Chapter 195 It's Not Difficult To Be A Popular Singer On Your Own

Fang Jiming said unceremoniously: "So, the price of each song is 60, isn't that expensive?"

Qiao Zi'an was silent, he really wanted to make a decision and get the six songs, but the money had already exceeded the amount that Qiao Zi'an could decide, so he could only look at Huang Yuda.

Although it was only a short passage, Huang Yuda could tell that Qiao Zi'an really liked these six songs, and each song was comparable to "Flying Higher".If there are these six songs, it is guaranteed that Qiao Zian will be popular for another six years.In other words, it is already the limit for a singer to be popular for about ten years.Many singers disappeared after only being popular for a few years.Some singers only became popular for one song, and even worse, some singers were never popular at all.

How powerful is a singer who has been popular for ten years?
First of all, business performances and running acupoints, at least during this period, I can earn tens of millions.Secondly, after the concert, I can earn tens of millions.If you leave the company during the period and work on your own, if you do well, it will not be a problem to earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions.This is the power of a popular singer, fame equals capital.

Therefore, Qiao Zian was really moved.

If it weren't for the singers not daring to leave the record company these days, Qiao Zian would have decided to buy the song himself.Because singers themselves have no way to control the entire industry chain of records, at least tape production and distribution. These days, they still need the distribution channels of record companies.It's not like in the Internet age, when you set up your own studio, you can earn a lot of money from music copyrights, concerts, variety shows, and so on.As for releasing an album, it really doesn't make any money.

This point, the singers did not lie.This is also the reason why singers keep releasing albums, but don't expect them to sell well and make money.The money earned is not enough to hold a concert, not enough to pay for the last variety show.But in order to expand their popularity and maintain their status in the music scene, singers had to continue preparing albums.

Huang Yuda said: "How about we ask the company for instructions?"

Qiao Zian nodded in acquiescence, and then Huang Yuda went out to make a call.

"Mr. Fang..."

Just as Qiao Zi'an wanted to say something more, Fang Jiming said, "Don't call me teacher, you can't afford it, just call me by my name."

"That... really can't be lower?" Qiao Zi'an was a little embarrassed, "If the company intervenes, my suggestion... It's hard to convince the company's leaders? Look at this... If you find it troublesome, We’ll just make up our own.”

Fang Jiming said: "Then why don't you just do it yourself? It's so difficult. Don't tell me that your contract hasn't expired yet? Besides, how much is it to spend some money to buy out your own contract?" Disaster."

Qiao Zian smiled wryly: "The contract expires in one year, but how can a singer not cooperate with a record company, what if the next album doesn't sell well?"

"You're really stupid. You're good at singing. If you're doing business, it's like being cheated and paying for money." Fang Jiming shook his head and said, "In your new album, the ratio of pirated tapes to genuine tapes is More than 8:1, what is the concept? That is to say, the pirated channel is better than the genuine one. If you can persuade the pirated tape factory to make tapes for you and give him more money than the pirated tapes, wouldn’t you have mastered your own channel? At that time, not to mention selling millions of dollars, millions of dollars will do! With this method, what kind of record company do you care about?"

This is the truth, Fang Jiming really admires the pirates, they do whatever they want to make money.A box of pirated tapes retails for five to eight yuan, but the manufacturer's ex-factory price is more than two yuan, plus transportation costs and so on, and there is still a profit.You turn the pirated version into a genuine one, and give the manufacturer an ex-factory price of three yuan. Do you think the manufacturer is willing to do it?
Definitely do it!

As long as the tape production is fixed, and the CD pirates are also taken down, won't the distribution channels be perfect?The conditions for doing it alone will come out, and the opportunity to make a lot of money will come out.

Qiao Zian was very moved when he heard this, and after careful consideration, he rejected Fang Jiming's suggestion.

Fang Jiming was also helpless, he had been pointed out all the ways, but it was a pity that Qiao Zian just didn't want to take the risk himself.

After a while, a person in charge of Xintu Records came over.

When Huang Yuda introduced him, he said, "This is the music director of Xintu Records, Shi Xuemin."

Fang Jiming shook hands with Shi Xuemin, and found that he was about 40 years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked like a well-educated scholar. "Hi, I'm Fang Jiming."

Shi Xuemin was surprised by Fang Jiming's youth, and said with emotion: "I've always heard that talented creators are all young people, and now I finally meet them."

Fang Jiming smiled, and said modestly: "Good luck, good luck." Isn't it good luck? If it weren't for rebirth, how could Fang Jiming sell songs?
"I'll watch the demo first." Shi Xuemin picked up the six songs and watched them one by one.

After a long time, Shi Xuemin breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was afraid that he would get out of breath and blow the six songs away.

"I heard that the asking price is 40, but you still think it's too low?" Shi Xuemin also asked tentatively.

Fang Jiming said with a smile: "If it's not a lack of money, I'd rather receive a share of the total profit." Fang Jiming knows too well that in the era of ring tones, even if a song only earns tens of millions of ring tones, the record company can still make a profit Nearly half, so according to this ratio, Fang Jiming's 5% share is more than 60.

Of course, 60 is the price that Fang Jiming casually said, leaving room for bargaining.Fang Jiming's psychological price is still 50 a song, and the overall price is 300 million.There can only be more, not less.If it is less, Fang Jiming will not sell it yet, and he will think of other ways.

Shi Xuemin was also a little confused. The song must be a good song, and it seemed to be tailor-made for Qiao Zian, but it was hard to say whether it could make money.Because of an album, the company can spend up to 100 million yuan to buy songs for you, and you use up hundreds of thousands at once, what about the remaining songs?
"60 is too much, why can't it be less?" Shi Xuemin smiled wryly, "There is no songwriter in the industry who can command such a high price."

Fang Jiming smiled and said: "I heard that there is a 3% commission, or I will follow this 3% as well. For six songs, you will give me a total of 60 in the early stage."

Shi Xuemin was even more reluctant. If these songs can reach the height of "Flying Higher", it is obviously a huge profit!Business is like this, profit comes first, and no one is willing to let go.From the extent of the big sale, the absolute ratio of buyout is a bargain.Because "Flying Higher" is not only income from tapes and CDs, but also copyright income. Although there is no CRBT business yet, in terms of copyright income, record companies have found that it is increasing year by year.

Therefore, Shi Xuemin felt unwilling to spend more money on songs. "It's still too expensive. In this way, 45 yuan for a song is already very sincere."
