Chapter 81 How to choose
Yin Xiaoshuang flew to Shenzhen in person, got off the plane and went straight to the teahouse. In the novel, it can be called a model of "visiting the thatched cottage three times".

After seeing Su Zhe, she laughed out loud and almost shouted, "I take Su Zhe like a fish in water" and stretched out her arms to him.

"Mr. Yin, why are you here in person? I'm so flattered!"

As if Su Zhe didn't remember that Puppet Entertainment had hacked him, he enthusiastically gave Yin Xiaoshuang... a handshake.

Yin Xiaoshuang opened his arms, but Su Zhe grabbed his hand and shook it. He felt a little embarrassed and laughed:

"You don't look like an insider, you are a bit shy."

Su Zhe: Haha, you old cow, what are you thinking of?

The two sat down and after chatting for a while, Su Zhe asked directly:
"Mr. Yin, I won't beat around the bush anymore. What conditions does your company plan to give me?"

Yin Xiaoshuang laughed and asked:
"Before I tell you the conditions, let me ask you a question: Why are you trying your best to increase your share?"

For what?
What did you say it was for?
Su Zhe thought she was going to teach him a lesson, saying something about "people eat three meals and sleep on a bed, it doesn't matter how much money they have", so he almost walked away.

Yin Xiaoshuang saw that he frowned slightly, but did not leave. He still listened, admiring in his heart, and said seriously:
"Isn't it just for money when you increase your share? But how much money can you make from your hard work writing songs? If you want to make money, you have to understand how capital works."

Su Zhe raised his eyebrows. He was a wage earner in his previous life. He only heard about capital matters but didn't understand them. He said with interest:

"Mr. Yin, please tell me carefully."

"As the largest idol factory in the country, Idol Entertainment is seeking to go public. Major capitals are very optimistic about it. As long as you sign a contract, you will have the right to subscribe and become a star shareholder."

She cited the grand occasion when the long-established entertainment company Star Entertainment went public, and many stars became billionaires in one fell swoop.

At that time, it was difficult for top stars to earn more than [-] million a year. This news was an earthquake in the industry.

"Doudu has received Series B investment from Penguin, with a valuation of 20 billion. After you join, we will do our best to build you and make you a superstar, and then go public to push up the market value! By then, all you have subscribed for will be The stock alone is worth at least a billion!”

It's hard to imagine that Yin Xiaoshuang came to Su Zhe to sign a contract. He didn't bring contracts for TV dramas or movies, but he brought asset appraisals, financing information, etc.

This made Su Zhe’s lawyer energetic:

Hey, I originally thought it was a small job in the entertainment industry, but I didn’t expect it actually involves capital operations!

He looked at the information intently. Su Zhe was very calm and asked seriously:

"Listing is just a painting. Let's talk about the actual situation first: How much is the share?"

Yin Xiaoshuang smiled and said:
"[-]/[-] is to boost the confidence of investors and stockholders, but before listing, if the company earns [-]% of your profits, it can be converted into shares of equal value and given to you."

In this way, it is equivalent to giving Su Zhe the original stock full of imagination without asking for any profit, and just betting that he can become a big hit, help the company successfully go public, and continue to increase the market value.

I have to say that Su Zhe was tempted.

"It is impossible for top stars to get this kind of contract." Yin Xiaoshuang said confidently, "But I believe in you, and I bet you to become a superstar! You have both good looks, talent, and luck. If you don't become popular, who will be popular?!"

Especially luck, Yin Xiaoshuang felt convinced after studying it carefully.

Su Zhe didn't expect that besides himself, the person who had the most confidence in his stardom would be Yin Xiaoshuang.

"I will seriously consider it."

Although Su Zhe was moved, he still did not agree impulsively.

Yin Xiaoshuang did not push her, started chatting, and casually commented on her colleagues:
"The terms Starlight Glossy gives you are good, right? Because they don't intend to make money from you. Their gameplay is very simple, but it may not be beneficial to you -"

She casually cited a few examples and concluded that after Starlight signed Su Zhe, she would use his current popularity to forcefully promote her direct artists.

——You want Su Zhe to participate in your variety show?Yes, you must bring artists from the same company.

——You want Su Zhe to play the leading role in a TV series?Yes, the heroine will also give us company.Otherwise, there is no need to discuss it!

"To put it bluntly, they just want to suck your blood." Yin Xiaoshuang was very sure.

Su Zhe was silent for a moment and asked:

"Mr. Yin, what about Bright Entertainment?"

"They really want to flatter you, but they squeeze artists very hard. If you want to sacrifice your health and make a lot of money, it's a good choice."

Yin Xiaoshuang was halfway through her praise when she changed her voice and quietly reminded:

"But they like behind-the-scenes deals and yin-yang contracts. Remuneration and income are not transparent. You can get [-]% on the contract, but in fact, it's good to get half."

Su Zhe frowned, preferring to go it alone.

Yin Xiaoshuang seemed to understand what he was thinking, or in other words, celebrities who suddenly became popular would have the idea of ​​​​going it alone.

She advised in advance:
"Of course you can get them all if you do it yourself, but don't think that after the first two songs became a hit, you think every one of them will be a hit."

She took out a piece of statistical data and handed it to Su Zhe, which analyzed the purchase data of Su Zhe's first two songs.

For "Like Me", fans repeatedly purchased more than 500 million copies, while passers-by purchased about 300 million copies.

For "Xiaochou", the number of fans purchased dropped to more than 400 million copies, but the number of passers-by purchased more than 600 million copies.

"From "Like Me" to "Easy to Sorrow", your number of fans has been rising. Why has the purchasing power of your fans dropped?"

Yin Xiaoshuang analyzed for Su Zhe:

"Fans' money is like leeks. It can be cut repeatedly, but it takes time to grow. As you continue to release new songs, even if the quality is very high, the support of fans will continue to decline because they are powerless."

"Relying on passers-by? The paid music circle in China is too small. Singers usually post for free to gain popularity and charge for concerts." Yin Xiaoshuang simply concluded, "Let's watch "A Diao". Fan purchases will drop to less than 100 million, and then Including 500 million passers-by, the final sales volume is 700 million."

"It's better to attend a commercial performance than to work hard on a song. Why bother? Sign up to find a partner, and I will help you become a king and a billionaire!"

Yin Xiaoshuang left, but left a huge temptation for Su Zhe.

"Forget it, let's look at the sales of "A Diao" first!"

Su Zhe decided to put it off a little longer. Even if he signed the contract now, he still had to finish recording "The Birth of Music", so what was the rush?
But the conditions given by the music platform made it difficult for him——

If you don’t sign an exclusive deal, it will cost too much money; if you sign an exclusive deal, you will lose sales and look bad.

Because there are so many music platforms, it is impossible for normal people to download them all, and they will only keep one or two commonly used ones.

When users want to listen to different songs, they have to switch repeatedly between major music platforms, and even have to download new software and recharge and pay, which is very annoying.

In Su Zhe's previous life, he felt uncomfortable when his favorite singer was removed from the music software he commonly used in order to pay for the signing fee——

Isn’t this causing trouble to us genuine users!

Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. He doesn't want his fans and listeners to scold him in their hearts.

But being non-exclusive would cost him tens of millions in revenue, and he was reluctant to part with it.

"How should I choose?"

Is there any good thing in the world that “needs and wants”?Life is full of different choices. Each choice makes sense, but different choices add up to shape our different lives...

Wait, not necessarily!
Su Zhe suddenly had an inspiration!
