"This ......" Wang Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, "So many reporters came over, was it arranged by the company?" ”

If it's arranged by the company, then it doesn't matter if they have an interview. If not, then it's a bit of a hassle.

"I don't know, I don't write it in this workbook." The field notes are also confused.

"Then don't you call and ask!" Wang Jing roared.

The reporter ran to make a phone call, and at the same time, the noise grew louder, and it looked as if the reporter and the staff had quarreled.

When Wang Jing saw it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he didn't dare to offend these uncrowned kings. Otherwise, if they scribble, wouldn't the movie be unlucky?

"Brother Jing, don't worry, why don't I go over and take a look." Han Jin couldn't help but smile when he saw that Wang Jing's cold sweat was coming down.

"It's okay, you pay attention to safety. And say a little more good things about our movie. Wang Jing nodded and said.

Han Jin smiled and strode over, "Alas, don't make noise, don't make noise." Journalists, give me face, let's not quarrel first. ”

"Han Jin is here~" "Han Jin is here!" ”

As soon as they saw Han Jin coming over, these reporters immediately rushed up and almost knocked down the staff who were blocking there.

"Everyone, be careful, be careful, don't squeeze, don't squeeze~" Han Jin hurriedly instructed.

"Mr. Han, we are reporters from Oriental Daily, and I want to ask you if you will agree to poach the record company for 4 million Hong Kong dollars?"

"You didn't win the Most Promising Newcomer of the Year award yesterday, how do you feel? Can you tell us about that? ”

"Mr. Han, may I ask if the arrangement of the album "Touch Nica" is really you, so why is it named Mr. Gu Jiahui?"

……

One after another, the reporter's questions bombarded like a cannonball.

However, Han Jin was not frightened by these menacing reporters, and still kept a smile, "Please don't be in a hurry to ask questions, I am filming the drama "The Frog Prince", and I am currently in a hurry to shoot, so I don't have time to receive friends." ”

"Please go back first, and I'll discuss it with the company. Hold a press conference at an opportune time. When the time comes, you can sit down and talk slowly. Don't rush it. After Han Jin finished speaking, he bowed to all the reporters present, and then quickly retreated.

All the reporters present wanted to ask questions when they saw it, and at this time, the staff on the set also arrived. Look at the human wall made up of dragon and tiger warriors. These reporters had no choice but to retreat.

"Ah Jin. I've already asked. The company did not arrange reporters to interview, presumably they heard that you were filming here, so they came to me myself. Wang Jing said.

Han Jin nodded. He had already guessed that these reporters had been found by himself. If it was arranged by the company, it would not have been so many media at once, and they would have been greeted beforehand.

"Okay, Brother Jing, don't care about those people, let's start filming quickly." Han Jin smiled.

Wang Jing nodded, and was about to arrange for Han Jin and Zhong Chuhong to enter, when he saw the drama staff panting and running, "Director Wang, Han Jin's drama has been suspended, and he has to go back to the record company." ”

"Do you know why?" Wang Jing frowned and said.

As a director, what I hate the most is that the actors adjust the schedule every once in a while. Han Jin is leaving, and today's dozen scenes have to be rearranged, and in the future, they have to arrange time to make up for another scene, which is really quite troublesome.

"It seems that someone from a Japanese record company wants to see Han Jin." The drama said.

"Wow~" Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help but wow.

Japanese music is quite well-known throughout Southeast Asia, and many singers such as Masahiko Kondo, Hideki Nishijo, and Momoe Yamaguchi are all big stars who are popular all over Hong Kong.

And being able to go to the Japanese music exhibition has always been regarded as a very high honor by singers, like Miss Deng Lijun, the top diva in the Chinese music scene, who is now at the Japanese music exhibition.

"In that case, then I can't stop people's future. Ah Jin, you better go back and have a look~" When Wang Jing heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said.

Han Jin nodded, and then left in a hurry with everyone's envious eyes, got in the car and went straight to the record company.

……

Back at Huaxing Records, Han Jin got out of the car and was invited to Su Xiaoliang's office.

In the office, there were two Japanese people sitting.

Although they didn't introduce themselves, Han Jin still recognized them at a glance as Japanese, and definitely not Hong Kongers, Taiwanese, or Singaporeans.

"Ah Jin, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Kawasaki Yue, the deputy director of the artist department of Sony Records in Japan, and this is also Mr. Takeo Ono, the head of the artist department of Sony Records." Su Xiaoliang said with a smile.

Han Jin smiled and smiled at the two Japanese in Japanese, "Mr. Kawasaki, Mr. Ono, hello!" I'm Han Jin, please advise! ”

Hearing that Han Jin could speak Japanese and spoke it quite fluently, Kawasaki Yue and Takeo Ono couldn't help but be taken aback, but then they couldn't help but smile at each other. If Han Jin knows Japanese, then it would be easier to bring him to the Japanese music exhibition.

Su Xiaoliang's mouth opened in surprise when he heard Han Jin speak Japanese, it was the first time he knew that Han Jin could speak Japanese, and he was so fluent, which really surprised him.

"Ah Jin, you can even speak Japanese?" Su Xiaoliang couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Oh, I've learned a little bit before, and it's not very good." Han Jin smiled.

Su Xiaoliang nodded suddenly in understanding, and then smiled, "Since you know Japanese, it would be great." I called you back today because Mr. Kawasaki wanted to invite you to the Japan Exhibition. ”

"To Japan?" Han Jin couldn't help but be stunned, "Then what should I do with the drama I'm filming now, I still have a four-year contract with Huaxing." ”

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Sony Records plans to borrow someone from our Huaxing Records, sign your record contract in Japan, and let you sell records in Japan. But you are still our Huaxing singer. The brokerage contract was also signed on our Huaxing side. Su Xiaoliang said with a smile, "When you turn around, you can run at both ends, Japan can also release records, and Hong Kong can also release records." What do you think of yourself? ”

"If the company is fine, then I am fine, and it is good to be able to make an extra record and make a little more money." Han Jin said with a smile.

Sony Records is one of the world's three major music giants in the future, and Sony Pictures is also one of the world's six major film companies. Han Jin is naturally willing to use this platform to exhibit.

"Good. Since you don't have a problem, then it's settled. Su Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the company will fight for the highest interests for you." ”

Han Jin smiled. "Mr. Su. I also know a little bit of Japanese. Why don't you let me join the negotiations, maybe I can help. ”

He didn't fully trust Huaxing Records, in case they wanted to make money. Sell yourself cheaply to others, then he will want to cry without tears.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, where the brokerage company and the record company have reached an agreement privately to sell the interests of the artist and buy and sell the artist as a slave and a commodity.

Because artists are restricted by the contract, they can only be wronged, and not only can they not make money, but they may even lose their artistic lives.

Han Jin didn't want to be sold as a piglet, no matter how good Su Xiaoliang agreed, he would personally participate in the negotiations.

Su Xiaoliang couldn't help but be stunned when he said this, and then nodded with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

……

Later, Han Jin joined the negotiations between Huaxing Records and Sony (Japan) Records, and the negotiation conditions between the two sides were not too different, mainly because the Japanese record industry was very good, and there were already precedents to follow.

How much dividends a record artist can have, and the remuneration for advertisements, announcements, etc., are also open secrets, and there is not much to argue.

However, Han Jin hoped that he could serve as the producer of the record, which Kawasaki Yue and Takeo Ono did not agree to for a while.

The reason why Han Jin proposed to be a record producer is that in addition to avoiding himself from becoming a record company puppet, more importantly, the share of the producer is much higher than that of the singer.

If an album sells for 1,000 yen, then the singer can only get 9 yuan, the lyricist and composer can get 17 yuan each, and the album maker can get 90 yuan, which is more than the singer and songwriter combined. Most of the rest of the money was split between record companies and retailers, with record companies accounting for $546 and retailers accounting for $300.

It can also be seen that record companies are very strong in Japan, and a record can recover its cost as long as it sells tens of thousands of copies. But if a singer wants to make a lot of money, then it is not enough to just release a record. The real money is still in advertising, concerts and peripheral product sales.

Kawasaki and Takeo Ono don't believe that Han Jin has the strength to make zuò records on his own, because in addition to having a certain appreciation of music, record producers must also have a keen sense of the market, and know what kind of music can move people's hearts and attract music fans to buy.

Kawasaki and Ono Takeo didn't believe that the young Han Jin would have such ability, and the cost of an album was very high, and they didn't want to make the record company lose money because of Han Jin's lack of ability.

Su Xiaoliang also knows that in Japan, the share of record producers is quite high. As an artist of the company, the higher his income, the higher the company's commission, so he also supported Han Jin to be a record producer.

The two sides went back and forth, arguing with each other, and discussed for two days, and finally determined that Han Jin could act as a person to control people, but he was to act as a person with others.

Just like he is in Huaxing Records, the difference is that although Huaxing Records is a nominal system, there is no money to collect, even Li Xiaotian is just earning a salary. In Japan, whether you are a nominal or a real producer, you can participate in the record sharing.

Therefore, in order to make more money, many singers in Japan learn to write lyrics and compose music by themselves, serve as producers, and participate in record production as much as possible. In this way, you can not only prolong your artistic life, but also get a share of the money. After all, the singer's nine-thousandth share is too little.

After it was determined that Han Jin could act as a record producer, the next negotiations went much smoother. For Han Jin and Sony Records to sign a contract for a few years, how many records can be released, how much money to spend to promote him, etc., they have also been negotiated one by one.

In the end, it was agreed that Han Jin and Sony Records would sign a one-year "One Plus One" record contract, which meant that if the first record sold more than 100,000 copies, a second record could be prepared for him. Of course, if a record does not sell 100,000 copies, then the second record will not be released or not, and then we will have to negotiate again.

In the 80s, Japanese record sales were not too high, and selling more than 100,000 copies was a gold record, and it could almost enter the top 100 of the annual singles chart.

The "Top 100" may sound frustrating, but with more than 500 records released every year, it's not easy to break into the top 100.

In order to make Han Jin start in Japan, Huaxing Records and Sony Records of Japan agreed to let him participate in the Tokyo Music Festival in Japan in April.

If he can win an award at the festival, he will be able to use it to spread his reputation in Japan, so that he can do more with less in the future. Mei Yanfang participated in the Tokyo Music Festival in Japan last year and made a name for herself in Japan.

If he participates in the Tokyo Music Festival in April, he will have enough time to finish filming "The Frog Prince" and will have enough time to prepare his own Japanese album. (To be continued!)
