Chapter 241: The Agent

"I will definitely try my best to complete the recruitment of trainees, as for the hierarchy Lang Lang, if you have any specific ideas, you might as well talk about it. [.” Zheng Zhenkun said.

"The lowest level is the trainee, and the trainee is a rookie singer after becoming a regular, and we equip the rookie singer with an agent, who is fully responsible for all matters of the singer.

Speaking of which, I would like to mention that my second proposal is that the company should set up a special brokerage department.

Recruit or poach some well-connected and capable agents to cooperate with the company's singers, this will be talked about later, and then the hierarchy. Chen Lang said according to his own thoughts.

"A trainee who can be turned into a regular shows that he already has the corresponding ability, and we will pay the corresponding salary every month on the basis of the trainee's treatment, at least to ensure that he is enough for his basic life.

Then there is a broker, and the company also arranges for the newcomer to release a record, and all the preparations for the newcomer during the period are operated by the agent in cooperation with the company.

If the record sells poorly or averagely, then the rookie level remains the same.

If the sales are good and gain a certain popularity, then the company can increase the publicity and packaging of the newcomer, and at the same time give the newcomer a red envelope, which is a certain monetary reward.

If another record can still get good sales, then this newcomer will be transferred to the next level of new stars, of course, if you can make your debut, you can also directly enter the next level.

The following words are followed by third-rate singers, second-rate singers, first-rate singers, top singers and the highest superstars.

The salary has also gradually increased, from the staff assigned to the singers including agents, assistants, makeup artists, drivers, nanny cars and even bodyguards to distinguish each other's ranks.

At the same time, the company invests more resources in other resources for singers with higher levels, and of course, the most important thing is to give singers corresponding record sales dividends from the level of third-rate singers.

The difference in rank is reflected in the higher and higher share ratio and whether or not it enjoys the dividend of record sales outside Hong Kong. ”

The four people present listened to Chen Lang's words and nodded secretly.

After Chen Lang finished speaking, Zheng Zhenkun said with a smile, "This level is very clear, and there is no need to discuss it, so that the hierarchy can make everyone have a competitive heart, and promote everyone to pursue progress and perfection more, which is a good means of improvement for singers and companies." ”

"Yes, this hierarchy is best implemented after we have discussed the details, so that everyone has the motivation to work hard." Duan Zhongtan also nodded in praise, and even a little impatient.

"In addition, the team behind the scenes, such as the producer of a record, can also receive a corresponding dividend based on the singer and the sales of the record, and we need to increase the motivation of everyone to make the best record possible." Chen Lang opened his mouth again and added.

Although the singer and the producer may share a certain amount of profits, the company will definitely still take the lion's share.

The most important thing is that with these incentives, everyone can be stimulated to devote themselves to the production of records and improve the quality of records, and the direct response is to increase the sales of records, so that the vitality of the company is undoubtedly higher, which should be regarded as a high investment and high return.

"That's the best." The Duan brothers nodded happily.

Because both of them are music producers, they can naturally nod and agree if they can profit from the record, and Zheng Zhenkun as a shareholder of the company also raised his hands in favor.

Next, the five began to discuss the specific treatment plan, Chen Shufen, as the leader of a record company, is also very familiar with the record market, and also gave her own opinions.

The most important thing is actually the finalization of record dividends, and the final result of the discussion is that third-rate singers can receive one Hong Kong dollar per record, and they do not enjoy dividends from record sales outside the local area.

Don't underestimate this Hong Kong dollar, the 80s and early 90s were the golden age of the record market, and the slightly best-selling records were guaranteed to be hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, a record can bring hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in income, which is equivalent to millions of Taiwan dollars.

It's not a little for a third-rate singer, not to mention that it's just a record dividend, and there are a lot of other commercial performances, advertisements, and red envelopes.

Second-rate singers receive 3 yuan per record and do not enjoy dividends from the sales of records outside the local area.

First-class singers receive 6 yuan per record, and they do not enjoy dividends from record sales outside the local area.

Top singers are 10-15 yuan per record, and enjoy a dividend of one to two percent from the sales of records outside the local area.

The superstar receives 15-20 yuan per record, and enjoys a dividend of 2 to 40% of the sales of records outside the local area.

After discussing the specific distribution plan of the level treatment, everyone began to discuss the issue of brokers.

At present, neither Hong Kong nor Taiwan has a very standardized brokerage company.

Many of them are leather bag companies, and there is no serious office location, that is, after taking a fancy to a newcomer or star, they will hold their brokerage contracts in their hands with an irregular contract, and then they will sell their artists everywhere.

Of course, there are also many large non-brokerage companies that do not have a special agency department, and their artists are directly signed with the company, such as the artists of TVB TV who sign contracts directly with TVB, and the procedures and models are not very standardized.

Chen Lang originally wanted to set up a separate brokerage company to run alone, because he knew the tremendous energy that the brokerage company had developed.

In the future, the four major American brokerage companies will become predators that cannot be ignored in the American entertainment industry, they have mastered the contracts of most Hollywood stars, and any film and television dramas, advertisements, MVs and other filming cannot bypass these four brokerage companies.

In the 80s, Hong Kong and Taiwan, there were no such sound relevant regulations, and one of the most important assets of the brokerage company was connections, and Zheng Zhenkun's energy and influence should not be underestimated.

Therefore, it is still necessary to set up a formal agent department within Haishan Rolling Stone Records, and then ** after the development and growth in the future.

"A qualified agent can not only bring a variety of performing arts opportunities to the artists he is responsible for, but also be able to do a long-term planning and packaging for his artists, and at the same time be able to respond appropriately in a timely manner in the face of many emergencies. Chen Lang said.

"But now our singers are all signed with the company, and then the company will send a special agent to the artist, everyone is basically like this, is it necessary to change?" Duan Zhongtan frowned.

"When a newcomer first debuts, he must need to spend money from the brokerage company to package it. Powerful brokerage companies have a strong team and financial resources to plan for the development of artists, handle performing arts affairs, and respond faster to emergencies.

However, the corresponding contract signed with the artist is generally beneficial to the agency responsible for the investment, so when the artist becomes popular, the fame and income are often not proportional, and the contradiction arises. Chen Lang explained.

"Another point is that many of the company's agents now get a fixed salary, and there are very few who can get the basic salary plus the artist's commission, which is definitely not a good thing for the company's development.

In order to motivate brokers and attract big-name brokers to join our company, we had to change in the area of brokers.

The profits that an ace broker can bring to the company are absolutely beyond imagination. ”

Chen Lang still remembers how domineering Wang Jinhua, the number one ace agent in the mainland, is.

In his hands, he almost mastered most of the veterans and popular newcomers in the film and television industry who were very influential and powerful in the mainland at that time.

At that time, he left Huayi Brothers and founded Orange Sky Entertainment, which shocked the entire entertainment industry and dealt Huayi a heavy blow.

An agent can even influence the overall pattern of the mainland entertainment industry, which shows how huge his influence is, and he is worthy of the title of the first agent in the mainland.

This also shows the potential huge influence of an ace agent.

"On the one hand, we now want to strengthen the training of our own company's brokers, on the other hand, we want to attract powerful brokers to join the company, with qualified brokers, plus the company's channels and financial resources for the company to launch new people is undoubtedly very convenient.

What our company wants to do in terms of launching newcomers is, even if we launch a pig, we have to make this pig a well-known pig on the treasure island, you can not like this pig, but you have to know this pig. This is what a strong brokerage company should have. Chen Lang said with a resolute face.

The four people present all fell into deep thought when they heard Chen Lang's words, and now everyone is not very concerned about the agent, which is not to blame, after all, there are limitations of the times.

If they know the influence of the four major brokerage companies in the United States and several major brokerage companies in South Korea on the entire national entertainment industry in the future, they will know the importance of brokers.

Now Chen Lang is going to use his foresight to lay out in advance, and the brokerage company is definitely an important part of Chen Lang's future territory.

"Yes, if our company can really launch a pig and let everyone in Taiwan know, then the newcomers we launch will not be bad, and even be able to become popular, although it is a little difficult, but I think it is worth doing." Zheng Zhenkun looked at Chen Lang with some surprise.

Zheng Zhenkun had no doubts about Chen Lang's musical talent, but he didn't expect this handsome young man to have such amazing whimsy in managing an entertainment company, and he had to sigh in his heart that there were really demons in this world.

The Duan brothers were also very moved by Chen Lang's statement about "pigs".

As the leadership of the company, if the company can do this, then its power in the entertainment industry can be imagined.

Who said that people who love music don't have power**, it's just that they are biased, but it doesn't mean that there is none.
