Chapter 40

"100,000 dollars?!"

At a glance, Pholys and Bili looked at each other's pupils that could not be concealed from each other's pupils.

In the music industry, prepayment is the most basic and critical contract concept for artists. It is a music copyright distribution company.

In essence, prepaid is a interest -free loan based on the future income of the artist. It aims to pay a series of costs such as the cost of living, creative costs, recording and production costs, and music promotion and marketing costs.

So why do music people need to pay prepaid?

You know, the way that the musician gets income, and there is a essential difference with their entertainment industry. Fashion models settled according to the number of cats and shoots. The level of brand sales has no impact on their income. Film and television actors are starring

The number of collective calculation of the film is rewarded. Only the real superstar will talk about the box office sharing with the producer and the issuer, but even such a division is just the bonus of the icing on the icing on the film that they originally set.

The income earned can even exceed the original pay, but this still cannot change the incentive nature of the box office into this concept.

The income of the musician is closely related to the sales of music works. If you are a song and song creator, then the music works you create need to be authorized to the record company through the music copyright issuance company you signed, and then the record company will be submitted to the signing singer to a contract singer.

After singing, after the singing, after a series of redundant processes such as later production, we can finally be available for market consumption.

On the other hand, if you are a record room singer signed by a record company, although you can save the authorized steps, you still need to wait for the same long release time and settlement cycle to truly get your version tax sharing.

In the period of streaming media, online version tax is generally settled according to quarterly. Some settlement agreements and even semi -annual or annual years. Platforms have paid the version tax to the record company account. There are usually 30 to 45 working days with the settlement cycle of the record company and the artist.

. In other words, even if you sign a contract, you will sing. The time to get the first version of the tax is at least half a year later.

And this is the speed of real -time settlement in the Internet era. In the era of physical records, the settlement process is not only slower, but also several times more complicated. The record company needs to verify the specific sales amount from different physical channels, and then accurate sales figures and accurate sales numbers and number

Artist calculated version tax.

That's right, record companies can get a prepaid prepaid from physical channel dealers in most cases, but what does this have to do with artists?

This deferred income is also considered a liability on the ledger of the record company, so it is impossible for the record company to settle with the musician before truly transforming it into income.

It is precisely because of the slow and lengthy settlement process of the tax income that in order to ensure that its signing artists have enough funds to bear the cost of living, to ensure that focusing on the music cause, the music copyright issuance company and record company have launched a prepaid policy.

In the same period of the era of the Hollywood major studios, there was also a large distribution company and the era of the big record company. In the era when Frank Singer, Dien Martin was active, the singer standing in front of the stage was purely singing songs purely singing songs

People, they do not have the ability to create, nor do they need to have creative ability. The glorious skin and a good voice are the only requirement for the signing of the artist in the record company.

People have no current industry status. They must rely on copyright to issue companies in order to find a suitable exit for their creation.

Music copyright distribution company integrates the work, records it into a small sample to the record company, and then selects the favorite tracks by the record company to be assigned to an artist with style. In the entire record production process, what the singer needs to do is to go to the recording studio.

, Sing the specified notes according to the music score, and then close the door. That's it. Therefore, the prepaid at that time only played a role in the cost of life cost.

However, in various senses, it is a great 1960s, and the outstanding figures that change the history of modern music appear like a tide.

The musician is no longer the creamy niche who danced with a big back with a large back. They are not handsome, not high, and some even crooked melon jujube, but they are truly pouring thoughts, wisdom and inspiration in the records.

Then, then

In the 1950s, the engineering composers created in the grid room came to the stage and turned into a highly anticipated rock star.

Such a singer has a common feature that they will never fake the creation and production processes. The record company suddenly finds that they not only need to fully decentralize the power, but also need to match their production processes.

Corresponding capital support.

Of course, this process is far from being described as simple and easy. The record company's senior management and musicians have been in the battle for decades, about creative control and music production rights.

Obviously, it can expel good coins in a short period of time, but consumers will vote with their ears after all. The music consumer market still prefer to have the real content and substantial creative players. Therefore, the record company has gradually begun to reduce full -time full -time.

Production staff.

By the second ten years of the 21st century, the so-called In-House production department of the record company has basically died. Each label is more inclined to find musicians with original ability to give them a prepaid.

This prepayment includes not only living expenses, but also creative fees, production costs, recording fees, and sometimes 100 % music promotion fee will also be included.

Any innovative measures will eventually be distorted into a system that is conducive to capital. Records company discovered that paying a prepaid and then being a supervisor is much easier than the previous work.

To put it, the artist needs to be repaid to the company.

For example, if an artist gets a prepaid of 20,000 US dollars from a record company, and the tax share ratio between him and the record company is 28, then he must first receive a $ 100,000 income for the company.

From the part of the part of the tax that you should get, the 20,000 prepaid payment is cleared in order to really start sharing the version tax.

If the sales of this album of the musician are not enough to pay the entire prepaid amount, they may still need to pay for it, or use the following album's version tax to repay. This is why many musicians are getting more and more liabilities. Special, especially

It is a rapper. The money they got from the record company may become a necklace or Louis-Vuitton's leather bag as soon as they arrived.

Then, then

Generally speaking, when the newcomer signs the first record contract, the prepaid of the first album is between 0 to 100,000 US dollars. Yes, you read it right.

Pay. If you are a little represented, the prepaid of the entire album is about 100 to 200,000 US dollars. Further becomes a star musician, the prepaid payment may float between 300,000 to 750,000 US dollars.

Only the real superstar can get a huge prepaid of more than $ 1 million.

For example, Madonna, a contract with a contract is $ 17 million, and it is the one that does not need to be repaid. This is so thick, where is the envious?

Therefore, when Pholys and Bili heard the figures thrown by Han Yi, the surprise was justified.

"Wait, Mr. Han, you mean." Phoenix's right hand stagnated in the void.

"A song." Han Yili released an index finger, and then stretched out his middle finger. "Of course, be careful, I am talking about the music copyright and mother -in -law copyright of this song. I have to sign together.

"

$ 100,000.

It's just a preparation of a song.

And this song has been produced.

Even if the music copyright is given with the mother's copyright, it is also profitable.

How much is 100,000 US dollars, enough for yourself and your sister?

You know, the little recording studio in their bedrooms only spent 3,000 US dollars.

As for the production cost of "Ocean Eyes"?

Didn't hear Fonyas say that Logic comes with Logic?

$ 0!

After all, it is still a child. Bili has screamed with his fists, and the six -year -old Pholys can still maintain a little basic reason.

"Is this number too exaggerated? I mean, we ..."

Fenias stopped talking. What he wanted to say is that this song has not even earned a thousand dollars so far.

246,000 playback, under the so -called "fan support version of tax" policy of Soundcloud, can only get $ 805.65.

Zhao Yanzhen also pursed his lips and cast a worried look to the future partners.

She is indeed full of confidence in Bili and Fonyas, but she has not trusted to invest a total of 100,000 US dollars on the first single.

"I know what you want to say, but we have confidence, Funias. Miss Zhao and I are both."

Han Yi looked at Zhao Yizhen. From an angle that only Korean girls could see, he gently pressed down with his right hand to signal the latter.

"This is a way we show trust, yes, now it looks like a lot of $ 100,000, it can help you do a lot of things with Bili ... Hey, isn't this what we want?

What do you want to complete? "

Only Han Yi knew the stamina of this song. After Bili burst into fire, this simple single -made single not only did not become her stain, but also became the most praise of her and Pholys.

The number of playbacks on Spotify alone exceeds 410 million, and the conversion of version tax is 1.4 million US dollars, and this is just a platform.

The rough family MV on YouTube has 420 million playback volume and $ 1.44 million!

It is a big profit to sign the copyright and music copyright of this song with $ 100,000.

What's more, this $ 100,000 is just a loan. After turning around, I will return to my own hands.

DAMN You Capitalists!

... to be beautiful!

"Moreover, guys, do you know ..." Han Yi leaned forward, deliberately lowered his voice, and wanted to play a more concentrated effect on the audience.

Pay another 100,000 to the promotion cost of this single! This is an agreement that guarantees the use of it, it will be written in the agreement I will send to you soon. "

"Zhenzhen, take me, or bite, how can it be fine?"

Bili put his hand in front of Ji Zhen.

"Tell me, I'm not dreaming."

"You are not dreaming."

Zhao Yanzhen kissed gently on Bili's hand. She was a person with a strong ability to adapt. Since Han Yi made a decision, she should be able to make it all. This is what she should do as a potential partner should do.

It is also her firm confidence in the billionaire.

Besides, what can even be lost even if 200,000 US dollars are lost?

Can I buy the bathroom with a terrace?
