Great Artist

Chapter 231: Competition warm up

The real meaning of participating in the draft is still to be able to sign a record company and fulfill your music dream.

In "Pop Idol," the top ten all have to sign with Eleven Studios, while the winner gets a bonus and, most importantly, a record deal.

In the course of the competition, there must be a record company who has a good seed from the contestants, so the right to contact the negotiation first is very useful. Although it is the first to contact the negotiation, it does not have the power to finalize the right to sign a contract, at least it can create a **** to let the record company take the lead in the negotiation.

The "priority contact negotiation right 1" demanded by Simeng-Fowler is undoubtedly planning for the next game. In his opinion, "Pop Idol" must have more than one season, and there is a possibility that it will be carried out all over the world. So, just like Evan Bell "twenty-fifths of the player's income", Simeng-Fowler also chose long-term interests.

From this small detail, we can see that Simeng-Fowler is more brilliant than Evan-Bell. Evan-Fowler is just sticking to his own bottom line, and his ability to respond on the spot is definitely not as good as Simeng-Fowler. .

The expression on Evan Bell's face still did not change, but he lowered his eyelids, looking like he was thinking, crossed his hands on the table, and his left hand subconsciously touched the ring finger of his right hand, where he gently touched it. rubbing. This action is very helpful for Evan Bell to calm down and think.

"The liquidated damages for each player are 200,000 British List, and then 15/10 of the player's income in the next ten years." Evan Bell's thoughts were like lightning, and he quickly made a decision. He paid each player's liquidated damages, and handed over a part of the interests in the ratio of income and dividends, but he had priority access to the negotiating rights, and he did not intend to give it up.

Evan Bell can see clearly that the top ten "American Idol" players in the future will be favored by many record companies. If the priority contact negotiation rights are signed to 19 Entertainment, the competitiveness of other record companies will decline. Then the priority contracting rights held by Eleven Studios will be weakened a lot. There will be benefits only when there is competition. In a sense, the right to preferential access to negotiation will also have an impact on the benefits brought about by the right to contract preferentially. Therefore, this right cannot be compromised!

The Maitreya-like smile on Ximeng-Fowler's face was still the same, but his eyes flickered at Evan-Bell's eyes, with a little more inexplicable expression, and then he quickly covered it up.

Deborah-Johnson saw clearly as a bystander. Evan Bell has a very good grasp of the development of the negotiation, immediately renounces some interests at a critical moment, and regains the initiative of the negotiation in his hands, thereby ensuring the integrity of the core interests. Maybe Evan Bell is not a business genius, but his atmosphere and proper advance and retreat have the basic conditions for great things.

In today's negotiation, according to Simeng-Fowler's vision, Evan-Bell can completely raise the price as long as it is not excessive, even if 19 Entertainment, Warner Records, and other record companies will come to the door. This is completely invincible for Evan Bell.

In fact, Evan-Bell not only did not start the price on the ground, but also knew the proportions very well. Although it is necessary to take away 20% of the players' income in the next ten years, this is normal for record companies and brokerage companies, because if they stand in Evan Bell's position, they will also make such a request.

Therefore, after weighing it, Ximeng-Fowler found that he had no reason to refuse and no need to refuse.

"Mr. Bell, I'm very happy to be working with you." This is a good start, and Simeng-Fowler believes that there will be no shortage of places for him to cooperate with Eleven Studios in the future.

The liquidated damages for each player are 200,000 British List, and then 15/15 of the player's income in the next ten years. This is the condition of the final contract. After the "pop idol" ends, Evan and Bell can make a god. There are ten players and two sons in the English list. As for the income, it will be settled one by one when there is income. .

"Pop Idol" is still three weeks away, and the top ten players have already completed the change of owners and officially become a member of 19 Entertainment. Of course, whether 19 Entertainment wants to make records for these players, or transfer the players to other companies, is the freedom of Simeng-Fowler. As long as Ximeng-Fowler has the means, he can make a **** and earn back the funds lost to Evan-Bell in the form of re-signing. This is business, part of society.

Although Eden-Hudson was an intern at a law firm, Evan-Bell recruited Eden-Hudson for the signing this time. However, unlike before, they were all friends to help. Evan-Bell personally asked Go to Latham-Watkins LLP and invite Eden-Hudson to help sign a contract for a fee.

At present, Eden-Hudson is only an intern, and has not specified the future direction: Litigation Lawyer, Corporate Lawyer, Economic Lawyer, etc. At present, Eden-Hudson's boss is a corporate lawyer who is mainly responsible for various legal services at the business level, but his learning content covers all aspects.

The cooperation between Eleven Studio and 19 Entertainment is also the first case completed by Eden Hudson as a principal since his internship, which also gave him a position at Latham-Watkins Law Firm. Some changes. After all, lawyers who can bring economic benefits to law firms are what firms need. For interns, it is very difficult to have this opportunity.

After the signing was completed, Simeng-Fowler rushed to the United Kingdom immediately, and he had a lot of things to do as the "pop idol" session was coming to an end.

Evan Bell, who stayed in New York, was not idle either, and was pulled by Claire Dess to complete the filming of the "Hello, Icy World". Although the promotion of "Crazy World" has not ended, Claire Dess is the Knowing about Evan-Bell, maybe one day I will be too busy to have time, so it is better to finish the MV shooting now.

"Hello, Cold World" has been confirmed as the sixth single from Evan Bell's album. If the quality of an album is good enough, all ten songs will be produced as singles separately, although not much, but not a lot. This is also a simple way to maximize the benefits of the album and lengthen the promotion period.

However, for a newcomer who has made albums, there are actually six songs that have made singles, which shows the high popularity and high quality of this album, and it can also make God see Warner Records' high confidence.

However, Warner Records is not in a hurry about the release of Evan Bell's sixth single. The Grammy Awards ceremony, which will be watched by the world at the end of February, is about to start. After the awards ceremony, there will be another six singles, which is undoubtedly a good time. point.

The lively awards season is still underway, and it has entered the hottest time period. The most watched awards shows in the film and music industries: the Oscars and the Grammys, are coming soon. Most of the awards season has been warming up for this finale, and the emotions of the media, artists and audience have undoubtedly entered the rhythm of the awards season.

The film and television part has nothing to do with Evan-Bell for the time being, but in the music field, throughout the awards season, the competition between Evan-Bell and Alicia Keys has already started before the arrival of the Grammys, which have attracted worldwide attention.

In the United States, there are three major music awards ceremonies, the American Music Awards, the American Billboard Music Awards,

Grammy Awards. The American Music Awards are determined by the votes of recording consumers, the Billboard Music Awards in the United States are awarded based on the annual performance of the Billboard, and the Grammy Awards are judged by the votes of members of the entertainment industry. It can be said that the first two focus on popularization, while the third focuses on quality.

In addition, the Teen Choice Awards and the MTV Music Video Awards are also one of the music awards.

In September alone, the MTV Video Music Awards came to an end, and Evan Bell took home two awards for Best New Artist Video and Best R&B Video for "Just a Dream". However, Evan Bell, who joined the volunteer team at the time, did not show up to accept the award.

At the US Billboard Music Awards held in early December last year, Alicia Keys won the title of Rookie of the Year, as well as R&B Rookie of the Year, overcoming Evan Bell, who was absent from filming the "Adapted Script". trophy.

At the 29th American Music Awards, which kicked off in mid-January, Evan Bell finally met. This was also the first time that he and Alicia Keys, two competitors, appeared on the same stage at the awards ceremony. . As a result, Evan-Bell pulled one back and successfully won two trophies for Best Pop Newcomer and Best R&B Newcomer, while Alicia-Keys regretted returning empty-handed.

Evan-Bell and Alicia-Keys had a lot of fun in the long awards season, especially at the audience-focused Billboard Music Awards and the American Music Awards. Each newcomer sings a good show, which means that the competition continues. The Grammys, voted by professional judges, naturally became the final decisive stage. Although there is still more than half a month before the 44th Grammy Awards ceremony, the competition between Evan Bell and Alicia Keys has obviously entered a white-hot stage, which makes the media very excited.

In fact, others may not believe it, Evan Bell and Alicia Keys are just nodding acquaintances, and they can count on one hand what they have said. Not to mention competitors, not even acquaintances. But the media don't care about this. If there is confrontation, there will be focus, and there will be topics. This is what they care about.

In order to participate in the American Music Awards, Evan-Bell flew from New York to Los Angeles, and won his first Musical Newcomer Award at the Nokia Grand Theater. From the awards ceremony, he brought two triangular pyramid trophies. Evan-Bell and Instead of going back to New York in a hurry, I found Teddy Bell, who was still in Los Angeles to handle affairs.

After the previous "adaptation of the script" ended, Teddy Bell began to be busy, and he didn't tell Evan Bell in detail about the matter of going to Los Angeles. He only knew that it was a matter of Eleven Studio. Since Evan and Bell have all come to Los Angeles this time, there is nothing to do when they go back anyway, so they decided to come and help. ! .
