Chapter 56 Contract Standards
"Don't think about it, it's best to transfer to Lima. Even if you can't, you will never renew the contract. Anyway, you only have half a year left in the contract period. There is no worry about passing out. You can transfer freely at that time."

Li Kai glanced at her with weird eyes: "Are you out of your mind?"

"what's wrong?"

"childish."

Li Kai gave a two-word comment, with a heavy tone: "You were abandoned by the company first, and then Xianyu turned around. To put it bluntly, except for some high-level executives who are happy to see you, everyone else in the company has been slapped by you. Even if you put a knife in the heart and change your attitude towards you, it is the situation that forces them to change."

"If you continue to stay, it is equivalent to being with a group of wolves in sheep's clothing. They are looking forward to your death in their hearts, but they have a pleasant face on their faces. They dare not move openly, but keep making small moves in secret. In this case, what do you think the next picture will be?" What are the odds that the album will outsell this single?"

"Besides, your single became so popular that you have the capital to transfer. Now you can make a condition for the transfer. Unless you are [-]% sure that the next album will sell better than this single, otherwise the chance Don’t lose, listen up, I’m talking about assurance, not confidence.”

Xu Qiaoling was slapped in the face, first surprised, then hesitant, and finally suddenly enlightened, with a bit of joy and self-deprecating, she found that her own thoughts were really naive, and Li Kai's evaluation was absolutely correct.

Li Kai's attitude is very firm, this kind of choice that is about the turning point of life must not be ambiguous.

"I see, thank you."

"Fake politeness."

Li Kai smiled and skipped over this topic: "By the way, I want to ask you something, last time I heard you talk about the classification of singers in the music circle, the difference between the contract terms of singers of different grades signing with record companies How much do you know?"

Listening to Li Kai's question, Xu Qiaoling cleared her mind a little, and replied: "The details of each singer's contract are definitely different. I can only say that there is a general standard for the key terms."

"Take me as an example. The newcomer has an appointment for two years. The production cost of the first test single is no less than 5. You can get [-]% of the record sales. After that, the development depends on the single sales. And so on, the company will be responsible for undertaking the arrangements, four to six, I will take four, the company will take six, that's all."

"If a third-tier singer's contract is usually two to three years, the total cost of the first album will be promised. As far as I know, it is between 30 and 60. The record sales share is between six and eight points. Singers will account for [-] to [-] of commercial performances and so on."

"When it comes to the second line, singers will be equipped with exclusive managers. The contract period is generally three to five years. The total cost of the first album will not be less than 50. Sometimes they will make a promise for two albums. The sales share of the album is [-]-[-]. A little bit, business performances and so on, [-]-[-], but the manager's fee is borne by the singer."

"There are no certain rules for first-line singers at the top. I just heard that the king of heaven Zhao Yifu transferred to Rolling Snow Records among the five giants. The total cost of the first album is not less than 160 million. He has the right to decide on the album. Half of the songs in the album, and with a designated music production team, the record is divided into twelve points, commercial performances, endorsements, etc., account for [-]%."

Li Kai nodded in surprise. It was roughly the same as in his previous life. It doesn't matter that the bigger the singer, the more resource commitments he can get, and the higher the share ratio.

For record companies, both newcomers and third-tier singers belong to the training level, second-tier singers belong to the backbone, and first-tier and above-tier singers belong to the trump card.

The level of training is focused on competition, big waves wash away the sand, the survival of the fittest, and only promise the resource investment of one album. The increase or decrease of resources invested in the next album is determined by the performance of the first album.

The core team values ​​stability, so the contract period will be relatively long, say three to five years, and those who are young and have potential will generally have five years, and only veterans who are returning, semi-retired, or whose popularity has declined significantly will only be three years , or even shorter.

When it comes to the trump card, that is equal dialogue, and the content of the contract is discussed by everyone.

It is necessary to mention that the public often hears rumors that XX artistes are controlled by the company because they are afraid of being hidden. Therefore, more than [-]% of this XX artist is second-tier, and the company has been heavily praised by the company from the beginning. Newcomers sign long-term contracts with the company.

Below the second line and above the first line, the company's control over the artists is actually not that great. If a scandal breaks out, the factor of personal will will definitely account for a large proportion.

Xu Qiaoling suddenly said: "Well, if I transfer, the other record company will definitely ask me to talk. When the time comes, you will go with me and check for me."

Li stared blankly for a moment, then pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Well, I have only been in the industry for more than a year, and I don't have an agent. I can't believe that the company arranged one for me temporarily. This sum will determine the future for several years, and I feel panicked."

"You can trust me?"

"of course."

"I'm younger than you."

"In terms of worldly sophistication, you are much better than mastery."

"Uh, okay."

Li Kai was a little speechless, looked at her serious eyes, thought for a while, and agreed, he will also step into the music circle soon, wouldn't it be good to have more friends?

Xu Qiaoling's single is a big hit this time, and she has actually stepped into the second line, but because she has never released an album, and she can be said to be a semi-newcomer, the contract flexibility is indeed very large.

I, a senior veteran, helped to check, not to mention that I could get extra treatment, at least I could guarantee that she would not suffer.

"I won't say thank you."

"You're really welcome."

"I say thank you, but you say I'm fake polite, I don't say thank you, you say I'm really rude, you are really difficult to serve."

"Uh"

The two chatted while drinking, and when it was almost ten o'clock, a female singer came on stage and sang several songs at different speeds, and the last one turned out to be "Short Hair".

The female singer made some changes, and the taste was a bit different from Xu Qiaoling's. After listening to it, Li Kai smiled and said, "Can't you sing a song?"

Xu Qiaoling shook her head and said, "Forget it, I have contract restrictions, and I am not allowed to do private work. If I am recognized, I will let the company know, and it will cause extra trouble."

After finishing speaking, his eyes lit up: "Why don't you go up and sing a song, um, the song "Angel Among the Devils" in the final. It's such a happy decision."

She patted the table lightly, beckoned to the waiter, and asked the waiter to notify the manager to come over.

Li was dumbfounded: "What do you mean it's such a happy decision, do I agree?"

Xu Qiaoling stared, "Are you a man?"

".Does this have anything to do with being a man?"

"If it's a man, go ahead, don't tell me you can't do it!"

"."
