Chapter 560 Record Contract

Ye Ming dialed Sister Fang's number and said very calmly: "I'm ready here, I'm ready, and I'm ready to start releasing records." How's Sony's talk?"

Sister Fang Fang said with some worry: "Our Chinese singers, go to Europe and the United States to release their own albums, few are successful, even if they are successful, it is a few king-level singers who do some publicity in the Chinese circle, basically our Chinese music is excluded from the mainstream media, Sony said that it promised to release records to us, but the cost requires us to pay, and they are not responsible for the publicity, correspondingly, it is just a management fee of one million." It's the equivalent of leasing our sales channels. Is this appropriate?"

Ye Ming said with great certainty: "Don't worry about this, I think Sony will change its attention soon, you wait and see." When the time comes, don't forget to slaughter them fiercely. ”

Is Sony going to change his attention? This is almost impossible, at least Sister Fang thinks it is impossible, but what Sister Fang Fang didn't expect is that Carl, the marketing department of Sony, went to the capital in person, found Sister Fang Fang, and said very enthusiastically: "Miss Fang, I'm sorry, the matter about Mr. Ye's record is actually the fault of my subordinates, and I have already fired that bastard who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failure." You know, the Japanese are born with a sense of jealousy.

Yamamoto's bastard is jealous of Mr. Ye's talent, so he gave such harsh conditions, and now our Sony has changed the contract, and will focus on recommending Mr. Fang's records, the first circulation. In Europe and the United States, no less than three million. Additional issuance may be increased as appropriate. Now you can take a look at this official contract and hope we get off to a good start. We're giving you an A-level contract. Among pop music singers, this is a contract for the second position. ”

This result is to treat Ye Ming as an international first-line singer. Sister Fang Fang looked at the contract and immediately said: "Impossible, this copyright can't be given to you, Sony also wants to show a little sincerity." ”

Carl immediately said: "As an Asian singer, it is already very sincere to give such conditions. ”

Sister Fang Fang was unmoved and said: "Don't think I don't know about international practices, as a contract, there are two types, one is copyright sharing." One is copyright buyout, you want to buy out the copyright of my artist's songs, which is basically impossible, and if the copyright is shared, it's pretty much the same. ”

Carl immediately shook his head and said: "What you said is not wrong, there are two forms of contract, but those who can complete copyright sharing are all top singers, and this is no longer within the scope of A-level contracts." Like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, is this kind of super contract. Mr. Ye is clearly not suitable for this kind of contract. ”

Jackson. Madonna, Britney, this is the world's top singer. Beyond the A-list singers, he has countless fans all over the world. Releasing a single can casually rush to the top of the charts in various countries and release an album. If you don't have a score of three or five million, you are embarrassed to say that you are a top singer.

Only singers of this level are qualified to be on an equal footing with giants like Sony. And Jackson, for example, owns all the rights to the Beatles' songs, the king of pop music, which is a recognized title.

Sister Fang Fang shook her head very affirmatively and said: "If that's the case, then we still don't want to change the contract, don't say that we can't issue it without Sony's recommendation, the Quantum Fund still has a lot of channels in this regard, and Mr. Carl should also know that our Brilliant Network has cooperation with the Quantum Fund." ”

If you don't share copyright, I won't change the contract, this is also Sister Fang Fang's insistence, anyway, we have already signed a contract, therefore, in such a situation, Sony doesn't dare to tear up the contract casually, otherwise wait for a lawsuit.

This is Ye Ming's bottom line, and Sister Fang Fang will not give in.

And Carl actually had a bottom line when he came, he must get Ye Ming's contract, even if it is an appropriate concession, it doesn't matter.

If it is an ordinary singer, or even a singer at the level of the four kings of Hong Kong City, there is no room for bargaining with Sony, but Ye Ming does have such a strength. The behemoth of the Quantum Fund is Ye Ming's partner, and Sony has to be careful about this.

What's more, the Quantum Fund has a certain say in Sony, and they have a lot of Sony stocks.

Therefore, at this time, Carl hesitated for a moment and said: "Sharing is not impossible, but we have a requirement, in Sony, where there is such a requirement, then at least there is a hard standard, if you want to follow the standard of sharing copyright, the record of five platinum is the least, we can agree to copyright sharing, but this premise is that the record sales reach five platinum, otherwise I have no way to explain to the company." ”

Sister Fang Fang also had no way to make a decision, so after thinking about it, she said: "My artist will go to Madrid tomorrow, so let's go to that place, and the two of you can talk face-to-face when the time comes." ”

There are some things that Sister Fang Fang can do, but there are some things that she can't do. When Carl heard this, he was also a little helpless, but the company gave a death order to get the contract for Ye Ming's record as much as possible, otherwise he wouldn't have to go back.

100,000 people followed a song and dance beat, what kind of rhythm is this, this is simply a rhythm against the sky, in the West, Jiangnan style has already shown a viral outbreak trend. The real storm is coming.

Spain, Madrid, at this time, Ye Ming was eating with the members of Flowers and Teenagers, because they had gone through the days of no money, so at this time, the members of Flowers and Teenagers' groups had learned to calculate their lives, and how much money they ate for a meal finally became a number they cared about.

Breakfast was milk, potato salad, tomato juice bread, well, this combination made Fan Binbin very depressed, and finally everyone added a hot dog, which is already the limit.

Fan Binbin drank milk while eating a hot dog, and did not forget to complain: "Brother Ming, there is really no way to live this day, we don't say that we don't have money, why are we so saving?"

Ye Ming said with a smile: "What's wrong with saving, if in the end, we don't have the opportunity to ask for help, we can ask the crew to arrange a big meal for us, the real royal nobles' enjoyment, the kind of mango that jumps on the table." ”

Thinking of having a big meal, Fan Binbin suddenly became interested, and quickly nodded and said, "This is good, this is good, see how many times we can ask for help when the time comes." ”

Just when everyone was about to eat and start a day's trip, Sister Fang Fang actually made other people come to the door very unexpectedly, and brought a blonde foreigner.

Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "Sister Fang, you are late, if it is ten minutes short, then we will visit those places of interest in Madrid, and it will not be easy for you to find us at that time." ”

Sister Fang Fang said very politely: "You can't be so unconscionable, we rushed over directly after getting off the plane, you also know the plane meal, you can't starve to death, but you definitely can't eat enough." Never mind. Let's have a steak first, grill it for me, and don't pay for it if it's not cooked. ”

Ye Ming beckoned the waiter to prepare, and at this time Sister Fang Fang introduced: "This is Mr. Carl, the marketing manager of Sony Records, what about us, there is no successful negotiation, your conditions, Mr. Carl said that at least five platinum sales can be counted, which is also an international practice." You talk about the rest. ”

Ye Ming looked at Mr. Carl curiously and said, "In my settlement, there will be no such clause in the general contract, Mr. Carl will not discriminate against us yellow people, right?"

This is a super big hat, not to mention that Carl is the manager of the marketing department, even if he is the chairman of Sony, he does not have the courage to bear this big hat, even the president of the United States does not have the courage to do so.

Therefore, Mr. Carr immediately said: "This is impossible, this kind of shared contract, can only speak according to the results, some singers have already proven their achievements with previous records." Of course, Mr. Ye's achievements are also obvious to all, but they are only achievements in the Asia-Pacific region, and they have not been internationally recognized, so this clause must be written in the contract. ”

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Actually, I am sure to achieve this, but your attitude does not let me approve of it, so I can give you an answer, three platinum, this is my bottom line, if I don't recognize this achievement, then at this time, I refuse to change the contract." Even if you tear up the contract you signed before, you will have to wait for my lawyer's letter, and I think that Momoyo will be interested, no matter whether I really say it or not, I don't have much to lose. ”

Ye Ming has this self-confidence, looking for Sony some time ago, Ye Ming was in a disadvantageous position, so he signed a contract that was almost self-funded.

However, now that Ye Ming is in an advantageous position, he will definitely not give in lightly. After hearing about the Baidai Company, Carl was surprised for a while, what was he afraid of, Baidai, that was an old rival of Sony.

At this moment, Carl immediately made up his mind that he would never let the company succeed. Otherwise, you should roll up and get out. (To be continued......)
