Chapter 44 Fortune telling for Lin Qingxia

Deng Lijun had just slipped away with his front foot, and Zheng Zhenkun came over with his back foot.

He looked at Deng Lijun's back suspiciously, "Mr. Xu, that one was ...... just now."

"Oh, it's Miss Lin Qingxia's alumnus." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Zheng Zhenkun looked at Lin Qingxia, looking like he didn't believe it.

"Mr. Xu has something that I need your consent for." After Zheng Zhenkun sat down, he went straight to the point and said: "Japan's Polydor Records wants to refill the Japanese lyrics for your three songs and release an album for Teresa in Japan, I don't know what you think?" ”

"No problem, I'll allow them to refill the words." Xu Guanwu nodded.

"That's great, in terms of copyright fees, the Japanese side paid 150,000 Taiwan dollars to buy out, what do you think?" Zheng Zhenkun asked again.

"No, you can't." Xu Guanwu flatly refused.

There are two ways to charge the copyright of the song, one is a one-time buyout, and then whether the song sells well or not, it has nothing to do with the songwriter; The other is to share by record sales, so that if the record is a big hit, the songwriter will also make a big profit.

Previously, Xu Guanwu wrote "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Double Star Love Song" and so on for SAM Xu Guanjie, which were divided according to record sales.

Because Xu Guanwu knew that the album "Ghost Horse Double Star" would definitely be a hit, he chose to charge according to the sales share, which was far more profitable than a one-time buyout.

In the same way, Xu Guanwu naturally knows how classic "Sweet Honey", "I Only Care About You" and "Walking the Road of Life" are, so he would rather choose a long stream of water than make a hammer deal.

"That's right, that's okay." Zheng Zhenkun obviously made two preparations, and immediately took out a contract.

Xu Guanwu took it and saw that it was full of English, and he couldn't help frowning.

In his previous life, he had just passed CET-4, and he could still cope with reading some simple English short stories.

But for this kind of professional contract documents, his English is far from enough.

Fortunately, Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie are both top students of Hong Kong University, and they quickly helped Xu Guanwu read the contract.

"Mr. Zheng, the copyright share is only 3%, which is too little." Xu Guanjie pointed to the number on the contract and said, "You can also tell that my second brother's three songs are all A-grade songs, and good songs like this should account for at least 5% to 7% to be reasonable." ”

"Mr. Xu Guanjie, only top songwriters can enjoy this share. Although Mr. Xu Guanwu's three songs are good, his fame is not too great, so he can't enjoy this share ratio for the time being. However, once these three songs are sold, Mr. Xu Guanwu's fame will definitely skyrocket. At that time, if there are new works, you can enjoy high scores. Zheng Zhenkun explained.

"My second brother wrote "Ghost Horse Double Star" and "Double Star Love Song" for me all over Southeast Asia, and the album has sold more than 50,000 copies, how can you say that he is not famous enough?" Xu Guanjie argued.

Zheng Zhenkun saw that Xu Guanjie did not have the slightest intention of backing down, and he was reluctant to let go of those three good songs, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "It's not that I refuse to increase the sharing ratio, it's the condition of Japan's Polydor Records." However, in order to thank Mr. Xu Guanwu for his kindness, I decided to take 2% of our company's share to compensate. ”

Zheng Zhenkun figured out that the Chinese copyright of these three songs was a one-time buyout. But if the record sells well, the royalty must be much higher than the buyout price.

A 2% share of Japanese copyright records was exchanged for a 3% share of Chinese copyright.

In this way, in fact, Haishan Records still takes advantage.

"In that case, it's decided." Xu Guanjie saw that Zheng Zhenkun had already given in, so he didn't press forward step by step.

Xu Guanwu immediately signed a contract with Zheng Zhenkun and successfully sold the Japanese copyright of the three songs.

"Mr. Zheng, I plan to hand over this money to Miss Deng Lijun for handling, and you should also specify this on the contract." Xu Guan Wudao.

Zheng Zhenkun was taken aback, he was most afraid that Xu Guanwu would come to dig his corner.

In particular, Deng Lijun has signed a contract with Japan's Polydor and if it becomes popular in Japan in the future, Deng Lijun will become the chief singer in the Chinese music scene.

At that time, the profits brought to Haishan Records will exceed 10 million?

Such a golden doll, Zheng Zhenkun naturally wanted to hold it in his hands, how could he let Xu Guanwu snatch it.

"Mr. Xu, the copyright share is a trickle, it may not be much in the beginning, but it may accumulate to one million. Did you really decide to leave it all to Teresa? Zheng Zhenkun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to rise to one million. But after thinking about it, when the copyright fee accumulates to one million, he doesn't know how many billions of family assets will be there.

"I've decided, you can write it." Xu Guanwu didn't care.

Zheng Zhenkun couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, this is 5% of the record share.

Even Haishan Records, because of Deng Lijun's agent contract, it is only 10% of the profit.

"What a loser!" Zheng Zhenkun scolded secretly, he shouldn't have given him 2% if he knew this.

After signing the supplementary agreement, Zheng Zhenkun walked away quickly with a painful face, as if he would be angry to death by Xu Guanwu if he stayed for a while.

"Second brother, millions of copyright fees." Xu Guanjie also had a pain in the flesh, he knew that the Japanese record market has always been developed, and the sales of a good quality record are about hundreds of thousands, and a 3% record share can get a lot of money.

Lin Qingxia also looked at Xu Guanwu with a surprised face, she had seen him talking and laughing with the gang members before, and thought he was a person of bad character.

Unexpectedly, between talking and laughing, he didn't even want millions.

You must know that the salary of Lin Qingxia's first play "Outside the Window" is only NT$10,000.

"It's such a loser." Lin Qingxia couldn't help muttering.

"Huh?! What are you talking about? Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"Nothing!" Lin Qingxia didn't expect to be heard by Xu Guanwu, which startled her.

"Miss Lin, do you believe in such a thing as fortune-telling?" Xu Guanwu suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Lin Qingxia shook her head.

"I don't believe in those superstitious things either," Xu Guanwu waved his hand and smiled, "Then do you believe that I have the superpower to predict the future?" ”

Lin Qingxia looked at Xu Guanwu suspiciously, her eyes full of vigilance.

"I dare to assert that next year, Miss Lin, your salary will rise to NT$2.5 million." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

The corners of Lin Qingxia's mouth showed a sneer of disdain, and she glanced at Xu Guanwu with contempt, as if Xu Guanwu was crazy.

She just stood up, turned around and was about to walk away.

"Wait! Miss Lin, please listen to me say a word of zuihou, okay? Xu Guanwu said busily.

Lin Qingxia turned her head, "You say!" ”

"Remember not to be tempted by the man surnamed Qin, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Qingxia's body shook a few times, and her face turned pale.

She tried to stabilize herself, turned away, and hurried away.
