Ye Zi didn't think about it for a long time, so he agreed to Wenhui's request, and in the final analysis, it was Wenhui's offer that he would never interfere with his creative freedom that really moved and persuaded him.

Of course, the record deal was only executed from the second album. The first album is now a dead end, and it can't be changed.

After getting the record contract, she immediately took the initiative to reduce the commission ratio for the second year, from the original agreed 28% to 25%, and the third and fourth years were also adjusted proportionally. After this adjustment, the regressive commission rates for four-year contracts will be 30%, 25%, 22% and 17% respectively.

Such a commission ratio is unique in the music circles of Xiangjiang, Taiwan Strait, and mainland China in this era.

From the moment the record contract for the second album was obtained, except for the album production, which was still in charge of Ye Zi and Ziguang Company, all other promotion, publishing, distribution and other things were all handled by Wenhui Entertainment. In this way, Ye Zi can be completely relaxed, except for the idea of making an album, he doesn't need to continue to worry about other things, he just needs to follow the performance, publicity and other plans arranged by Wenhui Entertainment Company every month.

That's a good thing.

And at the same time as getting the record contract, Wenhui once again increased the amount of publicity funds. Ye Zi roughly calculated in his heart, according to the annual publicity funds of nearly one million Xiangjiang coins after the increase, it would be difficult for Wenhui Entertainment to make much money from Ye Zi at least in the first two albums, unless Ye Zi's second album was a big sale, six platinum and seven platinum sales. But if that's the case and everyone can make money, then what else is there to say?

Some people may say that Ye Zi lost a lot after the record contract was signed. Originally, 100% of the income of each album was from Ye Zi and Ziguang, but according to the commission ratio just now, it can only get 83% at most, so isn't it that every album in the future will make a lot less money?

Well...... On the surface, this may seem like nothing wrong, but that's not really how things are calculated.

Take Ye Zi's current album as an example.

The contract for this album is still in Ye Zi's hands, and even the promotion costs this time are paid by Hua Xing (actually Sun Yun), Ye Zi has no loss except for travel expenses, just wait to collect the money when the time comes.

But in fact, this fee has always been deposited, and Ye Zi can't get 100% of it anyway. And each subsequent album still needs a lot of money for publicity, otherwise the popularity that Ye Zi has accumulated will decline sharply.

Singers need to stay in the eyes of fans at all times, let them know, let them understand, let them like it, and finally achieve the purpose of buying albums, watching concerts, etc. Every singer has changed from obscurity at the beginning to Xiaohe, and then gradually transformed from a famous singer to a famous star in the music world, and there is a need for publicity at every moment in this process. Only when the little singer becomes a superstar can he take a breath a little and no longer need to serve in the night camp.

If you want to publicize, you need to spend money, spend a lot of money, so who will pay for it? Will Sun Yun continue to make up for every album in the future?

That's impossible.

Now this album is a contract signed privately by Sun Yun without Ye Zi and Brother Keny, and Ye Zi doesn't know it. If Ye Zi knew that this was the case, he would definitely not agree, then this publicity expenditure would still be counted on Ye Zi's head.

Next, Ye Zi is bound to spend a lot of money on each album for promotion. Then instead of Ye Zi spending this money himself, it is better to convert it into a suitable commission ratio, and let the brokerage company (record company) help Ye Zi with his work. Ye Zi's own record company does not have this kind of ability to do things at present, so the best candidates are still Wenhui and her Wenhui Entertainment.

Flower star?

Just like what Wenhui said, they can't count on it, why should people bother with Ye Zi, an outsider? With this time and effort, wouldn't it be better for people to do something more for Chen Yichen? After all, Chen Yichen is Huaxing's "own son".

It is better to rely on others than on yourself.

If Ye Zi continues to do the work himself, of course it is possible to save a little, but it is more likely to make a mess of everything. Ye Zi is good at singing and creating, and he can afford to put everything down on the recording system, but he is not necessarily good at promoting such a professional thing. It's okay to come up with ideas based on the experience of his previous life, but if he really wants to plan it all, it's not something Ye Zi can do. Taking a step back, even if Ye Zi is a genius in the sky, there is nothing he won't do, but ...... Is that necessary?

Zhuge Liang had to bow down to everything, but he was tired to death.

Ye Zi doesn't want to be Zhuge Liang in the music world.

Professional things are left to professionals, and it is reasonable and normal to pay some price for this. In the past, he didn't have such a candidate, so he had to go into battle shirtless, but now that he has a candidate, he has to do it himself, isn't that asking for hardship? If Ye Zi, who was reborn, couldn't even think about this, and didn't even want to pay this price, he would simply go back to his previous life.

What a rebirth!

……

"Ye Zi, I will personally serve as your agent."

A few hours later, Wenhui put the unrecognizable Wen Jiàn into her bag, and then said with a smile.

This afternoon, her harvest far exceeded expectations, and Wenhui was extremely satisfied.

"Hmm...... In addition, I will give you another assistant, Ye Zi, do you have any other requirements? Need a babysitter? ”

"Huh? Sister Hui, are there any other terms? Why is it not over yet! Ye Zi shook his head, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and answered the question.

After an afternoon of non-stop discussions, Ye Zi really felt a little tired, and the whole person's reaction was half a beat slower than usual, and even the luck of the exercises could not improve such a situation, which had never happened in the past. On the other hand, Wenhui also experienced a long period of consultation, but she was still full of energy, full of energy, and did not feel tired.

The ancients: There is a specialization in the art industry.

That's true.

Let Ye Zi sing songs for an afternoon, or play classical guitar for an afternoon, he will never have any problems, and the same is true for recording and arranging music for others. When Ye Zi was busiest a while ago, he used to soak in the recording studio from morning to night for several days, and he didn't see any mental distress. But this afternoon has only been a few hours, and Ye Zi really feels tired.

Tired from the inside out!

If it weren't for the impass, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to get out of this situation in the future, he really didn't want to waste time on it.

"Huh? Ye Zi, what are you talking about? Tantai Wenhui couldn't cry or laugh: "I just said that I will personally be your agent and match you with an assistant, what do you think?" Would you like to get you a few more babysitters? ”

This time Ye Zi heard clearly.

"Sister Hui, then I'm going to trouble you, that's all, that's it." Ye Zi nodded, and cheered up: "I'll just look at the assistant or something, I think it's troublesome, you can tell me directly if there is anything." ”

"Don't you really want to? Or...... Forget about the nanny, the assistant should bring one. Tantai Wenhui persuaded softly: "The assistant is the basic configuration of each company for its artists, and they can usually help artists do some chores, in case something happens to let them stand in the way, there is a room for maneuver." Besides, artists from other companies are accompanied by agents and assistants when they go out to do things, and larger companies will also have nannies and vehicles to follow. Next is the promotion period of your album, go out without an assistant and others will gossip, if you need to sing, do you still have to send the accompaniment tape yourself? ”

Ye Zi rubbed his face vigorously with both hands a few times, and the whole person was completely sober.

To be honest, Ye Zi didn't feel anything about assistants and nannies at all, and he never felt that it was really necessary for artists to bring assistants and nannies when they traveled. Is it a shame for a singer to send an accompaniment tape by himself?

Joke!

It's just comparison!

However, what Wenhui said is right, this is indeed the standard configuration of every record company or brokerage company in Xiangjiang and Taihai for its artists. But in Ye Zi's view, this configuration is, to put it bluntly, the most important thing is to play two roles, blocking the arrow and installing X, and the others are secondary and insignificant.

This situation is completely different in the Western industry, whether to hire an assistant or not to use a nanny is the artist's own decision, and the salary of these people is all borne by the artist himself, and the company will not interfere much in this. When an artist goes out to do things or performs, no one will think that an artist is not big enough to travel without an assistant or nanny, but there will definitely be an agent.

But when I arrived in Asia, it completely changed the taste, whether there were assistants and nannies to accompany me, how many assistants were invited, how many nannies were used, whether there was an exclusive image design and hairstyle design, whether there were vehicles to follow, what brand and grade of these vehicles were, etc., these have become one of the symbols of the status of artists or celebrities.

Even Wenhui, who has worked in WMA for fifteen years, will come to persuade Ye Zi to accept at least one assistant after establishing this brokerage company, which shows the strength of this habit.

"Okay, Sister Hui, then please help me arrange one, by the way, Sister Hui, I don't want a woman." People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and Ye Zi doesn't have the ability to challenge this habitual power now.

"You're beautiful." Yutai Wenhui sneered: "There is a young man in the company who is quite good, so let him accompany you." ”

Ye Zi smiled and said no more.

"Okay, Ye Zi, now that all the terms have been discussed, I will go to Sir Cai's mansion to find you at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with the official contract text, and I will invite Sir Cai and Sun Yun to be this witness and sign a formal contract with you." Wenhui put away all the things, patted the big bag containing Wen Jiàn, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister Hui, I invite you to dinner and congratulate us on reaching an agreement." Ye Zi immediately sent out an invitation.

Tantai Wenhui smiled and shook her head: "Forget it today, I'll come to treat me at noon tomorrow." Now I have to rush back to the company, and there are a lot of things waiting for me. After signing the contract tomorrow, I will go to Huaxing to find Keny in the afternoon and discuss with him about the promotion of your album. ”

"Don't worry, Ye Zi, leave it to me." (To be continued.) )
