Chapter 20 Signing a Contract
Bai Shuning didn't understand the tone of Lin Yafang's words. She thought about it seriously and said:
"Give Gu Jingxuan an A."

Lin Yafang's agency has a total of four signing levels.

The contract signing levels are tailored to the different levels of popularity of the stars under the company.

It is divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C.

C-level contracts are given to third-tier stars, with a 20:80 split.

Company eight, signed star two.

Level B contracts are contracts signed with second-tier stars, and the profit sharing is 40% to 60%.

There are six companies and four signed stars.

A-level contracts are for first-line stars, and the profit sharing is 30:70.

Company three, signed star seven.

First-tier stars get more shares because they basically do not need resources from the company.

Advertisers, directors and the like will come to us on their own initiative.

There is no need to rely on an agency to arrange it.

Bai Shuning asked Lin Yafang to sign an A-level contract with Gu Jingxuan in the hope of giving Gu Jingxuan the biggest share of the profits.

As for why Gu Jingxuan was not given an S-level contract, it is because Gu Jingxuan’s current popularity is not enough for an S-level contract.

S-level contracts belong to top-tier stars.

The contract is not calculated based on profit sharing.

An S-level contract is one in which the star signs his or her own studio, with the agency investing in it.

S-level contracts are also very free, and you can make your own decisions on any arrangements.

The three types of contracts A, B, and C are different.

For these three types of signed stars, if they encounter an announcement they don’t want to accept, they cannot refuse it.

If the agency asks you to go, you have to go.

Lin Yafang was silent for a while and said:
"A signature? I don't think that kid will agree to it."

Bai Shuning asked doubtfully:

"how do you know?"

"You'll know when you ask him later."

Lin Yafang said with a smile and hung up Bai Shuning's phone.

Bai Shuning looked at the hung up call and murmured:

"disagree?"

"Probably not?"

"He hasn't even officially debuted yet, and doesn't have that many fans, so how could he disagree?"

As he spoke, Bai Shuning walked towards the music room.

Gu Jingxuan was sitting alone in the music room.

Gu Jingxuan is thinking about what song to write as he is going to attend Shaoxing’s city theme song event next week.

The city theme song of Shaoxing should be based on the characteristics of the city of Shaoxing.

After thinking for a while, Gu Jingxuan began to search for the characteristics of Shaoxing.

As soon as I clicked on the search, the characteristics of Shaoxing popped up.

"So that's it..."

"I see!"

Gu Jingxuan thought of a song in his mind.

I thought of the song, and the lyrics and the music came quickly.

Halfway through writing the song, there was a knock on the door of the music room.

Gu Jingxuan stopped and said:
"Enter."

Bai Shuning pushed the door and walked in.

"I'm not bothering you, am I?"

"No, I've already thought of the song to sing, and now I'm writing the lyrics and music."

"So fast!?"

"Fortunately, the city theme song is equivalent to a set topic, which is easier than participating in "China's Best Song" without a set topic."

"That's true. By the way, I just talked to my mom and asked her to sign you with her agency and give you an A-grade signature."

"A?"

Gu Jingxuan looked at Bai Shuning in confusion.

"Well, the A sign means..."

Bai Shuning explained the standards and profits of A-level contracts.

After saying that, Bai Shuning looked at Gu Jingxuan, waiting for his answer.

"forget it."

Gu Jingxuan shook his head.

A-level contract is very good. According to my current traffic, I can get an A-level contract, which is a good deal for me. But Gu Jingxuan didn't know this.

Just because you don’t have much traffic now doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future.

Those songs and scripts in my mind would be very restrictive if I signed with an agency.

"So what are your plans?"

Bai Shuning asked curiously.

I didn’t expect that what my mother said was right. Gu Jingxuan would not sign the contract.

But what will Gu Jingxuan do if he doesn’t sign the contract?

Is it possible that I will never sign a contract and be a music creator for the rest of my life?

Given Gu Jingxuan's conditions, it would be a shame for him to become a music composer.

He has a good figure, is handsome, and his singing skills are much better than many singers. He can definitely debut as a singer.

"I want to set up my own studio, but I don't have the conditions to do so right now, so I'll talk about it later."

Gu Jingxuan said.

Bai Shuning heard this and hesitated for a moment:
"How about you sign my studio?"

"My studio is quite flexible. If you want to accept the notice, you can accept it. If you don't want to accept it, you don't have to."

"The copyright of the songs you wrote also belongs entirely to you. You can make the decision yourself!"

"As for the split...how about 80-20?"

"I'm two, you're eight?"

Bai Shuning said this very seriously, and it didn't seem like she was joking.

Gu Jingxuan stared at Bai Shuning, thought for a moment, and said:
"I can accept the first part, but let's change the split to 50-50."

"I can't let you suffer."

Gu Jingxuan could see that Bai Shuning was helping him.

Such good signing conditions just happened to be in line with what Gu Jingxuan had in mind.

But he couldn't take advantage of Bai Shuning for nothing.

So, a 50-50 split was proposed.

"Fifty-five? Are you sure?"

Bai Shuning asked back.

"Okay, let's go with 50-50!"

Gu Jingxuan insisted.

"Okay, then I'll have someone draw up a contract."

Bai Shuning said this and took out his phone.

"Then I won't bother you anymore, just continue with your work."

Gu Jingxuan nodded.

After Bai Shuning left, Gu Jingxuan continued to work on the song.

After Bai Shuning went out, she first called her mother Lin Yafang.

"Mom, you're right. He doesn't want to sign the contract."

"Yeah, I knew it was like that!"

"Mom, how did you know? Did you talk to him before?"

"No, you didn't even give me his contact information, so how could I contact him? I found out by looking at Gu Jingxuan's profile."

Lin Yafang said.

"You see? How did you see it?"

Bai Shuning asked in confusion.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yafang looked down at Gu Jingxuan's information on the table and said:
"Gu Jingxuan graduated from the Magic City Conservatory of Music, and according to the information, he is a top student."

"Plus the song Gu Jingxuan created today, his talent is obvious to all."

"I think based on his talent, Gu Jingxuan defines him as a talented star in his mind."

"If he writes a lot of songs in the future and signs an A-level contract, it will be bad for him."

"So, Gu Jingxuan will not sign a contract with our company."

After listening to her mother's analysis, Bai Shuning finally understood.

"Since he won't sign, what are his own plans?"

Lin Yafang asked curiously.

"Forehead……"

"He originally wanted to open his own studio, but he said he wasn't ready for it yet."

"So...so, I signed him to my studio."

Bai Shuning said.
