Entertainment: Starting from Idol Producer

After school started, Cao Gong took a vacation and immediately returned to the training camp to prepare for the finals.

However, before the preparations, Cao Gong was invited by the producer of the program to discuss things.

After changing his clothes, Cao Gong met the producer of the program, who was also the producer of 271.

In fact, Cao Gong could probably guess what was going on.

"Please take a seat."The producer politely invited Cao Gong to sit down.

Cao Gong sat down, but he was not nervous. After all, with his status, the producer in front of him could not make him nervous.

After all, he was a person with assets of over 5 billion, so how could he be scared by a small producer?

"Let's get straight to the point. I'm sure you know this, Cao Gong."

"With your current popularity, you will be voted to debut during the live broadcast of the finals, that's for sure."

"Once you are voted in to debut, you will definitely sign a contract with us"

"Although it is just a limited group, the contract is only two years"

"But I think you have your own thoughts, right? You don't intend to sign the contract, right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought about quitting the competition before."

"You came to our program just to use our platform to make yourself famous and gain popularity, right?"The producer was smart and saw through Cao Gong's thoughts.

Cao Gong smiled and nodded to admit that this was correct.

He came to participate in this program without thinking about being selected to debut.

His purpose was to show himself here.

After all, this program is so popular, it is enough for him to come to this program.

With his ability, it is easy for him to debut and gain a foothold.

But the premise is that if you want to quickly enter the public eye, you need a good platform and opportunity.

900 before the college entrance examination, he accidentally learned that he was going to record"Idol Trainee", so he decided to sign up.

"Tell me, does Producer Jiang Bin have any good suggestions? Cao Gong asked Jiang Bin

"You are Liu Dehua's son, so you must have a lot of experience. Let's get straight to the point."

"The draft will continue. We will not manipulate your final ranking."

"At the same time, you can choose not to sign a two-year contract with us 271, but you will still be a member of this limited group, and your personal announcement will not be arranged by our platform."

"If you are arranged, you will also be paid. Because there is no contract, our platform will not take any dividends from your pay."

"But you have to promise me to participate in another show of ours"

"Become a regular guest on this reality show and you will be paid 20 million"

"Oh?" After learning this, Cao Gong was very surprised:"Give me, a newcomer, a variety show salary of 20 million?"

"As far as I know, Dilraba Dilmurat’s PD pay for"Idol Producer" is only 10 million, right?"

"But the pay for a new idol like me to appear in a variety show is 20 million per season?"

""Producer Jiang, this reality show is very hard and dangerous, right?"

This is Cao Gong's guess. This show should not be easy.

After all, he is a newcomer, and he is actually paid such a high salary for a variety show? It is really unexpected.

"No, this variety show is not hard, nor is it dangerous, but I think this show is very good. If you are willing to join, it will be easy to attract investment."

Producer Jiang said so, so Cao Gong would definitely want to see what kind of variety show it is.

"Let's fall in love, shall we?" Cao Gong was surprised to see this program.

"Are they going to let our Heating CP be on this show?"

Now he understood. After all, the Heating CP is so popular now. The show"Idol Producer" even set up a small theater specifically for the Heating CP.

If they seize this wave of popularity and let them come to this show, then the attention of this show will be high, and then this show will be able to attract sponsors and advertisers.

"Hehe~" Producer Jiang smiled without saying anything, which shows that it is indeed the case.

"How long will it take? When will it be recorded?"Since it's this show, I can go on it, no problem.

"There are 12 episodes in one season. As for how many days it takes to record, it's hard to say."

"It will take at least a month to record, right? But the recording time needs to be discussed."

"As for when the recording will be done? It will be done after the finals of"Idol Producer".

After learning this, Cao Gong said:"But I have to go to South Africa to shoot a movie this month."

"This is indeed a troublesome matter, but our program is not in a hurry to be broadcast."

"We will record a program first, and then after you go to South Africa to film, we will discuss the time of the second recording with your team, how about it?"

Producer Jiang has already given very good benefits and conditions.

Cao Gong felt that there was nothing he couldn't agree to. He had also read the contract and there was no problem.

After signing the contract, he could get an income of 20 million before he made his debut.

Because he has not signed a contract with an agency, he only needs to pay 9 million in taxes for the 20 million income.

The income tax for celebrities is 45%.

However, Cao Gong is not short of money now, but he can't ask for too low a price, unless it is a friendship price.

Otherwise, if he asks for a low price, the money generated by the program group, the producer or the producer will use the money he saves to support the girl, wouldn't he be more of a sucker?

Unless he has a good relationship with the director and knows him, there is definitely no problem in giving a friendship price.

But for cooperation with the platform like this, it is better to negotiate according to the market price.

"Oh, and by the way, when your group debuts, what do you think of the new album?"

"The production of this album is handed over to you. Do you have any ideas?" (To read the super exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!) When producer Jiang talked about this, Cao Gong was a little surprised, but he could understand it.

He remembered that this limited group had delayed releasing the album after its debut.

Because after the debut, they were arranged by the platform to make money in various ways, and had no time to prepare the album properly, so this album was a fan's disappointment.

According to the time, the 9% group selected by Idol Producer was 9 people selected in the finals on April 6, 2018, and then announced their debut.

However, the first album of this group was not released until November 2018.

This is enough to show that the people selected by this boy group never thought about developing in the music field, but just wanted to make money. This is why Cao Gong did not plan to sign a contract before.

Coming to this show, it's enough to become famous, and there is no need to sign a contract.

Anyway, if you sign a contract, they will not help to release the album, they will only use them to make money.

"Let me make it?" He really didn't know how to answer this question.

"Yes, you come to write songs for your limited group and produce this album"

"Of course, all the expenses of this album will be borne by us 271"

"Then after the album is released, in addition to the copyright of the songs being yours, you will also get an additional 15% of the sales revenue from the album."

Producer Jiang told Cao Gong that he would get 15% of the sales revenue from the album.

This is indeed very sincere.

According to the current situation of singers releasing albums, the revenue share of the album is actually not much.[]

Basically, the platform takes 70% and the music company takes 30%.

In other words, if the sales of an album is 100 million, the platform will have to pay 40% of the information channel fee, which is 40 million.

Then of the remaining 60 million, the platform's labor cost will be 50%, which is 30 million.

The remaining 30 million is for the music record company.

And the production cost of the record has not been deducted from this 30 million.

And this 30 million also includes the share between the music company and the singer.

If the share between the music company and the singer is 70% and 30%, then the company will take 21 million and the singer will take 9 million.

But if the singer is a group, a group like 9%, which has 9 members.

The 9 million singer's dividend will also be divided equally within the group, which is exactly 1 million per person.

The key is that the dividends of idol groups like this are generally not too high.

The dividends between idol groups and companies are basically 28%.

Some companies that are more ruthless may only share 190% with singers.

The company and the idol group split the profits 70% to 30%, which is very rare, unless they reach the level of Lu Han and Zhang Yixing.

Therefore, the 15% dividend that Producer Jiang gave to Cao Gong, the producer of the music album, is a lot.

Take the sales of 100 million as an example, and the 15% dividend is only 15 million.

Although it is only 15 million, it is actually a lot compared to the group's share.

After all, if the group shares, they may not even get 1 million.

It is really difficult for singers nowadays to release albums and make money based on sales.

The platform basically takes the dividends from the singer's album sales.

Basically, the music platform takes 70% of the entire album sales.

However, if the album and the songs are popular, it will drive a lot of business later.

For example, performing at the New Year's Eve concert will also receive appearance fees and other income.

It depends on how you understand it.

""Okay." If that's the case, Cao Gong thinks there's no problem.

The copyright is still his, and he can produce the album himself and get 15% of the dividends, so why not.

In fact, he also plans to prepare his own solo album after the finals.

But now it seems that he really needs to finish this album first.

As for the teammates who will be selected later, Cao Gong doesn't care much.

Anyway, it's just about two years in the same group, and then it will disband.

Since it will disband later, it's fine to cooperate for a year and a half now.

What's more, cooperation does not mean living together, it has no impact on him, and they can also make money from cooperation.

After the discussion, the contract was signed, and after the negotiation, Cao Gong went back to the practice room.
