Chapter 516: First Arrival in the United States!
Go back a few days.
When the Chinese media was shocked by the outrageously slow reduction in the number of films in "Journey to the West", Ye Yu was already in the United States.
Or, a few days after the victory declaration that "the champion belongs to "Journey to the West", he set off to Los Angeles, the United States.
He came to Los Angeles for the Grammys.
"Hello, Mr. Sawyer." In a café in Los Angeles, Ye Yu stretched out his hand to the Mi people who stood up in front of him and said, "It's an honor to meet you." ”
Because the incident caused by "Sherlock Holmes" some time ago shocked the whole world, the day after he arrived in the United States, several publishing houses contacted him, and their strength was not weak.
Now meeting with Ye Yu is Joseph, the editor-in-chief of For-Books Publishing House? Sawyer.
For-Books Publishing House is the most powerful publishing house in the United States today, so Ye Yu came to see him first.
"No, no, no, it's my pleasure." Joseph? With a smile on his face, Sawyer stretched out his hand to shake Ye Yu's hand, and said politely, "It's my honor to meet Ye you." ”
Ye Yu smiled.
Joseph made a gesture of "please sit down", looked at Ye Yu and He Ru, who came with Ye Yu, and said, "Ye, and this beautiful young lady, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you." Ye Yu and He Ru thanked each other.
Three people are seated.
I don't know if it's called Joseph? Sawyer's Mi people are more subtle, or does he think that Ye Yu is an Oriental, and Oriental people have always spoken more tactfully, so he needs to be more subtle, when the three of them sat down, as the host, he didn't go straight to the point. Instead, he talked about Huaxia's recent affairs and Ye Yu's affairs.
"Speaking of which, after my daughter found out about this meeting, she was still clamoring to come along." Joseph laughed, "Because she's a big fan of Ye." In the end, I had to promise to bring her a copy of the autographed "Billie-Jean" single. She gave up her plans. But even so, she still looked very unwilling. I thought, yes, you'll do me a favor, right? ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a single album of "Billie-Jean" from his briefcase that he had set aside.
The single album "Billie-Jean" has not been released in the United States, because Yuye Company plans to establish a subsidiary in the United States, so it has not found an agent in the United States to sell it on its behalf.
Many fans of the Mi national song know about this song from the MP3 format music they downloaded; The understanding of this dance comes from the video that some netizens stole and uploaded to Facebook during the final of the King Championship.
Of course. After the release of the "Billie-Jean" single album, many fans of the Chinese anthem will buy from one of the three websites of Yuye Company's Huaxia parent company, the British subsidiary and the island country subsidiary.
Or buy from some other shopping sites that buy wholesale from Yuye and then sell them, just like real dealers, they are online dealers.
Therefore, although the single album of "Billie-Jean" has not been released in the United States. But Ye Yu was not surprised that Joseph could take out one.
"Absolutely." Ye Yu said with a smile. He took the "Billie-Jean" single album handed by the other party, took a black pen from He Ru's hand, wrote on the cover: "Music-is-the-art-of-thinking-with-sounds."
Seeing this, Joseph was stunned and immediately took it. Pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, this is the best gift!" ”
After the two spoke a few more words, Joseph began to cut to the chase and said, "This time, I will ask you to meet. In fact, it is about the publication and sale of the single albums of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Billie-Jean" in the United States. ”
Although "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" became famous all over the world some time ago, it was still the reason - Yuye Company did not sell it in the United States!
Although you can shop online overseas, you need to pay tariffs for overseas online shopping, the shipping cost is also high, the arrival speed is slow, and it is not so convenient, therefore, even if many people in the United States know about the "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", only a small part of them will be willing to spend so much time in order to buy a book, and therefore, the potential market of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" in the United States is very large, if there is any publishing house in the United States to publish "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", you can definitely make a lot of money.
The same is true for the Billie-Jean single.
Although the proportion of Chinese who will buy the "Billie-Jean" single album online overseas will be higher, there is also a huge market lurking!
This is the reason why as soon as Ye Yu arrived in the United States, several large publishing houses came to the door.
"Our For-Books publishing house is the most powerful comprehensive publishing house in the United States, we can help Ye you publish the singles "Sherlock Holmes" and "Billie-Jean", as well as some of your other books and albums, and give Ye the highest remuneration ratio in the industry, how about it?" Joseph said.
Ye Yu frowned slightly, and said, "When your publishing house contacted me, didn't it say that you wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship?" ”
"Yes." Joseph explained, "Ye, all your future works can be published by our publishing house. ”
Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head without hesitation, and refused: "No, Mr. Sawyer." I want to establish a subsidiary in the United States, and my subsidiary in the United States is willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your publishing house in commercial matters, but I am exempt from establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with your publishing house personally. ”
When For-Books Publishing House contacted him and said that he wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, Ye Yu thought that it was like when he was in the island country, Yuye Company established a subsidiary in the island country, and the subsidiary established a long-term commercial cooperative relationship with Gutian Publishing House, but who knew that the other party actually meant this!
I actually want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Ye Yu!
In other words, he treats Ye Yu as a writer and a singer, and wants to publish his works!
For example, in Huaxia, when Ye Yu's works are published, after deducting the cost, the profits are divided among these four groups.
1. Retailers.
2. Distributors, that is, channel providers who purchase wholesale goods from Yuye Company and distribute them to downstream retailers. Of course, dealers sometimes expand their business downstream for retail.
3. Yuye Company.
4, Ye Yu personally, this part of the profit is Ye Yu's manuscript fee.
Now, what For-Books wants to do is to replace the link of "Yuye Company" and grab the profits of this link!
How could Ye Yu agree!
