Chapter 082: Really Give Him a Share?
Yao Xiaoyan didn't know where his confidence came from, she didn't doubt that this song was popular, but she felt that it was too difficult for the album to sell 900,000 copies, and it couldn't be reached at all, let alone Meng Wentian made money from it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that this song is his, and he is only one of his classmates at present, so he has no right to put his beak at all.
At this time, she didn't know that Meng Wentian had signed her name "Xiaoyan" as the composer of this song.
She said helplessly, "Okay. Since you don't care about money, then I won't talk about it. …… , if you can really get on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, even if you don't have money, you can earn it, and the total score of 20 points in the college entrance examination is not something that can be bought for 20,000 yuan. ”
Meng Wentian smiled: "Don't say that, this song has your share, and you are also a creator." If you don't make money, you've worked hard today. ”
Yao Xiaoyan looked at Meng Wentian and said, "What does it have to do with me? I just helped you a little, I didn't create anything at all, at most I was a recorder." Besides, I didn't work in vain, didn't I appreciate your songs, didn't I realize that you actually have a talent for singing? ”
Meng Wentian said seriously: "If you really make money this time, you can get twenty percent of the profit from it......"
Yao Xiaoyan hurriedly said, "I don't want it!"
Meng Wentian said: "It must be." You're the composer of the song, and you should have given you at least half of it, but considering you didn't put in much creative effort, you were only given a fifth of the proceeds. ”
Yao Xiaoyan insisted: "I really don't want it!"
Meng Wentian said: "It's so decided! Your name 'Xiaoyan' has been signed on the paper, and you arrange the music and I will fill in the lyrics." ”
Yao Xiaoyan was taken aback: "Ah, the author of the composition is my name? No, no, I don't have ...... at all."
Meng Wentian said categorically: "Don't fight, now that the song hasn't started to be sung on stage, isn't it embarrassing for us to fight back and forth? If you didn't record the score, and I wouldn't have been able to compose it without you playing and revising it on the piano." I thought about everything, and I didn't give you anything more. Besides, didn't you say I can't make money? So why do you care about this ratio? I still need your help with my future songs, and you don't want to shirk it when the time comes. ”
Yao Xiaoyan felt more and more that this guy was a very strong and domineering guy, and she couldn't help but beat a little drum in her heart, and wanted to continue refusing, but seeing his resolute eyes, she had no choice but to say, "Okay then." But my name can only be signed after your name, and the composer must have you. Even if you want to give me shares, it will be up to 10 percent, which is my bottom line!"
Meng Wentian saw that she was also very resolute, so he said: "That's okay, ten percent is ten percent, anyway, you don't lack money to spend." As for the composer's name, it will be signed by both of us, but your name must come first. In this way, I have a shield, in case someone discusses the song or something with me, and finds out that I, the main creator, don't we lose face?
Hearing Meng Wentian say this, Yao Xiaoyan no longer insisted: Anyway, if this song becomes popular, it will not hurt him to add a person to the author column, and he can share its benefits, and he can add points when he takes the college entrance examination. And to divide the profits brought by this song or something, in her opinion, there is no need to think about it at all, zero is still zero no matter how it is divided. After more than 900,000 copies, Meng Wentian can't share a lot of money, even if it is platinum.
What's more, Zhou Yan's current state and popularity are unlikely to reach the platinum level.
Seeing Meng Wentian so strongly listing himself as a composer, Yao Xiaoyan's heart was full of happiness, and he felt that his strength was not bad.
At this time, in a luxury office building in the capital, several CEOs of Tianji Media Company listened to a young man talking about what Shu Yi said on the phone.
An executive sarcastically said, "There are more than 900,000 single albums?
Another executive said, "Otherwise, we'll sign him that way." Since he took the initiative not to want this copyright buyout fund, then we won't give it to him. ”
Shu Yi's brother Shu Heng objected: "What if, what if our album exceeds 900,000 or even really reaches platinum? Is it really going to give him 10% of the gross profit income? I have heard this song, although I have not heard it completely, but it is really good, it is definitely a good song, and it is very likely to be popular in the music world." ”
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Shu Yi to Meng Wentian today.
Zhang Huicheng, the boss of the company, nodded and said: "Yes, what should I do? In case it really passes 900,000 sheets, we will give him money nothing, anyway, after subtracting the base number of 900,000, there will definitely not be many left, but in this case, it will give other authors an excuse." We haven't signed any sharing agreement with a little-known person, and it will be a lot of trouble for us to buy the copyright in the future, especially those slightly famous lyricists and composers who are still rushing to sign such an agreement? These guys are very arrogant, they all think that the music they compose and the lyrics they write are of a master's level, and they all think that their songs can sell unprecedented sales, and they are not convinced that there are no facts in front of them. ”
Zhang Huicheng paused for a moment, and then said: "Besides, if the sales volume does not exceed 900,000, although the contract stipulates that we will not pay him a penny, but this sales figure is not small, even if it only sells 500,000, we can't really take this song for nothing, right? The sales of 500,000 yuan are half platinum, and second-tier singers can't get it." If he doesn't pay for hundreds of thousands of sales, it will reach the ears of outsiders, and others will not say that we are not kind to Tianji Media? Even if we have a contract, people will say that we bully high school students. Are we going to lose such a big face for a few thousand yuan, less than 10,000 yuan in copyright fees?"
An executive said disapprerovingly: "Now it's not that we don't give it, it's this kid who doesn't want it, it's his greed." In order to prevent us from buying out the copyright of his song at one time, he even quoted a price of 500,000 yuan, making it clear that he wanted to bet with us. I think I signed it according to his intentions. However, if you're worried that the song might be a big hit and sell more than we all expected, then we're going to raise the starting number to one million. Other authors want to share, okay, as long as they dare to promise more than a million sales, we will sign with them!"
Shu Heng's eyes widened and asked: "One million? How is it possible? The highest sales of ordinary albums released by the national entertainment industry this year are only 2.4 million copies, and there are less than five ordinary albums with more than 2 million copies.
The executive who spoke just now smiled: "Since we can't reach it, then we can't sit back and relax?...... , Mr. Zhang, what do you think?...... , people dare to report 900,000, sure that he has more than one million expectations in his heart, so we coax him to come. ”
Zhang Huicheng smiled and said, "But it's not kind to do this, right? This kid shouldn't agree." The possibility of exceeding 900,000 is almost zero, and if we raise it to 1 million, won't we swallow up his 100,000 sales share. ”
The executive said, "If the kid wants to play like this, we'll do what he wants." It's a big deal that we increase the proportion of the split a little bit, anyway, zero multiplication is at most zero. ”
A female executive who had not spoken all this time sighed and said, "It's useless to say all this. In the end, it was his song that was good. If you really want a good song, this time it can be well received at the Spring Festival Gala, even if its album can't sell 500,000 in the future, we can give him a big red envelope. If he can write a good song, maybe he can write two or three. It is good for us to have a good relationship with him. …… But if his song doesn't work, what's the point of discussing it now?"
Zhang Huicheng smiled bitterly: "Of course we understand this truth, the problem is that if we don't come up with an agreement, people won't give songs." ”
The female executive said: "Didn't Mr. Shu just say that the song is good? Then we will give him this contract." ”
Everyone looked at her: "Give him, let him participate in the dividends?"
