conditions they gave him.
Deputy Manager Li was very curious about what Du Yu wrote on that piece of paper and why he was suddenly so decisive and did not even leave an opportunity for the next negotiation. This was not like talking about business!
So, he couldn't help but look at the piece of paper.
The signing fee of half a million dollars, divided into 40 and 60 cents, the advertising endorsement of Coca-Cola, the endorsement of a world-class clothing brand, and the endorsement of hook shoes. Of course, these endorsements are just introductions led by Warner Records. Whether the two parties can finally reach an agreement, they will not say
ensure.
But a 46-cent account is already much higher than Sony Records.
As for subsequent advertising endorsements, Wu Hu doesn't care too much. After all, as long as his reputation is big enough, these brands will come to him.
Coca-Cola approached him before the endorsement, but he was not very satisfied with the price offered, which was only 10 million in three years.
As for the hook shoes, Wu Hu didn't even care about them. After all, he was not one of those athletes, and the price certainly wouldn't be much higher. He might as well endorse domestic products.
In addition, there is a signing fee of 500,000 yuan!
However, Wu Hu's mind is that the price is 50-50. Although he is a bit greedy, he feels that the songs he copied are eligible for this treatment. Moreover, since he produced the album himself, he also needs to give Milk Cha Lun a share of the production!
Therefore, he planned to continue to test it out. Anyway, he was asking for a high price! As for whether he would be regarded as an ignorant person who didn't know the heights of the world, Wu Hu didn't mind at all.
Again, make money! Not shabby!
After thinking about it, Wu Hu picked up the pen and scratched the words "55' on the dividing line. Du Yu's eyes twitched as he looked at him, secretly cursing, this guy really dares to ask for it!
Deputy Manager Li, who was sitting next to him, just picked up his briefcase and left. He felt that Wu Hu took him too seriously, and even a lion would not open his mouth like this.
After Deputy Manager Li left, Wu Hu looked at Du Yu, who was also about to get up, and said, "Brother Lun and I are going to record a new song, an English song. If Manager Du is not busy, why not listen to it together."
Du Yu could understand that Wu Hu wanted him to go back and discuss with his boss before making a decision after listening to the song.
More than two hours later, Wu Hu invited Du Yu and the others to have lunch together.
Not long after, the conditions proposed by Wu Hu and the demo tape of the new song "fire" were placed in front of Chen, the president of Warner Records' Flower Planting District.
Seeing the 50-50 split proposed by Wu Hu, President Chen couldn't help laughing, "This young man has a really big appetite! He dares to make such a request!"
If he dares to make such an excessive request now, what will happen in the future? If he agrees to this request, what will the headquarters think of him? They can directly doubt his ability to work.
Du Yu said with a smile: "Although I am a little ignorant, I have to say that if you are talented, you are really talented. The lyrics and music of this new song are all written by him, and even the arrangement was mostly done by him. Although Jay Chou also helped
He was a little busy, but he was nodding in agreement almost most of the time. But I feel like this guy’s focus will not be on music.”
President Chen was still very interested in the demo tape of the new song "fire". While listening to the demo tape, he asked, "What? He really wants to make a movie?"
It can be seen that President Chen also knew Wu Hu.
"Well! It can be heard from his conversation with Director Jay that he has completed the first draft of the script and is even preparing to set up a film and television studio with a registered capital of more than 20 million. Director Jay even said that if Starry Sky Film and Television
If he doesn’t invest, he is willing to invest..."
This information was deliberately revealed by Wu Hu when they were having dinner. The purpose was to tell Warner Records that he was actually not short of money and was not eager to cooperate.
Although more than 20 million won't make any big production, it doesn't mean that Starry Sky Film and Television will not increase investment. Even if there is no Starry Sky Film and Television, there will still be Milk Tea Lun!
In fact, he has a start-up capital of more than 20 million, which is enough to make a small-budget movie. Once he shows enough ability, there will be no shortage of investment for the next movie.
As he listened, President Chen's eyes closed slightly, and his fingertips involuntarily tapped the table. After listening to the whole song, if there was anything that made him feel dissatisfied, it was Wu Hu's voice.
It doesn't have strong recognition and can't catch his ears at once. This is what makes him most regretful.
But this also made President Chen feel that it was necessary to talk to the young man personally.
...
In the afternoon, Yahuazi called him and said that he was going to pick up Mina and her family at the airport.
Wu Hu actually has nothing to do, "f
The song "ire" has been recorded. But Tietie and Yahuazi have already gone to pick up Mina. Should he go over again to see the Shura Field?
Especially since Mina's parents were also present, he was also afraid of the awkward situation.
Therefore, when Yahuazi giggled and asked him if he wanted to go together, Wu Hu refused on the grounds that he was revising the script.
Not long after, he received a call from Chen, the president of Warner's large flower planting area, asking him to have a drink and chat if he had time in the evening.
Wu Hu refused again, saying that his teammates would be coming over in the evening and he needed to treat them to dinner.
Wu Hu's indifferent attitude actually made President Chen feel itchy. He felt that Wu Hu was playing hard to get, probably because he was waiting for a quote from Sony Records.
So, he made an appointment to treat Wu Hu to dinner at noon tomorrow.
...
In the evening, Yahuazi and Tietie took Mina's family back to the hotel, her parents, and her sister. When they first met Mina's family, Zhan Langjing and Wu Hu were a little stunned, not only because
Mina and her sister's beautiful appearance, and Na's father's burly and muscular image, are too social, just like a big brother in society.
Fortunately, Mina controlled herself and did not pounce on Wu Hu, but her beautiful eyes could not help but glance at Wu Hu. The eyes of the sister beside her revealed curiosity.
Wu Hu, Zhan Langjing and the others came up to say hello and shook hands with Na's father.
Na's father also politely thanked Zhan Langjing and the others for taking care of their daughter during the show.
As for Wu Hu, he didn't say much, didn't show his face, and didn't show him any special care, which made Wu Hu quietly heave a sigh of relief.
After welcoming people upstairs, Lao Hu quietly winked at Wu Hu who was walking behind him, and whispered: "Fat Hu, did your heart beat faster just now?"
Wu Hu was speechless and rolled his eyes at Lao Hu.
Lao Hu chuckled and said, "Mina's father looks so powerful, just like a big boss in society. If you say he has dozens of subordinates, I believe it!"
Fortunately, Yahuazi didn't provoke Mina in front of her, otherwise Wu Hu would really have a big headache.
In the evening, Wu Hu and the others were in the hotel to clean up Mina's family. Zhan Langjing also took out a 500 ml bottle of honeycomb white wine and prepared to have a few drinks with Na's father.
The honeycomb for soaking white wine was obtained by Wu Hu on his adventure. However, the white wine was originally stored in large glass bottles. This small bottle must have been separated from it by War Lang Jing.
Na's mother declined Zhan Langjing's kindness, saying that Na's father was not in good health and could not drink.
Wu Hu knew that Na's father in another world had a heart problem. When Na's father passed away, Meina didn't even have time to see him for the last time.
Unexpectedly, in this world, Na's father still could not escape the bad luck of suffering from heart disease.
Therefore, this bottle of liquor can only be left to Wu Hu and Zhan Langjing to deal with.
The meal lasted from about six o'clock to about eight o'clock. During this period, Wu Hu and the others even met some contestants from other teams who had come in the restaurant, but most of them were amateurs. Those celebrities, few
Some people like Milk Cha Lun and Lao Hu came here so early.
Basically, I'll come here tomorrow, finish the show tomorrow night, and leave directly.
Or maybe they already have a place to live in the capital and didn't come to the hotel.
After the meal, Zhan Langjing almost became brothers with Na's father, and even said that he would take them out for a walk to see the night view of the capital.
However, Na’s dad refused because he was tired.
When Wu Hu was called by Mina to meet her parents, Wu Hu knew that his physical exhaustion was a lie, but that he wanted to see him was the real thing.
Seeing this, Yahuazi gave Wu Hu a "calm down" look, then pulled Sister Tietie and said goodbye as well.
Seeing Wu Hu walking cautiously with Mina, Lao Hu felt a little gloating. If it weren't for his celebrity status, he probably wouldn't mind eavesdropping.
Walking with Mina in the corridor of the hotel, Mina asked Wu Hu, "Brother Hu, is acupuncture effective in treating heart disease? I have asked doctors, and some said it is effective, and some say it is.
It’s useless, I can’t figure it out either.”
Wu Hu knew the answer and asked: "Why do you suddenly ask this question? Could it be..."
Mina nodded, "My father is in poor health because of a heart problem."
Wu Hu nodded and said: "It is of some use. Acupuncture can dredge the meridians and keep the blood vessels flowing. But it is definitely impossible to cure it completely, unless you transplant an organ. This is why some people say it is useful, but others say it is useless.
"
Mina was a little distressed, "But it's difficult to find a matching heart!"
It is indeed difficult, not only the matching is difficult, but also the thought of waiting for the right opportunity is even more difficult. Otherwise, in another world, she would not be so regretful.
"Before you find a matching heart, you can use acupuncture to relieve the pressure on your heart. Don't worry too much, just search hard."
After a pause, he asked again: "Does your parents want to see me because of investment?"
Mina nodded, "They are a little worried!"
Wu Hu smiled, which was completely understandable.
