Entertainment Achiever System

Since the guarantee deposit is not refundable, this is one of the unspoken rules of the industry, naturally Brother Xiaosa will not waste his time talking, nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the guarantee deposit for distribution rights, what about their other conditions?"

Gao Yan smiled, but shook his head with a little displeasure and said: "They are willing to be responsible for all the specific work of burning, transporting, putting on shelves, publishing, charting... and so on, and then they will share 40% of the net profit of each record. %."

"40% net profit?"

Someone scratched his chin in confusion, "Brother Yan, how much money can a record make? For example, let's sell 35 copies of my record. If 300 million copies are sold, what is the profit? ?”

"Wait, I'll give you a rough calculation now!"

Gao Yan himself didn't think about this problem, so he turned around and started calculating on the computer.

As he calculated, he murmured: "Because the content of our record is all done by ourselves, and there is no need for the distribution company to pay for it. They only need to bear the cost of recording, transportation, advertising, etc. Money, even if the recording cost of each record is 3 yuan, the total wholesale price is about 25 yuan, let’s say 23, then if there are 300 million copies, the total price of the record is 6000 million..."

Gao Yan thought for a while and then said: "The state stipulates that the tax rate for records is levied at 5%, so the tax is 300 million, and then, for our record, the advertising fee is the biggest spending item. At least 500 to 1000 million yuan should be removed for one item, let’s say 800 million yuan, so the total net profit will be around 4500 million yuan!”

"Fuck, I thought it was [-] million!"

Brother Xiaosa is really speechless, I can't believe it!Because in his original idea, he should actually earn at least 5000 million yuan!

However, after Gao Yan's calculation, he was really shocked, really shocked.

You know, the main content of his record is all done by himself!He didn't spend money to collect songs, so he didn't need to pay the songwriter's copyright share; he didn't hire producers, bands, sound engineers, arrangers, and mixes, so he lost a lot of expenses. In the end, his mv will also be Spend your own money to ask the director to complete it, which will save a lot of expenses for the distribution company.

However, even if he is so frugal, the money he can get is only 4500 million * 60% = 'million!

Fuck, with the scary sales of 300 million copies, a record company (he is equivalent to it) can only get 'million soft sister coins?

So in comparison, wouldn't it be even worse for those singers who can only sell 2 to 30 copies, and they can only get 15% of the royalties for a record?You can earn 0!

"Isn't this too little? How could it be possible to only have 60% of the share?"

After Brother Xiaosa recovered a little bit of reason from the shock, his face collapsed immediately, and he said seriously: "Brother Yan, tell them directly, this is impossible!"

He patted the mattress, and cursed angrily: "M, these people are too shameless, they are just a channel dealer, and they dare to speak like a lion like this, I really thought that I would leave them. If I, Tang Xiaosa, can't find a recording company, can't I find a sales channel? Pooh! I will never agree."

At this moment, someone was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Damn, it's the Internet age, and online shopping has gradually become popular. How dare you charge such shameless prices indiscriminately? Are you really inseparable from traditional distributors like you?

At this moment, he really wanted to decide to cooperate with Dangdang, a platform provider that specializes in books and records on the Internet, and see those bastards who can't die.

"Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about?"

Gao Yan patted Brother Xiaosa on the shoulder indifferently, shook his head and said, "Isn't this just an offer? As the saying goes, the price is asked by the sky, and the money will be paid back on the ground. Although their initial offer was a bit high, I believe that after negotiations, Surely they would be willing to accept a [-]% pure profit request."

Someone thinks about it, if the asking price is not higher, the counter-offer will be settled at once, so how can the merchant make money?

So, he nodded and said, "Well, if it's %, it's pretty much the same, otherwise I will never agree, even if it goes on sale, it doesn't matter!"

"Hehe, if Dangdang knew your intention, I guarantee they would be very happy to come over and beg you to sign the contract!"

Gao Yan sat down after speaking, and continued: "However, if you really sign a contract, you have to cooperate with the promotion according to the publisher's requirements. At most, we can only decide the general direction and details, such as which bookstore The signing event, the fan meeting held in that hall, etc., must depend on their arrangements!"

"Of course there is no problem with this. I also hope that through hard work in publicity, I can sell more records!"

Brother Xiao Sa understands this issue very clearly, because once the contract is signed, the relationship between him and the publishing company will be both prosperous and mutually damaging.

Therefore, no matter how loud the publisher's promotion is, he won't think too much of it. After all, every time he sells an extra record, he can not only get an extra 10 yuan, but also have the confidence to complete the super task!

Gao Yan laughed, spread his hands and said: "Then I've finished what I want to say, and I'll meet the manager of the distribution department of Xinsuo Music later, and chat with him without giving an inch. game."

Brother Xiao Sa also smiled and said: "Don't play too much, unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to be the first person to try to completely hand over the album to the purchase platform!"

"Hey, by the way, we can still operate like this!"

Gao Yan suddenly sat up straight excitedly, looked at someone with bright eyes and said, "Tell me, if the two of us are at a stalemate, Dangdang suddenly announces that it will win the exclusive rights to our album." If we distribute the copyright, will our negotiating opponents attach great importance to it, and then take the initiative to make concessions with some worries?"

Brother Xiaosa twitched his lips: "There will definitely be an effect, but it will definitely not be too big, because so far, no one has tried this method! These traditional publishers may find it funny!"

This is also true, before there are no successful precedents, traditional publishers will definitely not care about the attitude of an online platform, and the current domestic environment where the D version is rampant, will definitely not allow brother Xiaosha to play like this.

If time dragged on for a long time, who would buy his original album when the d-version had already been released?After all, the price difference is really too much!

And more importantly, now that mobile phones and mp3 players are popular, you release an album, and within a few days at most, there will be a lot of free versions on Baidu that can be downloaded at will. In this case, singers release albums It's just a race against time, isn't it?

Therefore, Gao Yan could only sigh: "This is really helpless! It would be great if the d version disappeared overnight! At least your records can sell several times more!"

"Don't think about it, it's impossible!"

Brother Xiao Sa shook his head and smiled wryly, "I used to only buy the D version to listen to. It's up to me and others. This is an unchangeable situation!"

"Haha, is this called retribution?" Gao Yan laughed, looked at Brother Xiaosa and said, "By the way, you asked me to contact Liu Yifei last night, I want to tell you now."

"Did you contact me? Did she agree?"

Brother Xiaosa stood up anxiously, and looked at Gao Yan closely with a nervous look.

"What's the rush? How can it be so fast?"

Gao Yan waved his hand at him and said: "I found out the phone number of Liu Yifei's domestic economic company yesterday, and then called to ask about it, and the other party said they would pass it on to Liu Yifei's manager, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a specific reply. Wait a minute!"

After explaining, Gao Yan added: "And she is very busy now! Her first Mandarin album "Liu Yifei" will be officially released nationwide in three days, that is, on August 8, and she must be there now I'm afraid I don't have much time for at least half a month to prepare for the signing event."

"Damn it, is there really no chance to cooperate?"

Brother Xiaosa is really not reconciled!If this song can be collaborated with Liu Yifei, it will definitely be a very good choice!

"Why don't you contact her yourself?" Gao Yan suggested: "As long as the work is really good and your reputation is added, I don't think even Liu Yifei will simply reject you!"

"I want to too, but I don't have her phone number!"

Brother Xiao Sa also agrees with this suggestion, but he and Liu Yifei have never met at all, let alone dialed his private number.

"This...you can ask He Jiong, most of the celebrities who have appeared on his show have phone numbers!" Gao Yan hesitated and gave a suggestion.

That's right, why didn't you think of this?How confused!

Brother Xiao Sa patted his forehead angrily, quickly picked up the phone, found He Jiong's private number with some joy, and called him.

When it comes to personal connections in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid few people can compare to He Jiong!He watched the trump card program "Happy Camp". Almost half of the stars and superstars in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan had participated in the program. Among other things, he must have received a lot of contact information.

So, if he couldn't find Liu Yifei's phone number here at He Jiong, then he could only choose to wait for her agency's reply, or reluctantly change her. (To be continued.)
