Chapter 7: Threats?
Although during the conversation, Hong Tao was smiling throughout the conversation.
But at the end of hearing it, Lin Xi could clearly feel the deep meaning.
If you agree to join the new era, you will be guaranteed a place in the competition.
For example, in this first issue, "Take You to Travel" is more catchy, but the quality is low, and the ranking may not be too good.
But if you join the new era, you can get a high ranking, and maybe you can hope to get the first place!
The same is true for the next few editions.
Even if Lin Xi can't create many high-quality songs later, he can still go to the finals!
became famous in one fell swoop, and his fame soared.
But if you don't agree to join, it will be difficult to get a good ranking.
This is also a common routine of all kinds of competition-type variety shows.
Even the draft.
If you are a trainee of a large company, the probability of making your debut in the end will be very high.
Even some large companies directly have a guaranteed debut quota!
In the process of listening, Lin Xi did not directly raise objections.
After listening, he said unhurriedly: "Thank you Director Hong for your love, I am really flattered." Before I came, I didn't expect Director Hong to invite me to join the new era. ”
"But...... I still want to know, what do I need to do if I join the new era? ”
Hong Tao smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything." You just need to create with peace of mind, write lyrics and compose music. The work you write will be handed over to the company, and all the companies will help you run it. ”
"For example, your song "Take You to Travel", after you join, the company will launch a full range of resources to promote this song, so that it can become popular in a short period of time. Ling's fame naturally soared. ”
Lin Xi nodded, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.
He continued to ask: "So, if I join the new era, the company will help me arrange all-round promotion of the songs I write in the future." But will the copyright also be in the company? ”
Hong Tao was noncommittal, but said in a more clever way: "Of course not. As the original author of the song, the copyright belongs to the author himself, which is a national law, and the commercial and sale of each song must be subject to your consent. If you do not agree, the Company has no right to deal with it directly. ”
"However, the agency is definitely here in the company. And in addition to the buyout price of each song, you will also participate in the sharing of channel revenue. Generally speaking, it is divided into 37 shares, and the company accounts for 70%. ”
"So, even if it's divided into three or seven, you won't suffer."
When Lin Xi heard this, he was already completely clear.
After thinking about it for a while, in Hong Tao's surprised eyes, he chose to refuse.
"Do you think the score is too low?" Hong Tao pushed his glasses and explained: "Thirty-seven shares, it seems that the company accounts for a lot, but you can calculate an account." The price negotiated by the company for you is definitely much higher than the price you negotiated yourself. Secondly, the company spends money to help you promote, as well as the company's various channels, which is also a large expense. ”
"So even if the company accounts for the lion's share, the income you get won't decrease much."
"Also, you can ask about the market. Several top music companies in China offer similar conditions to new songwriters. ”
"Thank you again for your kindness. However, I am still a university student and do not plan to join the company at this time. At least, I won't think about it until I graduate. Lin Xi said more tactfully, but his attitude was very resolute.
Thirty-seven divided.
In his opinion, it is absolutely impossible to accept.
Perhaps, the average rookie songwriter will even be happy when he has to sign such a contract when he signs a big company.
Just like Hong Tao said.
When you join a large company, your status is different, and the company will not only spend money to promote your work, but also use the company's various channels.
These added values add up to a high share for newcomers.
But for Lin Xi, he is actually not a newcomer!
Behind him, there is an accumulation of excellent literary and artistic works in the whole world!
There's no need for a big company's platform, and there's no need to spend much money to pitch.
As long as there is the right opportunity, these excellent works can bloom with dazzling brilliance!
So the seemingly excellent treatment in the new era is worthless to him.
And.
In addition to the share, joining these large companies is also equivalent to signing a deed of sale.
When the time comes, he can't resist what tasks the company assigns to him, how to deal with his songs, or who he wants to sell his songs to!
Hong Tao's words just now were also very clear.
The copyright of the song is in the hands of Lin Xi, but the management right is in the hands of the company.
In other words, Lin Xi can decide who his songs will sell to, and the company can also decide.
It seems that both parties are fair and the conditions are equal.
This is far from the case.
It's good when there is no difference of opinion between the two parties, but when there is a disagreement, there is often only a personal compromise!
Because once the individual does not compromise, the company will directly 'block' you!
What else can an individual do?
After all, after the ban, the company will continue to operate as usual, and there will be no trouble because of it.
But the individual is directly suffering from the catastrophe.
In his previous life, he was also in the entertainment industry, and Lin Xike knew the way too well.
I have also seen many 'disobedient' artists who have been banned by the agency.
"Don't think about it anymore?" Hong Tao asked.
"Thank you, Director Hong, for your kindness." Lin Xi replied.
There is no direct refusal, but the meaning of the refusal is extremely obvious.
"Bai Lu and you are in the same class, you are classmates and good friends. Don't you think Bai Lu has also joined our new century, is it also good? If you all join the company, there will be more opportunities to get along and cooperate in the future. Hong Tao finally persuaded.
Lin Xi was still unmoved.
The friendship between him and Bai Lu for more than three years is no longer an ordinary friendship.
He will not be affected in any way because he joins or does not join the new century.
Bai Lu can't break off his friendship with him because he doesn't join the new century.
"That'...... I wish Lin Xi a good participation in the competition, create more and better works in the next few issues, be able to get a good ranking, and finally reach the finals. Hong Tao stood up and shook hands with Lin Xi.
"I lend you good words." Lin Xi responded with a smile.
But how did he hear this, not in a bit like a blessing to him?
If you don't give face and don't accept the invitation, do you have to find a way to eliminate him?
Hehe.
Threaten me? I'm not afraid!
If you have the ability, you will eliminate him in the first issue.
But if he is not eliminated in the first issue.
In the next issue, he will change his cooperation partner, and he will no longer be Wang Xiaokai, a pig teammate.
As long as you have a little normal singing skills, if you can still eliminate me, you are amazing!
