It was spring and Hitachi, the temperature was just right, and the weather was just right at 10 o'clock in the morning.

In the private room of the high-end cafe opposite the headquarters of the Rainbow Project Company, a handsome blonde and blue-eyed middle-aged white man was savoring the strongly fragrant cappuccino with his secretary.

"Ah, it's so hard to get such an authentic cappuccino in Canton, it's really good." He picked up the coffee and tasted it, and said in satisfaction.

The secretary was about to echo the praise, but the sudden knock on the door interrupted their chat. He had to get up and walk to the door and open the door.

Five members of the band, as well as Liu Yunqing and Li Yating, entered one after another, and entered the private room.

"Teacher Ye, let me introduce you. This is the head of Warner Records' North American Business Department, Mr. Melvin William!" As soon as Li Yating saw someone, she smiled and introduced it to Ye Weiyang.

"Hello, Teacher Ye, just call me William."

Mr. Melvin William immediately put down his coffee, stood up and greeted him enthusiastically, reached out and shook with Ye Weiyang.

Ye Weiyang also responded with a smile: "First meeting, Mr. William."

Melvin William shook hands and hugged all the members of the Break Band one by one, and gave a kiss to Liu Yunqing, who also met for the first time. Of course, the kiss was his own thumb.

This also made Liu Yunqing smile.

It is difficult for people who are sensible, etiquette and well-behaved, not to make people feel good about it.

"I'm very happy to meet you. I hope our next negotiations will be equally pleasant." Liu Yunqing said with a smile.

Yes, this time I met with the head of Warner Records' North America division for negotiations.

What to negotiate?

Of course, it is a problem for bands to open in Europe and the United States.

In order to keep the band open, Rainbow previously agreed to Ye Weiyang that he could give up other record contracts for the band open except Asia. Ye Weiyang could find North American record companies to cooperate in releasing English albums.

But in exchange, the band's agent contract is open, and Rainbow plans to renew the global exclusive contract.

Since then, the Rainbow Project has begun to help Ye Weiyang contact record companies in Europe and the United States to conduct preliminary screening based on the conditions they offered.

As for why the band's global record contract is no longer on Rainbow Plan, Rainbow Plan is also responsible for helping them contact record companies.

Of course, it is because the Rainbow Plan, as the agency for the non-closing band, has the obligation and right to be responsible for the record affairs of the non-closing band. Although they are not responsible for production, publicity and profit sharing, communication still requires the agency to come forward.

In order to keep the band developing in the European and American music scenes, it can feed back to the Asian market, so the Rainbow Plan will naturally do its best!

Finally, in the intensive contacts and negotiations that lasted for a month of the Rainbow Project, Warner Records, which gave the best conditions, stood out and won the qualification to have a detailed discussion with the non-closing band.

After a simple greeting, both sides took their seats.

Ye Weiyang asked directly: "Mr. William, if we sign a contract with Warner with North America and European Records, can Warner ensure that our band's English albums can be smooth in the European and North American markets?"

"As far as I know, although the European and North American music markets claim to be free, various double standards and discrimination are common. As a band from China and without background, we really need to be cautious."

"Of course!" Melvin William nodded and said confidently: "Mr. Ye, we are Warner!"

"It's the three largest record companies in the world in the 21st century!"

"We not only have 30% of the Chinese record market, but also are a well-established record company in the United States!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the band signs with Warner without closing, we can guarantee that all North America, as long as there are people, can buy your records!"

"As for the discrimination and double standards you are worried about, believe me, Warner will never sit idly by and watch this happen. As long as your music is excellent enough, Warner will become your strongest backing. Even if we offend Congress for this, we are willing to pay all the price!"

Ye Weiyang nodded.

He understood what Melvin William meant.

The music of the non-closing band is excellent enough to achieve results in the European and American markets and make money for Warner. Then Warner can spare no effort to support the development of the non-closing band in Europe and America.

As long as the benefits are great, Warner dares to fight Congress!

But if the music of the band is not good enough for the open band, then don't talk about anything.

This is very realistic and American.

But Ye Weiyang likes this kind of direct cooperation without any emotions, only about interests!

As long as he is given a fairness, without any shady curtains outside of the rules and intentional political suppression, he is confident that he can make a comeback in the European and American markets!

After all, when it comes to band music, there were too many good songs in the European and American music scene in their previous lives!

If he really wants to speak with his musical strength, he will not be afraid of being able to fight the entire European and American music scene in this world alone!

Puding and Yang Xiao looked at Ye Weiyang with some eyes and hesitation, and were a little worried about this statement that was extremely realistic.

If they sign Warner, if they fail to enter the European and American markets this time, they may become abandoned immediately, and no longer have Warner's resources, and they will be thrown into the cold palace until the contract expires.

This is cruel. They prefer to sign a guaranteed contract, such as spending $XX every year to release an album for the non-closing band and providing publicity at level A or above.

But Ye Weiyang actually doesn't care about this. He doesn't think the band will be popular even if they don't close.

Moreover, signing this kind of guarantee is actually a wasteful act. If the band is popular in Europe and the United States without closing, Warner would rather invest more resources in them to operate them. The money and resources they paid are definitely far higher than the guarantee terms in the contract.

It's like after the band signed the Rainbow Project, and after "Singer and Writer" became famous, the Rainbow Project was basically all-out to push the band without closing, and all kinds of money were spent on them.

It was originally agreed that it would be a S-level album for the band that never closed in a year, and invest at least five million in publicity.

But in fact, the Rainbow plans to invest tens of millions of dollars in the non-closing band every year!

Because the bands can earn more money for them!

Similarly, if you want to give up some share ratios to exchange Warner for a guarantee clause that must be fulfilled regardless of whether their grades are good or not, it is a loss for a band that is likely to rely solely on the minimum living allowance!

Ye Weiyang regretted a lot before that when he signed a contract with the Rainbow Project, he should have given up the so-called guarantee terms for publicity investment in exchange for some practical benefits.

After all, as long as they become popular, how could the company not spend money on them attentively?
