Entertainment: At the beginning, fans held a concert for me

Chapter 41 Betting that Fang Kai will soar into the sky

When Fang Kai came, he naturally had something to discuss, but he didn't really intend to leave at this moment.

Returning to the position, Goldman Sachs picked up the water bottle and filled Fang Kai with water, and said with a half smile: "Since Mr. Fang is still unwilling to sell the copyright, let's talk about cooperation."

Fang Kai nodded and said: "Mr. Gao, my music will still be free for my fans to listen to on the Internet. This will not change."

After saying this, Fang Kai repeated again: "So, our cooperation is limited to the playback and sharing of electronic copyrights."

Regarding this issue, Goldman Sachs actually has a certain general direction. According to Fang Kai's understanding in the past, his free of charge should be the most important thing.

Even, at the end of his thinking about the whole issue, he felt that Fang Kai's songs were all free, which should be the reason why Fang Kai has been able to maintain such popularity.

In other words, the reason why so many diehard fans have been supporting him.

In fact, at present, the domestic economic pressure is no longer as great as before, but there is a reason why songs are free.

But the key point is that while the singer's popularity will increase for free, the image in the fans' hearts will also increase. After all, the singer does not rely on fans to make money.

But for a music platform, if there is no playback copyright, then VIP cannot be set up and fees cannot be charged.

In this way, income will really plummet.

But Goldman Sachs is still willing to come to talk to Fang Kai, the reason is actually very simple, that is, he witnessed the overnight success of Fang Kai ten years ago, this time the concert held by Fang Kai fans for him was so successful, let him also deeply understand , Fang Kai's fan appeal is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

If Fang Kai's music copyright can be signed, then as long as Fang Kai's fans will come to Penguin Music to listen to songs in the future, this will have a great effect on their Penguin Music's long-term stability in the number one position in the platform music circle .

Moreover, these new songs of Fang Kai are like those new songs ten years ago. They have already attracted a large number of old and new fans to join them when they were released, and the drainage effect brought about by them is really powerful.

So after thinking about it, Goldman Sachs directly gave an answer. He said: "We are old friends, so I will be straightforward. Penguin Music needs the exclusive right to play all your new songs in the future. The signing fee is 5000 million. Then calculate your 500 million playback rights transfer fee for each song separately."

To be honest, Fang Kai was a little surprised when he heard the price.

Ten years ago, when he released the song, because it was released on all platforms, there was no signing fee, but when Goldman Sachs found him, he only gave him a signing fee of 300 million.

The ten-year difference is more than ten times, which is indeed terrifying. Of course, based on the popularity of last night's concert, this fee can still be justified now.

But when Fang Kai signed with IELTS seven years ago, he did not give IELTS his full copyright, and even signed a commercial use right with IELTS at that time, that's all.

Hearing this question from Goldman Sachs now, he has no objection to the price, but he said: "If it is exclusive, it will go against my original intention, but I can consider giving Penguin Music the priority to put on the shelves, and all new songs in the future are even more nonsense. Talk, because in the future, I will create more and better music, believe me, I can do it."

Fang Kai's words were sonorous and forceful. Goldman Sachs was stunned by what kind of storms Goldman Sachs had seen. He was also shocked by Fang Kai's self-confidence at the moment. After a while, he said again: "The signing fee is reduced to 3000 million. All new songs within three years Penguin Music’s priority on the shelves is given to Penguin Music, and the priority time is two hours. The transfer fee for the playback right is still 500 million per song.”

After Goldman Sachs said this, he added: "Although I am a businessman, I still don't want to have any conflicts with you. I think this time I will talk to you very sincerely."

Fang Kai thought for a moment, stood up and said, "It's a happy cooperation."

The corner of Goldman Sachs's mouth curled into a smile, the stuffed meat trembled and he said, "Mr. Fang is really refreshing."

Both Fang Kai and Goldman Sachs made this decision after careful consideration.

Fang Kai wanted to hold another concert, so naturally he could no longer ask fans to raise funds, but had to figure out a way by himself.

But over the years, after deducting the benefits of the company, my income can basically only be maintained at a certain standard of living, which is only a few million yuan. There is no way to hold a concert.

He has also considered signing with Penguin Music. Whether it is from the current status and traffic of Penguin Music, or from the attitude of Goldman Sachs, and Penguin Music has not restricted his upload rights, he thinks it is no problem.

In addition, if the two hours of priority are not given to Penguin Music, then for Goldman Sachs, one more or one less is not a big deal at all, but he can get a good reward for sacrificing two hours of song priority. Why not do it.

And these remunerations are enough to hold a grander concert again.

At the same time, he can also be more confident in negotiating terms with other music platforms, and maybe even get some unexpected results.

In the past, he didn't fight because of the system, but also because he didn't like it.

Now, he doesn't fight, but he needs to create more good music, and then sing it to fans who like him.

And to do this, there are some things he has to fight for.

For Goldman Sachs, the decision was not hasty.

It can even be said that this is a bottom line that has been discussed within their penguin team.

It's just that he still wants to bargain with Fang Kai, but the result is not ideal, but this does not prevent the success of this matter. For him, this is a cooperation, but it is also a gamble.

He bet that Fang Kai will soar into the sky in the future, and the accumulation of these years is to create more and more beautiful music.

Just like what Fang Kai said confidently just now.

After Fang Kai and Goldman Sachs separated, not long after, Kumao and Wang Yiyun who received the news also called one after another to make an appointment to meet, but Fang Kai refused all of them, but they had a brief communication on the phone.

In the end, they all agreed to Fang Kai's request.

Because Penguin Music has the two-hour priority release rights, and Fang Kai’s songs continue to be free, so they only gave a signing fee of 800 million yuan, and a fee of 50 yuan per song for the music electronic playback copyright. Add up, Fang Kai's three new songs currently have 950 million views on each platform.

After all this was settled, Fang Kai twisted his neck, feeling that the day was quite fulfilling.

Only then did I realize that good things can really make me happy physically and mentally, but at this moment, Fang Kai received a call from Liu Tingting.
