Chapter 42 Agreement (Request for Recommendation Votes)

In a room where the sound of fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard rang, the phone rang suddenly.

"Jiang Lin, Mr. Ji just called, and Hanhai Records has agreed that you will be the producer of Li Man's new album, and I hope to do my best to implement the details of the cooperation with us." Xia Bing's voice came from the phone.

Sure enough, Jiang Lin's expression did not show the slightest surprise, and the moment he saw the caller ID, he had already guessed about this result.

"Okay, in terms of the details of cooperation, you are responsible for handling it, Sister Bing, in a word, you must not suffer a loss, and you must definitely fight for what you should strive for." Jiang Lin smiled: "What did Mr. Ji say about the cost of launching a single?" ”

"Wait, I wrote it down just now, you listen to it, according to Mr. Ji's meaning, if Jiang Lin is to launch a regular single containing three songs, on the basis of the song is self-created, the arrangement is 3000 yuan per song, the recording studio is 2500 yuan per day or 3500 yuan per song, the guitar, bass, drum and other soundtrack artists are 1000 yuan per song, the publishing house approves the edition number fee is 3000 yuan, the recording engineer post-synthesis and mastering processing fee is 5000 yuan, burning + printing +The cost of CD and CD case, the quality is average, the cost of each of more than 10,000 pieces is about 4 yuan, if it is more well-made, the cost of each of more than 10,000 pieces is about 5 yuan, I am inclined to the latter, the price of a MV is about 3-100,000 yuan, and the record cover and inner page system are 5,000 yuan, so that the cost of a single album is about 41,500 yuan. ”

"Of course, this is the most economical plan, the expensive is boundless, if we release 10,000 singles, according to the standard of better quality, and then shoot a MV of about 50,000, then the total production cost will rise to 141,500 yuan, in addition, according to Mr. Ji, if our single only covers a few big city audio stores, 10,000 singles will charge us 10,000 distribution fees, that is, if we release 10,000 singles, not counting the publicity, The total cost is 151,500 yuan. ”

According to Mr. Ji, if our publicity is to be a little stronger, at least 500,000 yuan of publicity costs need to be invested, I thought about it, Jiang Lin, after all, you are not a real singer-songwriter after all, but just a test of the water, the number of singles released is not much, it is completely unnecessary to invest too high in publicity costs, it is better to spend 200,000 yuan only in Yanjing to do key publicity, in this way, It is estimated that we will need a total of about 351,500 yuan, Jiang Lin, if you can sell a few more songs, you can still afford it. ”

Jiang Lin nodded, not to mention anything else, as long as the script of the first part of "Huanzhu Gege" is sold, the cost of the single will also be there, thanks to the country's strict protection of copyright, the domestic screenwriters of this world undoubtedly have a stronger voice than the same period of the original time and space, in fact, although the domestic screenwriters of the original time and space complained that their status was not as good as that of their counterparts in the stick country, but with the passage of time, the status of domestic screenwriters is actually getting higher and higher, and it happened that he once read a report on the price of the script, and the specific time is not clear. It should be in 2012, when the highest remuneration for domestic TV drama screenwriters has exceeded 300,000, there are a lot of 200,000 people, and there are a considerable number of 150,000 people, and some people have even touched the ceiling of 400,000 or 500,000 under special themes.

Although the current situation in this world has not reached that level, he deliberately searched on the Internet, and the price of the scripts of several top TV drama screenwriters in China has already exceeded 100,000, and it is not clear how many there are, but the newcomer screenwriters with good scripts are not too rare to get a price of 2-30,000 yuan, even if the screenwriting level of "Huanzhu Gege" is not the top batch, but it is "Huanzhu Gege", how can it not be less than 20,000! If it is lower than 20,000 yuan, then the price of cabbage is not enough to describe how low the price of "Huanzhu Gege" is.

"Okay, for the time being, let's prepare according to your plan, Sister Bing, but don't worry about the single, the most important thing at the moment is to negotiate the production of Li Man's new album, Hanhai Records wants to borrow me as a gimmick to hype, no problem, although they hype theirs, but ours must be ours." Maybe they don't think that I have the ability to really serve as a system, but I hope that Sister Bing can have more confidence in me, and talk about my remuneration according to the fact that I can really serve as a system, and strive to maximize the benefits. Speaking of which, this is actually our opportunity, Hanhai Records doesn't think I have the ability to be a producer, so in the face of our offer, I think it's just talking anyway, I don't think I will care too much, and in the end they will regret it. ”

The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth turned up slightly, and then said: "The specific details of the cooperation, naturally, Sister Bing, you have full authority to operate, I will mention my basic requirements, the first point, the cost of making the album must be sufficient, 500,000 is the bottom line, try to get closer to 1 million, and it is easy to do things with more money; The second point is that album royalties can be compromised, but new media royalties must not be compromised; Thirdly, I hope that Hanhai Records will be able to start the preparations for the album production now, and I will also go to Yanjing as much as possible, listen carefully to Li Man's voice, and then write songs for her. ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me." Xia Bing said confidently, whether Jiang Lin really has the ability to be the producer of the album or not, as an agent, what she has to do is always to fight for the best treatment for her artists, and what Jiang Lin just said is so careless, it makes her feel more or less expectant, it seems that Jiang Lin really has that ability, not just talking.

"Sister Bing, you do things, of course I don't worry, let's talk about one more thing, the script will be ready in two days, and then Sister Bing, you will have to face more difficult challenges." Jiang Lin smiled.

"I try, I try." This time Xia Bing didn't have a big package, no way, relative to music creation, she didn't have any bottom of Jiang Lin's screenwriting ability in her heart, as long as she thought of the reality that Jiang Lin had just been admitted to the Literature Department of Yenching Film Academy, it was difficult for her to have confidence in Jiang Lin's screenwriting works, and she had been dealing with film and television crews for several years, and she knew how difficult it was to write a good script.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I said Sister Bing, as my agent, can't you have a little confidence in me?" This is not conducive to the development of your work, you know, it is likely that because of your lack of confidence in me, the interests of the guide will be damaged, which is not good! ”

"You can't blame me, my confidence in you is based on what makes me confident in you, and now I don't have enough confidence in you, which can only mean that you are not doing enough, and you must continue to work hard to prove yourself." Xia Bing smiled unfoolishly.

"Well, I'll prove myself, don't be too surprised!" Jiang Lin smiled.

"Strive, strive!" Ending the call with Xia Bing, looking at the computer screen, exhaling, Jiang Lin cheered himself up, and threw himself into the hard handling and typing again.

The subsequent development of things was as Jiang Lin expected, I wish to use the gimmick to hype it up earlier, and I was afraid that Jiang Lin would suddenly repent, Hanhai Records, gave the green light to his request, although it has not reached the point where there is no opinion, but it can definitely be regarded as a good treatment.

After some discussion, Li Man's album production fee was finally set at 800,000 yuan, which is already a relatively high specification in Hanhai Records, and Jiang Lin's remuneration was set at 100,000 yuan, which is the normal remuneration level of this position system, of course, in fact, it stands to reason that Jiang Lin, an inexperienced pink newcomer, will never get such a high salary, but the problem is that the management of Hanhai Records does not think that Jiang Lin can really sit in this position.

At the same time, in addition to the basic remuneration, the two parties also agreed that if Li Man's new album sells more than 100,000 copies, Jiang Lin, as the producer, can also receive 3% of the net profit of the album in addition to the remuneration received in advance, which is also the market price.

As for the price of Jiang Lin's tailor-made songs for Li Man, they will be agreed on a case-by-case basis depending on the quality of the songs, but the royalty ownership will be clarified first.

In addition, for Jiang Lin's request to start the preparation of the album now, Hanhai Records domineeringly promised that as long as Jiang Lin needs it, the production team can be in place at any time, fully revealing its strength as a large company.

After almost negotiating the terms of cooperation, Jiang Lin did not immediately leave for Yanjing, tossing the script is one thing, and more importantly, after redeeming the reward of the famous teacher's music director, he now has no song to redeem the reward, before officially intervening in the production of Li Man's new album, the first thing he has to do is to play a complete track with piano and guitar according to the system task.

Two days passed in a flash.

"Huanzhu Gege", looking at the script sent by Jiang Lin in the mailbox, Xia Bing raised her eyebrows slightly, she hates historical dramas or something.
