China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 95 I really want this man
what?
Can every song reach the same level?
Upon hearing this, Liang Kangni, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for an instant. If Yuan Tao was here at this time, he would definitely be very happy.

It's a pity that Yuan Tao can't see it.

If someone else said this, Liang Kangni's first reaction would definitely be disbelief.

But Lu Yuan was different.

How popular is his self-titled album?
Except for Huayi Music, all record companies are jealous.

In October, Chiling Ringtone was downloaded more than 10 million times in a single month!

950*2=1900 million!
According to industry practice, Huayi Music can get at least 700 million RMB in ringtones. Even if it is split 350-[-] with the singer, it will still be about [-] million RMB.

For one song in a month, the wireless terminal earns 350 million yuan. If the time is extended, even if the subsequent income decreases, there will still be more than 1000 million yuan in revenue in a year.

And this is just a song.

The ten songs in Lu Yuan's first album performed equally well on the wireless end.

Although a single song cannot compare to "Chi Ling", the ten songs added together can reach 3000 to [-] million a year.

In addition, Lu Yuan's album shipments reached 160 million, with cumulative sales of 4500 million.

Calculated based on the profit of 10 yuan per record, the income from the record part is at least 1600 million. If it is divided 800 and [-], the record company can earn [-] million.

In the era of digital music, it’s considered good if you don’t lose money by releasing records.

Earn 800 million from an album?
Other record companies are crying.

In addition to records and ringtones, Lu Yuan also earns the bulk of his income from commercial performances. At this time, Lu Yuan's commercial performance quotation has reached 60.

Participate in 50 games a year and earn 3000 million yuan.

Finally, there is income from endorsements.

So far, although Lu Yuan has only received two endorsements, there is already a long queue of brands that want him to endorse.

Among them are some international brands.

Why can Lu Yuan's new drama attract so much sponsorship?

Those brands spend hundreds of thousands purely just to leave a bit of love. Even if Lu Yuan's new drama fails, they can still get the favor back.

If the show becomes popular, it will be a pure profit.

According to the data collected from Universal, if Lu Yuan relaxes the restrictions, the annual endorsement fee will be tens of millions.

Ring tones, records, commercial performances, and endorsements, just these four items, Lu Yuan alone has been responsible for an output value of hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion.

Counting only profits, there are tens of millions in income.

Liang Kangni actually wanted to sign Lu Yuan's Chinese record deal. If she could lure Lu Yuan over, she would be confident in reorganizing Universal Music's Asian division.

But she has very few leverage.

If the share is too much, the headquarters will definitely not agree. If the share is too little, Lu Yuan will not agree either.

After a while, Liang Kangni recovered his thoughts.

"you sure?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "Recently, I have been filming in Shanghai. After the show in the evening, I will record the album on Panyu Road."

"If Mr. Liang is free, you can go to the site and take a look."

"Definitely!" As he said that, Liang Kangni turned and looked at the iPod on the table: "Can I take this back?"

At this moment, Liang Kangni has made up his mind to help Lu Yuan with all his strength and must win Lu Yuan's English recording contract.

Then, use this as a link to lure Lu Yuan to the world!

"of course can."

Lu Yuan is not worried about the leakage of new songs at all. Not to mention the relationship with his uncle, Universal cannot escape the bad reputation of 'stealing'.

In the European and American music scene, the copyright market is very complete, and the tolerance for plagiarism is relatively low.

If you are an underground singer or an unknown singer, you may not pay much attention to these, but famous singers and major record companies attach great importance to originality.

In the European and American circles, plagiarism is a very bad behavior.

If found out, you will face huge fines. (This is the key point. Europe and the United States have also learned from this, which is called sampling, paying copyright fees, and using it legally)
Alan Walker, who composed the electronic music song "Faded", was almost blackmailed because of a suspected hiring of a gunman.

This is true for anyone suspected of hiring a gunman, let alone plagiarism and theft.What's more, in addition to copyright, Lu Yuan also has recording studio videos as evidence.

If Universal Music dared to steal his work, America's lawyers would be happy to take on such a lawsuit.

……

……

One p.m.

As soon as Liang returned to the company, she immediately contacted her immediate boss’s immediate boss, Max Hall, Universal Music Group’s executive vice president and head of Asia operations.

After a brief exchange, Liang Kangni did not report Lu Yuan's request, and then followed Max's request and sent three songs over first.

About half an hour later, Max called.

"Connie, tell me quickly, whose song is this?"

"Max." Feeling the eagerness there, Liang Kangni smiled slightly: "Actually, you have heard of this person. He is the most popular singer in China this year - Lu Yuan."

"It's him??"

Max was surprised: "Are you sure?"

"of course."

"He gave it to me personally."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Max ordered directly: "Hurry up and sign him, Connie. These three songs are great and have the potential to hit the Billboard singles chart!"

"Oh my god, come on, do it."

Liang Kangni smiled bitterly and said: "Max, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do it."

Immediately, she explained Lu Yuan's requirements one by one.

"No!"

As soon as he heard the outrageous split, Max immediately jumped up and lost his voice.

"It's impossible!"

"We at Universal will never sign such a contract with a newcomer."

Seeing that Max seemed determined not to sign, Liang Kangni was not anxious, but threw out another weight.

"Max, actually, Lu Yuan has another identity."

"His uncle is a senior executive of SMG, and Lu Changhai is his uncle. This man is in his prime and has a good reputation. He may be able to rise higher in the future."

"This time, when Lu Yuan asked me to meet, he took the SMG route."

On the other side of the phone, Max was silent for a while. He was not the kind of foreigner who didn't understand China at all. If he didn't understand China at all, he wouldn't hold the position of head of Asian business.

After a long time, Max's voice came from the receiver again.

"Connie, Lu's conditions are too harsh and I can't agree to it."

"The maximum sales royalty can only be 27%, and the tour box office share is 25%. Commercial performances and announcements are still [-]%, and the band can be provided by us."

“[-]% of the copyright management fee is the minimum limit, it cannot be lower!”

"of course."

"As a price, we can give him a certain degree of autonomy. We can sign two to three album contracts. According to regulations, Lu Yuan needs to release at least one album every two years."

"If the issuance terms are not completed within the specified period, the contract will automatically be extended to the next contract year."

"In addition, we can arrange announcements and commercial performances without compulsory arrangements."

"But for a tour concert, a minimum of 50 concerts must be signed, and the specific time of the tour can be negotiated by both parties."

"Finally, if you can sign an endorsement contract, it's best to sign it. In this regard, we can make a concession, as long as [-]%."

"Well."

"In this way, in three days, I will come over in person and we will talk to him together."
