In fact, when "Red Rose" reached the top of the list, the number of song downloads had already exceeded 1.2 million!
This is not only a gorgeous number, but also means that Lin Yuan has officially obtained the qualification to advance to a senior composer.
To put it more bluntly:
It’s time to get Xianyu a profit-sharing contract!
Lin Yuan had previously signed a standard newcomer contract, in which the company directly took 80% of the profits.
We need to negotiate with the company about what changes we want to make.
The company's senior composers do not sign the same contracts.
Lin Yuan had just reached the advancement standard for senior composers, and Lao Zhou found Lin Yuan and asked directly: "You have reached the senior composer standard set by the company. What do you think about the new contract?"
Any ideas
Lin Yuan looked at Lao Zhou in confusion. Isn't this just nonsense? Of course, the more money the better!
"… "
Old Zhou actually understood the meaning of Lin Yuan's gaze, and he was not angry. He smiled kindly and said, "I will personally help you negotiate the contract with the company."
Lin Yuan hesitated.
Is Lao Zhou trustworthy
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a familiar figure walked in.
This person was Zhao Jue. After she entered the room, she looked at Lao Zhou and said, "Lin Yuan has reached the standard of a senior composer. I plan to negotiate a new contract with the company on behalf of Lin Yuan."
Old Zhou glanced at Zhao Jue and said, "I can do it."
Zhao Jue shook his head: "I can negotiate a better contract."
Lao Zhou was unhappy: "Don't forget that Lin Yuan is from our composing department. Do you think you have more face than me, or do you think that if I come forward, I will betray Lin Yuan?"
This Xiao Zhao is not honest!
Lin Yuan is already mine, why are you trying to snatch the opportunity from me to perform
Zhao Jue was also a little unhappy and reminded Lao Zhou: "I signed Lin Yuan in."
"I'll do it."
"I'll do it!"
"I, Zhou Ruiming, dare to challenge the top management!"
"I know the boss very well!"
"… "
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lin Yuan could only say, "How about you two go together?"
"Together?"
Lao Zhou and Zhao Jue looked at each other and suddenly smiled knowingly: "Okay, wait for our good news."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Five minutes later.
Zhou Ruiming and Zhao Jue came to the Finance Department. The Finance Department of Xingmang Entertainment has a dedicated person in charge of contract matters for senior composers.
"What brings you two here?"
When the contract manager saw Zhou Ruiming and Zhao Jue at the same time, he was stunned for a moment, then a warm smile appeared on his face.
Both of them are powerful figures in the company.
Zhou Ruiming said: "Change the contract for Xianyu."
The person in charge immediately turned bitter and said, "Are you going to negotiate on behalf of Xianyu?"
Zhou Ruiming nodded.
The person in charge suddenly had a headache.
This type of contract is usually negotiated between the composer and the company.
Only for some composers with extremely high potential will the supervisor personally come forward to help negotiate with them.
This is the situation that the person in charge fears the most!
In order to sell favors to these high-potential composers, these supervisors are often the most aggressive in their attitude towards gaining benefits, and they completely stand on the side of the composers!
The person in charge's task is to stand on the side of the company's interests and try to lower the price as much as possible.
"And who is Chief Zhao?"
The person in charge looked at Zhao Jue.
Zhao Jue said: "Same as him."
The person in charge glared: "Who are you here for?"
Zhao Jue said, "I envy you."
The person in charge opened his mouth, gestured in the air twice, but no words came out.
…
When Zhao Jue and Zhou Ruiming left, the person in charge had collapsed at the table, startling the subordinates next to him: "What are you doing?"
"I am the sinner of the company."
The person in charge spoke weakly.
The subordinate was helpless: "Explain to the higher-ups?"
The person in charge glanced at his subordinate and said, "If you can think of it, how can I not think of it? As soon as the senior management heard that it was Xianyu's contract, they told me to handle it myself."
“How much did you sign?”
"Is that what you should be asking?"
The subordinate smiled awkwardly and retreated quietly.
The person in charge said casually: "Next time we bring up a contract, the senior management will probably have to come and discuss it in person."
The subordinate was shocked.
On the other side, Lao Zhou and Zhao Jue had already returned to the composition department. They seemed very imposing and slammed the new contract on the table: "Here is your new contract."
"How do you divide it?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat expectant.
Zhao Jue smiled and said, "If you work with young singers in the future, you can directly get 50% of the distribution rights. You have the final say on how much the singers take. Of course, they also have the right to refuse, but I think probably no young singer will refuse the opportunity to work with you."
Lin Yuan began to settle the accounts:
According to the algorithm of this contract, he could only get 1.5% before, but now he can directly get 4.5%, which is directly tripled. This means that Lin Yuan’s monthly song share amount will be directly multiplied by three, and the price of customized songs from the system will instantly become very cost-effective.
"in addition."
Lao Zhou added: "If you are working with a big-name singer, the company can give you 30% of the profits. The company will send someone to talk to the singer and the agent about the remaining 60%, which has nothing to do with you."
Lin Yuan: “…”
This is why he doesn't like working with big names.
If you cooperate with a tool person, you can get 45% and just give out 0.5%; if you cooperate with a big brand, you can only get 3%.
The price difference is as much as 1.5%!
Don't underestimate this 15% share. Lin Yuan made money from his previous songs by relying on this 15% share, and he made a lot of money in total.
"Lin Yuan."
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "For you who have just become a senior composer, this contract is already the best one at the moment. Other senior composers have more excellent works than you, but their contracts may not be better than yours."
"Um."
Zhao Jue nodded: "When you create more excellent works in the future, this contract can be raised. At that time, Lao Zhou and I can help you negotiate."
"Thanks."
While talking, Lin Yuan read the entire contract. After making sure there were no problems, he wrote "Xianyu" and his own name in the signature column.
"That's right."
After Lin Yuan signed, he suddenly became curious and asked, "How did those Qu Dads split the profits with the company?"
"100%."
Zhao Jue smiled.
No singers involved
Before Lin Yuan could envy him, Lao Zhou added: "Some Qu Dads can also participate in various types of profit sharing besides downloading."
Lin Yuan was shocked.
The profit from songs is not only from download share, but also from singers’ announcements and even concerts, etc. The share from these projects is absolutely exaggerated, even higher than the share from downloads!
"come on."
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "When that day comes, I can tell you something even more ruthless. The company has many aces, so the aces' contracts may not be that great, but Father Qu lives in another world."
Lin Yuan nodded.
While Lin Yuan was happily getting a new contract, Chen Zhiyu was having a fish feast with his agent. Suddenly, Chen Zhiyu opened his mouth wide, looking very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
The agent asked with concern.
Chen Zhiyu shouted: "Thorns! This fish has thorns!"
