China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 11 My new song, please give me some advice? (Signed)

[Yuan Tao: Xiaoyuan, I'll be there in about 5 minutes. 】

About 10 minutes later, Lu Yuan received a text message from Yuan Tao. He thought about it and sent a text message back.

[Mr. Yuan, I’m waiting for you at the executive lounge bar. 】

【it is good. 】

drop!
drop!
Yuan Tao replied almost instantly.

Lu Yuan changed into a slightly more formal casual outfit, wearing a white shirt and jeans, and arrived at the executive lounge on the eighth floor.

He didn't wear a mask or anything. The Regency Hotel is a five-star hotel after all, and the privacy work is pretty good, and the executive lounge is not open to the public.

Exclusively for Executive Suite guests.

Most of the guests who can afford to stay in executive suites have a certain net worth. Even if they are star-struck, they are not too fanatical.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the lounge was very deserted. Except for a few service staff, there were no other guests at all.

"what!"

A baby-faced waitress couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Lu Yuan coming. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time.

However, even so, it still attracted the attention of the colleagues next to him.

"Lili, what are you doing? Are you so surprised?"

The baby-faced girl patted Bolan's chest and grabbed her colleague's arm excitedly.

"Fangfang, it's Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"what?"

The waitress next to me quickly looked around.

"Lu Yuan, where is Lu Yuan?"

"There, there!"

The baby-faced girl jumped up and pointed in the direction of the bar. What a coincidence, from where they were, only their backs could be seen.

"Is that Lu Yuan?"

The baby-faced girl nodded vigorously: "Well, I will never, never admit my mistake!"

As she spoke, she sighed with a tangled tone.

"Oh, I really want to go there and get an autograph!!"

"Are you crazy?"

Fangfang quickly grabbed her best friend who was about to make a move: "The manager saw it, do you still want to work?"

Although Fangfang said this, she also wanted to go over to take photos and sign autographs.

Unfortunately, according to hotel regulations, disturbing guests is not allowed.

Their hotel is the only five-star hotel near the Wenguang Building. Many celebrities will stay here when they go to Hunan Satellite TV to record programs.

Therefore, the hotel's rules are very strict. Once discovered, you will be expelled directly.

The job in the executive lounge is easy and the income is not low. Even if you are star-struck, you have to restrain yourself.

Idols or bread, who is more important?
Those who couldn't tell the difference would have left long ago.

Not long after, Yuan Tao stepped into the executive lounge and saw Lu Yuan sitting at the bar. He walked over with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoyuan!"

"Mr. Yuan, hello!"

Lu Yuan took the initiative to greet him, the two shook hands, and then asked the waiter for a private room that was more private.

On the other side, two girls saw Lu Yuan and Yuan Tao chatting happily, gossiping with curiosity on their faces.

"Fangfang, who do you think that man is?"

"I don't know, but I guess he must be the boss of some record company. Yuan Bao is so powerful, even if he doesn't win the championship, people are still rushing to get it."

"Oh, I really want to know Yuanbao's new owner!"

"Stop being a nymphomaniac, we have guests."

In the private room, Yuan Tao and Lu Yuan chatted for a few words. Seeing that the heat was almost ready, they asked directly.

"Xiaoyuan, how are you feeling today?"

"much better."

Lu Yuan smiled. Yuan Tao's meaning couldn't be more straightforward. The implication was that he was asking him if he could make a decision.

Thinking of this, he made a joke.

"However, seeing Mr. Yuan coming, I became excited again."

"Haha." It was a joke, but Yuan Tao could still hear it, and he made the bid again.

"Xiaoyuan, come to Huayi!"

"We need singers like you who are good at singing, composing and image. Huayi can promise that as long as we sign the contract, we will invest more than 2000 million yuan in promotion resources in the next two years."

"We are confident that we can turn you into a mainland director, Jay Chou!"

"Of course, these are all extra and do not include the conditions I issued last night. If you are worried, you can also write it into the contract."

"As for a lawyer, you can either find one yourself, or you can borrow one from the law firm we cooperate with at Huayi."

"They are a big firm, very professional and will not favor us."

"Mr. Yuan, first of all, thank you very much for your consideration!"

Although Lu Yuan's tone was sincere, Yuan Tao couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he heard these words.

This sentence is a typical turning sentence pattern, and the following words are the key point.

Has Lu Yuan already signed the contract?
Which company is it that moves so fast?
"It's just that, Mr. Yuan, I personally am not very interested in money, promotion resources, etc. What I value is freedom!"

"Don't worry about that!"

Hearing this, Yuan Tao quickly confirmed: "As long as you are willing to come to Huayi, we will give you absolute and sufficient freedom!"

"Is it okay to just sign a contract?"

Lu Yuan asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

An artist can have many contracts. Generally speaking, artist contracts can be roughly divided into two categories, full contracts and sub-contracts.

In the former, all matters are handed over to the brokerage company.

Endorsements, commercial performances, film and television, variety shows, record contracts, etc., everything you can think of and unexpected, and everything related to income, are all handled by the brokerage company.

Once a full contract is signed, the agency has the right to interfere with matters such as love, personal image, dressing style, hair length, etc.

Subcontracting refers to splitting the contract into different contracts and signing contracts with two or more companies respectively.

For example, Li Yuchun, her manager is with Tianyu, and her record contract is with Taihe Maitian.

The distribution contract mentioned by Lu Yuan refers to a separate record distribution contract, and the record production part is not handed over to Huayi Music.

In other words, by just signing a record distribution contract, Huayi will not get the copyright of the songs. To be more precise, Huayi will not get the property rights of the works.

For a record company, the most important asset is not the singers (those who are king-level are not counted), but the music library, or copyright library.

Why Huayou is willing to spend a lot of money to acquire record companies such as Feile and Birdman Art? It is their copyright library that they value.

"This one……"

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Tao said with a troubled expression.

"Xiaoyuan, you should know that the majority shareholder of our Huayi Music is Hurray."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I can't make the decision on the conditions you put forward. The most important part of Huayou is the copyright."

In fact, Yuan Tao is telling lies.

It is true that Huayou is the major shareholder, but as Yuan Tao is the general manager + founder of Huayi Music, Huayou has given him a lot of autonomy.

Troops and horses move ahead without food and forage.

Before setting off, Yuan Tao had of course inquired about Lu Yuan's information. The biggest conflict between Lu Yuan and Xiangnan Satellite TV was the contract issue.

One party insisted on signing the full contract, while the other insisted on signing a split contract. This was the reason why Tianyu and Lu Yuan broke up.

Understanding this, the bottom line given by Huayou is actually very loose. It is not unacceptable to subcontract. You can sign as much as you can.

The most important thing is Lu Yuan.

Huayou is a listed company and values ​​influence more.

What does it mean if you have a nationally popular artist like Jay Chou under your banner?
This shows that Huayou’s large-scale entertainment transformation plan has been successful!
If so, wouldn't the stock skyrocket?

This is what Huayou values.

Seeing Yuan Tao's dilemma, Lu Yuan smiled slightly and took out an MP3 player from his pocket in a hurry.

"Mr. Yuan, to tell you the truth, my first album has been basically produced."

"You are an old-timer in the music industry. Do you give me some advice on my masterpiece?"

Suddenly hearing the news, Yuan Tao couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Good guy, this guy turned out to be prepared.

A little fox!
After a while, Yuan Tao smiled heartily and said,

"Okay, then let me appreciate the masterpiece of genius."

After taking the headphones and pressing the play button, the music from behind slowly started playing.
