Chapter 41 Signing

"Kawashima, how is this house?" Sakai Izumii asked.

"It's not bad eldest sister, the price, location, size, etc. are very good, the only requirement is that the requirements for stable income are stricter, but in this regard, since the eldest sister is a guarantee, there is no problem!" Kawashima said.

With that, the three of them walked into the apartment.

The quality of this apartment is very good, although the size is still not comparable to the previous residence in China, but at least it is much better than the room he lived in before.

"In fact, a large part of the people living in this apartment are talented people, so it is relatively safe for Mr. Zhou to live here." Kawashima Road.

"Brother, how is it here?" Sakai Izumii asked.

After the three of them walked into a room, Zhou Xiao looked at the bright indoor lighting inside the room, and couldn't help but say: "Of course it's good, it's much better than where I live, and I finally have a bed, I haven't slept in a bed for a long time." ”

"But there is no quilt on this bed, so my sister will give you a quilt." Sakai spring waterway.

"That's Sister Xiexie!" There is no need for Zhou Xiao to refuse this kind of trivial matter.

"Then sign the contract quickly!" Sakai Spring said a little anxiously, she even hoped that Zhou Xiao could live here directly today and not return to that closed small room.

With the intervention and help of Sakai Spring, things went quite smoothly, the monthly rent of 120,000 yuan for a small room is quite a high cost performance, such a haode room, the landlord originally felt that it was impossible to allow Zhou Xiao to pay only one month's rent for one month, but when Sakai Spring showed his name and made a guarantee, things became a lot simpler, and the landlord did not insist a few times, so he signed his name on the contract.

But what Zhou Xiao didn't know was that the landlord could agree so easily, Sakai Spring Water actually did more, this woman who didn't care too much about other people in her more than 30 years of life had already quietly told Kawashima when she called Zhou Xiao's house, even if Zhou Xiao couldn't pay the rest of the money, she would make up for at least half a year's expenses, and asked the landlord not to say anything about it.

After finishing the things here, Sakai Spring wanted to urge Zhou Xiao to move quickly, but Zhou Xiao thought about it for a while but still rejected her suggestion, after all, he has lived there for half a year, and many things have to be arranged, and those things that can't be used here must be sold, and the contact with the landlord over there must also be done, and there is another thing, he wants to get his contract as soon as possible, if he doesn't get the contract, when will his song come out?

After having another meal with Sister Quanshui at noon, Zhou Xiao sent his sister who was still a little reluctant to get into the car, and he himself called Uncle Inoue before taking the subway home, Uncle Inoue's work must be very busy, so Zhou Xiao didn't want to trouble him to run around, he just wanted Uncle Inoue to help contact an agent or lawyer who knew more about contracts while reporting the good news.

Uncle Inoue was very happy after knowing that Zhou Xiao had signed a contract with a music company, and said again and again, "I know that I didn't mistake you kid", and he quickly helped Zhou Xiao contact a lawyer.

"My lawyer friend is an old friend who has known each other for decades, and he can still be trusted." Uncle Inoue said.

After hanging up the uncle's phone, Zhou Xiao got on the subway and went to the law firm recommended by the uncle.

The lawyer recommended by Uncle Inoue looked at Zhou Xiao's contract very carefully for a while, and did not directly say whether there was a problem, but carefully told him everything in it, it seems that this lawyer thinks that it is more appropriate for Zhou Xiao's age.

"This contract is just a music publishing contract with a music company, and generally in our industry, such a contract is signed with another agency contract, but you don't have it, which means that it is only a contract in the field of music."

Zhou Xiao nodded, this is because he and being Nagato Daiyuki have been talking about haode for a long time.

"There is nothing to exploit in the details of the contract, during the period when the contract is in effect, all your music releases need to go through being and cannot be published by yourself or through other companies, the publicity arranged by being for you, once you agree to attend, you are not allowed to easily refuse without special circumstances, it can be said that this contract is very light in the company's control over you."

That sounds like that, right. So what if I want to write songs for someone else? Zhou Xiao asked.

"If you write for someone else, if you write it for other singers in the company, then everything will be divided according to the normal situation, but if you provide songs to singers of other companies and provide you with remuneration, the company will take a part of it, and the company will also take a part of it. Of course, the company will not take the royalties from the sale of CDs for songs. ”

"On the other hand, when you don't have so many obligations, you don't have much, or even almost none. The company will not pay you any fixed salary, and during the promotion period of the song, there is no notice fee for the various publicity activities arranged by the company for you. In terms of commercial performances, the company's share is also very low, the company arranges for your commercial performances, zuihou you get only 10% of all performance fees, of course, all the car and horse fees for such performances and announcements during the publicity period are paid by the company, and in addition, you also have the full strength to find your own notice, but even if you find your own notice, the company also has to take 65%. So relatively speaking, you don't take a lot of risk when you sign a contract with a being company, and you won't even pay anything. ”

Zhou Xiao nodded secretly, with such a great degree of freedom, he would inevitably pay these things, which he had been prepared for a long time.

"In addition, there are some regulations in the contract about music courses, the company can send music teachers to teach you, but the classes are not free, although you don't have to pay directly, but once your song royalties and other things arrive, the company will directly deduct the course fees and then pay you the remaining royalties." The lawyer explained.

This is also understandable, Zhou Xiao nodded, after all, he didn't pay anything on his side, and there was no reason for the company to take too many risks.

"That'...... Can I sign this contract? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Yes, if the conditions I just told you are that you talk about haode at the beginning, then there is no problem." The lawyer nodded.

"Good! Sign it then! Zhou Xiao clapped his hands and said.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiao arrived at being's building, and Nagato Daiyuki also waited at the door early, the two of them didn't talk nonsense, after Zhou Xiao took the pen, he signed this three-year contract.

"So, what am I going to do next?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Uh...... There's not much more to do. ”

"Nothing needs to be done? Don't need to go to work or anything? ”

"Of course not, what are you in our company, office workers? But now nothing does not mean that there is no future, then we will enter the preparation period for the promotion of your single, our company will not do too much in terms of publicity, and if the single is prepared, a song cannot be singled, we hope that you can prepare another song, or we can also provide you with a song. ”

"I'll just prepare it myself, and I'll tell you the truth, I didn't just write a song, I still have it before, but I can say it when it comes to choosing songs?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course, we want to listen to it, but since the title song has been decided, as the C/W song of the second song, it is not so important, and you can just choose at will."

"Okay, when will you listen?"

"Tomorrow, I have to contact a few people today, tomorrow morning you come to the company, and then let's go to the recording studio, after listening to your second song, let's finalize the tunes of both songs, and then we can find someone to arrange the music."

"Okay, then Mr. Nagato, I'll go first?"

"You're busy with your going, I heard from Kawashima yesterday, you're going to move today, right? Hurry up and find a stable place, so that the creative enthusiasm will be higher! Nagato Daiyuki said.
