Chapter 137 Singers
Zhang Fang, Lu Dayou...
These are the names of the two singers signed by Feixing Records on the contract. The contract is valid for up to ten years.
When Feixing Records signed the two of them, they each paid a signing fee of 5,000 yuan, and then promised to tailor at least one album for them.
Other than that, Feixing Records has no other obligations. The only obligations in the contract are various requirements and restrictions for Zhang Fang and Lu Dayou.
In addition, the contract stipulates a 28% share of all income earned from albums and commercial performances. Of course, the 80% share of the income will definitely not be shared by the two of them, but by Feixing Records.
It has only been three years since the two signed with Feixing Records.
Feixing Records had already given them a record album that was promised to be tailor-made for them. However, because the quality of the songs was not high, both of their albums were somewhat disappointing.
I haven’t gained any fame at all, so there is no way I can talk about commercial performances or anything like that.
On those two albums, Feixing Records didn’t make any money, but it also lost a lot of money.
With such a premise, the two of them were basically put in cold storage. It would be impossible for Feixing Records to customize an album for them again.
With that contract in place, it is impossible for Zhang Fang and Lu Dayou to sign with another record company during the remaining seven years of the contract. In fact, without notifying the company, they Singing in public places is not allowed.
A proper overlord clause, there is no other way, the world of capital is so cruel.
Of course, it is not impossible for them to terminate the contract with Feixing Records, provided that they have to pay two hundred thousand liquidated damages.
This liquidated damages figure is not set high. After all, both of them are complete newcomers, and they have not found a single song that can be sold.
Taking the two contracts, Jiang Yao turned over them over and over again. After looking at them for a while, there was already a knock on the door.
"Mr. Jiang, the Zhang Fang you want to see is already here!" The door was slowly pushed open, Wang Tengfei pointed at a young man following behind and introduced to Jiang Yao.
The young man was probably in his twenties and looked quite energetic. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a T-shirt with the words Li Ji Tea Restaurant and a phone number on it.
What is even more exaggerated is that he is also holding a plastic basket with takeaway boxes in his hand.
“The food delivery guy? Did I meet my colleague?”
"What did Lao Wang just say? Is this our Feixing Records signed singer Zhang Fang?" Looking at the young man behind Wang Tengfei, Jiang Yao looked confused and was stunned for a while.
After taking a closer look at the young man and feeling that he was indeed very similar to the face of Zhang Fang on the contract, he had a strange look on his face before he reacted.
After bringing Zhang Fang into this office, Wang Tengfei was very sensible and had already left first.
"Are you the new boss of Feixing Records?"
Without Wang Tengfei by his side, Zhang Fang seemed to relax a lot as he looked at the somewhat reserved Zhang Fang. He looked Jiang Yao up and down. Then he said: "Boss, can you not threaten me with the contract?"
"I'm busy delivering food. Mr. Wang calls me. It's not okay if I don't come."
"With this delay, if the customers complain about me in a hurry, the boss will definitely deduct my money. I'm Another day’s work was in vain.”
“Don’t worry, if I deliver food for another year, I will definitely be able to raise the money to terminate the contract. You guys, Feixing Records, can’t continue to haunt me, okay? "
......
This Zhang Fang seems to have a lot of resentment towards Feixing Records.
Perhaps he felt that Jiang Yao was relatively young and did not dare to say things in front of Wang Tengfei, but he had no scruples in front of Jiang Yao and said it frankly.
It is true that the labor force here in Xiangjiang is very high, but the consumption is also ridiculously high. For a young man like Zhang Fang, the termination fee of 200,000 yuan is really not something that can be paid in a short time. It can be scraped together.
If he could come up with this money, he might have terminated his contract with Feixing Records long ago, and he would definitely not wait until now.
"Zhang Fang, right? Let's talk about the termination of the contract later."
"I just took over Feixing Records, and I have nothing to do here."
"If signed singers like you really have potential, the company will definitely not bury the talent."
"I invite you here for no other reason than to hear you sing a few songs."
“If your singing can impress me, I will use all the resources of Feixing Records to support you. As long as you are strong enough, it is not impossible to become famous in Hong Kong in the future!”
After looking at Zhang Fang up and down and feeling that his image was barely acceptable, Jiang Yao smiled at him and promised.
His words were not trying to make a big deal for Zhang Fang, but he really meant it.
After all, he holds Feixing Records but is severely short of money. Naturally, he hopes that this company can bring out several well-known singers as soon as possible and truly get on the right track and earn enough money for himself.
But now, they have two singers, Zhang Fang and Lu Dayou, under the name of Feixing Records. As long as their performance is not too bad, Jiang Yao will definitely cheat and release two golden songs and hand them over to make an album. Listed for sale.
"Boss, are you serious? Are you really willing to support me and release an album for me?" Suspicious, Zhang Fang looked directly at Jiang Yao and confirmed.
“I, Mr. Jiang, always stick to my word when I speak.”
“But before that, you must show your worth and prove your strength in front of me. You What do you think?" Jiang Yao nodded with a smile and continued.
He is still very optimistic about Zhang Fang in front of him.
Perhaps because this person was a food delivery guy, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a bit of intimacy when he saw him.
After getting a positive answer from him, Zhang Fang immediately put down the basket in his hand. He closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his emotions, and then started singing.
The song he sang was a Xiangjiang dialect song called "The Red Dust Knows My Heart". Jiang Yao had never heard it before, and he didn't know how Zhang Fang's singing compared with the original version.
This song doesn't have any high-pitched parts, it has always been relatively low-pitched.
How about the song, let’s not talk about it for the moment. Zhang Fang’s singing was full of emotion and sound, and he seemed to be very involved.
“Regardless of the sound quality and singing skills, this song is indeed very good.”
“But this guy always likes to hold an orchid finger and wave it up and down when he sings.”
"What is he doing? Is it because he is too devoted to it?"
Cheer listened to Zhang Fang's singing for a while. Jiang Yao opened his eyes and observed carefully for a while. He frowned slightly and sighed.
If it were just one song, it could be said to be accidental, but Zhang Fang sang several songs in a row, and every time he pinched his orchid fingers while singing, this is not accidental but Get used to it.
Perhaps, in the Sixteenth District Amateur Singing Contest, he only achieved a score of ten or so, which has something to do with this habit of his.
"Boss, how was your singing? Can the company release a new album for me?" After singing the last English song, Zhang Fang finally stopped.
He looked at Jiang Yao expectantly, and asked weakly.
"It's okay! Don't worry about the new album. You go back and wait for the news. I'll let you know after a while!" After thinking for a while, Jiang Yao nodded and responded.
"Okay, I'll go back then. There are still several takeaways waiting for me to deliver!" A trace of obvious disappointment flashed across his face. Zhang Fang sighed. He picked up the takeout basket, turned around and walked out of the office. go.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yao smiled and didn't do much to persuade him or say anything more.
In fact, when he saw that Zhang Fang always pinched his orchid fingers when singing, he had already thought about what kind of song to help this guy choose.
Humming songs by yourself and letting others help compose the songs is a bit too low for Jiang Yao, who has been promoted to the boss of a record company.
According to his plan, he planned to learn the staff by himself, and then memorize it carefully. After finishing the lyrics and music, he would let the company discuss the new album with Zhang Fang.
He doesn't tell Zhang Fang this now because he also wants to polish this guy so that he won't be too arrogant after he becomes famous.
"Mr. Jiang!" Zhang Fang had just left for a while when Wang Tengfei walked into the office.
To be honest, this place was originally his office, and Jiang Yao only borrowed it temporarily.
Their office of Feixing Records is just such a small space. Jiang Yao never thought about working here all the time. He was already very short of money, so naturally he never thought about doing it for himself alone. An office comes out.
"What's going on with Lu Dayou? Hasn't he come here yet?" After signaling Wang Tengfei to sit down, he frowned and asked.
“I called Lu Dayou before, but he was very disrespectful and said he would come to the company tomorrow to terminate the contract.”
“I was going to talk to him a few more words, but He hung up the phone without saying a word."
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Tengfei sighed and continued to sigh: "That kid was so controlled by me before, but now, He has a backer, and he is not willing to give me any face."
Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, and he asked with a little curiosity: "Three years ago, he was willing to be with us. For the company to sign such a contract, this person should have no background or background.”
"There are contract restrictions. He has released one album but the sales were not good. Other record companies should look down on him."
"Who is willing to support Lu Dayou? Where did he find him? Backer? "
When Jiang Yao asked about this, Wang Tengfei looked strange, shrugged and replied: "That kid's teeth are not very good, so he can't eat hard things."
“Although he is very ordinary in terms of appearance, his ability to pick up girls is not bad.”
“Not long ago, there were gossip news reports that he was dating a well-known man who was much older than him. The actresses are in pairs and are already living together. ”
"That actress has a lot of connections in the entertainment industry. With her as her backer, how can Lu Dayou like a small company like our Feixing Records?"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Yao suddenly realized.
"Everyone has his own ambitions, and some things can't be done without force. Since Lu Dayou wants to terminate the contract with our Feixing Records, let him go."
"Of course, the liquidated damages are twenty Ten thousand, not a penny less, everyone is like this, this is what I said."
"In addition, Lao Wang, you must also pay attention to the matter of discovering new singers, otherwise, just rely on Zhang. Fang alone, no matter how popular he is, cannot support our entire Feixing Records! "
He stood up and walked to Wang Tengfei. Jiang Yao patted him on the shoulder. After sighing with emotion, he walked slowly outside the office.
