Chapter 484: Signing a Hundred Generations

The agency that Su Xiaoliang found for Han Jin was none other than EMI Records.

Han Jin is no stranger to this record company, and he has dealt with it once before.

His disco selection album is known as Bandai Records, which has traveled to European countries.

At first, EMI Records didn't pay much attention to Han Jin, because his album sold only 20,000 copies a week, which was not a good result in the British music scene.

However, to their surprise, the album sold thousands of copies every day, and it has continued to this day.

If you talk about red, the number of thousands of copies per day is indeed not red. But if it is not popular, the cumulative sales now exceed 500,000 copies, which is a very good number.

In particular, Han Jin's album is a selection, with a total of nearly 30 songs, all of which are dance songs from his past two years, and are divided into two high-level albums, both of which are priced twice as high as ordinary albums. In this way, the sales of 500,000 copies are actually equivalent to the sales of nearly one million copies, which is actually very good for Han Jin, a newcomer.

If you change to another singer, the first album will sell millions of copies, which can definitely be called a miracle. But on Han Jin's side, it was tepid, mainly because it took too long.

If he can sell more than 500,000 copies a week like other singers, it will definitely cause a very big sensation. The blame alone is that his album sales did not suddenly explode, but have been kept in a low position, like an undercurrent underground. It seems to be silent, but in fact, it contains great power.

Albums like this, which sell thousands of days every day, are generally only found in classic albums like The Beatles, Sting, Queen, etc. Because their albums are so good, even if they have been in the market for a long time, they will still be bought after the promotion period.

didn't expect Han Jin, as a newcomer, to have this situation on his album, which really puzzled EMI Records. In the UK, for example, album sales certification actually requires the record company to pay for it, and then the British Recording Association will follow up the investigation.

But EMI Records has not paid for this. Therefore, although the sales of Han Jin's album have reached the results of gold records. But it has never been exposed, which also leads to the fact that although his album sales are good, he is not famous, so that he has sold more than 500,000 albums. But it is still misunderstood as an embarrassing scene for newcomers.

Now with Han Jin's blockbuster performance at the Save Africa concert. His popularity in the UK skyrocketed. Album sales have also received a big boost, and in just two days, his disco selection albums have been sold out. Within two days. The sales of a full 100,000 copies are the sales results of the previous month.

With Han Jin's fame in one fell swoop, EMI Records also attached importance to Han Jin, and this time in order to win his agency, EMI Records put forward very lucrative conditions.

For example, in terms of agency commission, EMI Records only takes 6% of the profit, which is 1% less than the agency commission of other singers. And what they lose can be recouped in terms of record agents.

Although Han Jin's new album is not yet good, just looking at the current popularity, I know that it will definitely achieve very good results. If EMI Records can take care of it, it is guaranteed to achieve extremely high sales. It is completely possible to compensate for their losses in terms of economic proxy commissions.

Han Jin also knows that EMI Records is one of the world's top five record companies, although in the new century because of the decline of records, it will be split and acquired by Sony and Universal, but in fact, in the 80s and 90s, this record company is still very beautiful.

Like Queen, Spice Girls, B Lue, Mike Learns to Rock, Radiohead, etc., are all its singers, and they are really thriving.

And because this company is a record company rising in the UK, it has a very strong influence in the UK and Europe, especially in terms of channels.

Han Jin also thinks that if he wants to exhibit in the UK, it is a very good thing to join EMI Records, but it is only limited to the UK and Europe.

In the U.S. and American markets, he still believes in BMG, Columbia Records, Universal Music, Sony Records, and other record giants that have risen from the United States.

Therefore, when signing a brokerage contract and a record agency contract with EMI Records, Han Jin first made a distinction in terms of geography.

Although EMI Records is a world-renowned record company, its influence in the Americas is indeed inferior to that of American record companies. After all, Britain is too far away from the Americas. For the United States, these American countries are like their backyards. American record companies in those countries inherently have an advantage that EMI Records does not have.

EMI Records also knows this, so although it feels a pity, it signed a corresponding agreement with Han Jin.

After the two contracts were signed, EMI Records expressed great interest in Han Jin's music business contract.

EMI Records is not just a record company, it also has an artist department, a creation department, a recording factory, a copyright department, etc., like a music copyright company, which is also one of its main revenue channels.

Every year, the profit contributed by these lyrics and music copyright libraries to EMI Records is more than 40% of the company's annual revenue, and it has almost reached 50% of the profit.

The reason why there is such a high income is because the music industry is a business that is almost capitalless. They are only responsible for providing the rights to the songs, and then divide the royalties with the songwriters, and the cost investment can be said to be very small.

Han Jin is now in the field of more than 30 English songs, and the music copyright of each one is now in his hands, and what he sold before was just the right to use it.

Because his records are selling so well now, the value of these music rights is starting to skyrocket. Especially Han Jin's three songs "You Are Not Alone", "One Family", and "Save the World" sung at the Save Africa concert, as well as his "Last Christmas", which is familiar to all British people. It's even more valuable.

EMI Records has long seen the benefits in it, and if these songs are handed over to them as agents, they will definitely be able to reap huge profits. Because these songs are now hot, everyone knows these songs, which allows them to save a lot of effort when they are in line.

Moreover, these songs are indeed rare good songs, for them, they can be compared to the Beatles' "Hey, Judy", "Yesterday", "Let It Be", etc., the value of creating zào should not be underestimated.

Han Jin is not exclusive to music. However, he does not believe that EMI Records can take good care of the copyright of his songs. You know, EMI Records is different from other record labels. Like Universal Records, Sony Records, and Warner Records, they are not stored in Zài, and they also have many brother companies behind them, forming a huge entertainment giant.

Like Universal Music, Sony Records, and Warner Records, they all have their own studios, publishing houses, magazines, and television stations. And there are also big consortia such as General Motors of the United States, Sony of Japan, and Time Warner behind the scenes. Influence is felt all over the world.

And EMI Records is much thinner in comparison. Its main business is in the record industry. When the New Century record industry fell into a low ebb, EMI Records' performance declined sharply, so that it was finally forced to sell.

And like Universal Music, Sony Records, Warner Records, etc., although they are also facing the same crisis. But because they have brother companies that can share the cost, and there is a consortium behind them to support them, even the biggest storm can be carried over.

Han Jin wants to choose a partner to work with, and naturally wants to choose more stable ones, such as Universal Music, Warner Records and Sony Records, like EMI Records, although it looks good now, but it is in danger of being sold in the future. For Han Jin, it's better not to get on this doomed Titanic.

You must know that the record contract and brokerage contract have an expiration date, and he can jump ship and leave halfway. But once the music industry contract is signed, it is a lifetime plus fifty years, that is, if Han Jin's "One Family in the World" is signed to Baidai, then in his eternal life, this song will be recorded by Baidai. And even fifty years after his death, the song was also recorded by EMI. In the future, there will be no copyright for this song, and it can be used by people as they like.

In other words, once the music contract is signed, it is forever. When the time comes, it will be impossible to regret it, and don't think about going down when you get on the thief ship.

Han Jin plans to make money by writing songs in the future, and he will write tens of thousands of songs in one go, so he won't have to worry about it in the future. Therefore, the music industry is more important to him than the music industry, and he must find a more reliable music company. And EMI Records is obviously not in his interests. Han Jin still prefers Sony, Universal and Warner.

Failing to get Han Jin's music rights is a very hurtful thing for EMI Records.

You must know that a classic pop song, his performance royalties alone can reach millions of dollars. And the classic pop songs that Han Jin now has in his hands are more than one. This is tens of millions of dollars in profits, and who knows if Han Jin will write more good songs in the future, after all, he is only nineteen years old now, and the days ahead are still long.

Now that such a large profit has slipped away, it makes EMI Records feel very sad, but they can't help it. Han Jin owns all the copyrights of the songs, then he is the boss, if he doesn't give it to you, he won't give it to you, and if he dares to mess around, he will break the law. At that time, the copyright law of the British Empire will protect Han Jin's interests very well.

……

After signing a record house contract with EMI Records, Han Jinsan's songs "One Family in the World", "You Are Not Alone", and "Save the World" were released by EMI Records in the UK in the form of singles.

"One Family" sold 100,000 copies in a week, rising to the fourth place in the UK singles chart, which is very gratifying and the best result achieved by Han Jin so far.

And "You're Not Alone" and "Save the World" also followed each other in the next few weeks, and also achieved very good results, with the highest "You're Not Alone" rising to the runner-up on the singles chart.

Under the arrangement of EMI Records, Han Jin also accepted interviews with many British media, and appeared on the British BBC TV and TV programs, and also appeared on the cover of the largest "Spectator" magazine in the United Kingdom, and became a popular figure in the United Kingdom for a while.

Although Han Jin is Asian, in terms of physiognomy, although he is not as three-dimensional and distinct as the high-nosed and deep-eyed facial features of Western countries, he is still relatively handsome.

Besides, Han Jin has always been sensitive in the fashion field, so his clothes are very suitable, so he has a fresh, sunny and healthy temperament, which has attracted a lot of girl fans.

In addition to their handsome appearance, the beautiful music and chic dancing made British boys and girls crazy. Han Jin showed off a hip-hop dance on BBC TV, TV and other programs, and his trendy, dynamic and gorgeous dance posture immediately went crazy with the British boy, making him an idol of thousands of boys and girls overnight, and also greatly stimulated the sales of his dance music albums.
