Chapter 90 Cooperation Intention Reached (Another Big Chapter)

Chapter 90 Cooperation Intention Reached (Another Big Chapter)

This is already quite a harsh condition, but what Du Caige didn't expect was that Jiang Youxi and Cheng Mingming said at the same time, "Yes!" "Deal!"

It's like being afraid of Du Caige's repentance.

Du Caige couldn't help but think carefully, is his condition too low?

impossible.

The share he wants is absolutely too high.

For the average songwriter, 3% of album sales is not bad. As for the big coffee-level songwriters, it is usually 5%-8%.

And he wants 1.5%, which is 15%.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but everyone in the circle knows that this is a scary figure. Even the top stars like Lin Xi and Fang Wenshan don't get this ratio every time.

After all, album production itself also requires cost, and then sales also need publicity, channel fees, and finally taxes, and the rest of the money is used by the record production company (artist agency), singers, songwriters and other music. Producers share together.

For example, Jiang Youxi's album was a big hit, and the final sales reached 100 million yuan.

This is an analogy, an analogy. Of course it's impossible to sell that much in practice.

Sales of 100 million require almost 10 million album sales, which is difficult to achieve even for the queen of singers.

Of the 100 million yuan in revenue, the company will take 80 million.

But it does not mean that the company has made as much as 80 million. In fact, it has to pay taxes, deduct production costs, and deduct publicity fees and marketing channel fees. The actual profit of the company is about 32 million.

This profit margin is very high, mainly because the album sells so well. If the album does not sell so well, the company may actually lose a small amount.

Then Du Caige, Jiang Youxi and other music producers shared the remaining 20 million.

Du Caige needs to share 15 million yuan. With Jiang Youxi's current contract level, he can get 2%, which is about 2 million yuan. The rest of the music producers, plus his manager Cheng Mingming, took a total of 3 million.

For such a big-selling album, Jiang Youxi, a singer, can only get 2 million points, which is also considered hard work. But this is also a common problem for rookie singers.

Don't think that 2 million is a lot.

If the sales of physical albums reach 100 million, that is, the number of album sales is close to 10 million, Jiang Youxi can get 2 million.

And how many albums can sell so well every year?

Not to mention every year. In all of history, how many albums have sold so well?

Let alone 10 million.

In addition to the current singer Peng Sizhang, Su Rui, Zhang Zhuowei, etc., ask those first- and second-tier singers whether they have the confidence to release new albums and sell 2 million copies?

Therefore, Du Caige's conditions are really harsh.

Let's talk about business.

If Jiang Youxi is promoted to the second-tier singer with this album.

After becoming famous, being invited to sing in variety shows, being invited to sing at parties, or being invited to the annual meeting of a big company, tail teeth, this is also the meaning of the title.

Then, you must sing the famous songs, which are the songs written by Du Caige.

Even if his appearance fee for a commercial performance is 300,000 yuan, 40 times a year, it is 12 million yuan.

With Jiang Youxi's current contract level, his business performance should be divided into 20% to 30%.

Let's say 30%.

So out of the 12 million, Jiang Youxi can get 3.6 million, while Du Caige will get 20% of the 3.6 million, which is 720,000.

Oh, more than that, there is also a minute-by-minute copyright fee of 1,000 yuan per minute.

In every commercial performance, Jiang Youxi sings the songs written by Du Caige, even if it takes 20 minutes.

40 times a year is 800 minutes.

800 minutes multiplied by 1,000 yuan,

That's 800,000.

Therefore, at the end of the year, Jiang Youxi worked hard to run 50 commercial performances (if someone invited him to do commercial performances), most of them were made by the company, and then Du Caige would suck blood.

He can only get 2.8 million (with tax deduction), Du Caige will take about 1.5 million (80+72), and the rest will be earned by the company and Cheng Mingming.

In the final analysis, if Jiang Youxi answers these harsh conditions, he is making money for Du Caige by singing hard.

Of course, things cannot be viewed in such isolation.

If he can't be famous, he has no commercial performance at all, and he can't get 2.8 million.

After becoming famous, although the sales of albums, the sales of ringtones and even commercial performances will all give Du Caige a large part.

But most of the money he received for the advertising endorsements fell into his own pockets.

If he is not famous, where is the advertising endorsement?

A singer needs to use high-quality songs to hit the charts and improve his popularity.

Use various commercial performances and variety shows to stabilize popularity.

Finally, rely on advertising endorsements to make a 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 is almost the same.

The same goes for those actors.

It is not too different from a singer to have a good movie to increase the popularity, a variety show to maintain popularity, and an advertisement to endorse a meal.

After figuring this out, Du Caige smiled slightly when he looked at Jiang Youxi and Cheng Mingming's eyes looking forward to hugging their thighs: "Then let's settle it like this in general. For the specific details, you can draft a contract. Just sign it."

He put forward such harsh conditions, not to lie on Xiao Jiang's body to 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, this process goes very fast. You have to write songs quickly!"

Du Caige said: "The song already exists."

Jiang Youxi had no doubts about him.

With Du Caige's creativity at his peak, he can write dozens of classic songs a year.

And count the time, from the photography scandal in September 2002 to now, the big coffee has been silent for 5 and a half years.

Jiang Youxi absolutely believes that he has accumulated some good songs in the past five and a half years.

"Then use tea instead of wine, I wish us a happy cooperation." Jiang Youxi toasted.

Du Caige and Cheng Mingming both raised their glasses and touched him.

"You are about to enter the state during this time, I am short of money to spend, so you have to quickly make an album to make money, you know?" Du Caige explained.

Having said that, Du Caige thought of the two guys who claimed to be Huayu Entertainment staff. They found themselves in the Mira bar and wanted to ask themselves to write a song for a singer named "Xiao Xie".

Maybe it's time to give them an answer.

Please contact them after the Qingming Festival.

Jiang Youxi patted her chest loudly: "I've been preparing, brother, watch it, I can start work when the contract is drawn up. Uh, then Sister Mingming, 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 deal was finalized, Du Caige sent a text message to Huo Yanying's mobile phone after a few chats.

"Godfather, is it convenient for me to bring two friends over to say hello and chat."

Reply arrived soon. "Come here."

Du Caige got up: "Little Jiang, I'll take you to greet some seniors."

Jiang Youxi didn't hesitate 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."

Pushing the door and entering, those few were still in their original postures, and they were all playing cards there with a very relaxed look.

Cheng Mingming and Jiang Youxi's eyes turned around a few people, and finally fell on the middle-aged Mediterranean man.

Cheng Mingming greeted first with a low attitude: "Hello, Mr. Huo! Hello, seniors!"

Then faced the middle-aged Mediterranean man: "Director Jin, hello! I'm Cheng Mingming, I don't know if you have any impressions."

The middle-aged man snorted softly and smiled: "Boss Cheng, you are joking, you are also a gold medal broker in the industry. Would you like to change jobs to Zitian? Everything is easy to say."

Cheng Mingming shook his head with a smile: "Thank you Director Jin for your appreciation, I am very happy in Huayu now."

Director Jin pointed at her with a smile, and then looked at Jiang Youxi, "I also have some impressions of this little guy. What's his name?"

Cheng Mingming hurriedly said, "His name is Jiang Youxi. He is a very talented and hardworking artist. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to ask Director Jin to take care of him and support him."

Jiang Youxi also smiled and bowed obediently to Director Jin: "Hello Director Jin! It's the first time we meet, please give me more advice."

Director Jin smiled: "Very energetic young man!"

While they were chatting over there, Mr. Huo asked Du Caige, "Are you going to visit the grave tomorrow?"

"It must be going."

Mr. Huo sighed a little: "remember to say hello to him for me. Say I won't go, so as not to be sad."

"I will, godfather." Du Caige said respectfully.

After a brief exchange of words, Mr. Huo seemed to have made a mistake, frowned, and suddenly mixed the cards on the table, "Stop playing, chat with the juniors."

The old man with goatee and braised egg immediately blew his beard and stared: "Your brand is not good, so you can play this game if you see that you are going to lose?"

Mr. Huo smiled: "I just learned from some people."

The two old children quarreled for a few words, and Guozilian and Director Jin both persuaded them, and it was difficult for them to stop.

Huo Yanying greeted a few juniors to sit down, and everyone chatted about music casually.

Cheng Mingming and Jiang Youxi are both very restrained, knowing their identities, they do not speak easily. Others are chatting with a group of bigwigs, and letting you sit in is already giving you face, and rashly interrupting is really shameless.

Du Caige is qualified to speak, but he really doesn't understand music.

Fortunately, everyone here seems to be able to accept his silence and become accustomed to it.

For some reason, the topic turned to the Cang Hai Laugh which he named "Sword of Proud Rivers and Lakes".
