Chapter 170 Cooperation Negotiated/The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Hearing this, Jiang Kan was slightly shocked.
It turns out that the system has really taken this situation into consideration. It is truly an unknown black technology product that can predict the future...
"Okay, I think this shouldn't be a problem."
Jiang Kan's answer surprised Zhang Lingling, but the two people who were looking forward to it were not too shocked.
After all, they have met many lyricists who are proficient in several languages and have experienced many international cooperations.
No matter how difficult it is, you can write the lyrics in the native language first, and then have a translator translate them carefully to meet the standards of "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance".
Zhang Lingling happened to think so too, so she thought Jiang Kan would also use this translation method to complete the commission. After being slightly surprised, she immediately closed her mouth and showed herself a perfect smile again.
Subsequently, the two parties discussed various details of the cooperation.
With the help of Zhang Lingling's skillful negotiation skills and the rich industry experience of colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce who came after hearing the news, both parties finally negotiated a copyright transfer fee that was acceptable to both parties.
Jiang Kan will provide "Midnight Dining Hall" with a song "The Wind Rises" with lyrics in Fuso, which will be completed within a week.
According to the agreement, he can separately receive a 300,000 yuan thank you fee from the crew, and a 3% share of various after-tax income earned after the third season of the show (the season that uses the song as the ending theme) is broadcast in China.
The names of the composers and lyricists no longer use Jiang Kan's stage name "Kan Kan Er Tan", but directly use his real name "Jiang Kan".
This article is mainly used to promote his personal fame, because the stage name is not unique. Many people can use this idiom as their stage name, and the direction is not unique.
In fact, Jiang Kan also mentioned this to Zhang Lingling. Nowadays, there are many Internet celebrities, anchors, and artists in China whose names have the word "kan" in them, and they all use "talking" as their stage names. From now on.
Maybe it would be better for me to use my real name for publicity. The two of them have been discussing this matter recently.
"Well, that's what we have agreed upon with you. I hope we can have a happy cooperation this time and if there is an opportunity in the future!"
The two Fuso Kingdom crew members stood up and bowed solemnly to Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling at ninety degrees.
Jiang and Kan immediately stood up, bowed slightly and nodded in return. However, since they were not in the habit of bowing deeply, the degree of bending was only about 30 degrees.
Watching the elevator doors closing for the two of them, Zhang Lingling and Jiang Kan finally relaxed from the smiles that had been on their faces from the beginning.
"Ah, I'm so tired... It's like this when talking to people from Fuso Kingdom. My face almost froze with laughter, and I had to keep nodding in agreement..."
Zhang Lingling rubbed her already stiff face and complained helplessly.
"But this is also a good thing. Not to mention that you can also get 10% of the 3% brokerage fee this time. Just 10% of the 300,000 yuan is 30,000 yuan. How about it? Think about it this way.
Aren’t you happy again?”
Jiang Kan also had a stiff smile on his face, but when he thought that he would soon earn a large amount of money, he felt so happy that he wanted to sing "The Wind Rises" loudly.
His income this time was also quite generous, with 300,000 yuan received directly, and he will also receive a 3% share of the revenue from the series in the future.
Although it is not possible to speculate on the specific amount right now, this "Late Night Diner" is a very popular drama in East Asia. It is expected that the income in the future will not be as much as those of domestic dramas.
Little money.
What's more important is that the copyright is permanently valid, and the share of a song can be used for a lifetime. Even if the revenue received from broadcasting the show thirty or fifty years later, Jiang Kan can still get dividends from it.
"Hehe, this is also thanks to Brother Kan. I made the right choice to transfer here from the Magic City during this period. I have meat to eat with Brother Kan, hahaha!"
Zhang Xiaofupo Lingling was also smiling at this time, and no longer had the depressed feeling after being woken up by someone's phone call early in the morning on weekends.
…
Twelve noon, Yanjing, somewhere.
In a private room of a high-end hotel, several young people in their twenties and thirties were gathering together to have a lively drink.
"Ha, Xiao Li, you did a good job this time. You were covert and fast. You helped the man named Liu get a lot of hype and completely ruined his reputation. Come on, I respect you.
One cup!”
The speaker was surprisingly Dong Qibin’s manager Chen Zhengsheng, who is also a front-line singer with Liu Yiliang!
"Haha, Brother Chen is so polite. I still remember that when we were in trouble, it was Brother Chen who gave us a hand and gave us a chance to turn around..."
The young man known as Xiao Li stood up respectfully, holding a two-tael wine glass in both hands, which was filled with transparent high-quality liquor exuding a rich aroma.
"And Xiao Wang, it's all thanks to you this time. Without your help, this scandal would not have spread so quickly and so fiercely... Come on, Brother Chen will give you a toast too!"
He extended his right hand holding the wine glass to another capable woman who was also in her early thirties, with a proud and excited smile on her face.
"Haha, Brother Chen is so award-winning. I just made a small contribution with our fan group. Isn't this all for Sister Dong? I have been suppressed by Feiyang and Xinghai for so many years. It's not easy for me to have a chance.
First, we fans can make a little contribution to her, which can be regarded as fulfilling a long-term wish of ours... Come on, Brother Chen, do it!"
The two raised their glasses, and Chen Zhengsheng and Chen Zhengsheng raised their necks together. Twenty ounces of white wine went down their throats, making the three of them keep making "hissing" sounds.
"You did a great job this time. What's particularly commendable is that your actions were very covert, so that they haven't found out who did it until now..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Zhengsheng took a large mouthful of vegetables and put it into his mouth, chewed it several times and swallowed it before continuing.
"It's no wonder that they are professionals...the fan group always does things safely!"
He turned his head and looked at the seven or eight key personnel sitting around him.
"But you also have to be careful. They are investigating everywhere now. Xinghai's connections are not hidden. You should keep a low profile during this period and don't reveal any clues. Do you understand?"
After saying good things, the beating started again. Chen Zhengsheng took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and put it on his mouth. Immediately, a man next to him took out a lighter and lit it.
"Pfft~"
Chen Zhengsheng took a deep breath of smoke and then spit it out. A large smoke ring floated in the air, showing his excellent mood at the moment.
Isn't that right? The new guy I brought along is top notch in terms of his singing skills and Typhoon skills.
But there’s just one bad thing – I don’t like the hype!
He said that he wanted to make his career clean and leave no regrets, which made him, the agent, shake his head every time, but he had nothing to do with her. He could not force her to do what she wanted.
What he doesn't want to do is not a third- or fourth-tier starlet, so he can do it as he pleases.
Since my singers are not willing to do it, I have no choice but to do it myself as my manager.
This is such a good opportunity, only tens of thousands of downloads away from the first place. I have never had an opportunity so close to the first place before, and I don’t know how long it will be before I meet again.
Moreover, getting the first place is a huge achievement within Guangguang Entertainment. Compared with second place and third place, they are simply not the same level of rewards!
The additional reward for the second place on the monthly song list is 500,000 yuan for the singer and 50,000 yuan for the agent, and the third place is 300,000 yuan for the singer and 30,000 yuan for the agent.
And what is the number one?
The singer will receive an additional bonus of 2 million, and the manager will receive an additional bonus of 200,000!
And no matter how well they did in the previous year, as long as they can get first place once, then their year-end performance appraisal will be an A!
So, when faced with such a big temptation and such a close distance, Chen Zhengsheng's inner DNA for victory stirred!
So he mobilized the social connections he had developed over the years, began to contact some trustworthy media and trolls, and began a smear campaign against Liu Yiliang.
The incident happened suddenly, so even if Liu Yiliang immediately launched a crisis public relations operation, it could not stop the fermentation of public opinion. In just a few days, his reputation had been blackened to an extremely bad level!
And the songs of his singer Dong Qibin naturally moved up one place and won the first place in sales in January.
