Chapter 44: A Strange Combination
In the end, the assistant drew up a contract for him that he didn't know if he could use it.
"Don't your lawyers have a consultation fee?" Before leaving, Blackwood was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Kuroki's words are perfectly fine." The assistant said.
Kuroki Cheng smiled awkwardly, the other party had just entered the workplace and graduated from college, but he was also older than him.
The next day, Yilong called and made an appointment with yesterday's place.
When Kuroki Castle arrived, he saw the Y.M.O combination.
In addition to Yilong, one has a faceless and the other has a mustache and curly hair, deep eyes, and pays attention to dressing.
The former is called Hosono, and the latter Takahashi is the core of the combination.
Blackwood City is preconceived, subconsciously thinking that the core of the combination is a dragon, which in fact is not.
Takahashi is the C position in the combination, and Yilong's outfits and aesthetics are all influenced by him.
In addition to the three members of the group, Takahashi sat next to a rock-style woman wearing a very rare smoky makeup.
"Mr. Kuroki, our group doesn't want you to interfere in anything with our group, but we accept your funding."
After both sides were polite, Takahashi got straight to the point and made a request.
"It's not that no record companies have approached us, it's that we don't like them." The smoky girl said.
"So that's the case, then I'm sorry for today." Kuroki Castle looked stunned and got up to leave.
The expressions of the four people sitting changed, the calmness on their faces disappeared, and they leaned forward.
Just as he was about to get up, Kuroki Cheng walked back again, his eyes swept over the posture of the four people, and said, "Haha, I deceived you." ”
Once he sat back down, he smoothed his tie and looked up.
"I don't want to be involved in anything with the group, I just want to enjoy your self-titled album and accept your model."
Hearing this, the three of them looked happy and waited for the words of Kuroki Castle.
The rhythm of the conversation was unconsciously controlled by Kuroki Castle.
"I invested 8 million, how can I ensure that it is completely used for publicity and distribution? If you live in a five-star hotel in first class, you will use the money I invested. The corners of Kurokijo's mouth curled up into a warm smile.
"Are you suspicious of us?!"
Hosono, who has the lowest appearance in the group, feels insulted.
"I'm talking about reasonable circumstances."
"What does Mr. Kuroki mean?" Takahashi asked.
"I want to know your arrangements and plans, you said that you want to manage the portfolio yourself, then you should have the corresponding ability, right, I will make a reasonable budget according to each stage, and distribute it to you in batches."
"Then, you can have the high level of freedom you want. ”
"Acceptable."
Takahashi pondered for half a minute and gave an answer.
Decided without consulting your own group, no wonder you disbanded. Kuroki Castle observes Hosono and Ichryū's reactions.
Hosono is obviously resentful, and Yilong doesn't care.
"We will give 30% of the overseas sales rights of the album, limited to vinyl sales."
Next is the division of interests, and Takahashi opens his mouth without any prying eyes.
When a song becomes popular half the world, the band's popularity will increase.
The three of them want to go on a world tour, and like overseas rock music groups, they are free of record companies and economic companies, and the members travel around the world in RVs.
"It's unfair to me." Kuroki said.
These words aroused the vigilance of the three members of the group.
"You said you wouldn't interfere with us." Takahashi said.
"That being said, but your vigilance and hostility have dispelled my enthusiasm for the album a lot, please let me go back and think about it for a while."
With that, Kuroki got up and left, this time not joking, and the figure disappeared from their sight.
Kuroki City, who came to the door, did not leave, and counted silently in his heart.
As soon as he counted to seven, Yilong hurriedly chased it out.
After a while, the two of them returned to the store.
"What does Mr. Kuroki think?"
This time, Takahashi was much more honest, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous with a pair of deep eyes.
That's right, I really thought you could know that you would be popular like me, and I said that I would be wronged when I enjoyed your album.
While thinking about it, Kuroki Cheng said: "If you want freedom so much, there is a price, 50% of your album of the same name, no restrictions on regions and languages, no restrictions on any medium, records, audio broadcasts and all derivative copyrights, how about it?" ”
"We don't sell the rights to albums." Takahashi learned to be smart and said tentatively.
"Of course, the lyrics and songs of the album belong to you, and although I profit from them, I don't have the right to use them." Blackwood knew what he was worried about.
Takahashi was relieved, then there was nothing to worry about.
At most, the profits of the album of the same name are heavily divided, but everything is up to them.
Blackwood City has the royalties, but it's up to them to decide whether they sing the song or not.
"Then sign it, and each of you will get a ticket to fly to your dreams."
Blackwood City begins to draw the pie, even though the pie is real.
It should be mentioned that he did not think that the combination would definitely succeed, because of the relationship between parallel worlds, there must be a possibility of failure.
But if you wait until you are 100% sure of everything, you can only go to work honestly.
The loss of defeat is 8 million yen.
Next, both parties sign the contract.
The contract is simple, he owns 50% of the album's revenue.
The money would go into the band's pockets, and then pass on the legal benefits of the contract to Blackwood City.
There may be drawbacks such as breach of contract and falsification of sales data.
There is no way around it, everything has drawbacks, and it is impossible for Blackwood City to run around the world with them.
After it was done, the two parties had no intention of having dinner together, and went back to their respective homes.
"I'm so sorry."
Blackwood didn't go far, and Ichilong hurried up behind him, full of apologies.
"What's wrong?" Blackwood thought it was an accident.
"Takahashi has always been more conceited and thinks that everyone has no vision."
Yilong didn't say a word in the conversation just now.
"Now that I think about it, we've really failed Mr. Kuroki's kindness." Now he sincerely apologizes.
The three members of the group don't all think that they are hanging in the sky, and after the failure of the home, the music professor is not confident enough.
He was encouraged by Kuroki's attention, but Takahashi's performance made him ashamed.
"There is no need to apologize for this kind of thing." Kuroki City was helpless, he didn't take it to heart.
"We will live up to Mr. Kuroki's expectations." Yilong is very serious.
Kuroki sighed, as he remembered, the music professor was such a gentle person.
Takahashi is proud of his talents, and Hosono takes everything to heart.
This combination is really weird.
