Chapter 225 New environment, new circle
No matter which industry you are in, integrity is very important. There are always some people who don't understand and will deceive and trick people just to get a few dates. Once you get this kind of reputation, hahaha, you will never be able to wash it off.
When hiring someone to write a song, there is generally no fixed price. When hiring a big celebrity to write a song, you usually have to negotiate the price first. After the other party writes the song, you pay if you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you can sell it to someone else.
There are many ways to buy songs, including buying them outright, paying a single performance fee, or purchasing singing rights (a proportion of the original song will be allocated to each commercial performance).
However, this time Gao Xiaosong asked Sun Tao to write a song without negotiating the price in advance. There was no time, and Sun Tao had already written "Human World". Gao Xiaosong also asked the price in private.
In 2023, it was reported online that the copyright for "Human World" was 2 million, but Sun Tao didn't know what the market was now, so he felt relieved and said, "You can give it to me!"
Gao Xiaosong was anxious at the time and didn't care, but later he thought about it and said, "I'll give it to you." Damn it, if the grandson wanted one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, it would be better to bargain.
It seems to be the most difficult thing to do. Maybe the reputation of being a souchou will hit you on the head.
Even ten or eight years later:
[Reveal: How did Gao*Song trick Sun Tao back then? 】
[Shocking news: The inside story of "Human World" being deceived by Gao Song. 】
[Insiders say: Gao* Songkeng has a tradition for newcomers to the industry. He even tricked Sun Tao back then, let alone others! 】
……
It’s scary to think about it!
Fortunately, Sun Tao brought Li Xiaojun, and Gao Xiaosong felt relieved when he saw Sun Tao bringing people.
Agent to agent, professional things are left to professionals, and those who are engaged in art can just engage in art professionally.
Although Sun Tao introduced Li Xiaojun as the general manager of his company, everyone understood that this woman was in charge of business matters.
Li Jie did not participate in the banquet because his level was not high enough.
After introducing Sun Tao and Li Xiaojun to the wine table, Li Jie sent Gao Xiaosong a text message at the door.
[The copyright is not sold, only the performance rights are sold. The requirements from Brother Nan should be the same. I will tell Brother Nan’s manager Sister Li later. 】
Gao Xiaosong glanced at the text message, smiled slightly, and did not reply.
This is the meaning of long-term cooperation, because you give him a share of every business performance. It may seem troublesome, but the relationship between the two parties will continue.
Although a one-time buyout is refreshing, it lacks the communication opportunity to send money to the other party every time in the future...

Huadiao ice-drunk shrimps, egg yolk prawns with eggplant boxes, honeycomb milk oysters, fermented bean curd foie gras, shepherd's purse bacon radish cake, crispy lobster, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, Buddha jumping over the wall, yam ai wowo, nine-turn large intestine...
The wine was red wine, and Sun Tao didn't know the brand. He only knew a Lafite from 1982, but the name the waiter said was obviously not Lafite and he didn't mention 1982. The name of the red wine seemed to be something like Conti.
Sun Tao smiled and said nothing: "I'm sorry, such a good dish is not worthy of Lafite." Pooh! 】
Among all the dishes, I have really eaten the Nine-turn Large Intestine, Braised Sea Cucumber with Green Onion and Buddha Jumping over the Wall. Sun Tao has only seen it on Douyin, and this is the first time to eat it.
Sun Tao was originally worried.
I'm worried that I won't be able to eat or drink on this occasion.
It turned out that he was overthinking, and all the dishes were made in small sizes. Even Buddha Jumping over the Wall was made very delicately one cup at a time.
The fermented bean curd and foie gras is about the size of a small steamed bun. You can chew it in your mouth without interrupting the conversation.
In the wine bureau, Sun Tao didn't care. They were talking about business. Whether they knew each other or not, they all said "I have admired him for a long time."
A banquet was held from six-thirty to nine o'clock, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Song Keke felt that it was almost done, "Mr. Sun just arrived today, and it was a long journey. How about we get here first?"
Sun Tao stood up and toasted Song Keke with a glass of wine, "Mr. Song is right, the days ahead are long, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and opportunities for gatherings are indispensable. Thank you for your hospitality today, let me toast you with a glass of wine."
……
[Look, look, it’s coming out, it’s coming out...]
[Kakaka...kakaka...] The flashlights outside the club flashed wildly, and the person being photographed didn't care about the paparazzi and was even more careless. "Old Wolf, look here, look here."
"Miss Ye, Miss Ye..."
[Keep an eye on the important point, today’s guests of honor, Sun Tao and Sun Nan, haven’t come out yet. 】
[There, there, Sun Nan’s manager Sister Li and a woman...]
[This woman just came with Sun Tao, she is probably Sun Tao's manager. By the way, Chen Qianqian didn’t come out either. 】
After another five minutes, Sun Tao, Sun Nan, Gao Xiaosong, Chen Qianqian, and Song Keke came out.
[Did the scene of Chen Qianqian shaking hands with Sun Tao be captured? 】
[It was filmed, please don't look down on people, okay? I could have written more than a dozen drafts just for the moment when Chen Qianqian bowed and shook hands with Sun Tao, from the front to the side, and to the erotic...]
[It seems that the person who talks to Sun Tao the most is Sun Nan? Let's go back and write a report that Sun Tao wants to tailor a song for Sun Nan. Isn't it too much? 】
[Haha, I can only say that it is quite satisfactory. Both of them have the surname Sun, and they are both from the Northeast. If you hint vaguely that the two are brothers who have not been born in Wufu, you will definitely be loved by many readers. If you pass it around, maybe everyone will still like it. Just believe it. 】
——
At ten o'clock that night, Feitian Building near Panjiayuan.
Originally, Maitian had said that they would help Sun Tao book two rooms at the Hilton.
Sun Tao refused.
If someone comes to pick you up at the airport, helps you contact the people you want to visit, and even invites you to dinner, this is considered to be a complete act of benevolence and taking advantage will be looked down upon.
Although Chen Qianqian's "Human World" by Sun Tao became popular and Maitian Audio and Video received great reviews, business is business after all, and people who buy your songs have to pay for it.
Li Jie also helped contact Feitian Hotel, which has two double-bed rooms.
Li Jie left.
Li Xiaojun immediately went to the front desk and checked out a room.
Li Xiaojun came back with the room card, "660, so expensive! Let's go up and chat at 10208."
In just three days, Li Xiaojun only had a satchel, while Sun Tao brought a trolley case (full of women's products).
……
Swipe your card to enter the house.
The house in 660 is not much better than the room in Jichun 300 or 400. There is also a bathroom and shower when you enter the house. There is a big bed in the room.
"How did you discuss it with Sun Nan's agent...um..."
After closing the door, Li Xiaojun took off his white down jacket. Inside was the milky white suit he had just worn for dinner. After taking off the suit, he found a set of black lace underwear...black stockings with white and red-soled high heels.
Li Xiaojun knew his preference for Sun Tao very well.
Looking at Li Xiaojun's tender eyes, Sun Tao suddenly felt that the sea cucumber tonight was not in vain. He was now terribly strong.
……
"How did you negotiate with Sun Nan's agent?"
It was already after twelve o'clock when Sun Tao had time to ask this question again.
Li Xiaojun lay weakly on the bed, "Let's talk tomorrow morning, I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
Sun Tao was stunned, "You still want to sleep! Oh, go to sleep, go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow..."
