Chapter 235: I pay for the money, and the copyright is also mine

"Brother, Director Chen. It didn't take long for Li Siyue to arrive.

Liu Yun pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Siyue, you sit here first." ”

After Li Siyue sat down, Liu Yun handed the documents in his hand to his cousin, looked at Chen Tao calmly and said, "Director Chen, how about signing the contract once a year?"

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "One sign a year? Mr. Liu, you really like to joke." ”

For most artists, their acting careers are just a short-lived youthful meal, and there are too few evergreens that can maintain their popularity. A ten-year contract is too long, but five years is not too short.

Liu Yun shook his head and smiled: "Director Chen, don't get excited, the contract signed this year is just my personal suggestion." At the negotiation table, the price was sky-high, and the money was repaid on the ground. ”

Chen Tao nodded and replied, "Mr. Liu is right. It's just that your condition is a bit too harsh. It is necessary to know that our company has to spend countless financial and material resources to package Siyue. If she only signed a one-year contract, in case we made her popular, she would have moved on to another company a year later. Our company lost its wife and soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Mr. Liu, I'll tell you the truth. Miss Siyue's contract, we are already very sincere, you must know that the contracts of several other players are all starting from ten years. ”

Liu Yun replied very indifferently: "I understand. ”

Chen Tao was also stunned, looking at Liu Yun's expression, an unexpected thought flashed in his heart.

The young boss seems to know the unspoken rules of the talent show. He proposed that the five-year contract period was the company's sincerity, but the other party did not buy it.

Liu Yun pondered for a while, and then continued to speak: "I also understand your company's difficulties, in fact, a five-year contract is not unavoidable. ”

Chen Tao's eyes lit up, his expression was still impassive, he understood that there would inevitably be follow-up conditions when the other party said this.

Liu Yun picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and continued: "For most artists, the showbiz is to eat youth. Five years is very precious for Siyue, and I don't want to waste it. So I'd like to hear your plans. ”

Chen Tao understood, the other party was asking him to recommend resources. He knows a truth very well, in this entertainment industry where capital is king, if it is hidden by the company and has no exposure, no matter how popular the artist is, he will slowly pass away.

He replied: "As the first super girl champion, Siyue's characteristics are so distinct, our company will definitely spend a lot of effort on packaging, please rest assured that Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Yun nodded and said, "I personally don't like to beat around the bush, so I have something to say." We can sign a 4+1 five-year contract. I hope that in the next four years, Tianyu Media can release two albums for Siyue, two TV series that are at least the second female number two or above, and ensure that there is at least one opportunity to log in to Mango Satellite TV's "Happy Camp" once a year. After four years, if these requirements are met, the contract will be automatically renewed for another year. ”

He looked at Chen Tao's frowning expression and continued: "I myself miss the old, if the cooperation is happy, it is not impossible for us to continue to renew the contract after five years." ”

Chen Tao thought for a moment and replied: "The two behind Mr. Liu have requirements, and I can agree." As for the first request, I need to think about it. ”

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, why?"

Chen Tao smiled wryly: "The record market is rampant with piracy and has been sluggish, especially now with the development of the Internet, many people can download songs on the Internet, except for those hardcore fans, who will buy genuine albums." ”

Liu Yun understood what Chen Tao meant, in today's record market, releasing albums is not only not making money, but also burning money, so he said: "I never expected to make money from albums, there are many ways to make money, such as advertising endorsements, commercial performances, and announcement fees for variety shows." For a singer, the hard indicators are two things, the number of concerts and albums, if there are no these, how can Siyue be said to be a singer. ”

Chen Tao hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Having said that, but the cost of releasing an album, including follow-up publicity, is almost 2 million yuan, and this expenditure is not something I can make alone." ”

In the final analysis, it is a matter of money, and the investment of all this is not proportional to the return.

Liu Yun was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "If we are willing to inject funds into the album production, what kind of return can you give us?" ”

Chen Tao glanced at Liu Yun with a little surprise and replied, "This is a feasible way. We are willing to offer a revenue share of album sales. ”

Liu Yun pursed his lips quietly, he didn't care about the little money at all, and replied: "The album is a loss of money, and I don't need that little bit." My request is very simple, I will pay for the MV fees of the two songs "Invisible Wings" and "I Love You, Huaxia", and the copyright of these two songs with the MV also needs to be in my hands. In the next few years, as long as I write a song to Siyue, I will still follow this method. ”

Chen Tao frowned and thought for a while: "Aren't you going to sell these two songs?"

Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm not short of money, of course I'm not going to sell." This is a song that I wrote on a flash of inspiration. Maybe you won't be able to write such a song in the years to come, so how can you sell it to others? Siyue is the original singer and your contracted artist, so she can naturally use these two songs to do some commercial performances. The money earned from commercial performances will be divided equally between you and Siyue, but the copyright is in my hands, and I can take it back at any time. ”

Chen Tao nodded and said, "I can agree to this request." Hearing Liu Yun say that the money earned from these two songs is not commissioned, he agreed directly without thinking about it, where to find such a good thing.

Liu Yun continued: "It's okay on my side, but you should still be concerned about the cost of my girlfriend's side." He decided to fight for some benefits for Su Yuhan, although she might not necessarily like this money.

"The five-year usage fee for the two songs is a total of 50,000 yuan, which is already a very sincere price. For his girlfriend, Liu Yun is still a little apologetic.

My cousin participated in the draft and had nothing to do with her. But she is still busy without complaining, and there is nothing in return so far.

Liu Yun didn't want to owe her in his heart, of course, this money should be paid by Mango TV.

How to give this money is a science. If Liu Yun paid for Su Yuhan herself, she might only think that it was just a gift from her boyfriend, and she would have a lot less sense of accomplishment.

If the money is given through Mango TV, she will feel that it is the income of her own labor, and she will be happy. Things that can make his girlfriend happy, Liu Yun is naturally willing to do it.

"Yes, that's fine. Chen Tao agreed without hesitation. These two songs have the potential to be golden songs, and the usage fee of 50,000 yuan for five years is not expensive.
