Chapter 413: Persuasion

The soon-to-be-established LL Records Company is very outstanding in terms of distribution channels and creative team, coupled with Zheng Zhenkun as the middleman, Zhen Ni has already favored LL Records in her heart, and the next thing to talk about is the issue of personal treatment.

"If Ah Zhen signs a contract with our company, then you will have a basic salary of 4,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, and the company promises to produce and release at least one record for you every year, as for how many records will be released in a year, it depends on the specific situation.

Dividends from records, in Hong Kong, you can get 12 Hong Kong dollars per record, and outside Hong Kong, you can get 5 Hong Kong dollars per record, of course, these are all benefits after removing taxes.

In addition, you will be provided with an assistant, a makeup artist, a driver, an agent, and a nanny car. Chen Shufen prescribed the company's conditions.

Zhen Ni nodded secretly when she heard this, before the establishment of Golden Note Records, Zhen Ni could get less than 10 Hong Kong dollars per record in other record companies, and even less for overseas shares.

The current music scene has been changing, the new generation of singers is more popular, and the sales will be more and more, and the popularity and sales of the older generation of singers will inevitably be affected.

Although there are many record companies that want to sign Jenny, the conditions given by the international giant record companies to sign Jenny may not be better than those of LL Records, and they will have to compete with many singers for resources at that time.

A small record company may be able to make a lot of money, but the ability to distribute it is not reassuring.

In the LL record company, there are only three singers: Chen Lang, Xu Guanjie and Zhen Ni.

Zhen Nike is the only female singer, and she is the first sister of the company, so she must have more resources to Zhen Ni, and the basic salary is not small.

You must know that the average income of ordinary clerical workers in Hong Kong is probably less than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and at the same time, the company has specially equipped a small team for Zhenni, which can be seen that the company attaches great importance and sincerity to Zhenni.

"The conditions were suitable, and I decided to sign with LL Records." Zhenni felt that the conditions were completely in line with her expectations, so she did not hesitate and agreed directly.

"Okay, today is a verbal agreement, when I go back and prepare the contract, we will officially sign the contract, but our company will not be established until August, and you had better not disclose it to the outside world during this time.

At the same time, we are also ready to release records, during which we will collect songs for you, and after the company is formed, the first record will be yours. Chen Shufen was very happy after receiving Zhenni's affirmative answer.

The strength and conditions of the LL record company itself are good, and now with the first person of the new generation, as well as the king and queen of the older generation, it will definitely surprise everyone's eyes when it is established.

"There is exactly half a year left, which is enough for me to deal with chores and prepare."

Zhenni was able to get the conditions she wanted, and at the same time, she lived up to the kindness of her friend Zheng Zhenkun, and she was in a good mood.

"By the way, Sister Zhen, I want to buy your Golden Note Records, what do you think?" Chen Lang suddenly interjected.

"Buying Golden Note Records?" Jenny was a little surprised when she heard this.

Jenny didn't know why Chen Lang wanted Golden Note Records, because although Golden Note had been established for more than two years, other things didn't mean much to LL Records except for making five records.

At the same time, Zhen Ni was also a little hesitant, because the golden note was founded by Zhen Ni and her husband Fu Sheng, which was the work of the two.

Golden Note Records, whose name is based on the surnames Zhen and Fu, was a pioneer in local independent music production in 1981.

Between 1981 and 1982, he produced three platinum albums "Don't Meet Again", "Heart" and "Wooden Man" and two gold albums "Impact" and "Announcer".

Chen Lang does not value the equipment used to make records of Golden Notes, and there is no distribution channel for Golden Notes, what Chen Lang values is the copyright of five records.

In addition to the distribution channels and creative team, the number of singers, artists, especially superstars, is a very important criterion.

In addition, the number of song copyrights owned by the company is also an extremely important benchmark.

The copyright of a song is not only a testament to a record company's heritage, but also a record company can bring many other benefits.

First of all, these songs can be reprinted.

In his previous life, Chen Lang searched the Internet for the four superstars Tan Zhangmei Chen in the mid-to-late eighties, and found that each of their records was basically a gold record and a platinum record.

Even the early records of their debut were platinum records, could it be that they were all like Chen Lang, and they behaved like demons when they debuted?

The answer is no, take Leslie Cheung as an example, the two records released at Li's time did not even reach the 25,000 gold record sales.

Alan Tam also has a number of records that do not meet the gold record standard after flying solo, and the same is true for Chen Baiqiang and Anita Mui.

The reason why I found their records on the Internet is basically gold and platinum records is because these records have been reprinted.

That is, it was re-released after many years, and the combined number of sales exceeded the gold record standard, so there was a situation where every record was a gold record or even a platinum record.

Secondly, many of the songs in these records will be used as theme songs or interludes for film and television dramas and advertisements, which can also be subject to copyright taxes.

As for the twenty-year collection of so-and-so record company, it is also possible.

Just like after the collapse of Polygram Records, Sony Columbia spent billions of dollars to buy all the song rights of Polygram Records, which is not a loss-making business, it must be profitable, but it may take a longer time.

"I mainly want to buy the song rights of Golden Note Records, I know that Golden Note is the brainchild of you and Mr. Fu, Sister Zhen, but now that you have decided to close Golden Note, then these songs will be shelved and no one can enjoy them anymore.

I think this is really regrettable, so I want to buy the rights to these songs, maybe they can be republished and released many years later, so that more people can enjoy your and Mr. Fu's hard work. Chen Lang looked at Zhen Ni and said seriously.

Zhen Ni seemed to fall into memory when she heard Chen Lang's words, and Chen Lang and Chen Shufen stopped talking when they saw Zhen Ni slightly distracted, and waited patiently.

After a while, Jenny wiped the corners of her eyes and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." ”

Chen Lang also felt a little emotional when he saw Zhen Ni, this is an affectionate woman.

Even though her husband left at a young age, he never remarried, and finally even used sperm/child freezing technology to give birth to a daughter for Fu Sheng.

When her daughter was born, Fu Sheng had been dead for many years, which shows that Zhen Ni is indeed a person who values love and righteousness, and it also makes Chen Lang admire, it is really not easy for a woman to do this.

"If you agree to merge the record company into LL Records, I can keep the label of Golden Note, and your records can continue to bear the logo of Golden Note in the future." Chen Lang looked at Zhen Nidao, who was a little sad.

The so-called retention of the label is to retain the brand value.

I think everyone knows the Audi brand, which actually belongs to Volkswagen, but it still retains the Audi brand when it is sold, because the Audi brand has great value.

In other words, Jenny's record still has the brand of golden notes, but all channels, sales, etc. still belong to LL Records.

"Thank you Lang Lang, but no need, since it's closed, let him go, I promise to sell you the golden note." Jenny smiled a little sadly.

"Then thank you, Sister Zhen." After Chen Lang finished speaking, he handed Zhen Ni a check, and then said to Chen Shufen, "Write this acquisition in the contract." ”

Jenny took the check and looked at it, but was taken aback because the check said 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although there are five records of Golden Note, and three platinum and two gold records, these records have already been released, and although they can be reprinted, they are not the first release.

And they don't have much effect in Zhenni's hands, and the current 1.5 million is very valuable, and it is more than enough to buy three mansions.

"Okay, Sister Zhen, don't talk about the rest, it's decided." Chen Lang saw Zhen Ni's expression and immediately waved his hand.

"Sister Chen, you go back to prepare the contract, and when the time comes, just sign a contract with Sister Zhen, it's finally done." Chen Lang said lightly.

"No problem." Chen Shufen looked at Chen Lang with great satisfaction.

Zhen Ni also looked at Chen Lang with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude and relief.

After everything was discussed, Jenny left with a smile, while Chen Lang and Chen Shufen stayed behind to continue to discuss matters related to LL Records.

Chen Shufen reported all her plans to Chen Lang one by one, and Chen Lang also listened carefully, but he had no opinions.

Because Chen Shufen is definitely better than Chen Lang in this regard, Chen Lang also believes in Chen Shufen's ability.

In terms of the distribution of the company's equity, Chen Lang decided to give Chen Shufen 3.5%, Chen Liuquan 1.5%, and the couple accounted for a total of 5% of the shares, which refers to the profit dividends of LL Records in Hong Kong.

Although Chen Lang realized that bundling interests was the best way to attract talents, after all, he was an otaku in his previous life, and he suddenly became rich in this life, so he was inevitably a little stingy when distributing equity.

But Chen Shufen didn't care too much.

First of all, the potential of LL Records is worth Chen Shufen's expectations, and 5% is not less.

Secondly, Chen Shufen knew that Zheng Zhengkun accounted for 5% of the shares, and the Duan brothers each accounted for 1.5% of the shares, so the couple's equity was indeed not small.

In the end, Chen Lang has 100% trust in Chen Shufen, and he can let Chen Shufen make full decisions, which is also an important reason for Chen Shufen's heart.

In the next few days, Chen Lang was a lot more relaxed, and he had nothing to do, just to accompany his family.

When you have nothing to do, look at the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony that has become more and more popular by the media, of course, the most important thing is the competition for the most popular male singer.

Chen Lang, Xu Guanjie and Chen Baiqiang are still the three singers who are the most likely to win.

Among them, everyone is most optimistic about Xu Guanjie, although Chen Lang performed the best last year, but Xu Guanjie's achievements and contributions to the Hong Kong music scene are unparalleled, and in the most authoritative top ten Chinese golden melody awards, Xu Guanjie also won a golden song, once again proving his strength.

Needless to say, Chen Lang is currently the highest among the three in terms of sales and awards.

Chen Baiqiang also has a lot of sales and awards, as the only super popular singer of the new generation who can be tied with Chen Lang, and is also the first idol singer in Hong Kong, the number of top ten Chinese golden songs won is also more than Chen Lang, so it is not without the possibility of an upset.
