Chapter 1244: Top Records in the World!
The message was sent an hour ago, and after Ye Wenxuan saw the news, he immediately called Ran Yirou back.
"Sister Yirou, is there something urgent?"
"It's not a matter of urgency, but there is something that you need to decide, who knows that you can't get through to the phone, you say that you want to go to the UK to study, why didn't I see that you went to study, day by day it was a lot of fun, and it was a luxury cruise, and an island feast ......"
Ran Yirou was slightly resentful, obviously stimulated by Ye Wenxuan's happy little life every day.
"Ahem, Sister Yirou, I'm really studying. It's just a little relaxation in the process of studying, a combination of work and rest!" Ye Wenxuan said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll clean you up when you get back. After Ran Yirou finished speaking, she became serious: "Today, Warner Records, Universal Music, and Sony Records are all here, and they want to release your next album with us, and we are currently talking, they are very sincere and determined." ”
When Ye Wenxuan heard this, the smile on his face was put away, and his brows were slightly lame.
"Where did they get the news?" Ye Wenxuan asked in wonder.
"The news I released, you are now more than halfway through the production of the album, it's time to find an ally, although I know that the quality of your album is very good, but the sales of an album, in addition to the quality, the early publicity is also particularly important. Ran Yi judo.
Ye Wenxuan bowed slightly, what Ran Yirou said was indeed right, if you want to catch up with the Grammys in October this year, there is really not much time left for Ye Wenxuan.
The Grammys will present awards in October, but the Grammys will nominate two months in advance, and after the nomination, there will be many review projects such as review, shortlist, and final, so there is really not a lot of time.
It's already March, and there are only five months left until the August nominations.
It takes a month and a half for external distribution, plus the preliminary preparation and burning work, it also takes a lot of time, so there is really not much time left for early publicity.
Ye Wenxuan also realized the urgency of time and became serious.
Warner Records, Universal Records, Sony Records, the three world's top record companies, all threw branches to Ye Wenxuan.
Ye Wenxuan's last album "Xuan Era", Ye Wenxuan cooperated with Universal Records, of course, it is only a branch of Universal Asia, not a real Universal Records.
Of these three major records, if you say who Ye Wenxuan has the closest relationship with, of course, it is Warner Records, because Times Group and Warner Group are allies, and Warner Records is a subsidiary of Warner Group.
However, the relationship is close, and who to choose in the end depends on the bidding situation of the three.
"Sister Yirou, have you talked to them?" Ye Wenxuan asked.
"After chatting, I also have a general understanding of their conditions, and I will tell you about it. Of course, this is not the final condition, and there is still a lot of room for negotiation. ”
"Warner Records: They are willing to share fifty-fifty with us, and they are willing to provide promotional resources for world-class kings, which is very sincere. ”
"Universal Music is also willing to share with us six or four, we are six and four, and at the same time, they may promise the publicity resources of the world-class king. It's just that they have one thing attached to it, they want the cassette rights to your album. ”
Hearing this, Ye Wenxuan secretly sneered, feeling that Universal was really a little ridiculous. With a profit of 10%, I want to take away the tape copyright of Ye Wenxuan's album, I'm afraid that I won't wake up.
It's the age of digital music, and tapes are really obsolete. As far as Huaxia is concerned, tapes are a thing of the past, and almost no one listens to music on tapes.
But this is China, one of the two great powers in the world!
In many economically underdeveloped parts of the world, the mainstream way for them to listen to music is still the old way, and they still listen to music on tape.
There are hundreds of such countries and regions.
The sale of tapes in hundreds of countries and regions, converted into real money, is a fortune that is enough to make people crazy, and how can it be equivalent to making a profit on the album?
How many people have eaten for a lifetime with the fire of an album. How many people have eaten a lifetime with the fire of a song.
What does it depend on, that is, all kinds of copyright income, copyright is the most important thing!
"Sony's conditions are much worse than those of Universal and Warner, they are divided into six and four, they are six, we are four, and they also promise to give the publicity resources of the world-class king. ”
"That's what their general conditions are, and of course there's a lot of room for negotiation, but the difference shouldn't be too huge. Now that you're done, tell me what you think. Ran Yirou asked.
Ye Wenxuan groaned and said, "First of all, Sony's share ratio is too low, so pass it directly, unless he can increase the share ratio." ”
"The second is Universal, they want the copyright of the tape, you can directly refuse them, the copyright is resolutely not sold, any copyright is resolutely not sold, this is the principle. ”
"At present, the most sincere should be Warner Records, but the proportion is slightly lower, we are competing for seven and six, in terms of publicity resources, you can tell them that they don't need to intervene in this aspect of Asia, we can do it ourselves. ”
Ye Wenxuan simply analyzed the three record companies, ranked one, two, and three, and also told Ran Yirou about his expected income.
"Well, you are similar to what I thought, although the conditions of the world seem to be generous, but in fact, it is simply selling dog meat in sheep's clothing, and the copyright is resolutely not sold, this principle is very correct. Ran Yirou agreed with Ye Wenxuan's point of view.
"As for Warner Records, if you want to fight for seven and six, I don't think it's realistic. They will give sixty percent of the net profit share if they die, after all, the consumption of the propaganda resources of the world-class heavenly king is indeed very large, if they only let them take thirty percent, it is simply impossible. ”
In terms of the conditions of Warner Records, Ran Yirou did not agree with Ye Wenxuan's suggestion, because this did not conform to the principle of capital at all, and unprofitable traders would not do it.
"Well, so what I'm talking about is fighting for seven and six, if you can't get it, it doesn't matter, but sixty percent is the bottom line, and you must win it. Ye Wenxuan responded.
"I've talked to them about the same, but I think it's better for you to come forward and talk to them, do you have time on that side? If you have time, how about we have a video conference?" Ran Yirou asked.
When Ye Wenxuan heard this, he looked up at the time, and the time was half past ten in Avalon Island time. The difference between Avalon Island and Keihoku time is six hours, and Keihoku time is half past four in the afternoon.
"I have plenty of time here, give me half an hour to eat, and we're good to go. Ye Wenxuan said with a smile.
