Chapter 38 The Bystander
On the second floor of the villa, there is a large living room.
The noise and noise downstairs were all isolated. In the sofa area in the center, An Xiaojing's parents were the obvious core figures. Four or five people surrounded them, bursting into laughter from time to time.
At a glance, Xu Zhenghua recognized the boss of Kojima Records, whose surname was Zhou.
He is the oldest of the group. It is said that he is almost 70 years old. He was originally an excessive candidate, but since Kojima Records has been prospering since he joined the company, he has actually settled his seat firmly.
No one noticed that someone else had arrived.
Guan Yulan stood on tiptoe and whispered, "I heard that Kojima Records is wooing her parents. They felt that the liquidated damages signed in the original contract were too low, and they wanted to change the contract. For this reason, they would rather increase the share given to her, and pay her back. I took out a ladder contract. But now several record companies have entered the game. It's only five million, plus the affiliate agreement, it is eight million, and some people are willing to pay this money to buy her!"
Tsk!
This is the mall!
The taste is right.
Xu Zhenghua took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
It feels like I haven’t participated in such a fight for a long time.
In fact, it’s only been less than two months, but it feels like many years have passed.
It’s just that he doesn’t have the capital to play yet.
Just got a little qualification to watch.
calm. calm.
is not far away.
In the business world, "Short Hair" has a very strong momentum, and there are no big-name singers in the near future. It is a high probability event to win consecutive championships next week. The sales volume is unstoppable even if it is two million, and there is a great hope that it will go to three million.
In fact, even if it is not so fierce in the short term, it is still a high probability event that this single will sell three million copies in the long run.
Long Tail Theory!
In other words, the market value created by the single disc of this song is already as high as 18 million!
The gross profit of Kojima Records on this single disc is as high as about 40%.
For this single disc and song alone, the gross profit may exceed 7 million!
That's it, An Xiaojing hasn't posted yet!
The market is blind. Once it takes off, no one can go against it. Everyone will follow the trend and listen to music. However, the market participants may not be so calm - such a popular supernova, with a single debut, the profit will be more than a thousand. Ten thousand?
The liquidated damages of 8 million are only, not expensive.
"Let's go there, you've met her parents, right? Go say hello! I heard that An Xiaojing's parents are very strong, you will continue to cooperate with her in the future, although there is no need to please, but deal with the relationship Well, there's no harm in it, right? Come on..."
Xu Zhenghua grabbed her wrist and pulled her.
"No need!" he said.
Turned his head to see Guan Yulan's somewhat surprised expression, he smiled, "Let's go, go down!"
was about to leave, suddenly someone from the downstairs went upstairs, and after a while, he had come up, "Excuse me!" A man with a camera hanging around his neck was calling for the staff to move up and turn on the lights.
He Jianliang and Lu Ming also quickly went upstairs, "Ha, Zhenghua, you are here!"
"Boss He! Brother Lu!"
"Just right, come, let's go together! Without you, you are not perfect!" He Jianliang put his arms around his shoulders again.
At this time, the photographer was also greeting, "Everyone, let's take a photo together? Commemorate the special moment!"
The sofa area was originally sitting and standing, but at this time, they all got up with a smile.
An's father saw Xu Zhenghua at a glance, with a sincere smile on his face, and greeted, "Hey, isn't this Xiao Xu, come and come, let's take a picture together!"
Xu Zhenghua smiled, agreed, and walked over.
An's mother knocked on the door and called An Xiaojing out. As soon as she came out, she was the first to discover Xu Zhenghua in the crowd - probably because she was too outstanding and too handsome.
"Yeah! You've already come up! I just asked Yuan Wei to go down to find you!"
She ignored the others and ran over with a smile.
"Come on, take pictures first!"
An Xiaojing turned around and agreed, then looked up at Xu Zhenghua with a smile on her face, "Then let's talk about it later, I don't have any activities today, I have time! Come on..."
She suddenly stretched out her hand, hugged Xu Zhenghua's arm, and dragged him forward, "Take a picture together!"
Guan Yulan was a little relieved, smiled from a distance, and watched a large group of people start to arrange and take pictures.
The lights were arranged, An Xiaojing hugged Xu Zhenghua's arm and sat down.
Sitting in the front, standing and lying on the couch in the back - that's the plan, it seems.
He Jianliang is coordinating everyone's positions.
An Xiaojing and her parents, as well as a vice president of Fang Xipo Records, and CEO Zhou of Xiaodao Records, sat in the front row, and himself in the back row, An Xiaojing's manager Lu Ming Wait for a lot of tickets to be eligible for a photo.
But when he turned around, he found that An Xiaojing was holding Xu Zhenghua's arm and pulled him to sit on the sofa, while the two bosses couldn't find a place to sit, so he couldn't help frowning, "Uh...Xiaojing, Zhenghua should stand. Go to the back, Zhenghua, come, stand here!"
An Xiaojing was stunned for a moment.
Xu Zhenghua lowered his head and smiled, patted An Xiaojing's hand, broke away, then got up and walked to the back row.
An Xiaojing's gaze just followed his back like that, chasing after him until he went to the corner and stood still, but never looked back.
A look of unease suddenly appeared on her face.
But when she opened her mouth, she looked left and right, with the bosses on one side, her parents on the other, and the person in front of them who was in charge of arranging the station was her own manager.
It seems that he is not qualified to ask for anything.
So everyone went back to their places, and An Xiaojing had to sit down and smile at the camera.
Crack!
Crack!
"Okay, now let's take a group photo alone. Whoever wants to take a photo with Miss An, please come one by one! Miss An, you can sit down and don't move!"
So An Xiaojing kept a smile on her face, waiting for people to come over and take pictures with her.
From time to time, he turned his head and glanced to find Xu Zhenghua's location.
"Xiao Xu, right? You know, the song is well written!"
He Jianliang personally introduced Xu Zhenghua to the boss of Kojima Records, Zhou Zhengchang.
Today is a big day for Kojima Records. Even the boss came over in person, and other senior executives of the company should have come too. The only thing I didn’t see was Du Xuelan’s manager, Vice President Liu Ju.
Since today is He Jianliang's highlight, Liu Ju is of course unwilling to come.
But no matter how infighting or rivalry the two of them fought, all the final results and all the glory were obviously indispensable to Mr. Zhou—he was the real helm of Kojima Records.
The old man is said to be a layman. He joined the record industry as an executive when he was almost fifty years old. His past management performance should be okay, so he was hired by Kojima Records after two years of retirement to make a transition. I didn't expect the old man to do a good job when he came, and he himself was rejuvenated like a second spring. Now that his seat is stuck, he is unwilling to retire.
The leader of Kojima Records, Liu Defeng, was the one he signed and brought over back then, and it was his trump card—of course, everyone knows that Liu Defeng was seriously out of breath, and his last album barely passed the platinum record line. The production and promotion of his record cost a lot of money, so regardless of the platinum record, it is hard to say whether Kojima Records made a profit or lost.
But as a company manager, as long as the company's overall development momentum is good, no one dares to provoke his authority for the time being—besides, everyone estimates that he has reached his age after all, and they are all patient and waiting.
He Jianliang introduced Xu Zhenghua to a vice president of Xipo Records, also surnamed He.
After shaking hands, the boss also patted Xu Zhenghua on the shoulder and encouraged, "You are very good, you and Xiaojing are a match made in heaven, and we will continue to cooperate well in the future. If you have time, you can come to Xipo Records to play around."
scene words.
That's it.
After dealing with the two bosses, Xu Zhenghua looked back.
An Xiaojing was still taking pictures, but Luo Guangming was sitting next to her.
what!
I didn't expect that he would come here today.
This is... regret?
Strictly speaking, he was the one who really discovered An Xiaojing.
If Xu Zhenghua hadn't stepped in, An Xiaojing's first single should have been produced by him.
Later, as part of the transaction, Xu Zhenghua agreed to let him take a name and be the producer of "Short Hair", but this old man arrogantly refused.
It seems that He Jianliang is planning to put Luo Guangming in An Xiaojing's album next?
Now, as long as you are not a fool, you can guess that with the hit of "Short Hair", An Xiaojing's debut album will not be bad as long as it is not too stretched.
Being able to leave his name on such an album can be a part of a glorious resume for any musician.
very good.
Sure enough.
Guan Yulan finished socializing with the bosses over there, and came over, "What's wrong? Why are you in a daze, go take a group photo! Just now I saw Xiaojing's eyes have been looking for you!"
"No, you're wrong, she's not looking for me."
Xu Zhenghua smiled, "Let's go, go down and find something to eat, then take me home!"
