077. Exclusive authorization, refuse to sell songs
Zhang Yufeng asked curiously: "Student Wang Xiao, have you signed a contract with an agency?"
Zhang Yufeng called his classmate and wanted to get closer.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiao stopped talking.
Zhu Ziqi picked up the phone and replied, "Hello, Manager Zhang, I am not from the agency, I am just Wang Xiao's agent, who specializes in handling his contracts and trivial matters. Now can we talk about the specific situation?"
Zhang Yufeng put away his curiosity: "Okay, what do you call me?"
Zhu Ziqi: "Just call me Xiao Zhu."
Zhang Yufeng smiled: "Okay, let me call you Ms. Zhu. We learned that Wang Xiao's songs were published separately on Net Yiyun, and we applied for an independent musician, but we have not signed a specific contract. We want to sign an exclusive contract with Wang Xiao, so that Wang Xiao's music will only be published on our Shenteng Music Platform in the future."
"Also, we have a music company under Shenteng Music and we also want to sign an artist contract with Mr. Wang Xiao."
Zhu Ziqi looked at Wang Xiao with her eyes inquiring.
Wang Xiao whispered: "The first one can be discussed, but the second one won't be discussed."
You can talk about exclusive online copyrights for music, but don’t talk about signing a music company.
He doesn't want to be bound by himself!
Zhu Ziqi immediately said: "You can talk about the exclusive online contract, and Wang Xiao has never thought about the artist contract. He is just an anchor now, so let's not talk about it for now."
Zhang Yufeng: "Does Wang Xiao always want to be an anchor?"
Zhu Ziqi: "Let's talk about it later, be a good anchor first. Wang Xiao only wants to make his own music now. Whether he is a anchor singing or other ways of singing is the same for him."
Zhu Ziqi still remembers Wang Xiao said that she likes singing, which is a very pure love, and she supports it very much!
Zhang Yufeng was silent for a second and said, "Mr. Wang Xiao likes to make music, and his music is so excellent. It should be seen by more people. We Shenteng Music has a larger platform for him to show his music."
Zhu Ziqi: "So, we can talk to you about the exclusive online releases."
Zhang Yufeng: "Haha, Ms. Zhu is amazing. Well, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the online Du family contract. The conditions we give are the same as those of the shark No. 1 sister Xi Feifei on Net Yiyun. It is an exclusive exclusive contract. We will promote resources, share advertising and fees, and give you three million signing fees a year. With Wang Xiao's music quality, the annual income will not be less than eight million."
They have counted the specific data. Now Wang Xiao’s total downloads of several songs on the Internet have exceeded 1.5 million. This is only about half a month’s data. The average download volume exceeds 100,000 per day, and the peak total download volume exceeds 500,000 per day.
Such data is almost unique among the group of non-famous celebrity singers, and no other Internet celebrity singing anchor or online musician can compare with it.
In the future, this data will increase, and the subsequent advertising and charging share will be extremely considerable.
Zhu Ziqi began to show the strength of the agent: "Manager Zhang, how do you think the popularity of Wang Xiao and Xi Feifei now compare?"
Zhang Yufeng: "It's time to be a pound."
Zhu Ziqi said affirmatively: "Wrong, Wang Xiao's popularity has surpassed Xi Feifei. Don't forget that Brother Xiao's songs are original. This is not like most of Xi Feifei's cover songs. Others can also get authorization to cover them, so if you don't listen to her, you can listen to others. Every song by our Wang Xiao is original. Without our authorization, others cannot be used as commercial covers. Only our family can download it. This is truly exclusive."
"In summary, Wang Xiao's value is far above Xi Feifei. In terms of online musicians, I can't think of anyone who can compare with Wang Xiao. Manager Zhang's offer is insincere."
Wang Xiao, who was eating buns, gave Zhu Ziqi a thumbs up - amazing.
Zhu Ziqi blinked at Wang Xiao.
Zhang Yufeng's tone became a little weaker: "Ms. Zhu, what price do you think Wang Xiao is suitable for?"
Zhu Ziqi immediately said: "According to the data I have obtained in my investigation, Xifeifei's exclusive contract of 3 million yuan per year is a contract two years ago. Next year, the cooperation between Xifeifei and Net Yiyun will expire, and it will definitely be more than this price. Now the copyright of online music has been taken seriously by the state. In the case of infringement and piracy, the value of original music will be even higher. I think if you want to sign an exclusive contract with Wang Xiao, 20 million a year is not high."
After the Internet piracy began to crack down on severely, the value of genuine music copyrights increased significantly when pirated music sources were almost impossible to find. Now the price of music copyrights is rising every year. This is also one of the reasons why musicians are becoming lazy, because the copyrights in the past made them live more comfortable while lying down. In addition, the variety show is no worse than the previous tiring income of producing albums.
The same is true for many old record companies. They are still relying on their old capital, and they dare not discover new people easily, and are afraid of losses.
Zhang Yufeng on the phone was obviously silent for a moment, obviously surprised by the price, and then said: "Ms. Zhu, it's impossible. I'll talk to you personally, which shows our sincerity and importance."
Zhu Ziqi: "We have sincerity, but I haven't seen your sincerity for the time being."
Zhang Yufeng: "Haha, what Ms. Zhu said made me ashamed. Let's take a step back. How about 50,000? Exclusive contract, sign for three years, pay 10 million after signing!"
Zhu Ziqi looked at Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao raised a finger and said that he had only signed for one year!
Zhu Ziqi nodded and expressed her understanding: "Manager Zhang, 15 million a year, and sign it once a year."
Zhang Yufeng: "It's impossible. It's too expensive to have 15 million a year. The exclusive contract for well-known singers is only tens of millions. The year is too short, and it will take at least three years."
Zhu Ziqi: "Famous singers are all old-fashioned, and few release new songs. We, Wang Xiao, are all original songs. Each song is very popular and can bring a lot of new traffic and paid users. This is a huge advantage."
The two began to fight, and they were tangled for more than half an hour. After Wang Xiao finished his meal, he wandered in the shallow water in Weibo and the fan group for a while before the two fought for the result.
Zhang Yufeng finally softened his tone: "It's okay for a year, eight million."
Zhu Ziqi insisted: "Nine million is our lowest price. If it is low, there is really no need to negotiate."
Zhang Yufeng said helplessly: "Ms. Zhu, you are very awesome, OK, I agree. I will send you the details of the contract. After reading it, you can raise it and discuss it. If you don't have any comments, sign it and send it to us!"
Zhu Ziqi also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you Manager Zhang, happy cooperation."
Zhang Yufeng: "I hope the cooperation will go smoothly. You are catching up with a good time. Now the online copyright is very strict, and it is not easy to find a pirated copy. A few years ago, we bought the five-year exclusive copyright of several kings, which is 20 to 30 million. If this cooperation is pleasant, we may have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Zhu Ziqi: "I also hope we can have a happy cooperation. Manager Zhang, you said that it was a few years ago. At that time, pirated products have not disappeared. Everyone is still used to pirated products. Online copyrights are not valuable and have no profits. But now it is very different. It is difficult to find pirated music on the Internet. When your contract in the past two years expires, you still want to continue to ask for the exclusive copyrights of those king singers. I think it is impossible without hundreds of millions, right?"
Zhang Yufeng was silent. He knew that Zhu Ziqi was almost telling the truth, and he changed the subject at the moment.
The two of them made a few hypocritical and polite words, and then hung up the phone.
Zhu Ziqi put down the phone and threw herself on Wang Xiao's back with some excitement, saying, "The agreement is completed, they will send you a contract later! Nine million a year..."
Wang Xiao just heard the whole process and gave Zhu Ziqi a thumbs up: "Awesome, big agent! Look at the contract carefully at that time. Don't involve us in the competition between them and Net Yiyun. In the past two years, they affected a large number of people. Finally, the mediation from the top made Shenteng Music suffer."
Zhu Ziqi also remembered the music copyright dispute in the past two years. At the beginning of the copyright era, Shenteng Music spent a lot of money to stockpile a large number of exclusive copyrights.
Net Yiyun started out as a pirated copy. He never thought about copyright. He never thought about spending money to buy copyright. It would be best to make money for free. But then the official began to crack down on piracy, and the piracy could not be done. Net Yiyun turned around and started to purchase copyrights and found that the copyright of most well-known songs had been exclusively bought by Shenteng.
Only then did Net Yiyun realize that they had no content to provide. More than 70% of the copyrights of famous music were all in Shenteng, and they bought them the exclusive copyright that started in five or six years. Once they provided the content, it would be infringement. In the end, they had no choice but to start rolling around, creating public opinion, and let the superiors mediate, saying that Shenteng was a monopoly, and asked Shenteng to share the copyright free of charge, wanting to make money by making a fuss, and allocate the copyright by crying. They had never thought about the interests of the original author, and only cared about themselves.
Shenteng naturally didn't want to. The two companies fought openly and secretly for almost a year or two, and finally Shenteng made concessions. They suffered a little loss on the surface and gave up some copyright to Net Yiyun. In secret, Shenteng and Net Yi behind Net Yiyun have any resources to trade.
Anyone who is concerned about the cause and effect of this incident knows clearly that Net Yiyun is not a shameful website. This is one of the reasons why Wang Xiao is willing to negotiate with Shenteng first before he contacted Net Yiyun. He has a bad impression of Net Yiyun and is afraid of being cheated. There are many original musicians who have been cheated by Net Yiyun.
Although Shenteng is overbearing with copyright, he bought it for the copyright owner with real money, so he speaks naturally with confidence. Net Yiyun started out as a pirated copy and began to cheat many works under the banner of sharing. As a result, when the copyright tightens, he is shameless and rolls around, which makes people speechless.
Zhu Ziqi said seriously: "I will look at the contract carefully and discuss with them if there are any problems."
Wang Xiao nodded: "Okay, by the way. Have you screened these QQs? "
Zhu Ziqi took the mouse and said, "I have roughly screened some of the commercial performances, record companies, and music websites. What do you think specifically?"
Wang Xiao thought for a while: "Don't be in a hurry for now. If you take on commercial performances, you will only take on local Rongcheng for the time being. I don't want to go to other places. I will refuse all the record companies and other records. Now the music website can also be rejected. We have already negotiated with Shenteng Music..."
Zhu Ziqi nodded: "What about the inviting songs? Many people who have come to invite songs will buy out the copyrights of these songs you are now, and the copyright of the new songs will also start with 10,000 yuan."
Wang Xiao shook his head directly: "All those who invite songs are refused. I am not interested in selling songs. We are not short of money and will not sell any works. You go to my Weibo to publish this statement. If we don't sell songs, no one will sell them!"
Zhu Ziqi still nodded in support: "Okay, I'll send it now!"
As he said that, Zhu Ziqi sent a brief statement for Wang Xiao on Weibo: "Given that many people have added me to invite songs, I declare that I will not sell any works, including published and unpublished ones. Any individual or company who invite songs do not need to come to me. I have no plans to release records for the time being. In the evening, the Shenbing Live Broadcasting Room will release new songs too much, and see you all!"
Weibo soon received tens of thousands of likes and thousands of comments.
"The most domineering musician, I don't sell any works, Xiao Ge Niupi."
"Brother Xiao, if you have the chance, can you make an album that you have published? I really want to buy an album for collection, and every song is a classic."
"I'm already waiting for a new song in the black screen live broadcast room. By the way, Brother Xiao's black screen live broadcast room is so popular today. The black screen is two million hot, how dare you believe it?"
…………
The couple didn't go out for a day. They ordered takeout at noon and went out to deal with the many trivial matters caused by the surge in popularity in Xiaoxiao's rental house.
Until around 8 pm, Q came the third pop-up window today, and it still went straight to Wang Xiao's live broadcast room.
Because, Wang Xiao’s live broadcast time is coming soon.
Chapter completed!
