Chapter 189 What Request Can I Make?
"Let's paddle together,
The boat pushes the waves.
The sea reflects the beautiful white tower,
Surrounded by green trees and red walls.
......"
In the evening, in the karaoke room, Zhang Jiaqi was practicing singing.
The accompaniment has not been recorded yet, she is singing a cappella now.
I just recorded two songs in a week, and the next plan is to record one song a week, so there is no need to hurry.
Lu Xin nodded secretly while listening, although Zhang Jiaqi sang relatively smoothly even though he had just gotten the lyrics and was just familiar with the melody.
After the accompaniment comes out, practice with the accompaniment for a while, and you should be ready to record.
Lu Xin asked Zhang Jiaqi to record nursery rhymes at the beginning, although it was because of Zhang Yan's illness at the time, but even if there was no such emergency, he would still choose Zhang Jiaqi.
Willing, one is that her voice is in good condition, which is naturally very important.
But there is another point that is also very important, that is, her sense of music.
The sense of music has something to do with her practicing piano since she was a child, but most of them are innate. Some people are born with a sense of music and know where the rhythm changes.
But some people can't.
And Zhang Jiaqi is born with a strong sense of music, and she can be regarded as the type of food given by God.
After singing, just as Lu Xin was about to say something, he found his phone vibrating.
"Practice for another half an hour, and send Xiaoqi back."
He held the mobile phone in his hand and said to Ling Xue who was beside him.
The contract between Ling Xue and Maggie has not yet expired, and they can't do much recently, they basically stay in the studio.
Help Zhang Jiaqi practice songs, help Wan Ya record the accompaniment, and sometimes practice musical instruments with Feng Jun and the others.
Of course, I also practice singing by myself every day.
Seeing Ling Xue nodding, Lu Xin walked out of the karaoke room.
Looking down, it was an unfamiliar number.
After thinking about it, he still connected.
Lu Xin originally changed his mobile phone number, and only a few people knew the number, but unexpectedly, it was spread out again not long after.
Including the last time Lin Mengxiang and Pedro came over, it was easy to find his number and make a call before coming.
This time I don't know who it is.
When the call was connected, he was stunned.
After Zhou Huaiyong left KK, the new general manager was Wang Tao, of course he knew this.
What he didn't expect was that Wang Tao would come to him.
Soon, the two met at a teahouse.
"President Wang, why did you come to this small place?"
Pour a cup of tea for Wang Tao, Lu Xin asked with a smile.
He is not familiar with Wang Tao, and he has not even met him, but when the other party comes, he still has to entertain him.
He could also guess a thing or two about Wang Tao's intentions.
Of course, Lu Xin has no illusions about KK now.
"Of course I came to visit Teacher Lu. I don't feel relieved to let others come over, so I just came by myself."
Looking at Lu Xin, Wang Tao was actually full of emotions.
He originally planned to come here in person, but not now, but as Zheng Qinglan said, he would wait until Tang Wen's album sold enough to double platinum.
But after he went back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should make the trip as soon as possible, otherwise, if he waited another month, maybe things would change.
What's more, if others don't know how Tang Wen's album is promoted, how can he not know?
It is not meaningful.
On the day Lu Xin released the new nursery rhyme, he finally made a decision after listening to the song, so he came.
As an executive of a music platform, he may not be so professional, but it is impossible for him to know nothing about songs.
From his point of view, those two nursery rhymes were at least as good as those in the original "Grateful Heart".
And "Grateful Heart" can be regarded as an album that can leave a mark in the history of nursery rhymes, both in terms of sales volume and quality.
It is actually very difficult to maintain such a level.
But Lu Xin did it, and each song was ordered 50 times in just three days, which also proved the extraordinaryness of the song.
This made Wang Tao understand that he really should come.
"Mr. Lu, I won't talk about turning the corner. This time, I hope to reach a cooperation."
He considered his words and said, "There may have been some misunderstandings between us before, and now I apologize to Mr. Lu in person."
Wang Tao knew that the KK platform removed Lu Xin's songs from the shelves and blocked other singers and record companies from contacting him. It was indeed a bit too much.
Although he hadn't taken office at that time, he can only come forward now.
Lu Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "In business talk business, Mr. Wang doesn't need to say apology, it's just cooperation... It seems that there is no room for us to cooperate now."
"How come? As long as you want to cooperate, there is plenty of space."
Wang Tao laughed and said, "That's right. Teacher Lu's two new songs were released on Jingting, and they sold 200 million yuan in sales in three days. If they can be sold in KK at the same time, they will definitely sell even higher sales. Go against it."
"Yes, more will be sold."
Lu Xin nodded, waiting for him to continue.
Wang Tao paused, and then said: "I came here to represent KK that I want to invite Mr. Lu to put the song on KK's shelves.
Jingting should charge [-]% of the fee. To show sincerity, KK can waive the fee for one month. We can discuss later. "
It is actually quite embarrassing to try to suppress it and fail, but to seek cooperation with the other party and propose such favorable conditions.
But there is no way, a verbal apology is meaningless, if you want to get cooperation, you still have to look at the specific conditions.
But he was still thinking about what to say next, but Lu Xin said: "Mr. Wang, actually, when I was in Beijing, the vice president of TT approached me. Coincidentally, I was also Mr. Wang."
"What Mr. Wang means is that as long as my album is released on TT Music, I can receive 1000 million, and the platform fee is free."
Wang Tao was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly said: "Although TT Music claims to have a large number of users, Mr. Lu should know that their platform has no purchasing power and the payment rate is too low."
"Yes, but being on the shelves of TT is not exclusive, and I can also sell it on other platforms at the same time."
Lu Xin smiled, "I refused."
"What does Teacher Lu mean?"
Wang Tao is very concerned about TT music and Jingting, so he naturally knows that those two nursery rhymes did not appear on the TT platform.
"I mean I refuse to cooperate with TT who wants to be free, and I don't resist cooperation with KK platform. But..."
Lu Xin looked at Wang Tao, "I can be the master of my songs, but can the king of the KK platform be the master?"
Wang Tao smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, I need to discuss some things with shareholders, but KK is really sincere this time. Teacher Lu can ask for anything.
Of course, it may be difficult to sell an album to 1000 million, but the sales potential of KK is not comparable to that of TT platform. "
He relaxed a little, fearing that he would not even talk about it. Lu Xin said that he was obviously planning to make a request. As long as he made a request, there would be room for discussion.
