Chapter 30: Business Value
He turned on the device with some hesitation, only to see that in the bright screen list, there was more than one song track of "Nanshan Nan"! "The Meaning of Travel", "Fairy Tale", "Those Years", "Want to Sing Me to You".
Seeing the other four unfamiliar songs, Li Lesheng instinctively turned his head and asked Ou Ge with some expectation, "May I ask Mr. Ou, the other four songs are also the same as "Nanshan Nan"?" Are they all fresh and trendy? Can you negotiate an exclusive license together? ”
"Well, the style of music should be what you said, but didn't you just say that you still need to review it internally?" Ogo asked casually.
"Oh yes, that's what we need to do according to the company's process. It just so happens that two colleagues from the copyright department are also there, so why don't we listen to these five songs first? ”
Li Lesheng first opened "Nanshan Nan", and suddenly, the conference room was filled with Ou Ge's slightly deep voice......
After listening to five songs in a row, Li Lesheng, Wang Guoran, and the director of the copyright department looked at Ou Ge a little differently. To know many singers, he may only have one famous song in his life. Even if Ogo pioneered a fresh genre in the entertainment industry, he may just be a flash in the pan. And now, Ou Ge has the strength to come up with five fresh songs, which means that his source of inspiration can continue to be written, at least for now, there is no sign of exhaustion!
Li Lesheng, Wang Guoran and others know what this means, and the experience of the workplace tells the three of them that the exclusive authorization in front of them must be discussed! Otherwise, the copyright will be snatched by QQ Music or Xiami Music, and the commercial losses caused will be quite huge.
Lu Ze, the director of the copyright department, who was sitting diagonally opposite Ou Ge, whispered a few words with Li Lesheng and said to Ou Ge, "That... Mr. Ou, we've already listened to the song, um... Overall very good. Here I want to take the liberty of asking, what Xiao Wang told you on the phone at the beginning was the exclusive authorization of the song, right? ”
"yes, the phone talk is about the digital licensing of the contracted songs, is there a problem with this?" Ou Ge looked at Lu Ze, he felt that the reason why the other party asked like this was probably the following.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that, and it's in line with our basic processes. It's just that I want to take the liberty of asking, in addition to signing songs, have you ever considered signing an exclusive artist with us NetEase Cloud? ”
Faced with Lu Ze's question, Ou Ge smiled and replied, "Exclusive artist? It means that all the digital albums I release in the future must be sold on NetEase Cloud, right? The workplace experience in his previous life made Ou Ge quickly understand the meaning of the other party's words. Compared to Jing Zhiwen, who sat on the sidelines and wanted to help something, but couldn't help anything, Ougo's performance and answers seemed very professional.
"Hmm... Yes, Mr. Ou, that's pretty much what you mean. However, we will tilt resources to exclusive artists, such as app homepage ads, app column ads, and even some subscription service promotions. These things that I have just promised are listed in the contract and are legally binding. And many artists also prefer exclusive contracts over licensing songs individually......"
The conditions given by NetEase Cloud are very tempting, especially for newcomers like Ou Ge, who have just debuted, it is generally difficult to resist such temptation. After all, NetEase Cloud Music is also a large-scale music platform that claims to have 100 million listeners, and some best-selling singers, as soon as the digital album is released, it can sell 30,000 copies, 50,000 copies, or even 100,000 copies within a month!
The cost of making a digital album is much lower than that of a physical one. According to the share given by the platform and the promotion resources, once you sign an exclusive artist, it is equivalent to taking the big ship of NetEase Cloud. In the future, as long as Ou Ge maintains his style and continues to create, the fans he has in NetEase Cloud will be a very terrifying number.
Jing Zhiwen, who was sitting on the side, was already moved for Ou Ge, such a good condition was replaced by him, he had already agreed to it, and signed the contract on the spot......
But Ou Ge, who is a man in two lives, is not a fledgling hairy young man, even if the conditions given by the other party are very tempting, then a decision can only be made after many comparisons. "Well, why don't you let me go back and think about it. I almost understand all the conditions you just offered. It's just that it takes a little time for me to think about it. ”
Lu Ze, the director of the copyright department, naturally understood what Ou Ge said, the so-called thinking about it means that it needs to be compared again, and there is no way to make a decision right away, "Oh, okay, Mr. Ou, you should go back and think about it." Oh, by the way, also, the conditions of the exclusive artist contract we just opened are only a basic condition for the preliminary negotiation, and there is still some room for improvement, which needs to be discussed in the end. So...... In case other platforms contact you, we can also give you quite favorable conditions! ”
"Okay, I see, I'll remember, thanks!" Ou Ge got up and shook hands with the three people at the table, then took Jing Zhiwen with him and left the NetEase Cloud Branch.
Negotiation is an art, and Ou Ge has rich resources in his previous life, so he naturally doesn't need to be in a hurry, so he signed a contract with NetEase Cloud immediately. If you are in a hurry to sign a contract, the other party may underestimate him, so as not to help him maximize the signing conditions.
In the business car, Jing Zhiwen gave a thumbs up and said to Ou Ge, "Ou Ge, I really admire you more and more, if it was me just now, I guess I would have been in a mess a long time ago, and I would have signed the deed of sale." It's impossible to be as calm as you are! ”
Ou Ge saw that Jing Zhiwen turned around for a while, but he didn't drive well, so he hurriedly reminded him and said, "Come on, you, don't be a sycophant, drive well!" Don't crash your dad's car, I won't be able to afford it. ”
"Hey! Look at what you said, Ogo! I'm going to be a big star, my dad's broken car, you can buy it in minutes in the future! When the time comes, you will become a big star, but don't forget to mention your little brother! The lifelong happiness of the little brother in the future is all counting on you, Brother Ou! Jing Zhiwen was as thick-skinned as a wall, and his eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, like a complete obscene embryo......
Ou Ge shook his head as a joke and said, "If a big star is so good, then everyone is a big star!" To do things step by step, steadily, the foundation is not laid, and the ship may capsize at any time. ”
