Chapter 52: Cooperation

After signing a contract with Rainbow International, TVXQ took a one-year leave of absence, and then left school to receive artist training from Rainbow International. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hello Mr. Tang, I'm Su Cheng, the agent arranged by Rainbow International for TVXQ, it's a pleasure to meet you?" said a man in his thirties with a ponytail in Tang Song's office.

"Hello Mr. Su, these children will trouble you to take care of them in the future!" Although Tang Song said politely, his psychology had already been slandered, a big man tied a ponytail, isn't there a problem with his orientation, Tang Song began to worry about a few little fresh meat.

"Mr. Tang, you are too polite, as their agent, it is my job to take care of their daily life!" Su Cheng was very respectful to Tang and Song, and even used honorifics, "This time I came to Mr. Tang, mainly to talk about the issue of song licensing, TVXQ is currently very popular, so our company plans to strike while the iron is hot and launch the first album for them." ”

"Of course there's no problem, the three songs they sang during the competition were originally written for them, even if you use them well, I won't embarrass you about the copyright of the songs!" Tang Song waved his hand, not caring and said, "Of course, if you need to buy the copyright, you can directly quote a price, as long as it's about the same, it's no problem." ”

"Mr. Tang, as far as I know, you also wrote a song "Mama" for TVXQ, which was originally prepared for the finals, but later changed to "First Snow" because Li Zhanfeng was injured and couldn't dance, we hope to package these four songs directly at a price of 150,000 yuan, I don't know if Mr. Tang is satisfied with this price?" asked Su Cheng.

The price of a song in the industry ranges from 3,000 to 30,000, the price of the song does not depend on the quality of the song, but is greatly affected by the fame of the creator, although Tang and Song's fame is very high, but he is also a newcomer, Rainbow International buys song authorization at an average price of 150,000 or 4 songs, which is already beyond the industry standard, you must know that Tang and Song sent Li Na's "Mo", Hongye Entertainment only gave 20,000 yuan of "pen fee".

For this price, Tang Song was already so satisfied that he couldn't do it, but he thought of a question.

"May I ask, what is your company's plan for their album, is it just for the domestic market, or are you planning to try something for the foreign market?" Tang Song asked curiously.

"The domestic market is definitely our top priority, and Dongfang God has the potential to be a high-quality idol, so the company's current plan is to select a few songs to hit the charts in the Japanese and Korean markets, see how the market reflects and then decide whether to enter the Japanese and Korean markets, and if the performance in the Japanese and Korean markets is excellent, we will consider pushing it in Southeast Asia!" Regarding this problem, Su Cheng did not have reservations about Tang and Song, but briefly introduced the company's plan.

"I have an idea, if TVXQ makes all this album by me, I don't know what price you Rainbow International is willing to pay?" Tang Song's question made Su Cheng stunned for a few seconds.

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean by you making it all up to you?" Su Cheng asked.

"I mean that I wrote all the songs on the whole album, and I also had to participate in the arrangement and recording, and of course the arrangement and recording must be coordinated by the professionals of your company, and if I want to shoot the MV, I hope to shoot it according to my ideas. Tang Song explained.

"This ......," Sioux City hesitated, "I'm afraid it will affect our company's planning." ”

"So I just asked you about your plans, if you want to hit the charts in Japan and South Korea, I can provide Japanese songs and Korean songs!" Tang Song said with a smile.

"I need to report this to the company's leaders, this is not something I can call the shots, please forgive me. Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and finally replied.

"No problem, you can ask first, if you just want to buy four songs, I don't have a problem with the price of 150,000!" Tang Song gave Su Cheng a reassurance.

Su Cheng quickly reflected Tang Song's opinions, and Tang Song's opinions also caused a lot of controversy within Rainbow International, and Tang Song was not very clear about the process in the middle, but a few days later, Ye Fei, the director of the artist department who had been in contact with Tang Song, personally led the team to find Tang Song.

"Mr. Tang, our company attaches great importance to the comments you made last time, can you tell me in detail?" After a brief greeting, Ye Fei went straight to the topic.

"I think so, TVXQ is the most popular right now, and the shorter the new album is released, the better, but I believe that even if Rainbow International is the first-line entertainment company in China, the quality of the songs received in a hurry is not necessarily better than what I wrote, so I think if this album is handed over to me, it may be better than you guys. Tang Song explained.

Although the Tang and Song dialects are not good, Ye Fei has to admit that what Tang and Song said makes sense, if the first album of TVXQ is really launched with quality and quantity, it is impossible to collect a sufficient number of high-quality songs in half a year, and it is difficult to say how much popularity TVXQ has accumulated at that time, which is why the decision-makers finally compromised and let Ye Fei contact Tang and Song.

"Mr. Tang, then how do you ensure the quality of the album?" Ye Fei asked his own question.

"I don't think you need to worry too much about this, I have written a few songs now, how my level is you should have an assessment in your heart, I can guarantee that the overall quality of the songs on this album will be satisfactory, after all, they are brought out by me, compared to you, I hope they can succeed, don't you?" Tang Song smiled.

"Teacher Tang, what I want is your words!" Ye Fei smiled, within Rainbow International, he was inclined to cooperate with Tang Song, otherwise it would not be him who came to contact Tang Song in the end, "Then now we can negotiate the issue of remuneration." ”

"I don't know what the rules are in the industry, I don't know what kind of cooperation method you Rainbow International is willing to propose?" Tang Song only knew this kind of cooperation, and in the end it was in accordance with the sharing agreement, and the specific sharing ratio was not clear, kicking the ball back, Tang Song was not worried that Rainbow International would pit itself on this issue.

"We Rainbow International rarely have this form of cooperation with a third party, I also inquired before this, under normal circumstances, this form of cooperation is in accordance with the sharing agreement, that is to say, the sales share after the album is sold, if Mr. Tang has no opinion, we can also follow this model. Ye Fei said with a smile.

"Of course, this is more reasonable, if I make a good album, then the sales will be high, my score is relatively high, and the album is not good, this is very reasonable!" Tang Song nodded in response.

"That's good, the specific details can be agreed on slowly now......"
