"So fast?" said Taylor Swift with a shocked expression.

It only took a long time for Zhang Fan to make the tune. It's just unbelievably fast.

Although it is said that many good composers can write a piece in ten minutes when they are inspired. But most of them had a melody in their hearts before, and they were just cathartic after the inspiration broke out.

But the song that Zhang Fan took over looked like a typical American country music style sung by a woman. In terms of Zhang Fan's positioning, he will not be idle to play American country music. And it's the kind that women sing about. The songs that came out in such a short period of time are either Zhang Fan is indeed full of strength, and it is the top level to make a song casually. Either Zhang Fan is perfunctory.

"It's okay. Zhang Fan looked at the big machine music company in which Taylor Swift himself was a shareholder. silently praised this woman's vision and IQ.

No matter how good the singers are, they are always working for others. Most of the hard-earned money is taken by music companies. Just look at Michael Jackson to understand this. is so famous that the whole world knows what it can do, but in the end it still can't get rid of the fate of being manipulated.

If you want to change all this, the only way is to be your own boss, and work for yourself like Zhang Fan. And Taylor Swift is obviously a smart person, and she is a major shareholder of the music company herself.

"The market for country music in the United States is huge, even exceeding the predictions of experts. Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and clicked on the score, "This song is the key I use to open the door to this market." You've done a good job now, gradually bringing out the vitality of this market. It's just not enough, the potential of this market is far from being reached. ”

"It's not the end yet?" Taylor Swift was surprised, feeling that her country music album could sell 3.6 million copies was already the limit. After all, country music can't be compared to pop music. And the reason why I wanted to ask Zhang Fan to help write songs was to turn to mainstream pop music after country music reached its peak. But I didn't expect Zhang Fan to take out country music.

"Don't believe me?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, "My work has never failed, just because I know the market very well." Know what the market needs. ”

"It's not that I don't believe it. Taylor Swift's smile was a little reluctant, and she now regretted that she hadn't made it clear to Zhang Fan that she wanted pop songs. Now Zhang Fan took out the song, but it was not what she wanted, which made her feel like she didn't know what to say.

"In that case, then this cooperation will be forgotten. Zhang Fan saw Taylor Swift's thoughts, and prepared to put away the score with a flat face.

"No!" Taylor Swift hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fan's arm in surprise and quickly explained, "I like this song very much, but I am not so optimistic about the future of country music." ”

Zhang Fan glanced at Taylor Swift's hand and said softly, "Since this is the case, let's make an agreement." You use this song as the album's main track, and the sales base is five million copies. If it is less than that, I don't want a penny of royalties. ”

"Five million?!" Taylor Swift's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe Zhang Fan's words at all.

You must know that her album sold 3.6 million copies before, which is already the best result in the history of country music. Even she herself did not have the confidence to break this record. If it weren't for Zhang Fan's past achievements being too dazzling, Taylor Swift would definitely think that Zhang Fan was bragging.

"Pure sales?" asked Taylor Swift, a little disbelieving.

Because of the rapid development of the Internet, music sharing and network downloading are the mainstream. Moreover, piracy is rampant, and it is very difficult for physical sales to achieve results. Taylor Swift thinks that Zhang Fan is talking about the number of paid downloads on the Internet.

"It's just physical sales. Zhang Fan laughed, "When calculating the sales of my works, I have always only counted physical albums. I don't need the sales of irrigation. ”

In order to improve the sales data and increase the stock price, many music companies will count online paid downloads as album sales in the total sales. This practice is known as irrigation. And most people don't approve of this kind of sales.

"If the album can sell more than five million copies, then we will divide it according to our previous agreement. Zhang Fan didn't care about Taylor Swift's strange look, and said to himself, "If it exceeds six million sales, then I will take half of the share." If it's more than 8 million copies, you're going to have to accept my stake in your company with the rights to the album, at least 30 percent of the shares. ”

Taylor Swift was silent for a moment.

Zhang Fan's proposal is very tempting. In comparison, although Zhang Fan agreed to write a song for her, the asking price was very expensive. I want to take 30% of all my income directly! And I don't give the copyright!

If you agree to Zhang Fan's request, as long as the album sales do not reach five million copies, then all these expenses can be saved. And you can also get the copyright of the song. In Taylor Swift's view, the sales of Zhang Fan's works are guaranteed, although the market for country music is so big, but judging from Zhang Fan's achievements all along, there will still be sales of three or four million copies. But if you want to get more than 5 million copies, it's not easy. As for eight million, it seems to her that it is simply impossible.

It's just that Zhang Fan wants shares in her company, so it's very troublesome. This made her hesitate.

Zhang Fan sat quietly, without the slightest expression of anxiety.

Taylor Swift's country music is very popular, and her market potential has not been fully explored. When she really came to power, her outburst of influence was absolutely beyond imagination.

Zhang Fan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to share the benefits from her. After all, Taylor Swift is a very smart woman who doesn't really go to work for someone else. If Zhang Fan wants to solicit, it is almost impossible. After all, no matter how good his conditions are, he is not as good as making money for himself.

So this is an opportunity, an opportunity to share in Taylor Swift's future success. He wants to use this partnership to invest in mold. Now it's up to her to accept it.

Although compared to the movie, it doesn't make much money here. But Zhang Fan is very short of money now, and there is no reason to give up with a money-making opportunity in front of him.

"Six million sheets. After a moment of silence, Taylor Swift looked up at Zhang Fan with his azure eyes, "If you don't sell six million copies, you will have to give up all your share of income and give me the copyright of the song." If it can exceed 8 million, then I will agree that you can take a stake in my company, and you can take a quarter of the shares. ”

Taylor Swift is a woman with a lot of brains. And she was born in a civilian family, and she is very sensitive to money. Zhang Fan gave her a chance to waive a large amount of copyright fees, and she really had no way to refuse this temptation. After the modification raised the requirements, Taylor Swift gave his own bottom line.

"No problem. Zhang Fan laughed: "Actually, if I take a stake in your company, it will also be a good thing for you." Because you have a reason to take the song from me. It's an opportunity that everyone else dreams of. ”

"Are you so confident that you're going to be able to sell more than eight million physical albums?" Taylor Swift couldn't help but ask. Zhang Fan's strong self-confidence made her feel that selling millions or even tens of millions of albums seemed to be a very simple thing. It's just that she knows very well that many singers have never reached this number in their entire careers.

"Of course. Zhang Fan got up and stretched out his hand to Taylor Swift, "Because I'm Zhang Fan!"

The current Zhang Fan's name itself is a huge gold signboard. This sign is piled up with many best-selling, big-selling albums and box office blockbusters.

As a foreigner, Zhang Fan has made such great achievements in the United States, which is the world's No. 1 in the entertainment market, and his reputation has already spread all over the world.

Zhang Fan's Chinese identity did bring a lot of resistance in the United States at the beginning. But after his success, this identity became a kind of help. It has become a booster of success.

The reason why Taylor Swift agreed to this agreement was largely because Zhang Fan's fame did affect her. After all, if Zhang Fan is allowed to take a stake in his own company, it will be regarded as a relationship with Zhang Fan. It's worth paying even some price.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that American country music has its own characteristics, and it has always been female singers. That Zhang Fan will definitely not look for Taylor Swift, but let Lin Yueying occupy this market. It's just that Lin Yueying is Chinese, and it is difficult to sing that feeling without living in the United States. Then I had to cheap Taylor Swift.

After negotiating these things, Zhang Fan no longer paid attention to this matter. It's all left to the company's professionals. After all, he has so much work that it is impossible to pay attention to everything.

And Taylor Swift is also very decisive, since he has made a decision, he will resolutely implement it. A brand new album called Fearless, Fearless, was soon in the making. I believe it will not be long before it can be launched to the market.

After the end of the matter, Zhang Fan's focus returned to the movie. This is Zhang Fan's main battlefield.

Thor's screening has ended, and the film, which was launched on the occasion of the popularity of superhero movies, has achieved impressive results even in the off-season.

The $140 million film went on to grossing over $550 million worldwide!

Box office revenue alone can bring Zhang Fan a net income of more than 200 million US dollars, and if you count the various peripherals that have made long-term profits, the money earned will be higher than the box office income.
