Before rushing to meet Yang Du at noon, Ding Ning unexpectedly received a call from Chen Linsen.Chen Linsen said straight to the point that he was willing to invest in his studio and asked Ding Ning what he thought.It is a good thing in itself to be able to get Chen Linsen's favor, but the name of the son of the former richest man is really too big, and he feels that once Chen Linsen becomes a shareholder, the power of life and death in the studio will be difficult to autonomously, and Ding Ning was a little embarrassed for a while.Fortunately, Chen Linsen did not let him reply immediately, only said that he was willing to contact him at any time, and Ding Ning breathed a sigh of relief.Thinking about Chen Linsen's investment all the way, when he arrived at the Xiangjiang restaurant that he had made an appointment with Yang Du, Ding Ning met Yang Du very smoothly.Yang Du Zhenren is thinner than the photos searched on the Internet, and he is more mature, less high-spirited, more restrained and steady, and when he laughs, the folds at the corners of his eyes will outline an upward arc, giving people a sense of intimacy of the uncle next door.To Ding Ning's great surprise, Yang Du was obviously a figure known as a "ghost talent", Yang Du put his posture very low, and told him that he could have little or no equity in the company, as long as Ding Ning could get the capital that convinced him.There are many kinds of capital, and the most basic thing is money, but does Yang Du need money Ding Ning thought that Yang Du, who took the initiative to cooperate with him, didn't need it, after all, people who don't have money want to find someone to cooperate in starting a business, which can't be said.To his surprise, Yang Du actually said that he needed it.Yang Du clearly told him that he needed to get three million at one time, which was one of the prerequisites for him not to have any equity, and for the follow-up income, it was just according to the market situation that would not die of hunger.Like the world where Ding Ning lived before, the production of this world, compared with lyrics and music, has a lower status, and the income is worse than that of lyrics and songs.The main reason is that lyrics and songs can have a sales share, while production often does not.After all, the post-production work is usually carried out by the company's royal personnel, which belongs to one of the thorough behind-the-scenes teams, and no matter how much it is to survive, it is the middle-level employee level, which is a lot of distance from the real high-level.Moreover, the importance of the producer's function is reflected in the gradual enrichment of pop music elements, and the status has only been improved in recent years, and the treatment has not had time to keep up.Of course, a gold medal production like Yang Du, who has won the Golden Melody Award for Best Producer, will be treated more generously by the company, and three million is not a particularly large amount for him.But ten or eight years is a long time for a person's career, and he didn't think about cooperating with Yang Du for so long, Ding Ning was surprised that Yang Du would make such a request.Asking suspiciously, he realized that it was Yang Du's previous company, and there were still a lot of bad debts to be dealt with, and he needed the three million to clean up the mess.Three million is a huge amount of money for Ding Ning now, and he thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally accepted this condition.Because, Yang Du said that he is willing to cooperate with him for at least ten years, and all quantifiable factors such as the number of cooperative repertoire can be stipulated and bound by the contract.Buying out a gold medal production for ten years with three million, this transaction is not a loss, especially in recent years, the price of arrangers and productions has risen is a trend, according to expectations, he is actually quite profitable.What Ding Ning later learned was that when Yang Du first found him, he didn't plan to sell himself for three million.In fact, for Yang Du, who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years and is very well-known, three million is not a difficult number to get.Yang Du's initial idea was actually to raise funds through certain channels, and then co-founded a company with him or even as a sole proprietorship.This is the same as what Yang Du had in his head when he first found him.The reason why Yang Du later changed his mind was because he was making too fast progress.In Yang Du's own words, it is a thousand miles a day that makes people sigh, and he has no choice but to keep lowering his positioning.The "capital that convinces him" that Yang Du refers to is not only capital in capital.He also hopes that Ding Ning can come up with works that really convince him, and the criterion is that there is market value, or that he can win the trophy of the best production again.Because, in fact, giving up equity, means that he "deignats" from a partner to an employee.Since he is an employee, working for a large company such as Universal, which should not mind taking him in, is to a large extent safer than working for Ding Ning, a newcomer.This does not mean that he does not value Ding Ning, on the contrary, he agrees with Ding Ning's down-to-earth and imaginative lyrics and composition ability, and is also very optimistic about Ding Ning's potential for development in the entertainment industry.It's just that whether it's folk songs or rock 'n' roll, in the major domestic awards, it has basically disappeared, even if Ding Ning comes up with excellent folk or rock works, the hope of winning the cup is still very slim.And after suffering the heavy blow of entrepreneurial failure, he has a burning belief in his heart, that is, he must prove to everyone that he is still the Yang Du who has become popular with many stars, lifted the Golden Melody Award Best Producer Trophy, and can afford the name of "ghost talent".If Ding Ning couldn't come up with enough qualifications for him to prove his work, he wouldn't want to spend ten years with Ding Ning.He can continue to look for other newcomers, but he can just delay a little more time, but he can't, he can also join other record giants besides the stars.Although most of the wealthy families are full of talents, there is not much more than him, and there is no less than him, and he is an outsider with a fiasco experience, and he may not be able to get much good treatment, but there are options after all, and there are prospects, after all, he is confident in his own strength.Ding Ning listened to Yang Du's request and understood that this was a "job seeker" who thought he had the strength and high self-esteem, and was asking him for a price, which is the so-called good bird to perch on.It's just that this self-esteem is very high, which is relative to "job hunting", and if you put it from the perspective of starting a business together at the beginning, Yang Du is compromising.Moreover, they compromised very thoroughly, gave up their status as partners and became a wage earner.In Ding Ning's opinion, Yang Du has the capital to think very highly of himself, and it would be very good if he could make Yang Du his employee.A studio that doesn't have a single character yet, where to find a master like Yang Du who has won the Golden Melody Award for Best Producer, isn't this pie in the sky.Then, ignoring Yang Du's remarks that he was not in a hurry to let him take out the work, he asked the waiter in the restaurant for a pen and paper on the spot and wrote a song.This song won the 08 Golden Melody Award in one fell swoop, three awards for best lyrics, composition and song, and it is popular all over the country, from old to young, you can hum two sentences.Its name is blue and white porcelain
