Chapter 229: Yu Yi and Warner's cooperation, negotiation terms, and $15 million signing contract

The heads of record companies such as Warner, Universal, and EMI heard the wind and began to take the initiative to contact Dou Daxian one by one.

The person in charge of Warner asked: "Mr. Dou, did Yu Yi really terminate the contract with Sony?" ”

Dou Daxian pretended to be puzzled and asked, "This kind of thing is still uncertain, so don't ask around." ”

The other side immediately said: "Don't hang up the phone, Mr. Dou, let's not talk about those who have and don't, I think if Mr. Yu is ready to release an English album, there is still a lack of channels, right?" ”

Dou Daxian pretended not to care and said, "So what? Our Dawning record company has also opened, and you can play it yourself in the future, and foreign channels will take your time, and I believe that you can also smash out a channel by throwing money. ”

After listening to this, the other side laughed and said: "It seems that Yu Yi did have a falling out with Sony, I wonder if Yu Tianwang plans to cooperate with us?"

You also know the strength of our Warners, we are very good all over the world, and the signing fee will not be less, I hope you will seriously consider it. ”

Dou Daxian pretended to have a gloomy face and said, "No need, we can do it ourselves." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone, but he was very uneasy in his heart, and said in his heart, Mr. Yu, don't fool yourself, otherwise we won't have to eat.

Not long after hanging up, the phone rang again, but Dou Daxian did not answer, and just like that, the phone rang for half an hour before stopping.

At the same time, Mr. Li, the head of Sony's domestic department, received a call from the headquarters of the Japanese country: "Are you a pig?" Why did it happen like this, wasn't it good before? Why did this result come to an end all of a sudden?

Don't you know how hot Yu Yi is right now? In the future, if you release an English album, you will only make more, and it will be all dollars, green dollars, you know? ”

Mr. Li said aggrievedly: "This is because of the Golden Melody Awards, we did not strive for favorable resources for him, and in addition, because we agreed to put pressure on him together with the Golden Melody Awards, so the current result was caused." ”

scolded on the other side: "Baga, you idiot, haven't you thought that all the singers in the domestic company now don't have high sales of Yu Yi's albums?" Why would such a stupid request be agreed? ”

Mr. Li replied: "But he asked us to give him a share three times and twice, and finally even took away the production rights, and we can earn less and less, don't I think I can put pressure on him?" ”

The other side said angrily: "Baga, you stupid pig, even so, we can make a lot of money, English albums are even more profitable, an album is more than 100 for Huayuan, you idiot,

If it weren't for the fact that you have made a lot of contributions to the company, the headquarters knows you, and this time it will definitely let you get out, this time, I want you to get Yu Yi back no matter what method you use, otherwise, you just wait. ”

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Li scolded with an ugly face: "Fucking people are mentally retarded, this kind of thing was originally done with your consent to me, but now the responsibility is shifted to me one by one.

What else do I have credit for? If it weren't for me, would you have this harvest in China? How much does it bring you every year?

Yu Yi's dog thing is really, isn't it just a joke? As for being so on the line? ”

The next day, a group of people, including the person in charge of Warner, the person in charge of Universal Company, and the person in charge of EMI Company, came to Shuguang Company.

After seeing a group of people on the other side, Dou Daxian said with a gloomy face: "What are you doing here?" Didn't you say we don't want to work with you? ”

Mr. Xu, the person in charge of Warner in China, said with a smile: "Mr. Dou, don't be angry, don't worry, I don't know if Yu Tianwang is in the company?" ”

Dou Daxian waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yu is not in the company, just tell me if you have anything to say, I am responsible for the record, and Yu Tianwang handed over this matter to me." ”

Mr. Xu and several people suddenly became interested.

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Dou, can we talk?" After all, we all know that your company can indeed do those things, but can Yu Tianwang afford to wait?

With Yu Tianwang's current fame, he should need to prove his strength with an English album, and he also needs to earn this money, right? ”

Dou Daxian looked thoughtful, and then beckoned to a few people and said, "Okay, let's discuss it, you come with me." ”

The group came to the conference room and waited for the assistant to serve them tea.

Dou Daxian said: "Since you're here, let's talk, I don't know how you planned Yu Tianwang's English album?" I'll tell Yu Tianwang about this. ”

Mr. Xu, the person in charge of Warner, took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Dou, our arrangement is to let Yu Tianwang develop in Europe and the United States, after all, you also know that the sales of English albums are not comparable to Chinese albums.

Of course, the more albums Yu Tianwang has, the better, twelve albums a year is not a big deal, the international market can afford it, and there is no need to worry about being suppressed.

After all, Warner is the premier entertainment company in the United States, and the eight major Hollywood companies have our Warner, and it is even very high. ”

The people of several other companies are also similar, but some companies focus on the development of Southeast Asia, some are the development of Asia, and only Warner, Universal, and EMI are the European and American markets.

Dou Daxian pondered for a moment and said to the heads of several companies in Polygram: "I'm sorry, Yu Tianwang's future development will face the world, so Southeast Asia and Asia are not considered. ”

The heads of several Polygram record companies regretted leaving when they saw this, they thought that Yu Yi would work steadily and get through Asia first, but they didn't expect the ambition to be so big.

Then only people from Warner, EMI, and Universal were left in the conference room.

Dou Daxian said: "Since several of you plan to cooperate, then let's talk about it, you talk about your conditions, what kind of treatment can you give?" ”

Mr. Xu, the person in charge of Warner, took the lead in saying: "On the issue of treatment, the people will give Yu Tianwang a signing fee of 10 million US dollars.

Secondly, as long as Yu Tianwang's English album results are outstanding enough, we will actively strive for many awards such as the Grammys, and it will not be like the domestic Golden Melody Awards, nor will it be disgusting like Sony. ”

The person in charge of Momoyo said: "We have won 11 million signing fees, and we can do what Warner can do." ”

The person in charge of the universe said with a smile: "We will give Yu Tianwang a signing fee of 12 million, and we can do the above, in addition, Yu Tianwang seems to be still a director, right?"

At that time, we will also fight for him to win a film contract with the headquarters, and if we can, it is not impossible to directly invest in Yu Tianwang's films. ”

Looking at the comparison of several people, Dou Daxian's heart blossomed, I want you to compare, otherwise I am a little uncomfortable, I hope that the more fierce you fight, the better.

Dou Daxian pondered for a moment and said, "I think about it, I have received your sincerity, and I will tell Yu Tianwang." ”

Mr. Warner Xu looked at the people of Baidai and Universal, gritted his teeth and said: "We can also do what Universal can do, and in addition, I can get Fifteen million signing fees for Yu Tianwang,

Of course not, this is just a signing fee, and it will not be like some companies, where the signing fee will also be taken from the singer's profits. ”

Speaking of this, the faces of the people of Momoyo darkened, which almost pointed at his nose, saying that they were not kind.

When the people of the world heard this, their hearts tightened, and they said to Dou Daxian: "I want to discuss this matter with the leaders of our company, please wait a minute." ”

Dou Daxian smiled: "Please." ”

Seeing this, the people of Baidai instantly understood something, what Yu Yi wanted should be to catch up with the rhythm of Hollywood's eight major congresses, so no matter how much money his company spends, it will be useless, so he simply sat down to drink tea and watch the play.

The person in charge of Universal called the headquarters: "Leader, the people from Warner paid a signing fee of 15 million US dollars, but the signing fee is not included, should we continue to follow up?" ”

The other side smiled and said, "Do you think Yu Yi is worth the price?" ”

The person in charge of the universe said: "If Yu Yi's album is not very bad, even if it can't be the dominant one in China, it won't be too bad to think about.

After all, Chinese albums can sell nearly 20 million copies a year, so the sales of English albums will only be more.

As long as it can reach 10 million copies, 10 dollars for an album, and finally the company can make at least 30 million a year, or even more. ”

The other side smiled and said: "That's not it, what's more, if I'm not mistaken, Yu is still a director, his movie "Three Fools" was recently released in Hollywood, and the box office is not bad, such a person is worth wooing." ”

The person in charge of the universe immediately understood the meaning of the other side, nodded and said, "I understand, let's do it." ”

Subsequently, the person in charge of Universal said: "We are also willing to bid 15 million on the same terms as Warner." ”

Mr. Warner Xu was stunned for a moment, and then thought about what else he could do?

It is unlikely that it will increase the money, fifteen million dollars is already an astronomical amount, and it is not realistic to add more, and the above will not agree.

So he gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Dou, we can accept that the copyright belongs to your company, or to Yu Tianwang alone, and I can call the shots." ”

I thought in my heart, anyway, this thing made money in the first few years, and no one might pick it up if it was thrown away in vain in the future, so it's not impossible to simply do personal favors.

After speaking, he looked at the person in charge of the world proudly.

Dou Daxian continued, continuing to add.

The person in charge of the world gasped after hearing this, good guy, it's really willing.

However, after weighing it in his heart, he said: "Mr. Dou, our company is also willing." ”

Dou Daxian smiled and said, "Since both parties are so willing, then I'll ask Yu Tianwang what he means." ”

Afterwards, Dou Daxian called Yu Yi to tell him about it.

Yu Yi thought for a while and said: "You can try to bring the production rights to our company, although this is a bit immoral, but to make money, don't shudder." ”

Dou Daxian was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Yu, are you sure you want to do this?" It's cutting their flesh. ”

Yu Yi said indifferently: "Try it, it's okay if it doesn't work, it's okay if you become our company, you can make a lot of money."

If you think about it, if you think about it, 10 million sales a year, and at least ten dollars for an album over there, we can make too much. ”

Dou Daxian said: "100 million US dollars a year, in exchange for one-tenth of it, there are also 10 million US dollars, that is 80 million, hey, you must fight for it, I ponder it." ”

Dou Daxian went home and told the princess about it, and the princess asked incredulously after hearing it, "Are they really so willing?" ”

Dou Daxian sighed with emotion: "Yes, I am indeed willing, but for the time being, I am thinking about how to get the production fee." ”

The princess smiled: "Actually, you don't need to be like this, just reveal it a little, or say a side knock, if it happens, I want to join your company." ”

Dou Daxian glanced at the princess, and then said excitedly: "Actually, it's not impossible, Mr. Yu should have a lot of English albums suitable for girls to sing.

As long as we can have an album a year, we will make a lot of money, but will there be a dispute with Momoyo? ”

The princess spread her hands and said: "We went to sign a Chinese album at that time, and the sales were generally in Southeast Asia, or even only at home and abroad. ”

Dou Daxian said with a smile: "I'll discuss it with Mr. Yu another day, but I have to wait for a while, and I have to let him gain a firm foothold abroad before he has the right to speak." ”

The princess nodded and said, "I naturally understand this kind of thing, but it's really an honor for us to meet Mr. Yu." ”

Dou Daxian nodded and said: "Yes, if it weren't for him, I might still be nesting in a small workshop now, that is, because of him, we can have a better life and everything we have now." ”

The princess smiled: "You are humble, if it weren't for your good ability, Mr. Yu would still be able to look down on you?" I've swept you out of the house a long time ago, and it's useless for anyone to talk. ”

Dou Daxian laughed and said: "Yes, it's also because you have the ability, but Yu Yi is really at ease to do things, and I am fully responsible for the things arranged, and I am not afraid of messing him up." ”

The princess leaned on Dou Daxian's arms and said, "This is his trust in you, I don't think ordinary people will be at ease, right?"

Dou Daxian smiled: "That's natural, although this guy looks very arrogant about doing things, but everything is planned in his mind." ”

After the third day, Dou Daxian saw the two again, but at this time, there was obviously an anxious look on the faces of the two, and they couldn't help but be anxious, if Yu Yi was really capable, it was not impossible for the next Michael Jackson.

Dou Daxian smiled: "Come and let's drink tea and talk while drinking." ”

After chatting for a while, Dou Daxian said inadvertently: "Alas, in fact, our Yu Tianwang's previous cooperation with Sony was really good, and they even handed over the production rights to our company, with high sincerity.

If it weren't for Mr. Li forcing Yu Tianwang to agree to the Golden Melody Award, I don't think Yu Tianwang would have terminated the contract with them, otherwise he would have cooperated directly as before, where would he be so troublesome as he is now. ”

Mr. Xu and the person in charge of the world understood the whole story, although there were some speculations before, but in the end it was not as sincere as the other party said.

Immediately, Mr. Xu didn't know what to think, and said to Dou Daxian: "Mr. Dou, I'll discuss things with the company, please wait a while." ”

Dou Daxian smiled: "Please, we have time." ”

The person in charge of the world also came back to his senses and said the same thing to Dou Daxian.

The person in charge of Warner called the company: "Boss, our negotiations with Yu Yi are at an impasse now, our conditions are the same as Universal's, can we give them the production fee?" ”

The other side was silent for a while and said: "It's not impossible, but you have to add a time limit, and you can't terminate the contract within ten years, besides, isn't he an excellent film director?" Later films require a limited selection of our Warners. ”

Mr. Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "But in this way, isn't it just giving them benefits?" ”

The other side laughed and said: "As a qualified businessman, what I want to tell you is to have a vision, you see that Yu Yi is now 22 years old and has won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in Berlin.

And what about after that? Could he be the next Cameron? Do you know how much box office Titanic has? Do you know what a director like Cameron means to Hollywood's Big Eight? ”

Mr. Xu said thoughtfully: "I think it's more than 2 billion US dollars, you mean we can participate in such an investment." ”

The other side smiled: "Yes, even if it's not all the investment, half of the investment, these can be recouped, in addition, he is still a creative genius,

Such people are simply our most loyal partners, how can we not seize such an opportunity? Even, it is likely that because of this incident, Warner will become the No. 1 film and television company in Hollywood. ”

Mr. Xu caught the traces and said: "You are still smart." ”

The opposite side smiled: "Okay, you go talk, try your best, it doesn't matter if we give up some leftovers, the Grammys speak by strength, and the winner takes all." ”

The person in charge of the world on the other side received a call of refusal: "You tell them that this is impossible, even if it is 10 million sales a year, we will make 10 million dollars less every year, or even more, we will never agree to this kind of thing." ”

When the two sides told Dou Daxian their respective answers, the result of this matter was obvious.

Dou Daxian said with a smile: "We have agreed to your company's conditions, then our Yu Tianwang will cooperate with Warner Company in the future, and I hope to take care of it more." ”

Mr. Xu wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation, I hope Yu Tianwang can release an English album as soon as possible to prove his strength,

It's also convincing to everyone, after all, I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and there are a lot of people who have advice and opinions on this. ”

Dou Daxian laughed and said: "This is natural, I believe that Yu Tianwang will produce a high-quality album as soon as possible." ”

Mr. Xu smiled: "Then I don't know when we will sign the contract?" ”

Dou Daxian smiled: "We can sign the contract whenever it is convenient for you." ”

Mr. Xu smiled: "Then the day after tomorrow." ”

Dou Daxian smiled: "Okay." ”

Everyone tacitly ignored the matter of domestic albums, after all, they are not stupid, so it is clear that they want to make money on their own, and I don't know if there is a reason for falling out with Sony?

On the same day, Dou Daxian told Yu Yi the news.

After hearing this, Yu Yi was stunned for a while and said, "Really? Can you agree to this? ”

Dou Daxian smiled: "Yes, I agreed, the contract the day after tomorrow." ”

Yu Yi smiled: "No problem, when the time comes, it will be done." ”

After hanging up, Yu Yi showed a meaningful smile, fishing, if you want to bite the hook, I can't help it, this kind of wool sent to the door, it's a pity not to take a look.

Not long after, Yu Yi received a call from Mr. Li.

Mr. Li cried on the phone and said: "Yu Tianwang, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that before, as long as you continue to sign a contract with our company, I am willing to do whatever you want me to do." ”

Yu Yi smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Li's good calculation, are you waiting for me to be cheated by you again?" Do you know how I've been doing these years?

Do you know under what conditions those songs were written? Do you know how many brain cells I've died to do this? You don't know anything. ”

As he spoke, Yu Yi also performed, and even shouted out in the end.

After hearing this, Mr. Li said embarrassedly: "But didn't Mr. Yu also transfer a lot of money?" ”

Yu Yi snorted coldly: "How many?" You're making more, aren't you? The result? What did you do to me? I have suffered so much grievance, and I still want to continue to sign a contract? If you want to eat fart, it's impossible in this life,

I, Yu Yi, want to be faced, unlike some people, when I get used to being a dog, I even forget which country I am from, I will never be able to do this,

By the way, don't contact me in the future, I've already signed a contract with someone from Warner, and I'm afraid that someone from Warner will misunderstand. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After saying this call, Yu Yi only felt refreshed.

Mr. Li was stunned on the spot.

Seeing Yu Yi like this, Chen Hong asked with a smile: "Brother Yi'er, why are you so happy?" ”

Yu Yi kissed Chen Hong and said: "Of course it's a good thing, I have contacted Warner, and I will ...... in the future."

After hearing this, Chen Hong asked in surprise, "Is Warner so stupid?" ”

Yu Yi laughed and said: "This kind of opportunity to make money, Warner naturally doesn't want to miss it, what do you think I am in now?" ”

Chen Hong laughed and said, "Brother Yi'er, I found that you are getting more and more stinky now." ”

Yu Yi smiled: "I'll let you taste my awesome......"

Three days later, Yu Yi signed a contract with Warner's people, and Mr. Xu said with a smile: "Yu Tianwang, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future." ”

Yu Yi smiled: "I wish us to make a lot of money together in the future." ”

Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I wish us to make a lot of money together in the future." ”

Not surprisingly, Yu Yi's $15 million signing with Warner caused an uproar again, and many people gasped when they saw it.

Good guy, in the past, the princess of 60 million already thought that it was a sky-high signing fee, but now Yu Yi directly came to a signing fee of more than 100 million.

However, some people are very worried about this, worried that Yu Yi will continue to release Chinese albums?

There is also a discussion on the Internet:

: I'm worried about whether Yu Yi will continue to release Chinese albums? Will we not be able to listen to Yu Yi's Chinese album in the future?

: Probably not, didn't Yu Yi say it before? Chinese albums will still come out, maybe just a little bit.

: Ahem, don't you think that's a good thing? According to Yu Yi's urine, the number of albums is less, and the quality will definitely go up, but I don't know how many high-quality songs there will be this time.
