They have communicated privately about the second season of "Three Meals a Day". Although the contract negotiations have not started yet, it is basically settled.
However, seeing Wang Huaizhong take out the camera, Li Yi immediately shook his head and waved his hands very firmly: "No, no, no."
Zhang Lei and Lin Dan are both like this, looking like we won't be fooled again.
"Before I became famous, I faced the earth with my back to the sky. After I became famous, I still faced the earth with my back to the sky. Then I am not famous in vain?"
Li Yi spread his hands: "It doesn't make sense."
Seeing Li Yi say such words with such a serious expression, the other three people couldn't hold back their laughter.
Yi Ge'er is Yi Ge'er, still the same flavor.
"Ahem, listen to me!"
Wang Huaizhong cleared his throat, sat upright, and then took out a plastic-sealed photo album from his backpack: "Look, this is the location of Three Meals 2. This small village is located in Qiong Province. Didn't you guys do it before? Say, if there is a second season, would you like to go to the Maldives? It’s better here, everything is natural, facing the sea, and the flowers are blooming in spring!”
Zhang Lei glanced at Wang Huaizhong suspiciously, took the album and handed it to Lin Dan who was sitting in the middle. Li Yi also came over and started flipping through the album.
Not to mention, the scenery is really good.
Azure blue sea, white and soft sandy beach.
This season's mushroom house located on the beach looks much better than the first season. The surface decoration style is still antique, but it doesn't look so shabby.
Zhang Lei and Lin Dan were about to agree, when they heard Li Yi sincerely praising: "Let me tell you, our post-retouching and filtering are quite good."
Li Yi didn't say that Zhang Lei and Lin Dan had forgotten that the scenery in Baisha Village was pretty good with the naked eye, but compared to the one on TV, it was still a little less interesting.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Wang Huaizhong looked nervous and quickly stopped him: "Why did you even reveal the inside story of the show?"
After a flurry of talk, Li Yi finally reluctantly agreed. When it came to the negotiation stage, he put on airs and said with his head held high: "I'm not trying to be a big name, but as you know, I'm very popular now and have a lot of work. There are also many fans who don’t want me to appear on variety shows.”
"My fans are my parents and benefactors. How can I not listen to what they say?"
Li Yi looked at Wang Huaizhong with a smile, stretched out his fingers and rubbed them: "I have to pay more!"
Having said that, the next step was a serious conversation. Wang Huaizhong turned off the camera and gave Li Yi a thumbs up: "Okay, Xiao Yi, after being elegant for so long, I still haven't forgotten how to do variety shows!"
This is a joke, but compared to variety shows, movies, music, and sketches can indeed be called "elegant".
Variety artists like Wang Huaizhong often laugh at themselves like this when chatting in the industry.
Follow Heizi's path and leave Heizi with nowhere to go.
"Xiao Yi, your current salary is a bit high."
Wang Huaizhong became serious: "The three of us discussed it and decided not to pay you this time, but to give you 20% of the program's profit."
Lin Dan and Zhang Lei had investment shares in "Three Meals a Day" from the beginning.
Needless to say, Li Yi's importance to "Three Meals a Day" is that this variety show can be so well-received and the audience will never forget it. He has a great contribution to the overall work in the show.
If the salary was too high, it was inappropriate and illegal. If the salary was too low, it would be an attempt to kill people. Finally, we came up with a plan like this.
Although, with Li Yi's current popularity, the price premium is not excessive, but to be honest, 20% is very, very high.
They wanted to continue working together, and they didn't want to end up in a bad situation because of money.
"I'll go, so many?"
Hearing this number, even Li Yi was a little surprised. He looked at the three of them with surprise: "I always feel that you have some bad plan!"
Nowadays, variety shows are very profitable, especially variety shows of the level of "Three Meals a Day".
Although the advertising placement of the three meals is not much, the advertising fee in the first quarter is nearly 100 million, not including the copyright income from the sale to the video platform.
With the success of the first season, Wang Huaizhong's production company also produced "Extreme FHM" and "The Voice of China" in collaboration with Fanxing. These are all bargaining chips that can increase the price of the second season.
Although Li Yi is difficult to recruit, compared to other top celebrities, his endorsement and appearance fees are higher. In fact, his salary is not high because he fully complies with the salary limit order——
The artist's salary shall not exceed 40% of the total investment, and the maximum salary of the main artist shall not exceed 70% of the artist's total salary.
If calculated based on last season's investment, Li Yi's salary ratio would be around 15 million. This 20% of the show's profit would definitely be more than 15 million. It should be doubled. no problem.
As for accounting and so on, in the end the profit will be zero, this is impossible.
Not to mention their relationship, Fanxing will also collaborate with Zhongyi on the second season of The Voice.
Having said that, what Li Yi said just now was purely for the effect of the show. He never thought of opening his mouth to Wang Huaizhong.
Seeing Li Yi hesitate, Lin Dan knew that he didn't think it was too little, but really thought it was too much. He said with a smile: "Except for us, no one else can invite you to the variety show now! This number is quite appropriate."
Zhang Lei said with a hint of yin and yang, "He is a big star after all!"
"Okay, I'm fine."
Li Yi no longer pretended, but looked at Wang Huaizhong with some worry, and sighed: "I sold myself to you again!"
He could all imagine the scene that might occur during the recording of the program: Wang Huaizhong smiled crookedly and photographed the contract in front of them.
Wang Huaizhong immediately smiled: "Okay, we'll talk about the contract later. Come, let's drink!"
"Ah? Don't you want to continue talking about the show? Since we are at the beach this time, will you still farm?"
"Those are not important, come on, drink!"
Li Yi raised his wine glass helplessly, and after a brief taste, he listened to the three drunkards bragging.
March 25th.
Lin Shiyin's first album master tape recording was completed, and Li Yi came to Stone Music Studio to accept the results.
Next to her, Lin Shiyin looked at Li Yi nervously and expectantly. She wanted to be praised by Brother Yi, but she was afraid that what she would hear was criticism.
There are ten songs in total, plus two MVs. It took almost an hour, and Li Yi finally listened to them all.
Taking off his headphones, Li Yi frowned and immediately looked at Pang Ru, the manager next to Lin Shiyin: "Shiyin skipped class?"
The MV is a bit casual, but the songs are definitely fine, and the quality of the album is very good.
However, Lin Shiyin officially started recording songs in the studio on February 25th. In other words, in just one month, she finished recording ten songs and even shot two MVs.
It is normal for Li Yi to have this suspicion.
Manager Pang Ru patted her chest and said: "No, absolutely not, but Shiyin will come here as long as she has no classes. No matter it is day or night, I can guarantee and confirm that Shiyin uses her spare time to complete these things. "
Pang Ru is the company's new agent, responsible for Lin Shiyin and Xu Junjie.
Pang Ru also has two or three years of working experience in the industry. She was introduced by Lin Dan and has a good reputation. Li Yi believes in her. Moreover, if she skipped classes, Ye Yaodong had already told him about it.
It can only be said that Lin Shiyin really wants to be a star and wants to be a star. She works so hard.
However, recording so many songs in such a short period of time, including the post-production period, is obviously not something that can be achieved simply through hard work. Lin Shiyin was really born to be a singer.
Li Yi looked at Lin Shiyin and realized that her round face with a bit of baby fat seemed to have lost a little weight.
Lin Shiyin pouted, like a goldfish, expressing her dissatisfaction with Li Yi's distrust——
Although she really didn't want to go to school, she listened to Yi Ge'er's words.
Li Yi suddenly thought of a funny thing: "Shiyin, how about I give you a stage name?"
Lin Shiyin immediately lost her negative emotions and said happily: "Okay, okay, what's your name?"
"Time management master!"
Lin Shiyin was silent.
"What about the goldfish?"
As a fan girl, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but roll her eyes: "No, it's too unpleasant."
Pang Ru took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Brother Yi, the album title hasn't been chosen yet."
Li Yi is so popular that any name he chooses for his album can be used to promote it.
"18 years old?"
Li Yi thought about it for a moment, then shook his head again and again, sounding a little astringent, and finally said: "How about the coming-of-age ceremony?"
The name is quite conventional, but it suits Lin Shiyin and the style of this album quite well.
Lin Shiyin liked this very much and even made a compilation: "Thank you Brother Yi for giving me a coming-of-age gift!"
Li Yi smiled: "This is your coming of age gift to yourself."
Lin Shiyin was not satisfied, but still looked at him with shining eyes.
"Then your album will be released on April 1st, leaving a few days for promotion."
Li Yi shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Pang Ru: "Take her to take photos for magazines and other things these days. If you have more time, I will give her an exclusive interview."
Lin Shiyin nodded with satisfaction, and then hurriedly left after not staying long. She had classes in the afternoon.
Li Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Speaking of which, having such hard-working employees must be a blessing for him as a boss.
Li Yi did not leave in a hurry. He walked towards Ye Yaodong who was busy at the workbench and asked, "How is Junjie's progress?"
"About one-third. Don't rush the progress. Anyway, we have to wait for Shiyin's album to become popular before releasing it."
Ye Yaodong stopped what he was doing and said with some humor: "I feel that Stone is now like a place of great influence, and countless pairs of eyes in the Chinese music world are staring at us. Recently, people have been asking me about Lin Shiyin. and Xu Junjie’s album.”
Li Yi said nonchalantly: "It's probably going to be quite lively in April."
Those who really make music or are big-name singers will not find two newcomers to compete with each other.
Singers who can choose Lin Shiyin and Xu Junjie to compete with each other, to put it bluntly, are really rotten fish.
He wasn't worried at all.
After Lin Shiyin's first album was announced to be released on April 1st, several singers also started promoting their new albums.
The marketing account immediately set the pace.
"Fan Qiqi formally declares war on Lin Shiyin"
"On the story that has to be told between Fan Qiqi and Lin Shiyin"
"Fan Qiqi or Lin Shiyin, who is the little queen?"
Among the singers who released albums at the same time, Fan Qiqi is the most popular, and the little diva’s name is also the most talked about, so her name has been mentioned many times by marketing accounts.
People who eat melon came immediately after smelling the smell, and watched with amusement as fans fought each other in the comment area of the marketing account.
"How did Lin Shiyin get the title of Little Queen of Porcelain? Has she ever released a song? Has she ever won an award?"
"Where does Fan Qiqi's face come from? With a few traffic awards, fans will brag about it every day, and they won't be ashamed!"
"Newcomers should keep a low profile and don't do this and that every day just for the sake of popularity."
"Laughing, isn't Fan Qiqi here to meet Ci Lin Shiyin? Why not announce the release time of the album in advance?"
"It was originally planned to be released in April, but Lin Shiyin announced it earlier."
"Lin Shiyin's marketing is amazing, and there's nothing wrong with being called a little marketing queen!"
"Okay, let Fan Qiqi's fans take note. It's clear who is cheating, and it's clear who likes marketing the most."
"The one you love is here, Heizi, let's talk!!"
If you put it in the period before and after The Voice, Lin Shiyin’s fans could crush Fan Qiqi’s fans to death.
But now, Lin Shiyin's fans are indeed a bit lacking.
However, there were times when someone found someone who couldn't bear to see Fanxing's newcomer being bullied and joined the battlefield, which led to some back-and-forth quarrels.
The quarrels between fans continued, and netizens almost got tired of it. The time finally came to April 1st.
Lin Shiyin's "Rite of Coming of Age" was released at midnight on April 1st.
It happened to be the weekend, so there were still many people listening to it for the first time.
The discussion section of Music House quickly became lively.
[How to evaluate the album "Rite of Passage" by Good Voice champion Lin Shiyin]
"That's right, Lin Shiyin's singing skills and vocals are really nothing to say. With such skill at such a young age, the future is no longer promising. It's almost like taking off immediately!"
"For new singers, and even most singers, this album is naturally above the standard."
"My favorite is "Together No matter how far away". After Li Yi fell in love, he was full of trust in love."
"Indeed, a song like "Little Dimple" can be written. I can only imagine how comfortable this kid's life is now."
""Bubble" is really top-notch, Lin Shiyin is really a gift from God, and she can pick up the bass and treble at her fingertips."
"It's just okay. Am I the only one who thinks Li Yi has regressed? These new songs don't have the same sense of surprise as before."
"Yes, I have been afraid to speak. I thought I was the only one who didn't like it!"
"Because now the whole Internet is full of lies, and people who don't like it dare not tell the truth!"
"It's not that serious, not a disappointment, not a surprise, but this album is worth my money."
"What a step backwards. The quality of these new songs is really not bad."
Netizens generally approve of Lin Shiyin and "Rite of Passage".
However, because of some of his previous works, the public has considerable expectations for Li Yi, and accordingly there will be very high requirements. Some people feel that Li Yi has regressed.
Among them, "Small Dimple" has been criticized the most, saying it is a slobbery song.
Of course, there are plenty of sunspots mixed in.
In order to read the opponent's feedback, Fan Qiqi suppressed her sleepiness and stayed awake. When she saw these comments, she immediately became happy: "Now, even Li Yi can't help you."
Li Yidu, who is favored by the public, began to have criticisms. She felt that the balance of victory was already tilted to her side!
