Vincent was well-intentioned.

After the MV was also filmed, in addition to the remuneration, it was increased according to the standard.

I also want to buy the copyright.

In the United States, copyright is very important, needless to say.

Because Mercury Records is a subsidiary of Universal Music, the vice president of Universal Music is connected by Vincent's father, Tim. hopes to sign Yan Huang to become a singer of Universal Music. Why is Vincent well-intentioned?

Jin Zhong has long expressed Yan Huang's development because of his youth and talent. I don't want to be confined to China or even Asia. In addition to the previous "" has proved that Yan Huang has the potential to develop in Europe and the United States, this "see." proves his level.

Especially since he's only 18 years old.

Universal has branches all over the world, for example, in the early days, many singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan were signed with Universal Records. And this time, even Yan Huang signed a direct contract with the headquarters, which is not a good opportunity.

But while Kim Joong was happy, he proved his ability more and more. He vaguely revealed that it is precisely because Universal is a big company that many well-known and globally influential top singers have expressed their dissatisfaction. Because the copyright of the songs he created belongs to the record company. If you cancel the contract, you won't even be able to own your own songs, or you won't be able to sing them.

Of course, it was only vaguely heard, and it was only an expression of dissatisfaction.

There are no well-known singers to the extent of disputes, but it also reminds Yan Huang.

In fact, Vincent's meaning is that you want to develop in Europe and the United States, especially if you are a pure outsider, or an Asian. Historically, there has been little success.

At the very least, you can't do without a record company's packaging, its promotion, and its ability to deal with local things.

Don't talk about future development, let's talk about the song "see."

After you sign a contract with Universal, you will make publicity plans and arrangements for you, and the fame and popularity gained by not signing a contract with Universal, there is a world of difference.

So Vincent learned of the concerns of the two and understood them very much, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Because it's because of copyright, it's not all about the hegemonic clause that the record label is.

It's hard to promote and publicize a singer to become the top and make money with popularity. If the copyright of the song you created is still in the singer's own hands, pay some liquidated damages and pat your ass and leave, one, two, or three are like this, and the mature market is chaotic again. There are pros and cons to everything.

So how to weigh it, Yan Huang and Jin Zhong considered it themselves.

"I'll think about a shit!!"

What else did Yan Huang think about? Asked Wen Sen directly: "Are you staying out of the matter?!"

Pointing at Vincent: "You are my team!!I didn't treat you as an outsider, and Jin Zhong is so used to you." At this time, what are you going to do inside and out?!"

Vincent couldn't cry or laugh, but he was also very touched by Yan Huang's help to him from beginning to end, and he really didn't treat him as an outsider.

He really thinks about it as his own business.

Sitting on the bed in his room, this moment is naturally after the filming of the MV.

These are the businesses of the Furious 7 crew, all completed. At this moment, it is said that Yan Huang wants to sign a contract with Universal and sell copyrights.

However, in the end, he is a native of the West, and he must agree with Yan Huang's copyright to be sold to a record company and signed with Universal.

"Anyway, when you become popular, you will think about copyright ownership. ”

Vincent looked at Jin Zhong: "It's not popular yet, it's too early to think so much." Jin Zhong, what do you say?"

Jin Zhong thought about it and looked at Yan Huang: "With the power of the world and your own ability, you can really occupy a place in the international market." Then you will already be gilded when you return to China, and when the time comes, if you want to make money, even if you completely give up the foreign market, you will earn enough. ”

Vincent knew Yan Huang's own domestic company the most, and he also spoke: "I have always known that being an artist is fame and fortune. But in your eyes, it's more about fame than profit. It's easy to say it's red, right?"

Yan Huang shook his head: "The truth is this. ”

Vincent spoke: "And. In fact, the copyright of mastering recording, if the singer rises to a certain status. The record company will give it back to him. Because of the difference in value and status. Surely you are not qualified to talk about it now......"

Yan Huang interrupted: "That's what I meant. I mean, it's okay to give it now, you have to have an accurate positioning for yourself. But if one day I succeed, but the contract is signed for too long......"

Vincent scratched his head: "This is too. Definitely I won't sign a short contract, the contract length in your country is rather confusing. It's as long as it takes. It's almost a few years on our side. Short, medium and long. ”

Jin Zhong looked at Vincent and suddenly spoke: "I have a compromise. ”

The two looked at him, and Jin Zhong smiled: "Isn't Mercury Records a subsidiary of Universal? ”

Yan Huang smiled: "Pay a, right? Don't trade directly, give it to a third party?"

"That's right!!"

Vincent clapped his hands: "I still pretend to like the delivery and takeaway business in your country, and I forgot about it." ”

looked at Yan Huang: "As for the other brokerage contracts and record contracts, they will all be given to Universal Music." And rest assured, if you want to give up the foreign market and return to China to make money, the world will not agree. ”

Yan Huang got up: "Vincent." In the future, are you willing to return to China or be with you in our country, but I think you have full authority to handle my career in Europe and the United States. ”

Jin Zhong nodded: "That's right." ”

Vincent was at a loss: "What do you mean by me dealing with it?"

Jin Zhong went over to shake hands with him, and his tone was kind: "It means that you have been promoted and raised." ”

Vincent stepped back and pointed at him, "Mr. Jin, your attitude is very different from when you scolded me before. ”

Yan Huang smiled: "Do you know how to use idioms?"

That didn't go into further ado, and then stayed for a few more days. Vincent went to his father to learn from him. In addition to talking about the mastering copyright, on behalf of Yan Huang's agent status in Europe and the United States, how to talk to the world for him to talk about fighting for more benefits for Yan Huang.

Vincent's father, Tim, was very relieved that Vincent, who had always been a child, was still an only child. Although American culture does not have to have a son inherit his father's business, it is hoped that he can become a talent. Don't mess around like this every day.

Now it is an outsider who easily makes him return to the road of professional struggle, and he is particularly proactive. As a father, he doesn't have a second child, so he naturally teaches him.

And in order to give his son a ride, my father, as the owner and CEO of Mercury Records, personally took his son to meet with Andrew Downs, vice president of Universal Music, to discuss the signing of Yan Huang.

In fact, Universal Music is owned by the French Vivendi Group.

It's just that the mainstream big companies are in the United States.

Tim's strategy is simple and straightforward, and ginger is old and spicy.

directly stated that there was only one condition, and Yan Huang must be given great protection of interests. It is the Zhongguo market behind it.

Including the works of Yan Huang with this Furious 7, it is not without this consideration. They will definitely release Rush 7 in Zhongguo, and the box office has extremely high expectations. At that time, it was vigorously promoted that it was the domestic singer Yan Huang who wrote the lyrics, composed the music and arranged the music and sang the commemoration of Paul's "see.", which will definitely have a greater response.

But for a company as big as Universal Music, with a history of seventy or eighty years, what have you never seen?

For the time being, you Yan Huang is nothing, it's nothing. There is no qualification to require good conditions. Of course, it's also about your potential and future.

When the time comes, it won't be at this price.

In the end, there was no concession on the share. However, in terms of copyright, I agreed to all the requests to be handed over to Mercury Records. Anyway, Universal is also the majority shareholder of Mercury Records. It's just that the right to operate the subsidiary still lies with the president and boss, that is, Tim.

As for the rest, he promised to vigorously promote his integration into the mainstream of Europe and the United States.

Although this is only a promise, it is also a very important guarantee. At the same time, it is also what the Yan Huang team values the most.

As for whether it is cashed out, this does not have to be a hard requirement.

If you don't cash in, I don't lose anything? If you cash in, you'll have good for yourself.

And the most important thing is that if you really just want to suppress Yan Huang behind the scenes, not let Yan Huang run his European and American careers, and prevent him from developing himself, it will definitely not work.

This article was won by Tim for Vincent and Yan Huang. It's written into the contract.

It is also the one that Yan Huang values the most.

With this one, everything else has more initiative.

After everything is over, after signing the contract, he officially became a singer and artist at Universal Music Headquarters, rather than a contracted singer from Universal in the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The difference is too great.

It is also the most solid step for Yan Huang to enter the international market in the future.
