Chapter 49. Implementation of issuance
After sleeping comfortably at home for a night, and having a loving breakfast prepared by his mother in the morning, Sun Yi took a taxi and went straight to the agency he had made an appointment with Wang Jingtian.
The address was right next to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It was so blatant that Sun Yi was secretly relieved after seeing it, "If you don't have diamonds, I won't do porcelain work." This shows that the relationship between the family and the family is strong enough.
Of course, the name is definitely not an agency, which is not on the table, but a financial consulting company.
When I entered the two-story building, I saw that there were quite a few people. Wang Jingtian’s acquaintance was a beautiful young woman who looked like a small leader.
Taking the two of them into a reception room, Sun Yi looked at the environment and thought.
If it weren't for Brother Wang's relationship, a small personal studio project like mine would never have received this treatment.
The young woman took out a stack of documents and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. After sitting down, she said directly:
"Brother Wang, what business do you have to take care of my little sister today?"
Wang Jingtian laughed and replied:
"It's my little brother who wants to set up a studio."
"Oh, that's easy. One person can open a studio. There is no limit on registered capital, and there is no need to verify the registered capital. Just determine the business scope, provide an office address, a bank card number for tax payment, and personal documents."
After hearing this, Sun Yi thought for a moment and said:
"I established the studio mainly to manage my own music and book copyrights. In the future, it may also involve movies, TV series, etc."
"Well, then the business scope can apply for copyright agency and film and television production."
"What about paying taxes?"
"For finance and tax payment, you can choose to declare it yourself on a monthly basis, or you can entrust our company to handle it for you. We have professional financial personnel. Of course, this entrustment is also charged on a monthly basis."
Sun Yi understood, no wonder the agency fee was only 500 yuan. It seemed that what he earned was not just a one-time deal, but a steady flow of money, relying on the later financial entrustment.
But this is exactly what he wants. Now that he has money, he can solve the problem with money, so there is no need to worry about it.
Finally, Sun Yi filled out the application form, paid 10,000 yuan as the registered capital, and chose a one-year financial entrustment service. The young woman was very angry, and directly waived the agency fee, and told Sun Yi that she would come back in fifteen working days.
Obtain a business license and relevant certificates.
Sun Yi's personal studio has been established.
After finishing these things, Sun Yi went back to school to continue his classes, and casually gave the movie theme song to Xue Xiaolu.
The post-production speed of "A Little Red Flower for You" was very fast. If the teachers hadn't stopped me, the senior fellows in the directing department would have been in the editing room 24 hours a day. Now all that's left is subtitles and background music.
After listening to Sun Yi's theme song, Xue Xiaolu was very satisfied and praised Sun Yi's versatility.
A few days later, Wang Jingtian informed Sun Yi that the record release was coming to an end and asked him to have dinner to discuss it in detail.
Donglaishun Hot Pot in Beijing is an authentic time-honored brand. Sun Yi arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time, but he didn't expect Wang Jingtian to arrive as well.
The two of them didn't ask for a private room, just a seat by the window in the lobby. After sitting down, they warmed their hands.
Wang Jingtian lit a cigarette and said:
"I'll tell you about the record in detail. I'll talk about Sony Records first."
"For album release, big companies have their own set of processes. First of all, there is the cost issue, including packaging costs, disc pressing costs, cover lyrics costs, etc. I won't explain them to you in detail. I will tell you
Your lowest price, if you make more than 10,000 copies, the cost is 5 yuan each."
"As for the distribution fee, the share ratio of big companies is 15%-20%. For an unknown newcomer like you, Sony Records requires 19%, and you have to pay a distribution fee of 200,000 in advance. If the sales are good,
It will be returned to you from the share of income. If the sales are not good, it will be regarded as the labor fee of the other company."
Having said this, Wang Jingtian blew out a puff of smoke, smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued:
"When you saw me in such a state of desolation, it was like this. I paid money, but the album couldn't be sold, and I still owed a lot of debt."
After hearing this, Sun Yi comforted Wang Jingtian and said:
"Hey, this is all in the past, you have to believe that tomorrow will be better."
Sun Yi gave him a mouthful of chicken soup...
After Wang Jingtian heard this, he smiled and said.
"Okay, don't mention this, let's talk about Taihe Wheat Field."
"When I talked with them, I felt that they were very proactive and offered very large profits. The distribution share can be reduced to a minimum of 15%, and the advance fee does not need to be 200,000, just 100,000. However, their channels are definitely not as comprehensive as Sony Records. At present,
It is still under construction, and it is estimated that it will be fully rolled out after financing is obtained."
"It's up to you to choose between these two companies. Although I am very optimistic about your album, I can't give you much advice on the final choice. Each has its own pros and cons."
After Wang Jingtian said this, he stopped talking and gave Sun Yi time to make a decision.
After Sun Yi discussed the album release with Wang Jingtian last weekend, he went home and checked online.
Sony Records takes the international route and has always been considered a giant in the industry. If you choose it, it will be quite satisfactory. Sun Yi is confident that his album will not be a flop and the cost will definitely be recovered. It depends on how much the upper limit can be sold.
Taihe Maitian is a new domestic record company that has brought together a large number of music talents from China. It is still developing. The biggest move this year is to sign the Super Girl champion Li Yuchun. In addition, it has received US$10 million in financing.
Ambitious.
I remember that in his previous life, Li Yuchun's development after Super Girl was soaring. The first album released in 2006 exceeded one million copies in three months.
With Taihe Maitian's proactive behavior, Sun Yi felt that he was preparing to test the waters with his album and try to operate the distribution channels they had just launched to warm up the release of Li Yuchun's album.
Tsk, tsk, you are trying to be a guinea pig for others.
No one wants to be a guinea pig, and Sun Yi feels uncomfortable in his heart, but there is nothing he can do now. Sony Records wants 19%, which is a full 4 points higher than Taihe Maitian.
You know, the current value-added tax rate for Huaxia audio-visual products and electronic publications in 2006 is 17%, and the channel terminals, namely those audio-visual stores, bookstores, etc., have a 30% rate.
Nowadays, online shopping is not developed enough to replace the role of offline physical stores. The 30% channel fee is unavoidable. Calculated, this is nearly half, 47% is gone.
After excluding the issuance share, I am left with just over 30%. Every percentage of this represents a huge benefit.
Assume that the album is priced at 20 yuan each, deducting the cost of 5 yuan, one point is 1.5 cents, and 4 points are 6 cents. If 500,000 copies are sold, this is 300,000.
Sun Yi thought for a long time, made up his mind, and said to Wang Jingtian:
Chapter completed!
