Chapter 147: Shredding the Contract
The two contracts are slightly different in terms of various resource allocations, but I have to say that compared with the rookie contract signed by Zhimenjie and Huayi Brothers, I don't know how much stronger!
Originally, Menjie's contract was probably able to share forty percent of the profits from the total wealth earned, not to mention the film and television industries for the time being, Huayi Brothers once promised Menjie to record an album for Menjie every year, with a minimum of seven first-class songs.
And among the two new contracts, the first one, the slightly lighter contract, is much better than the previous contract!
There is a clear statement in this contract that in the future, whether Menjie releases albums, singles, holds various solo concerts, or participates in some activities as a singer, Menjie will get fifty percent of the income from it.
Such a price is not a lot, at least in the industry, it is already regarded as an ordinary first-line singer, and the treatment is good.
With Menjie's current C+-level and second-tier singers' top singing skills, although there is still a line away from this level, it won't take long to reach this level, and getting such a contract is really nothing!
Moreover, in the contract, Huayi Brothers also assured Menjie that every year in the future, they will produce an album for Menjie, and each album will provide Menjie with at least 15 high-quality songs for Menjie to choose by himself, and select ten of them.
At the same time, every year in the future, the company will provide a top song for Menjie, although it may not be carefully selected, which is very suitable for Menjie's top songs, but it can also be seen that Huayi Brothers is really ready to cultivate Menjie!
At least among today's Huayi Brothers, I am afraid that only Yuquan and Huang Zheng, the two leading figures of Huayi Brothers Music Company, surpass themselves in terms of treatment!
Yuquan, after years of accumulation and the support of Huayi brothers. Now he has stepped into the ranks of top singers. Whether it is strength or popularity, it is not comparable to Menjie, and the treatment naturally exceeds Menjie, and he is the 'first brother' in Huayi Brothers Music Company.
And Huang Zheng, although he has not stepped into the level of a top singer, at least among the first-line singers, he can be regarded as an old qualification, and his strength is obtained through years of accumulation. In the Huayi Brothers Music Company, it can be said that it is second only to Yuquan and is the second person in the company!
And Menjie. If you sign this contract in your hand, although the treatment is not as good as these two, you will be ranked as the third person in Huayi Brothers Music Company. Still no problem!
"This contract ...... Very good indeed! ”
Nodding slightly, Menjie was very clear about the Huayi brothers' attitude towards wanting to keep him, and he knew it. Smiled confidently, picked up another contract and looked at it.
The second contract. It is more than the previous one in two aspects, and Menjie believes that with his own strength, he will definitely be able to take it down!
The new album only needs to sell more than 1.5 million copies to get this second contract, and Menjie still has some confidence in this!
With a slight twinkle of his eyes, Menjie understood the difference between the second contract and the previous one!
This second contract. It shows that as long as Menjie's next album can reach 1.5 million copies, after the next contract takes effect. Whether it is Menjie releasing albums, singles, holding various solo concerts, or participating in some activities as a singer, Menjie will get sixty percent of the income from it.
Sixty percent of the profit, which is a full percent more than the previous contract!
Yicheng, which seems to be not much, but the connotation of the representation is an existence that no one can ignore!
Normally, after signing a contract with a music company, the share that a first-line singer can get is usually between 50% and 60%!
After reaching the top singer, the score can be improved, between seventy percent and eighty percent, and the highest honor, after the singer becomes a real king-level singer, can he get ninety percent, or even higher!
Share, which represents not only the number on the money, but also the ...... The difference in status!
Nowadays, Menjie's two contracts, the first part is divided into 50%, and the second part is divided into 60%, it is obvious that in the eyes of Huayi Brothers, Menjie's value has completely reached the level of a first-line singer!
It's just that in the first contract, Menjie's value is similar to that of ordinary new generation first-line singers, and in the latter contract, Menjie seems to have regarded Menjie as an old brand or an extremely powerful first-line singer!
At least in Huayi Brothers Music Company, it is no less than the No. 2 person Huang Zheng, second only to the first brother Yuquan.
Of course, in addition to the profit sharing, there are some subtle problems in the contract, for example, in the second contract, Huayi Brothers promised Menjie an album every year, and each album will provide at least 25 high-quality songs to choose from!
In terms of top songs, Huayi Brothers also promised that Menjie would be included according to Menjie's own requirements, and if Menjie could not be included in the top songs that Menjie was satisfied with, they would make up for Menjie's two top songs to be released on the album.
This kind of treatment, Menjie knows in his heart that it is definitely not inferior to Huang Zheng, the company's No. 2 person, and it should be a contract second only to Yuquan!
"How? These two contracts are still satisfied, right? ”
Seeing that Menjie had finished reading the two contracts, Mei Mei smiled confidently and said softly.
In her thoughts, these two contracts are definitely not something that a newcomer like Menjie who has only debuted for less than a year can refuse, and Mei Mei is full of confidence in Menjie signing this contract.
She didn't believe it, Menjie would refuse!
"Tear up!"
Menjie didn't speak, he directly picked up the first contract and tore it in half, Mei Mei was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"Sister Mei!"
Tearing the first contract in half, Menjie grinned and turned his head to look at Mei Mei, "I think these two contracts are ...... It should all be changed slightly! ”
"How?" Mei Mei raised her eyebrows, a little puzzled about the purpose of what Menjie did, and asked softly.
"The first contract, if I hadn't sold 1.5 million albums...... I don't want any new contracts, so I will continue to use my current new contract, and I will share 40% of the remuneration! ”
"So confident!"
Listening to Menjie's words, Mei Mei, who probably had an idea in her heart, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Menjie's eyes full of admiration.
In Mei Mei's eyes, as a young man, a young idol, it is obviously not possible to be prosperous, follow the trend of the times, and show a 'sissy' appearance, only a man full of water chestnuts and self-confidence can rise and emerge from the thorny entertainment industry.
And Menjie is obviously such a man!
In Mei Mei's eyes, such a man can not only be popular, but definitely popular!
Even Mei Mei herself likes this kind of man very much!
"Self-confidence, I have never lacked menjie!"
Menjie grinned and said softly, "But...... Sister Mei, if the grades are not good, I am willing to give up the interests of Yicheng, but if the grades are good, ......"
"You mean, sacrificing this first contract to give the second one a little more treatment?"
There was a faint smile in her eyebrows, Mei Mei shook her head gently, "Menjie, you think too well, but it's a pity that it's ......"
"The company itself has also gone through some discussions, and feels that your new album has a better chance of breaking 1.5 million in terms of sales, and if you want to sacrifice the 10% interest of the first contract to increase the 10% interest of the second contract...... The company will never agree to it, this is a gamble in disguise! ”
"And gambling...... You should know that the chairman of our company is a person who doesn't like gambling and doesn't like everything unknown! ”
"Of course I know this!"
Menjie nodded slightly, for the character of the company's legendary chairman, who has been in the company for a long time, he naturally knows a little more, and shook his head indifferently, Menjie said softly, "I don't want to rely on this profit to ask for the weight of my second contract in the company, I just have some other small problems, I want to discuss it with Sister Mei!" ”
"If it's just a few minor issues, no problem!" Hearing this, Mei Mei nodded and looked at Menjie curiously, wanting to know what Menjie's little question was.
"These two contracts will allow me to continue to work in Huayi Brothers Music Company for three years, so I want to predict what the company thinks in terms of movies and TV series?"
Menjie thought for a while, and said more seriously, his attitude was decent, and his heart was actually full of expectations.
Normally, a singer who is on the right track, whether it is a second-tier singer, a first-line singer or a top singer, signs a contract with the company for three years, and these two contracts are no exception, and Menjie has no opinion.
Now what Menjie cares about is whether he can take the opportunity to break away from Huayi Brothers in terms of TV and movies!
In terms of movies and television, Menjie can easily get one role after another with the Tianwang system, and has little to do with Huayi Brothers, even if he leaves the company, Menjie can continue, not only will there be no obstacles, but he can also get some convenience!
At least some producers who have a bad relationship with the Huayi brothers will not refuse to play a certain role because Menjie belongs to a certain company!
But music is different, if there is no strong company, whether it is production, distribution, or charting, it is a hard and troublesome thing for Menjie, so Menjie is ready to continue to sign contracts with Huayi Brothers Music Company, as for movies and TV series......
In Menjie's view, it is better to be able to become a free body, not to be bound by the outside world, and to be free! (To be continued.) )
