Chapter 083: It's Great
The female executive said: "According to what Lao Ding said just now, according to the calculation of the starting sales of one million, the share ratio can be given him a little more, anyway, zero multiplied by any number is still zero, he can't participate in the dividend at all, and this agreement is equivalent to a piece of waste paper." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info...... However, we can also tell him that if the sales volume is less than one million, we can still give him a red envelope and not let him work in vain. But how big the red envelope is, not only depends on the quality of the song, but also depends on our mood, which is an extra gift from us, not our obligation. In this case, we will be considered to have done our duty. ”
General Manager Zhang Huicheng said categorically: "Okay, it's decided." We have to hurry up, we have to rehearse by 8 o'clock this evening, and around 10 o'clock in the evening is the rehearsal time for Zhou Yan, we have to hurry up. If we can't listen to this song, Zhou Yan will continue to sing his "Gray Camel". ”
Shu Yi, who was far away in Nanling County, didn't expect that the company would really agree to give Meng Wentian a share contract, and also raise the base to one million, but he was relieved when he heard the company's boss say that no matter what the sales volume was, the company would give Meng Wentian a red envelope.
In his opinion, Meng Wentian's income from this song is estimated to be this red envelope with no limited amount and all according to the wishes of the company's executives.
Of course, he also believes that the company's red envelope will not be small, because this song "The Most Dazzling National Style" is so good, if the album is released, although the sales will not be as high as more than 900,000, but there should be four or five hundred thousand, and it will definitely not delay the average sales of the album.
Through bargaining, under the mediation of Shu Yi, the "middleman", the two parties determined that the base number of the album was one million. Then dividends are distributed in different proportions according to single albums and ordinary albums. Because the single album has only one song, it is in the nature of trial marketing, and the sales volume is generally not large, so Meng Wentian's dividend ratio is much higher:
If it exceeds 1 million, the excess part will be given to Meng Wentian at 10% of the gross profit, and if it exceeds 2 million, all the part exceeding 1 million will be divided into 13% of the gross profit.
Because ordinary albums generally contain more than ten songs, the dividend ratio of Meng Wentian's song is relatively low. If the album sells more than one million, the excess part will be given to Meng Wentian at three percent of the gross profit, and if it exceeds two million, all the part over one million will be given to him at five percent of the gross profit.
That is, each album has two gears, and the dividend ratio of more than 2 million is even higher than that of famous lyricists and composers.
In the eyes of the executives of Tianji Media Company, these numbers are definitely pies drawn in the air by their hands, and they have no practical meaning.
But they don't know that this dividend ratio is a glittering jewel in Meng Wentian's heart: I don't believe that the songs that are popular with more than a billion people on the earth are not popular here. What is a million sales? I believe two million is more.
If the copyright transfer method of Tianji Media Company has formed a practice today, if you sell songs in the future, you can completely follow this agreement, and even increase the share ratio appropriately after becoming famous in the future.
That's so beautiful!
Because Shu Yi came with a power of attorney from Tianji Media Company, after the legal department of Tianji Media Company sent the electronic document of the contract, Shu Yi printed it out, made four copies, and then signed his name in the corresponding position.
Meng Wentian took the four contract documents and quickly signed them, and then handed the contract to Yao Xiaoyan.
"I want to sign it too?" asked Yao Xiaoyan in surprise, very excited.
Meng Wentian said: "Nonsense, you are one of the main composers, how can you sell this song if you don't sign me?"
Yao Xiaoyan looked at the contract paper with round eyes: I haven't signed a contract since I was a child, and I don't know what a contract is, but now looking at these ink-scented papers, my little heart is pounding, I glanced at Shu Yi, and whispered to Meng Wentian: "I...... I only did a little bit of it, and it didn't ...... at all."
Meng Wentian said: "Are you worried that there will be a lot of money when the time comes, and it will be hot to pick up?"
Yao Xiaoyan's face flushed, and she said shyly: "No, I'm just...... Just shouldn't take your money......"
Shu Yi next to him smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have money, or his money, it won't reach one million anyway, and the CD is zero, so you can sign it." Hehe, whoever asked him to sign such a contract is simply pushing the money out. …… Originally, I said that I would write the red envelope into the contract as a guaranteed honorarium, whether the album is released or not, our company will give you a sum of money. But he was good, he deliberately pretended to be high, and he didn't even want this money. Where is it so easy to have a million, a million platinum album, even the current popular singer Tan Yanyan may not dare to pat her chest and say that her album can reach the platinum level every time. I'm really convinced!"
Meng Wentian said: "Don't be verbose. …… , Yao Xiaoyan, hurry up and sign. I signed it early, and I faxed the song over early so that they could rehearse it early. If you really want to delay the time, you won't be able to see it at the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow night. ”
Yao Xiaoyan thought that the song she participated in creating could be sung by Zhou Yan, and she might be on the Spring Festival Gala, she became excited again, and said happily while signing: "It's great that it can be sung by Zhou Yan and be on the Spring Festival Gala." I'll call my mom and tell her to watch the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow......"
Seeing Yao Xiaoyan finish signing, Shu Yi quickly put away the agreement and put it in the briefcase he was carrying, and then stretched out his hand to Meng Wentian and said, "Where's the song?"
Meng Wentian first folded a contract with the names of both parties and put it in his pocket, then took out the piece of paper with "The Most Dazzling National Style" written on it from another pocket and handed it to Shu Yi, and said: "Today I am in the duty room of the auto repair factory, you are almost rehearsing, it is best for me to listen to it, I can give you some advice." ”
Shu Yi laughed and said, "You give meaning to our company's experts? Haha, you're too cowy, aren't you?"
Yao Xiaoyan was very embarrassed and said: "Wentian, their company must have experts, and their ability to notate, compose music, and sight-sing is definitely much stronger than ours." You...... We ......"
Meng Wentian said disappreciatively: "Brainstorming, I may not be able to put forward a little useful advice?...... Who would have thought I could hum this song before today, wouldn't it?"
The reason why Meng Wentian is so confident is because he has various ways to sing this song on the earth in his memory, whether it is a large stage, a concert, MTV and an album, he has samples in his mind. He doesn't have much knowledge of musical techniques, but he has a good memory and can compare the good and bad songs sung by Zhou Yan with the original songs of the earth. If Zhou Yan's rehearsal was not as good as the singing on earth, he could have pointed out some of the shortcomings, or where the singing was not good, and where the accompaniment should be changed.
Shu Yi said: "Can you hum it and think that you have great musical literacy? ”
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Meng Wentian didn't bother to say more, just smiled, waved to Yao Xiaoyan and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat, I'll have a treat!"
Shu Yi quickly ran towards the printing shop outside, and he wanted to immediately fax the song in his hand to the headquarters of Tianji Media.
When Meng Wentian, Yao Xiaoyan, and Shu Yi were having dinner in a small restaurant, the headquarters of Tianji Media was in a mess.
A woman in her thirties walked over angrily and asked Shu Heng dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Shu, did you really buy a song for high school students to sing for Teacher Zhou?"
Shu Heng handed her the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, give it! …… , I just watched it, and it's very good. The lyrics are good, the melody is even better. ”
The woman didn't take the paper he handed over, and said angrily: "Hmph, what's wrong, what's wrong, your purpose is actually to want Miss Yuan to go to the Spring Festival Gala together, right?...... , Mr. Zhou told me that he still hopes to sing "Gray Camel", at least he can get an entry ticket for the Spring Festival Gala. …… , no matter how good a high school student's writing is, we don't dare to use it, if it is brushed down by the director team, Mr. Zhou's popularity doesn't know how much it will drop. ”
