My 1999

While Xu Liang was happily turning around, smoke filled the office of the chairman of SM Company.

Li Xiuman and Han Zhengying looked at the documents in their hands, with hesitation and a hint of anxiety on their faces.

"From the information found on the Internet, Hongmeng Company is indeed very powerful as the other party said.

The business covers East Asia and Southeast Asia. In particular, the other party just acquired their Asian business from the American company Excite last month and also reached a cooperation with SoftBank. "Han Zhengying said.

"So you mean to cooperate with the other party?"

Li Xiuman asked.

“This is currently the most beneficial option for us. Through the other party’s online channels, we can increase a large amount of revenue.

Even if it is not as much as the other party said, even if it is only half, 500 million won, it is still an important income for us. "

He thought very well. In fact, the only people who can pay for Korean songs are probably the South Korean market, and some Japanese and Wanwan markets.

Let alone 500 million won, it would be great to have 100 million won.

Li Xiuman nodded slightly and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that online channels will impact offline record sales."

"I'm worried too. But this is a general trend in the development of world music. Not to mention us, even the five major music giants cannot avoid it.

Looking at the development trend of Napster in the US music market like wildfire, MP3 music is destined to be the future. "

Lee Soo Man also knew that the general trend could not be changed.

Moreover, Hongmeng Music is better than Napster. It also gives a share of the original music payment, instead of blindly infringing and piracy.

"Then let's talk to Hongmeng Company again." Li Xiuman said.

After they compromised, Han Zhengying formally formed a negotiation team the next day and started negotiations with the negotiation team organized by Sun Mingzhen.

The addition or subtraction of every point can lead to huge differences.

After nearly a week of talks, the sharing agreement was finally finalized.

According to the sales volume of each single, it is divided into four levels: 100,000, 300,000, 500,000 and 1 million.

If the number of downloads does not exceed 100,000, 19% will be allocated to SM Company and 9% to Hongmeng Music.

If the number of downloads exceeds 100,000 and is less than 300,000, the share will be divided 28%, SM Company 2nd, and Hongmeng Music 80%.

If the number of downloads exceeds 300,000 and is less than 500,000, we will get a 30/70 split, with SM Company getting a 30% share and Hongmeng Music getting a 70% share.

If the number of downloads exceeds 500,000 and is less than 1 million, the company will be divided into 40 and 60, SM will be divided into 4 and Hongmeng Music will be divided into 6 and 6, respectively.

With more than 1 million downloads, it will be split 50-50, 50-50 between both parties.

After the two parties signed the agreement, SM Company also officially withdrew the lawsuit from the Gangnam District Court in Seoul.

With this agreement in hand, Son Mingzhen went to negotiate with music companies such as JYP and YG. With the precedent of SM Company, the subsequent signings were relatively smooth.

Because at this time, online sharing agreements are still new and not everyone understands them very well.

A limited number of websites still provide free piracy, so it is easy for Hongmeng Music to obtain exclusive network authorization.

"When will your sister arrive?"

Xu Liang was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand.

In order to entertain his sister-in-law, he planned to cook a sumptuous dinner himself.

"I just got on the subway when I made the call. It should be quick now."

Sun Mingzhen looked at the time and said.

"Okay, then I'll hurry up and fry the last few vegetables."

"Um."

After agreeing, Sun Mingzhen leaned at the door of the kitchen and looked at Xu Liang who was busy inside, with a happy smile on her face.

Except that he can't really get married, and he spends less time together and more separation, this man is almost a perfect husband.

Now she is very happy with her choice.

Not only has he made a leap forward in his career, he has also satisfied his own ideals.

Life also becomes rich.

If I have any regrets, it's that the man is too powerful and I can't stand it. From this perspective, it is a good thing to gather less and stay away more, and you will also have time to recover.

Ding dong….

There was a knock on the door.

Sun Mingzhen quickly turned on the video intercom.

Inside, a young and energetic beautiful girl was waving her hands.

"Unnie, is it me?"

Sun Mingzhen quickly went over and opened the door.

"Ernie."

The girl rushed over excitedly, hugged Sun Mingzhen, and laughed and jumped.

"Okay, okay, you are so old, but you are still so childish."

In fact, this is not the first time Sun Yanzhen has come here.

But when I came here before, Xu Liang was mostly not there.

After the excitement of meeting, Sun Yanzhen looked inside curiously.

"Unnie, where is my brother-in-law?"

"He heard that you were coming over and cooking in the kitchen."

"Wow, my brother-in-law has such a successful career, he can actually cook?"

"He is very good at cooking and the Chinese food he makes is very good. You will know after you try it."

"Then I want to have a good taste."

Sun Mingzhen smiled and touched her hair, took her hand and walked inside.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet him."

The girl followed with anticipation.

Come to the kitchen door.

The noise from the range hood was too loud, and the kitchen was far away from the entrance. Xu Liang didn't hear the two sisters talking. It was naturally different when they reached the door.

Turning his head, a beautiful and pure-looking young girl wearing a pink down jacket, tight-fitting jeans and snow boots came into view.

The appearance seemed familiar to him.

But I couldn't remember who it was.

"Oppa, this is my sister Yanzhen."

Sun Yanzhen quickly bowed and saluted.

"Hello, brother-in-law."

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Welcome to my house as a guest. If my hands are not clean, I won't shake hands with you."

"Brother-in-law, it's okay." Sun Yanzhen said politely.

"Mingzhen, take Yanzhen for a walk first. I have another dish that will be ready soon."

Sun Mingzhen nodded and brought her sister to the living room.

It didn't take long, and Xu Liang finished the last braised eggplant dish.

"time to eat."

The two sisters came to the restaurant and looked at the full table. Sun Yanzhen exclaimed.

“It’s so rich.”

"Try my handiwork."

Xu Liang handed over the chopsticks.

After saying 'thank you', Sun Yanzhen took a piece of beans and put it in her mouth.

"Brother-in-law, your skills are great, much better than Ernie's."

"Go, I won't be able to shut your mouth while eating." Sun Mingzhen said angrily.

Sun Yanzhen stuck out her tongue and buried her head in eating.

"By the way, Ernie, brother-in-law, I got the role."

Sun Yanzhen said happily.

"What character? A corpse? Or a mute?" Sun Mingzhen said sarcastically without mercy.

Sun Yanzhen had known for a long time that her sister was dissatisfied with her entry into the entertainment industry. She was used to being beaten often, so she was not angry.

"This time I have lines and I play a role in the new movie "Secret" directed by Park Ki Hyung. By the way, Ernie, I gave myself a stage name.

Zhang Yizhen.

Does Ernie think it sounds good? "

Xu Liangliang, who was eating, was shocked. He subconsciously looked up at the smiling girl on his right and suddenly understood.

"No wonder I felt familiar at first, but I didn't expect it was Son Ye-jin."

Now she is only eighteen years old, with a face that is so tender that it can be squeezed out of a first love, far less charming than the charming look she later had.

Looking at the two sisters fighting, I couldn't help but think.

"This world is really small."

Had dinner.

Xu Liang went back to the study to deal with work emails, while the two sisters cleared the dining table and washed the dishes.

After watching for a while, Xu Liang took out his cell phone and dialed.

It didn't take long to get through.

"President."

Fukunaga Hideo's voice came over.

"Has a comic website been developed?"

Hideo Fukunaga responded, "It has been tested several times and no bugs were found. It is ready to be launched into the market."

"very good."

"Contact Comics Impurity immediately and purchase their online copyright. It doesn't have to be a popular work, it can also be a second-tier one. Let's fill up our comic inventory first."

"yes."

"Also, Japan's comics industry is developed, and I believe there are many people who are unable to publish their comics. Our comics website has just been established, so it is destined to be unable to compete with the influence of magazines that have been established for many years.

So these marginalized people in the comics industry are the ones we are fighting for. "

"President, these people are not of high quality, so it is probably difficult for them to make hits."

“That’s what I say, but there are only a handful of people who become famous with one painting, and most of them gain fame after accumulating experience.

So don’t dislike those who are not good at drawing now. There may be the next Osamu Tezuka and Akira Toriyama hidden in them. "

"I see."

Xu Liang continued: “Anyone who likes comics and has a certain foundation can draw comics on our website.

Those who draw well can be recommended for display on our homepage.

Twenty or thirty chapters will be released after payment, and the author and us will share in proportion.

As for the specific amount of the free part, you can decide by your own research. "

After Hideo Fukunaga digested it, Xu Liang continued.

"Our website has a relatively small audience in the early stages, and the income of the comics author may not be too much after it is put on the shelves. You can discuss a basic protection plan with the people in the company.

For example, if you update for no less than 28 consecutive days every day, and the amount of updates is no less than 3 pages, or 5 pages, you can get a salary of 10,000 yen, or 20,000 yen.

As for the specific number of pages and the price, you can discuss it and make it according to the situation in Japan. "

Xu Liang's strategy is basically based on the strategies of domestic comic websites and novel websites.

However, after a detailed analysis of the specific situation, the general strategy is the same, but the specifics must be decided by Hideo Fukunaga and others who understand Japan's national conditions.

"President, I will have a meeting tomorrow to resolve this matter."

"Don't make decisions by beating your head. Find a few lower-level comics and do a questionnaire."

"clear."

"Also, after the website is officially launched, the "God of Death" painted by Xinmei will be launched and must be placed in the most conspicuous place on the website."

"yes."

Fukuda Shinmi's "Death" is very good, and he liked it anyway.

If done well, it might be able to bring a lot of traffic to the new comic website.

"Hi."

"How many members does Hongmeng Music Network have now?"

"There are currently 790,000 people."

"A little less."

"Most of the company's music sources are old songs, which makes it difficult to attract young people. In addition, it has only been launched for a short time and has not yet established trust among independent musicians, so the number of members is limited."

Xu Liang nodded slightly and asked, "How are the preparations for the offline Hongmeng Music Company?"

“Currently, four singers, two male and two female, have been signed, and the rights to adapt some popular Chinese songs have also been purchased and are currently being adapted.

It will be officially launched in another half month. "

Hongmeng Japanese offline music company mainly does the work of adapting popular songs.

Let’s test the waters first, and we won’t rule out entering the Japanese music market in the future.

“Although Hongmeng Music and Hongmeng Comics are very important, you must remember that ‘Bing’ is the focus of Hongmeng’s development, and most of the company’s resources must be placed on it.

If comics and music do well and Bing fails, it's a failure. "Xu Liang emphasized.

"clear."

After instructing Fukunaga Hideo, Xu Liangcai hung up the phone.

Then process the following emails.
