16. Negotiate signing
The second boss's office is on the second floor, where there is a separate room with a bronze sign that reads "Manager's Office".
Hu Yifan was just about to enter the door when he found Qi Feng walking out of it.
"Brother Feng".
Hu Yifan said hello simply.
"Xiaohu, it's hidden, I didn't expect you to have so many songs at the bottom of the box?" Qi Feng said with a smile.
"I'm ashamed, I'm all a little trouble, the boss is looking for me, and I went in." Hu Yifan smiled modestly.
"Hmm." Qi Feng smiled and turned to leave, but after turning around, a wicked smile appeared on his face.
Qi Feng's Hu Yifan still knows something, has a good voice, is also more ambitious, and has a heavy heart. Therefore, Hu Yifan has always dared not offend him lightly.
Entering the door, Gu Fei was reading the newspaper with glasses, and found that Hu Yifan was coming, got off his glasses, and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Hu, sit." ”
"Hmm." Hu Yifan sat down on the sofa next to him.
Gu Fei was still sitting on the chair of the desk.
"Xiaohu, after watching the competition of good Chinese songs, my eldest brother and I are very ashamed. As the so-called Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have. It's us who buried you. You have been wronged. Gu Fei said, pulling out a red panda and throwing it to Hu Yifan. This is half joking, half sincere, and it really speaks to people's hearts.
"Thank you, boss". After more than two months in the company, this is the first time that the second boss has given himself a cigarette, and he is still such a good red panda.
As for Gu Fei's polite words about grievances and other things, Hu Yifan was so serious, his previous self was indeed not a thousand miles.
"The boss doesn't have to say that, when the bar industry banned me, the big boss was willing to take me in, and I won't forget this love." Hu Yifan said.
"It's good to say that young people know how to be grateful. The ancients said well: the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. Right. Before, you were mediocre, so I didn't sign you as an artist under Feiyue, but now I see that you have extraordinary creative talent, so if we don't sign you again, wouldn't it be blind? Gu Fei laughed.
Hu Yifan didn't speak, just smoked in silence. He was wondering how he would respond. Well, it is still necessary to read the contract carefully, and do not be gullible.
"The eldest brother was on a business trip in Beijing, but he also watched a good Chinese song, saying that he was shocked by you, and he called me twice, asking me to sign you, and it was a five-year long contract!" Gu Fei said.
As he spoke, he took out a paper clip containing a contract from a drawer.
"You take it and take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can discuss." Gu Fei said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Hu Yifan frowned, got up and took the blue text folder, opened the contract, and read it carefully from beginning to end. To be honest, if I had won this contract before, I would have been very happy, but now I am not happy at all when I get it, and I am even a little dissatisfied.
The first point is that Gu Fei's approach is a bit unsophisticated. To put it mildly, it is the kind of shrewd people who do things step by step.
Now I am also a shrewd person, if I am a gullible person, a fool who is not deeply involved in the world, I read the contract, and I don't read it carefully first, I will have no head and no brain. If you want to regret it later, it's useless.
A sincere approach should be to meet first, ask yourself what you think, analyze the pros and cons, and then sign a contract. Now you unilaterally draft the contract on behalf of the company, and then ask me to see it, no matter how you say it, there is a sense of coercion passivity, which makes people very passive and very unhappy.
In addition, the remuneration, conditions, and liquidated damages mentioned in the contract may be difficult for me to accept. The remuneration is okay, about 2 million for five years, but the payment method is not a lump sum payment, but a payment of 400,000 a year. But there are still conditions, that is, the full copyright of "Father", "I Am a Little Bird", "Where Has Time Gone", and "Sea and Sky" will be operated by Feiyue Records.
Then there are the liquidated damages. It is very clear that during the signing period, the commercial activities of artist Hu Yifan, including the copyright of the work, must be attributed to Feiyue Records, and if there is a breach of contract, all the remuneration obtained by Hu Yifan in private will be unconditionally returned to Feiyue. At the same time, during the signing period, if Hu Yifan jumps to other companies, he will have to bear five times the liquidated damages, that is, 10 million!
This contract is honest, and it feels like Hu Yifan is full of traps and copper stench. Yes, I am very short of money now, but I am not a fool.
Not to mention anything else, just the copyright of four songs such as "Father", if it is taken out for auction, I dare not say that 500,000 yuan can still be taken down.
Then there is five times the liquidated damages, and I feel that Gu Fei signed this contract for a total of three purposes: first: to grab the full copyright of four songs such as "Father"; Second: bet that you may create more good songs on yourself; Third: In case of default, this liquidated damages is not a small amount of money. At present, Qi Feng, the leading singer of Feiyue, signed a five-year long contract, and the remuneration is 5 million. Then 10 million can sign two second-tier singers like Qi Feng.
However, 10 million is a lot for a small company, but for a large company like Light and Shadow Media, it is not an astronomical amount. If you really want to dig up a singer with great potential, they can still give up 10 million.
"Boss, thank you for your love, but I'm afraid I can't sign this contract." Hu Yifan's tone was as soft as possible.
Gu Fei's face changed slightly, but he still maintained a good smile and said, "Xiaohu, are you dissatisfied with the contract, if there is anything we are not satisfied with, we can talk about it." ”
Hu Yifan smiled: "Don't talk about it. ”
Gu Fei's face finally changed: "Are you sure?" ”
"It's not that I don't have an old relationship, it's just that this contract is too far from what I imagined." Hu Yifan said. When it comes to their own vital interests, they should be said, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Oh, then you can talk about your request." Gu Fei said with a smile. But there was obviously some dissatisfaction in the smile.
"First of all, I don't want to sign a contract for five years, but for one year. Secondly, I have to sign a share of the remuneration. Or 10 million a year. There is also the matter of breach of contract......"
Gu Fei suddenly interrupted, "What did you say?" Sign up for a year? I made you popular, you ran away, what should I do? Also, 10 million a year? Do you know what the concept of 10 million a year is paid? ”
Hu Yifan nodded: "I understand, that's the value of a first-line singer." ”
"So you think you're on the line?" Gu Fei asked rhetorically.
"No, I'm new." Hu Yifan said.
"Xiaohu, your appetite is a bit big. We also have a reference for the price of 2 million. Generally, the singers who come out of the draft, their commercial performance prices range from about 50,000 to 200,000 depending on their popularity. As for the concert, non-super popular talent singers don't lose money when they hold concerts, so the company laughs. Therefore, although 2 million in 5 years is not high, it is not low. Yes, if you win the championship of a good song and sign a contract with Light and Shadow Media, 5 million is possible, but the premise is that you must be able to win the championship. Gu Fei explained.
Hu Yifan smiled: "Boss, according to what you say, give me 2 million, is it considered that you have promoted me?" ”
