Chapter 59: Top Contracts

The recording of the third performance ends.

In a lounge in the backstage of the show, Liu Rongxuan sent a video to He Hongtu, the boss of Chaoyin Culture, and then dialed the phone and said:

"Chairman, I just sent you a video, which is a video of Fang Xing's performance.

Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen's new singles can't suppress him at all.

"We might really have to give him a platinum contract, otherwise I'm afraid things will change."

On the other end of the phone, He Hongtu's dissatisfied voice came:

"When will Chaoyin Culture sign a trainee, and it will use a platinum contract? Are you crazy? ”

Liu Rongxuan patiently explained: "Chairman, why don't you take a look at the video I sent you first, although the recorded sound effect is not good, you should be able to see the problem." ”

The other end of the phone was quiet, apparently He Hongtu went to watch the video.

A few minutes later, He Hongtu's voice came from the mobile phone: "Sign him immediately, you go in person, don't send any more assistants."

"Try it with a top contract first, if he still refuses to sign, give him a platinum contract, but you can't give that much in the share ratio, it's about 35%. The contract period is longer, at least 10 years. ”

"Okay, I'll do it."

After Liu Rongxuan finished talking on the phone, he immediately took two assistants to find Fang Xing and made an appointment to negotiate the contract in the small conference room.

……

After taking a seat in the small conference room.

Liu Rongxuan introduced himself: "Fang Xing, hello, I am the artist director of Chaoyin Culture and one of the shareholders of the company.

"On behalf of the company, I came to negotiate the contract with you, and according to your last request, we seriously revised the contract."

Liu Rongxuan motioned to the assistant to push a contract in front of Fang Xing.

He continued: "This is our company's top contract, and no trainee has ever been awarded a contract at this level.

"Only first-line singers in China can get such a contract, you should be able to see the sincerity of the company, right?"

Fang Xing turned the first page of the contract and glanced at several key positions.

The share ratio is 35%, which is not what Fang Xing is most concerned about.

The top-tier contract is slightly more lenient than the regular contract, but only slightly more lenient.

This contract still has many restrictions on artists, such as artists cannot fall in love during the duration of the contract.

Another example is how much work an artist must complete in a period of time.

Moreover, these are not the most disgusting clauses.

Even more excessive, the term of the contract is 10 years.

And there are supplementary terms, after the contract expires, Chaoyin Culture has the right of first refusal to sign a contract, and artists cannot contact other brokerage companies without notifying Chaoyin Culture.

However, this is not the most excessive.

The most excessive clause in this contract is that during the contract period, the copyright of all works created by the artist belongs to Chaoyin Culture.

Even if the contract ends later, the artist only has the right of authorship and no right to use the work.

That's right, according to the terms of this contract.

If Fang Xing signs it, after the contract expires, if he wants to sing the songs produced during the contract, he will have to pay a fee to Chaoyin Culture.

When Fang Xing saw this, he didn't want to look at this contract again, so he pushed it back directly: "I won't sign it." ”

Liu Rongxuan frowned and said, "Fang Xing, the company wants to make you a superstar, and Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen form a limited group trident, which will give you a lot of resources."

Moreover, these resources promised to you can be written into the contract, including the top domestic music variety shows and top reality shows.

"These are not verbal promises, as long as you agree, I will immediately have them written into the contract."

"Forget it, I don't really want to sign it."

After Fang Xing finished speaking, he wanted to get up and leave.

Liu Rongxuan frowned, asked the assistant to take out another contract, and said, "Wait a minute, this is the framework of a platinum contract, except for the sharing ratio, the other terms are the same as the platinum contract."

This is the company's greatest sincerity, the king and the queen sign the contract, and they also sign this platinum contract.

"Originally, it was impossible for the company to come up with a contract of this level, but I did see a lot of potential from you.

"That's why I asked the big boss of the company for this contract, and you look at it again, and you're not satisfied."

Fang Xing frowned, he didn't expect Chaoyin Culture to really give a platinum contract.

This was more than expected.

After opening the contract and taking a few looks, the terms of the contract are indeed more lenient than the top contract.

There is no mandatory requirement for artists to take over jobs.

And the platinum contract has a guaranteed salary, 500,000 per year.

However, the copyright of the songs produced during the contract period still belongs to Chaoyin Culture.

The contract period is still 10 years.

However, these are only scratching the surface.

Fang Xing didn't want to sign Chaoyin Culture, mainly because he didn't agree with their ideas.

Chaoyin culture has always been to create idols with heart and make music with feet.

The idol groups created by Chaoyin Culture are all aimed at cutting fans and leeks, and as for the music, they are all outsourced to the production teams of other companies.

Take SPK, the most popular boy group in Chaoyin Culture, for example, three years after its debut, only half an album has been released, and there is not a single song that has been sung.

Therefore, even if the contract is very loose, Fang Xing does not want to sign it.

Fang Xing didn't want to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly: "Forget it, I hope to focus on making music, and the tide music culture may not be suitable for me." ”

One of the reasons why Liu Rongxuan can sit in the position of the second-in-command of Chaoyin Culture is that he is very accurate in seeing people.

He could see that Fang Xing was not pulling on purpose, but really thinking so.

That's more troublesome.

Liu Rongxuan thought for a moment and said, "If you are not willing to sign a brokerage contract, then there will be problems with the formation contract of the limited group." You can't make your debut in a group, are you sure you want to do this? ”

That's amazing!

Fang Xing never thought of taking Wu Junchen and them to play, he almost blurted out this, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to me whether it is a group or not." ”

Liu Rongxuan showed a look of surprise, he stared at Fang Xing's eyes, and found that the young man in front of him was more difficult than expected.

This time.

A choreographer of the program group knocked on the door outside the conference room, then pushed the door in and apologized: "I'm really sorry, the stage budget applied by Fang Xing before has to be accounted for, and Fang Xing needs to sign it." ”

Fang Xing didn't want to waste time with Chaoyin Culture for a long time, so he immediately got up and said, "Okay, I'll go over and sign it now, is it the expense of asking the choir to record last time?" ”

"That's right." The director of the program group nodded and replied.

Fang Xing pulled her out, went out of the door, turned around and said politely: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I still have something to do today, why don't we make an appointment another day." ”

When I went to the finance department of Feifan Entertainment to sign, I happened to meet Liang Yusong.
