However, what Qin Hai and others did not expect was that after several discussions, Li Qing's signing bonus for the Wandering Band was as high as 500,000!
This price is almost the same as their market price in the industry!
"You are famous singers and play an important role in the industry. I opened a studio not for dreams, but to make money. Only with enough funds can the dreams bloom more dazzlingly."
Li Qing smiled and said: "If you are pure newcomers and just have a blank piece of paper, 50,000 is the highest price I can give you. After all, newcomers need training and the company needs a lot of investment in hardware creation and publicity, which is extremely risky.
But your Hesitation Band is different. You have released a total of six records since your debut, four of which are gold records. With such a solid foundation and reputation, I feel a little embarrassed to give you a signing bonus of 500,000 yuan.
If you go to Starlight and Expedition, the price is estimated to be six to seven hundred thousand."
Qin Hai and others looked at each other.
After being silent for a while, Qin Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Li Qing, this is not how you calculate things."
He paused and said: "You all know that rock music is in quite a decline now. If this were the early 1990s, when rock music was raging in the music scene, the price you mentioned would still be possible, but in the current environment...
…”
He shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, record companies like Starlight and Yuanzheng may not sign me for half a million yuan. This is also the reason why I have always chosen to be an independent musician, because I don't want to be in this decadent rock music world.
During this period of time, I kept my worth too low."
The other band members also nodded in sympathy, and some of them actually had a sad look on their faces.
"But after all, my studio cannot compare with those big companies."
Li Qing smiled and said: "Besides, you should have understood that if you join my studio, you will definitely be able to sing original songs, but in terms of record distribution, it may not be possible for a while...
…”
"I understand, that's what I think!"
Qin Hai nodded and said: "I want to do more airport commercial performances to spread the reputation of "Born to Wander". If possible, our band wants to hold a concert in Wukesong this year..."
Concert?
Li Qing suddenly felt embarrassed: "This... is a bit difficult."
Let alone a concert, including the artist's styling and make-up, publicity and security, various announcements in front of and behind the stage, and some legal disputes after the performance, personal safety, food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc., Hanhai Studio is not fully prepared.
In the past, it was due to lack of funds, but after acquiring the copyright of "Looking for Qin", the entire studio's financial chain has obviously become more abundant, and the details will definitely be improved.
But holding a concert...
Unless it's a tender.
Otherwise, Hanhai's funds are obviously insufficient. After all, just renting a gymnasium costs tens of thousands a day. If it is a national stadium like Wukesong, it may cost hundreds of thousands.
This does not include the preparation of various costumes and props, etc.
For some small record companies, after a concert, if the tickets are good, everyone will be happy, otherwise it will be a disaster. Therefore, although there are many singers who can debut and release albums, they can perform in stadiums with more than 10,000 people.
It is rare to hold a concert in China.
Unless it is sponsored by a sponsor, or it is some cross-border exchange concert sponsored by the Ministry of Culture.
Qin Hai obviously understood what Li Qing meant, so he laughed: "You don't have to worry about the concert. I have my own sponsor channels, but when the time comes, we may need to send someone from our studio to negotiate with them."
Li Qing was a little envious.
This is the benefit of becoming a famous singer. Even things that cost people and money such as holding concerts can be done for free...
After agreeing on the contract details, Fang Haotian began to call his friends at the law firm to draft the details.
The next day, the five members of the Wandering Band signed the contract.
There was no grand publicity ceremony, and the signing was only completed in a low-key meeting room.
At the same time, China Film Group's first tranche of 4 million yuan was successfully transferred from Hong Kong to Hanhai Studio's company account, and the remaining portion will be remitted continuously within a week.
In addition to more than one million yuan in taxes, the tens of millions of copyright fees for "Xun Qin Ji" have begun to be fully paid.
In addition to the copyright fees for overseas adaptations of previous songs such as "Girl with Wings", Hanhai Studio's funds have exceeded 10 million yuan.
What can ten million do?
According to Zhou Shu and others' detailed plan, the first step is to expand the studio's enrollment again.
With the addition of the Wandering Band, some inevitable staff, such as makeup artists, sound engineers, managers and other positions, need fresh blood to join.
As for cultivating new singers, Cai Li and Wang Zhong agreed to sign the contract with Hanhai on the spot without any consideration after learning that their boss had opened a studio.
The signing bonus for the two is 30,000 yuan per year.
As I have said before, the signing bonus is not the money you can get after signing the contract, but is equivalent to a guaranteed salary. It will not be paid in advance, but will be paid accordingly after participating in specific business activities.
If the artist's commercial labor remuneration exceeds 30,000 yuan in a year, the artist will be given a proportion of the remuneration. If it is less than 30,000 yuan, an additional 30,000 yuan will be paid at the end of the year.
Both Wang Zhong and Cai Li expressed satisfaction with the amount of signing bonus.
The signing bonus of 30,000 yuan, when divided, is 2,500 yuan per month. In Beijing in 1998, this salary was already considered a middle income. If it were in some second- and third-tier cities, it would undoubtedly be a high salary.
In the first one or two years, newcomers basically rely on signing bonuses to survive. Only after they officially debut will they have higher income.
The members of the Hesitation Band were very friendly when they met the two new signings of the company. However, when they were rehearsing "Born to Hesitate" in the recording studio and overheard Wang Zhong and Cai Li singing,
Everyone's body trembled, their eyes suddenly opened wide, and when they looked at Wang Zhong who was singing passionately, their jaws dropped to the floor.
At that time, Wang Duo sang "Sudden Self".
Because of the accompaniment of the tuner in the recording studio, as well as the speakers and microphones that are different from the equipment in the bar, the quality of Wang Zhong's "Sudden Self" has instantly improved by two or three levels compared to the previous ones.
Cai Li, who had heard this song hundreds of times, was already surprised at that time. Let alone Qin Hai and others who had never heard this song, they were completely stunned.
As senior musicians who play rock music, Qin Hai and others are definitely more discerning than ordinary people about "Sudden Self", a bold and simple rock song.
", they experience it more deeply.
After Wang Zhong finished singing, Qin Hai and others swarmed forward excitedly to inquire about the detailed information of the song "Sudden Self". When they learned that this song was also written by Li Qing, several people showed their faces.
Sure enough, such an expression.
Later, when Cai Li entered the music room, she sang "I Like You" with a Cantonese accent in a enchanting and charming way.
Wang Zhong didn't react much, because in recent times, Cai Li became famous in the Blue Moon Bar thanks to the song of the little boss.
However, the members of the Wandering Band were already in a mess.
This damn thing is also rock and roll!
Moreover, it is still different from domestic British rock music!
"This song? Was it also written by the little boss?" Qin Hai asked in disbelief. Now he was also following Wang Zhong. Cai Li casually called Li Qing the little boss, but when he called this title, it was
Slightly stiff.
Not because it was awkward, but because his throat was dry.
"Well, the little boss' impromptu singing in the bar not long ago was also captured by Cai Li with a miniature camera..." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
Qin Hai and others immediately opened their eyes wide.
It was really written by Li Qing!
Oh my god, the style of this song has changed so much!
What a monster!
Qin Hai and others were deeply moved. At the same time, they were also extremely curious about the Blue Moon Bar that Li Qing invested and built.
They both saw the potential of Wang Zhong and Cai Li. Wang Zhong can only say that he has been sharpening his sword for ten years and has a solid foundation. But because of the song "Sudden Self", his whole temperament has completely transformed.
, the singing skills are also memorable.
Cai Li, like Bao Yunyun, is an extreme singer. People who like her love her to death, and people who hate her hate her very much.
Different from Bao Yunyun's emotional voice, Cai Li's voice is more charming, with strong stage expressiveness and rendering power. She is a very unique singer.
And when she sang the song "Like You", she felt like the incarnation of the goddess of melancholy. Even though she looked ordinary, people couldn't ignore her existence.
Such two singers are rare to see in ten years, but they are definitely the top ones in the underground singer circle.
According to what the two said, it seems that the singer Bao Yunyun and the young boss Li Qing also came out of the Blue Moon Bar.
At this moment, Qin Hai and others felt that the Blue Moon Bar was very mysterious and attractive——
