Chapter 108: Formal Negotiations: Separation
NC's representative, Han Seung-ho, made a low profile on the other end of the phone and asked Li Yu to compose a song for 'AOA'. Li Yu's creative strength, especially in the girl group, is undoubted, the original girlhood, kara, tara, and others have all accepted the songs created by Li Yu.
And the explosion of these three girl groups can be said to be related to Li Yu. Because the most representative song of their group is composed by Li Yu. It's just that after Li Yu's debut, most of them wrote songs for their own groups, but they didn't write songs for other girl groups. Even the girl group he was in didn't receive Li Yu's songs again.
However, in terms of Li Yu's ability to create songs in the girl group, Han Shenghao has no doubts. Therefore, the representative of a large company like him made a low posture to ask Li Yu.
Li Yu said: "Actually, I haven't written songs for a long time, and when I wrote songs for kara, tara, it caused a lot of controversy within the company, so this matter.. You should talk to my company. ”
Listening to Li Yu's words, Han Shenghao certainly understood, because the songs that Li Yu wrote for those two groups caused them to become a direct competition with Girls' Generation.
Even 'Tara' almost surpassed Girls' Generation in popularity at the time on the Korean side. If it weren't for the fact that the company made a mistake in dealing with that problem. Girlhood may have been surpassed by 'tara'.
Fortunately, in the midst of countless competitions, Girls' Generation finally resisted the pressure and became the current No. 1 girl group. But at the beginning, many news media, including many Girls' Generation fans, had opinions on this, so Li Yu did not write songs for the girl group in the future.
Among them, there is the company's refusal, and the company is also worried that if Li Yu is making another 'tara'. That would have a big impact on girls' generation.
So Han Shenghao said to Li Yu: "I am responsible for handling it on your company's side, even if I ask for it, I will ask for your company's consent, so I hope your side will not refuse this cooperation." ”
"Well, if you can get the company's consent, I won't refuse. And I haven't written a girl group song for a long time, and I personally really want to try it, and I still can't write a girl group song. ”
Li Yu did not refuse on the phone, but showed that he wanted to try, Han Shenghao said with some excitement: "Okay, okay, then let's make up our minds first, and I will go to discuss with your company immediately." Thank you so much, Li Yuxi. ”
"It's okay, after all, I want Xue Xuan to follow 'AOA' to take one at a time, after all, I am Xue Xuan's friend."
Although 'AOA' was a huge success with the song "Short Skirt", and won one place at the time! But at that time, Xue Hyun had injured her foot and was unable to go on stage with her colleagues, which means that she was the only member of the 'AOA' group who did not win a trophy.
And in the later stage of "Short Hair Returns, I met the counterattacking 'Exid', so after Xue Hyun followed her teammates on the stage this time, she didn't get one.
When Li Yu said, 'I'm Xuexuan's friend', her teammates were still very envious. Because Li Yu's popularity is so high, it is really happy to be friends with such a top artist.
After the phone was taken back from Xue Xuan's hand, she kept saying some words of thanks to Li Yu. Li Yu just said, just invite me to dinner when you get one in the future.
.......
And after Li Yu hung up the phone with Xue Xuan, he took his beer and entered the studio at home, and Li Yu had already thought of the song for 'aoa', which was their 'Catwoman' song "Catwoman's Soft Steps!"
In this way, Li Yu sat in front of the computer and worked until the early hours of the morning before going to rest. The next day, Li Yu woke up close to noon. When he woke up, he drove his Ferrari to the company's new building.
Since last year, the company has gradually moved, and the old building has now been handed over to trainees for training, and the artists who debuted, as well as the normal operation of the company, have moved to the new building.
With the opening of the new building, the first floor is a place for the café and surrounding products. And Li Yu's periphery has been sold out for a long time, and there is a lot of personal peripheral income about Li Yu. Of course, these settlements will be played in Li Yu's card.
The advantage of the new building is that vehicles can drive directly to the underground car park. And Li Yu's Ferrari directly raised the pole when he came in. After parking the car, Li Yu went to the office area on the fourth floor.
When the people in the office saw Li Yu, some people began to greet them: "Hello." ”
Li Yu asked the people in the work area: "Is the head of the artist management team here?" ”
Someone responded, "It looks like a large conference room on the second floor." ”
Li Yu took the elevator downstairs again. When I came to the big conference room, there were not only the artist management team, but also Lee so-man, Kim Young-min, Yu Yong-jin, and the head of the business group, which can be said to be a high-level gathering.
I don't know what meeting they were having, Li Yu knocked on the door anyway and went in. They nodded when they watched Li Yu's arrival, and Li Xiuman said to Li Yu with a smile: "It just so happens that we are discussing and holding a meeting for your affairs, sit down, you can now talk about your thoughts in person." ”
After Li Yu sat down, he said directly: "Okay, I won't go around in circles, I'll just say it directly." Recently, there has been more and more work in Huaxia, and I want to focus on the Huaxia area. Because the brokerage contract with the company did not include the Huaxia side, now I am talking about the specific sharing agreement between me and the company, right? ”
Seeing Li Yu being so direct, Li Xiuman pushed his eyes and looked at Li Yu and said, "Well, let's talk about your sharing agreement." ”
"I now have a bolder idea, I want to set up a brokerage company in Huaxia, and I made a proposal to Zhang Xiaoxing, and I want Song Qian to join my company as well. I'm going to leave 20% of the company's share. ”
When Li Yu said the 'two percent' income, Kim Yingmin immediately responded: "This is impossible!" Twenty percent is absolutely impossible. ”
Li Yu smiled and said, "Do you know the conditions that Huaxia Brokerage Company gave me?" The company in Huaxia only needs 30% of the total revenue. Now that I know Xiao Lu, why is Xiao Wu so impatient, right? You are thinking about the salary offered by Huaxia, plus the conditions given by the brokerage company. On the premise that artists can earn so much on their own, and the development prospects of Huaxia are definitely no worse than those of Seoul, I think no one will refuse such an offer. ”
Li Yu's words choked them so much that they had nothing to say. In South Korea, the top artists like Yoo Jae-seok will only ask for 40% of his income. However, Huaxia only needs 30%, and the salary over there is much higher than this side, who can not be impressed?
"And I gave the company 20% because the company couldn't help me at all in the Chinese market. And I plan to give my company's artists 60% of the income, and the company will keep 20% of the income to maintain the operation. It is equivalent to saying that the company can get 20% of my company's income without paying anything, which is really good. ”
Li Xiuman followed Li Yu's words and asked: "How many years have we signed the sharing contract over there?" ”
"I remember, I had three years left on my contract, so we signed it for three years. In the past three years, I will give you 20% of the company's income. This is very good, after all, in Huaxia, I still have to find my own connections to recommend Zhang Xiaoxing and Song Qian. You can sit back and enjoy it in three years. Li Yu said as if they had decided to join their own company.
Yes, Li Yu's contract has three years left, because Li Yu signed the contract at the earliest. In order to share the copyright fee of Li Yu's creation, the company completed the contract with Li Yu two years in advance, that is, 10 years.
In South Korea, there is a law that stipulates that the maximum number of years for an entertainment company is seven years! It means that Li Yu can recover his free body in '2017', and if the company wants to renew the contract with Li Yu at that time, it will be a sky-high price!
Li Xiuman then asked, "What about three years from now?" ”
Li Yu said: "I will leave you with 20% of the share purchase rights, of course, the company can also choose to exchange shares with my company, but it has to be calculated according to the market valuation, which is a big concession I have made." ”
Li Yu's words can be regarded as a threat in it, if the company does not agree, he will be the next Lu Han! You must know that the company has no way to treat him. After all, there are lessons from the past, Wu Criminal, Lu Han, they also have no way.
Li Xiuman thought for a while and said, "Regarding the decision on this issue, we will give you an answer within a week." Recently, there have been two invitations from Huaxia, you should be fine, right? ”
"The film directed by Zhang Xiaomou, of course I am willing to participate. There is also a TV set, saying that it is a play with Yuna's predecessors? ”
The minister of the artist management group said: "This time Zhang Xiaomou's movie, you are invited to play a supporting role, and the actor is invited to come to the dock." ”
Li Yu suddenly thought of the name of this drama, and he said: "This movie won't be "The Great Wall, right?" ”
Listening to Li Yu's words, the head of the management group said in surprise: "Oh? You know? ”
Of course Li Yu knows that this drama can be described as a super powerful cast, even Liu Tianwang is a supporting role, plus the actors of Hollywood, everything is to pave the way for that actress. As a result, all aspects of the special effects of the movie were done well, but the actress still did not become popular with such a large investment.
However, Li Yu responded to the company's them: "Oh, I heard the seniors say when I was filming Huaxia "Running Man" this time, after all, it is a film prepared by an international director, which is very attractive to all Chinese film and television workers." ”
Listening to Li Yu's explanation, they all nodded, it is true that such a big director's play is very attractive to all actors.
