Chapter 99 Easy Negotiation

When the casual play band suddenly exploded, Haizhou Bilingual No. [-] Middle School didn't even react from top to bottom.

But it was naturally the band manager - Yu Hongwei who bore the brunt of the rush.

He did the job of connecting with the school, and he recruited people. During the rehearsal, he was busy arranging the venue, and occasionally helping to shoot some videos.Diligently and conscientiously manage various matters of the band.

As for the instigators Ning Qing and Liu Xiaohan, they showed up on time during band practice.One is responsible for the arrangement of the band, and prepares the musical scores used in advance for the musicians of the band to practice, while Ning Qing just needs to sing casually.

There is no song he can't master.

This is the advantage of only being original. As an "original creator", the songs Ning Qing chooses to compose are all within his vocal range.But even to the inside of the band, Ning Qing never said who the creators of these songs were.

If someone in the band asked him, Ning Qing would only say ambiguously: "We have to thank our band manager."

In this way, Yu Hongwei directly became the soul of the band in the eyes of many people...

Of course, the principal and the teachers are not so easy to be fooled. They know exactly what specialties the students have.

Because of this, in the eyes of the school, the tunes of these popular songs must have been composed by Liu Xiaohan, and the lyrics were probably written by Ning Qing.

After all, Liu Xiaohan is a well-known piano genius in the school. As for Ning Qing... Although the school is not very clear about the intelligent program, both Jinghan and Ziqing University are still hiding news, but some news cannot be bypassed.Because they also heard that Ning Qing worked out a "March Anthology" when he was in Peking-Han University, and it was highly valued.

Not to mention that the whole school knew that these two were in a relationship, and Ning Qing was said to be playing with Liu Xiaohan when he created this band.

But even if the school contacted Ning Qing, hoping that he could respond to the outside world and have an explanation for the copyright of the song, Ning Qing also pushed it all to Yu Hongwei.

"Principal Lu, you may not know the division of labor in our band. This kind of external affairs are all handled by Manager Yu."

"Ning Qing, you can really make a fuss. You can make such a big battle with a band. Tell me the truth, you are such a successful band, you don't really plan to make your debut, don't you go to school?"

"Haha, Principal Lu, you can really joke. If Xiaohan and I really wanted to debut as stars, we wouldn't push everything to our band manager, right?"

"That's good. You are a good seedling. You have a bright future in the future. Don't go astray when you are on the road."

"Don't worry, Principal Lu, I know exactly what I want. Forming a band is just for fun."

……

In this way, Yu Hongwei, who originally only wanted to paddle and play with Ning Qing before graduating from high school, was pushed into the position of the core member of the casual play band.

One can imagine how busy Yu Hongwei was during this time.

In fact, relatively speaking, those big things are easy to talk about, but after the band became famous, some talented students from other schools tried every means to sneak into the campus of Bilingual No. [-] Middle School, just to join the band and show off their ambitions.

So there is this scene at this time.

Fortunately, high school kids are still immature and easy to deal with.Yu Hongwei, who was used to people often recommending himself, dismissed the flute lover with a few casual words, and then hurriedly walked towards the school administration building.He has more important things to do today. He met with a supervisor named Guo of Hummingbird Music's copyright content service department to discuss copyright cooperation.

For a high school student, this should be considered a high-end business negotiation.

Fortunately, Yu Hongwei has gotten used to it.

The most rare moment has already been experienced. Not long ago, he had fought wits with the reporters arranged by the school, and he was regarded as someone who had seen big scenes.

And there are people behind him.

In Ning Qing's words, don't care how great the identities of the people who come here sound, they all have a head on their shoulders, and all the halos are brought to them by their own platform.What's more, these people are seeking to come, so the initiative is on their side.

As long as you have the initiative, no matter who comes to talk to you, you are born to be a dwarf.

This is the difference between wanting and wanting nothing.

Of course, with just a few words, it is actually difficult to completely relieve stress.

After all, Yu Hongwei is still thinking about what Ning Qing said before, he has invested 1000 million, and he has to earn it back when he is not playing in this broken band. This is his greatest pressure at present.

However, Ning Qing revealed to him a secret that can be called Wang Zha, which finally made the newly promoted band manager completely abandon psychological counseling.

"What a panic, do you know the real identity of my woman?"

"Ah? What other hidden attributes does my sister-in-law have?"

"Her father is Liu Zhixin, the chairman of Hanwei Group, the one who built the group into the world's top 1000 from scratch. My Xiaohan is her father's only daughter. The [-] million that I gave you was given by Xiaohan's father for us to play with." , do you still feel the pressure now?"

After hearing this, when he learned that the investor behind their small high school band was Hanwei Group, Yu Hongwei was not nervous.

Yes, it is said that Hummingbird Music is also backed by capital, but it is backed by Hanwei Group, so there is really nothing to be afraid of.This is probably the legendary background effect.

What are we afraid of when there are people behind us?

……

In the administrative building of Haizhou Bilingual No. [-] Middle School, Guo Qiming was chatting with Principal Lu proudly.

This time, it took him a lot of effort to find a relationship to be able to sit in the administrative building of this provincial first-level model high school, and he was received by the principal himself.

After all, the school has always been very resistant.

But these sacrifices are worth it.

With the current popularity of casual bands on the Internet, as long as Hummingbird Entertainment can successfully sign this student band, it will definitely bring a wave of great enthusiasm.

In this era when traffic is money, it is enough to ensure that Hummingbird Entertainment will have a fat year this year.

Guo Qiming didn't think about failure, because it was almost impossible.

Why does the school keep guarding against them?

Isn't it because they are afraid that once they make a move, this student band will naturally make their debut in place and affect their studies?

The entire Yonghan Republic knows how strong Hummingbird Entertainment's packaging star is.

Guo Qiming has even imagined the appearance of those young boys and girls cheering when he threw an olive branch.

But then again, in fact, Hummingbird Entertainment doesn't have much interest in this casual band itself.

For him, the most important thing in this trip is to find the lyrics and music of the three golden songs.

In other words, the only thing he wants to sign is the songwriter who is actually the songwriter of three popular songs on the Internet.

As for playing with a band casually, you can also sign it.

But you have to consider whether this band is worth the effort to package.

After all, from the company's professional point of view, the lead singer's singing skills are not outstanding, and the band's performance skills can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Of course, if the lead singer and other musicians have a good image and temperament, they can still develop in the direction of idol singers and idol bands.

But if the image and temperament are not good enough, even if the talented woman who wrote lyrics and composed music for the band must advance and retreat with the band out of loyalty, then sign the whole body first, and then keep the band in cold storage.

Anyway, these young people have little experience and don't know anything about the industry.

As for failure?

Guo Qiming never thought about it.

After all, it is the age of entertainment to death, how many young people don't want to be stars?
Not to mention students who don't want to be a star, how can they play in a band at this stage of high school?

Now the only thing that troubles Guo Qiming is the principal in front of him.

This kind of official old fox is the most difficult to deal with, and is currently the only stumbling block.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to use words to make the principal go first, so that he could talk to the so-called band manager alone.

Especially after learning that the band manager was also a sophomore in high school, this idea became even stronger.

The only thing bothering him now is probably that he hasn't found a suitable reason first.

Just when Guo Qiming was racking his brains to think about what to do, someone politely knocked on the door twice, and then walked in directly.

"Principal Lu, you said someone came to talk about the music copyright of the band?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Yu, this is Mr. Guo from Hummingbird Entertainment. He hopes to come to talk to you this time, whether he can cooperate with you and let your band's songs be launched on Hummingbird Music. In this way, you are here Let's talk slowly, I don't understand this aspect, so I won't accompany you."

"Okay, Principal Lu."

……

Principal Lu's statement surprised Guo Qiming at first, and then he was overjoyed.

What is wish come true, this is it.

He really didn't expect that the scene he was thinking about would be achieved without any effort.He didn't even say the request.

Principal Lu is really caring.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed what it should be.

After all, Casual Play Band is a student band, not an official one, and it really has nothing to do with the principal.

The other party really might as well sell their own favors.

This is probably a misunderstanding caused by poor information.

As the principal, Lu Datong has learned about Liu Xiaohan's identity and what Ning Qing did before through many channels.

He wasn't worried at all that Hummingbird Entertainment dared to cheat these two students.

Of course, if the other party is really so bold, someone will naturally teach the vice president in front of him to be a man, and it's not the school's turn to make a move.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Ning Qing is now regarded as a treasure by Jinghan University, if this guy complains in front of those old professors, saying that he has been treated unfairly, God knows those who don't pay attention to those peaches and plums in the entertainment industry at all What can the old professors do to protect the calf.

That is definitely a proper dimensionality reduction blow.

After all, many of their students are now not sure which key position they are in, and they happen to be able to manage a mess of Hummingbird Entertainment.

Of course, Lu Datong was too lazy to tell Guo Qiming these words.

The relationship between the two has not reached this level.

So Lu Datong went very simply, and managed to leave Yu Hongwei to Guo Qiming without delay.

……

"Mr. Guo, hello." Watching Principal Lu leave, Yu Hongwei greeted the middle-aged man opposite without being humble.

"Hi student Yu, in this way, you are still a high school student, and it's class time again, so let's get straight to the point." Guo Qiming said with a smile.

"It's okay, Mr. Guo, don't worry. I have been admitted by Jinghan University in advance. I basically don't have classes now. I am mainly in charge of the band at school, so you don't have to worry about my time. If you are in a hurry, I will I can cooperate with you."

"Oh... Peking-Han University." Guo Qiming was a little surprised. He already knew from President Lu that this band was created by a few sophomores, and that he would be sent directly to Jinghan University if he was a sophomore. Bully.

"A contestant?" Guo Qiming asked curiously.

"Well, we won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Contest in Modeling this year."

"Awesome." Guo Qiming gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Actually, it's not that I'm good. It's the lead singer of our band. He is the captain of our mathematical modeling competition. He did the main work of the competition. The arranger of our band is another member of this competition. They are a couple." Yu Hongwei replied with a smile.

Guo Qiming curled his lips subconsciously. He didn't know this news before, and it made today's matter start to become troublesome.

He also graduated from a prestigious school, so he naturally knows that most of the recommended students from prestigious schools are proud, which also cast a shadow over his original confidence.

"That's it, then you are really good...Well, did your principal mention some of our ideas to you when you came this time?"

"Uh... don't you hummingbirds want to buy the copyright of the three songs we have released?"

"I do have this idea. But have you ever thought about the possibility of further cooperation between us. For example, does your band have the idea of ​​being an idol of the younger generation in the future?"

Although feeling hopeless, Guo Qiming still bravely said this sentence.

As expected, Yu Hongwei gave Yu Hongwei a playful look.

Yes, this is the first time Guo Qiming felt that playfulness in the eyes of a high school kid, as if to say, are you kidding me?

"Mr. Guo, I respect you very much, but please respect us too. Are you telling us not to report at Peking-Han University and make our debut as idols?"

"No, no, many students can also be packaged as idols..."

"No, we're not interested in this, otherwise we wouldn't be called a casual band. Let's talk about the copyright of the three songs. We are willing to sell the copyright of the songs. Our tunes and lyrics have been registered separately Register, so I don’t know if Hummingbird Entertainment wants to buy the exclusive copyright directly in a package, or we only need our authorization to go online on Hummingbird Music’s platform?”

The band manager's tone of voice was so professional that Guo Qiming felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, Mr. Guo finally realized that today's conversation might not go as smoothly as he imagined.
