It almost made Xu Chujing, a young girl in her early twenties, cry.
In fact,
There are too many artists in the branch.
It is impossible for Zheng Rong to pay attention to the living conditions of every artist.
But Zheng Rong subconsciously believed that the artists in the company should not be short of money!
After all, these days,
There are only a few people who generate electricity for love.
Furthermore,
Artists in the entertainment industry generally have good family conditions.
Even if Xu Chujing has no money, her family should not be short of money!
Xu Chujing’s family is indeed not short of money.
But her family is in Kyoto, and her parents have always disagreed with Xu Chujing's singing, so her family is definitely unreliable.
And Xu Chujing herself is really poor now.
"I don't have much money now."
Xu Chujing's face turned red, as if she was very ashamed to say this.
Chen Ming tried to smooth things over: "It's okay, it's fine in installments. This is something she and I have discussed before."
Hearing the words,
Zheng Rong didn't ask any more questions.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Ming couldn't come up with a result, so he turned to Zheng Rong and asked: "Director Zheng, in your opinion, how much can this song sell for?"
Zheng Rong is professional!
He definitely knows more about this than Chen Ming.
really,
After Zheng Rong thought carefully for a few seconds, he slowly said: "It won't be less than three million, probably between three million and three and a half million."
"If it is a complete buyout later, the price will double again."
A complete buyout means that all subsequent proceeds from the song will belong to Xu Chujing personally, excluding Chen Ming's share.
Hearing this number, Xu Chujing was shocked!
It is impossible to buy out.
It is impossible to buy it out in this life.
But even without a buyout, Xu Chujing couldn't afford the purchase fee of more than three million, which was too much.
even,
Xu Chujing's remaining money was not even enough to cover the cost.
Chen Ming thought for a moment and then asked Xu Chujing: "How much money do you have now?"
see the situation,
Xu Chujing raised her hand tremblingly.
"Five million?"
Chen Ming said.
Xu Chujing shook her head hastily.
Chen Ming spoke again uncertainly: "...50,000?"
finally,
Xu Chujing began to nod crazily.
fifty thousand!
Although Chen Ming knew that Xu Chujing did not have much money, he did not expect that she was so poor.
Even Zheng Rong opened his mouth wide!
good guy,
You come here with nothing but a white wolf.
Chen Ming didn't know what to say. He always thought that he was poor, but he didn't expect to meet someone even poorer than himself.
The next second,
Zheng Rong said matter-of-factly: "If you can't afford it, then I'll buy this song."
With this song,
It is entirely possible to bring out another little diva.
for a moment,
Zheng Rong felt that this song should not be wasted on Xu Chujing, it would be too wasteful.
Xu Chujing was so anxious that she cried. She held Chen Ming's arm, with tears on her face: "I can borrow money, please, give me this song."
Chen Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't say he wouldn't give it!
"Don't worry, this song is just for you."
Chen Ming comforted him.
Subsequently,
Chen Ming complained to Zheng Rong: "Director Zheng, it's just a song, there's no need to compete with Xu Chujing."
Zheng Rong laughed helplessly.
In fact, he chose a well-known artist to sing for Chen Ming's benefit, which would definitely have a much better effect than Xu Chujing's singing.
Again!
The singer is both important and unimportant.
Chen Ming's songs, lyrics and music are excellent enough.
So no matter who sings it, they can achieve a blockbuster effect.
But famous artists can put the icing on the cake and use their accompanying traffic and fame to quickly promote the song.
This is something Xu Chujing cannot do.
But Zheng Rong respects Chen Ming's choice.
Since he wrote this song specifically for Xu Chujing, there is no need for him to take advantage of others.
certainly,
In other words, Chen Ming dared to talk to Zheng Rong like this, but Zheng Rong would not be used to it if it were other musicians.
"Okay, you can decide for yourself."
Anyway,
Xu Chujing is also an artist in the company.
From the company's perspective,
Zheng Rong is not at a loss.
Hearing these words, Xu Chujing finally stopped crying.
Chen Ming thought for a moment and then said immediately: "In this way, I write this song for you. You don't need to pay any fees in the early stage. After it is released, I will take 10% of the single download fee."
at the beginning,
Chen Ming planned to sell the song to Xu Chujing on a semi-buyout basis.
Just like Xiao Xuan!
But right now,
Xu Chujing had no money at all, so she could only make appropriate adjustments.
It costs one yuan to download once, and 10% is taken, which is a dime!
This is a long-term gain.
As long as someone downloads it, there will always be income in the future.
Zheng Rong wanted to speak again, but held back.
Xu Chujing wiped away her tears and said firmly: "Fifty-fifty, I only take 50% of the profit."
She didn't give any money in the early stage, so she already took a huge advantage.
If she still gets the majority of the subsequent commission, that would be a bit too shady.
finally,
Zheng Rong spoke: "Let's split it 50-50, Chen Ming." To be honest,
Zheng Rongdu felt that Chen Ming was doing charity.
How can anyone write a song without getting paid?!
Moreover, Chen Ming’s commission requirement is too low.
Hearing the words,
After Chen Ming thought carefully, he nodded in agreement.
He is also short of money!
Although he still has a lot of money in his card, the money needs to be used to renovate the orphanage, and the director's illness is also very expensive.
Calculate it carefully,
He doesn't seem to be much richer than Xu Chujing.
After the discussion was complete, Zheng Rong ordered his colleagues in the human resources department to print out a relevant contract and explain the specific details one by one.
soon,
Three identical contracts appeared in the recording studio.
According to Chen Ming's request, Xu Chujing does not need to bear the upfront cost of the song "Courage", and the subsequent share is 50% of a single download.
At the end of the contract, Zheng Rongduo added a clause: the company is willing to provide part of the publicity expenses to help promote the song.
Each of the three holds one!
Xu Chujing is a smart person.
Seeing the line at the end of the contract, she proposed to change the contract again, so that the 50% allocated to Chen Ming would remain unchanged, and she would give 10% of her profit share to the company.
So far,
The revenue share of the entire song became 50% for Chen Ming, 40% for Xu Chujing, and 10% for Xingyu Entertainment.
for a moment,
Zheng Rong was very pleased with Xu Chujing.
good!
He is a malleable talent!!
Finally, Chen Ming sent a copy of the song demo to both Zheng Rong and Xu Chujing's email addresses.
Before the complete song is released, certain confidentiality measures need to be taken.
These do not require explicit reminders.
After sending Xu Chujing away,
Zheng Rong stared at Chen Ming eagerly, his eyes filled with passion.
Chen Ming felt a little unnatural: "Director Zheng, is there anything else?"
Zheng Rong rubbed his hands and was quite excited: "These artists don't have much money. Why don't you sell all your songs to me in the future? Don't worry, I will pay you. I will never let you suffer."
to be honest,
If this were the case, it would be much more convenient for Chen Ming.
But out of responsibility for the songs, Chen Ming just compromised and agreed, promising that songs would be sold to the company first, but Chen Ming had to check the singers of the songs!
Hearing the words,
Zheng Rong agreed without any hesitation.
Selling a song to a company and choosing an artist to sing it are two completely different things than selling the song directly to the artist.
at least,
From the former point of view, the company has the right to draw up contracts, thereby ensuring a part of the additional income.
For Chen Ming, the song he wrote for Xu Chujing came to an end.
