Chapter 227: Filming a movie in Jichun

The slogan of one e-commerce company is: No middlemen make the difference!

How much do middlemen make? It’s hard to say because there are costs involved in storage, transportation, sales, etc.

However, products that cost only 10 cents or 20 cents in the country of origin cost four or five yuan or more when they arrive in front of you. Therefore, you can experience for yourself how much money the middlemen make.

……

At any time, individuals are too insignificant in the face of capital.

In the era of ring tones, less than one-tenth of the money that could fall into the hands of the original creator.

Telecommunications does not deal directly with record companies or musicians. They will outsource the business of collecting ring tones to other partners, such as ring tones, multimedia messages, financial information, weather forecasts, mobile news, educational channels, etc. It is operated by a third party.

To put it simply, there is a middleman between users, telecommunications, and musicians (record companies)!

This middleman was responsible for signing contracts with each record company one by one. In Sun Tao's memory, this middleman was Sina.

If it is a big record company with many resources and strong bargaining power, then Telecom will earn 30 cents for a two-yuan ringtone, and the record company will split the bill with Sina 50-50 or 40-60 cents.

If it is a small record company, then Telecom still earns 30 cents, while the record company and Sina may earn 73 or 82 cents!

How much the record company will give to the creator depends on the person. It is said that Jay Chou can get 15 cents of the two dollars, and others will definitely get less.

If you are an individual creator without a company to rely on, then a score of 98:2 is normal, and it is possible to deceive you and steal your copyright without even giving you a single point.

What Sun Tao has to do now is to obtain more copyrights for excellent works. This is the advantage of scale.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, if the copyright of all songs is in the hands of Sun Tao, then he can kick Sina away and directly become a partner of Telecom, monopolizing one dollar and seven!

To take a step back, even if the account is split 40-60 cents, Sina will get 70 cents per share, then the musician who owns the copyright will get 50 cents, and Sun Tao, the agent, will earn a hard-earned 20 cents... The key is to follow the volume...


……

Xu Jingqing still welcomed Sun Tao's visit. After all, the music he composed before Sun Tao came did not bring him any profit, but Sun Tao brought him hope.

The two chatted happily...

The old man was probably quite bored after retirement, so he and Sun Tao started chatting.

Gao Xiaosong helped contact reporters from the ** newspaper, ** network, and ** TV station. They also took the opportunity to beat the drum from time to time, allowing Mr. Xu to express all his grievances and dissatisfaction.

Li Xiaojun estimated: [The sadness after a song became famous] [The old artist who lives in poverty and enjoys his life] [He made "Journey to the West" but was abandoned as a piece of junk]... Articles like this will appear soon.

In fact, you can tell from Mr. Xu's speech and behavior that he lives a very comfortable life.

A national first-class composer! The pension is definitely higher than the income of 90% of the people in the country!

Li Xiaojun looked at the old man who kept talking. The old man was indeed aggrieved, but you have to see who he compared with, that "old artist" who sang the songs he wrote and went to commercial performances for tens of millions a year!

Tens of millions in 2000!

Later, it was said that the "old artist" went to Maple Leaf Country to retire.

——

Mr. Xu signed the licensing contract. He authorized the operation of all his works to Qingzhou Culture, and Qingzhou Culture will receive 20% of the operating fees.

Other artist contracts are 30% of the operating fee.

It’s a very simple truth. If you have strong capabilities and high value, you will have high bargaining power.

If other artists want to imitate Xu Jingqing and only give Sun Tao 20%, Sun Tao may not bother to represent him, and he may not get a penny to negotiate with Sina himself.

Xu Jingqing is different. He needs Sun Tao's agency, and Sun Tao also recognizes his value.

……

Mr. Xu signed the contract and chatted with Sun Tao and reporters. At 2:30, Mr. Xu said goodbye and left accompanied by his family.

Before leaving, he thanked Sun Tao, and the reporter naturally slapped him with a "kaka kaka kaka".

The old gentleman left, but Sun Tao couldn't leave.

These reporters came to participate in today's signing ceremony. On the one hand, Gao Xiaosong's face and the long-term feeding of wheat fields are on the one hand, and on the other hand, Sun Tao himself is a focus figure.

[Mr. Sun Tao, I am Wu Tong, a reporter from Xin* Newspaper. This year’s Spring Festival Gala’s “Human World” allowed everyone to see your strength for the first time. But for you in the music world, you seem to appear out of thin air. Readers have no idea about your past. Very curious...】

[Mr. Sun Tao, I am a reporter from Xin*.com. I really appreciate the fact that you run a music website to speak out for genuine music. However, I have heard some rumors that creators like you should focus on music creation. , with no distractions, but now...do you think starting a company has an impact on your creation? 】

Seeing that Sun Tao was a little hesitant, the reporters felt that Sun Tao had some scruples because he looked really too young.

An experienced reporter put down the camera, approached Sun Tao and whispered: [Mr. Sun, you can speak freely, we are all invited by Gao Xiaosong. We will write what should be written, and we will not write what should not be written. Don’t worry...]


Li Xiaojun was very puzzled. Strictly speaking, Sun Tao was an introvert, but he was very good at communication. He never stood up when he needed to be eloquent. But today...it seemed that Xu Jingqing was chatting until he read the newspaper and said there was something suspicious in Yangcheng. Ebola and other things, Sun Tao seems to be a little distracted.

At half past four, the reporters returned home with happy smiles on their faces.

Sun Tao's rise to fame is indeed very dramatic. A technical secondary school student studying water conservancy and hydropower engineering, who had never received any systematic music education, only worked as a plumber in a song and dance troupe for a few days, and suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan. ……

There were so many things to write about that one reporter tripped over the threshold and fell over because he was drafting in his mind.

【The trick of fate has not defeated the indomitable genius】;

[Fortunately, I came to Wu'an Cultural Center, just like the golden wind and jade dew meet each other];

[Is the golden lin a thing in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm];

[First Appearance, Sun Tao's First Time]: The ins and outs of "Wu'an Talent Show" must be written. Readers like this kind of plot where the little guy counterattacks;

[Sun Tao and his nobles! 】: Wen Jianjun must write about recognizing heroes with a keen eye;

Li Xiaojun’s advice to Sun Tao needs to be written down in detail, otherwise we will all be sorry for the red envelopes Ms. Li Xiaojun gave everyone! ——

Thursday, February 13, 2003, 5pm, Feitian Building.

After getting off the taxi, Sun Tao went straight through the lobby to the elevator. He didn't even glance at the stairs leading to the restaurant on the second floor.

There were only Sun Tao in a black suit and Li Xiaojun in a white suit in front of the elevator. The elevator was still on the 17th floor.

Li Xiaojun gently held Sun Tao's hand and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"Huh? What? Nothing!"

Li Xiaojun curled his lips slightly, "The emotions are all on his face. Why, do you feel that you are losing money by only charging 20% ​​of the operating fee? Didn't we discuss it when we came here? Although not many people know the name Xu Jingqing, it has been listed on " "Journey to the West" is completely different.

Publicity effect..."

Sun Tao shook his head, "That's not the case. It's possible to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars. What's more, the old gentleman has a real thousand-mile horse in his hands. We will definitely not lose the 20% operating fee."

Li Xiaojun looked at him strangely, "Why is that?"

……

Sun Tao gently shook Li Xiaojun's hand and said, "It's nothing. I feel irritable a few days every month, you know."

"Disgusting." Li Xiaojun stepped on Sun Tao angrily at first, but then felt that it was not enough, and angrily lectured: "Dirty joke! Don't say it again in the future, in public, please pay attention to your identity."

Sun Tao quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay," and sighed in his heart, "What do you want me to say?

Are you saying that I am a reborn person? Or are you saying that the disease that broke out in Yangcheng is not Ebola, but an Ice Age germ carried by civet cats? That this disease will spread to the whole world, kill and injure many people, and will not be over until July or August Well... which one of these can be said? ”

Sun Tao was very conflicted.

Many people will die in a crisis. If he acts as a whistleblower to remind everyone, maybe...

It doesn't seem to be of any use. If someone speaks lightly, no one will believe you.

If he does not state that he is a reborn person, no one will pay attention to him; if he claims that he is a reborn person, then he is doing something wrong!

"Ding..."

The elevator arrived, and a few little girls in uniforms with arrogant faces got down.

Like a smile, sometimes pride is just a mask, more for self-protection.

Sun Tao took a step back to make way for the passage.

……

It is a great place to live in and move your Qi and nourish your body.

Sun Tao himself didn't feel much, but he dealt with big names in the entertainment industry and TV station directors on a daily basis. As a reborn person, he was full of confidence in the future, so although he didn't show any arrogance, he gradually developed a sense of indifference. tolerance.

In the past, if Sun Tao saw celebrities, big shots, or beauties, he might take a second look at them, but now he is too lazy to turn his head if there is no intersection of interests.

The walking postures of several girls are very elegant. If you pay attention, you can roughly judge their occupations.

Taken individually, the dancers' manners are also very elegant, but put together they are a bit lazy and not as unified as these few.

"Sun Tao?"

Sometimes the more indifferent you are, the more people will pay attention to you.

One of the girls gently called Sun Tao's name. The voice sounded familiar.

"Yeah!" Sun Tao followed the sound and saw that the girl was sixteen or seventeen years old. Not only did she sound familiar, but she also looked familiar!

Sun Tao asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

The girl was still a little shy and said timidly: "My name is Zhao Liying. I have watched "Wu'an Talent Show" and I am also a registered user of Haitang.com. "Down the Mountain" is very good, and "Human World" is also very good... ”

Sun Tao was in a daze. Zhao Liying, 17, looked like she was just entering the flight attendant major at LF Vocational and Technical College.

Zhao Liying, one of Sun Tao's favorite actresses. Sun Tao likes to watch "Do You Know" so Baidu has her information. Zhao Liying probably graduated from the flight attendant major in 2005 or 2006, but after graduation she did not become a flight attendant but worked in her hometown. Became a salesman.

Sun Tao himself also worked as a salesman, but Zhao Liying sold anti-corrosion pipes, while Sun Tao sold houses.

Sun Tao once imagined that, like Zhao Liying, he was suddenly spotted by a talent scout while walking on the road one day... Of course, it was only occasionally. As soon as the unrealistic fantasy occurred, he immediately brought himself back to reality...


Sun Tao smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "Thank you for your like."

The two shook hands lightly, and Zhao Liying immediately took her hand away, "Do you live here? Then we can meet again..."

After Zhao Liying finished speaking, she ran towards her companion who was waiting for her at the corner.

Several girls were chattering,

【Who is that handsome guy? 】

[Hey, yo, where do you know this handsome guy? 】

[Introduce to us...]

Zhao Liying turned around and waved to Sun Tao. The elevator door had closed and Sun Tao had left.

……

Sun Tao is a public-spirited person. He can't do such a thing even if he presses the button and refuses to enter the elevator.

In the elevator, Li Xiaojun chuckled, "There is a little girl who can tell you a few words and the clouds will change. Is that okay? This concentration is too bad. That little girl is only sixteen or seventeen, and she hasn't grown up yet." Come on, just be a human being!”

Sun Tao came close to Li Xiaojun and whispered a few words in his ear, "..."

Li Xiaojun's face turned red and she glared at him fiercely.

She thought her eyes were vicious, but to Sun Tao, they were expectations and encouragement.

……

After returning to the room and putting away the contract, Li Xiaojun simply went to wash up.

When Li Xiaojun came out, he found Sun Tao talking on the phone, "...Buy more isatis root, the more the better. Just empty out the pharmacy. Then add iodized salt and buy more Bodhi Blue Oral Liquid..."


Sun Tao didn't know if this thing was useful or not. The key point was that the old man who couldn't afford it would be anxious and angry. He said that the germs must not have affected his health.

Buy it, and you can give it to relatives and friends when the time comes, as a personal gift.

Li Xiaojun tried not to make a sound until Sun Tao finished the call, "Let me tell you first, I didn't eavesdrop!"

She approached Sun Tao with a smile, "Hahaha, have you seen the Hong Kong movie Ebola! Did it scare you into the shadows?"

Li Xiaojun thought he had guessed the correct answer and laughed at Sun Tao.

Sun Tao waited for her to finish laughing, "Eat first, check out tomorrow morning and go home!"

"Ah!" Li Xiaojun was confused, "Didn't we say we should go see the Forbidden City and climb the Great Wall together? Why don't we just leave."

Sun Tao gently hugged Li Xiaojun, "I can't help it, Zhang Huanchun is bragging about me, I'll show you the text message... We must go back to film the movie quickly..."

Li Xiaojun turned around and said disappointedly: "...Business matters, let's eat first..."

Sun Tao was helpless. If he left too late, if Kacha was locked in this room for three months, he and Li Xiaojun would have to create someone.

Sun Tao gently hugged Teacher Li's shoulders, "..."

"Go away! There is no right way... Just talk and go down the road..."
