Chapter 297

Shuntian Prefecture, a certain hotel.

The lights are on.

At six o'clock, Wang Jingxue, Sima Duoduo and Xie Bing arrived one after another.

Together with Sun Ruoxuan as the host, the four sisters sat down in the luxury box, drinking water and chatting.

It seemed that they had made an appointment, and none of the four of them brought an assistant. This private gathering also excluded the manager, Sister Wu.

Moreover, Zhou Pingping didn't come either.

It's just that the sisters in Xiaoju tacitly ignored this matter.

Although no one has ever asked, since the renewal of the contract has been put on the agenda, Zhou Pingping is always the most positive one in every interview with the outside world. Said that the company treats her sisters very well, so that the sisters who often get along day and night know very well that she has probably received better treatment and conditions from the company, and it seems that she is determined to stay behind.

It's just...she expressed her opinions on behalf of everyone again and again, so she was wishful thinking.

The company should have given her quite good treatment, but it didn't give the treatment that moved her to other people. If you continue to stay, you may earn a lot of money, but once you renew the contract, it will be the same. Contract of sale.

Now Wuxingwusu has become very popular, and all the sisters in the group have made a lot of money, but the group Wuxingwusu belongs to the company, and what everyone signs is actually just a work contract. For the few girls who are now fledgling, who wants to continue like this?

You know, for those of them who are young, their golden period is especially short!

Sign for another five years. After five years, you will be 30 years old, but you still don't have your own brand. At that time, the company chooses not to renew the contract, and just replace it with a few young and beautiful girls. What should you do?

In short, no one is willing to put their future in the hands of the company with confidence.

What's more, Huage Records' style of "crossing the river and tearing down bridges" is now notorious in the industry!

So, seeing that the contract signed that year was about to expire, and the contract with Huage was really not satisfactory to everyone. After several rounds of negotiations, the other party insisted that the brand of Wuxingwusu must belong to the company and give each of them a publishing The share is also clinging to the 2.5%, and even the commission for commercial performances is unwilling to let go... To put it bluntly, the company is actually predicting that everyone will not be willing to abandon the already famous Wuxingwusu brand!

But in fact, all the way to the present, the red has been popular, and the rush has been rushed, and everyone's mind has long been experienced.

Red, not because of Hua Ge, but because of Hua Ge.

So what else is there to shoot? Changing a company to fly solo, it might not make you unable to meet people, right?

And to take a step back, even if it is a pounce, even if it is only based on the name of the past member of Wuxingwusu, where can it go? It's better than staying in Huage and only getting a share of money for five people, right?

So, in the past month, the sisters in the group have started to show their magical powers, and have been secretly and frequently contacting various record companies in Shuntianfu.

But today, when Sun Ruoxuan made a phone call and specifically reminded her to "don't tell the assistant", everyone immediately understood that the assistants around everyone are all assigned by the company, and they may not be all for themselves.

It was almost seven o'clock.

The girls in the room were still chatting enthusiastically, no one asked why Sun Ruoxuan didn't serve the food since he was a treat, everyone was waiting patiently.

Moreover, everyone didn't even ask who Sun Ruoxuan invited.

Outsiders don't know, but the sisters in a group are all very clear in their hearts-recently Sun Ruoxuan and Minghu Culture are very close, and what they say is naturally unavoidable. .

At three past seven, someone knocked on the door, and then opened the door to enter.

Seeing the person coming, the girls immediately showed a "sure enough" expression on their faces, and then they all stood up quickly.

That's right, it was Qi Jie who came.

She is wearing a capable work skirt, with short hair over the ears, and a sincere and sweet smile.

The people of Wu Xing Wu Su have all been to Li Qian's studio for countless times, so they naturally know each other.

Qi Jie apologized as soon as she entered the door: "I've kept everyone waiting for a long time, forgive me, it's really a traffic jam!"

Everyone smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we just arrived."

So politely, everyone sat down, Sun Ruoxuan took the initiative to ask Luo to start serving dishes, Qi Jie thanked Sun Ruoxuan, and then chatted with Wang Jingxue, Xie Bing and Sima Duoduo with a smile on his face.

It's small talk, it's small talk, Qi Jie didn't mention a word about contracts, Minghu culture, or even topics that were slightly related to the record industry.

Everyone was about the same age, and they were all girls, so there was no shortage of common topics. So, from clothes to cosmetics, to houses, cars, and even hiring babysitters, etc., we chatted and became more and more familiar with each other soon.

When the dishes came, because everyone drove here by themselves, they just opened a bottle of red wine, and everyone poured the bottom of a glass. Everyone just tasted it before stopping.

After eating, the waiter brought tea, Qi Jie smiled and said: "In the past month, the music circle in Shuntian Mansion is a bit undercurrent, and everyone is working hard. Stealing people! How about it, there are quite a few companies you have contacted with, right? How are the conditions given?"

Everyone just smiled, Wang Jingxue didn't speak, Xie Bing just laughed since seeing Qi Jie entered the room, and didn't speak at this time, so Sima Duoduo had no choice but to say: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Qi, I have met a lot. However, they are still talking, this kind of thing is based on the sincerity of each other, whoever lacks a little can't agree, right?"

Qi Jie smiled and nodded, "Of course, sincerity is the most important thing!"

While talking, she smiled and said: "We are all old friends. Although Minghu Culture has not been established for a long time, the cooperation between us has been going on for a long time. The relationship between our boss and you guys is even more important. I don’t need to say more. I asked Ruoxuan to invite you here today, and I came here with sincerity. How about you, consider our Minghu culture?”

When she asked this question, naturally no one answered.

Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing remained silent, but after a while, Sima Duoduo looked up at Sun Ruoxuan.

Seeing this, Sun Ruoxuan smiled and said: "You talk about you, I am the one who serves tea and water! However, we are all sisters, so I still have to reveal a little bit. Mr. Qi told me to create a new group , three albums in three years, my commission starts at 5%, commercial performances and endorsements, both the group and the company split half and half. Of course, if you can negotiate better conditions, that would be the best, and I will follow you too , sit on the ground and raise the price!"

Everyone laughed.

But after laughing, Sima Duoduo still showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

First, because we still need to build a combination. Now that this meaning has been revealed, it is obvious that if we can attract a few people from Wuxingwusu and give them a new name, of course we can attract the fans who originally belonged to Wuxingwusu to the greatest extent. But, in that case, who does this combination belong to? Will the final result be no different from staying in Huage?

Second, five percent, half for commercial performances, this condition, compared to their treatment in Wuxingwusu, is naturally considered very high, but compared with the conditions offered by other record companies, it can only It's average treatment.

Among other things, at least in other record companies, she will be an independent singer who can release records by herself, and the other party directly promised 8% to take off, as long as she sells one million copies, she can get a hundred Nine out of 10!

Sima Duoduo is confident, even if she flies solo, as long as the song selection is done well, I dare not say that it is too good, a million copies, it should not be a big problem-you know, when she was in Wuxingwusu, even if she was The "Let Me Fly" that hit the street in the middle has sold more than two million copies so far!

What's more, those companies have already promised that when the new album is released, they will respect her personal wishes to the greatest extent in terms of song selection, that is to say, she can decide which song to choose or not to choose. Calculate!

As for his ability to choose songs, Sima Duoduo is still very confident.

She thinks that after experiencing peaks and troughs, she now has a considerable ability to judge whether a song is good or not, and whether it can be popular when it is released!

So, facing the condition that Qi Jie set out... Of course, she would not like it very much.

But at this time, before Sima Duoduo could say anything, Sun Ruoxuan suddenly said: "Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention, Mr. Qi said that for the three albums in the new group, Mr. Perform at least six songs!"

With a swipe, Sima Duoduo's eyes lit up.

A few percent is not important, the important thing is that you can sell well!

Sell ​​1 million copies, get more than 8%? Or sell 3 million copies and get more than 5%?

Such a simple topic, naturally anyone can understand it!

What's more, the amount of album sales commission is still a small matter. Once it becomes popular, the subsequent commercial performances and endorsements will be the big ones!

After staying in Huage Records for these years, no matter when they were penniless or when they became popular, they were always driven by the company to run commercial performances. They are naturally familiar with the market situation in this area: the album sells for one One million copies, then they can only be counted as second-tier singers. If they accept commercial performances, it will be good if they last 580,000 for a show, but if they sell 3 million copies, if the other party does not give more than 300,000 for one show, it will be impossible. I have no face to quote!

In the same way, the 80,000 is all his own, and it is not more than one-third of the 300,000!

Three albums, six songs by Li Qian... To be honest, although Sima Duoduo wanted to go solo, and had great confidence in his solo career, he hesitated unknowingly .

Because she knew very well in her heart that with this condition, it meant that the newly formed group was more than 99% sure that it would not hit the street!

On the one hand, I rely on myself, the future is still unknown, but I can get the greatest freedom and become an independent singer; on the other hand, I join Minghu, and through another group, I will become popular again...

For a moment, the room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone started serving tea one after another, as if tacitly giving Sima Duoduo time to think.

After hesitating for a long time, Sima Duoduo smiled, raised his head and asked, "Then this combination..."

Qi Jie heard that, before she finished speaking, she put down the tea bowl and said directly: "It belongs to you!"

Sima Duoduo's eyes lit up again when he heard the words, but at this time, Qi Jie unexpectedly continued: "But it also belongs to our Minghu culture."

Seeing Sima Duoduo's puzzled expression, Qi Jie smiled and said, "To be honest, your teacher Li Qian has told me many times. He said that in the final analysis, the music circle and the art circle sell talents. .So, it's because of people, not because of things. One day, if you get tired of staying in Minghu, just go, you can get out, fly solo, or create a new group, as long as you If you have strength, you can still be popular."

"It's just like we are going to form a new group now, and we are confident that we will support her as we did before. It is one thing. We are not going to make any publicity that you are the former members of Wuxingwusu. We are looking for you. I want to sign you all because of your strength and experience."

Speaking of this, she slowed down, and then said: "We will not keep this combination in our hands, like Hua Ge treats you, and treat you as a money-making machine. But on the other hand, we must have checks and balances means, and will never allow in the future, when the contract expires, let you jump to other companies with the signboard of this combination. Because building this combination and brand, our strength is indispensable. So, I say, this Once the combination is established, it belongs to both of us, and if we can't continue to cooperate in the future, then this brand will be dusty, and no one can use it without the other party."

Qi Jie's words made sense here, and Sun Ruoxuan obviously heard it long ago, so she nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "This contract is for five years, and I plan to follow Teacher Li Qian to make good money. , and then... five years later, whoever said it right, maybe by that time, I will be the host!"

After finishing speaking, her eyes stayed on Sima Duoduo for a moment, then turned to Xie Bing.

Everyone could see Sima Duoduo's hesitation. This was purely a personal wish and could not be forced. However, since Xie Bing entered this room, he almost didn't say a word, which made Sun Ruoxuan a little puzzled.

In this room, who has the best relationship with Minghu Culture?

Some outsiders may think it is Wang Jingxue, after all, many people in the circle now know that Wang Jingxue has a younger sister who is Li Qian's woman. Even in the circle, there are some nasty gossips, saying that Wang Jingxue had slept with her brother-in-law in exchange for a period of beautiful splendor for Wuxing Wusu. But as a sister in a group, everyone knows in their hearts that Wang Jingxue's temperament... Maybe Li Qian will look at her sister's sake to a certain extent and give her some face, but I really want to say that the closest relationship , but definitely not her.

It was Xie Bing.

Wang Jingxue's younger sister is Li Qian's woman, but Xie Bing herself had some entanglements with Li Qian!

At this time, when she noticed Sun Ruoxuan's gaze, Xie Bing raised her head and smiled sweetly and cleanly, then she noticed that Qi Jie's gaze also turned around, and she wondered, "Why are you looking at me like that? "

Sun Ruoxuan shrugged, while Qi Jie smiled and asked, "Bingbing, what did you think about it? I only heard Duoduo asking, but I didn't hear you talking. Tell me what you thought about it."

Xie Bing smiled upon hearing this, "That's Mr. Li Qian's company, I have nothing to say, no matter what the conditions are, I agree."

Sima Duoduo turned her head to look in surprise, but soon, she was relieved.

Xie Bing, this girl, don't look timid, but she is very determined. If she likes Li Qian, then she likes Li Qian. It is estimated that even if Li Qian said at this moment, I have to sell you, and then change it. For money, she can smile and nod, not to mention that this is the company that signed Li Qian, from now on, as soon as the tip of the pen falls, she will be able to meet her Prince Charming day and night!

Therefore, her words are simply worthless.

Then, Sima Duoduo looked at Wang Jingxue.

Although in her opinion, it is very likely that Wang Jingxue will also choose to agree to sign with Minghu Culture. After all, her relationship with Li Qian is quite close, so her decision may not have much reference value.

But... Anyway, I have to listen first before talking.

But at this time, what she didn't expect was that Wang Jingxue noticed the eyes of everyone, but she just smiled reluctantly, then looked at herself, and said slowly: "Duo Duo, you go, go over there, talk to Xiao Bing , Ruoxuan and the three of you forming a new group are a good thing. I believe that Li Qian will not treat you badly! As for me, I have already contacted the record company. After the automatic termination, I will sign with them."

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Qi Jie, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Mr. Qi, I'm afraid we can't cooperate anymore."

Qi Jie was a little surprised.

Before coming here, frankly speaking, no matter whether it was her, Sun Meimei, or Sun Ruoxuan who was in charge of making connections, none of them actually considered Wang Jingxue's matter... This is obvious, how could the boss's sister-in-law go to another company? ?

Unexpectedly, Xie Bing agreed without even thinking about it, and Sima Duoduo hesitated, but it seemed that he could almost win it with a little persuasion, but only Wang Jingxue was the only one who was the most unlucky in everyone's opinion. The person who worked so hard actually announced directly: There is nothing to talk about!

At this moment, even Qi Jie was caught off guard.

Twirling her fingers, she nodded slowly, laughed, and said, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more." While speaking, she picked up the teacup and said, "Bring this glass of water, I wish you a bright future. In addition, Minghu Culture welcomes you at any time!"

Wang Jingxue lowered her head and remained silent for a moment.

Then, she raised her head, smiled, and reached out to pick up the cup, with a rare tenderness in her eyes.

There was a "ding".

I touched Qi Jie. Then she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

It's like drinking up the wind and snow.
