Start with a pop song

Chapter 23 A Generous Woman

In Song Dao's opinion, the songs that come out of the bronze treasure chest are already very good.

Regardless of whether they are salacious or not, they are both highly famous pop songs.

The fine bronze level is enough to produce classic pop songs such as "A Person's Eternity".

According to this logic, silver or fine silver is almost the kind that is sung by first-line superstars and is popular in the streets and alleys.

Or it could be a representative work of a second-tier talented singer.

Gold is probably the representative work of a first-line superstar, or a timeless classic pop song by a superstar, or the former song of the year.

Fine gold...I guess it must be a masterpiece of the level of superstars, queens, and gods of singing, right?
Of course, these are just Song Dao’s guesses.

To be honest, he was really curious about what kind of song this would be.

Anyway, I think the system definitely favors Lin Fei!

If he didn't have something else to discuss, he would have wanted to open it and take a look right away.

Looking at Lin Fei, whose eyes were slightly red due to the song, Song Dao acted very modestly: "Sister Fei, I am just a newcomer in the music industry and I don't know anything. I believe you will not let me suffer any loss!"

Lin Fei blinked her bright big eyes.

This person is indeed similar to what Yanyan said, talented, but quite money-grubber.

However, Song Dao gave her the impression that he was not just a money-grubber, but also a sophisticated man!
It's not that she is arrogant. Even though she has retired, it is difficult for people in the circle to remain calm and composed in front of her.

Not to mention that he was so steady in giving her advice.

Whether in terms of appearance or aura, she is enough to overwhelm most people who appear in front of her.

This young man, who had been a bootlicker for several years and finally came to his senses after spending millions of dollars and wrote a song to diss his ex-girlfriend, did not show any fear in front of her, as if he was not affected at all.

Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes exuded a hint of alienation and coldness.

It was as if beauties like her and Yan Yu were no different from other people in his eyes.

Is it really like what some people say online: when a bootlicker is hurt too badly, he will become desperate about all opposite sex?
Lin Fei muttered to himself, and said: "In this case, I will state a condition, and you can see if it is suitable."

Song Dao nodded.

Yan Yu took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll go order food. Call Xixi over in the evening. We'll have a meal together here!"

As she spoke, she twisted her waist, stretched out her long legs, and walked downstairs with a clatter.

Lin Fei watched Yan Yu's back and turned his gaze to Song Dao.

"Maybe Yanyan told you before that my company is not big, with only 40 to 50 people in total, but the salary we offer should be the best in the industry."

Song Dao nodded.

"Then I won't elaborate. After signing the contract, I will first do my best to help you become famous. This is the basis of cooperation.

Regarding profit distribution, as a singer, I will temporarily give you 50% of the company's net profit.

If it really becomes popular in the future, we can talk about it again.

For agency contracts, such as participating in variety shows and commercial performances, the company and you split the profits 30% to 70%, and you take 70%. "

Song Dao's expression was calm, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

This condition is a bit too good.

Before, Kong Xi took 40%, and he felt that the company behind Kong Xi was really generous.

Not to mention doing charity, it is definitely the conscience of the industry.

Although artists today are generally paid more than in the past.

But such a high rookie contract is indeed rare.

So his previous idea was to be the same as Kong Xi.

After all, no one knows whether Kong Xi has other reasons to get such a high share ratio.

As a result, Lin Fei opened her mouth and actually gave him 50%.

10% higher than Kong Xi!
If an independent musician chooses a partner and finds that the other party is a good candidate, this profit sharing ratio is possible.

After all, no matter how good a song is, it needs the right person to perform it, and the two complement each other.

Half for each is reasonable.

They may even proactively offer a higher ratio after their partner becomes popular.

But for a company, 50% is a bit too high!
After all, the company has operating costs!
Moreover, unlike film and television production companies, the various expenses of music companies are not that complicated.

In other words, it is not easy to cook the books!
Various operating expenses are basically clear at a glance, and as a singer you have the right to conduct an audit at any time.

The so-called net profit does not include expenses such as staff salaries!

Rather, it is the income a song gets from various channels after deducting the costs related to the song itself, such as channel promotion, ranking, and publicity.

In other words, while Lin Fei was supporting the company's employees and paying for rent, utilities, transportation, travel expenses, etc., the income she could get from him was far lower than his!

As for the agency agreement, there is nothing much to say.

On point, very on point!
Lin Fei looked at Song Dao and said, "My ability to run a company is average, and I haven't been able to make it big, but for the artists under me, I will try my best to help them make more money."

After a pause, she continued, "When I first debuted, I worked in a big company and suffered a lot of losses. I know how it feels. It's not pleasant."

Song Dao silently gave Lin Fei a thumbs up.

What a spendthrift woman!

Lin Fei: "If you give your creations to other people to perform, I can give you 30% of the net proceeds."

"You may already know that the share I give to singers is not low. If I give too much, the company might really lose money."

As an old man who only cares about money, Song couldn't help but ask at this moment: The singer takes 40% and the songwriter takes 30%. When you run a company, you only have 30% left?

Is this a new artist's appointment? Will the singer become popular in the future?

Finally it was upside down to 19?
Even though this was only a personal contract for him, but looking at the look of this spendthrift woman Lin Fei, she should be nice to others too!

Do you have to be so generous?

Has your company really made money over the years?

What if you were Pang Donglai?

Lin Fei is very smart.

After all, he is the only top student from Peking University in the circle.

You can tell what Song Dao is thinking at a glance.

She smiled and said, "Feiyang Music is quite profitable. Although none of its artists are particularly great, its annual income from commercial performances alone exceeds 100 million yuan. After deducting all expenses and taxes, there is still a lot left. If we can train a few first- and second-tier artists, it will be even more amazing."

Song Dao nodded and had no doubt about it.

He knew a few friends who worked in MCN in the past, and a few hundred million in annual turnover was nothing.

If you really want to become a leader, live streaming and selling goods alone is a huge piece of fat meat.

He had also checked before and found that Feiyang Music also had related business.

But he still felt that Lin Fei, the young queen, was not cut out for business.

But for the working cows and horses, she is undoubtedly a good boss!

Not to mention that the system has started tasks for Lin Fei, even if it didn't, he decided to join Feiyang Music.

"Okay, Sister Fei is so generous. I have no problem with it. The contract will be drafted later and we can sign it at any time." Song Dao said.

"That's great!" Lin Fei's face showed joy, and her smile was particularly charming.

He stood up and held out his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

Song Dao gently shook her soft and slender hand, and quickly released it. "Happy cooperation!"

"Oh, there's one more thing," Lin Fei suddenly thought of something and looked at Song Dao, "You used a pen name before, probably because you didn't want people to know that those songs were written by you, right?"

Song Dao nodded: "Yes, it is a copyright registration using a pseudonym as the signature of the work."

"In that case, let's sign separately. You are you, and Water Strike Three Thousand is Water Strike Three Thousand.

You can give me a letter of authorization and we can sign a supplementary agreement.

The company will register this pen name as a trademark for you.

This way, if the other party wants to find out your real information, it can’t be said that there is no chance at all, but it is definitely very difficult. ” Lin Fei suggested.

Song Dao did not hesitate, expressed his gratitude immediately and agreed.

He sang those two songs himself, and the system directly registered the copyright using his real name, but after the pen name Shuiji Sanqian came out, the copyright was registered in a signed way.

If some people really want to find out Shui Ji Sanqian's identity, it is still possible.

But if this pen name is applied for by Fei Yang Le Zhang in the name of the company, as long as both parties sign the authorization agreement and scope privately, all funds will first enter the company. If others want to track him down, they must go through Lin Fei.

Or bribe someone inside the Trademark Office.

Once you do this, you will inevitably face great risks.

And to be honest, Song Dao uses a pen name just to safely get through this "newbie period".

As long as this period of time passes, even if it is really revealed that it is him in the future, what can we do?
Apart from making the public realize how awesome he is, there will be almost no other negative impact.

However, although Lin Fei is a bit of a spendthrift, she is very thoughtful.

It's nice to have a boss like this.

The two of them went downstairs and, in tacit understanding, glanced at the watch hanging on the wall at the same time.

It's not even four o'clock yet.

Then they looked at each other and laughed.

"Are you done talking so soon?"

Yan Yu was using her tri-fold phone to select ingredients at the moment. Without even looking up, she said, "Barbecue tonight? Someone gave me a few pieces of beef a few days ago, and they praised it a lot. Let's taste it."

Lin Fei nodded: "I'm fine with either. Let's see Teacher Song."

"Sister Fei, just call me Song Dao. I'm not picky about food." Song Dao said as he picked up his phone and looked at the message that had just been sent.

Wang Shi Sui Feng: What have you been busy with these days? I just saw that your two songs have entered the top ten of the original charts, congratulations on the big sales! (grin)

Recently, this "frustrated young man" would send him messages to ask about his well-being and wanted to treat him to a meal several times.

The address also changed from junior to elder brother unconsciously.

After Song accidentally ran into him meeting his ex-girlfriend last night, he had already made up his mind.

Song Dao: I just signed a contract with a company.

Past Gone with the Wind: Ah? Really? Congratulations! Which company is it from?

Song Dao: Feiyang music.

Past gone with the wind: Wow! Brother Dao is awesome! Isn't that the company of the queen Lin Fei? Awesome!

The past is gone with the wind: I heard that Sister Fei’s company treats her very well!

Wang Shi Sui Feng: Brother Dao, could you please ask if I can sign with them and get the lowest rookie contract in the industry?

Song Dao: The lowest in the industry? Then it is very likely that you don’t earn as much as singing in a bar, right?
He didn't know it before, but when he went there with Kang Peng last night, he found out that it was a very high-end bar.

Almost all the people who go there to spend money are rich people, and you can even often see some famous artists.

As the bar's resident singer and mainstay, Hu Wei's current income should be quite high.

The past is gone with the wind: The income from singing in the bar is okay, but to be honest, I still want to sing on the big stage. Some things... Well, let's not talk about that. Anyway, please ask me for me.

Song Dao: Okay.

Putting down the phone, he looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Sister Fei, is the company still signing new people?"

Lin Fei was startled for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "You have a suitable person now...who you want to promote?"

She is indeed smart.

Yan Yu never told Song Dao that he asked her about Hu Wei.

She relied on two things:

Song Dao wrote this song but he didn't want to sing it; the meaning of the lyrics didn't quite match his experience!
It can be basically judged that Song Dao asked this question most likely on behalf of his target singer.

Song Dao was a little surprised.

This woman may be a spendthrift, but isn't she a little too smart?
Lin Fei didn't wait for Song Dao to answer, and continued: "As long as you recommend it, I have no problem with it, um..."

She hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Song Dao and said, "For the people you signed yourself, you will get 70% of the profits. You can arrange it yourself."

Song Dao: “…”

He looked at Lin Fei with a strange look.

No, sister, it’s very difficult for me to do this!

For the people I sign, 70% of the profits go to me, and you only give 40%. How much should I give?
Also, with this being the case, who is the boss of this company?

Even if he has no shares, in fact, Lin Fei's words are equivalent to putting him in the position of an important partner.

How much do you think highly of him?

Also, aren’t you afraid that if things continue like this, one day he’ll become big and take over?

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I am optimistic about Teacher Song. Let me put it this way, I don't lack the money from starting a company. I hope to see the music industry become lively again, and I also hope that the artists under me will have better prospects and development, and not bow down for a few dollars, and can live with more dignity."

"So I know that the share I gave was actually a bit too high. I just wanted to help those newcomers, and I don't have the top resources of those big companies."

"If there is an opportunity to expand, and the revenue sharing ratio is adjusted appropriately, their income will still be higher than before, which is not impossible."

“So my attitude is very simple. As long as you have the ability, I will make sure you get the benefits that others cannot poach and you don’t want to leave.”

"Our goal is win-win cooperation. We will not fight for profit, and we will not turn against each other for it."

Song Dao silently gave Lin Fei a thumbs up again.

If you, a spendthrift woman, were my wife, your butt would be swollen from being beaten!
"Would it be convenient for us to invite him over to have dinner and chat?" he asked.

"I'm fine. It's up to you." Lin Fei said with a smile.

Yan Yu, who had seen the conversation between the two, smiled and said to Song Dao, "Do you know what kind of person Sister Fei is? She didn't say that if you have the ability, you can be the boss of the company. That's already a concession.

The person you are talking about is Senior Hu Wei, right?

Go ahead and scream, it's okay.

This is really a great opportunity for him.”

Lin Fei doesn't know Hu Wei.

The reason why she values Song Dao so much is because the obsession that had been buried in her heart for many years was activated by a song [A Person's Endless Eternity]!

If Song Da only sang the few other songs she already knew, she wouldn't be so generous.

But the song "A Person's End" allowed her to instantly capture a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that might make up for her regrets!
Who doesn’t want a musical genius who emerges out of nowhere?
How could she, a past diva, keep him here?
Beauty?
Not to mention that she was disdainful, the other party clearly did not regard her as the national goddess and queen of the music world.

All she can do is give treatment that no one else can give.

She wants to take a gamble!
She wanted to see with her own eyes someone accomplish something she had failed to do that year—

Overturn this lifeless music scene!
Get a new one.
