Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 30 Goldfinger Bug
In fact, Xu Yi is willing to bear the cost himself. Besides being able to earn more, there is another more important reason.

That is, Xu Yi had discovered a bug in the cheat code long ago!

In order to get the role of Duan Yu, he spent two million, but his salary was only 24.

This is equivalent to a loss of 176 million.

But the 24 points were not reduced at all!
This means that as long as the money is received and meets the requirements, you will get points!

But no matter how much money is spent on it, it will not make a difference!

In this way, he naturally hopes that he can get as much money as possible in the end!

No matter how much money you invest in the early stage, it will not affect your points anyway, so there is no need to be so fussy about it!
Not only that, this bug also allowed Xu Yi to see the possibility of increasing points!
For example, if he makes a movie in the future, although he cannot directly falsify the box office, he can increase his publicity efforts.

This way, the box office will be higher and the box office share will be higher.

Naturally, you will get more points!
Of course, if the operation is not done well, the actual money earned will not only not increase, but may even decrease.

Even at a loss.

But as a reborn person, Xu Yi will never be short of money.

Even if you really lose money, as long as the loss is within a certain range, it is completely acceptable!
……

"Seventy percent? That's absolutely impossible!"

Xu Xiaofeng exclaimed immediately!

Xu Yi takes 70% and Warner takes 30%. What’s the difference between this and working for Xu Yi for free?
Even if Xu Yi bears all the costs of burning and promotion, they still have other costs!

The most important thing is that Xu Yi’s songs are all his own!
In other words, the copyright of the songs and albums all belong to Xu Yi!
Even if they want to make money slowly from copyright, they can't!

You should know that whether it is a film or television work or a song, copyright is very valuable!
A classic film or TV work, or a classic song, can definitely bring in considerable profits in the future!

Even in Hollywood, many movies are considered hits as long as they can recoup their costs when released in theaters, and they don’t need to actually make money!
Because the subsequent money earned from copyright is often more than the money earned from the release in theaters!
Even several times more!
"Boss Xu, these are my conditions. If it doesn't work out, we can only work together next time..."

Xu Yi stood up.

As one of the world's top five record companies, Warner Music's distribution capabilities are indeed very strong.

But other domestic record companies are not bad either.

Besides, Xu Yi’s album doesn’t need to be released globally.

It only needs to be distributed within the Chinese-speaking area.

Most domestic record companies have this capability.

Of course, if possible, Xu Yi would still prefer to cooperate with Warner.

Because currently domestic record companies are either from Hong Kong and Taiwan or state-owned enterprises.

This is not because Xu Yi is pro-Western.

It’s just that the former is too dark.

The latter has too many rules and the conditions are difficult to negotiate.

As for Sony in Xiaozi Country, Xu Yi had never considered it at all.

The only remaining record company with similar distribution capabilities to Warner is Universal Music, which is also one of the five major record companies.

But Universal Music is in Shanghai, and if it wasn’t necessary, Xu Yi was too lazy to make another trip.

"and many more!"

Seeing Xu Yi about to leave, Xu Xiaofeng immediately shouted.

It has been nearly three years since Warner Records entered China.

But in the past three years, as the president of the China region, he has not been able to make any progress.

Because there are not only many local record companies in mainland China.

There are also several record companies in Taiwan and Hong Kong that are also very strong.

Especially in the past two years, Jay Chou's band has emerged in Taiwan.

The singers they pushed out were beaten to a pulp!

Moreover, more than a year ago, Universal Music officially entered the mainland Chinese market.

If you only lose to record companies in mainland China or Hong Kong and Taiwan, you can use cultural differences as an excuse.

But if we lose to Universal Music, then no excuse will be enough!
As the president of the China region, he also has to bear responsibility!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

In order to open up the market, it is inevitable to pay some price!
Besides, even if they only take 30% of the profit, they won’t lose anything at all!
It's just a little profit at best!
Moreover, most of the initial costs were borne by Xu Yi himself!
This way they can also reduce the risk as much as possible!
From this perspective, the conditions proposed by Xu Yi are not excessive...bullshit!

If it were a normal album, there would be no problem in thinking this way.

But for an album that is almost 100% sure to be a hit, do we still need to worry about the risks?

If possible, he even wanted to buy out Xu Yi's album directly!
It doesn’t matter if it costs a little more!

But what can he do if he doesn't agree to Xu Yi's conditions?
It’s not so bad to miss out on a hit album.

But if Xu Yi goes to cooperate with Universal Music, that would be the most fatal thing for them!
Moreover, he seriously suspected that Xu Yi had seen through this point and dared to put forward such conditions!

……

The next day, Xu Yi came to Warner Records again.

Large companies like Warner usually offer standard contracts.

That is, most of the contract terms are the same, only the details are different.

So generally there won't be any problem.

But to be on the safe side, Xu Yi asked Wang Jinghua to introduce him to a reliable lawyer.

Then after more than an hour of research and discussion, and confirming that there was indeed no problem with the contract, and after modifying several details, Xu Yi signed his name!

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After signing the contract, Xu Yi and Xu Xiaofeng smiled and shook hands.

As for the unpleasantness of yesterday, I have naturally forgotten it long ago.

However, simply signing a publishing contract does not mean that the album can be released immediately.

There is still a lot to do next!
For example, Xu Yi also plans to shoot a MV for each song.

This way, we can release another CD album at the same time.

Xu Xiaofeng naturally had no objection to this.

Since we know that the album will be a hit, we must maximize the profits.

What's more, the money for shooting the MV and burning the CD was also paid by Xu Yi.

He has even less objection!

After leaving Warner, Xu Yi came to Beijing Film Academy.

Then I found my homeroom teacher, Mr. Huo, and told him I wanted to take a semester off...

After all, Beijing University of Electrical and Computer Science will start school tomorrow.

But next he has to shoot a music video.

After filming the MV, I still have to promote the album.

There's definitely no time for class!

"You said you were going to release an album?"

The head teacher looked at Xu Yi and obviously didn't believe what he said.

They are a film school, not a music school.

As the class teacher, doesn’t he know whether Xu Yi has musical talent?

And now Xu Yi has gained some fame.

But only online.

In reality, he is still just a fledgling new actor.

Especially now that "Tian Long" has not been broadcast yet, he doesn't even have a work to show off.

Just based on this little fame, would Warner be willing to release an album for him?

Just think about it and you’ll know it’s impossible!

Do you really think Warner is some fake company?

But then, when Xu Yi took out the contract he signed with Warner, he was immediately dumbfounded...
