Chapter 218 Who is the flower
Divided into sales, and both of them didn't expect Liu Yufan to think of this way. Qiqi
Of course, this method is also available in the record industry. For some particularly excellent works, the owners are unwilling to sell the copyright at once, but use the copyright of the work to add the sales share. This has certain risks. If the song is not popular, the author may not get much money. The sales share of Bijing is generally relatively low. But if the song is very popular, the author will get rich returns. The more records you buy, the more rewards the author will get.
"New Kangding Love Song" is undoubtedly a very excellent work. After listening to the song, Li Yi and Ji Yun both got a general evaluation of it. At this moment, when they heard that Liu Yufan wanted to invest in shares and sell the song through the copyright, they were just a little surprised, but they did not show a refusal expression. Obviously, as far as the song itself is concerned, it is worth Liu Yufan doing this.
However, from their own perspective, I still hope to buy out at one time, which can save a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Liu, as Lawyer Huang said just now, there is indeed a share model, but I don't recommend you to do this. Because this is risky, no one can predict the sales performance of a song. In the sales share, the author's share is generally relatively low. After deducting some taxes and fees, the end of the income is not much. It is likely that it is not as good as buying out the income you get at one time. So from the perspective of an industry insider, I suggest you think it carefully." Ji Yun said earnestly.
To be honest, Rolling Stone is a big company. When Ji Yun negotiates on behalf of Rolling Stone, she rarely speaks with such a sincere attitude. The reason for this is that Liu Yufan showed enough strength before, which made her put the other party on an equal position. Rolling Stone has always been willing to be sincere to some truly powerful and potential authors.
"Manager Ji, if Rolling Stone and I cooperate in this way, how much profit can I share from the sales of a record be as much as possible." Liu Yufan asked with interest, and was not affected by Ji Yun's words just now.
Ji Yun was not annoyed when she heard that Liu Yufan was still obsessed with this issue. Bi Jingru would consider the issue from her own standpoint, or she would do the same.
"One percent, no more than three percent at most." Ji Yun gave a number.
In fact, this number has moisture. Although what she said is a normal value, for some particularly excellent works, after evaluation, they can account for 5% or even higher.
However, Liu Yufan was surprised when he heard this number.
"So little?" Liu Yufan was surprised and felt very dissatisfied when he heard that he could only account for one to three percent of the profit. This was completely different from what he saw in the novel. Thinking of the protagonists who mastered the technology, which one was not awesome and accounted for six or seventy percent? At least four or fifteen or something, even those who were more powerful even accounted for ninety-five percent. He only left a small sip of soup for the family to enter the family, and he was grateful to him and cried. Why did he become a pitiful one percent when he got here? Speaking of which, although the things he developed were art products, unlike those high-tech things, the difference was too big.
Seeing Liu Yufan's surprise, Ji Yun just smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, it seems that you don't know much about some of the rules of the recording industry. You can ask Mr. Li, he also makes records. I think he is also aware of the question you just now." Ji Yun said, turning around and looking at Li Yi who was sitting aside and didn't speak.
Hearing Ji Yun throw the topic on himself, Li Yi nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, what Manager Ji said just now is right. Record companies need to work hard from purchasing copyrights to production to sales, plus advertising and other aspects. If you participate in the sharing of the work, the proportion of final sales profit will not be large. The ratio of one to three percent mentioned by Manager Ji is indeed a common value in the industry. Of course, if you insist on this sharing method, our Times Records can give you the highest point, three percent, but the risk is still very large. The profit of a record is only a few yuan after deducting copyright, cost, publicity and other expenses.
, You are just a single. Even if you sell it to one million copies, the profit you will eventually get is equivalent to this number after deducting income tax. Of course, what I just mentioned is the most ideal state. Bi Jing, it is really a difficult goal to sell more than one single with just one single. You should know that in China, the problem of piracy is also very serious. In the best-selling record, the sales volume only reaches hundreds of thousands in the best state, and piracy will snatch the other markets." When Li Yi said this, his expression was somewhat helpless. For record companies, the most hated thing is piracy. The losses suffered from piracy every year are huge.
After looking at Ji Yun, the other party was obviously angry about this issue, but he looked helpless.
After hearing Li Yi's words, Liu Yufan nodded, then looked at Ji Yun and said, "Manager Ji, Mr. Li just said that their Times Records can give me up to three points. I wonder where are you?"
"Mr. Li, although I admit that your new work "Xin Kangding Love Song" is indeed a very excellent work, Rolling Stone has very strict regulations on songs that adopt this model. For works like you, I can only say that one percent is the standard that can be given to you within my authority. Of course, Rolling Stone's sales channels are huge, which is an advantage, but as Manager Li just said, you are just a single, and you must include a mixed CD when you are selling it. The sales prospects are not optimistic. It is very likely that the final income you will get is far lower than your income from selling copyrights at one time. Please consider it carefully for details." Ji Yun finished speaking with a smile and stopped talking.
After hearing Ji Yun's words, Liu Yufan smiled bitterly. These two people were still interested just now, but when it was time to negotiate, they did not lose at all.
How should I choose? Rolling stones are a giant. Pulling off a hair is thicker than Times Records' thighs, but I only want to give one point when I get home. Times Records has given three points sincerely, but will they have good sales results based on the scale of their company?
"Hey, why are you so entangled with so much trouble? Isn't it just a song? With the goods in your mind, it will not only be the Kangding Love Song"? What are the small companies afraid of? Can't you bet on what you wrote? If you don't have confidence in what you write? If you don't have the wine, you are not afraid of the deep alley. So what if you bet on this song?" Thinking of this, Liu Yufan suddenly felt proud, and with a flash of thought, he had already made a decision.
Seeing Liu Yufan smiling and raising his head, the two experienced negotiators knew that the other party had made a decision in their hearts.
"Manager Ji, I'm sorry. Although Rolling Stone has always been a company I admire very much, and cooperation with Rolling Stone has always been my hope, the conditions you gave me are not satisfied, so I can only look forward to our next cooperation." Liu Yufan said, and stood up to extend his hand to Li Yi and said, "Mr. Li, I hope we will cooperate happily again!"
Seeing that Liu Yufan was confused just now, he made a decision in a flash, and both of them were a little surprised. How could they know that the person in front of them was a reborn scholar, and there were so many new masterpieces in his mind that he would not have to worry about exhausting creative inspiration. If it were a normal musician, he would never dare to bet on his proud work so recklessly.
A surprising expression flashed across Li Yi's face, and then he changed into joy. These worries that had come to nothing at this moment. He finally got the Kangding Love Song. Although the price he paid was a bit high, it was within the range that he and the company could bear.
Seeing the two people shaking hands, Ji Yun's expression remained unchanged. Although she felt a little regretful, she didn't feel too disappointed. For her, this was just a small negotiation that was not even a loss. The rolling stone was too big. Missing a song with potential was nothing.
Of course, Ji Yun finally regretted Jinyao's decision, but that was a few years later. At this time, no one expected that this guy in front of him was a super music talent with abnormal growth.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry we were unable to cooperate, but I still wish you better and better on the road of music, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Ji Yun shook hands with Liu Yufan politely, and grasped the demeanor just right.
"There will definitely be a chance." Liu Yufan said with a smile. But he himself could not have expected that the encounter with the Rolling Stone would be another dramatic way.
After the negotiations were over, Ji Yun did not achieve her goal and left after the end. As soon as she left the Yafan celebration, she simply reported the situation to the company with her mobile phone, and her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about an insignificant little thing, and then rushed to the goal.
On the other hand, Li Yi, who had successfully negotiated, held a sumptuous banquet in the best hotel in Fu'an, entertaining Liu Yufan and Jiang Ya, and celebrating the success of the cooperation.
"Haha, Xiaoya, next time your little love is good, let him tell our Xiaoyi directly. They are all in the family, and they will meet someone else and have to negotiate or something. They will make it so distant, don't you?" Li Xiaoling said with a smile during the meal.
"Eat food! There are so many good things that can't stop you from talking!" Jiang Ya replied bluntly, then picked up a large piece of braised pork and stuffed it into the plate in front of Li Xiaoling.
"Looking at your guilty look, that's what it means. You are not allowed to do it, but you are not allowed to join the house." Li Xiaoling teased.
"If you want to start a war, just say it, Li Xiaoling!" Jiang Ya said with a bad tone.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Look at you like that, let's drink one!" Li Xiaoling said with a smile.
"Haha, look at how good the relationship between them is. Come to Yufan, Brother Li respects you and celebrates our successful cooperation!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Thousands of cups!" Liu Yufan smiled and raised the wine glass in front of him, touched Li Yi lightly, and drank it all in one go.
