Kong Jing brought the contract issued by Baidai to Tong Mu this time, 48 pages of A4 paper, all kinds of terms are listed in detail, after dinner, Hu Yiting took Tong Mu to read the contract carefully in his room, and asked Kong Jing directly if he didn't understand.

In the end, Hu Yiting determined that there was no problem with the three-year contract, and indeed gave Tong Mu the greatest autonomy in artistic creation. Not only does EMI allow the child to choose songs freely, but the company itself will recommend a batch of suitable works to the child from the purchased music library every year, but whether or not to adopt it depends entirely on the child's wishes.

In the work arrangement and external packaging publicity of the child pastor, Baidai will be responsible for all the publicity and packaging costs, but it is stipulated that the child must produce at least two new albums every year, each album is not less than eight new songs, in addition to the copyright of the song provided by the child for her belongs to the child herself, the child can retain the copyright of the work obtained by other means, that is to say, unless it is a song provided by the child, the copyright of other songs sung by the child is handled by the company. However, Baidai has the right to decide on its own to produce the so-called boutique collection for Tong Mu, as well as live videos and live records of concert scenes, all of which belong to Baidai, and the right is valid for three years as well as the contract, and Baidai shall not release new products after three years, but retain the re-copyright of old products for a period of five years.

In addition, the contract also stipulates that Tong Mu will hold no less than 15 concerts a year, and each concert can receive 10% of the concert ticket revenue as a commission.

It's just that the contract is more detailed in terms of the artist's private life, and requires EMI to send an exclusive staff member as Tong Mu's private secretary to supervise Tong Mu's performance of the contract, and for artists to receive advertisements and endorsements, they must communicate and negotiate with EMI to confirm that the advertisement will not damage the artist's public image before they can take over.

Kong Jing: "12 million Hong Kong dollars per year, from the date of signing the contract on September 1st, each time paid one year in advance, that is to say, as long as Tong Mu signs the contract, you can get a check of 12 million Hong Kong dollars at the signing ceremony on September 1st! This is 10 million yuan! After deducting 45% of the personal income tax, Tong Mu can net 5.5 million yuan a year! As far as I know, this is the highest signing money ever signed by a domestic artist! Such a large signing fee can be ranked in the top 20 even if it is placed in Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

Hu Yiting smiled, "I read a newspaper report that Chow Yun-fat made an endorsement for Nokia 2110 this year, and took 10 million Hong Kong dollars in advertising fees, gaining fame and fortune." In my opinion, Chongguang asked Tong Mu as our image spokesperson, which is 10 million yuan per year. ”

Tong Mu was taken aback, "What nonsense, I don't want your money, if you want me to advertise, I will help you do it for free, what are you giving me money for? Pay a lot of taxes for nothing!"

Kong Jing also smiled, "That's right, Brother Hu, didn't you send the money to the tax bureau? What do you and Tong Mu have to share with each other? If you have this money, you might as well make the advertisement more beautiful and put it on a big platform like CCTV, with a better broadcast time and higher frequency, which will also help Tong Mu increase his popularity and popularity." ”

Hu Yiting licked his lips and felt that what Kong Jing said made sense.

Kong Jing said with a smile: "After the signing of the contract, Tong Mu will be busy, and Mr. Zheng Donghan, President of Baidai Greater China, will also come to Beidu this time to meet with Tong Mu for a detailed discussion, saying that he hopes that Tong Mu will go to Hong Kong to develop for a period of time, and have more contact with the pop music industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and broaden his horizons." ”

Hu Yiting looked at Tong Mu: "I have no opinion, as long as you don't make her too tired." ”

Kong Jing said: "Before Tong Mu's four concerts, he only earned a total of more than 670,000 yuan, and he got 370,000 yuan after paying taxes, plus 600,000 yuan after tax for last year's tape and CD income dividends, a total of about 1 million."

So far this year, according to the statistics I got from Shenzhen audio-visual, the sales of Tong Mu's first two albums continued to grow, "Life with You" in the first seven months of this year tape shipments reached 700,000 copies, divided into about 900,000 yuan, CD shipments exceeded 100,000 copies, divided into about 800,000 yuan, "The First Time" sales were very hot, by the end of July had shipped more than 850,000 tapes, divided into about 1.09 million yuan, 120,000 CDs, divided into about 960,000 yuan.

In other words, in the first seven months of this year, the pre-tax income of child herdsmen was 3.75 million yuan, and the minimum income after paying individual income tax was 2.06 million yuan. ”

Hu Yiting's brows furrowed, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Kong Jing continued: "In addition, Shenzhen Audiovisual obtained a one-time royalty of 300,000 US dollars from PolyGram for the three-year overseas distribution rights of the album "Life with You", and this time sold the three-year overseas distribution rights of the "First" album to Polygram, this time it doubled, Polygram paid 600,000 US dollars, according to our original agreement, the income of overseas distribution rights can be shared by 20% to Tong Mu, that is to say, Tong Mu can get 180,000 US dollars, which is more than 1.4 million yuan, and 800,000 yuan after tax.

In addition, the VCD disc of the newly produced karaoke produced by Tong Mu this time was also released smoothly, and the sales were very good all over the country, especially in Hong Kong, Taiwan and big cities in China, and the sales of genuine copies reached more than 200,000 copies! A dividend of 8 yuan, Tong Mu could get more than 1.6 million yuan this time, and about 900,000 yuan after tax. ”

Hu Yiting waved his hand to signal Kong Jing to stop, and said suspiciously: "Lao Kong, according to what you say, I will calculate, Tong Mu debuted in the second half of last year, and until the first half of this year, he has received 4.76 million after tax!"

Kong Jing nodded stunnedly: "That's right." ”

Hu Yiting slapped his thigh angrily, "Then you still plan to sign a contract with Baidai! Isn't 12 million Hong Kong dollars 5.5 million yuan after tax! Tong Mu can earn about this amount a year without signing a contract now!"

Kong Jing said with a bitter face: "But people are big companies, if Tong Mu wants to become an international superstar, or an Asian superstar, it is not possible to jump to a big platform." ”

Hu Yiting reprimanded: "Nonsense! Lao Kong, you are stupid! Tong Mu now holds four concerts a year, and he is not too tired, he can earn so much, after joining Baidai, the concert share has dropped from 40% to 10% before, and he has to guarantee 15 concerts a year, isn't it even more tiring! But what about the income? There is no commission for record sales at all! Basically, he eats on dead wages, and such a contract is not happy for Baidai, and no one is happy to change it!"

Hu Yiting was a little angry and excited, and his brain was running at a high speed for a while, and he suddenly remembered that Faye Wong, the queen of heaven in his previous life, signed a contract with 60 million Hong Kong dollars when Hong Kong returned to Hong Kong in 97, so he said angrily: "How about Faye Wong? If Faye Wong joins Baidai, how much should you say?"

Kong Jing subconsciously said, "Faye Wong is so well-known, if you don't say anything, you will get 20 million Hong Kong dollars, right?"

Hu Yiting snorted disdainfully: "I think it's at least 50 million! Could it be that my wife is not as good as Faye Wong!"

Tong Mu pulled Hu Yiting's hand: "What do you say, of course I can't compare with Faye Wong, she is a senior, she has debuted for so many years, and her singing skills are better than mine." ”

Hu Yiting said angrily: "Are you a little confident, okay, I have written so many good songs for you, why are you inferior to her? Do you know that you want to be the first sister in the Chinese pop music scene? You have to have this domineering! Just like my heavy light is the king of China's IC industry! You have to fight for me! Be the queen of the Chinese pop music scene! Don't take yourself seriously!"

Tong Mu smiled vaguely and said to Kong Jing: "Teacher Kong, I'm sorry, Hu Yiting is like this, he can say whatever comes to mind, don't be angry." ”

Although the air conditioner of the Hu family was on at full capacity, Kong Jing was full of fine sweat, and wiped his forehead with his hand: "This ...... If you look at it this way...... It seems to be a little less...... But that's Momoyo, and this income is very stable...... And PolyGram's signing price is $1 million, while Sony only has NT$20 million......"

Hu Yiting said: "When was that? It was April, Tong Mu had just finished the Puhai concert, and the second album had just started to sell!"

Kong Jing knew that something bad was going to happen, and after thinking about it, he found that he was really a little confused, "Why don't I discuss it with Baidai again, call Mr. Zheng Donghan, and ask him to give 20 million?"

Hu Yiting waved his hand: "No need! I don't think there is any need to find someone else, Lao Kong! You say! If I ask you to set up a record company and run Tong Mu independently, will you be competent? If so, how much start-up capital do you need?"

Kong Jing was dumbfounded, his heart was beating wildly, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it will definitely work! Only three million, no, two million is enough!"

Hu Yiting shook his head: "I'll give you 10 million, if it's not enough, I'll add it to you, and in the future, Tong Mu's income will be divided into 20%, you can do it well!"

Kong Jing's throat rolled, and he couldn't speak for a while, so he had to focus his head.

Tong Mu pulled Hu Yiting's arm, "Hu Yiting!"

"Don't say it! I've decided! You listen to me!"

The child shepherd had to remain silent.
