Chapter 168: Plenty of money
"Dongshen is leaving?" Even if he saw the news with his own eyes, Song Chenghao couldn't believe it. "Two months after you return? Don't they still have a lot of songs that are not promoted? ”
"Brother, are you still asking me?" Wu Zairong was helpless, "Are you an agent, or am I an agent?" "He still knew about this matter first, from Shen Changmin.
It stands to reason that agents should be more well-informed than artists, which is related to business capabilities.
"Isn't this because Jae Rong is close to Dongshen?"
Close? "It's not close now."
This so-called "war" stirred up by the media made the relationship between him and Dongshen, except for Shen Changmin, the other four become stiff.
"Could it be that you didn't win in Zairong and ran away."
"Brother, don't put gold on my face, I'm embarrassed."
Yes, in this collision, he had the upper hand, but it was not to the extent that people fled from the wilderness.
Although the sound source and influence are ahead, the album sales are still slightly behind.
sighed, "It should be that something happened to the Japanese market, and they had to rush over." "That's the pain of juggling two markets at the same time.
In addition to the fact that there are so many trips that there is no rest time, it is a great test of physical strength, such a choice will also make the popularity and attention of the collection lose in vain. This is also the reason why Wu Zairong is reluctant to go abroad too early to develop.
"Of course, I'm just guessing." Because it is related to the company's secrets, Shen Changmin can't say too much, and their agent management is still strict.
Wu Zairong said casually, but Song Chenghao thought so. "Yes, after all, the music market in Japan is much larger than in South Korea. Even the albums are more expensive to sell and make more money. Of course, S.M is more concerned about the market over there. ”
"Do you make a lot of money?" No matter how good it is in Japan. South Korea has always been the home base. In this way, it is the shareholders of S.M who will benefit, and the future of Toshin will be damaged.
"Speaking of which, since Toshin interrupted his return and rushed to Japan, doesn't it mean that all your competitors in Zai Rong no longer exist." Song Chenghao pinched his fingers and calculated, "If you work hard in Jae-young, maybe you can be like Kim Jong Kook last year." Become the Triple Crown. "It's not an exaggeration, but Wu Zairong's three episodes are too influential, and on the premise of no opponents, they almost lock in the big prize.
"It's hilarious." Wu Zairong covered his head, "Brother, I didn't say you, what are you thinking?" Aren't the three major TV stations holding the Song Awards this year, where did the triple crown come from? ”
"Mistakes, mistakes. I'm older. It's easy to forget things. ”
"Okay, brother, pack your things, I'll have a fan meeting later."
"You don't have to worry about it. I'm the broker. ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The fan meeting has ended, and the glory of the audience has still not dispersed.
Stand in the background. Looking at the pure and bright silver sea off the field, Wu Zairong was full of emotion.
His affection for glory. It is not immutable, but has undergone a tortuous and changing process.
At the time of debut. The feelings for glory are the most intense and the most immature. A sense of accomplishment, and possessiveness. I am very happy with the love of Honor, and I have a sense of accomplishment, and I hope to have more food.
It's probably been more than a year, and the busy daily affairs have made him enter a burnout period. For this group of people who have given him love and have broken into his life a little roughly, the feelings are very complicated.
And now, it's more of a habit and dependence. It is because of their support that I have the courage and motivation.
The mood has changed, and the only thing that hasn't changed is gratitude.
Glory, for him, is the loveliest group of people.
"In Rong, what are you still in a daze. Hurry up and get in the car, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the show if you are blocked by fans. ”
was interrupted by Song Chenghao's voice, "I know, I'll come." Wu Jaerong stopped in a daze.
As soon as he got into the nanny car, a pile of white paper was stuffed into his hand by Song Chenghao. "CF endorsement again?"
During this time, because his popularity and popularity skyrocketed, advertisers were optimistic about his commercial value. With all his strength, he waved the money in his hand and placed a contract in front of him. Although it is good to be able to make money, looking at the terms of the contract makes him vomit.
"Hmm. This is the endorsement of Samsung's mobile phone. ”
Samsung? Wu Jaerong was a little surprised. Endorsements for Samsung mobile phones are generally only issued to top artists.
Winning this war of the Eastern God is still very beneficial.
For example, he got the strongest title of the new generation, although this title is basically not used except in variety shows.
For example, it has gained more popularity and made fans more proud, and the number of registered Glory in FansCafe has exceeded 140,000.
For another example, the album sales of "Black" exceeded 300,000 copies, which is more than three times the sales of his second album.
Also, the contract that flies like a snowflake is a better contract than before. They are all endorsements for half a year or one year, and the price is higher.
As far as the contract he signed in the past two months, the amount on the contract has exceeded 12 billion. This also means that, not counting other aspects, he also has three billion yuan in his pocket in terms of endorsement income alone. The annual income should be able to steadily exceed 8 billion, twice that of last year.
After reading the contract, there is nothing unsatisfactory.
One-year term, 400 million won. This is still Samsung's advertisement, and the national degree of the product itself has a role in promoting his popularity.
Without thinking much about it, Wu Zairong picked up the pen and signed the artist's item.
handed the contract to Song Chenghao, "Brother, I really regret it when I think about it." ”
"Regret what?"
"When I debuted, it would be nice if I pulled the skin with the president and signed a higher share ratio." Wu Zairong sighed a little.
His contract is better than the blood-sucking rookie contract of the Eastern God. But on the other hand, S.M provides all the nutrients that Toshin needs to grow, and the strong resource advantage is worth that contract. And YG did very little for him.
He writes the songs, and the program will come to the door without the company's arrangement. As for endorsements, aren't they all flying over?
"Twenty and a half is too little, and the company makes the most of it. The company didn't make much effort and just waited to collect the money. "Even BIGBANG has a higher share than him, even though they earn five people equally.
Of course, this is just talk.
His solo debut was not in the company's plans in the first place.
This temporary plan was proposed by Yang Hyun-seok and can be said to be semi-mandatory.
At that time, he even barely got the opportunity to debut, how could he be qualified to bargain. In the case of an unknown future, four years, divided into two and a half, is already a very benevolent result.
If you want to get a higher share, of course, it's not impossible.
An artist like him, who is popular, has a kind image, has top singing skills, and has excellent creative and production strength, is a treasure no matter where he goes.
More than 20 brokerage companies, including JYP and DSP, have sent him invitations, and they pay liquidated damages, and the conditions are generous.
Still, he refused. It's not pleasant, but it's better to stay until the end of the contract period.
He still has some feelings for YG.
Looking at the street lamps flashing outside the window, Wu Jaeyoung fell silent. (To be continued......)
