Chapter 31: Galaxy Entertainment's Reaction

In the music critics' column of "The Sound of Music", several music critics gave high marks to Yang Yu's album and praised Yang Yu.

Even Wu Sensheng, editor-in-chief of "The Sound of Music" and chairman of the jury of the Huaxia Enterprising Award, praised Yang Yusheng, and Wu Sensheng commented.

"Yang Yu is the most talented newcomer I have seen in recent years, as a singer-songwriter, the excellence of Yang Yu's debut album is a direct reflection of his talent. And what is even more commendable is that at the moment when love songs are popular, Yang Yu did not follow the trend and dared to release this inspirational style album, which not only succeeded in the album, but also injected a new vitality into the Chinese music scene that has been quiet in recent years. ”

When this issue of "The Sound of Music" was released, the ranking of the public trust list was announced, coupled with the previous media reports, the masses began to be indignant.

Ordinary people's sympathy for the disadvantaged is an innate instinct, and when they knew that such an excellent newcomer was so squeezed by the company, they immediately set off a voice of condemnation of Galaxy Entertainment on the Internet.

Among them, the most fierce is Yang Yu's fans, who not only defend Yang Yu on the Internet and attack Galaxy Entertainment, but also directly rush to the door of Galaxy Entertainment headquarters to demonstrate collectively.

For a while, the attention of the entire domestic entertainment industry was attracted to this storm.

As one of the protagonists of the storm, Yang Yu has certainly attracted the attention of many people, after all, it has not been such an eye-catching newcomer for many years.

At this time, it seems that some record companies, the media, and the public are all strangled in this storm.

But the driving forces behind it are actually those big companies that have fierce competition with Galaxy Entertainment.

They had already attacked Yang Yu before the storm began, and if they couldn't contact Yang Yu, they contacted Jin Yanqiu.

Even if they can't dig Yang Yu, they will push the media to engage in Galaxy Entertainment, after all, it is impossible for them to watch their opponents make money so comfortably.

However, whether the poaching can succeed is not very important in the eyes of these large companies, and with this incident, attacking the Galaxy Entertainment behind Yang Yu is the most critical.

In fact, even those companies that keep shouting in the media don't have any good intentions.

These companies keep saying some hints, which is nothing more than hoping that Yang Yu will not be able to hold his breath and take the initiative to jump out and fire at Galaxy Entertainment for the sake of profit.

In that case, it will not be them who will offend Galaxy Entertainment first, but Yang Yu.

At that time, not only can Yang Yu be signed after Yang Yu and Galaxy Entertainment terminate the contract, but also can take advantage of the opportunity for Galaxy Entertainment to suppress Yang Yu and suppress Yang Yu's deserved profits.

Don't look at these companies now look like moral models, but in fact, if they want to have a chance, the squeeze of Yang Yu will not be much worse than Galaxy Entertainment.

But what they didn't know was that Yang Yu actually had no intention of changing jobs in his heart, and everything these companies did did Yang Yu a great favor.

At the very beginning, Galaxy Entertainment was able to disagree with the poaching of those small companies.

But later, under the accusations of "The Sound of Music" and other media, even the people began to feel that they were wrong, Galaxy Entertainment finally panicked.

Galaxy Entertainment, through its own channels, knows very well that those people are behind the ghosts, and it is also very clear what the purpose of these people is.

Compared with Yang Yu, Galaxy Entertainment cares more about the company's reputation.

They don't want to cause the image they have built up among the people for many years to collapse because of some of Yang Yu's interests, which will be a bit more than worth the loss for the company.

Therefore, when the attacks from the outside world became more and more intense, Galaxy Entertainment couldn't sit still at all.

If Yang Yu is really poached by these companies, they will definitely take advantage of this incident to attack and destroy the company's reputation, and those companies are very happy to see Galaxy Entertainment unlucky.

Therefore, just after Yang Yu completed the signing meeting in Guangzhou, the sixth city, Jin Yanqiu had already brought the company's latest decision.

Jin Yanqiu told him that the company had decided to discuss a new profit distribution plan with him after he completed the signing meeting in Jinling, the last city.

Hearing the news, Yang Yu's eyes showed a glint of joy, he finally waited for this day, Galaxy Entertainment couldn't hold his breath anymore.

In the attention of public opinion and surrounded by the media, Yang Yu finally completed the signing meeting in Nanjing.

In the face of media interviews, he has remained silent and has not expressed any opinions, much to the disappointment of companies that expected him to jump out.

In the pursuit and interception of the media, Yang Yu quietly returned to Yanjing.

After coming back, Yang Yu found Hou Donglai as soon as possible, and in the face of the company, he needed a spokesperson.

After all, Jin Yanqiu is a person from Galaxy Entertainment, and he is a little worried.

Negotiations with the company are about to begin, and Yang Yu has done something to show his sincerity.

On Weibo, he constantly advised fans not to be impulsive, hoping that fans could calm down.

Although he was very touched by everything the fans did, he didn't want the fans to be too radical, just like blocking the door of Galaxy Entertainment.

Yang Yu said that he would give fans an explanation for the distribution of benefits this time.

Under Yang Yu's reassurance several times, his fans finally quieted down for the time being, patiently waiting for the final outcome of this matter.

In this way, with the attention of the media and the public, he officially opened the negotiation of a new contract.

In the large conference room of Galaxy Art Management Company, Yang Yu saw so many company executives for the first time.

Among them are Zhang Huaqiang, general manager of Galaxy Art Management Company, Liu Xu, general manager of Galaxy Records, and Li Yuefeng, director of the board of directors and vice president of the parent company Galaxy Entertainment Media Group.

As soon as Li Yuefeng appeared, Jin Yanqiu specially introduced Li Yuefeng's information to him.

This man who looks no more than forty years old is not only a senior member of the group, but also has another identity, the second son of Li Tianhe, chairman of Galaxy Entertainment.

Li Yue's appearance here proves that Yang Yu's matter is indeed very concerned by the group.

With Li Yuefeng in charge, on the one hand, he hopes to give him some pressure, and at the same time, he also has the intention of urging the company to solve this matter quickly.

In addition to these high-level executives, there are several staff members in the conference room who are responsible for specific things.

On Yang Yu's side, only Hou Dong came to help him, but Hou Dong looked at the situation in front of him, his nervous forehead was sweating, and he seemed to have never seen the world.

In fact, before re-signing the contract this time, Yang Yu also got a good news, that is, his album sold well again in the second week.

Perhaps affected by the recent news, the album not only declined in the second week, but also rose to 300,000 copies, including 120,000 physical albums and 180,000 digital albums.

Counting the pre-sale, Yang Yu's album, the physical plus number is actually close to 800,000 copies, and it is estimated that there is no problem in reaching the platinum standard in the first month.

With this achievement as a foundation, Yang Yu negotiated with the company, and he felt more confident in his heart.

But in fact, Yang Yu also knew that the reason why the company would negotiate with him for the new benefit distribution was because of various reasons.

First of all, he quickly became popular with an album, secondly, there were rumors that outside companies continued to poach, and finally under the pressure of public opinion from the media and the public, the company was a little caught off guard, so he finally talked to him about it.

But he had to be aware of the fact that, despite the fact that he looked good on the pitch, the company was on the strong side in this negotiation.

Therefore, he knew that he couldn't be too complacent, and he couldn't make too many demands because he felt that the form was good, and he and Hou Donglai had already communicated about this.

Once the meeting began, it was the record companies that made their comments first.

The contract for the hesitant first album has already been signed, and Galaxy Records does not agree to change it again.

But the record company said that it had seen Yang Yu's strength, and his next album would sign a contract according to the company's highest treatment.

Yang Yu has no objection to this, in fact, everyone knows that the core of this negotiation is the contract of the brokerage company.

The problem of the record company was solved, and the negotiations between Yang Yu and the economic company officially began.

First of all, the brokerage company proposed a new contract, and in addition to the fact that it is still a full contract signed for six years, many of the terms have changed.

Among them, the company promised to increase Yang Yu's annual publicity expenses.

Reduce the company's profit margin, from the original year by year to change to six years all three seven open, company three, Yang Yu seven.

Perhaps due to the impact of this incident, the company raised the liquidated damages to 20 million in one go.

After listening to the new contract plan proposed by the brokerage company, Yang Yu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, and after returning to Yanjing, he had already discussed the bottom line of the negotiation with Hou Donglai.

Although Hou Donglai was a little nervous at first, he had entered into formal negotiations and immediately revealed his demeanor as a famous school.

As Yang Yu's agent, he first completely denied the conditions of the brokerage company and put forward his opinion.

First of all, the signing time must be shortened, as a singer who has proven his strength, it is impossible to sign this kind of long-term contract like a deed of sale, Hou Donglai said that the contract will be signed for a maximum of three years.

Next, Yang Yu must have veto power in the face of commercial activities, commercial endorsements, film and television drama shooting, variety show announcements, and record production arranged by the company.

Hou Donglai said that as long as the company arranges it, it is simply unreasonable for Yang Yu to participate unconditionally.

Does the company want Yang Yu to accompany the rich woman to drink and eat, let Yang Yu go to RB to shoot AV, and let Yang Yu release ten records a year, all these things must be accepted unconditionally?

Next is the most critical commission issue, Hou Donglai said that the commission of 30% is too much, and it is too general, and it must be further refined.

For example, Yang Yu's commercial endorsements, commercial activities, announcement performances, peripheral sales, film and television shooting and other income, Yang Yu receives a maximum of 20% of the commission.

In terms of record income, Yang Yu, as a singer-songwriter, took over the main work of record production, and the cost and publicity were also borne by the record company.

Yang Yu only agreed to the brokerage company's symbolic 1 percent commission on record revenue.

Finally, on the issue of liquidated damages, Hou Dong said that he could accept 20 million liquidated damages, but it must be stated in the contract that if the brokerage company cannot serve Yang Yu, Yang Yu has the right to terminate the contract.

Hou Donglai said that the brokerage company should serve Yang Yu, not treat Yang Yu as a slave, and Yang Yu should not be allowed to work independently when he could not fulfill the contract.

In fact, in other words, if the company wants to block Yang Yu, Yang Yu can't have no chance to resist at all. \

After Yang Yu's Fang representative Hou Donglai finished speaking, there was immediately a lot of discussion on the brokerage company's side.

What followed was naturally Hou Donglai's verbal exchange with the other party, and the two sides had their own reasons for these key issues, and each did not back down, and the whole day of discussion was fruitless.
