81. Invitations

All the worries are concentrated on this day, and from the beginning of the morning until now, there is not a single thing that please please be happy, really, hey. Needless to say, there's only this chapter for today......

……

Early morning. When Lee Jun-hyuk returned from running, he received a call from Kim Jong Kook. I have made an appointment before, and today he will accompany Kim Jong Kook to the gym to work out together.

After the recording that day, the dinner party did not take place. Because Kim Jong Kook and Lee Jun Hyuk are both in business, Kim Jong Kook is going to SBS at night to talk to the choreographer of the variety show department to talk about the script and prepare to start recording Xman, and Lee Jun Hyuk has to go back to the coffee shop immediately because of a phone call from Kim Soon-ae.

However, before leaving, the three of them still made a contract for the song and signed it.

Kim Jong Kook and Bang Si Hyuk did not lower Lee Jun Hyuk's share just because he was a newcomer, and Fang Si Hyuk proposed to let Lee Jun Hyuk share the price of a quasi-first-class composer, and Kim Jong Kook even suggested that he sign directly at the price of a first-class composer.

But all of this made Lee Jun-hyuk refuse, to be honest, he didn't care about the money, although for composers, song copyright is their main source of income, but for Lee Jun-hyuk, the profit created by all the copyrights of the whole song added up is not comparable to his monthly income in a coffee shop.

Lee Jun-hyuk estimated that even if this song is popular all over South Korea, and then it has been popular for three years, every song hall and variety show will be used for broadcasting, plus Kim Jong Kook's public performances, commercial performances, etc., and he can only get about 20 million won in royalties from these things together. And his current coffee shop has created a profit of more than 50 million for him a month.

Of course, for composers, they can't have only this one work, so big-name composers like Fang Shihe, because they have many works, spread well. Only when you gather a small amount of money will you get a large amount of royalty fees.

Therefore, for Lee Jun-hyuk at this stage, music is just something he has to do, and he neither wants to make money with it, nor does he want to make it his ultimate career. Maybe in the future, when he really likes music, his mind will change, but now, music is just a dream that Lee Jun-hyuk has realized for his comrades-in-arms.

Speaking of which, Lee Jun-hyuk has already realized Havin's dream of opening a coffee shop, and the dreams of the other four are also being carried out one by one.

And becoming a music producer and a singer is the dream of a pair of twins in their team, speaking of which, when Lee Jun-hyuk was in the army, the so-called band they formed was led by these two brothers. It's just that when they were about to leave the army, they stayed in the Middle East forever.

To get back to the point, under Lee Jun-hyuk's resignation, the final distribution of the three parties is like this, Lee Jun-hyuk receives 12% of the copyright as a rookie composer and earns a one-time fee of 1 million won, while Fang Si-hyuk accounts for 8% of the copyright as an adaptor and earns a one-time income of 3 million production costs, and Kim Jong Kook and his company account for 80% of the royalties and pay a one-time production fee of 4 million yuan.

In fact, this contract separates the cooperation between Fang Shihe and other singers.

Normally, Fang Shihe's income is 20% of the copyright plus the production fee, but the production fee can be negotiated alone, and the 20% copyright is fixed, this time because Li Junhe is the songwriter, so he gave him 12% of the copyright according to the newcomer's share price, and then got the remaining 8%. It sounds like exploiting Lee Jun-hyuk, but in reality, he deserves it, because without him, the song simply wouldn't have been so good.

……

Putting down the phone, Lee Jun-hyuk rinsed it briefly, and then ran downstairs to get himself something to eat.

Lee Jun-hyuk actually rarely goes to the gym to exercise, because of the habit he has developed since childhood, most of his daily exercise methods are not special relying on equipment, and in his home, there are only two horizontal bars hanging from the ceiling, which is convenient for him to exercise his arms and waist and abdomen.

But this time Kim Jong Kook's invitation, he couldn't refuse, not to mention that Kim Jong Kook taught him a lot of useful knowledge in singing, that is, for Kim Jong Kook's heart of planning to introduce a few friends to him, he also had to become his love.

Although the location of the gym mentioned by Kim Jong Kook is also on Cheongdam-dong, and it is only a kilometer away from his coffee shop, he still has to wait for Kim Jong Kook to come before he can go with him, for the simple reason that the fitness institution they go to is a membership certification system and is only open to people in the entertainment industry.

Although Lee Jun-hyuk is already new to the entertainment industry, his first work has not yet been interviewed, and no one knows what he does, so he can only apply for a membership under the guarantee of Kim Jong Kook and obtain the qualification to enter. Although it is very troublesome to do, it creates a relatively relaxed environment for celebrities.

When Kim Jong Kook came to Lee Jun Hyuk's coffee shop, it was close to noon.

"Brother Zhong Guo, you called me so early, but I thought you would arrive soon, but I waited all morning, why did you come here so late." Seeing Kim Jong Kook, Lee Jun Hyuk opened his mouth to complain, indeed, it was not 7 o'clock when he finished running in the morning, but look at it now, his coffee shops have been open for almost an hour.

"Ah, Jun He, when you do this in the future, you will know that even if it is a day off, there will be a lot of things, when I call you, I really plan to go directly to you, and I can try your craftsmanship by the way, but something happened to the company, so it was delayed." Hearing Lee Jun-hyuk's complaints, Kim Jong Kook explained.

"In this case, then I'd better consider not being a singer in the future." Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk said with a smile.

"Don't, if Fang Shihe knows that you don't want to do this because of my words, he won't have to hunt me down. You don't know how to do it, he is very optimistic about you now, and thinks that you can not only become a very good producer, but also a singer, if you become popular in the future, it is that he has created an original singer with his own hands. Although Kim Jong Kook knew that Lee Jun Hyuk was joking, he still stopped him again and again.

"Well, I'm just kidding." Seeing Kim Jong Kook's appearance, Lee Jun Hyuk hurriedly explained.

"I know it, but this kind of joke is not so easy to make, if you are not joking, wouldn't it be a big loss to the Korean song industry." Kim Jong Kook continued.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhong Guo, don't put a high hat on me, I can't find the north soon. I don't know what time you have an appointment with the gym, if you're not in a hurry, let's have a light meal at my place. "Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so Lee Jun-hyuk invited.

"Well, when I called Brother Bingxian, he didn't know how to praise you for the delicious food here, and this time I can also feast on it. But Jun Hyuk, you know the way......"

"Brother, you don't eat fried, don't drink coffee, don't eat everything that is not good for your health, I know the way, don't worry, I will definitely give you delicious and healthy food, you sit first, I will come when I go."

Kim Jong Kook sat down, and immediately a waiter served the tableware and tea, with the precedent of Lee Byung-hun last time, so when they saw Kim Jong Kook this time, they were much calmer, which also made Kim Jong Kook feel very comfortable.

After a while, Lee Jun Hyuk was serving a variety of dishes.

"Brother, although I didn't make these dishes, I can guarantee the taste, you can taste them." Since handing over the position of chef of the restaurant to Yang Lei, Lee Jun Hyuk has never cooked at the opening of the coffee shop, on the one hand, because he has complete trust in Yang Lei's craftsmanship, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of respect for Yang Lei.

"Wow, this tastes so good. It seems that it will come more often in the future. "I tried every dish," Kim Jong Kook sighed.

"Ha Luha, if you like it, you are welcome to come often in the future." Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk said with a smile.

"But Junhyuk, are you interested in coming to my company?" Suddenly, Kim Jong Kook said to Lee Jun Hyuk seriously.

Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk paused slightly, then looked at Kim Jong Kook's expression carefully and found that he was not joking. "Brother, why did you suddenly have this idea?"

"Because I'm very optimistic about your future development, you can make such a good song at such a young age, plus you are calm and studious, I believe that even if you make your debut as a singer in the future, you will create a good result, so ah, sign you while you are not famous, and you will not lose money." Kim Jong Kook smiled and said.

"Does Brother Hehe know about this?" Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk asked tentatively.

"You don't have to worry, I'll talk to him over there, and besides, you're just studying with him, not signing a contract with him, so it's nothing, although my current company is newly established, and I'm the only artist to sign a contract, but this may not be a bad thing for you, because the company can give you a more lenient contract and a relatively large amount of freedom, Jun He, I'm really optimistic about you." Seeing Lee Jun-hyuk's slightly hesitant expression, Kim Jong-kook hurriedly explained.

"I know that it will make your mind very confused when you suddenly say this to you, so you go back and think about it, and when you can decide, tell me that no matter when, you are welcome here." Kim Jong Kook also knows that this kind of thing is urgent, and besides, whether it is him or his company, it is now a stage of starting anew, although he said that he can give Lee Junhyuk relaxed conditions in the contract, but in fact, his brokerage company is not a particularly good choice now.

It is precisely because of the conditions on his side that Kim Jong Kook is so anxious to send an invitation to Lee Jun Hyuk, and he knows that in a few months, when his second album is released, there will be many companies looking for this new producer. And an invitation was sent to him. By that time, his company simply didn't have the ability to compete with other big companies.
