Chapter 168 Mr. Qin! !
Qin Chuan's laughter made Zeng Yi, Linghua and Li Yugang startle.
We are no longer children, and everyone knows that free is the most expensive.
The more free Qinchuan is, the more afraid they are.
Zeng Yi bit the bullet and said, "Brother Chuan, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"It's okay, let me translate it for you." Qin Chuan stretched out his hand, and Wang Tingting handed a contract to him: "It means signing with Qin Chao Entertainment, and you can sing this song for free."
The three of them understood.
This is an edict.
But it's a bit too much to calm them down with just one song... it's indeed enough.
To put it bluntly, the three of them are not big stars, and they are not considered to be in the third tier of the Chinese music world. Being able to sign with Qin Chuan's company is not a bad thing.
It’s a song of this quality.
Mr. Chuan is thoughtful and full of sincerity.
The three of them happily took the contract and looked at it, and their faces suddenly turned green.
The contract is ten years, divided thirty-seven, three of them, seven of the company, and all copyrights belong to the company.
Qin Chuan finally became what he hated most.
What this kid hated most at the beginning was this kind of contract, but now he is not merciless in using it.
"How are you, are you satisfied?" Qin Chuan asked the three of them with a smile.
Selling songs is not the purpose. A song is sold for only a few dollars. If you buy a singer, you will get as much money as you want in the future.
There are some songs that Qin Chuan cannot sing. It would be a pity not to sing them. There is no need to sell them to others.
Simply recruit a group of capable people, spread these songs, and let them work for you to make a lot of money.
When he was on the Avenue of Stars, he had set his sights on the two runner-up and third runner-up. They were both potential moneymakers, so he couldn't lose money by signing with them.
Qin Chuan had no strength in the past, but now that he is rich and has a company under his control, it is his turn to be a capitalist.
Zeng Yi swallowed: "Isn't this contract period a bit high?"
For ordinary singers, the flowering period is only about ten years.
A-list singers are slightly longer, but not by much.
Singers all have a drying up period, and there will always be a day when they are out of fashion. Look at the Four Heavenly Kings, how popular they were ten years ago, but they have not been ended by young people like Jay Chou, Qin Chuan, and Nicholas Tse.
Zeng Yi set his flowering period at ten years, which was considered a compliment to himself. If he could be popular for ten years, he would burn incense and worship Buddha every day.
Qin Chuan said seriously: "This is the bottom line, there is no need to talk about it. After you join the company, the company will pay in the first few years and make money in the next few years. We can't just train you and then run away. Then I will find you." Who can reason?"
Zeng Yi rolled his eyes. These words were so familiar. When he was a music director, he used to say the same thing when signing new contracts.
In fact, the company's input costs are not calculated this way at all.
In the first two years, some resources were provided one after another. If it couldn't be helped, people would be replaced. There would be no future.
People who can become popular become popular within two or three years. During this period, the company does not lose money and makes money along with them.
Li Yugang said: "Brother Chuan, the music copyright belongs to the company. Isn't that a little bit weird? If the artist leaves, he can't sing his own songs, right?"
Qin Chuan looked at him and said, "I am conscientious if I take away my stage name. If you can write your own songs, then the songs are yours, and the company's songs belong to the company."
Li Yugang shut up. If he could write it himself, he would have become famous.
But this Qin Chuan is so shameless. He wants to accept his stage name. It’s so shameless.
Linghua coughed and said: "Three to seven, I think it's a bit lacking. After all, we are not newcomers."
Qin Chuan said: "It will be open at 30-70. This is a lifelong contract. No matter how popular it is in the future, it will be open at 30-70."
Linghua: "..."
Zeng Yi: "..."
Li Yugang: "..."
Let’s just talk about it. I’ve been stuck at 30-70 my whole life, with no room for improvement at all. Who can withstand it?
The music copyright is still with the company. Although there is nothing wrong with this, they did not write the songs after all.
But if the company doesn't allow them to sing their famous song on the day they leave, that's a waste.
Not to mention the extremely long contract of ten years.
The three of them looked at each other and already thought of giving up. Although the song given by Qin Chuan was good, it was also very restrictive.
exceeded their psychological expectations.
Not a good deal.
"I'll go out and have a cigarette, you guys think about it."
Qin Chuan stood up, winked at Wang Tingting, and the two left the box.
Outside, Wang Tingting said: "Boss, you are too cruel."
Qin Chuan said: "If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand firmly. You don't understand."
In the past, he didn't think much of Tangren, capitalists like Tianyu, and scorned them. Now it was his turn to be a capital, and he learned every word.
Just because he had been a rebel, he knew the dangers involved and had to kill the buds of rebellion as early as possible. Wang Tingting asked: "Can they agree to such harsh conditions?"
"Don't worry, I will agree."
After smoking a cigarette, Qin Chuan returned to the box.
Wang Tingting poured him tea.
Taking a sip from the tea cup, Qin Chuan asked, "How many of you do you think?"
Li Yugang turned his head aside, not wanting to show off, and Linghua signaled Zeng Yi to speak.
The three of them have already agreed not to sign a contract.
"Brother Chuan, I..."
Before Zeng Yi could finish speaking, Qin Chuan said: "I forgot to say something just now. If you sign a contract with my company, I will give you one song of this quality every two years."
"I, I have no problem." Zeng Yi suddenly changed his tone and said seriously: "We have known each other for many years, and our relationship is here. In fact, I have wanted to hang out with you for a long time, but I have never had the chance. I am embarrassed to speak up. ”
"It's rare that Brother Chuan thinks highly of me. I will be a member of Qin Chao Entertainment from now on. Brother Chuan, no, Mr. Qin, I will give you a drink."
After filling a cup of white wine, Zeng Yi raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
This operation made Linghua and Li Yugang stunned.
During the time when Qin Chuan left to smoke, Zeng Yi took the lead, analyzing the pros and cons in various ways, and then came to the conclusion that he would not sign.
Good guy, as soon as I heard the song Two Years Old, I signed it immediately without even thinking about it.
You are really thick-skinned.
Linghua echoed: "Mr. Qin, what Zeng Yi means is what I mean."
Okay, okay, he was alone. When Li Yugang saw that his teammates who had been a united front in just a few seconds turned around, he stopped pretending.
"Mr. Qin, so do I!"
Damn it, if a song of this level is released every two years, only a fool would not sign it.
If others said this, they wouldn't believe it, but they believed Qin Chuan's words.
Outside, Qin Chuan has a nickname, the Wholesale Department of High-Quality Songs in the Chinese Music Circle. He wrote lyrics and composed music by himself, and produced more than a dozen songs. The worst ones were all high-quality, and several were hits, and some created a genre.
If you don’t believe what such a big shot says, then you can’t believe what anyone else says.
As for signing the contract for ten years, ten years is too short. One song every two years is only five songs. It would be best if it lasted twenty or thirty years.
Divided into thirty-seven?
Qin Chuan is responsible for writing lyrics and composing music, and there is probably no need for them to arrange music. All the troublesome work has been done by someone else. They are only responsible for singing and contribute the least.
Sanqi is not impossible.
The copyright belongs to the company, and the song was written by Qin Chuan, not theirs, so there's nothing wrong with it.
Qin Chuan turned to Wang Tingting and said, "Look, I said they will sign it."
Wang Tingting: "..."
Such a good thing, she would be willing to sign it if it were her.
The only reason to blame is Qin Chuan's saying that one song every two years is too destructive. There are only a few singers in the entertainment industry who can withstand this temptation.
After everything was settled, Qin Chuan and Wang Tingting went downstairs.
In the Rolls Royce, Qin Chuan sat in the back seat, and Wang Tingting drove him home.
On and off, Wang Tingting asked: "Boss, with your influence, if you don't sign some second-tier singers, why do you want to sign a few of them?"
Zeng Yi, Linghua, and Li Yugang, although they have a certain reputation after coming out of the Avenue of Stars, they are still far away from the second line.
They don't have two masterpieces that they can produce now.
It's not that bad, but compared with second-tier singers who have been famous for a long time, have a fan base, and have been tested by the market, the gap is too big.
For example, Qin Chuan is a director, and now he has a good script in his hands. When it comes to casting, he does not choose actors who have won awards, are popular, and have good acting skills.
Instead, he found a young artist who had just graduated from college two years ago and was still working as a supporting actor to be the male lead.
It's not a wise move no matter how you look at it.
In the back row, Qin Chuan opened his closed eyes: "Any song has a suitability problem. Some songs are only suitable for some people."
"Besides, the three of them are no worse than second-tier singers."
Phoenix Legend, in a few years, this will be a band that can cause nationwide carnival and a pioneer of square dancing.
Ridiculously popular.
The ability to make money is even more impressive.
Li Yugang is not bad either. In the early days, he relied on the unique skills of counter-acting to make a fortune. Later, he learned opera and drama. In this field, he also made his own signature and formed a unique style.
Of course, the most important thing is that second-tier singers will not agree to this kind of contract.
Those who make it to the second tier are more or less arrogant and powerful.
Unlike Li Yugang, what young singers like Zeng Yi need most now is opportunities.
