Chapter 54: Earning Money on Your Knees? Signed with Sony

Chen Hongxiao introduced: "This is a top student of Qingzheng College, he is here to work part-time, and this is the company's first signed artist, Yu Yi." ”

Zhang San smiled lightly: "Hello, I'm Zhang San, happy cooperation." ”

Yu Yi looked at Zhang San, who looked arrogant, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is the incomplete Zhang San, if it is the complete body in the future, he will definitely be witty.

Now, it's still very much in line with the temperament of young people.

Yu Yi was not pretentious, and chuckled: "Hello, I am Yu Yi, and I am happy to cooperate." ”

It didn't take long for the person in charge of Warner Records to come, and Chen Hong introduced: "This is Mr. Zhang of Warner Records, who is in charge of the record company in the mainland, and this is Yu Yi, the singer I introduced to Mr. Zhang." ”

Mr. Zhang smiled: "When I see you, I think you are very suitable to be a singer, if your acting skills are good, then it is no problem to be comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings." ”

Yu Yi laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang praised it falsely, and I have heard Mr. Zhang's name for a long time." ”

After greeting each other for a while, Yu Yi asked, "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what the division of the album is now?" ”

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you release an album before?" Don't understand this kind of thing? ”

Yu Yi smiled: "I was a minor at the time, and one of my elders was in charge, and I don't know the specifics. ”

Mr. Zhang remembered the age of the person in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you are really genius enough, these are basically public in the circle,

I'll tell you about the current sharing method: offline platforms, that is, video stores, small shops, etc., get 30%, and lyrics and music composers get a total of 5%,

Producers get 7%-9%, most of them are 8%, according to the distribution cost, record companies can get 40%-60%, singers can get 1%-20%, and generally get up to 8%, 20% is only Michael Jackson. ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes lit up and said: "As for your words, you were a little famous before, and the company can give 5% of the share, but the copyright belongs to the company, and all companies are like this." ”

Yu Yi frowned and said: "There is no rush to divide in advance, but the copyright of the song must be my own, and I will never give in to this." ”

Mr. Zhang leaned back and said lightly: "Do you think you are very famous?" Those famous singers may not be able to get the copyright, let alone you,

You are also a newcomer now, and it is already the result of my efforts to give you 5%, otherwise there will only be less than 1% of the share, and you can only get a dead salary, you think about it. ”

Yu Yi laughed angrily: "Isn't this just a kneeling begging for food?" The sales of my two albums released at the age of 13 are not lower than those kings and queens, right?

Not to mention that the share is so low, and the copyright of the song can't be my own? Eat the last house and eat the next house, how much do you eat a fish? ”

Mr. Zhang sneered: "Kneeling to ask for food? Then there has to be that opportunity, ordinary people can't even eat this mouthful of food, young people don't be too arrogant,

Andy, do you know? Didn't he do the same then? Which green onion do you think you are? Compared with other kings and queens, don't pee and take pictures? ”

Yu Yi replied: "If you are not angry, you are still called a young man?" I'm going to eat this bite of rice standing up, and whoever doesn't give me a chance I'll smash this pot, you know? ”

Looking at Yu Yi's unkind eyes, and then thinking of a brick smashed down in the capital, nine out of ten are very related to the situation.

Mr. Zhang's heart was a little hairy, so he couldn't help but sit up straight and swallowed his saliva and said, "You think about it yourself, Mr. Chen, I'll leave first." ”

After Mr. Zhang left, Chen Hong said with a headache: "There is no need for this at all, most of them are like this now." ”

Yu Yi frowned and said: "We eat with dignity, and I don't want to eat the food that comes to us." ”

Chen Hong raised his forehead and said, "That's up to you." ”

In the next few days, Yu Yi contacted several companies, but the conditions were similar.

Yu Yi couldn't help but be a little discouraged, did he really choose a small company? Or do it yourself?

Then he told Chen Hong about this idea.

Chen Hong smiled bitterly: "I want to do this too, but now we have no reputation, no channels, it takes a lot of time and energy to run offline channels, wait for you to release one or two albums and become famous, or let's take a look at Sony?" ”

Yu Yi thought for a while and had no choice but to respond.

The next day, Yu Yi and the others met with the head of Sony.

This person smiled when he met: "You are Yu Yi, right?" I have been looking up for a long time, I am the vice president of Sony Records, you can call me Lao Li, I didn't expect you to look so handsome now, at first glance, you are a singer who can become popular. ”

Yu Yi smiled: "Mr. Li, to be honest, I have contacted many companies before, I want to know if your company can let me get the copyright of the song, if not, then we don't need to talk about it." ”

Mr. Li laughed and said: "This matter depends on the situation, if you ensure that each album has the same level as before, the copyright can be discussed, if it is average, then I'm sorry, the company is not charitable." ”

Yu Yi didn't reply, and directly took the song "Faith" to Mr. Li, and the songs have been registered for copyright in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.

Mr. Li took it and began to watch it, as the vice president of the record company, he has a foundation in lyrics and songs, so he can understand it.

After reading it, Mr. Li said with a shocked face: "Your song is good, see how many other songs you have written?" I wonder how the other songs compare to this one? ”

Yu Yi smiled: "There are one or two songs that are similar to this song, and the others are not bad, standard love songs." ”

Mr. Li pondered for a while and said: "I'll go back and discuss this matter with the head office, by the way, have you registered the copyright of this song?" ”

Yu Yi smiled: "All three places have been registered. ”

Mr. Li laughed and said, "Okay, then you wait for my news." ”

Chen Hong asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that this incident will also be yellow?" ”

Yu Yi smiled faintly: "Eat my flesh and drink my blood, if these conditions can't be met, then let's spend money and do things ourselves, and it's not bad for this money and time." ”

Chen Hong smiled bitterly: "Okay, your temper is still so hard." ”

…………

After Mr. Li returned to the company, he held a meeting to talk about the matter, and finally mentioned it again: "He attaches great importance to the copyright of songs, there is a song here, you can take a look at it first, he guarantees that every album is not bad,

In addition, he will be able to get more than 4 million in 91 years, that is the mainland, that is the capital, you can consider it yourself. ”

The heated discussion of everyone unanimously agreed: "If each album can have half the sales of "Love" and "Chasing the Wind", then we can earn at least 20 million a year,

Copyright doesn't matter, let's press 6% first, if the sales volume can we mention it, after all, ......"

On the third day, Yu Yi and several people discussed the details of the signing in the conference room, and after a heated discussion, 6.5% was shared, and the copyright belonged to Yu Yi himself.
