"Yu Yu, my name is Yu Yu, my surname is Surplus Yu, and my name is Fish Swimming in Water."
Using excess to describe herself, this girl should be a person with a story.
"It's a good name," Du Caige said, "Okay, I remembered it, what did you call for?"
"Did I bother you? Sorry!"
"Don't rush to apologize, just say something."
Yu Yu's already small voice became even smaller: "I, I just thought, Uncle Du is wrong, Brother Du, are you Teacher Lin Ke?"
Du Caige raised his eyebrows, "Why do you guess so?"
The other party said: "I just read the news on the Internet, so I realized that it was Mr. Duan that night, and then I thought, you can write such a good song, and you have such a good relationship with Mr. Duan. I guess you are Teacher Lin Ke."
Du Caige was noncommittal, neither admitting nor denying: "Don't worry about who I am. What do you want?"
"I" was silent for a long time before the girl mustered up her courage, "I want to learn from you, I like music very much, I like music very much! For music, I can suffer any hardship! Please guide me, Teacher Lin Ke!"
Du Caige was not too surprised.
But it is impossible to agree immediately.
He smiled: "I don't know much about music. But you have my number, and you can contact me when you are free. If you need help, you can ask. If you are looking for a teacher, I'm sorry, I Not the right person."
"Ming, I got it, Teacher Lin Ke!" Yu Yu was still very nervous, "Yes, I'm sorry to bother you! I wrote a few songs myself, I don't know if I have a chance to ask for your advice!"
Du Caige thought for a while, "Let's talk about it in a few days, I will contact you."
After hanging up the phone, Du Caige stood for a while.
This Yu Yu gave him a fairly deep impression, and the impression was not bad.
But he really doesn't understand music, this cannot be forced.
If I retrieve the memory of the original owner, I can recommend a teacher to her.
But now there is nothing to help.
Back at the table, Du Caige smiled and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Brother Du," Jiang Youxi complained, "I'm having a hard time now, and the company doesn't have any resources for me. I really want to sing, but I can't find a good musician to write songs for me. My level is too low. "
He compared "very small" with his fingers, "I'm just a small shrimp in the entertainment industry. Brother Du, help me, write me two songs!"
Du Caige laughed and said, "You're not being polite to me."
Jiang Youxi immediately beamed with joy, and hit the snake with the stick: "Why am I being polite to you, you are my brother. Brother, write me two songs! We are different in what you sang that day. It's good."
"That song doesn't suit you," Du Caige leaned back on the chair and said relaxedly, "I have a song that suits you."
Jiang Youxi immediately bowed and bowed: "Brother, give it to me, give it to me!"
Du Caige smiled and looked at Cheng Mingming, "You are his manager, if I write songs for him, what conditions can you give me?"
Cheng Mingming smiled and said: "Of course, you can choose whatever conditions you want. It is our dream to cooperate with you. How dare we ask for conditions."
Du Caige shook his head and said with a smile: "My conditions are very harsh, I'm afraid your company will not agree."
"I will agree, no matter what the conditions are, I guarantee that the company will pass." Cheng Mingming was decisive, his voice full of confidence.
Du Caige pouted, noncommittal, "How much money can your company give him? Production, publicity, is it enough to make an album?"
Cheng Mingming obviously had a draft in mind, so he said without hesitation: "The reward for you, I think what you ask for is mainly the sales share, and you won't agree to buy it out. So, in terms of production costs, I believe I can handle it a little bit." As for the publicity, I also have thoughts, after all, this is your comeback after four years, this is a big gimmick, and it can save us a lot of publicity expenses."
Du Caige smiled and shook his head: "Maybe I'm a bit famous in the industry, but to consumers, am I a ball?"
Embarrassment flashed across Cheng Mingming's face, but she still maintained a sonorous tone and tried her best to show confidence: "Leave the work in this area to me, and I will arrange it."
In fact, she was also apprehensive. Although the name "Lin Ke" has great influence, it is more of a "notoriety" now.
If Du Caige is really allowed to write a song for Jiang Youxi under the name "Lin Ke", it may not be a good thing for Xiao Jiang.
Du Caige didn't ask any further questions.
He leaned forward slightly, and tapped the table with his fingers: "I can give Xiao Jiang 5 songs, half an album. I exclusively authorize Xiao Jiang to sing, and promise not to authorize others to sing within 10 years. The entity of the song I want 1% for album sales, 2% for digital edition sales, 3% for CRBT sales, and KTV authorization. Even if you can’t make any money, I still want 3%. 5 songs, first of all, in accordance with the highest standard of the Dahuaguo Music Copyright Association, I will be paid 1 yuan for every minute of performance. Then every time I do a commercial performance, after your company takes a cut, I will take a cut from your remaining income 1000%."
Chapter 90 Cooperation Intention Reached (Another Big Chapter)
This is already a very harsh condition, but what Du Caige did not expect was that Jiang Youxi and Cheng Mingming said almost at the same time: "Yes!" "Deal!"
It was as if he was afraid that Du Caige would go back on his word.
Du Caige couldn't help but think about it carefully. Could it be that his offer is too low?
impossible.
The percentage he wants is absolutely insanely high.
For an average songwriter, it is not bad to be able to score 3 in album sales.As for big-name songwriters, they are usually 58.
And he wants 1 and a half, which is 15.
It doesn't seem like much, but everyone in the circle knows that this is a scary number. Even the top players like Lin Xi and Fang Shan don't get this ratio every time.
After all, album production itself also requires costs, and then sales also require publicity, channel fees, and finally taxes, and the rest of the money is spent by record production companies, artist agencies, singers, songwriters, and other music producers. Divide together.
For example, Jiang Youxi's album can be sold very well, and the final sales reached 1 million yuan.
This is an analogy, an analogy.In fact, of course, it is impossible to sell so many.
1 million in sales requires nearly 1000 million album sales, which is difficult even for the king of singers and the queen of songs.
Of the 1 million yuan in revenue, the company will take 8000 million yuan.
But it doesn't mean that the company has earned as much as 8000 million yuan. In fact, it has to pay taxes, deduct production costs, deduct publicity fees and marketing channel fees, and the company's actual profit is about 3200 million yuan.
This profit margin is very high, mainly because the album sells well. If the album does not sell so well, the company may actually suffer a small loss.
Then Du Caige, Jiang Youxi and other music producers shared the remaining 2000 million.
Du Caige will be divided into 1500 million. With Jiang Youxi's current contract level, he can be divided into 2, which is about 200 million.The rest of the music producers, plus his manager Cheng Mingming, received a total of 300 million.
For such a big-selling album, the singer Jiang Youxi can only get 200 million yuan, which is considered hard work.But this is also a common problem of rookie singers.
Don't think that 200 million is a lot.
Only when the sales of the physical album reaches 1 million, that is, the number of album sales is close to 1000 million, Jiang Youxi can only get 200 million.
And how many albums can sell so much every year?
Let alone every year.In the entire history, how many albums can sell so well?
Let alone 1000 million copies.
In addition to the current singer Peng Sizhang, Su Rui, Zhang Zhuowei, etc., ask those first- and second-tier singers if they have the confidence to release a new album with a sales volume of 200 million copies?
Therefore, Du Caige's conditions are really harsh.
Let's talk about business performances.
If Jiang Youxi is promoted to a second-tier singer with this album.
After becoming famous, being invited to sing on variety shows, to be invited to sing at parties, or to be invited to the annual meeting and end of the year of a big company, this is also what the title should mean.
Then, you must sing famous songs, that is, these songs written by Du Caige.
Even if his appearance fee for one commercial performance is 30, and 40 times a year, it will be 1200 million.
With Jiang Youxi's current contract level, his share of commercial performance should be 2% to 3%.
Even if it is 3%.
So out of the 1200 million, Jiang Youxi can get 360 million, while Du Caige wants to get 360 of the 20 million, which is 72.
Oh, more than that, there is also a copyright fee charged by the minute, 1000 yuan per minute.
For every commercial performance, Jiang Youxi sang the song written by Du Caige, even if it took 20 minutes.
40 times a year is 800 minutes.
800 minutes multiplied by 1000 yuan, this is 80 yuan.
Therefore, throughout the year, Jiang Youxi has worked so hard to run 50 commercial performances. If someone invites him to perform commercials, the company will make a lot of money, and then Du Caige will suck blood.
He himself can only get 280 million and deduct taxes, Du Caige has to share about 1508072, and the rest is earned by the company and Cheng Mingming.
In the final analysis, if Jiang Youxi answered the harsh conditions, and he worked hard to sing, he was making money for Du Caige.
Of course, things cannot be seen in such isolation.
If he can't be famous, he won't have commercial performances at all, and he won't be able to get 280 million.
After becoming famous, although the sales of the album, the sales of ring tones and even commercial performances will all be given a large part to Du Caige.
But most of the money for the endorsements he accepted fell into his own pocket.
If he is not famous, where can he get the advertising endorsement?
A singer must use high-quality songs to hit the charts and improve his status.
Use various commercial performances and variety shows to stabilize popularity.
Finally, rely on advertising endorsements to justify the meal.
As for whether the song itself makes money or not, that doesn't matter.
Du Caige thought about it, and probably understood.
In fact, on Earth, it's pretty much the same.
The same goes for the actors.
You need good movies to increase your celebrity status, variety shows to maintain your popularity, and accepting commercial endorsements just to eat, which is not much different from a singer.
After figuring this out, looking at Jiang Youxi and Cheng Mingming's expectant eyes, Du Caige smiled slightly: "Then let's settle it like this in general. For the specific details, you go to draw up a contract. If I think it's okay, Just sign it."
He put forward such harsh conditions, not to lie on Xiao Jiang's body and suck blood.These 5 songs are just a test.
If the cooperation is happy, he will naturally give Xiao Jiang more good songs in the future and give more relaxed conditions to truly achieve a win-win situation.
I wonder if Xiao Jiang can stand the test?
Jiang Youxi said carelessly: "Brother, don't worry, the process will go very quickly. You have to write songs soon!"
Du Caige said: "The song already exists."
Jiang Youxi did not doubt him.
With the creativity shown by Du Caige at his peak, he can write dozens of classic songs a year.
And counting the time, from the photography scandal in September 2002 to the present, this big coffee has been silent for 9 and a half years.
Jiang Youxi absolutely believes that he has accumulated some good songs in the past 5 and a half years.
"Then replace wine with tea, and wish us a happy cooperation." Jiang Youxi raised his glass.
Du Caige and Cheng Mingming raised their glasses and touched him.
"You're going to be in the mood for a while, I'm short of money, so you have to hurry up and make an album to make money, you know?" Du Caige confessed.
Speaking of this, Du Caige thought of those two guys who claimed to be Huayu entertainment staff, found him in the Mira bar, and wanted to ask him to write a song for a singer named "Xiao Xie".
Maybe it's time to give the other party an answer.
Contact them after Ching Ming Festival.
Jiang Youxi slapped her chest loudly: "I've been preparing, bro, watch it, I can start work after the contract is drawn up. Uh, and then Mingming sister, the company will trouble you."
A faint smile appeared on Cheng Mingming's lips: "You don't have to worry about me here."
After the big event was finalized, Du Caige sent a text message to Huo Yanying's cell phone after chatting a few words.
"Godfather, is it convenient for me to bring two friends over to say hello and have a chat?"
A reply will arrive shortly. "Get over here."
Du Caige stood up: "Xiao Jiang, I'll take you to greet the seniors."
Jiang Youxi didn't hold back, and said with a smile: "You are really my brother!"
Du Caige led them to the box and knocked on the door.
"Is it Xiao Du? Come in."
Push the door open and go in. Those people are still in the original posture, playing cards in a very relaxed manner.
