"Sometimes, I really envy the artists of MC. Really, the benefits are so good that I want to join MC and become a member of the big family of MC." Liu Xilie said with a smile: "It's a pity that I am old and have no surplus value at all. MC will not accept it!"

Liu Xilie's self-deprecation immediately caused laughter from the audience. Indeed, with Liu Xilie's current age, it is estimated that those big agency companies will not want it. After all, Liu Xilie is a singer-songwriter, not an actor.

The younger the singer, the better, which is easier to attract fans and increase their popularity and increase their own commercial value. Moreover, when young for a long time, it can continuously bring income to the agency. The older the actors, the better. Such actors have their own acting skills and achievements, and their own connections and relationship networks, which will leave many things left to the agency.

In fact, Yoo Hee-yeol is just kidding about his age. If Yoo Hee-yeol is willing, Kim Yu-fan will certainly welcome Yoo Hee-yeol to join the MC company. For nothing else, Yoo Hee-yeol's creative ability is not as dazzling as the idol group, but because the songs are very musical, they are very popular in terms of sound sources.

To be honest, singer-songwriters like Liu Xilie have no popularity or influence. If they really want to earn money, they will make a living with their talents and creative strength, and rely on their audio sources to earn far more than many idol singers.

This is why Korean music is developed because there are countless music creators who constantly create songs to contribute to the music industry. Why are there so many music creators? To put it bluntly, it is profit, money to make money, and can make a lot of money and live a very comfortable life.

In other words, if South Korea had no sound source and pirated copies were flying all over the sky, music creators would even have a problem with eating, and they would still have the intention to create music, then the Korean music market would be fatal and even completely collapsed.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Xilie now expressed his willingness to change the agency, including major agency companies in the Korean music industry, will take the initiative to contact Liu Xilie and give Liu Xilie better conditions and contracts, just to win Liu Xilie to sign a contract with his own agency.

The reason is very simple, that is, simple interests. Because once you sign a contract with Liu Xilie, then Liu Xilie will write songs without any trouble, and then the income from the audio source will be considered as a brokerage company, and there will be a lot of them.

More importantly, Liu Xilie is at this age, and his identity and status have also gone there. There is no need to worry about the agency. You know everything you should know. You don’t have to worry about making mistakes that newcomers don’t know and are prone to make. It is absolutely worry-free. In addition, Liu Xilie’s own connections and relationship network in the entertainment industry for decades will have great benefits for the company or the artists under the company.

Let me ask, there is no need to take the blame from the brokerage company or worry about the brokerage company. On the contrary, there are countless benefits. Although not many, there are many tangible and intangible benefits. For any brokerage company, such an artist will definitely be the better.

Liu Xilie's self-deprecation immediately made the atmosphere relax. Everyone also realized that MC company is famous for artists. Even if it is a newcomer, he can get a lot of personal income through contracts. This has always been the most enviable thing for artists in other brokerage companies.

Therefore, Zheng Xiujing said that although she is not as good as her sister Jessica in terms of popularity and influence, she has definitely surpassed Jessica in terms of personal income, and everyone has also skeptical. After all, comparing with MC companies, no benefits or contracts, this is basically the consensus of the entire Korean entertainment industry.

"So now, you are all quite rich?" Since this topic has been opened, Liu Xilie will certainly not be polite and asked along with this topic.

Of course, as an excellent host, Liu Xilie is definitely not such a gossip. In fact, no excellent host is a gossiper. Even if he is really gossip, he is just gossiping in his heart, or gossiping with his friends in private. In normal programs, he will definitely not gossip.

As a host, you always ask the artists about personal questions or gossip on the show, how can the artists be happy? At most, it is because they are perfunctory in the show, then hold a grudge, and then blacklist you in the future. If you can't do it if you can, you won't go on the show. If you try to avoid you as much as possible, you can't do anything.

Even if some hosts have gossip styles, they keep asking artists about gossip questions during the program, in fact, all of this is acting and specially for the audience to watch. Before the program officially started, the host and the program team had already greeted the artists who came to participate in this program and received consent. Some gossips were gossips that the artist nodded and accepted, and they also expressed their own reactions and answers so that the host could take the call and act well.

Even so, when the show ends, the host will keep bowing and apologizing to the artists. Of course, the artist says no, you are too polite, but the host still insists on bowing and apologizing. The artist doesn't care whether he cares or not. But as the host, he does gossip the other party on the show, jokes with the other party or creates topics to enhance the influence and viewership of the program. This is a fact, so apology is a must.

Even national MC Yoo Jae-suk was joking on the show, and when the show ended, even before the show ended, he bowed in advance to apologize. Even if it was a little bit of a small matter, Yoo Jae-suk would apologize very seriously. This is one of the reasons why Yoo Jae-suk had a very good connection in the entertainment industry.

Liu Xilie is not a gossiper, but now he is starting to gossip. There is no doubt that there is only one explanation, that is, this topic was discussed by the program team and F(x) before. Because this is F(x)'s unilateral requirement, or the MC company behind F(x), it is planned to let F(x) use the program "Liu Xilie's Sketch Book" to explain this issue specifically.

Because miss A and F(x) develop in China, including Kara in Japan and everyone develops in Korea. Because MC company contracts for artists, the proportion of artists' income is very high, basically reaching three levels, and in a few years, there will be four levels and then five levels. This is definitely a super contract for artists.

It seems that there are not many people who get the third floor, but it is not the case in fact. The most typical one is like S.M. Nima’s artists are 3%: 97%, which is too big.

Even at the peak of Dongfang Shenqi, because of her high popularity and strong strength, each album sold very well. But even so, Dongfang Shenqi could get a lot of dividends. Because the contract at that time was that Dongfang Shenqi released a new album, how many copies must be achieved, such as a sales of 200,000 copies, to be eligible to share the money.

For example, if the new album reaches 200,000 copies, then you have the right to pay. If it happens to be 200,000 copies, I’m sorry, you Dongfang Shenqi will not have a penny income. If it is 200,000 copies, then Dongfang Shenqi can share the extra album's money. Even if it is such an album, the agency will occupy the nine levels and will only give Dongfang Shen a layer of dividends.

According to the calculation of an album that is 20,000 won under normal circumstances, Dongfang Shenqi can only get 2,000 won. What can 2,000 won do? Damn it can buy the cheapest cigarette in South Korea, or two ice creams, two ice creams, two ice creams!

No, 2,000 won will require five points for the Oriental God, each of which will get 400 won. This is 400 won! May I ask, what can 400 won do in Korea? I’m sorry, I can’t do anything.

That's right, 400 won is basically useless in South Korea, just like the current one-cent money in China, you can't spend it. You can't buy the cheapest water, the cheapest cigarettes and lighters, and you can't even afford rice cakes. I can't even afford a bus, because the starting price of buses is about 1,000 won, and then the price will not increase within a 10km range, and only after more than 10km will the price increase according to the distance.

400 won in South Korea has basically no purchasing power or purpose, which shows that this ratio is pitiful.

Well, S.M's artists can account for 40% of their overseas development, which looks good. But the problem is that if you develop overseas, you must rely on or name a local strong agency. For example, S.M's artists in Japan are all under Aihui Records.

Since you are under the banner of Aihui Records, Aihui Records protects you, protects you, and helps you find resources and helps you develop. Do you also have to pay Aihui Records? This is certain.

Moreover, Japanese brokerage companies are not bad at all compared to Korean brokerage companies, and even worse than them. The ones that can be obtained by then will be estimated to be 1% to 3% of 40%, and there will be no change in revenue at all.

In contrast, the real source of income for singers under S.M is the source of sound, because according to relevant Korean laws and regulations, 10% of the source of sound income belongs to singers, that is, singers. The 5% ratio is much higher. The higher the source of sound income, the singer can also make money with this so-called 5%.

Secondly, advertising endorsement is the most profitable artist, and it can reach several levels. Or the agency also knows that it cannot completely force artists to death, otherwise it will not benefit you, so it is still generous in terms of advertising endorsement income distribution.

This is also why singers under S.M will crazily promote and make rankings on TV music programs, not just to promote songs and bring more income to themselves in terms of sound sources. Why do singers try their best to climb up? Not just to stand out, and then be popular and influential, so that they can endorse advertisements and make more money.

This is also why many idol singers, although very popular and influential, actually have little income. On the contrary, some composers or singers, although not very popular, may not be very popular because of their own writing and singing, but they also have a certain popularity. With their own audio source income, they can slowly accumulate and make money.

Liu Xilie, Yoon Jong-sin and others are the most typical examples. As a singer and composer, he writes songs and sings by himself. According to the distribution of music source income, singers account for 5%, lyrics account for 5%, and composition accounts for 5%. An excellent singer and composer will account for at least 10% of the music source income, and even if he bears the lyrics and music, he can account for 15%.

Those amazing singers, such as Park Jin-young, Kwon G-long, Yu Yongjin and others, earn more than one billion won in terms of audio sources in a year, which is absolutely no problem. In a country where the average annual salary of a South Korean salary is 30 million won, the income in terms of audio sources is equivalent to the income of a normal person for 30 years. What a big gap.

More importantly, you don’t need to worry about the audio source. Anyway, you can download the audio source as much as you want, and you don’t need to pay too much publicity and attention. You live your life and don’t need to waste any energy or time. To put it bluntly, you just need to maintain your popularity, promote it during the publicity period, and then wait to collect the money.

This ratio is already very high, so these singers who don’t seem to have much popularity or fame and influence are actually able to earn a considerable amount of money by relying on their musical talent and strength and relying on their audio source to earn a lot of money and their lives can be very comfortable.

Therefore, MC company has all the profit distributions of three levels for its artists, whether it is album income, advertising endorsement, overseas income, etc., except for the mandatory provision of sound sources, there is no way to do so, all the other incomes are 30%. What a horrible and terrible number, a number that makes artists in the entire Korean entertainment industry jealous.

With this number, the artists under MC Company are not ignoring how they are developing now and whether they have reached the top, but at least in terms of personal income, they are definitely much more than many team combinations that are very popular.

In fact, in recent years, as MC artists have begun to buy houses for their families, and their large expenses have attracted the attention of many people. Everyone is curious why MC company artists are so rich and can buy houses directly after just a few years of debut. How can you let other seniors who have been in other brokerage companies who have been in the industry for many years but can't afford to buy houses?

Although this is the treatment given by MC Company to its artists, the artists of MC Company also rely on their own income and labor to make money. It doesn’t matter if they don’t violate it.

But because only MC company can't do this, only MC's artists can do this. When artists under other agencies are still living a hard life, MC's artists are so chic and comfortable, especially only MC's artists, and other companies have no artists.

Therefore, this "unsociable" phenomenon has gradually caused some controversy, and even added a lot of antis to the artists under MC. Why can you MC artists make so much money, why are the artists and idols we support live so hard, and why are they so unfair?

Well, this is a typical mentality of other artists’ fans. Instead of thinking about the agency problem of your artist’s agency, you point the contradictions and dissatisfaction at MC’s artists.

This is also unsociable. If the artists' income is about the same, no one would have made this a case. But the artists of MC Company have such good conditions and treatment, which has caused dissatisfaction among other artists and their fans, and thus transformed into antisense among MC's artists.

In response to this situation, MC Company has long noticed it, so it "mandatory" requires MC artists to carry out charity work. Every year, they will give a certain proportion of their personal income to the MC Company Charity Foundation, and then help those in need.

Well~~~ Of course, this ratio will not be very high, the upper limit is 5%. As for the specific amount, MC company did not force it, the artists decided by themselves. However, all the artists under MC paid the donation at 5% of their personal income.

Obviously, the artists of MC companies are also very satisfied. Compared with the hard days of artists under other agency companies, their lives are too happy. Taking out 5% is nothing. People should know how to be content and grateful, not to mention that the overall income is high, and taking out 5% doesn’t matter, let alone doing good deeds, why not!

In addition to the MC Charity Fund, this time F(x) came to participate in "Liu Xilie's Sketch Book" with a task, which is to explain the money of the artists under the MC company.

This question was discussed with the "Liu Xilie's Sketch Book" program team long ago and received approval. Moreover, before the program officially started, Liu Xilie also cooperated with the F(x) members to do several exercises to ask this question, and then the F(x) members answered and explained separately, and confirmed that there was no problem in the words, they decided. Until now, Liu Xilie took the opportunity to ask about this topic.

Look, with Liu Xilie's words, they immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone on the scene, and everyone was very interested in it.

Similarly, the F(x) members also showed a little embarrassed expression and expression, but the smile on their faces still made people notice that the F(x) members seemed very satisfied with this, and it seemed that they had really made a lot of money.

As the captain, Song Qian was of course the first to speak: "Well, it's actually okay. The most important thing is that the contract given to us by the company is very good, and it is definitely the number one in South Korea. I can guarantee that no agency contracts given to artists can be comparable to our MC company and can give such a good contract as our MC company."
