208 Unexpected Signings

Joni, who was originally in charge of negotiations with Lin Yu at Sony, saw in the newspaper that the Sunken Band had signed album release licensing contracts with two small companies in Europe and the United States, which surprised him very much.

Although the conditions offered by their company at the beginning are indeed a bit harsh, Sony's huge strength is also obvious to all, as long as singers want to go further, they will choose a large company like them, because only a large company like them has the strength to vigorously increase the popularity of singers and album sales from sales channels and promotion. The two companies signed by the Shen Shen Band can't be compared with them at all, and he doesn't understand why a promising artist like the Shen Shen Band would sign with two small companies that he has never heard of so hastily.

Before he stopped negotiating with the agent of the Shen Yuan band, this was just a means of negotiation, originally he thought that the other party would definitely contact him in the end in order to enter the ranks of world-class singers with more certainty, although the conditions were harsh, but only if they were willing to talk, the conditions could be negotiated slowly.

But who knows, it's only been a few days, and the Sunken-Fall band signed a contract directly, and they don't seem to have any intention of renegotiating at all.

As the third of the world's top ten entertainment companies, Sony's strength and status are needless to say, and several singers in Asia who have reached the world's level are basically under Sony's banner, so they have always been the first choice for Asian singers who want to enter the world.

As the champion of the World Music Festival, and also won three important awards, their potential and future, as the agent said, is what the whole world sees.

If it weren't for the fact that several years ago, the top ten companies deliberately had an agreement in order to stop each other's crazy competition and "grabbing people", Jonny would not have mentioned the harsh conditions behind at all, and officially because of this agreement, the top ten companies follow the principle of "first come, first served" for the artists that everyone looks at, and whoever starts negotiations with the other party first, then within a month, people from other top ten companies can no longer join in to grab people. Even if the other party takes the initiative to ask the other top 10 companies, everyone must answer the other party according to the contract standards of the company that negotiated first.

In this way, it is impossible for the top ten companies to fight for a talented artist, and finally have a tense relationship with each other, but in the end it is the signed artist who benefits.

This is simply an unforgivable sin for large companies, so since the agreement, although the top ten companies compete with each other, they are all limited to a certain extent, and everyone's competition for artists is more focused on discovering artists, that is, comparing the eyes of talent scouts and their own luck.

As long as you can be the first to discover a potential artist, then you will naturally make money, if you are late to send a new one, or you are blind, then I'm sorry, you can swallow your own bitter fruit.

Of course, in this way, it is not very good for artists, but human society has always been the law of the jungle, and compared with artists and record companies, they naturally only have to be obedient.

Sony has also signed a lot of talented artists before, some have lost their eyes, some have become an instant hit, in short, the signing is smooth, even if the contract at the beginning is a bit harsh, but for people who want to become famous, no one is willing to let go of such an opportunity.

Although the Sunken-Fall band is very popular now, it is still just a potential newcomer for a big company like Sony, after all, it is not an important person in the eyes of these top ten companies if they have not entered the world-class artists.

It is because everyone is very optimistic about the future of the Sunken-Sinking Band that Sony has changed the 10% share for newcomers in the treaty to 30%, of course, this is still because the Sunken-Sink Band can create on its own, otherwise, based on popularity alone, they can only get 20% of the share. As for the harsh terms in the back, it is just to let his company make more money, negotiating, naturally you come and go, asking for the price to pay back on the spot, and in the end, it is really okay not to do without that additional clause.

However, who would have thought that the other party was like a novice at all, and he signed a contract with another small company without knowing anything. Until now, Jonny couldn't believe his eyes.

Aren't they afraid that album sales will not be enough to reach the world-class level? Don't they understand how much support Sony can bring them?

If Huang Tian was here, he would confidently tell the other party that he was not worried at all.

In fact, Lin Yu did have the idea of continuing to contact Sony and talk about it again, but Huang Tian directly crossed out Sony after he found out, although they are not superstars now, but they are definitely not unpopular stars who are bullied. Sony's arrogance made Huang Tian completely uninterested in dealing with the other party. He believes that as long as the music is good, the sales channels are smooth, and the popularity brought by the world music festival, their albums can definitely sell well.

Especially after their first album has sold five platinum in Asia, it makes Huang Tian and the others feel that they are no longer the high school students that everyone in the country knows, they are already big stars. Moreover, they will continue to strive to become bigger and more famous big stars.

Jonny's arrogance, as well as the self-confidence of Lin Yu and Huang Tian, made Sony the focus of conversation among the top ten companies for a while. Of course, this is not a very nice topic.

Regardless of why the Sunken-Sink band did not sign a contract with Sony, but signed a contract with two small companies, this is what other companies are happy to see, after all, everyone is a competitor to each other, and the Sunk-Sink band signed a contract with Sony, and signing a contract with Sunk-Sink-Sinky Band and a small company are two different things, at least for the other top ten companies.

Jonny was scolded by his boss, and the other top ten companies were also sneering at them, what "I don't want it, you can say it earlier, let it be to us, why bother to cheap a small company that has never heard of it?" "Could it be that the owner of that small company is related to you?" Or do you have a leg with the hostess? "Hahaha-or he has a leg with the boss's daughter-hahaha-"

In addition to the fall of their peers, the media reporter did not sign an agency contract with the top ten companies for the champion band of a world music festival, but found two small companies that no one knows, what is the secret? Journalists began interviewing anyone who knew about it like sharks smelling blood.

Among them, Sony's Jonny and the Sunken-Fall Band and their agent Lin Yu are naturally the top priority.
