Chapter 43: Ten Hundred Million
In the new week, Blackwood City is full of anticipation to come to the TV station, and the first copyright fee for the single "Brother and Sister" will be released today!
It was not remitted directly to his account, but in cash.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, one hundred thousand, million,!!"
After Kuroki Castle finished counting, he swallowed his saliva in anger.
10,000,000 yen!
All are 10,000 denominations, 100 sheets in a bundle, a total of 10 bundles, about 1 kilogram, can be put into a suitcase.
This is the first royalty period, and there will be more in the future, but the amount will gradually decrease.
The bonuses of the rest of the program team were distributed, and everyone was full of enthusiasm, and they were all enthusiastic when they saw Blackwood City.
Unknowingly, Kuroki Castle became a celebrity on Asatsuki TV.
"Do you plan to do it when you have money?"
Tamura Kiriko knew that he had received a huge sum of money today and was curious about how he would spend it.
"Move first."
"And then?"
"Secret."
Kuroki said with a smile.
Tamura already knows him well, and knows that he will tell secrets about things he doesn't think about, and deliberately hangs people's appetites.
"Where are you going to move?"
"Minato, it's close to every TV station."
"Are you still planning to go to other TV stations?"
Tamura lowered his head and asked casually.
"Miss Tamura is reluctant to let me go?"
Tamura raised his head, Kuroki Castle was standing, looking at it from his angle, that face was really beautiful and suffocating, especially the temperament, which made people unconsciously avoid their eyes.
However, Kuroki City quickly looked back unconvinced, and the two of them met their eyes.
Tamura Kiko blinked and said seriously: "If you have any good plans, you can tell me, you should know that I will support you unconditionally." ”
"I haven't figured it out yet, it's just an idea."
An idea is a flash of inspiration, and only when this idea is concretized can it be called creativity.
"The TV station rejected the decision to let the three sisters perform on the street, believing that there were too many unstable factors and there was no need to take risks." Tamura told him.
Blackwood City is no surprise either.
The current results have made the TV station very satisfied in all aspects, and it is just hoping to stabilize this situation.
He is Party B and provides advice, and Party A does not agree, so he has no need to worry about it.
Leaving Kiko Tamura's office, Kuroki Castle thought about the next arrangement.
He picked up the phone, dialed the recording studio responsible for the release of the single "Brother and Sister", and contacted Yilong.
The two of them meet at a café.
Unlike the casualness in the recording studio, Ichilong pays attention to dressing up outside.
In later words, it was very trendy!
Long hair combed diagonally and eyeliner drawn on his eyes!
The tough facial features have an affinity power.
After the two sat down, they started with the "Brother and Sister" single.
Kuroki said that he got the copyright fee for the lyrics and wanted to thank the arranger.
Unexpectedly, he learned that as an arranger, Yilong had no copyright fees, and they were all taken away by the recording studio where he was.
To make up for it, Yilong received a bonus.
Blackwood City was surprised, didn't it say that the copyright of District 11 was very tightly protected? How can this happen?
After chatting with Yilong, he learned the reason and sighed that he was lucky enough.
Songs launched under the non-record company process have chaotic copyrights, whether they are arrangers or lyricists, they will generally be taken by the company or even directly take away the copyright fees.
For example, the TV program where Blackwood City is located.
Not to mention that he is a lyricist, even the singer who sings has no copyright fee.
These words reminded Kuroki of the three sisters' fixed salaries.
In other words, if he hadn't met Miss Tamura, who was not bad for money, he wouldn't have successfully gotten this royalty.
"Although Miss Tamura usually looks cold, now that I think about it, it's really cute."
Kuroki sighed, and then got down to business.
"The last time I went to a video store, I happened to see Mr. Sakamoto's group album."
"Really?"
Sakamoto was so surprised that he even wondered which audio store he was talking about, and he would even see his group album.
You must know that after the album was released, it sank directly into the sea and did not set off a single wave, which led to the dissolution of the group.
"Why don't you release it overseas? I think this song has a lot to offer. Blackwood ignored his suspicions and continued to ask.
Seeing the eagerness of Kuroki City, Yilong was deeply moved, this person really likes his music, and he is definitely a good person.
"Before us, there were also many bands that did electronic music and released overseas, but none of them opened the market, and now many record companies are tigers." Yilong confided in his heart.
Kuroki was stunned, and this reminded him of the combination of this band, everyone was very stubborn.
Because of the disagreement on music, they can directly announce their dissolution at their peak and fly their own solo.
Also, after all, it's rock 'n' roll, that is, you have to have a cool personality.
"In fact, we were ready to issue overseas, but we got stuck in the last step." Yilong was very sorry to speak.
Because there is no money.
They find their own overseas channels, but they have to pay out of their own pockets, or they have to endure the harsh demands of the record labels.
Uninhibited is what they want, otherwise, they'd rather leave the album unattended.
"I can sponsor you." Blackwood didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Yilong had actually sensed Kuroki City's intentions, but when he actually said it, he still felt surprised.
How can he have more confidence in the album than he does?
If they are 100% sure that the album can be popular abroad, they have to scrape together the money to sell iron, and they dare not take risks because they are not sure.
As a musician, when I see someone willing to contribute, I don't think about what bad impact it will have on the other party if I fail.
It's a dry daddy!
"Mr. Kurokijo, are you sure? As we've seen before, it will cost at least 8 million yen. Yilong said the number nervously.
The production cost of the album has cost nearly 2 million.
I originally wanted to make money back in my home country, and then I wanted to issue overseas, but I lost all my money.
"I'm willing to invest, but I think you should have to discuss the details of the contract with the other two."
"Yes."
"Then when you're sure, be sure to contact me."
"Okay."
The two of them parted at the entrance of the store, and their steps were a little fast.
Kuroki rushed back to the TV station and went to the legal department to find the assistant who taught him how to behave in the court last time, and asked about it.
"Your behavior is equivalent to that of a record company, but you are not responsible for formulating songs, making discs, publicizing and distributing goods, and managing copyrights."
The assistant didn't realize that he was being used as a tool, and was glad that Kuroki Castle came to him for advice.
"According to you, that group is more like a record company, you are a shareholder of the company, and you get dividends after you buy shares."
