This star is wrong

Chapter 235 Concentrate on content and start a brokerage company
Tuesday morning, regular studio meeting.

So far, Fang Xing still accepts jobs in the name of the studio.

Although the new company "Ark Culture" was registered, the framework of the company has not yet been set up.

In a sense, this company is now a leather bag company.

The work of the company is mainly done by the employees of the studio.

However, at present, Ark Culture only has one project, "Let's Sing and Sing".

And as long as this project is being produced by Feifan Entertainment, Ark Culture doesn't actually have much workload.

However, as the company's business continues to expand, the size of the company will definitely increase.

Fang Xing has also been asking Qiao Yinghong to pay attention to talents in this area, especially to find a suitable human resources director.

"Boss, I have asked my acquaintances from the headhunting company to help me pay attention to HR talents. I have also received a few resumes, but they are still in the initial stage of understanding. This matter requires both parties to have the intention to proceed to the next step." Qiao Yinghong said The previous work is reported first.

Followed by.

Fang Xing began to arrange the selection of the King Quan theme song: "Guo Keda, for the King Quan theme song, I sent you the demo this morning, have you heard it?"

"Of course I listened, you're awesome!" Guo Keda gave a thumbs up, with the words "worship" written all over his body.

"Well, don't answer the announcement these few days. You mainly practice the rap part. Let's have a reunion tomorrow. What I want is refreshing and free-spirited rap." Fang Xing arranged for Guo Keda to practice singing first. We'll have to wait until after tomorrow's joint practice to find out.

Guo Keda stroked his forehead with his finger, and assured him: "No problem, I have already pushed back this week's announcements, and the pores of my whole body are excited when I think of being able to be on Satellite TV."

Fang Xing looked at Qiao Yinghong and said, "Is there any other work to discuss?"

There is no need for Fang Xing to ask about trivial matters in the studio.

However, when it comes to management and songs, you still have to report to Fang Xing.

Qiao Yinghong pulled out a work report and said, "That's right, here is a cooperation plan for Joyful Entertainment, and the boss needs to look at it."

As she spoke, she pushed a proposal to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing picked it up and flipped through it casually. The content was about "It's a pity that there is no such thing".

Qiao Yinghong explained from the side: "Joyful Entertainment is Shen Xiyin's management company, and they want to release "Unfortunately", they say they will record the CD version first, and release it simultaneously when the show is broadcast.

"The other party also said that they can choose to sing as a chorus, or Shen Xiyin will sing solo. For this reason, Happy Entertainment is willing to pay 3 million for a one-time purchase of the license, and at the same time, our studio will share 30% of the follow-up proceeds."

Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin sang the song "Unfortunately" on the show, but the CD version has not been recorded yet.

Moreover, "Singing and Singing" was not broadcast.

Generally speaking, it is normal for songs like this to be sung for the first time on a show to be released simultaneously when the show is broadcast.

But, that's the problem.

Happy Entertainment is trying to distribute this song through their channels.

The price is a bit embarrassing.

The copyright fee of 3 million is not bad for ordinary songs.

However, if Songshi Records is released, Fang Xing can get 50% of the revenue share.

It's a bit strange to be happy and entertained.

If Fang Xing really agrees to Happy Entertainment to release "Unfortunately", it means that Happy Entertainment has eaten the cake of Songshi Records, and at the same time, the share is only 30%.

"I don't understand, what does this company want to do?" Fang Xing was full of doubts.

In fact, the conditions offered by Joyful Entertainment are quite good in the domestic music scene. 90.00% of the musicians will agree with this plan.

Only gold medal producers like Xu Shangyan and Li Yucheng would scoff at this kind of cooperation.

As for Fang Xing so far, even if he sang songs for other singers, he still gets 50% of the share, even for the queen Zhang Huiying.

This makes the cooperation plan of Happy Entertainment a bit like a white wolf with empty hands.

Qiao Yinghong guessed casually: "It may be that Happy Entertainment wants to make a price first, and wait for us to counter the price. Or it may be that Shen Xiyin has already sung this song on the show, and they have to give this song if they want to. "

Fang Xing became even more puzzled, and asked, "Shen Xiyin came and said that he wanted to release "Unfortunately No If"?"

Xiao Zhao, the executive manager in charge of the contact, quickly shook his head: "I haven't seen Shen Xiyin, it was Shen Xiyin's manager who talked to me. Because the boss and Shen Xiyin have just worked together, I'm not sure if the boss and Shen Xiyin talked about this matter, so I can only report this job.”

Fang Xing thought for a while, and said, "Sister Hong, you can talk to Shen Xiyin and see if she really wants to release this song."

Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll make a phone call at noon to chat with Shen Xiyin and ask what's on there."

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon.

Fang Xing's cell phone rang, and when he connected it, it was Qiao Yinghong's call.

"Boss, Shen Xiyin came to the studio and said that she wanted to explain to you in person. I have already talked to her. She has a problem with the agency and has been apologizing to me. If the boss is not free, I will Let her go back first, and I will talk about it in the next meeting."

Qiao Yinghong said that she couldn't explain this matter clearly on the phone, and this matter is not urgent, so she can leave it for another meeting.

Fang Xing happened to have time, so he said, "Forget it, I'm near the company, so I'll go there."

After ten minutes.

When Fang Xing returned to the company, Shen Xiyin quickly stood up as soon as he entered the door, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really don't know about the release of the song. It was the company's decision-making, and the manager didn't tell me. this matter."

"Sit down first."

Fang Xing pointed to the chairs in the conference room.

After sitting down, Shen Xiyin sighed and said: "Actually, my contract is about to expire, and Chaoyin Culture wanted to sign with me before. My company also wanted to renew the contract. I didn't make up my mind, so neither side agreed.

"After the limited group disbanded, Huanyue kept talking to me about contract renewal, but never arranged work for me.

"This time, "Let's Sing" was the one that Mr. Tong found me, although the contract was signed by the manager.

"I know Teacher Fang's rules, singers don't get paid, I dare not ask for the release of "Unfortunately".

"I swear, it really wasn't my idea, I swear."

She held up three fingers with a serious expression on her face.

Fang Xing smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, the cooperation plan sent by Huanyue does not conform to my regular cooperation plan.

"So, I originally wanted to ask you, is Huanxie making an offer, waiting for us to counter-offer?"

Shen Xiyin frowned, and said puzzledly, "I...don't know either. During the two years I was in the limited group, Huanyue basically didn't participate in the work, and just got a share.

"So, I don't know much about the situation of joy now."

Fang Xing looked at her, and asked again: "Then do you want to release "Unfortunately No If"?"

Shen Xiyin nodded vigorously: "Of course I want to, how could I not want to, but I don't dare to expect extravagantly, I will follow the teacher's arrangement."

Qiao Yinghong interjected a possibility: "Boss, Huanxi may also be forcing her to renew her contract and intentionally punish her."

Fang Xing also asked curiously: "Are you sure it's okay if you don't renew the contract with Huanyu?"

usually.

The brokerage company will more or less have some black information about the artist, and when the contract expires, these black materials will be a strong weight.

In other words, if Huanyu wants to force Shen Xiyin to renew her contract, but Shen Xiyin refuses to agree, the two parties will tear their skins apart, and Huanyu may directly destroy her.

Shen Xiyin nodded affirmatively, "I really don't really want to renew the contract."

In fact, Fang Xing still knows a little about a brokerage company like Shen Xiyin.

Although Shen Xiyin's popularity was pretty good during the two years in the limited group, she didn't actually make much money.

An artist like her who debuted as a trainee usually makes an appointment with the broker of the original brokerage company, and the share ratio is [-] to [-].

In other words, Shen Xiyin could only get 20%.

However, the money she actually got was far less than 20%.

Because of her announcement fee during the limited group period, Chaoyin Culture has to shave more than half of it first, and then her original company will shave 80%, and deduct operating expenses, etc. The money that actually goes to her is actually not much.

Of course, it also depends on who she compares with. In terms of her income, she can actually live a very rich life.

Fang Xing asked curiously: "I don't want to renew the contract, and I don't want to sign Chaoyin Culture, so I have found a new home?"

Shen Xiyin froze for a moment, and replied: "No, but President Tong talked with me and asked about my contract. After the limited group was disbanded, the first S-level resource was given by President Tong. I trust her more. "

Fang Xing nodded and said: "I probably understand the matter, you don't need to be too nervous, if you have nothing to do, go back first."

Shen Xiyin bowed and apologized several times before being sent out by Qiao Yinghong.

After sending the person away, Qiao Yinghong returned to the conference room and asked, "Does the boss want to sign Shen Xiyin?"

Fang Xing thought about it, and said, "I haven't figured it out yet. Our studio is too small to bring in so many artists. Even if we expand the scale, we won't be able to develop it in two or three years."

In fact.

Lu Ming and Guo Keda were indeed signed under the name of the studio, but in fact the studio did not have a management team to lead them.

Guo Keda basically calls on himself, and sometimes brings Lu Ming and Shao Yu with him.

Now the studio team is too busy with the song business.

This is on the premise that Fang Xing usually does not receive notifications.

If you want to sign Shen Xiyin, it is impossible to just sign the record contract.

If she signed a brokerage contract, she would have to form a brokerage team to lead her, otherwise, even if she had no objections at the beginning, she would be dissatisfied after a long time.

After all, Shen Xiyin is not just a singer, she is a debut artist in an idol group, it is impossible to only sing, but also take other jobs, without a management team to take her, it is impossible.

Moreover, entertainment companies, brokerage companies, film and television companies, and record companies have very different businesses.

For example, Songshi Records is a record company that mainly produces music. The company basically only signs singers, and the jobs for singers are basically related to singing.

Feifan Entertainment is a production company specializing in the production of variety shows.

Previously, Feifan Entertainment even "sold" the agency appointments of artists who debuted in talent shows to Chaoyin Culture.

Like Jade Bird Media and Ruide Film and Television, they are film and television companies. Even if they sign artists, they only sign actors and directors.

Chaoyin Culture, on the other hand, is more like a brokerage company that specializes in running idol groups. They take any job, commercial performances, variety shows, film and television, as long as they can make money, they take any job.

A company needs to find its position, and it is impossible to do everything.

Fang Xing prefers to do content rather than managing artists.

Therefore, Shen Xiyin was not offered an olive branch.

The main thing is that I don't intend to spend my energy on managing artists.

……

On Thursday, two days before the recording of the second chorus of "Let's Sing".

Tong Fei used her personal mobile phone to make an appointment for a meal.

Fang Xing was not busy, so he agreed to have dinner with her.

During the meal, we first chatted about the production of the program.

"Besides you, me and Penguin Video, did you invest in other capital?" Fang Xing asked seemingly casually.

Tong Fei laughed and said, "I know what you mean. But don't worry, there are no big investors except the three of us.

"The investment of individual small companies is actually to send singers to show their faces. This situation is very common, and they will not intervene in the production of the show.

"As for Tan Zhiguan, it's Donghai Satellite TV's relationship. After all, our program is going to be broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV. We can't refuse this matter."

Fang Xing didn't pay much attention to it at first, but instead asked, "Boss Tong asked me out for dinner today, just to talk about the show?"

Tong Fei smiled heartily and said, "Really, do you have to say everything so clearly? You can't just have a meal."

"I'm so free, it's fine to just eat, but a busy person like Mr. Tong can't just eat." Fang Xing already knew this woman very well, and knew that she definitely didn't just want to eat.

Tong Fei folded her hands and rested her chin, and said: "The popularity of Fluorescent Girls has begun to decline, and "Chinese Language" is about to come down from the hit list.

"When will Mr. Fang arrange another song for them?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Tong is here to invite the song. I can't even prepare the song for myself, so there is no time."

Tong Fei didn't believe it, and teased: "I don't believe it, you always say that there are no songs, but you can come up with new songs every time."

"Then I'll arrange Songshi's music production department to customize a song for President Tong?" Fang Xing suggested.

Nowadays, the songs of many idol groups are customized in cooperation with record companies and well-known producers.

If Tong Fei really wanted to find a record company to customize a song, she didn't need to invite Fang Xing to dinner.

She shook her head and said, "I don't want theirs, but I want yours."

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "They sang waste."

Tong Fei raised her brows and said, "I still said I didn't have it, it's because I have something good and refused to show it."

Fang Xing smiled and said nothing.

Tong Fei also knew that in the limited group of fluorescent girls, not many could sing.

Idol groups are basically at this level.

Besides, since the song was sung by the fluorescent girl, Tong Fei naturally made a lot of money, but why?

Tong Fei understood this truth, and did not continue to press, but asked: "The contract between Shen Xiyin and the original brokerage company is about to expire, and Xiyin said that you have talked about it.

"Do you want to sign Shen Xiyin? If you want to sign, I won't grab it.

"Even if you grab it, you can't grab it. You just need to give her a song, and she will follow you with her eyes closed."

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "I want to concentrate on making content, and don't plan to waste energy on managing artists."

Tong Fei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "If you don't want to waste your energy, you can leave it to me. Why don't we cooperate to open a brokerage company.

"Re-register with a brokerage company, we will form a partnership, sign Shen Xiyin, I will be in charge of organizing a team to guide her, and you will be in charge of the content.

"Fluorescent girls can also sign with this agency, so you don't have to hide your secrets, what do you think?"

When Fang Xing heard about this plan, he was very interested.

Feifan Entertainment's company is very large. If Tong Fei is in charge of running the brokerage company, there is indeed no problem.

Moreover, she is already running Fluorescent Girls, and the framework of a brokerage company has been established.

"How does Boss Tong plan to distribute the shares?" Fang Xing asked.

"50% each, my team is responsible for the operation, and you have the right to veto. The brokerage company we share is only responsible for managing artists and not for other things." Tong Fei replied.

What this means is that the copyrights of songs, TV dramas and other content are not placed in this brokerage company.

Fang Xing nodded slowly and said, "This plan is possible."

In the entertainment industry, the larger the company, the more shareholders it has, and it is normal to operate as a joint venture.

Fang Xing wants to concentrate on content, so he definitely doesn't have so much energy to manage the company.

From the current point of view, Tong Fei is very sincere and can cooperate.

If you cooperate happily, you can become a long-term partner, which will be a win-win situation.

If the cooperation is not pleasant, that's another story.

As long as the copyrights of songs and film and television dramas are placed in Ark Culture, the foundation is solid.

In other respects, you can cooperate freely.
