Becoming a top streamer begins when the singer's wife finds me

Chapter 7 Cooperation
(This chapter is poorly written, so I’ll just read it later. I haven’t figured out how to change it right now. Anyway, this contract is useless later.)
"Cooperation?"

The term is not the same as signing a contract.

When an artist signs a contract with an entertainment company, the company is the active party and can control the artist.

But cooperation means that both parties may stand on the same height and restrict each other, and the company cannot fully control the artists.

Bai Songchun didn't think he was over-interpreting the word cooperation, it was actually Xu Ran who emphasized that it was cooperation, not a contract.

"How to cooperate?" she asked.

Xu Ran said: "I will give you the exclusive distribution right of "Daoxiang". Within three years from the date of release, its profit, if you are happy, give me something to make me happy, and it doesn't matter if you don't. But I want you to give me a piece of paper. Different from the long-term contracts of your artists, we are a cooperation with a period of three years. During this period, I will not force you to find announcements for me to endorse variety shows. Similarly, you cannot force me to arrange announcements .I will definitely accept the announcement, but I have the right to refuse!"

After listening to a long passage, Bai Songchun heard the central idea, but she only cared about one thing: "You want to sign with our company, and only for three years, and leave after three years?"

"It's not a contract, it's a cooperation!" Xu Ran repeated, "If we have a happy cooperation, of course we can continue to cooperate."

In the initial stage, it is really a fantasy to think of no company.

He learned about Pure White Entertainment last night. This company is not big, but it has all the internal organs.

Although the distribution channels have not been fully opened up, several major channels are available, and its artists also have a high evaluation of it.

It just so happened that its boss needed him, and he got a chance to negotiate for no reason.

After hearing Xu Ran's request, Bai Songchun probably understood what the other party meant.

If an entertainment company signs an artist, five or eight years is the most basic period. There is no such thing as three years.

Leaving within three years is called a breach of contract, and you have to pay liquidated damages.

Therefore, Bai Songchun thought that the other party didn't want money, but wanted a lot, and asked for an artist liquidated damages!

In other words, Xu Ran wanted to use "Taoxiang" to pay the liquidated damages after three years.

The liquidated damages for artists are notoriously high, ranging from tens to millions.There are thousands, eight million, or even tens of millions.

In other words, now I want to buy "Daoxiang" at a price of no less than hundreds of thousands, and I just buy a three-year usage right?
Thinking of this, Bai Songchun couldn't accept it. She shook her head and said, "Mr. Xu, you may not know how the price of a song is determined. It is directly proportional to the creator's reputation!"

This is very clear, it means that Xu Ran's coffee is not enough, the song is a good song, but if the author is not famous, it will have to be covered with a layer of dust.

After waiting for this answer for a long time, Xu Ran also guessed what journey the other party had gone through in his heart.

"I think you are using "Daoxiang" as a bargaining chip for me to pay liquidated damages. You should not pay attention to the word I have been emphasizing. I am talking about cooperation with you, not you signing me as an artist. So you don't have to pay me Signing fee, there is no breach of contract.”

The amount of liquidated damages for an artist is related to the signing fee, which is proportional to several times or tens of times.That is, the higher the signing fee, the higher the liquidated damages.

"Aren't you?" Bai Songchun retorted, thinking that the other party was just exchanging the three-year usage rights of the song for breaking the contract.

Xu Ran said: "You can understand that "Daoxiang" is my sincerity in discussing cooperation with you. You use my song, and I use your company. In addition, even if I use it to pay liquidated damages, didn't you think it was very Okay? Why now because of my identity, its original value in your heart is greatly reduced?"

After saying this, Bai Songchun was a little bit gagged. He had been boasting all the time before, but by boasting, he made himself a hole?

What about being gentle and kind?How did it become so dark all of a sudden?

"Three years is too short! A company wants to create an artist, and the price is not small! Operations, channels, resources, publicity, etc. all need money! If you are really popular, you will be at your peak in three years , if you leave, wouldn't my previous investment be wasted?"

"I said that we may continue to cooperate. In addition, your investment is in publicity and the use of some equipment. I bring my own resources, and post-production and other places that require manual labor are all operated by myself. In addition, all of my Of course, you will not suffer from the benefits generated."

A three-year contract is indeed a fantasy for an entertainment company. Xu Ran must take into account the feelings of the other party, at least not to make them suffer and to get benefits.

Knowing that all the work is done by the other party, and she only needs to provide equipment and publicity, Bai Songchun was very surprised. This is a bit similar to investing in technology. She couldn't help asking:
"How to divide?"

"It's very simple. Before I earn 100 million in a year, you get 200%; 300 million, you get 500; 500 million, you get [-]; when it reaches [-] million, you get [-]%; if it's more than [-] million, I get [-]%."

This is a classification, many entertainment companies and artists are divided in this way, and the same is true for pure white, but 500% of the above [-] million is a bit outrageous.

Unless the contract is a first-line, or a popular top stream.

Could it be that Xu Ran thought that he was already in the first row of pure white faces?Without him, pure white can't grow up?

But Bai Songchun thought about it for a long time, and she was reluctant to accept this share, because she felt that it would be difficult for Xu Ran to reach the threshold of 500 million within three years.

"I can compromise on the share you mentioned, but the time is impossible. We need to talk about this!" She tried to keep her tone calm.

"If it's because of time, then there's no need to talk!"

Xu Ran shrugged and stopped talking.It can only be said that this result was expected, and he took another shot of the basketball in his hand.With a bang, the free throw line hit the board and scored a perfect score.

Regarding the signing time, there is absolutely no way for him to compromise.

Even to some extent, the share is not as important as this time.

This is work, not prostitution!
If you have money or connections, then you wouldn’t be here to talk about cooperation. Wouldn’t it be nice to go it alone?

There's no way, as an amateur, you can only develop in the early stage.

He played basketball on his own, and ignored the beautiful girl standing under the basket.

Xu Ran likes basketball very much, and his skills are good. When the two of them were not talking to each other, they scored several goals in a row.

But the more he entered, the more annoyed Bai Songchun became, and he wanted to go up and use the Sanda, Judo, and Taekwondo he learned to demonstrate to him one by one.

The atmosphere was stiff again, only the sound of basketball echoing.

"Mr. Xu, your conditions are too harsh!" Bai Songchun said in an emotionless tone.

Xu Ran turned a deaf ear to it. He saw a student's grandma tremblingly drying the winter quilt by the parallel bars at the door of the classroom. It was very inconvenient to move.

So he went to the basket, put down the basketball, took away his cell phone, and planned to help the old grandma put it in the sun.

Seeing people ignoring him, Bai Songchun became furious.Just when the basketball rolled to her feet, she picked it up and made a smashing action to vent her anger.

However, at this moment, Xu Ran turned around inadvertently, saw the woman holding the ball, and was stunned for several seconds.

Isn't she going to hit me with a ball?
Bai Songchun was a little embarrassed, walked to the basket calmly with a shy face, stood on tiptoes, pushed with both hands, and sent the basketball into the basket.

She picked up the ball again as if no one else was around, and looked at the figure helping the old man to dry the quilt, her teeth rattled.

"I'm so mad! You better not get caught!"

Bai Songchun was so angry that he had nowhere to go, so he clenched his small fists and hit the basketball hard. Immediately, the ball bounced higher than the backboard.

In the distance, Xu Ran took all this into his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched, this woman...

The strength is a bit big!

If you want to quarrel with your boyfriend in the future, if you punch him down, the man will not be able to lie down and sleep in a coffin?

Calm down first!

Bai Songchun forced herself not to be impulsive or kill people. She stood under the basket and analyzed the current needs of herself and the company.

In my opinion, "Taoxiang" is indeed very good, and it is also very necessary.It may not only bring profits, but also its own reputation and the future of the company.

In addition, Xu Ran said something that moved her heart very much!

That's the sentence, I bring my own resources!

Both myself and Pure White need resources, and they are very scarce.

Thinking of this, she began to hesitate even more.

Xu Ran came back not long after, Bai Songchun returned to the basket, and the two fell into silence again.

If there are outsiders passing by at this time, they will definitely think that this is a particularly loving couple.

The boy was sweating on the basketball court taking advantage of the morning light; the girl stood under the basket, gazing affectionately at the figure of her beloved.

Of course, the premise of this imagination is that you can't see the aggrieved expression on Bai Songchun's face and the small fists clenched behind his back.

With a bang, Xu Ran missed the shot, the ball bounced in front of Bai Songchun, Bai Songchun took it, and she took the initiative to speak:

"Mr. Xu, I can agree to everything you say, but I also have requirements!"

Xu Ran wanted to see the other party's willingness to make concessions.

Because even if he was in the rookie season, he might not be able to get such a contract, but he was not completely happy.

"You talk about it first!"

"First, I want to enjoy the right to use "Daoxiang" for life, and it can only be used by you and me! If others use it illegally, I have the right to sue and enjoy the benefits of the prosecution! After three years, the profits it generates , I will give you, I eight you two!"

"No, at least five five!"

"Seven-three is my bottom line!"

"Give me the ball!" Xu Ran said expressionlessly.

When Bai Songchun heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, and wanted to pretend to be dead and silent?

Seeing that the other party refused to give the ball, Xu Ran said lightly: "Don't feel that Wu Wu is at a disadvantage. You are a musician, so you should be very clear about the revenue curve of a song. After three years, you will not earn a few dollars just from the song. money."

It's no secret, it's the norm.Singers have never made money purely from music, but from variety shows, concerts and so on.

Of course, Bai Songchun understood that the reason why he was unwilling to agree was because the two of them had been pressured by the other party since the negotiation, and they felt very upset, so they also wanted to pressure each other once.

But after a stalemate for a while, she still gritted her teeth and agreed, and continued:

"Second, within the three years of the contract, I don't allow you to write songs for people outside the company, and I want you to write three songs for me! The combined sales of these three songs must not be less than 1000 million! If it is lower, you have to fill in the missing sales!"

"You think too much, who can guarantee that your song will be popular? The king of heaven and the queen can't guarantee it? Besides, if you order a song for 800 yuan and you can't sell it, I have to pay you Ten billion?"

Xu Ran will definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request, although he is very confident that he can come up with three songs that have sold more than [-] million in total.

"I can promise to write three songs for you, and I won't play tricks on you and write them casually on purpose, but I can't guarantee that it will be a hit. For the other three songs, we need to sign another sharing agreement."

After thinking for a long time, Bai Songchun agreed by default, and continued to make the last request: "The third and most important point. I can give you the contract, and I agree to what you say, but I want to see the effect. I can't give me "Daoxiang" I am willing to admit that the new album will increase sales. But what if you cannot bring profits to the company after joining the company, or even occupy the company's resources in vain?"

She went on to say: "In the music industry, there are not a few people who have exhausted their talents after writing a hit song. Why do I think that "Dao Xiang" is just your pioneering work, not your last swan song?"

Originally, the contract was at a disadvantage, and it would not be worth it if the fee was reversed because of it.

"So what do you need me to do?" Xu Ran knew the other party's concerns and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

If you are a boss, you must also calculate whether the partner can bring benefits to you.

Bai Songchun said: "I won't sign the contract for the time being. Wait until you come up with a second song that I think is good, or a song that I don't approve of but is recognized by the market. At that time, I will sign it immediately!"

In the final analysis, he still had to prove his own strength, Xu Ran understood clearly.

"But what if I can't get it?" he asked.

"Then it can only be said that I have nothing to do with "Daoxiang", or we can make a contract on the song itself, we can..."

"Wait!" Xu Ran interrupted her, then took out his phone and found the music player, "Listen to this one first."

Seeing the phone and hearing the music again, Bai Songchun was stunned, "You still have?"

how?still want?

Xu Ran thought that he really couldn't give it away. This song was his debut song, and it was very meaningful, so he couldn't just sell it.

The sound of the music prevented Bai Songchun from thinking too much. She stood opposite Xu Ran and listened quietly.

Until more than four minutes later, the whole world was silent.

"I really want to know how many songs this world doesn't know?" She said with a complex expression.

"It's really the last song!"

Xu Ran's appearance is very sunny, and it is easy to arouse the spring water in the hearts of those Huaichun girls, but in Bai Songchun's view, he feels that this face is treacherous!
This person... is too dark, too worthy of a beating!
"Ms. Xu, are you really a math teacher?"

From the creation to the negotiation of the contract, this is not a good thing at all. It is obviously prepared, and it is not an outsider, who knows a lot about signing.

Faced with doubts, Xu Ran clarified: "Then do you need me to give you a math problem?"

"Thank you, no need!" Bai Songchun refused.

"Go ahead and play. I'll chat with you on WeChat, and you can send me your requirements. If there are no accidents, I can get you a contract in the afternoon."

Not even a minute after the two exchanged contact information, Xu Ran sent a document.

Seeing this, Bai Songchun took a deep look at him, "I really came prepared!"

"Not for you, but for anyone else."

Bai Songchun cursed again in his heart, then flicked the ball to Xu Ran with some displeasure, and said:
"The song is well written, the heart is good, and the ball is played well!"

"Well, you smashed better!"
