Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 461 The contract is very conscientious, but the strength is too poor
After listening to Masashi Sada's words, Cao Zhiqiang frowned instinctively.

Without him, I just feel that this is too sudden.

Although what Satian Masashi said was very reasonable and emotional, but to put it bluntly, he just wanted to recruit Cao Zhiqiang to work for him.

After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang said tactfully: "Mr. Satian, we agreed at the beginning that we would form a Chinese-Japanese group and work hard together. Now you suddenly say that you don't want to form a group and want me to debut alone. This is not appropriate. Bar?"

"Mr. Cao Zhiqiang..."

"Wait, let me finish."

After waving at Masashi Sada, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "I know what you said, it seems reasonable, but it's really nothing.

For example, about your illness, we can wait for you to take care of your body. At worst, we will hold fewer concerts, or cancel the concert altogether, and just sell records. "

Masashi Sada smiled bitterly: "Cao Sang, if I had no debts, of course I can do this, but now I am burdened with huge debts, if I don't pay them off early, the longer the time delays, the more money I have to pay back. Also bigger.

I must pay back the money now while I am still young, otherwise, in case of my unfortunate early death, the debt will be on my brother's head because he is the guarantor. "

That is to say, once Cao Zhiqiang signs a contract with Satian Project and becomes the signatory of Satian Project, he will officially become the exclusive signing artist of Satian Project.

In addition, there is a small door here, open the small door, there is a small terrace outside, there is a small wrought iron table and two small wrought iron chairs on the terrace, and the layout is quite elegant.

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "That's right. I've been talking to you in Japanese for so long. Can I not understand Japanese? Show it to me. After reading it, I'll think about it and give you an answer within three days."

If it is the distribution channel that the contracted company is looking for, it is usually [-]% to [-]%, that is, the company gets [-]% and the artist gets [-]%. Here, this is a relatively famous singer, but here, Masashi Sada gives [-]% to [-]%. points, also very conscientious.

"Yes, I understand." Cao Zhiqiang said, "But it's still the same sentence, it's a big matter, you want me to think about it after all, okay?"

"Ah, yes, of course." Masashi Sada's eyes lit up, "The documents are in my study, but they are all in Japanese. Can you... understand it?"

Obviously, Masashi Sada's mental state is not normal now, or strictly speaking, he is a little prone to disease anxiety disorder.

"Yes!" Masashi Sada nodded, "For me, you are a rare commodity to live in. Others don't know, but I know your potential and strength very well.

Within five years, the copyright of the Japanese songs written by Cao Zhiqiang during this period shall belong to Sada Planning. After five years, when the contract expires, the copyright shall belong to Cao Zhiqiang again, but Sada Club has the priority to renew the contract.

"Then come with me." Masashi Sada said quickly, "Go to my study."

Even if Cao Zhiqiang is the exclusive contracted artist of this studio, and the studio promises to fully cooperate with him and cultivate Cao Zhiqiang, it's not a big deal.

Cao Zhiqiang looked at his handwritten letters and nodded.

"Of course." Masashi Sada smiled, "I have always liked Chinese culture, and I know this saying."

"By the way." Cao Zhiqiang said suddenly, "Since you want to sign me, do you have any preliminary contract documents? Even a draft is fine. If so, can you show me the contract documents?"

But the problem is that Sada Project is just a studio with limited strength, and it is completely incomparable with those big record companies.

Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his nose: "I just came here, and you suddenly proposed this idea. I have to think it over... How about giving me a few days?"

After saying hello casually, Masashi Sada hurriedly dragged Cao Zhiqiang upstairs and went straight to his study.

In particular, according to Masashi Sada, I will arrange N more concerts for myself in the future, so I must not be exhausted?
So right away, Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to sign this contract.

Seeing Masashi Sada's expression and tone, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head slightly.

Cao Zhiqiang put away the letter paper and smiled: "Mr. Satian, don't worry. There is an old saying in China that you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. Didn't you say it? This is a big matter. Let me think it over and give you an answer in three days.

Masashi Sada was taken aback, then slapped his thigh with a smile: "Hey, you're right, you really should relax first.

"No problem!" Sada Masashi smiled, "You should think about this matter carefully, but don't take too long, because in another week, I will have a concert, and it will be a large-scale concert with more than [-] people.

The seven to three points that Masashi Sada can give are really good. In fact, with the current market situation in the Japanese music scene, this kind of artist who finds his own way is generally a five to five points.

I hope you can make a decision early and sign an appointment with me early, so that at the concert a week later, I can take you out and introduce you to everyone. "

"Can I take a closer look?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang and Masashi Sada went back to the living room. As soon as they entered the door, they saw two secretaries of Cao Zhiqiang chatting and laughing with Masashi Sada's younger brother and sister, and they seemed to have hit it off.

In addition, Sada Planning will help promote and distribute all of Cao Zhiqiang's activities in Japan.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "How about this, give me three days, within three days, I will give you an answer, okay?"

"How about it, no problem?" Masashi Sada said excitedly and anxiously, "If you have any questions, you can ask them. Then, if you think it's appropriate, why don't we sign the contract earlier?"

That is to say, Cao Zhiqiang has absolute autonomy, he is not a puppet of Sada Project, and he does not follow the orders of Sada Club after signing the contract, and do whatever he asks you to do.

However, in the case of Masashi Sada, he still wants to sign a contract with himself, wants to make himself his exclusive artist, and promises to make me a big star, isn't that too arrogant?

Obviously, the Sada project run by Masashi Sada is a veritable small company, no, it can't even be called a company, it can only be called a studio.

Masashi Sada's current situation is obviously an early symptom of this hypochondriac.

After coming to the study, I found that this is not a simple study, but more like a sound practice room.

Having said that, I just came here, so you should do your best to be a landlord and let me have a good time. When I have enough fun, it will not be too late to talk about work. "

If it is the distribution channel that Cao Zhiqiang personally found, then according to the principle of [-]% to [-]%, Cao Zhiqiang [-]% and the company [-]%.

That’s right, it’s 1983, not to mention domestic, even in Japan, printers are not popular, generally only large companies have special printers and copies, ordinary small companies really need to go to a special printing shop to print materials .

Speaking of this, Masashi Sada walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a few 16-mo letter papers full of words, smiled and said, "Here it is, here is the signing document!"

That is to say, in the future, no matter whether it is releasing records, appearing on TV, publishing posters, shooting commercials, holding concerts, etc., all the income of Sada Project will be shared with Cao Zhiqiang [-]-[-].

Outside of Japan, it is not within the scope of this restriction.

Therefore, Masashi Sada's current mentality is nothing more than a mental illness caused by excessive pressure, and it should recover after a period of recuperation.

For example, if Cao Zhiqiang wrote a Japanese song and wanted to produce and distribute it in Japan, the Sada Club would help with a package distribution plan, such as releasing records, appearing on TV, radio, holding concerts, etc.

But if this is the case, Cao Zhiqiang will devote most of his time and energy to this side, and he will truly become a worker here.

"That's right." Masashi Sada smiled, "Before I came to rent the house, the previous tenant was a painter. He transformed the master bedroom into a studio, which is this room. I just fell in love with this room. Just assembled this house.

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, and then said: "In short, you want to be behind the scenes in the future, or be my manager, push me out, and make me a star in Japan. Is that what you mean?"

But this is only limited to the case where the distribution channel is planned by Sada.

Therefore, if you are willing to sign with my club and be the exclusive singer for my club, the conditions can be negotiated slowly.

In fact, it is not complicated. The draft agreement of Masashi Sada is simply a sharing model.

How about this, I've been in Tokyo for a while, and I'm pretty familiar with this place, so I'll take you out for fun next time.

Because in addition to tables and office supplies, there are guitars, basses, and electronic pianos here, and the walls and windows have obviously been remodeled, and sound-absorbing and sound-proof materials have been installed.

After finishing speaking, Masashi Sada looked at Cao Zhiqiang again: "Besides, Cao Sang, I also think that you are a much better talented singer than me, and you should have a wider space to display your talent.

On the contrary, if you make your debut in Japan, accumulate a certain amount of fame and money, and then return to the mainland, the effect may be better.

The point is, if this is the case, I don't have to run around all day long. I just need to use my current fame to bring you around and push you at the beginning, and the follow-up services can be handed over to my brother or sister.

All issuance plans must be approved by Cao Zhiqiang himself. If Cao Zhiqiang himself does not agree, the issuance plan cannot be enforced.

Masashi Sada sighed: "I'm still young, but I have liver disease, and I don't know if it will deteriorate into cancer. If it deteriorates, I'm afraid I won't live long, so I'm worried."

After the formal signing, you will become our exclusive artist, and the plan to push your debut can be put on the agenda. "

On the whole, this draft contract is actually quite conscientious, at least in terms of the current Japanese music scene, it is true.

From then on, within five years, at least in Japan, Cao Zhiqiang can no longer cooperate with other performing arts companies, and can no longer go to other performing arts companies to become a signed singer. If he breaks the contract, he will have to pay [-] million yen in compensation.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang has worked hard, and in the end, what he can really get is probably only a few leftovers. At most, he can be famous, and then he will slowly accept commercials and commercial performances, step by step.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "You know a lot, and you know this sentence."

"You don't need to comfort me." Sada Masashi sighed, continued to smell the cigarette in his hand, and then said quietly, "I feel that I won't live long, but because of this, I can't let my family worry about me , That's why I want to make money early, make enough money, at least pay off my own debts first."

Of course, the specific conditions can be discussed again. When both of us are satisfied and the negotiation is settled, we can go to the printing shop, formally print out the document, and then formally sign it.

Although it is written by hand, the basic content is included, including the profit distribution after you post a song here, etc., it is clearly written.

For example, if Cao Zhiqiang accepts an advertisement personally, after the tax is deducted from the advertising revenue, the remaining money will be [-]-[-]%, Cao Zhiqiang [-]%, the company [-]%.

Finding that Cao Zhiqiang still didn't agree immediately, Masashi Sada rubbed the cigarette anxiously, but finally sighed: "Okay, then you must think about it, I'm really sincere, this is definitely a very good offer." Cooperation is absolutely beneficial and harmless to you!"

Indeed, anyway, in the previous life, before Cao Zhiqiang crossed over, Masashi Sada seemed to be alive and well, obviously a long-lived person.

Don't think it's unfair, it's actually very conscientious, after all, you are the company's exclusive signed artist, theoretically speaking, the company and you are bound together, and the company will spend a lot of effort and money to build you and package you , so during the contract period, even if you take the job personally, you have to pay the company theoretically.

"Mr. Satian, why do you do this?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "You are still young, why do you want to die?"

Because in order to really promote Cao Zhiqiang in Japan, Sada Planning must cooperate with other big distribution companies, and they will take a large profit first.

This is probably the content, which basically covers the most critical issues of copyright ownership and revenue sharing after distribution.

This is what you often say, by the way, flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall. "

"Yes!" Masashi Sada smiled, "The above is just my initial thoughts, but it describes in detail what I want to do and the benefits you can get. Simply put, it is your responsibilities and obligations after signing with our club. .

"Don't worry, Satian-kun." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I think your health is very good, you won't get any liver cancer, and you will live for a long time."

Don't worry, I will definitely give you the most favorable conditions, and I will support you with all my strength, how about it? "

Then, after I rented it out, I made some changes to this room, nothing more than adding some sound insulation materials to avoid disturbing the people during practice. "

Masashi Sada took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, then three days."

Cao Zhiqiang looked at it and raised his eyebrows: "Handwritten?"

"Then how long do you have to think about it?" Masashi Sada couldn't help asking.

It's just that Masashi Sada is Cao Zhiqiang's friend after all, and he was able to come to Japan this time thanks to his invitation letter, so it's not appropriate to reject him right now.

"Of course." Masashi Sada quickly handed over the handwritten letter.

In addition, I understand you, and I will not deceive my friends.

At that time, you will gain both fame and fortune, and we will also make a lot of money.

As for the distribution of income, in principle, it is split [-]-[-].

Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it later."

Illness anxiety disorder, also known as hypochondriasis, or hypochondriacal neurosis, is mainly characterized by patients who think they have or are about to suffer from a serious disease, and therefore seek medical treatment repeatedly or avoid maladaptive avoidance.

"It's a good place." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and praised, "Your practice room?"

As long as you are willing to sign a contract with me, I will do my best to help you, and I will definitely make you a famous singer in Japan.

On the contrary, Satian Project is more like Cao Zhiqiang's assistant or assistant. As long as Cao Zhiqiang wants to do something, Satian Project will fully cooperate and will not interfere too much with Cao Zhiqiang's personal will.

Cao Zhiqiang read it briefly, and soon understood what Masashi Sada wrote, or the conditions he offered.

It's not that the mainland is bad, but for now, it's not particularly suitable for you, at least in terms of making money.

Although he has time-traveled now, if there is no accident, Masashi Sada will probably be a long-lived person, which is determined by his genes.

Although my younger brothers and sisters are not good at writing songs or singing, if they are to be managers, they are quite qualified.

By the way, you have heard of Ueno Park, otherwise, I will take you to Ueno Park after lunch.

I have been to Ueno Park, and then I will take you to Ginza for shopping.

After shopping, let's meet in a bar tonight. I'll meet you with some friends from the entertainment industry. They are all famous female singers. I guarantee you will be satisfied! "

"Yaoxi!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded in satisfaction, "That's it."
