Chapter 76 Contract

The small dinner was not very long. It broke up at one o'clock in the morning. During this period, I was happy, but there was one thing that made Chen Jin a little embarrassed. That is, when he was led by the senior management of Wireless to meet those rich celebrities, several rich ladies seemed to be a little coveted of him.

The rich lady's husband and male stars are known all over the world, which is not rare. Even the battles at the major award ceremonies are not only the disputes of record companies, but also the fights of the big figures behind some singers. Therefore, there are few ugly men at the award ceremony. Even if there are, they can't get the most dazzling awards. Too It's too difficult.

Records are like this, and so are movies. Anyway, the dark side is a little shocking, but that's not a matter in the entertainment industry. Chen Jin doesn't want to pay attention to it, and naturally he doesn't want to involve himself in it.

That's all. Unexpectedly, some men looked at him with that kind of color, which made him very cold. Fortunately, he didn't have much time. After a little greeting, he left immediately.

He has another doubt, that is, he is so excellent that someone should have been thinking about it for a long time, but today after the end of the game, there is nothing to do with each other. In this regard, he can only think that Chen Zichen has contributed a lot in it, or, hey hey, the woman herself is the first to get close to the water and take the lead.

The excitement that should have been almost consumed in the dinner party. After the dinner party, when I returned to the hotel, although there were almost no rules and restrictions, Lian Junying and others did not plan to party all night. They just went back to sleep after a little chat. Maybe it's because I exhausted my energy during the game, or maybe there are things to prepare for signing the contract immediately. That's a major event in life, and everyone still needs to refresh their energy.

After 9:00 a.m. the next morning, Lian Junying and the other five of them said goodbye to Chen Jin for the time being. Everyone was still young. When they encountered big things, the first thing they had to find was their own family members, friends and relevant acquaintances who were familiar with the industry. Only Chen Jin seemed to be unable to go anywhere. Although the wireless has lifted the ban on him, the Hong Kong government and the police However, it is a limited order.

When Lian Junying left for the last time, Tang Baoru also went downstairs first and took his hand. Although he only left for a short time, he seemed to be a little reluctant. He said softly, "I haven't been home for a long time. I may have to stay at home tonight. Be careful by yourself. Don't worry about signing the contract. Ask Fang first. Sister and others, and then I'll discuss it when I come back..."

This girl is still so innocent. Chen Jin didn't want her to worry. She deliberately smiled easily, "Don't worry, Sister Fang has promised to help me, but you should pay attention to your father more attention to it. Otherwise, not to mention making less money, it's mainly because it's too tired. It's better not to let others do it like a slave. Find another job to do. Anyway, your family doesn't lack you to make money. If you want to release records and sing, when I have the strength in the future, I will pay you to record it.

"Well, I know!" Lian Junying's heart was sweet. She reluctantly pulled out her white and delicate hands from Chen Jin's warm and generous hands. She waved her hand and slowly turned around and left. "I will definitely come back tomorrow. Pay more attention to yourself."

When the five of them left, Chen Jin was not in a hurry to go out. He had to think about what to do next, how to contact them, and talk about the record contract.

The most important clause in the record contract is naturally the singer's remuneration, which generally has two forms: guaranteed royalties plus share, full buyout (others such as song usage fees, etc. are not included. Here is the most simple record release income of the singer.)

Guaranteed royalties plus shares, that is, the singers of the guaranteed royalties and the singers in the royalties income.

The singer's royalties are partly divided into the singer's royalties that should be paid proportionally from the record company's royalties for the release of the singer's album. The royalties paid by the issuing company shall be determined by the issuing company. The singer's share of the royalty income is the singer's royalties paid in proportion to the income obtained by the issuing company's release the singer's album more than the guaranteed number (the royalties income refers to the actual income from the record selling the singer's album at a wholesale price).

This form is also good and bad. Generally speaking, newcomers or singers who are not very popular can only get the lowest guaranteed royalty plus share. No matter how much they sell, it is the proportion. Of course, this share ratio is also high and bottom.

If it is popular, it will be different. We can often hear some popular singers in the entertainment news say in interviews that if the extra part of his album is sold, the company also promised to give him the dividend of how much money each album will be. This is the time to reflect your value.

Of course, there are also those super-red emperor superstars, especially those whose album sales are very guaranteed. They are likely to sign the second full buyout contract, that is, the big brand we often hear has signed with a certain record company, such as five records in five years, with a total amount of 100 million yuan, etc.

This is a full buyout. The singer is only responsible for a series of activities such as recording and releasing records of the record company. As for the good and poor sales, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he just takes so much money (in other words, what a singer really makes money is not the release of films, but the appearance fees of various commercial performances and the income of concerts. Advertising revenue, etc., even if you sell a five platinum or ten platinum records, it is not as good as you take a few commercial performances and hold a few full concerts, and it is not easy to sell five platinum and ten platinum. Let's stop for the time being. We only talk about the things in the record contract.)

There is also a full buyout without a specified time, that is, there are other conditions that the singers in the record contract care about. If the time is specified, the record may be in a hurry, especially the more popular one. There are many things. In this case, the quality of the record may be average, which will affect the singer. Image.

There are also aspects such as publicity, production and so on. If the company is willing to give money to you and publicize everywhere, it will naturally be good for your record and popularity. This kind of thing is actually terrible.

Production also includes many aspects, such as whether the singer has the right to choose songs, whether he has the right to participate in the production, and the skills of the behind-the-scenes personnel who write lyrics and songs are all questions.

The most important thing in terms of production is the problem of the producer. The music producer is a bit like a film director. His task is to make and design the record that best meets the singer's strength and style. Just like the gold medal producer played by Zhang Guorong in the movie Jinzhi Yuye, he can take care of the greatest characteristics of each singer and let him exert his greatest strength, so he can quickly turn some talents into big stars.

In the real world, Zhang Yusheng is a famous gold medal producer. Zhang Huimei and other diva characters in the Chinese music world are popular. His keen sense of music and consideration of everyone's voice and singing characteristics can find the most suitable person's songs and maximize his advantages.

After all, not everyone has evil singing skills like Chen Yixun and Zhang Xueyou, and almost all songs can be made by hand.

Although Chen Jin is good at singing, he also hopes to have a gold medal producer to help him. If he is a mediocre person, he will definitely be unfavorable to him.

The above understanding of the record contract comes from Sister Fang, brother and eldest brother Zhang Yusheng. Some were asked by him on his own initiative, and some were told by others. However, this is not all in the end. There must be something in the record company that these three big brands do not understand.

But he doesn't have a manager. Even if he doesn't care about remuneration at this stage, there are too many things in the contract that he can't grasp. Even some things may need to be added temporarily. How to mention those things, but they are not stiff, not abrupt and so on.

It's not in a hurry. While reading the news about him in the newspaper and TV in the hotel, he thought about how to deal with it. He didn't go out until two o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, he planned to explore the way first and see what conditions Universal and Polaroid could give him. Anyway, it was impossible to negotiate a contract at once. Unless they can give unnatural conditions, it sounds more like a fantasy.

The Linhai Hotel is behind the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, next to the sea, and the name comes from this. It is quite close to the place where Chen Jin and others live. Come out of the hotel, follow the shady path next to it, through the middle of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the TV City, and walk for about 20 minutes.

It's not easy to go out. The rookie singing competition has just ended. He is the hottest time. How can those paparazzi withdraw stupidly? As a person, Chen Jin asked the waiter to quietly call the taxi to the underground passage and didn't avoid these guys. They were blocked at the exit. Those guys were rude to the taxi driver and resolutely. I'm not allowed to go, and I'm not afraid of the driver hitting people. I patted the window and shouted at Chen Jin, "KING, as the uncrowned king of this rookie singing competition, what are your plans for the future?"

"KING, according to the regulations of the Hong Kong government, you can no longer stay in Hong Kong after the competition. Do you have any countermeasures?"

"KING, I heard that Polaroid and Universal are interested in you. Will you stay at Huaxing Records like other singers?"

"KING, you...?"

PS: Here comes the ferocious third update, dear, what do you mean that voting for recommendation can make the author happy? - What, vote resolutely, and all of them! -Okay, good, you're a good comrade, yes, that's you, that's right!
