Chapter 9 Album Splitting

Chang Jihong talked with Chen Jing for a long time, and only left after understanding all aspects of Chen Jing and all her demands.

And Chen Jing returned to the hotel room, feeling a little excited, after determining the agent, the next idol life means that it will officially begin.

This night, Chen Jing thought about it for a long time, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, Chen Jing woke up early, which came from the habit of this body.

As a training freak, Chen Jing has always insisted on practicing, even if the schedule is intensive, he must get up early to open his voice and exercise his body, which is why he is the youngest, but he can become the lead singer of SJM.

However, at this time, Chen Jing had just subsided her fever and her body was still a little weak, so she just opened her voice and practiced for a while, after all, she was about to release her first album, and Chen Jing had to stay in good shape.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Chen Jing had just finished practicing and eating breakfast when she heard a knock on the door, "It's here." ”

Opening the door, Chen Jing saw a girl, about 1.6 meters tall, her figure was not convex or warped, but slightly undulating, her appearance was medium to high, and she was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses.

"You are?" Chen Jing asked.

"Hello, I'm Ge Feng, and I was always asked by Mr. Chang to be your assistant." Ge Feng hurriedly introduced, "You can just call me Xiaofeng." ”

When Chen Jing heard this, she didn't get out of the way, but frowned and looked at the girl in front of her.

It's not that Chen Jing is hypocritical, but he has just returned to China, and this kind of thing must be cautious, so as not to get into trouble.

Some media reporters really have no bottom line, and they can come up with any tricks in order to attract attention.

Seeing this, Ge Feng knew that Chen Jing was suspicious, so he called Chang Jihong directly, and after Chen Jing heard Chang Jihong's confirmation, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, come in!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's supposed to be." Ge Feng let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said with a smile.

"Drink something?" Chen Jing asked.

"No, I'm not thirsty." Ge Feng waved his hand and secretly looked at Chen Jing, secretly saying that he was really good-looking, more handsome than the photo, no wonder he was the faΓ§ade of SJM.

"How old are you? What school did you graduate from? Chen Jing saw that she was a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to provoke the conversation.

"I am 88 years old, and I graduated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang University of Media and Communication." Ge Feng said.

The two chatted for a few words, and the awkward atmosphere eased somewhat.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Ge Feng said.

Chen Jing thought for a while, then took out her laptop and logged in to her QQ, "This 'demon queen' is a manager of my fan support club, you need to contact her more."

If I have any activities in the future, you can tell her that they will organize some support or something.

When I'm fine, I can also send them some photos of my life or work as a benefit. ”

"Okay, okay." Ge Feng nodded.

"And this 'Fairy Tail' Qiandu sticker, this is a place where the elves gather, you can pay more attention to the feedback and opinions of the elves, and tell me if you think it's necessary." Chen Jing opened the Qiandu Tieba Road again.

In December 2009, the microblog had only been launched for three months, and Vixen had not yet been officially launched, so the instant messaging in the mainland is still based on QQ.

As for the fan interaction platform, it is still a gathering place for Qiandu Tieba and major forums.

Fans are the biggest reliance of the top stream, and of course, sometimes it is also a double-edged sword, so Chen Jing has to communicate more with the elves to avoid accidentally hurting herself.

After letting Ge Feng communicate with the elves, Chen Jing began to continue his great career of writing songs.

To be honest, the Chinese music scene in 2010 has been declining, not only is the sales getting lower and lower, but also the good songs are getting fewer and fewer due to the big environment, so it is a little difficult for Chen Jing to copy it.

And many songs can be popular for several years, Chen Jing has to make sure that the songs she wrote have not come out yet.

At the same time, after it was written, Chen Jing had to register the copyright immediately to prevent another oolong incident from happening halfway.

When the time came to the afternoon, Chang Jihong came to the hotel again.

"Let's talk about your debut album first." Chang Jihong said, "I contacted Huayi Music for you, and we talked about releasing 3 albums within three years, and the producer of the album is Zhang Yadong." ”

"Huayi!" Chen Jing nodded when she heard this.

Although Huayi was not a professional musician before, Huayi Music also developed vigorously with the support of Huayi Brothers, acquired the former Warring States, and then signed many well-known singers.

Yuquan group, Huang Zheng, Yang Kun, Zhang Liangying, Shang Wenjie, BOBO group, and Chen Chusheng, who was just poached from Tianyu not long ago.

As for Zhang Yadong, he can also be regarded as a musical genius and a well-known producer in the industry.

With him escorting Chen Jing, you can also see the sincerity of Huayi Music.

"Huayi Music is developing very quickly now, and its strength is quite strong." Chang Jihong said, "The most important thing is to reach a musical cooperation with Huayi, and then the cooperation in film and television will be smoother in the future." ”

Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, and then asked, "How is the album divided into parts?" ”

Chen Jing also released the album "Fan" with SJM before, but the album was too small, but now that she has returned to China, it will definitely be different.

"I also had a general understanding before, and the division of an album is generally divided into three parts, the artist, the producer and the distributor.

Under normal circumstances, the distributor accounts for 25% of the revenue of the whole album, and the singer depends on the situation, and some newcomer singers directly give a sum of money and do not participate in the sharing, and the participation in the sharing is generally between 15% and 30%, and the rest belongs to the producer. ”

"Then the producer will account for 45%-60% of the revenue of the whole album." Chen Jing said.

"Don't think that the producer takes too much, the first purpose of the producer is to make money when he releases an album for you, so it is certain that the income is high.

In addition, although the producer's income is 45%-60%, the producer also has to bear the cost of album production, and the production cost of this album is complicated.

First of all, the album producer, Zhang Yadong, who made the album for you, has an appearance fee of hundreds of thousands.

Others such as recording fees, lyrics and music fees, arrangement, mixing, musician fees, styling, photography, costumes, album covers, and overall packaging art design.

The cost of shooting, mastering and post-processing of the MV, the cost of CD design, the cost of post-promotion, the cost of album burning, transportation, inventory, etc., are all borne by the producer. "Changji Red Road.

Chen Jing listened to this big pile, although he also released an album, but in addition to recording songs, many of them did not participate, and it is really difficult for people who are not familiar with it to think of it.

"Of course, some of these are not only not sticking money, but making money, for example, there are many sponsors when publicizing, and some dealers will sponsor in order to carry out activities, which will make a lot of money." Chang Jihong looked at Chen Jing and smiled.

"Wouldn't it be possible to get 75% of the album profit by opening your own company like Jay Chou?" Chen Jing asked.

"Theoretically, this is the case, and even the share ratio can be higher to 80%, after all, Jay Chou can create it himself, and big-name album dealers like it, and they often give profits to these big brands.

But you also have to remove the production cost, like if Jay Chou has his own music company, the cost is lower, and there are sponsors when promoting, and he can generally get 60%-75% of all profits for an album. Chang Jihong nodded.

"Dong Chou's album is calculated according to 2 million sales and a unit price of 40 yuan, won't he be able to earn about 60 million for an album." Chen Jing calculated.

"There are not so many, big names like Jay Chou have very high requirements for album production, and the cost of making an album is almost 15 million, and taxes must be removed." Chang Jihong shook his head.

"But with popularity, endorsements, commercial performances, and concerts can earn more."

"I want to know right now how much I can get for an album." When Chen Jing heard that he was making so much money, he just wanted to know how much money he could get for an album.

"Don't look at how much Dong Chou makes, but he only has one, most singers actually make popularity when they release albums, and they can't make money from albums.

You've just gone solo now, but considering your popularity, Huayi gave 18% of the first album. Chang Jihong replied.

"What about me writing the lyrics and arranging the music myself? This part is also divided! Chen Jing asked.

"I asked before, the average songwriter copyright accounts for about 15% of the entire album." Seasonal Red Road.

"So I can get 33% of the album's profits?" Chen Jing felt that this ratio was good, it was much stronger than the SJM period.

"If you can't get it, first you have to make sure that your song can be used, and you have to pay another 20% personal income tax." Chang Jihong shook his head.

"The company doesn't take a cut?" Chen Jing asked.

"Other aspects of the pumping, but the album is the music company is fully responsible, the agency is generally not involved, and the agency contract and the record contract are generally separated." Seasonal Red Road.

"What is the approximate pricing of my album?" Chen Jing hurriedly asked.

"The average price should be around 35 yuan." Seasonal Red Road.

"That is, I can get 35 * 0.33 * 0.8 = 9.24 yuan for each album."
