Chapter 53: Album Songs
"I hope we have a good time working together!" After signing the final contract, Ye Fei got up and shook hands with Tang Song in a friendly manner!
Regarding the details of the contract, neither side had too much entanglement in the issue of interests, so the various treaties were quickly drawn up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the contract, Tang and Song Dynasty needed to provide ten songs, including "Trap", "History", "MAMA" and "First Snow", to create TVXQ's first album, and all the songs of the album and the dance copyright attached to the songs belonged to Rainbow International. The price paid by Rainbow International is 150,000 yuan in cash and a share of the album's sales in the coming year after its release.
The sales share is divided into two aspects, one is the physical album sales share, and the other is the online sales share.
In terms of physical sales sharing, for every album sold, Tang and Song can get a dollar after tax. In fact, with the development of the Internet in the past two years, physical sales have been greatly impacted, generally only die-hard fans will buy physical albums for collection, physical albums can sell more than 100,000 or 200,000 copies have reached the top, and the cost of physical albums is too high, although the price of a single album is more than 100, but in addition to the cost of publicity, channels and other aspects, the actual profit is not high, and the share of a dollar after tax in the Tang and Song dynasties is not low.
Online sales account for the majority, but according to the agreement between Rainbow Entertainment and the network download base station, thirty percent of the song download income is used as website maintenance costs, and Rainbow International can only get seventy percent, and the contract stipulates that Tang Song will receive three layers of income after tax, that is to say, the songs in this album, every time someone downloads them, Tang Song can get three cents, and this income is actually more than Rainbow International.
Before signing the agreement, Tang Song asked Ye Fei, according to this contract, wouldn't the big head be taken by himself in the end, and Ye Fei's answer was very domineering, very rainbow international!
"The album is just a small amount of money, and what we at Rainbow International focus on is not how much money we make from the album, but how much popularity this album can bring to TVXQ and how many advertising endorsements it can bring to TVXQ! Compared with tens of millions of advertising endorsement fees, the profit from album sales is only a small amount! ”
For this answer, Tang Song was speechless, his feelings gave him such good conditions, but Rainbow International gave himself a sip of soup to drink when he ate meat. In fact, Rainbow International intends to use the interests they don't look down on to let Tang Song ensure the quality of the album.
This kind of behavior is a win-win situation, although it makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but Rainbow International's willingness to give Tang and Song this soup is already a conscience, don't talk about soup in some small companies, it's not bad if you don't exploit you!
After deciding to help TVXQ release an album, Tang Song also began to think about the content of the album. First of all, four of the ten songs on the album have been confirmed, "Trap", "History", "MAMA", and "First Snow" are all sung by five people, Tang Song plans to add another "Roar" from EXO, and there are several considerations for choosing these five songs.
In addition to the Chinese version, these five songs also have Japanese versions and Korean versions, and if you want to hit the charts in Japan and South Korea, you can just use the Japanese and Korean versions, which is mainly to save trouble. In addition, in addition to "First Snow" in these five songs, the dance of the other four songs does not need to be bothered by Tang and Song.
The remaining five songs, Tang Song, do not plan to follow this pattern again, but plan to prepare a single for everyone. There are few groups in the world that last forever, and no matter how good the relationship is, the group may disband in the future for various reasons.
Don't look at TVXQ's five young people who have such a good relationship now, that's because they are still young now, and after a few years, their thinking will be more mature, and there will inevitably be contradictions in the face of some interests, and Tang Song is not clear how long TVXQ can exist as a group, but as a teacher, Tang Song hopes that even if they are disbanded in the future, everyone can have a good development, and write a song for each of them, that is, I hope that each of them will have their own masterpieces.
First of all, Ma Guang, Ma Guang is good at hip-hop rap style, in the previous songs, the main rap part is in charge of Ma Guang, so Tang Song chose this style of song for him, after some consideration, Tang Song finally chose "24 Billy" from Pan Wilber, this song has a strong sense of rhythm, and the melody is also very good, relatively speaking, the requirements for rap are a little higher, which is more suitable for Ma Guang's style.
Of course, the name of this song "24 Proportions" comes from a documentary novel that writes about multiple personality splits, and this novel is not available in this world, if you use this name again, it will inevitably be inexplicable, Tang Song wrote down the score and lyrics, and wrote the three words "Who am I" in the position of the song title!
Wu Xinqiu's style is no style, if you must say that he has any characteristics, compared to others, he studied Peking Opera for a few years when he was a child, but the level is not enough, choosing songs for him is actually more nerve-wracking, "BJ One Night" He can't sing, although "The Drunken Concubine" also has a part of the opera, but he can't sing that level, after thinking for a long time, the name of a song entered Tang Song's mind, and finally Tang Song wrote another name in his manuscript: "Three Kingdoms Love"!
Deng Wenjun is now the most popular among TVXQ, and there is no way to make him handsome! Although Deng Wenjun's voice is not distinctive, he has a strong grasp of intonation, this kind of person is not obvious when he sings fast songs, but he often performs very well when he sings very slow songs.
In fact, in Tang Song's opinion, the song "I Do" can best reflect his characteristics, but the vocal range of this song is not Deng Wenjun's level can reach, such a good song Tang Song naturally does not want to be ruined by Deng Wenjun, and finally after serious thinking, Tang Song wrote the third name in the manuscript: "Love Corner"!
Peng Wenlong and Li Zhanfeng's abilities are the best among the five, although the limelight of the two of them in the combination of TVXQ is not prominent, and they are not even as good as Deng Wenjun, but Tang Song still prefers these two people in his heart.
Li Zhanfeng is a more energetic person, when choosing songs for him, Tang and Song still chose fast songs, and the range of choices is very wide, but in the end, Tang and Song chose "It's Me" from Lin Junjie. The song also has a strong sense of rhythm and is more individual, which matches his image better.
Peng Wenlong is a liberal arts student, and he usually feels more like a literati, and the song in the form of "It's Me" is obviously not suitable for him, and in the end, Tang and Song chose "Big City and Little Love" from Wang Leehom for him. Peng Wenlong, a self-regarded literati, has a lot of opinions on the lyrics of several songs written before the Tang and Song dynasties, and the lyrics of "Big City and Little Love" are beautifully written, this time there should be nothing to say!
In the end, the ten songs of the album were finally decided: "Trap", "History", "MAMA", "First Snow", "Roar", "Who Am I", "Three Kingdoms Love", "Love Corner", "It's Me", "Big City, Little Love"!
