Chapter 31: The Lion Opens His Mouth
The fact that the two leaders were able to make such a decision made the Grandmaster very happy in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I came here today to meet with these two leaders, not just to talk about the recording of the song "Conquest of Heaven". In contrast, being able to cooperate with the symphony orchestra and choir under the Tianqu District Cultural Bureau for a long time is the greatest goal of the grandmaster.
The Grandmaster wants to make money, and in the current situation, borrowing chickens to lay eggs is the best option.
I have in my head many famous operas, symphonies, marches, concertos and other masterpieces from my previous life, and if you want to turn these masterpieces into real profits, a good enough symphony orchestra is indispensable.
An orchestra of the calibre of the Royal Symphony Orchestra, the Grandmaster didn't want to work with them. It is said that the store is a big bully, but if the customer is bad, the store will also have to wither, and the unbalanced cooperation between the two sides is destined to not last long. Therefore, if you want to cooperate, it is most appropriate and safest to choose an orchestra like the Tianqu Symphony Orchestra to cooperate.
As long as you can cooperate happily, then you can maximize your own interests.
Although it had only been a few days since he had accepted this new body, the pressure from this family had already made the Grandmaster feel too heavy. Therefore, in the heart of the Grandmaster, the most important task at present is to make money for the family first, and everything else can be put later.
The second brother's rehabilitation requires a lot of money, and the old lady's rehabilitation also costs a lot of money. The eldest brother Zongtian is working hard to make money for the family outside, and he is now the pillar of the family, so how to make more money as soon as possible is the most important thing that the grandmaster is considering at present.
For a grandmaster who had experienced a complete infinite world, he had a clear distinction between the more important and the more important.
And now, the two heads have made such a decision, which almost means that the "chicken" in the grandmaster's plan to "borrow a chicken to lay eggs" has been found.
Seeing that the grandmaster was in a good mood, Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xiaozong, if you give these three pieces to our orchestra to play, how do you plan to collect the copyright fees?"
Copyright protection in this world is much better than in previous lives, not to mention high-end works such as symphonies, marches, and concertos, and even ordinary pop songs have to pay a lot of money to copyright owners if others want to cover them.
And a track like a symphony, if good enough, is quite horrible in terms of profitability. For example, for a concert with 2,000 people, the ticket price for such a concert is generally between 100 and 1,500 yuan, but even the worst seats will not cost less than 100 yuan.
Therefore, the average ticket price of a concert of about 2,000 people can reach 500 Chinese dollars, and a concert can sell 1 million Chinese yuan for tickets alone. If you include the income from advertising and TV broadcasting, the income of the organizer will at least exceed one million yuan after a concert.
If it is an orchestra of the same level as the Royal Symphony Orchestra, one performance can bring the organizer at least 5 million yuan in net income.
Of course, your orchestra has to be strong enough to be able to do that, and if your orchestra doesn't have that strength, no one to listen to, no advertisers, no TV broadcasts, then you're just going to have to stare dryly.
The current Tianqu Symphony Orchestra belongs to such a state of "three nos", if it were not for the fixed performance tasks every month, such an orchestra would have closed down long ago.
As the leader of the orchestra, Zhang naturally saw the potential of these three pieces. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Grandmaster can't make this level of repertoire in the future, just based on these three pieces and paired with a few classic old repertoire, then a concert can attract enough fans to come.
An orchestra does not need all of its repertoire to be classical, as long as there are one or two classic repertoire, it is enough to make an orchestra extremely nourishing.
Therefore, no matter what method is used, the exclusive performance rights of these three tracks, Director Zhang, has to stay.
Hearing Captain Zhang's question, the Grandmaster did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Captain Zhang, what do you and Captain Liu think about recording the song "Conquest of Heaven" for free?"
Head Zhang and Head Liu glanced at each other, nodded slightly and said, "Xiaozong, this is easy to say." As you said before, Lao Liu and I can record that song for you for free, but in order to record it well, you need to give us at least five days of practice. ”
The grandmaster smiled: "That's no problem, this song "Conquest of Heaven" is not in a hurry, five days is five days. In return, I'll give you exclusive rights to play this "Conquer Heaven" and "The-Mass" for free. ”
After a pause, the Grandmaster looked at the two masters and said very firmly: "As for the other repertoire, like this "William Retreat March" and the repertoire I will make in the future, the fee I charge is 10% of your total income!"
As soon as this number came out, Regiment Leader Liu's face changed, and he was just about to say something, but he didn't want to be pulled by the head Zhang next to him, and the head Zhang said very happily: "Okay, I agree with this number! But this figure is limited to ticket revenue, advertising revenue and TV broadcast revenue, and other income cannot be counted in it." ”
The Grandmaster smiled slightly, and said very happily, "Deal!"
In fact, the number raised by the Grandmaster is still relatively high. Of course, this is relatively high for his current fame. There is one thing that this world has in common with the previous life, that is, there are performance royalties. Literary works are subject to royalties, as are musical works. It's just that in this world, the royalties of musical works mostly fluctuate between 6% and 10% of ticket revenue, which is much higher than the 2.5% to 7% performance royalties in previous lives. For example, once the work of the long-established big-name musicians is confirmed to be performed by a symphony orchestra, the royalty of these big-name musicians starts at 10%, and some can even reach 12% or more.
A little-known newcomer like the Grandmaster is 10% in one mouth, and it is also 10% of the total income of the three main members of the orchestra, which is already a bit of a lion's mouth. That's why Head Liu wanted to refute just now.
Since the two sides have already agreed verbally, there is no point in the Grandmaster staying here any longer. So after the two sides agreed on the time to sign the contract, the grandmaster, Zhang Bing and Li Wei got up and said goodbye......
