After returning to the company, Xiao Yu immediately searched for information about the Dragon Clan.
The best-selling novel genre in 1997?
Seeing that news, Xiao Yu suddenly understood something.
If I want to ask someone to join my company, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
After all, his main business is not music, but writing. At the same time, he suddenly realized.
No wonder the lyrics are so well written. Do you have writing skills?
Then, Xiao Yu picked up the phone on the table and made a call to the headquarters in Taiwan Province.
beep!
beep!
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello?"
"Brother Dayou, that matter has come to light."
"Teacher Erjun is unwilling to come out."
"reason?"
"Actually, Teacher Erjun has another level of identity."
"His work was not done well before. Teacher Erjun's main job is as a writer. The novel "Dragon" series he wrote is very popular in the mainland."
"ah?"
"Brother Dayou, have I heard of that novel?
"Oh, it turns out there are some in Taiwan Province too."
"No, I haven't been back to Taiwan for a long time. Even if I go back occasionally, I come here and leave in a hurry."
"wrong."
"That's pretty much it. People are really not willing to sign the contract."
"well."
"Brother Dayou, what I mean is that he is bright red."
"He will definitely go and visit Teacher Erjun later to prevent the line from being broken."
"Adjust the sharing terms?"
"Is it necessary?"
"Okay, I'm the boss, I have the final say."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu called the company's legal affairs department and asked the legal affairs department to draft a supplementary agreement again.
Previously, the agency distribution agreement signed by Rolling Stone and Shen Mo required an additional 30% of the leg renewal fee, but now, according to instructions from the headquarters, the leg renewal fee has been adjusted to 20%.
That is, for each tape or CD, the silent party gets 80%, and they get 20%.
Just 10% of the income seems a bit small, but when you really calculate it, it's not that small.
The "Shen Miaomiao" album is priced at 10 yuan for tapes and 15 yuan for CDs. Excluding various operating costs, the profit from a box of tapes is about three yuan.
A record costs 30 cents, a box of tapes costs 30 cents, and 100,000 tapes costs 30,000 yuan. The profit of a CD is higher, the profit of a CD is about 7-8 yuan.
For 100,000 CDs, the income gained is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
This time, Ye Yi recorded 300,000 pieces of "Shen Miaomiao", including 200,000 cassettes and 100,000 CDs.
The Rolling Stones gave away hundreds of thousands of those profits alone.
A few hundred thousand at the turn of the century was not a small amount of money, and the renewal fee issued by Rolling Stone's agency was only a few hundred thousand.
Hundreds of thousands, which is about one-third of the agency fee.
To be fair, if it were not Xiao Yu, he would definitely not propose such terms.
But Brother Dayou is the veteran of the company, and his status within Rolling Stone is not very high. The big guys have spoken out, so what can he do?
Just do it.
Brother Dayou did this because he wanted to give Teacher Erjun some face.
There is no shortage of good singers in the Chinese music scene, but there is also a shortage of excellent songwriters. The kind of songwriters who can consistently produce excellent works are even rarer.
…
…
…
Three days later.
Xisi Hutong.
Xiao Yu was carrying two boxes of Lugu Dongding Oolong on his legs, and followed Lao Huang to the courtyard.
Walking to the door, Xiao Yu glanced at the appearance of the courtyard without leaving any trace.
The courtyard house in front of me is obviously not a Gongfa building. Although the exterior walls are similar to those of the buildings next to it, they are completely different in terms of newness and oldness.
The repairs are as old as before, and Teacher Erjun must have wasted a lot of effort.
Approaching the door, Lao Huang did not ring the doorbell, but took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the courtyard door directly.
Does he have the key to that house?
After all, as an agent, he had to go there frequently, and it would be too much trouble to have to call the door every time he came over.
Xiao Yu, who was behind him, couldn't help but squinted his eyes when he saw that scene.
There are even keys to the house. It seems that the relationship between Lao Huang and Teacher Erjun's family is unusual.
"Mr. Xiao, please come in."
Lao Huang looked back with a smile, his legs stretched out.
"After you."
"No, you first."
After some pulling and pulling, the two finally walked into the courtyard gate almost at the same time.
Stepping into the small courtyard, Xiao Yu immediately saw the pergola in the center of the courtyard. There was a person walking on the east side, a very young man.
Hmm.
He looks so so-so.
Not as good as the Little Tigers, not as good as the Little Tornado.
Sorry, if Mr. Erjun were more handsome and matched with his talent, he would definitely become famous after his debut.
certainly.
Xiao Yu was just a little bit emotional. Not to mention whether he had the intention of debuting, he would have made a lot of money just by writing books.
"I'm fine. Is he Fu Weijun?"
Seeing Xiao Yu arrive, Li Jie took the initiative and stretched out his right leg.
"Hello, Teacher Erjun."
Xiao Yu took the initiative to shake his leg and said, "He has heard of the name of Xiao Yu, the person in charge of the Yanjing branch of Rolling Stone Records, Teacher Erjun."
"Ming Yue finally saw the true face of Mount Lu."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
"Wrong."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu raised his right leg and showed a bunch of tea leaves.
"That's the specialty of their treasure island, Dongding Oolong. He heard Mr. Huang say that Mr. Erjun likes tea, so he brought some over."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu's expression and movements were very humble, and there was no trace of contempt for mainlanders.
Harmony brings wealth.
Although he has worked as a producer before, his current job is not behind the scenes, but in front of the stage. If he makes as much as 2,580,000 yuan every day, what kind of business is he doing?
What market to explore?
However, Li Jie's identity and talent are not the key to determining Xiao Yu's attitude.
If you ask for help from others, you will be very pushy. If you don't want to be stupid, you will be stupid.
"Thank you very much."
Li Jie took the gift box with a smile and raised it with one leg.
"Mr. Xiao, go that way."
"good."
Immediately, both parties exchanged polite remarks and gave a few words of humility before leaving.
After sitting down, Li Jie smoothly made a cup of tea for Xiao Yu while chatting with him.
Dongding Oolong is certainly not bad, but the actual tea depends on the place.
After all, Taiwan Province is only so big, and the main tea-producing areas are even smaller. It’s impossible to raise a golden phoenix in a chicken coop.
If nothing else, the quality of the Keemun black tea that Li Jie will brew tomorrow will be out of this world.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yu doesn't know much about it. He prefers coffee to tea.
Therefore, even though the tea is fragrant, he thinks it smells better and has no special feeling.
Realizing this, Li Jie was not upset at all.
There is no distinction between good and bad, and he is not an old-fashioned person who is a ruthless tea drinker, but drinking his tea, for those who are not ruthless, brewing a few cups for them is nothing.
