I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 404 is so beautiful!

Facing the curious eyes of Lin Xiao and others, Mike Grenfell said, "I have worked in a record company before, so I have a certain understanding of the money-making model of a record company."

"Mr. Lin, the record company will feature two to three good works in an album, and then add a few or a dozen mediocre works, and then package them for sale."

Lin Xiao nodded to express his understanding. After all, good works are not so easy to get, so the model Mike Grenfell mentioned is not only in the United States, but also in the whole world.

At this time, Mike Grenfell continued: "In order to hear those two or three good works, fans will choose to buy the whole record back together."

"If it's sold on a per-song basis, it leads to people buying only those pieces they like."

"Mike is right." Roger Evans also said at this time.

"It's not just the record companies, the singers are not going to like this."

Now Lin Xiao finally knew where the first point of disagreement Roger Evans said was.

He opened the pirated website in front of the computer again, and said to the other party:

"Look, these sites have already broken up these albums, and if we can't let people buy the songs they like separately, then we can't compete with pirates. In fact, some pirated CDs have already done this. "

"Although this will reduce the number of users who buy ordinary works, it will also lead to better sales and wider popularity of those popular works."

After listening to Roger Evans, he was a little silent. He had to admit that what Lin Xiao said was true. In those pirated download channels on the Internet, the most popular songs were clearly polarized from other songs.

This has been a good illustration of the needs of users.

Lin Xiao added another sentence at this time: "Actually, Mr. Roger should be very clear that what can make fans remember a singer is definitely not how many songs the singer has released, but the number of representative works. How popular it is."

Roger Evans still didn't speak, but after pondering for a full minute, he spoke again:
"Another point is that 55% is basically impossible. The copyright of the song belongs to our record company, and we need to spend a huge cost for it."

"It's a fact that the copyright of the song belongs to you, but I don't agree with the understanding of the cost." Lin Xiao shook his head directly.

"The cost of making songs belongs to the upfront cost, but Gplayer bears all the follow-up costs. We have server costs, as well as maintenance and operation costs."

Seeing what Roger Evans had to say, Lin Xiao quickly continued: "Mr. Roger, I think we can continue to discuss the issue of the sharing ratio in the future. What needs to be confirmed now is that Warner Music approves this kind of cooperation. model."

55% is not Lin Xiao's bottom line. He has room to make concessions, but now is obviously not the right time to make concessions. If the bottom line is released now, and the other party uses the reason of convincing the entire management to make him make more concessions, he will lose room for negotiation.

Roger Evans nodded at this time, "Okay, there is indeed something to look forward to about this model, but the company's management must also have a lot of concerns."

"So now I really have no way to give you an accurate answer, whether the company agrees to this cooperation model."

Lin Xiao said with a smile on his face: "I understand. I have been in Los Angeles these days, and hope to hear good news from Mr. Roger as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Roger, I know that some of your big-name artists actually have a certain right to speak in terms of music copyrights. In the past few days, can I try to contact them?"

Roger Evans asked with some surprise: "You mean, you will persuade them?"

Just now, he was still thinking about how to persuade those pillars of the company.

"Try it." Lin Xiao said with a smile on his face.

Roger Evans thought about it, and there was no objection. In fact, he was still a little curious about how Lin Xiao would persuade other people.

The negotiation came to an end. After Lin Xiao and Roger Evans left each other's contact information, Lin Xiao also took the initiative to get up and leave.

Roger Evans sent Lin Xiao and others outside the company, shook hands with Lin Xiao, and said, "Mr. Lin, the scenery in Burbank is actually pretty good. You can show these beautiful ladies around."

While talking, Roger Evans looked at Lan Yumo who had hardly spoken during the negotiation.

"Okay, thanks for your suggestion."

Lin Xiao responded, and then left the company with a few people.

Walking out of the company gate, Mike Grenfell took the initiative to say to Lin Xiao: "Lin, Roger is right, the scenery in Burbank is good, but I can't accompany you, I have to find a way to get Warner's other people."

"Oh, by the way, I still need the singer under Yowarner. If there is any news, I will let you know in time."

"Okay, Mr. Mike, then I will trouble you."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Mike Grenfell said you're welcome, and left immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Fadell said that he had friends in Bamberke, and he wanted to meet up with friends and also left.

Lin Xiao turned his head and muttered to Lan Yumo, "Hey, these two people really just threw us here."

"Americans are not like Chinese people who like to talk so much about human relationships and sophistication." Lan Yumo responded from the side.

Lin Xiao thought about it for a while. If he found a company like Warner in Huaxia to discuss cooperation, and the chat was quite pleasant, the other party would invite him to stay for dinner or something.

Mike Grenfell is excusable, leaving like Fadell on his own, leaving his boss here, should not happen in China.

"Fadell didn't mean to leave on purpose, right?" Lin Xiao looked at the setting sun, and suddenly had such a thought in his mind.

At this time, Lan Yumo's voice also rang out, "Should we continue here today, or go back?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "Let's stay here for one night, see what news tomorrow has, and then make a decision."

"They all said that the scenery of Banboke is not bad, so let's take a look around too."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Lan Yumo gave a soft "hmm", and then the two walked on the street.

Bambork is a city with a strong cultural atmosphere and is known as the media capital of the world. In addition to Warner Music, Disney headquarters, American Broadcasting Corporation and other well-known media and entertainment companies have their headquarters here.

Among them, Disney Studios and Disney's Special Animation Building are very attractive attractions for tourists. Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo also visited the two places.

Walking in the streets and feeling different customs and cultures is also a rare experience.

At this time, the sun was about to completely set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone down. The colorful and exotic buildings seemed to be covered with a layer of bright red.

"What a nice view!"

Lan Yumo stopped and couldn't help sighing.

Lin Xiao also stopped and turned his head, just in time to see Lan Yumo's smiling side face, no longer cold and beautiful face, against the backdrop of the sunset, it looked extraordinarily soul-stirring.

"Yes, it's so beautiful!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but followed suit.

Lan Yumo turned his head if he felt something, just in time to see Lin Xiao's admiring eyes with a hint of intoxication, and immediately turned his head back.

There was a touch of shame in those eyes that looked like Wang Qiushui, full of amorous feelings.
