Lin Ping hailed a taxi and went back to his rented apartment. He picked up the music score he had written down and walked to the Tang headquarters. At the entrance of the Tang headquarters, Sister K had already arranged for a company employee to wait for Lin Ping.
When Lin Ping arrived at the living room, he saw Sister K chatting happily with a middle-aged man in a suit. When she saw Lin Ping enter, Sister K stood up and said with a smile,"Lin Ping, let me introduce you. This is Hai Die Records, the president of Tianchao District, President Bi Xiaoshi. President Bi, this is the artist I recommended to you from our company, Lin Ping!”
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
The two of them shook hands and sat down. Bi Xiaoshi sat up straight and said,""I've known President Cai for a long time. I trust her taste. Since she said that your voice is very pleasant, I think there's definitely no problem. However, President Cai said that you can compose your own works.”
"Yes, here!" Lin Ping took out the stack of music scores and handed it to Bi Xiaoshi. Bi Xiaoshi took the score and read it. Although Bi Xiaoshi was the CEO of Sea Disc Records, it would be a big mistake to think that he was just a businessman. Bi Xiaoshi was one of the few musicians who had successfully crossed the line between orthodox and pop music, fully grasped modern technology, and had a worldview. Bi Xiaoshi graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's composition and conducting department. In 1977, he formed the first pop band in China since the reform and opening up, the Violet Light Music Band. Since 1982, in addition to being the conductor, composer, and record producer of the symphony orchestra, Bi Xiaoshi had also composed a large number of songs for singers from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Among them were "Blue Night, Blue Dream" Mao Ning,"I Tell You Gently" Yang Yuying,"Unfamiliar Emotions" Su Rui,"Mountain Gully" Na Ying,"Embrace Tomorrow" Lin Ping,"After I Loved You" Ye Qianwen/Zhou Runfa, etc. At the same time, he also composed a lot of advertising music, including: Hong Kong Eagle Ginseng Series, Sanjiu Weitai Series, New Round Pearl, Wanbao Electric, and so on. He is currently in charge of the development and training of musicians and performing arts talents in China.
He had a very high level of musical attainment. If it was an ordinary boss, he would definitely teach these music scores to the music producer to judge, and he could judge the quality of the music himself.
He took the music score from Lin Ping and started reading it as if no one else was around. The more he read, the more surprised he became. Any one of these songs could be said to be excellent. No matter which one it was, it could be the title song of a special album and make it sold well. However, such a standard song was actually written by this thin youth in front of him. It was really a talent in the world. The appearance of Jay Chou last year had made his eyes light up. It was an alternative music style, but now... If these songs were really written by Lin Ping, then his spirit and talent were even above that of Jay Chou.
Although he knew that Cai Yinong would not lie to him, Bi Xiaoshi still wanted to confirm it. He asked,""You wrote all of this!"
Lin Ping nodded. His skin was also very thick, and he was completely calm. He said,"Please advise me, CEO!"
"I dare not! It was really like the new waves pushing on the old! The younger generation is formidable!" Bi Xiaoshi sighed.
Cai Yinong knew that Lin Ping's songs must be very good. Otherwise, Bi Xiaoshi, who had always been mature and prudent, would not have said such words. He quickly said,""President Bi, what are you talking about? Lin Ping is just a newbie who doesn't know anything. He needs your advice!”
Bi Xiaoshi waved his hand and said,"I can't say that I'm giving you advice. It's just that I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so I still have some experience!"”
After the small talk, they confirmed Lin Ping's 'creative' level. Next, they were going to talk about the serious matter, which was Lin Ping's record contract with Hai Die. Similar to Tang Dynasty's conditions, Hai Die's record would last for about five years. In these five years, Hai Die guaranteed to release at least five albums for Lin Ping. The dividends for the album would be 28%, the signing fee would be 200,000 yuan, and the penalty for breaching the contract would be ten times. During this process, Lin Ping had to fully cooperate with the promotion of the album.
Lin Ping left the negotiation of the contract to Cai Yinong. After all, she was a professional. However, Lin Ping insisted that it was impossible to sign a five-year contract. When he signed the contract with the Tang, it was only for two years.
The two of them spent the next three hours negotiating repeatedly until they reached an agreement on each of the terms. In the end, they got Hai Die's record for about two years. In these two years, Hai Die promised to release at least two albums for Lin Ping. The dividends for the album would be 30 - 70%, the signing fee would be 150,000 yuan, and the penalty for breaching the contract would be seven times. During this process, Lin Ping had to fully cooperate with the promotion of the album.
The two of them reached a consensus that they had to release the album as soon as possible. Moreover, Lin Ping had to attend classes at the Shanghai Drama Academy, so it was best to record the album before class. Hai Dish's headquarters in the mainland was in Beijing, so Lin Ping was about to leave for Beijing. This time, Sister K would not be going with him. After all, she was still the producer of the TV series. She could not really abandon the entire TV series and be in charge of Lin Ping. Moreover, the most important part had already been discussed with Bi Xiaoshi. Lin Ping only needed to follow the path that he had already planned out step by step.
She didn't expect to fly to Beijing after just a few days in Shanghai. It was really a life where her feet didn't touch the ground. Was this the life that an artiste should face? Flying from one place to another and not staying in one place for long seemed to have become fate. It was impossible for Lin Ping to persist in this kind of life for more than 30 years. Fortunately, he only promised to stay for ten years. Otherwise, he would really become a flying man.
After discussing with Bi Xiaoshi and witnessing the signing of the contract, he left. However, before he left, he arranged for an assistant to take care of Lin Ping's daily life from now on. Usually, artistes would be so busy that they would forget about time. Under such circumstances, they would need an assistant to take care of their daily life, as well as planning and announcing. It could be said that being an assistant might not be much easier than being an artiste. It was just as difficult.
Cai Yinong had arranged for Lin Ping to be an assistant. She was a pretty girl in her twenties. Her name was Fang Qing. It would be nice to have such an assistant. However, the problem was that the girl's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Ping. It was as if she was looking at a huge doll. Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat. Did she think of him as a doll or a boy? It seemed that he was quite a distance away from being a boy!
