Chapter 31: Pitch Calls?
But Fang Ling was right...... There is some truth to this.
If he can write good songs, why hasn't he ever put them out?
It's not like himself before he suddenly bursts into inspiration!
Is that what you are doing?
I slept in a hotel with him that day, and he was also very honest, I thought he was a good character, was it because of his orientation?
"And after you agreed to be with him, he refused again, don't you think it's weird?" Fang Ling asked.
Lin Zhiyao didn't answer this question, but her heart was more and more inclined to Fang Ling's words.
"I suddenly wanted to gossip. Fang Ling said with a smile: "He has been chasing you for more than two years and you have refused, why did you suddenly agree?
"I ...... At the time, everyone said he was gay, but I actually wanted to protect him. Lin Zhiyao lied: "But I didn't expect that he actually rejected me." ”
"He doesn't want you to protect him!" Fang Ling said with a smile.
Lin Zhiyao smiled helplessly: "I don't know what he thinks in his heart." ”
"He's definitely gay. Fang Ling took a sip of soup and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can test him!"
"How do you try?"
"Just say that you want to make an appointment with him, don't be responsible for him, and see what kind of attitude he has. Fang said with a grin.
"Don't make a fuss. Lin Zhiyao lowered her head to eat with some embarrassment.
"It's the most straightforward and easiest way to do it. ”
"But if he's not gay, wouldn't I really be ...... I was scared. ”
"Then you say you're just joking with him. ”
Lin Zhiyao shook her head: "It's not good to play people like this." ”
"Then I'll try it with him. Fang Ling smiled: "Anyway, I don't play him, if he is not gay, he will be scolded!"
Lin Zhiyao puffed out her mouth unhappily, lowered her head to eat, and didn't answer Fang Ling's words.
……
He Ran was walking on the street when his mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
But it's a landline number, and nine times out of ten it's from a certain company.
Many of these calls are for sales, insurance and house sales.
In the face of this kind of call, He Ran usually wants to answer it too much, but now he is in a good mood.
If it's a young lady and she has a nice voice, then play with her.
"Hey, hello. He Ran smiled politely.
"Hello!" The smile on the other side came, it was indeed a woman, but it was the voice of an aunt: "May I ask Mr. He Ran?"
"Yes. He Ran nodded, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
Although the problem of personal information leakage is becoming more and more serious nowadays, even if you sell something, you will not just call out your name!
"I'm An Lei, the director of Kuyou Music, and I want to talk to you about the copyright of "Jiangnan", is it convenient for you now?"
"Oh...... Convenient. "He suddenly realized that he was going to get money for himself!
Only when the work is popular, others will take the initiative to talk to you about money.
It's like writing a novel online, where you're writing for nothing before the editor is willing to sign you up.
"Our platform wants to win the permanent exclusive network authorization of your work, may I ask Mr. He what is the psychological price?" An Lei laughed softly.
"Miss An, frankly, I don't really want to give you an exclusive license, and besides, the permanent license is too long. ”
"Mr. He, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price. An Lei said earnestly.
"It's not about the price, because I'm just a newcomer now, and I hope to use the traffic of various platforms to work together for a win-win situation. ”
"Then the royalty may be very low. An Lei said helplessly.
He Ran didn't care about her words, this is their way of negotiating, and the subconscious makes you lower your psychological expectations.
"And I'm not going to charge for downloads. ”
"It's free!" An Lei seemed even more helpless: "Then the fee we can give you will be lower." ”
"If the multi-platform license is for one year, how much can you give first?" He Ran said with a smile.
"Hmm...... No problem for a year. An Lei groaned: "But why don't you want to charge for it? Judging from the current situation of this song, if you charge it, your income will skyrocket." ”
"If I say that the most important purpose of my singing is not to make money, would you believe it?"
An Lei smiled softly: "I still believe in people like Mr. He." ”
"So I can just mix and eat, and I don't have a lot of requirements. ”
"In that case...... What is Mr. Ho's psychological expectation?"
"Say how much you're willing to give!"
In this kind of negotiation, in fact, neither party is willing to make an offer first.
Whoever quotes the price first seems to be passive.
But He Ran will definitely not report it first, because now the other party is more eager to authorize this song, and he himself is taking the initiative.
After two sentences of "...... a year", An Lei still relented first: "50,000, if you charge for trial download according to our idea, this price can be multiplied by at least 8." ”
"It's too low. He Ran shook his head: "Even if it's a free trial, I don't think the annual traffic and advertising revenue that this song brings to your platform is only worth 50,000 yuan." ”
"If you are willing to license our platform exclusively in perpetuity, we can give you a million directly. ”
"Miss An, let's not talk about this now, my conditions have been opened, multi-platform authorization for one year, free trial. ”
"Then what is Mr. He's psychological expectation?"
"Two hundred thousand. ”
"It's too high!" An Lei said helplessly: "Mr. He also knows that the life of a popular song is very short, often only one or two months of popularity, and there are other popular songs to suppress it immediately, so the time for us to make money is mainly only two months, this song cannot be charged, in the case of multi-platform authorization, users can listen to it anywhere, let us use this song to bring 200,000 monetization to the platform, it is almost impossible." ”
"Then you think again?"
"Okay......" An Lei nodded lightly: "I hope Mr. He can also think about it, and it is best to charge a fee, so that everyone can win together." ”
……
On the way back to the apartment, He Ran was also pondering the question of whether to charge for the audition.
If you charge a fee, your income will definitely skyrocket.
If you don't charge for it, you can earn a little less, but it's better than 99.99% of people.
There is no right or wrong choice, just follow the heart.
So He Ran still decided, if you don't accept it, you just don't accept it, and you won't be short of money in your life.
There are also some singers in the original world whose works are free of charge, such as Xu Song and Xue Zhiqian.
The two of them only have individual early works, as well as songs on certain TV programs or galas, which are not in their hands, because the rights to them are not in their hands.
