Chapter 124: Negotiate and sign a contract, you have to add money!
"Of course that's fine!"
Mike just thought about it and agreed.
After all.
What they value is only Chu Wen's ability to compose English songs.
"Baby" is now an example.
As for Chinese songs, that's not in Mike's mind.
What is the scope of a Chinese song?
At best, it has some influence in Asia.
You must know that English songs are used all over the world!
As long as Chu Wen can be signed.
Even if he didn't sing it, a composer of Chu Wen's level could write a good song.
This is very likely to create a few first-line singers to come out.
It's a good deal no matter how you look at it.
So.
Chu Wen's request was nothing at all.
Mike agreed without hesitation.
"Mr. Chu Wen, can we sign the contract now?"
Determined by this disagreement, Mike asked again.
The uneasiness in his heart grew heavier and heavier.
I want to get things settled quickly.
However, Chu Wen did not directly agree, but looked at Li Mu on the side.
Really.
Li Mu continued to speak: "Mr. Mike, don't worry. ”
"We still haven't talked about the copyright of the song?"
"According to the contract on your side, the copyright of the song belongs to Rolling Stone, which is obviously unreasonable!"
"If it's a song from Rolling Stone, then we can identify with that."
"But you must know that our Mr. Chu Wen has a strong creative ability in his own right, and he has always sang the songs he wrote."
"You don't need resources from Rolling Stone for songs, all you can do is help release the songs."
"Isn't this copyright a little too harsh?"
"We ask that the copyright of the songs composed by Mr. Chu Wen belong to us, can you agree to this?"
Li Mu directly pointed out the problems in the contract, and showed no mercy at all.
Mike's face was a little unpleasant when he heard this.
For Rolling Stone, the copyright of the song has always belonged to the company, which is also the foundation of their existence.
Even for those superstars, they can only own a part of the copyright, and the main copyright of the song is still in the hands of the company.
Now Chu Wen wants all the copyrights of the song, which directly makes Mike's brows furrow.
But.
He also knew in his heart that this article was not fair to Chu Wen.
After thinking about it for a while, Mike still proposed a solution: "The matter of copyright can be discussed. ”
"In this way, we will sign according to the standards of first-line singers."
"The copyright of the song, we Rolling Stone account for 60%, Mr. Chu Wen accounts for 40%, and has the right to sing!"
"No, that's obviously unreasonable!" After Chu Wen heard this request, he shook his head and refused before Li Mu could speak, "I don't agree to this way. ”
The copyright of the song is equivalent to his own child for Chu Wen.
Since his debut, all the copyrights of all the songs Chu Wen has written belong to him.
That hasn't changed.
It is impossible to say that in order to open up the world music market, this was lost.
This is a no-go.
If it is said that the Rolling Stone provides the song, Chu Wen just sings it.
Chu Wen doesn't care about the copyright of the song.
But the song was created by himself from head to toe, and Rolling Stone still wanted a piece of the pie, so Chu Wen would never agree.
Seeing that Chu Wen's attitude was a little tough, Mike also frowned deeply.
"Let's talk about this later, I need to discuss it with the team and look at other terms first."
Mike decided to bring this over first.
Rolling Stone has only opened a hole in a few people over the years.
And all of these people are world-class superstars.
At present, although Chu Wen's "Baby" is popular, it is obviously not at the level of a world-class superstar.
So.
Mike needs to really think about it.
This provision may later stake thousands of dollars and needs to be carefully considered.
Seeing that Mike said this, Chu Wen stopped talking, and handed over the contract to Li Mu again.
Thereupon.
Li Mu continued: "Mr. Mike, I still have a little question here. ”
"How much is your company going to pay?"
This is also the focus of this signing.
Rolling Stone's ability to release and promote its songs is certainly not to be underestimated.
Needless to say, strength.
But it also depends on how much signing money Rolling Stone can give Chu Wen.
If Chu Wen is really signed as a rookie singer, there is no need to sign this contract.
Mike obviously understood Chu Wen's attitude.
So, after thinking about it carefully, he gave a number: "What do you think of five million?" ”
"Dollars?" Li Mu asked.
"Of course." Mike nodded.
After knowing this number, Li Mu and Chu Wen quickly exchanged glances.
Five million dollars is 30 million Chinese coins.
This signing fee is already quite a lot in China.
With Chu Wen's current fame, it is twice as high as this.
But for the international market.
Chu Wen is still a pure newcomer.
A pure newcomer can get a signing fee of five million US dollars, which is already very high.
But Chu Wen was not satisfied.
He knows what he's capable of.
Becoming popular is only a matter of time or time.
Not to mention that "Baby" is now on the hot list.
He's not a pure newcomer with nothing.
Mike must be a little low for such a price.
After Li Mu saw Chu Wen's eyes, he also knew what Chu Wen meant.
Thereupon.
He shook his head and said directly: "Mr. Mike, this signing fee is too low!" ”
"You must know that "baby" has rushed to the top ten in the world, and its ranking is still growing!"
"It won't be long before it even has a chance to hit the first place!"
"The signing fee of five million US dollars is definitely okay for a rookie singer, but it is definitely not enough for us Chu Wenda!"
"Gotta add money!"
Li Mu didn't go around the bush and directly pointed out our needs.
Gotta add money!
"How much do you want to add?" Mike wasn't surprised.
He had thought of this before.
Offering $500 was also his temptation.
Now that he probably knows the reserve price on Chu Wen's side, Mike knows it in his heart.
"At least $20 million!"
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he directly reported a number.
$20 million, which is a full four times more than the previous signing fee!
Mike didn't expect Li Mu to be able to say such a number.
He was directly taken aback: "This is impossible!" ”
After saying this, seeing that Li Mu and Chu Wen's faces were a little not good, Mike added: "We can agree to it for 10 million US dollars." ”
"20 million is still too high, this can be regarded as the signing fee of a first-line singer!"
"Although Mr. Chu Wen has a song that is popular now, he is still a newcomer after all."
"We at Rolling Stone don't have such a precedent!"
