Since the guarantee is not returned, this is one of the unspoken rules of the industry, Brother Xiao naturally won't bother to speak, nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the guarantee of the issuance right, what about their other conditions?" ”

Gao Yan smiled, but shook his head slightly unhappily and said, "They are willing to be responsible for burning, transporting, putting on the shelves, distributing, and making lists...... And so on all the specific work, and then they have to share 40% of the net profit of each record. ”

"40% net profit?"

Someone scratched his chin a little confused, "That Brother Yan, how much money can a record make?" For example, if I sell 35 copies of this record, if I sell 3 million copies, what is the profit? ”

"Wait, I'll give you a rough idea now!"

Gao Yan didn't think about this problem himself, and immediately turned around and calculated it on the computer.

While calculating, he also read words in his mouth: "Because the content of our record is all done by ourselves, we don't need the distribution company to contribute, they only need to bear the cost of burning, transportation, advertising, even if the cost of burning each record is 3 yuan, the total wholesale price is about 20~25 yuan, even if it is 23, then 3 million copies, the total price of the record is 60 million ......"

Gao Yan thought for a while and said: "The state stipulates that the tax rate for records is levied at 5%, then, the tax is 3 million, and then, for our record, advertising is the biggest spending item, and this item must be removed at least 500~10 million, even if it is 8 million, so that it will be done." The total net profit is about 45 million! ”

"Damn. I thought there were 100 million! ”

Brother Chic is really staggered. I can't believe it! Because he originally imagined that he should actually make at least 50 million pure profits!

However, after Gao Yan's calculation, he was really shocked, really shocked.

You know, the main content of his record was completed by himself! There is no money to collect songs, so there is no need to pay the songwriter's copyright share; There were no producers, bands, recording engineers, arrangers, and mixes, so there was a lot less expense. zuihou, his MV will also be completed by himself at the expense of the director, which will save a lot of expenses from the distribution company.

However, even if he is so frugal, the money he can get is only 45 million * 60% = 27 million!

, with a sales volume of 3 million copies that scared people to death, a record company (he is equivalent to) can only get 27 million soft girl coins?

So in comparison, wouldn't it be worse for singers who can only sell 2 or 300,000 copies to sell a record and only get 15% of the royalties on a record? You can earn 2 million yuan!

"That's too little, isn't it? How is it possible to only have a 60% share? ”

After the dashing brother regained a little bit of his sanity from the shock. immediately collapsed his face and said solemnly: "Brother Yan." You tell them directly, it's impossible! ”

He patted the mattress and scolded angrily: "M's, these people are too shameless, they are just a channel business, and they dare to open their mouths like this, I really think that without them, I Tang Xiaosheng will not be able to find a burning company and a sales channel?" Phew! Lao Tzu would never agree. ”

At this moment, someone was really angry, and his lungs were about to explode.

Nima's, now it's the Internet era, online shopping has gradually become popular, you still dare to be so shameless and indiscriminate, is it really inseparable from your traditional channel providers?

At this time, he really wanted to decide to cooperate with a platform like Dangdang.com, which specializes in operating books and records on the Internet, to see if he was angry with those bastards.

"Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about?"

Gao Yan patted Brother Xiaoxiao's shoulder disappreciatively, shook his head and said, "Isn't this just an offer?" Although their initial offer is a bit high, I believe that after negotiations, they will definitely be willing to accept the request of 20% of the net profit. ”

Someone thinks about it, if the price is not high, the counteroffer will be in the end all of a sudden, so what money will the merchant make?

So, he nodded and said, "Okay, if it's 20%, it's pretty much the same, otherwise I will never agree, even if it's sold online, it doesn't matter!" ”

"Hehe, if Dangdangwang knew your intentions, I guarantee that they will be very happy to come over and beg you to sign the contract!"

Gao Yan sat down as he spoke, and then said: "However, if you really sign a contract, you have to cooperate with the promotion according to the publisher's requirements, and we can only decide the general direction at most, and the details, such as which bookstore to hold a book signing, which club will hold a fan meeting, and these things must depend on their arrangements!" ”

"Of course, this is no problem, and I also hope that through hard work, I can sell more records!"

Brother Xiao has a very clear understanding of this problem, because once he signs the contract, he and the distribution company will have a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

Therefore, even if the distributor makes the publicity louder, he will not be too much, after all, every time he sells an additional record, he can not only share more than 10 yuan, but also have more confidence to complete the super task!

Gao Yan laughed, spread his hands and said: "Then I'm done with what I want to say, I'll go to meet the distribution manager of Xinsuo Music later, and play a game with him." ”

Brother Chic also smiled: "Don't go too far, I really don't want to be the first to try to completely hand over the album to the online shopping platform!" ”

"Hey, by the way, we can still do that!"

Gao Yan suddenly sat up straight with excitement, looked at someone with bright eyes and said: "You say, if the two of us are at a stalemate, when an online shopping platform like Dangwang suddenly announces that it wants to win the exclusive distribution copyright of our album, will our negotiator attach great importance to it, and then take the initiative to give in with some worry?" ”

Brother Chic tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The effect is definitely there, but it will definitely not be too big, because so far, no one has tried this way!" These traditional publishers might even find it funny! ”

This is also the case, before there is a successful precedent, traditional publishers will definitely not care about the attitude of an online platform, and the current domestic environment where the D version is rampant will definitely not allow Xiao Brother to play like this.

If it drags on for a long time, when the D version has been fully rolled out, who will buy his genuine album? After all, the price difference is really too much!

And more importantly, now mobile phones and MP3 players are popular, you release a record, at most a few days, there are a lot of free versions on the whiteness can be downloaded at will, in this case, the singer is simply grabbing time, right?

So, Gao Yan could only sigh and said: "This is really helpless! If only the D version had disappeared overnight! Your records can at least sell several times as many as your records! ”

"Don't think about it, that's impossible!"

Brother Chic shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I used to only buy the D version to listen to it, and I thought it was up to me, this is a situation that cannot be changed!" ”

"Haha, is this called retribution?" Gao Yan laughed, looked at Brother Xiao and said, "By the way, you asked me to contact Liu Yifei last night, and I want to talk to you now." ”

"Have you been contacted? Did she say yes? ”

Brother Chic stood up a little anxiously and looked at Gao Yan tightly with a very nervous look.

"What's the hurry? How can it be so fast? ”

Gao Yan waved his hand at him and said: "I found the phone number of Liu Yifei's domestic economic company yesterday, and then called to ask, and the other party said that he would tell Liu Yifei's agent, but I'm afraid the specific reply will have to wait!" ”

After explaining, Gao Yan added: "And people are very busy now!" Her first Chinese album "Liu Yifei" will be officially released nationwide in three days, that is, on August 31, and she must be preparing for these events now, at least in half a month, I am afraid there will be little time. ”

"I'm rubbing, don't you really have a chance to cooperate?"

Brother Chic is really unwilling! If this song can cooperate with Liu Yifei, it will definitely be a pretty good choice!

"Why don't you contact her personally?" Gao Yan suggested: "As long as the work is really good, coupled with your fame, I don't think even Liu Yifei will simply reject you!" ”

"I want to, too, but I don't have her phone number!"

Brother Chic also agreed with this suggestion, but he and Liu Yifei had no intersection at all, let alone dialing someone's private number.

"This ...... You can ask He Jiong, most of the stars who have been on his show have a phone number! Gao Yan hesitated for a moment and gave a suggestion.

yes, why didn't my brother think of this? What a mess!

Brother Chic patted his head angrily, quickly picked up his mobile phone, and called He Jiong's private number with some joy.

When it comes to connections in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid there are really few people who can compare to He Jiong! He guards the trump card program "Happy Camp", and almost half of the stars and superstars in China and Hong Kong and Taiwan have participated in the show, not to mention anything else, the contact information must have received a bunch of them.

Therefore, if he can't find Liu Yifei's phone number here in He Jiong, then he can only choose to wait for her agency's reply, or reluctantly change people. (To be continued......)
