Popular entertainment circle, you call this a little hobby

Chapter 4 Industry situation (seeking investment and collection)

"Wang Xuan, are you really willing to sing this song to me?" Lin Rui asked excitedly, still worried about gain and loss.

Because he knows what such a song means. If this epoch-making song is sung by him, it is certain that he will become the king of singers, and he may even rush to the upper echelon of kings of singers in one fell swoop.

"I originally wrote this song for Brother Rui. It's up to us whether we like it or not. Of course it's not free. Now we can talk about the price and cooperation methods." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"Wang Xuan, as long as you are willing to give up, the price can be whatever you want." Li Tao interjected. He also knew what the song "Dongfeng Po" meant. He also knew what a top singer meant to Tianyu Entertainment.

"It doesn't matter if you open it casually, just follow the market price." Wang Xuan said.

"Market Price" Li Tao is speechless. The question is: Where does such an epoch-making song get the market price? If this kind of song can appear easily, can it be called epoch-making? Therefore, Wang Xuan's words made Li Tao a little embarrassed.

In fact, it is still a matter of reputation. If "Dongfeng Po" was written by a top composer, Li Tao would not hesitate to pay a sky-high price, because top composers can generate a popularity bonus for the song.

But Wang Xuan is a newcomer in the world of composing, and the popularity bonus can be ignored, but you cannot treat Wang Xuan as a newcomer. If he can write an epoch-making song like "Dongfeng Po", you can treat him as a newcomer.

Is that so? I know what I'm talking about. Before I wrote the song, I knew that "Dongfeng Po" would help Lin Rui securely ascend to the throne of the singing king.

"Wang Xuan, there are two ways for songs to be sold in the market now. One is the full copyright buyout model, and the other is the split model. There are two types of splits, one is a guaranteed split, and the other is a pure split. Which one do you want?

?" Li Tao asked after thinking for a while.

"What's the price for buying out the full copyright? What's the way to share the rights? Brother Tao, you haven't made it clear how you want me to choose?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Okay, I'm sorry I didn't explain it clearly. The full copyright is bought out. After the buyout, the songwriter only has the right to sign, and other copyrights belong to the buyer's company, so the price is generally higher. A while ago, the top songwriter Li Gang gave all the copyrights to the king of singers Chen Hao

A song "White Moonlight" costs 6 million before tax. If you choose to buy out the full copyright of "Dongfeng Po", how about I also offer you a price of 6 million before tax?" Li Tao said.

Wang Xuan nodded secretly when he heard this.

Before coming to Tianyu Entertainment, he had learned about the situation of composers in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, for a newcomer in the composing industry, one song can cost between a few thousand and 100,000 yuan; for a slightly famous songwriter, one song can cost between 100,000 and 300,000 yuan; for a senior songwriter, one song can cost between 300,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan.

to 600,000; for a higher-level ace songwriter, the price of a song is between 600,000 and 1 million. Above the ace songwriters, there are gold medal songwriters, and the price of a song is between 1 million and 500.

No matter what.

Finally, there are the top songwriters, who are called "music dads" in the industry. For this type of songwriters, a song costs at least 5 million, and they are often expensive but not marketable. Because when a songwriter reaches the position of "music dad", ordinary

Songs have long been out of his sight, and he will not ruin his reputation. The music he produces must be of the highest quality.

6 million before tax, this is the price that only top songwriters can get. Considering that he is still a newcomer, the price offered by Li Tao is quite fair and he is very sincere.

"What about the share?" Wang Xuan asked.

"The sharing is divided into a guaranteed share and a pure share. If it is the song "Dongfeng Po", I can give you a guaranteed share of 2 million + a 5% share of the net income generated after the album is released. The pure share is 8% of the net income generated after the album is released.

%. There are two sharing models. The copyright of lyrics and music also belongs to the company, and the author only has the right to sign. It depends on how you choose." Li Tao said.

Wang Xuan thought about it in his mind after hearing this.

The guaranteed share requires a net income of 8000W to receive 600W. The net income is 8000W. If operating expenses and platform expenses are added, the actual sales must at least double, let’s count it as 160 million.

The current digital album market in China is about 10 yuan each, which is equivalent to selling 16 million digital albums to receive 6 million.

Of course, the actual situation is better. Because Lin Rui wants to prove to be the king of Taoist singers, he can't just take the digital album route. The physical album must be online, and the sales must be good. At least it must be a platinum album, let's count it as 1 million copies.

The current market price of physical albums in China is about 60 yuan each. This is equivalent to 60 million physical albums sold.

Calculated in this way, if it is a guaranteed share, the digital album must sell 1,000,000 copies before Wang Xuan can receive 6 million. Using a similar algorithm, if it is a pure share, the digital album must sell 9 million copies before Wang Xuan can receive 6 million.

Is it difficult to produce 10 million copies? It is still difficult. But Wang Xuan has confidence in the song "East Wind Breaks". The sales of digital albums of some awesome people on the earth are tens of millions or even over 100 million. So what about Wang Xuan?

Maybe you don’t have confidence in “Dongfeng Po”? What’s more, there is also a song called “Half City of Smoke and Sand” that has a movie bonus.

After making the calculation, what Wang Xuan most wanted to choose was pure profit sharing. Considering his current situation of "cleaner pockets than face", Wang Xuan finally chose a guaranteed profit sharing.

"In the same way, "Half City of Smoke and Sand" can also give you two options, buy out the full copyright for 2 million, and guarantee a share of 50,000 + 1%, which is equivalent to the two songs "Dongfeng Break" and "Half of City of Smoke and Sand"

Choose a guaranteed share for each song, and you can get a guaranteed share of 250W + 6% share of the net income after the album is released." Li Tao said.

"Both choose a guaranteed share. But I have a condition. All the copyrights of these two songs can be given to Tianyu, but I retain the performance rights of the songs. It is impossible that I don't even have the right to sing the songs I created. Of course,

For my own use only." Wang Xuan said.

"Okay." Li Tao nodded.

"Also, if I have new songs to record in the future, I hope to be able to borrow Tianyu's recording studio and musician team. Of course, it is not free. I can pay the rent and the musicians' remuneration. In exchange, if there are suitable songs in the future,

Under the same conditions, I can give priority to Tianyu." Wang Xuan proposed another purpose.

"That's no problem. I actually have a better suggestion. Wang Xuan, come to our Tianyu Music Department. With your composing talent, it would be a pity not to come to our music department." Li Tao suggested.

"Thank you Brother Tao for your kindness, but I have no intention of developing further in the composing world. If I have the opportunity, I will debut as a singer." Wang Xuan declined.

"Then I suggest you come to our music department. First of all, signing a songwriter contract with us will not affect your debut, and it may even be more convenient for you to debut. Let's put it this way, do you think it is easier to debut as an amateur or as a top songwriter?

Is it easy to debut with an identity?" Li Tao asked again.

"Of course it's easy as a top songwriter." Wang Xuan said.

"That's alright, come to our music department, you can get a lot of orders that you can't get outside, and quickly accumulate fame. Sign a songwriter contract first, and then sign an artist contract when you want to make a debut," Li Tao said.

"Forget it, I'm not used to working from nine to five every day." Wang Xuan shook his head.

"Wang Xuan, there is no need to worry about you. Working a nine-to-five job is the treatment of a low-level songwriter. If you are willing to join Tianyu, you will get the contract of an ace songwriter at the very least. This is because you have few songs for the time being. As long as

If you write three more songs of the quality of "Half City of Smoke and Sand", I can help you apply for a gold medal songwriter contract. If you can write three more songs of the level of "Dongfeng Po", I can help you

Applying for a contract with a top songwriter is not a problem at all. Composers above the ace level do not need to work, they only need to complete a certain amount of tasks every year, and no one cares what you do at other times. Don’t doubt it, our company is above the ace level

"Composers who are famous for their work are always seen without seeing their beginnings or tails. Don't ask, just go out and collect music for inspiration." Li Tao explained.

"Sounds good. If I sign a songwriter contract, what will happen to the copyright of the songs I create?" Wang Xuan asked.

"According to the provisions of the "Copyright", the copyright of the work for work is enjoyed by the author, but the company has the right to priority use within the scope of its business. In other words, the copyright of the work belongs to you, but the company has the right to priority use within the scope of the business. Therefore,

The income generated will be divided according to the proportion agreed upon when the contract was signed." Li Tao explained.

"What about the share ratio?"

"Ace songwriters are tasked with writing twelve songs that can be ranked in the top 100 of the best-selling list every year. The salary is 50,000 monthly salary + 5% of the income after the songs they create are released online. Gold medal songwriters, every year

The task is to create 3 songs that are in the top 30 of the best-selling charts and 7 songs that are in the top 50 of the best-selling charts. The salary is 100,000 monthly salary + 10% of the revenue generated after the songs created are released online."

"Understood. But I need to think about it seriously. Let's sign the contracts for "Half City Yansha" and "Dongfeng Po" first." Having said that, Wang Xuan was actually moved. He was considering whether to sign a contract with the company yesterday.

After one night, the answer is yes.

The contract for this book is about to be completed. Please seek investment before the contract is completed. Hurry.
