Two days have passed in a flash, and Chengxin has been with the orchestra for four days.

After a few days of solo practice or ensemble playing, the orchestra has become more and more proficient.

However, there are still some flaws.

After all, this is not a one-person performance, and every symphony requires the entire orchestra to not make a single mistake, so it needs to be practiced slowly.

In fact, in Chengxin's ears, this is already good.

But for Liu Neng, this level is not enough, and he still needs to increase practice to ensure that he can't make any mistakes, and the rhythm that should be kept up can't fall off the chain.

As for the two folk music, Chengxin also began to practice with a few members.

Another day, today Chengxin was practicing piano music with several orchestra members, and Assistant Zhang came over.

"Salted fish, Tang Yong called, the plan came out, let you go over tomorrow."

"The plan is out? Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning. ”

After replying to Assistant Zhang, Chengxin continued to practice with a few members.

Another day, Chengxin sat in Tang Yong's office and was talking to Tang Yong.

"Xiao Zhong, that's the plan, take a look, and this sharing contract, after you read it, if there is no problem, then we will sign the contract."

After Tang Yong finished speaking, Chengxin picked up the plan on the side and looked at it.

For Chengxin's English album this time, Tang Yong and their side plan to record 800,000 copies in advance.

As long as the sales are good, then continue to add more, and the recording speed is fast anyway.

Each CD is priced at $16 a CD, which is a bit higher than most albums, many of which are in the early $10s.

As for the cost, it is less than three dollars, which is a profit of $13 for a CD.

However, I still have to give a part to the channel dealer, and the last album will make a profit of less than ten dollars.

The release date is set for October 20th, which is still nearly a month away.

During this period of time, they will promote the song through various channels, such as radio stations in various countries, the Internet, etc.~.

A total of 10 million US dollars of publicity funds have been prepared, which is more than double the 5 million of Chengxin.

However, this is also based on the rating of the world.

Ten million dollars? According to the agreement with Chengxin, 30% of the profits will be withdrawn, and it will not cost more than 30 million US dollars to recover the capital?

Hehe, of course it is impossible to calculate it like this, the eight million dollars in publicity expenses will be deducted from the profits when the record makes money, and the rest will be divided into three or seven pieces.

Chengxin also took a general look at the promotional content, and the next thing is to pay online.

They chose several well-known music sites, and each song was priced at $1.29.

The $1.29, excluding all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and fees, is shared by the platform, and Chengxin can get 53 percent, which is about $0.7.

Paid downloads on the Internet will not be released until a period of time has elapsed before the CD will be released, but it will not be delayed for a few months.

"Done? Don't look at the contract? ”

Tang Yong saw that Chengxin put down the plan, but did not look at the sharing contract, and asked on the side.

"I won't read the contract first, I'll just look at the plan today, and I'll bring a lawyer to look at it tomorrow, and we'll sign it after it's okay."

This kind of sharing contract, Chengxin is impossible to sign it after reading it, and he will only sign it after reviewing it with a lawyer.

Everyone should be familiar with the Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix, right? The box office sold hundreds of millions, the cost was 150 million, and with the peripherals, the distributor made a lot of money.

But for a movie that made money like this, many individuals and actors who signed profit dividends at that time didn't get a dime.

Under the operation of other people's distributors, the movie that earned hundreds of millions of dollars was made into a loss of more than 100 million.

What is the publicity of hundreds of millions, how much the production cost of peripheral derivatives, how much is sold, you can make it clear.

If he doesn't pay attention to it a little, Chengxin will be cheated by the contract, so he has to hire a professional to review it before signing the contract.

Regarding Chengxin's lawyer's re-signing after reading it, Tang Yong didn't think there was anything, this is just common sense.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Leaving Capitol Records, Chengxin did not go to the orchestra.

asked Assistant Zhang to take him to a large law firm, directly smashed a million, and hired a team of six or seven lawyers.

The next day, I took a team of lawyers to Capitol Records to sign a contract.

This time there was no more in Tang Yong's office. And there are quite a lot of people on both sides, so I chose the conference room directly.

The professional team is professional, and when Capitol Records handed over the plan and the sharing contract, the lawyer team directly took it, and then a group of people began to review it.

The money was not spent in vain, and a group of lawyers carefully reviewed the contract, and even pointed out the wrong punctuation.

However, this symbol has no impact on the content of the contract, and some of Chengxin's side did not let the capitol record be changed, so as not to delay time.

Since there were no problems with the contract, the parties signed the contract.

"Xiao Zhong, then I'll arrange it, what kind of piano music do you have, if it's recorded, just let Xiao Zhang bring it back."

"Okay, Mr. Tang, you are busy, so I won't bother you much, I have to continue to work hard and make things first."

After speaking, the two sides left separately, and Chengxin saw that the time was not early, and took the lawyer group to the hotel for a meal.

Before leaving, the leader of the lawyer team also gave Chengxin a business card, saying that he could find them if he needed it in the future.

Hehe, such a generous boss. Of course you have to make friends, don't you?

In October, Chengxin is still practicing piano music in the Chinese Music Troupe, and the people of the Chinese Music Troupe do not have a holiday, and go to the residency to practice two symphonies every day.

The recording time has also been set, and it is set on the last day of the National Day in October, that is, on the 7th.

As for the cost, Liu Neng did not accept Chengxin, not because she was generous, but because she had other plans.

However, with some changes, the recording became a live stream.

"Xiao Zhong, we won't charge you for the performance fee, we want you to authorize your piano music and symphony to us, how about it?"

"Ah, no money? This, this, this. ”

It's not that Chengxin doesn't think he can make it, but he feels that the other party is a bit of a loss.

The Chinese Music Troupe, which generally goes out for commercial performances, will cost more than one million yuan per performance, and the commercial performance copyrights of these songs can be sold so much?

Moreover, the entire orchestra was delayed for more than ten days to practice.

"What are you doing, can you give a sentence," Liu Neng said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem."

Anyway, they don't take it themselves, they don't have to spend money, Chengxin will definitely agree.

"Okay, you can wait a while," Liu Neng turned around and left.

After a while, the mobile phone came over with a contract, which was a few piano pieces by Chengxin and a commercial performance authorization contract for two symphonies.

Chengxin took a brief look, no problem, and then signed.

"Hehe, then you continue to practice."

"By the way, the recording location is in the auditorium of Huayin, and there will be teachers and students from the school to watch it at that time, no problem, right?"

"Ah, there are still students and teachers watching?" Cheng Xin was surprised.

"Well, as far as our Huayin is concerned, there are only a few hundred people."

"Also, aren't you someone who hasn't been asked to record yet?"

"When the time comes, we will help you record and cut it all, and send it to you, so you don't need to spend money to hire someone to shoot it?"

"This, this, Liu Lao, I have no experience in performances."

Chengxin really has no experience, but this body has participated in a lot, but this was several years ago.

"What's this, when you just came, in front of dozens of us, didn't you also perform and play the piano, and I didn't see you nervous or anything, what are you afraid of?"

"Also, are you still shy as a big man? Be upright, okay? ”

Hehe, old man.

"Okay, okay, but I also have a condition," Chengxin said after thinking for a while.

Acting is performing, which can save a lot of money, but Chengxin thinks about it, and has new ideas.

"What conditions do you say?"

"This performance, I need to broadcast it live on the Internet."

"I will also give you the cost of the performance, if you agree, then I will agree."

Chengxin thought that since he had to show the performance to others, it would be better to broadcast it live and show it to his own sailors.

"Webcast? We've tried this until nothing, so I'll ask the leader and see what he has to say. ”

"But Chengxin, this is a commercial performance, and the leader may have to charge for it, so you have to be prepared for this."

"It's okay, you ask."

Chengxin didn't care about the money, so it shouldn't be much.

After all, his authorization is worth a little money casually, isn't it?
