Chapter 476: Big Cards

Han Jin got up early to accompany Guan Zhilin out shopping, and left the representatives of those record companies and brokerage companies to dry for another day.

After a night of discussion yesterday, they finally determined the level of the contract for Han Jin, but they didn't expect to rush over early in the morning, but they actually pounced again.

Since it was not known when he would return, several people waited for him at the hotel for another day.

This hotel is not only home to a singer Han Jin, but also many artists who come to participate in charity performances live here. When they went in and out, they couldn't help but be very curious when they saw so many representatives of record companies and brokerage companies downstairs. I don't know who is so powerful, it is amazing to make these cattle people wait here willingly.

Seeing the doubtful glances of these artists who came and went towards them, these representatives couldn't help but feel a little depressed. They are usually the kind of people who are on top, even if they sign a contract with an artist, they generally take the initiative, occupy an advantage, and are in the top position.

If a singer or a songwriter knows that they can get their favor, they will often burst into tears of excitement at the first time.

But I didn't expect Han Jin to be such a big name, he hung them for a long time yesterday, and he refused to show up today. They waited from morning to evening, and no one came back until nine o'clock in the evening, which really made them so depressed that they were about to vomit blood.

But if you want to leave but are reluctant, no one will let go of the benefits of millions of pounds. What's more, it's been waiting for so long, and it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer.

Han Jin got up early to accompany Guan Zhilin out shopping, and the two of them came to Sloan Street again. That is, the British luxury street, commonly known as "Money Street", and then frantically sweep the goods like visiting the vegetable market. is even more local tyrant than those local tyrants in later generations, and let these British Yankees see the power of the Chinese thirty years in advance.

I kept buying, from the street to the end of the street, spending more than 20,000 pounds, which surprised all the merchants along the way. There are many people who buy luxury goods, but there are not many rich people like them who buy luxury goods as groceries.

Han Jin knew that he was sweeping the goods like this, and he looked a little cheesy of a tyrant. But he just likes the feeling of spending money as he wants. Spending money is originally a way to vent and pursue pleasure, if you have to take into account other people's opinions at this time. Affect your relaxed mood. It's really better not to spend money.

Guan Zhilin has bought countless large bags and small bags, and she feels very satisfied, even if her foot is about to break, she is still very happy.

"Alright. It's getting late. It's time for us to go back, too. Han Jin hugged Guan Zhilin and said. Her feet hurt so much now that she couldn't walk. Who made her so beautiful all the time wearing high heels?

"Well, I'm going back to take a good bath, I'm tired." Guan Zhilin also frowned slightly.

"Well deserved. It makes you greedy enough to visit so many stores at once. Han Jin smiled, "It's okay now, I guess your feet are swollen." ”

"I'm in pain and happy." Guan Zhilin smiled proudly.

Han Jin also smiled, "You are happy enough, you have spent more than two million Hong Kong dollars in the two days before and after." Buying these useful and useless things is really a waste of money. ”

"Why do you feel distressed when you spend money on me, just spend money on others, right?" Guan Zhilin pouted and said in disgust.

"It's so painful that I can't walk, so don't keep thinking about pinching the tip." Han Jin shook his head and said, "I mean you can save this money, buy a house or buy a storefront, it will be possible to appreciate in the future, not to mention, even if you rent it out or start your own business, isn't it also a good way to make money." Now you can buy so many clothes, shoes, and purses, how many times can you use them, and pile them up in the closet and take up space, it's a pure waste. ”

When Guan Zhilin heard Han Jin say this, she suddenly felt that she had suffered a big loss. With more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, you can buy a good façade in Tsim Sha Tsui. The monthly rent is tens of thousands of yuan, although it is not too much, but it is better in the long run. And according to what Han Jin said, even if he turns around and sells it, he will be able to make another profit.

Unlike these luxury goods, after wearing, they become second-hand and will depreciate. And she buys so many luxury goods, in fact, not all of them can be used. These luxury goods are introduced many new clothes every year, and many of the clothes she buys are already outdated before she has time to wear them.

And we all know that once the fashion is outdated, the value will drop directly. Although there are also collectible varieties in luxury goods, such as luxury watches, accessories, luxury cars, famous wines, limited edition luxury goods and so on. But when she bought it in the past two days, she didn't consider the concept of collection at all, and pursued the latest fashion.

The so-called latest models are often the first to become obsolete, because only classics can be eternal, and only then can they have the value of collecting. It's like Chanel's black dress, which is a timeless classic. And these latest clothes she buys, although they can attract attention for a while, may not be eliminated by fashion trends in less than a year.

"Ah!!! Why didn't you persuade me earlier! Guan Zhilin shouted depressedly. I knew that she really didn't want to buy so many luxury goods, and went back to Hong Kong to buy a façade house, even if she was kicked in the future, at least there was still a family property, and it would not be much trouble.

"I advised you earlier, and you have to listen too." Han Jin smiled and said, "Okay, don't be sad, after I make a lot of money in the second half of the year, I will pay to help you create a good career." ”

"Really?!" Guan Zhilin blinked and looked at Han Jindao in surprise.

"If I promised, did I have a time when it didn't count?" Han Jin looked at her with a smile and said.

"Great, Ah Jin, I knew you were the best for me." Guan Zhilin took the initiative to send a fragrant kiss.

Han Jin couldn't help but smile, he knew that Guan Zhilin was a business-minded woman, and it was said that she became a little rich woman by flipping in real estate, and her net worth was hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Since you have this ability, don't waste it.

Han Jin also didn't want her to stay at home every day and be a rice worm who only knew shopping, beauty, gossip, and pie. It would be great if I could help him take care of his business. As a person from the past, Han Jin has a lot of ideas to make money, so he doesn't have to use it in vain.

Han Jin wasn't worried that Guan Zhilin's wings would stiffen and leave him. Because no matter how much money she makes, she will never be able to live by herself. His potential is better than that of Li Jiacheng、、。

……

took Guan Zhilin back to the hotel, and there were still some people waiting for him in the hall at the moment. As soon as he saw Han Jin appear, he immediately swarmed over.

Han Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw them swarming over, "Zhizhi, you go up by yourself first." ”

"Oh." Guan Zhilin nodded, and went straight upstairs by herself.

Because she is not the main character, no one pays attention to her. Besides, now European and American singers come and go with beautiful women at every turn, hugging each other. They have also seen a lot of the phenomenon of hugging left and right. Han Jin is relatively civilized.

"Mr. Han, I am the representative of EMI Records, and our company has offered you very favorable conditions, are you interested in talking about it?"

"Mr. Han. Do you have an agent for those two songs? We at PolyGram can help you with the copyright business. Guaranteed to make your two songs widely used. ”

"Mr. Han, have you signed the brokerage contract now, our PIC company guarantees to provide you with a full range of promotion. Please consider joining us. ”

……

Representatives of these record companies, brokerage companies and business companies constantly lobbied around Han Jin, and for them, Han Jin was a gold mine with unlimited potential.

Within two years, he had written more than 150 songs, and all of them were bestsellers. And most of the songs can be called excellent even in the eyes of British musicians.

Such a strong creative ability is more powerful than some well-known music creators in Europe and the United States, which naturally makes Han Jin's value soar. Many music companies just took a fancy to Han Jin's ungodly creative ability, so they wanted to sign him into the company, act as an agent for his music works, and make huge profits from it.

In Europe and the United States, record companies, brokerage companies and music companies are the three pillars of the record industry.

Among them, the record company is responsible for producing the albums, the brokerage company is responsible for the singers' careers, and the music company is responsible for the copyright of the musicians' works.

After a song is created by a musician, it will be handed over to a music company to take care of. According to the style and quality of the songs, the music company selects the right record company and the right singer to promote. , selling rock songs to Queen, selling punk music to Prince, and more.

Once these songs are adopted, they generate royalty income for musicians and companies. This part of the income is a fixed fifty-fifty points, even if it is a big-name musician, it is also this proportion.

Musicians are responsible for writing songs, and companies are responsible for promoting songs. After the record company gets the song and thinks it is suitable, it will contact the agency to find a singer to come and record the record, and then carry it out. Record companies mainly receive royalties from the records, and singers and agencies, musicians and trade companies also receive a cut of them.

The cost of making a record is generally borne by the record company, and according to the level of the singer, the investment varies from one to the other. Like an unknown little singer, the cost of making zuò may be tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars can be done. , Queen, and the cost of record production may exceed one million.

In addition to being responsible for paying for albums, the record company is usually responsible for the promotion work, which leads to a large investment in the record company, so if the singer's record sales are not as expected, the record company is likely to lose money. And singers have always been called "seafood", and they are sold at a high price when they are fresh today, but they may be out of fashion in a blink of an eye, which is not uncommon in the record industry.

Many singers have been critically acclaimed on their first album, and their second album may be a carrot. Therefore, record companies usually lose a lot, unlike brokerage companies and music companies, which have very little upfront investment, but they do not lose to record companies in terms of commission.

The agency is responsible for managing the business of celebrities, helping them contact various performances, concerts, advertisements, events, etc., promoting their artists, helping them do public relations, and taking a cut of the artists' income.

Many singers in Europe and the United States are singer-songwriters, and they sing their own works.

For example, the Beatles, such singer-songwriters can not only share the royalties of songs equally with music companies, but also get record royalties from record companies, and can also collect performance royalties from TV, radio, bars, etc., and can also collect simultaneous royalties from TV series and movies, and can also collect print royalties from books and advertising slogans......

From here, it can be seen that singer-songwriters like these make much more money than singer-songwriters who simply sing. And it's clear that the money they make is a trickle, and as long as their songs are still listened to, they'll always be able to collect royalties.

And although these singers who simply sing make a lot of money for a while, as soon as they stop singing, their lives are usually in an embarrassment.

, she's not a singer-songwriter. After fading out of the music scene a few years ago, she faced severe financial pressure. Thanks to the American Idol, she signed her as a judge in time and gave her a commission of 20 million US dollars, which alleviated her urgent need. (To be continued!)
