Chapter 76 Contract (3rd Update)

The small dinner was not very long, and it was dispersed at one o'clock in the morning, during which it was happy, but there was one thing that made Chen Jin a little embarrassed, that is, when he was led by the high-level of wireless to meet those rich and celebrities, a few rich ladies seemed to covet him.

The matter of rich wives and male stars is known all over the world, and it is not uncommon, and even the battles in the major award ceremonies are not only the disputes of the record companies, but also the gladiatorial battles of the big names behind some singers, so there are few ugly men at the awards ceremony, and even if there are, they can't get the most dazzling awards, it's too difficult and too difficult.

The record is like this, and the movie is like this, anyway, the dark side in it is a bit alarming, but that is not a matter of the entertainment industry, Chen Jin doesn't want to pay attention to it, and naturally he doesn't want to get involved in it.

That's not all, there are actually some men who look at him with color, which makes him very cold, but fortunately, there is not much time, and he leaves immediately after a little greeting.

He still has a doubt, that is, he is so good, it is said that someone should have thought about it a long time ago, but today after the game, everything was fine, in this regard, he could only think that Chen Zichen contributed a lot in it, or, hehe, the woman herself was the first to be near the water, and she was the first to start.

The excitement that should have been almost consumed in the dinner party, and when they returned to the hotel after the dinner, although there were almost no rules, even Junying and the others did not plan to party all night, but after chatting for a while, they went back to sleep. Perhaps, there is a reason that the energy is exhausted during the competition, or perhaps, there is also something that needs to be ready to sign a contract immediately, which is a major event in life, and everyone has to recuperate.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Lian Junying and the five of them said goodbye to Chen Jin one by one, everyone is still young, and when they encounter big things, the first thing they need to find is their family, friends and acquaintances who are familiar with this industry, only Chen Jin seems to be unable to go anywhere, although the wireless ban on him has been lifted, but the Hong Kong government and the police station are limited and sufficient.

Even Junying was the last to go, Tang Baoru also went downstairs first, holding his hand, although he only left for a short time, he seemed to be a little reluctant, and said softly: "I haven't been home for a long time, I may have to stay at home tonight, you should be careful by yourself, don't worry about signing the contract, ask Sister Fang first, and then discuss ・・・・・・ when I come back." ”

This girl is still so innocent, Chen Jin didn't want her to worry, and deliberately smiled lightly, "You can rest assured, Sister Fang has already promised to help me, but you should pay attention to your own side, let your father pay more attention, otherwise not to mention making less money, the main thing is that it is too tired, let the family be called like a slave, it is better not to do it, just find another job to do, anyway, there is no shortage of you at home to make money, if you want to release records and sing, when I have the strength in the future, I will pay for you to record." ”

"yes, got it!" Lian Junying's heart was sweet, and she was a little reluctant to pull out her white and tender hands like jade onions from Chen Jin's warm and generous hands, waved his hand, and slowly turned to leave, "I will definitely come back tomorrow, you pay more attention to yourself." ”

When the five of them left, Chen Jin was not in a hurry to go out, he had to think about what to do next, how to contact people and talk about the record contract.

The most important clause in the record contract is naturally the remuneration of the singer, which generally comes in two forms: guaranteed royalty plus share, full buyout (other such as song royalties are not counted, here we will say that the singer receives when the simplest record is released.) )

The guaranteed royalty plus share is the singer's share of the guaranteed royalty and the singer's share of the royalty income.

The singer's share of the guaranteed royalty is the royalty payable to the singer in proportion to the royalty income of the record company that should be paid to the record company when the singer releases the singer's album, and the royalty income paid by the distribution company to the record is determined by the distribution company. The singer's share of the royalty income is the royalty payable to the singer in proportion to the part of the income obtained by the distribution company from the release of the artist's album in excess of the guaranteed number of releases (royalty income refers to the actual income from the sale of the artist's album at a wholesale price).

This form is also good and bad, under normal circumstances, that is, newcomers or singers who are not too popular, can only get the lowest guaranteed royalty plus share, no matter how much it is sold, it is the share ratio, of course, this share ratio is also high.

If it's popular, it's different, we can often hear some popular singers in the entertainment news say in interviews that if his album sells how many copies, the extra part, the company also promises to give him a lot of dividends for each album, this is the time to reflect your value.

Of course, there are also the super-popular superstars, especially the kind of album sales are very guaranteed, they are very likely to sign a second kind of full buyout contract, that is, the big name we often hear about signing a record company with a certain record company, such as five records in five years, with a total amount of 100 million yuan, and so on.

This full buyout, the singer is only responsible for a series of activities such as recording and releasing records with the record company, as for whether it sells well or poorly, it has nothing to do with him, he just takes so much money anyway (to put it mildly, what a singer really makes money is not the release of films, but the appearance fees of various commercial performances, the income of concerts, advertising revenue, etc., even if you sell a record for five platinum or ten platinum, it is not as good as you take a few commercial performances and open a few full concerts, and selling five platinum and ten platinum is not a simple matter.) Hold on for now, we're only talking about the record contract. )

There is no specified time for the full buyout, that is, there are other conditions that the singer in the record contract is more concerned about, and if the time is specified, the record may be more rushed, especially the more popular one, there are many things, and the quality of the record that is driven out in this case may be average, which will affect the image of the singer.

There are also such as publicity, production and so on, if the company is willing to spend money on you, publicity everywhere, it is natural, it will be good for your record and popularity, and this kind of thing is actually very scary.

The production aspect also includes many aspects, whether the singer has the right to pick songs, whether he has the right to participate in the production, and what is the skill level of the behind-the-scenes personnel who write the lyrics and songs, etc.

The most important aspect of production is the question of the producer, and the music producer is a bit like a film director, whose task is to produce, design, and produce the record that best suits the singer's strength and style. Just like the gold medal producer played by Leslie Cheung in the movie "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", he is able to take care of the biggest characteristics of every singer and let him give full play to his strength, so he can make some manufacturable materials quickly become big stars.

In the real world, Zhang Yusheng's eldest brother is a famous gold medal producer, Zhang Huimei and other diva figures in the Chinese music scene are his popular, his keen sense of music, consideration of everyone's voice and singing characteristics, can find the most suitable song for that person, and maximize his advantages.

After all, not everyone has the demonic singing skills of Eason Chan and Jacky Cheung, and almost all songs can be pinched with ease.

Although Chen Jin has good singing skills, he also hopes that a gold medal producer will help him, if he is a mediocre person, it will definitely be bad for him.

The above understanding of the record contract comes from Sister Fang, brother and Brother Zhang Yusheng, some of them were asked by him, and some were told to him by others, but this is not all after all, there must be some things in the record company that these three big names don't understand.

But he doesn't have an agent, even if he doesn't care about the remuneration at this stage, there are too many things in the contract that he can't grasp, and even, some things may have to be added temporarily, how to mention those things, but not stiff, not abrupt, etc.

It's not in a hurry, leisurely wandering in the hotel while reading the news about him in the newspaper and on TV, while thinking about how to deal with it, he didn't go out until two o'clock in the afternoon, he finally planned to explore the road first, and then talk about it, to see what conditions Universal and Polygram can give him, anyway, it is impossible to negotiate a contract at one time, unless they can give conditions against the sky, it sounds more like a fantasy.

The Linhai Hotel is just behind the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, next to the seaside, and the name is derived from this, which is quite close to where Chen Jin and his family live, coming out of the hotel, along the tree-lined path next to it, through the middle of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and TVB City, it takes about 20 minutes to walk.

It's not easy to go out, the rookie singing contest has just ended, he is the hottest time, how can those paparazzi be stupid to withdraw, so Chen Jin asked the waiter to quietly call the taxi to the underground passage and did not avoid these guys, blocked at the exit, those guys are not polite to the taxi driver, resolutely do not let go, and are not afraid of the driver hitting people, patting the window and shouting at Chen Jin: "King, as the uncrowned king of this rookie singing contest, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"King, according to the regulations of the Hong Kong government, you will no longer be able to stay in Hong Kong after the competition, do you have any countermeasures?"

"King, I heard that PolyGram and Universal are interested in you, will you stay at Huaxing Records like other singers?"

"King, ・・・・・・ you?"

ps: The murderous third watch is coming, dear, what do you say about the fact that voting for a recommendation can make the author feel happy? - What, resolutely vote, and all of it! - Good, good, you're a good comrade, yes, that's you, that's right!
