Barry's willingness to agree was beyond Li Qing's expectation...
After hanging up the phone, Li Qingdang sent Zhou a text message.
After Zhou saw the text message, he said to Barry with a smile: "You can sign the contract."
"What?" Barry was distracted. Hearing this, he said with some confusion: "Sign the contract?"
Zhou smiled, then dialed a number and called for a lawyer from the company's legal department.
In front of Barry, the lawyer reprinted the previously signed contract for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
However, on the reprinted contract, the name of the work changed to "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and the manuscript tax rate also changed from 15% to 20%.
Barry stared blankly at the contract in his hand, a little confused.
"Dear Zhouzhou, what does this mean?" Barry said strangely.
"It's a publishing contract." Zhou replied in the same strange way.
Barry smiled bitterly: "No...oh...my head is about to get big. Although I promised to sign this contract, I haven't received the manuscript yet! Leesin wants to write the entire manuscript as soon as possible."
Will it take a week?"
When Zhou heard this, he asked Barry to come to the computer on his desk, open the monitor document, point to one of the documents and said: "This is the original manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."
Barry looked at the dense English letters on the monitor and his eyes widened again.
This time, in addition to surprise, there was anger in his eyes.
cheat!
This is naked deception!
However, looking at Zhou's serious eyes, Barry was speechless.
After carefully looking at the word count of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", he finally heartbrokenly signed the publishing contract and got the memory card on which he had copied the manuscript.
Before leaving, Barry held Zhou's hand and said through gritted teeth: "No business without treachery!"
Zhou was stunned for a while before she understood the English meaning of Ba Li. At this moment, she remembered a proverb that Li Qing once said, and even smiled slightly: "How can a person wander in the rivers and lakes without getting stabbed?"
Barry opened his mouth.
Finally, he muttered in frustration: "The Chinese are so cunning!"
Then he walked away.
Zhou Cai didn't care what the other party was muttering about. After receiving Barry, she once again threw herself into the intense work.
Li Qing went to film, but the company was still operating normally, and as time passed, more and more schedules were mentioned.
The first is "I Am a Singer". With the finale of the first season, the championship was won by a newcomer Cai Li without any suspense, while Wang Zhong was ranked fifth in the PK competition the day before.
Nowadays, Cai Li, the winner of "I Am a Singer", can be said to be the first to gain popularity across the country. Her popularity has exploded in all directions, and she has successfully entered the ranks of first-line singers. Her appearance fees and net worth have all skyrocketed!
After the game, every time Cai Li participated in a program, the ratings of the program obviously soared.
A few days have passed, and the media has vaguely compared Cai Li to a new generation of ratings queen.
Of course, this is probably due to the popularity of Cai Li, who won the championship in the first season of "I Am a Singer". The title of first-line singer is a bit strong, but without good works and exposure, Cai Li may be dismissed soon.
Fall into trough.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Cai Li's first album "Itch" also struck while the iron was hot and began to be officially launched into the national market.
First of all, there is no need for songs to be on the charts anymore.
Nowadays, the songs "Itch" and "Inflammable and Explosive", which have appeared many times on Hunan Satellite TV, have been in the top ten of the national radio station's song list for half a month. What Caili can do now is to make her own song
News of the new album reached fans immediately.
So, on Weibo, entertainment news, radio, and variety shows, there was news everywhere that Cai Li was going to release a new album.
The music supermarket was also very cooperative. After many exchanges between the two parties, they decided to hold Cai Li's new album signing event on Valentine's Day, July 7.
The sun was scorching that day, but the autograph session was packed with people, and fans of Cai Li were everywhere shouting.
Cai Li also dressed up to attend, and like most first-tier singers, signed contracts from nine o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon.
Soon, the number of signed copies exceeded 10,000 on the first day, which is almost the same as the results of first-line singers!
Immediately afterwards, under the arrangement of Music Supermarket, Caili held autograph sessions in six iconic cities in the north and south of the country. Each autograph session was extremely smooth.
A week later, the Beijing headquarters of Music Supermarket announced the sales data of the album "Itch".
21165 photos!
In addition to the 11,000 copies that soared due to the autograph session on the first day, in the remaining six days, the album "Itch" was sold at the Beijing Music Supermarket, and more than 10,000 copies were sold!
Calculated according to the 20 times rule, Cai Li’s single-week sales in music supermarkets across the country have easily exceeded 400,000 copies!
Although it did not achieve a single-week gold record certification, it surpassed most first-line singers and was even comparable to some of Leng Ling's past albums.
400,000 copies in a single month, breaking the platinum record in a single month, no pressure at all.
Therefore, after the data was disclosed, Cai Li's net worth once again rose continuously.
As long as she gets the platinum record certification, she will join the ranks of the few platinum singers.
The performance of Cai Li's new album is gratifying, and it also makes many staff members of Hanhai Culture Media very happy. This is the result of everyone's hard work.
A celebration banquet will be held immediately.
Li Husheng, who was filming "Soldier Assault", as well as Qin Hai, Wang Zhong, Shui Mu, etc. all made time to attend the celebration banquet.
At the banquet, Zhou said: "Caili is the first singer launched by the company. Her success also heralds the success of everyone. Next, the record department will successively produce records for all the signed singers under the company, and strive to
By the end of this year, we will achieve the goal of all singers releasing albums!"
Zhou's words made Qin Hai and others' blood boil, and Wang Zhong and Shuimu's team even had tears in their eyes.
They are the only singers currently signed by the company. Even if they come in turns, it will be their turn by the end of the year.
Therefore, they were really grateful for Zhou's promise, and the feeling of a soldier dying for his bosom friend spread in everyone's hearts.
As a popular singer in the domestic music scene, Cai Li has a busy schedule, but as soon as the company calls, she quickly puts aside the work at hand and returns to the headquarters immediately.
However, Jin Xiangyu, the manager who was following Cai Li around the country to do business shows and make money from shows, was obviously a little dissatisfied with the holding of this celebration banquet.
