Chen Minhao felt like he was slapped in the face.
Yesterday, he felt that the theme song of a movie would not earn much money, far less than the income from endorsements and advertising.
But the facts told him that a movie theme song could make his wallet suddenly swell.
Kang happily called Chen Minhao at 7 o'clock to announce the good news: "Fan Tong's initial quotation was 2 million yuan, but in fact, my initial psychological price and market conditions should be around 1 million yuan. I didn't expect that he would open the price immediately after he opened the quotation." so tall.
I thought there were some changes that I didn't understand, so I planned to ask you and then give him a reply. I told him on the phone that we might need to discuss it before we can give an answer.
Unexpectedly, he directly added another 1 million yuan, which was 3 million yuan.
I thought he was crazy, so I wanted to test his bottom line. Can I just say 4 million? I didn't expect that he agreed without counter-offering. "
Chen Minhao frowned and said, "Isn't 4 million too high? If I follow this quotation, my theme songs will be priceless in the future."
The popular explanation for having a price but no market is that the price of an item is very high, and people recognize its price, but there are few people willing to spend money to buy it, so it is difficult to sell it.
Kang Hui smiled and said: "It's indeed a bit high, and I didn't plan to ask for this price. After all, if you really charge so much money, it will easily destroy the friendship between you and Director Zhao.
Well, you go back and talk to the producer Fan Tong and say: You think 3 million is enough, and you have convinced the agency. After all, we are all in the same circle, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
In a circle, reputation is sometimes more important than money.
Moreover, I think Fan Tong is a very powerful producer and is worth getting to know deeply. If you sell him one now, you might be able to use him in the future. By the way, I think his publicity strategy is feasible. He and I will further communicate the details, and we will also give a heads-up to the "Detective" crew in advance. "
After hanging up the phone, Chen Minhao dialed the number directly and said, "Teacher Fan, are you busy? Is it convenient to talk on the phone now?"
"You're not busy, Xiao Chen. I'm having breakfast on the first floor. Would you like to come down and have something together?"
Chen Minhao felt that the quotation should not be discussed in public, but he felt a little hungry when he felt his stomach. He decided to eat something first and then communicate with Fan Tong.
When Chen Minhao arrived at the cafeteria on the first floor, several staff members greeted Chen Minhao warmly when they saw him.
Chen Minhao understood that Fan Tongyi was sitting alone at the table by the window. There were four baked buns and a cup of tea on the plate in front of him.
When Fan Tong saw Chen Minhao, he immediately asked him to sit over and said, "The baked buns from Northern Xinjiang have a crispy skin and a delicious filling. Tell the waiter how many you want to eat."
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment. Could it be that there are four buns on your table and you eat them alone
The steamed buns in the north are not the xiaolongbao in the south. They are all about the size of a fist. Chen Minhao suddenly felt that Fan Tong's parents had some foresight when they named him.
Two buns went into Chen Minhao's stomach, which was considered breakfast. Chen Minhao didn't like procrastination in doing things. After seeing Fan Tong finish all four buns, he said, "Teacher Fan, how about we go to your room to sit down?"
Fan Tong was stunned for a moment and asked with a horrified look on his face: "What do you want to do? I'm not the kind of producer you think of. You can't get a role through this method."
As soon as Chen Minhao heard Fan Tong's words, he knew that he was thinking wrongly and thought to himself: Damn it. But Chen Minhao still tried his best to say calmly: "I mainly want to talk to you about the quotation of the theme song. It is not convenient here."
Fan Tong rubbed his old face and said awkwardly: "Something happened in the main circle recently, and my brain suddenly stopped."
The two took the elevator and entered Fan Tong's room on the 7th floor of the hotel.
As soon as he entered the door, Fan Tong made Chen Minhao a cup of tea and said, "The buns just now were a bit greasy. Let's drink a cup of tea and rinse your mouth."
Chen Minhao did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I think my agent's offer of 4 million yesterday was too high. We need to re-negotiate."
Fan Tong was stunned for a moment and said: "Didn't I make it clear yesterday? I have already agreed to this quotation. Although this quotation is considered top-notch among the quotations for theme songs, I think Chen Minhao, you are worth this price. 4 million is not available. questionable."
Chen Minhao nodded slightly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the price is too high. My agent actually didn't want so much money. She just wanted to test your bottom line. Unexpectedly, you agreed directly."
Fan Tong stared at Chen Minhao silently. After being silent for more than ten seconds, he said: "In so many years, you are the first artist I have encountered who pushed the price down.
Zhao Yao said you are very smart, but I think you are too stupid. Isn’t this just letting the money go out? If my son was as prodigal as you, I would definitely break his legs. "
Chen Minhao said frustratedly: "I also feel that I am quite stupid, but I feel a little guilty about receiving 4 million for one song. Let's just do 3 million."
Fan Tong nodded slightly, took a big sip of tea and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say, but don't go back on it. Your agent agreed to you reducing the offer, and she is also a weirdo."
Fan Tong sent Chen Minhao to the elevator. On the way back to the room, he murmured to himself: "But if my son has a partner like Chen Minhao, I will still be very relieved and let my son Collaborate more deeply with him.”
Chen Minhao flew back to Kyoto the next day and contacted Wu Hongrong to record the song.
Chen Minhao is now very familiar with recording songs.
"The end of the world is windy sand, the story of the mortal world is called care, the sealing sword is hidden in ordinary people's homes, under the east fence, there are wandering clouds and wild cranes in the ancient temple, fast horses are fighting in the rivers and lakes, it is nothing more than fame and fortune, how can a person who has a country in his heart be happy? Chic and unrestrained…”
As a good friend of Zhao Yao, Wu Hongrong naturally has read the script of "The Sword of Questioning".
The key to the role of the theme song is whether it fits the movie. This is the consensus of industry insiders.
Wu Hongrong listened to Chen Minhao sing "Red Dust Inn" several times, and every time he would point out the shortcomings of Chen Minhao's singing skills.
While Wu Hongrong was humming along, the scenes in the script could not help but appear in his mind.
Wu Hongrong couldn't figure out how Chen Minhao was able to create such a theme song that fit the movie in such a short time, and the lyrics and composition were both great.
Finally, Wu Hongrong couldn't help it anymore and asked the questions in his heart.
"Chen Minhao, do you have any unique tips when composing songs? We are so familiar with each other, can you share them?"
When Wu Hongrong said this, he blushed slightly.
After all, in a sense, he was Chen Minhao's senior. He never expected that he would have to ask Chen Minhao for advice on recruitment.
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wu Hongrong to ask this question. He thought seriously for a while and said, "I don't know exactly. It's possible, maybe it's talent, right?"
Hearing Chen Minhao's answer, Wu Hongrong felt that he suddenly turned into a violent boy: He wanted to hit someone!
Chen Minhao saw the corners of Wu Hongrong's mouth twitching a few times, but no words came out. Chen Minhao seemed to hear Wu Hongrong's heartbroken voice.
But what can he do? Chen Minhao himself is also very desperate. He can't tell others that he has traveled through time and has many songs in his head!
Forget it, from now on just be a "talent party" that everyone hates.
Wu Hongrong waited for his eyes and said: "Don't think that you can create and you will be fine. Now listen to your singing skills, listen to the contrast of the strength of your articulation, and the support of your breath. It's not as good as the previous one. Now go back and sing again." "
When Wu Hongrong saw Chen Minhao walking back to the closed recording studio, he sighed heavily. He was both afraid that Chen Minhao's singing skills had not improved, and he was also afraid that Chen Minhao's singing skills had improved too quickly.
