"The relationship is good. I happen to be in Yangcheng during this period. When will I go to visit him and buy some gifts as a way to thank him for helping me before? Brother Liu, does it not violate the company's regulations if I do this? "
Mu Zhidan clapped his hands together and thought of this "good idea", but then looked at his manager. After all, Jiang Kan was considered an "enemy". Would there be any harm in contacting him privately?
"Haha, silly boy, you had a pretty good collaboration with him before he became popular. This kind of fate is a good opportunity that many singers in the music industry can't envy!"
Liu Pingwei laughed and patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder, shaking his head and laughing.
The young man still doesn’t know how powerful the relationship is. Is this a request from you?
Not only will the company not blame you, but it will encourage you to have more contact with him!
If you can improve your relationship with him, and he writes a song specifically for you in the future, maybe it will become an instant hit like Wang Yuchang's "I Will Love You Even If You Die". lifetime!
That can really make a lot of money. Compared with this, people who come into contact with the "enemy platform" are nothing, and they are not real enemies!
…
"Commissioner Jiang, Guangguang has responded to us, saying that Mu Zhidan is willing to agree to our request, give up this song for you to sing by yourself, and asked me to convey their sincere greetings to you."
Early the next morning, the little girl Xiang Ping came to Jiang Kan's office with a list of documents, and handed him the authorization letter from the other party with surprise and surprise.
"Oh? The singer over there who was originally going to sing this song turned out to be Mu Zhidan?"
Jiang Kan took the order in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"What, Commissioner Jiang, do you know Mu Zhidan?"
Xiang Ping was also curious about Jiang Kan's reaction, why he seemed to be talking like an acquaintance.
"Ha, I've dealt with it once before. Have you heard of "You Get Me Drunk"? I wrote it and he sang it."
"Ah? He sang "You Get Me Drunk"? There were so many covers that I didn't even notice that the original singer was him!"
Xiaoxiang was also shocked. She usually prided herself on being the queen of gossip, but she blamed herself for not even knowing the news. It turned out that Uncle Kan's song was sung by Mu Zhidan!
No wonder he gave up so readily this time. The request he made in the morning was agreed to in the afternoon without any hesitation!
There is still such a connection in the relationship...
The little girl's knowledge of gossip has become a little more enriched, and she can't help but feel more fulfilled.
"Okay, I'll contact Fengming Entertainment and tell them that we've got it done!"
Xiang Pingzheng was about to leave the commissioner's office, but was stopped by Jiang Kan:
"Um...how much was the singing fee for the promotional song that Feng Ming gave Xiao Mu?"
"400,000! Then there is a 5% dividend after the song is released. After all, he is just an ordinary third-tier singer. It is just because he has become popular recently and is very popular among young people, so the price given is slightly higher than that of ordinary third-tier singers. .”
As expected of someone who was originally an assistant to the general manager, Xiang Ping was very familiar with the company's business and answered without any hesitation. ….
"By the way, since it's you who will perform the singing, will the price be a little lower? How about I go to Manager An and report to him to raise the price?"
Xiang Ping tilted her head and thought for a while, and suddenly a bright light bulb appeared in her mind!
"No, no, no, 400,000 is pretty good. Our request to change the singer this time is quite out of bounds. After all, we are Party A... If the cooperation is good this time, there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Jiang Kan shook his head to stop her idea. After all, she had already taken advantage this time. It would be hard to go to Longwangshu again. It would be quite unsightly to insist on refusing if she made someone unhappy.
"Okay, I'll go notify them!"
The little girl bowed politely to Jiang Kan and then exited the commissioner's office.
, and gently closed the door from the outside.
"call……"
"The 400,000 singing fee adds up to 1.2 million. I can divide it into 80%, which is 960,000?"
After taking a nice sip of the hot tea, Jiang Kan silently calculated the harvest in his mind.
"In addition to the singer's future download sharing, it's pretty good. This first order is finally off to a smooth start."
"But this is only the first order. Lao An will only give me 80% commission if he takes care of me... What happens after that? We have to increase the price of new orders as soon as possible!"
After finishing talking to himself, Jiang Kan took another pile of documents placed on the large desk.
The above are all orders that the company started some time ago, but have been delayed in completing due to manpower, capacity and other reasons.
They are all soundtracks, promotional songs, theme songs, etc. for local animation companies or game companies. The prices are very low, basically between 400,000 and 800,000.
"..."
Jiang Kan was speechless.
He couldn't take these orders by himself. After all, the customization fee for the system alone would cost 500,000. Based on the previous share ratio, he would have to lose hundreds of thousands for each song, which was completely unnecessary.
The only option is to have people from the company’s original composition department write it.
He picked up the list of personnel in the composition department of the branch provided by Xiang Ping.
"Well, after two rounds of major poaching and the usual job-hopping and turnover of scattered personnel, there are still seven employees in the composition department..."
He looked at the personnel list and introduction and said to himself.
"All of them are ordinary composers who have been in the industry for about three years, and two of them also serve as lyricists... Really, are there not even professional lyricists here? Is it possible that everything depends on these two and temporary Looking for someone to outsource?”
Jiang Kan rubbed his eyebrows, looking very bitter.
"I feel a little overwhelmed. If these guys could do a good job, they would have made these lists long ago and wouldn't have waited until I came..."
"No, we need to improve their musical literacy and composition ability! But I am a half-hearted composer myself, how can I improve their composition ability?"
"Ding!"
"In order to solve the current branch dilemma faced by the host, the system has released a new task: [Common Progress]!"
"Task content: In order to prevent the branch's performance from falling into a trough again when the host leaves in a year, the host should train capable composers to take over the leadership role as soon as possible. Please ask the host to recruit apprentices (at least two) among the branch employees within one year , up to four) and cultivate them to a level recognized by the system!”….
"Due to the inherent limitations of the human brain structure, this system will not directly provide basic or above-level music-related skills, which need to be mastered by the host itself. Therefore, the system will temporarily provide an efficient teaching prop "Advanced Composition Lecturer Card" for the host to perform quickly and efficiently. study. "
"This prop can also be used in the teaching process of the host's training objects, but it can only be used for seven hours a week, so the host please use it carefully!"
"Task reward: a senior composition instructor card (permanent version)!
And every time a disciple is trained who passes the system review, an additional random reward will be awarded to the host. "
"Oh I see!"
Jiang Kan made a fist with his right hand and hammered it into the palm of his left hand, feeling a sudden realization in his heart.
This is because the system has discovered its current predicament and is trying to help it solve the problem.
On the one hand, it helps you improve your musical quality and composition skills.
On the one hand, it is also to train a capable assistant for himself, to prevent him from falling back into the original predicament after leaving the branch.
"Okay, the system has taken great pains to increase my influence... I will accept this task!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden card with a poker face appeared in front of his eyes in the void.
"Wang Tiancheng, former dean of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, lifelong honorary dean, famous composer, pianist, educator..."
"Oh my God, the system can actually provide such a famous musician to teach me?"
Jiang Kan was shocked, this was a famous musician in China!
Even Jiang Kan, an ordinary person who had nothing to do with music in the past forty years, knows his name!
Now, at the age of eighty-five, this boss is still teaching in the college. He has one open class a week that ordinary students can attend, and one class specifically for top students!
He can be called the leading figure in the music industry in China, and I am lucky enough to be able to listen to his teachings for seven hours a week!
"System, you are so thoughtful!"
Jiang Kan silently gave the system a like.
…
Next, things went very smoothly for Xiang Ping. Since Guangming took the initiative to withdraw, it was very smooth for Fengming Entertainment to agree to Jiang Kan taking over the singing gig. After all, Jiang Kan's reputation has been so popular recently, so there is no need to Pity.
Manager An was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Jiang Kan had only been here for a few days, and he already got an order of 1.2 million for the company - although he proposed to give Jiang Kan 80% of the first order, But after all, the branch will still make money after completing this order.
And the reputation has been established all at once: Look, the head office has sent such a capable general to support us, now you can rest assured and leave the order to us, right?
Initially, out of surprise, Manager An almost slammed the table and announced that everyone would have dinner at Guangfu Restaurant tonight to celebrate, but he was immediately pulled back by the reality that he was still very poor and did not make such an impulsive decision.
'Well, but we still want to celebrate, Xiao Xiang? Oh, forget it, he is Commissioner Jiang's assistant now. It would be bad if he was away to find something to do with her...Xiao Li, come here~,...
"Go to Cha Yan Yuese down below and order a cup of milk tea for each employee of the company! You can count what they want to drink on RTX and then place an order together. Just say it's Commissioner Jiang's treat to celebrate our success in winning the first place in three months. An order!"
After careful consideration, Manager An decided to give this reputation to Jiang Kan. After all, if everyone likes him more, it will be more conducive to the development of his work!
Sure enough, when the milk tea was served by their clerk after a while, the huge office area was filled with cheers for Jiang Kan!
"Commissioner Jiang is really interesting. He won an order for the company right away and even invited us to drink milk tea. How polite!"
"It's not bad, it's the pretty milk tea that costs 15 yuan a cup! I only dare to drink the 5 yuan a cup from Tea Milk King. Commissioner Jiang is so generous!"
"You are worthy of being a genius who won the first place in "The Good Singer of Xia Country". You have won such a big order in just a few days, and you are treating guests so grandly. How proud!"
…
Jiang Kan himself also got a cup of Boba milk tea. He felt heavy and satisfied every time he held a large cup.
"Haha, Manager An is so, so polite..."
After taking a big sip of the pearl in his mouth, it was fragrant, glutinous, chewy, and full of milk. Jiang Kan smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
He was also very happy to see that everyone's morale had improved a bit. After all, how can one person row a boat as fast as everyone rowing together?
"By the way, Xiaoxiang, do the company provide any training courses for employees, especially those in the composition department?"
While drinking milk tea, Jiang Kan suddenly remembered his mission, so he said to Xiang Ping, who was also holding a cup of poplar nectar and drinking it happily.
"Training class? No, I have never heard of the company hiring any lecturers to provide training for employees. Is it possible that they are both at the headquarters and the Chengdu branch?"
Xiaoxiang asked curiously while chewing the pulp.
"We don't have one there, but we do have a headquarters. We often organize senior composers, or professors and lecturers from external universities that we cooperate with to come to the company for teaching and training..."
Jiang Kan only heard about it when he was at the Rongcheng branch, but later he asked Zhang Lingling and she said that it was indeed the case. The headquarters was originally located in
Magic City also has in-depth cooperation with the music conservatory there, so famous teachers often come to teach. The number of people signing up for each class will greatly exceed the designated number, and the event is unprecedented.
"Oh, that's great. We have never been valued by the headquarters. We don't have any benefits. It's like we have been forgotten by the headquarters. Alas..."
The little girl drank the drink happily while grumbling with a frown.
It's also strange how she expresses these two completely opposite emotions on one face at the same time.
After getting along with Jiang Kan in the past few days, she also saw that Jiang Kan had no official airs at all, but was like a kind uncle who was easy to get along with. Especially since she was a little girl, she gradually became more and more like him. There is no longer the feeling of restraint and awkwardness that he felt when he first met Jiang Kan.
"But now your chance has come."
Jiang Kan put down the milk tea cup, took out a tissue from the toilet paper box on the table and wiped his mouth, then threw it into the trash can next to him and said seriously. ….
"Oh? The head office is going to send professors to teach? Let me just say, these people in the composition department of our branch should have gone to further their studies long ago, but there are no ways and means..."
"Xiao Xiang, please stop for a moment and listen to me first!"
Jiang Kan stopped the little girl from continuing to show off. As their relationship improved over the past few days, he gradually discovered the little girl's chatty nature. If you don't stop her, she will keep gossiping with you.
"Okay, Commissioner Jiang, please tell me!"
Sure enough, Xiang Ping immediately put the drink in her hand on the glass coffee table next to her, sat upright, and waited for Jiang Kan's "instructions."
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Jiang Kan nodded and returned to his gentle smile.
"It's like this. In the past two days, I have learned about many specific situations in our branch, and I have also summarized some methods and ideas to deal with some specific problems."
"For example, I have looked at the qualifications of the staff in our composition department. Basically, they are all newcomers who have been in the industry for about three years. The largest order they have ever done is about 500,000, and the lowest is only a few hundred thousand, or even There are mosquito leg orders worth 70,000 to 80,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."
"I think that improving the foundation of our colleagues' musical literacy, especially the basic abilities of composition, lyrics and arrangement, is the top priority of our current work!"
"So, I plan to gradually select some employees with potential, ability and perseverance in the company to provide one-on-one individual teaching, so that they can gradually improve their creative skills so that they can become the mainstay of the branch's composition business."
"To put it simply, I plan to recruit a few apprentices and train them well, so that when I leave here after a year and go back, your business level will drop back to its original state."
"what do you think?"
As soon as Jiang Kan finished speaking, Xiang Ping jumped out like a rabbit!
In less than five minutes, Manager An, who was working in the general manager's office on the other corner of the floor, immediately followed her and ran back to Jiang Kan's office out of breath!
"Commissioner Jiang, you said that you would select a few employees from our composition department to be your disciples, and you would personally teach them how to compose music, lyrics and arrange music. Is that true?"
