Chapter 759: Contract Issues

With the appearance of Adès, many viewers in the back row cheered again, she was so popular that many stars who have been famous for a long time were red.

I have worked hard for many years, why can't I compare to a child who has just debuted for a few months?

There is no way, whoever gets the trend wins the world, whoever follows the trend will become a trendsetter, "Baby One More Time" conforms to the general trend of pop culture, it's no wonder that Adecy is not popular!

"Jimmy, you got there first?"

At this time, a figure appeared in the row in front of Liu Lang, it was Michael Jackson, he was still dressed like that, wearing a hat and sunglasses, and he wanted to put any sunlight outside.

"Michael!"

Liu Lang stood up and said hello to the other party, the relationship between the two is very good now, it can be regarded as a New Year's friend.

Michael Jackson likes to talk to Liu Lang very much, and the other party hums a small key at will, which makes him have a lot of inspiration, this strong "sense of musicality" makes him sigh to himself, not only music, Liu Lang also has a lot of unexpected ideas about dance, and any few dance steps are novel.

"This time, you Saint Tang have more than a dozen nominations, but it's not easy to break my record!"

Michael Jackson laughs and says that he won seven gold awards at the Grammys four years ago, becoming the most awarded singer in history, but he also made a big joke.

The prize is a 30-centimeter-high gramophone, which weighs more than a kilogram, and each gold medal gets a gramophone, but at the meeting after the awards, Michael Jackson carried seven gramophones alone, and almost flashed his waist, this scene is ridiculous, and this is not to blame the Grammy organizing committee, after all, they never thought that someone would win seven trophies at once.

Later, the Grammy organizing committee remade the trophy, which was reduced from the original 30 centimeters high to 12 centimeters high, and the weight was also reduced by more than half.

Of course, Michael Jackson's time was a sweet annoyance, and many singers couldn't think of it.

"Michael, we only have three songs selected this year, it's normal to not get so many, next year Shengtang Company will release at least six different singles, Adecy will also release an album, one day our Grammy Awards will surpass yours, after all, we have many singers in Shengtang!"

"That's right, with you, a musical genius, Shengtang Company will surpass Sony and Universal sooner or later!"

"Michael, or your latest album will be with us Saint Don!"

Liu Lang suddenly sent out an invitation.

"Hehe, my price is too high, your Shengtang's contract is too low, I am only interested in you personally.........

Michael Jackson said with a smile.

Michael Jackson has his own production team and can release albums on his own, but he still works with Sony Music, mainly to share the cost, and the cost of making a good album can sometimes run into millions of dollars, which is more expensive than many movies.

Don't look at Michael Jackson as a superstar, but he is not 100% sure that his album will be a big hit, Sony paid him, and also used the company's strong marketing channels to promote him, Michael Jackson basically did not have any upfront investment, even if the album hit the street, he did not have any economic losses, and the final profit share, he had to get sixty percent.

This is the treatment of the emperor's superstar, if you change it to an ordinary singer, you can only divide it into 40% at most, if an ordinary singer may not be able to divide it into 100,000, an album will give you 180,000.

First of all, the company guarantees the basic living guarantee of the contracted singers, and the salary is the same as that of the company's middle staff, about more than 40,000 US dollars a year, but they must accept the professional training and arrangements provided by the company.

The rookie contract requires each person to release three singles, and if the single is a big hit, they will be rewarded with five percent of the record's profits.

Adès's first single has now brought $40 million in profits to Saint Don, five percent is more than two million, Jessica's "Thank You" has also earned more than $20 million so far, and her share has exceeded one million, as well as Sibella's "Only Time", which has sales of more than $20 million.

Of course, these songs are all on the market this year, and it will only be half a year at most, and their income will continue to increase.

Shengtang's system of treating newcomers is much stronger than other companies in the United States, and newcomers can get a 5% share, after the newcomer period, that is, the requirements in the newcomer contract are completed, if you sign a contract with Shengtang is 15% of the share, an increase of 10% at once, this is the elite contract, if this contract is still completed, then the next contract is a lifetime contract, and the share will reach 35%, which is also the contract of the current American first-line star.

As for Michael Jackson, he is the only one who has 73 percent with the signing company, and Madonna only signed a big contract with Universal Music Corporation, which is one of the few in the entire Hollywood that can reach this level.

The highest share of this contract method of Shengtang Company has not reached the level of superstar, even if Adeis is very popular now, if she does not leave Shengtang, then her share can only reach a maximum of 35%, which seems to be a loss, but don't forget, how many emperor-level figures like Michael Jackson are? It will only come out in twenty or thirty years, and a superstar like Madonna is also a once-in-a-decade encounter, and the work is one thing, and it depends on personal talent and the opportunities of the times.

The contract formulated by Shengtang Company is completely from the perspective of ordinary people, such as a singer like Jessica, the probability of her becoming a superstar is too small, and the upper limit is only a first-class singer, I don't know how much time it will take to achieve this goal, I am afraid that it is impossible to change to other music companies without ten years or eight years, during this time you can only receive a fixed remuneration, don't even think about sharing this kind of treatment, only Shengtang Company will do this, so this form of contract of Shengtang Company is really very attractive for those young singers。

Of course, the signing conditions of Shengtang Company are more difficult than other companies, after all, Liu Lang's songs are all good songs that were all popular in the previous life, basically as long as they are produced, it will basically be very popular to find a suitable person to sing, and it is not a problem to buy millions of copies, which is why Liu Lang is not allowed to raise the share too high, even if Adeis leaves Shengtang in the future to earn a high salary in other companies, he is not worried, because Shengtang's development does not depend on those singers, but on himself, with Liu Lang here, Shengtang will definitely continue to get stronger.

However, if Michael Jackson cooperates with Shengtang, the price will not be divided according to this ratio, Liu Lang knows that every record of the other party is a big hit, at least it can have sales of nearly 100 million US dollars, even after the death of the other party, the annual copyright fee of the song is tens of millions of US dollars, of course, since the other party did not agree, it will be forgotten, Liu Lang is just casually saying, he has so many good songs that are just as successful as Michael Jackson.
