Chapter 0107: Cooperation
Wu Tian had already made up his mind in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "I like Director Cameron's movies very much, his "Terminator" series, "Alien" series, and "True Lies" are very exciting, I like it very much, and I am very much looking forward to his new movie." ”
Seeing this, Joseph was pleasantly surprised and felt that success was just around the corner, so he hurriedly added to the fire, "MR Wu, Cameron is a famous director, and we also have a good cooperation with him. We've analyzed that you and Celine Dion sang the song "My Heart Will Go On" together, and you can show its beauty without any regrets, and we can release a choral version and then license it to Cameron's movie, I think this song and Cameron's movie will definitely complement each other and become an eternal classic. ”
"Yes, I'm looking forward to working with you. ”
Celine Dion said with a smile that it was because she liked this song that she took the initiative to invite Ying to meet Wu Tian, and seeing that Wu Tian was from China, her interest was even stronger.
For many foreigners, Huaxia is a country full of magic, with many people and things to look at.
And now, in Celine Dion's view, Wu Tian in front of him is an oriental young man full of magic.
Lucas tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "I want to remind you that the song "My Heart Will Go On" is Charlie's heartfelt work, his voice from the depths of his soul. ”
Joseph nodded and smiled, "Of course, in MR Wu's album, this song is the title song, and it is sung by Mr. Wu solo. Only the version given to Cameron is a chorus. ”
Wu Tian thought for a while and put forward his own request, "Joseph, I feel the sincerity of your company, and I am very grateful. But I have two ideas that I hope to get your approval, the first is the time to sign the contract, and I don't want it to be too long. The second is that I signed a contract with you, which is limited to the English songs I write and sing, and does not include the songs I write in other languages. Third, I would like royalties to be priced on a sales tier, with quarterly payments. ”
Raising these three questions actually means that Wu Tian intends to sign a contract with the other party.
Joseph understood this, he was very excited, and in the process of communicating with Wu Tian and Lucas, he even had some new promotion measures.
He thought for a moment and said: "For the three questions you raised, the first is the time of signing, in fact, we hope to be able to sign a 1+6 exclusive contract with you, so that we can have more time, energy and confidence to build it with all our might, but if you insist, then we have to sign at least 1+3 exclusive contract, of course, the initial royalty will also be adjusted to 18%. The second question, we can fully accept. The third question, combined with the first point I just mentioned, is that we can agree on a royalty upgrade clause, which is 18% for the initial royalty, which will increase by 1% as long as the record reaches half a million copies sold, up to a maximum of 25%. ”
Wu Tian was quite satisfied with his answer, in fact, for a large company like Columbia, it is already very preferential to give such conditions, and it is completely the treatment of a first-line star.
Then, Lucas put forward several requirements for the details of the cooperation on behalf of Wu Tian: First, Wu Tian writes no more than 15 songs per year, which means that he can create a total of up to 60 English songs during the entire exclusive contract period. The second is that the songs created and sung by Wu Tian must be authorized to be used by a third party, with Wu Tian's consent. Third, in addition to album royalties, all other performance royalties and synchronous royalties must be paid according to the proportion of album royalties in the same period.
Joseph and Jack discussed Lucas's additional points, and then agreed.
So far, the two sides have basically reached an intention to cooperate.
Next, Wu Tian took out the other eight English songs he brought, although the sound effect of the CD player was not good, but as soon as these eight songs were released, Joseph's face showed an excited look.
These songs, as Wu Tian said in the email, are almost on the same level as the two songs on the AMG website.
Joseph pierced his blue eyes and said excitedly: "Charlie, your songs are so good, I am simply fascinated by them, these music really come from the depths of the soul, making people forget time and everything, I believe that they will be passed on forever in the long river of music." ”
Celine Dion stroked her forehead with her hand and sighed: "God, I'm really lucky to hear such a beautiful singing, Charlie, I have a hunch that after your song is released, it will completely dominate the sales charts, and I even start to be jealous of you." ”
Even Jack, the legal counsel who was serious from beginning to end, nodded in shock, "It's a shame to put such a beautiful song in one album." We may be witnessing the birth of a record that breaks all historical records, and that record may remain for a long, long time, or even never be surpassed. ”
Joseph's assistant Doris looked at Wu Tian's gaze, full of admiration, her face was a little red with excitement, and she exclaimed again and again: "Only God's favorite can write such good songs, my God, I can imagine the crazy feeling when people hear these songs." ”
Wu Tian is very satisfied with everyone's reaction, these ten songs are classic songs he has selected, each of which has passed the test of time, it is a classic among the classics, and any one of them will be loved by countless people.
Lucas was also very excited, he once again revalued the value of Wu Tian in his heart, Wu Tian will definitely become a new star in the music industry of the country soon, and he and he first cooperated, and they will definitely continue to cooperate in the future.
After Wu Tian signed a contract with the company, the company will also arrange special brokers and lawyer service personnel, and a special team will package, build and promote Wu Tian.
However, Wu Tian himself must also have a legal adviser, who can act as his representative and handle many things for him.
Lucas has the intention to maintain long-term cooperation with Wu Tian and become Wu Tian's long-term legal counsel, not only because Wu Tian is generous, but also because Wu Tian obviously has incomparably brilliant development prospects.
After listening to all of Wu Tian's songs, Joseph decided to give Wu Tian an advance payment of 500,000 yuan.
Of course, this advance payment will be deducted from Wu Tian's royalties in the future.
can make such a high advance payment, which is already the price of a big-name singer.
Wu Tian had no opinion on this, and on the whole, he was satisfied with Joseph and believed that he would be able to cooperate happily in the future.
Subsequently, the two sides confirmed the relevant details of the cooperation, and after Lucas's review, Wu Tian signed the memorandum recorded by Doris.
After Joseph finished signing, he shook hands with Wu Tian and said, "Charlie, at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, we will officially sign a cooperation agreement, and at the same time discuss how to better promote it." Your identity, perhaps, is a good topic for many listeners, and we need to make good use of that. Tomorrow you have a day off, and you can ask Doris to accompany you to the beach and to Hollywood......"
Celine Dion smiled: "I'm free tomorrow, I can accompany you to meet my friends and let them listen to your songs......"
