Popular entertainment circle, you call this a little hobby

Chapter 17 This is "The World"

With a minimum guarantee of 6 million, plus 30% of the income, this condition is really high, and Wang Xuan cannot refuse it.

Generally speaking, the music platform deducts 30% of the revenue generated from a song being uploaded to a music platform, and 70% goes to the copyright company, that is, the record owner. After the record owner gets the share, they will then distribute the profits, and the songwriter and singer will allocate two of them.

Cheng, the company exclusively holds 50%.

Of course, the actual benefits that the company can receive are far less than that, because from this 50%, the company's operating costs and labor costs have to be deducted, at least about 20%. In other words, if a song is released online,

The company can receive approximately 30% of its net income.

Wang Xuan signed a gold medal songwriter contract. According to the original agreement, his song share was only 10%. Now the company directly increases it to 30%, which is equivalent to the company itself only receiving 10% of the income. This is nothing like working for Wang Xuan for free.

The difference. Not to mention that there is a guarantee of 6 million. Note that in normal times, 6 million can be used to invite some top songwriters to sing.

But there is no way, after this incident, Tianyu Entertainment can only make a choice. Because compared to the box office revenue of "Half City Yansha", the profit sharing of a song is really nothing. If you delay for one day, you will lose six to seven thousand

A box office of 10,000 yuan.

Can't afford to be hurt!

Wang Xuan went to write songs.

On the other side, in the Tianyu Entertainment Music Department, when Chen Kai called Wang Xuan, Li Tao was beside him. In addition, Tianyu Entertainment director Zhu Xu was also there.

Seeing Chen Kai hang up the phone, Li Tao couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Brother Xuan, does he have a suitable theme song?"

"Looking at Lao Chen's expression, he shouldn't have it. Also, time is too tight. So many top composers can't compose it. It's normal that Wang Xuan doesn't have it. After all, inspiration doesn't just come." Zhu Xu added.

.

Chen Kai's expression was a little confused: "He said wait and asked me to check my mailbox. Does that mean?"

"Ah? That's for sure!" Zhu Xu was overjoyed, "Old Chen, hurry up and log in to your email on the computer. I'll be sitting here waiting today."

"Okay." Chen Kai nodded and loaded up the mailbox.

Then, the three top bosses of Tianyu Entertainment did nothing. They just sat by the computer and refreshed their mailboxes every five minutes for fear of missing Wang Xuan's email.

Without him, the movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" is too important to Tianyu Entertainment.

If not for an accident, the final box office of "Half City of Smoke and Sand" would be at least 1.5 billion. And since the producer and distributor are themselves, according to the sharing agreement signed between their company and the theaters, they can share 43 of the box office.

%

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, they will receive at least 645 million in box office share from the movie "Half City in Smoke and Sand". The production cost of "Half City in Smoke and Sand" is about 80 million, and the operating cost and labor cost are 50 million.

about.

Equivalently, the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand" can bring a net profit of about 500 million to Tianyu Entertainment.

500 million! How many 500 million is the entire Tianyu Entertainment worth?

Now one movie can bring them a net profit of 500 million, is it not important?

Ming people don't tell secrets, if "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" cannot be saved in the end, Liu Yang will definitely end up miserable. Not to mention losing his entire family, he will probably have to go to jail.

After the three people refreshed tirelessly, Wang Xuan's new email finally arrived an hour later.

Zhu Xu couldn't wait to open it. The three of them took a closer look and were stunned for a moment. Because the title of the song Wang Xuan sent was also called "The World".

But Liu Yang's song "The World" was composed by the gold medal composer Yue Ye. Although Yue Ye is only a gold medal composer, in fact, this person has already become a top songwriter and is a well-known figure among gold medal composers. Because of this

, Yue Ye’s song “The World” is of very high quality, can Wang Xuan’s song “The World” be as good as the original one? There was a question mark in the minds of the three of them at the same time.

To be honest, when Liu Yang's accident happened, Chen Kai immediately approached Yue Ye and wanted to ask Yue Ye to authorize someone else to sing "The World" because this was the easiest way to solve the problem. However, Yue Ye disagreed.

In Yue Ye's words, he had exclusively authorized Liu Yang to sing the song "The World", and it would be impossible for him to sing it to others within five years. As a result, what was originally a simple problem became complicated, and Chen Kai had no choice but to find another way.

Call for other theme songs.

With doubts, the three of them began to look at the lyrics of "The World".

【Looking for love in the flames of war like waves on the sand

Meeting her is like spring water reflecting pear blossoms

Swing the sword to cut off the lovesickness at the end of the world and put it down gently

In my dream, I care about you so much]

"Hey, it looks good." After reading the first paragraph, the three of them's eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to read on.

【Regardless of generals, ministers, princes

Regardless of the eternity

Just ask for love to resolve it

This endless world of chaos will never end

Love is more, love lasts forever

Be more gentle like water

Who cares who rules the Spring and Autumn Period】

If the first paragraph was just good, then the second paragraph made the three of them extremely excited. What is the most popular line in the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand" is what the protagonist Liang Xiao said when bidding farewell to his wife:

It is not my intention to be generals, ministers, princes, who is in charge of ups and downs, what does it have to do with me? How can the picturesque mountains and rivers compare to your smiling face like flowers? I only hope that this worldly chaos will end as soon as possible. When I am unarmed and return to the fields, I can talk to you about mulberry and hemp forever.

Doesn’t this second verse of lyrics describe Liang Xiao’s state of mind?

【If you have love in your life, why fear the wind and flying sand?

Sad gray hair cannot retain youth

Throw away the picturesque scenery in exchange for her smiling face

Overcoming this worry of life and space

If you have no resentment in your heart, love and hate will follow him

The road of great love in heaven and earth has no end

Just for her, I have everything in the world]

The next climax echoes that line again, "How can a picturesque country be worth your smiling face" and "Throw away the picturesque country in exchange for her smiling face", don't they mean the same thing?

"If there is no resentment in the heart, love and hate will follow him, the road of love will never end, just for her." This sentence is very good, and it shows Liang Xiao's mentality before going to the battlefield very well.

Why did Liang Xiao join the army? To protect his family and the country? To make achievements? No, no, no! Just like what Liang Xiao said in his line, "It is not my original intention to be a general, prime minister or prince. Whoever decides the ups and downs has nothing to do with me."

Liang Xiao joined the army with only one purpose from beginning to end, which was to better protect his wife.

He knew that he was alone and could not protect his wife in these troubled times, so he joined the army and wanted to end the troubled times. He only fought for the world for her. So when the world was peaceful, he resolutely gave up the world at his fingertips and returned to his wife.

He and his wife lived a life of seclusion in the mountains and forests.

"It's great, these lyrics are really great. This is "The World", it's him." Chen Kai was originally a very calm person, but now he was so excited that he jumped up.

"Brother Xuan is awesome, one movie actually has two tailor-made songs! Now I suddenly feel that Liu Yang's appearance is not a bad thing, otherwise how would we know that Brother Xuan can actually make such a song "

"World"." Li Tao praised.

"The critical time is so short. It only took an hour from the time Lao Chen called to Wang Xuan to send the song. It takes only one hour to tailor-make a song of this level. Wang Xuan's talent in lyrics and music is so impressive.

People are amazed, but fortunately they signed with Tianyu Entertainment." Zhu Xu sighed with emotion.

"By the way, how about the song?" Zhu Xu asked.

"I've seen it, and the song is definitely a masterpiece. What's rare is that Wang Xuan has already done the arrangement part, and there are notes on the score. Just bring the musicians and singers over and it can be recorded." As the head of the music department,

Although Li Tao's songwriting ability is average, his appreciation ability is still there.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Lin Rui and the musicians over to record the song." Chen Kai said.

"Wait a minute, does Wang Xuan have any requirements for the singer of the song?" Zhu Xu asked.

"What do you think, Brother Xu?" Li Tao asked.

"I think this way, Lin Rui already has "East Wind Breaks" and "Half City of Smoke and Sand", and his position as the king of singers is already stable. If Wang Xuan has no requirements for the singer of the song, I don't plan to let Lin Rui have this song.

Rui Sing, after all, our Tianyu Entertainment cannot only have one singer Lin Rui, the singers below also need to be trained." Zhu Xu said what was in his heart.

"Who does Brother Xu want to sing for? How about Xu Yang?" Li Tao asked again.

"Heroes think alike, and my favorite candidate is also Xu Yang, a third-tier singer with a good image and ability, and great potential. If this song is sung to Xu Yang, it will probably help him become a second-tier singer," Zhu Xu posted.

Got the view.

"Then Xu Yang, Lao Chen, please call Wang Xuan and ask if he has any opinions." Li Tao said.

"Wait a minute, Lao Chen, don't ask Wang Xuan if he has any objections. Just tell him directly that if he agrees to sing this song for Xu Yang, the company can give him an additional 10% in terms of profit sharing. The extra 10%,

It will be deducted directly from Xu Yang's share." Zhu Xu said.

"Would Xu Yang be unwilling?" Chen Kai interrupted.

"No. In front of such a good song, he is willing to pay back his share, not to mention just deducting his share. After all, compared to the popularity bonus that a good song brings to him, what is this 10% profit?"

Li Tao explained.

"Understood." Chen Kai nodded and dialed Wang Xuan's phone number.

"Brother Kai, have you received the song?" Wang Xuan spoke first.

"I received it. I am very satisfied with this song. Wang Xuan, you have helped me a lot. By the way, the director wanted to sing this song to Xu Yang. As compensation, I can give you more in terms of profit sharing.

Plus 10%, that is to say, after this song is released, you can receive 40% of the income, but I don’t know if you are willing?" Chen Kai said.

"I have no objection." Wang Xuan said.

In fact, he would rather sing by himself, but if he sings by himself, it means that he has to go back to the company now. Considering that he only went back home once a year and a half, and left within five days, it seemed a bit sorry for his family. Think about it, it’s okay

Already.

As far as Wang Xuan is concerned, if he doesn't sing it himself, then it doesn't matter who he sings it to. After all, with the bonus of the movie, as long as the singer sings well, the performance of this song "The World" won't be much different.

The company giving him 10% more income was an unexpected surprise, so Wang Xuan would naturally not have any objections.

With a 40% commission and a minimum guarantee of 6 million, Wang Xuan estimates that it will not be a problem for him to earn 30 million from the song "The World". His small goal of a sea view room is close!
