Liang Kun left his business card and left.
Jiang Kan didn't even look at it and threw it directly into the trash can nearby.
"When you are forty, do you deserve to be discriminated against? Or do you think you won't live to be forty?"
Thinking about some of the things this person said later, although they were polite on the surface, the actual content was disgusting.
In particular, he bluntly pointed out that if Jiang Kan is unwilling to sign a songwriter contract but wants to become famous as a singer, that is wishful thinking.
"Guangguang Entertainment, right? Very good."
He took out his cell phone, found Zhang Lingling's number, and dialed it.
"Mr. Jiang? Good evening!"
Zhang Lingling's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Let me guess, Mr. Jiang called so late. He has already considered signing a contract with Feiyang Entertainment, right?"
She was in high spirits, as if she had calculated that Jiang Kan was calling to discuss signing a contract.
Otherwise, it’s already eight or nine o’clock in the evening. Could it be just for chatting?
"Haha, yes, I have already figured it out. Signing with Feiyang Entertainment is my best choice."
Jiang Kan also said politely.
I didn't realize it before, but with the intervention of Guanghuang Entertainment tonight, the two companies' attitudes towards themselves are completely different.
One just wanted to write songs for their singers and be a behind-the-scenes person.
One values his own voice and is willing to promote himself as a singer.
It is clear to anyone with a discerning eye how to choose.
"That's great. Thank you very much for your trust in us! How about we sign the contract tomorrow morning at the same coffee shop as last time?"
…
Early the next morning, the two met at the Starbucks in Taikoo Li.
"Mr. Jiang, we will be colleagues from now on. You are ten years older than me. I will call you Brother Kan from now on!"
After signing three contracts as singer, composer, and lyricist, the two held hands tightly together.
"Haha, everything is fine, everything is fine."
Jiang Kan also put his heart into his stomach. Even if the signing was completed, he would be a serious professional singer from now on, not a wandering singer.
"Ding!"
"The system has detected that the host has successfully signed as an official singer!"
"Mission: [Justified] Completed!"
"The host receives a reward:
Random Music Treasure Box X1!
"Would you like to open the box now?"
The system's voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Kan's mind, making him startled!
He had forgotten that there was still such a task that needed to be completed.
But it’s okay now, things will fall into place.
"Don't open it yet, I'm still talking about something!"
"Received, the treasure box has been stored and can be opened at any time!"
…
"Brother Kan? Brother Kan?"
Zhang Lingling saw that he was stunned, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.
"Oh, sorry, I was distracted..."
Jiang Kan smiled sheepishly and apologized, and returned his attention to the conversation with Zhang Lingling.
"Okay, Brother Kan, since you are now a contract singer of our company, then, as a newcomer, we must start some work arrangements immediately."
Zhang Lingling took out a printed list from her pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Kan.
"Your song "Someone Like Me" was rated as an A-level song by our company's internal evaluation. Your singing was also rated A by us."
She pointed to the words on the list.
"And such a double-A song is only ranked fifteenth on the current new artist new song rankings. This is a huge waste of high-quality songs, and it is something we absolutely cannot allow to happen."
"After all, you were a freelance singer before, so it's understandable that you don't know the rules here. But now that you are a singer in our company, you must not be able to maintain the situation of being a mere fifteenth singer in this regard!"
"oh?"
When it came to his ranking, Jiang Kan suddenly became interested.
He did not interrupt, but looked at Zhang Lingling with interest, wanting to hear how the company arranged his song.
"So, we have this plan for your song."
"Because this song was created before signing the contract, it belongs to your own private copyright. However, in order to show that the company values you and show our sincerity, all the income from this song online belongs to you personally, Kan." , the company will not share with you!"
Jiang Kan was greatly surprised by Zhang Lingling's words!
He has been studying Xia Guo's knowledge about singers' financial contracts these days.
Generally, when a signed singer releases a song, the company is responsible for publicity and promotion.
All proceeds from downloads or other means will be divided proportionally between the songwriters + singers and the company.
Generally speaking, if a new singer is an amateur with no reputation at all, then the score will be divided into 80 and 200 - two for the songwriter and two for the singer, and eight for the company.
The share ratio between songwriters and singers depends on their respective fame, strength and contribution to the final score of the song. Generally speaking, if it is a newcomer + a songwriter, then the songwriter gets the lion’s share.
If the singer himself makes a not-so-classic song famous, then the singer will naturally take the lead.
As the singer's fame and status increase, the ratio of "28" will gradually increase, and the singer will get more and more.
But no matter what, the company gets the big share and the singer gets the small share.
After all, the company wants to transform a singer from unknown to a big star that everyone knows. It requires song purchase, training, recording, publicity, promotion, sales, sales channel fees, agent fees, assistant fees, travel vehicles and ships, and accommodation. , catering, personal image packaging, character creation, media promotion, website promotion, APP recommendation slot purchase, and even stage fees for variety shows such as "I Am XX"...even venue contacts for future concerts, stage design and lighting, Band appearance fee, ticketing system, security fee, backup dancer fee...
How many expenditures are not in units of "ten thousand", "hundred thousand" or even "million"?
These have to be provided by the company.
The total amount added up is less than hundreds or tens of millions.
The company's marketing, publicity, and sales channels were built with the company's huge funds in units of "hundred million" and took decades of hard work. No individual can master this.
Such a company, which is the second in the country and the fifth in the world, is no better than a pure newcomer with no reputation at all who is messing around on his own?
How to publish the song? What channel? How much promotion funds have been prepared?
Not to mention anything else, just for a high-end music website, the homepage advertising cost is tens of millions a day. How many millions have you prepared?
No publicity? Sorry, you are just a drop in the ocean in a library of hundreds of thousands and millions of songs. No matter how good the quality of your songs are, no one will know that they exist. How many geniuses miss you?
Singing on your own? Without the coincidental help of Xiao Feiyan, a big anchor, how many people could remember him in one day?
If an individual wants to become popular, he will definitely not be able to compete with the capabilities and efficiency of a large company.
When a company pays so much to promote one person, it is impossible for the company to let the singer take the lion's share.
Of course, if you are already a superstar like MJ or Jay Chou, you will naturally have strong bargaining power. It is not a problem to get 50%, 60%, 78%.
The fact that Feiyang Entertainment is willing to give up all the proceeds from the first song to Jiang Kan is not completely dishonest.
"Then... thank you so much, sir... thank you, the company, and you, Xiao Zhang."
The contract has been signed, Jiang Kan is now a member of the company, and the two have naturally become colleagues, so he naturally changed his tune.
This is the self-consciousness of a forty-year-old middle-aged man who has been in class for more than ten years and has been severely beaten by society.
"You're welcome, but since Brother Kan you have joined our company, you will also need to cooperate with us in all subsequent publicity work, such as tours, announcements, and interviews with public media - prerequisites That’s if there’s an arrangement.”
"Of course."
Jiang Kan nodded. These are all good things. How could an opposition singer enjoy such publicity resources?
Now that I have made up my mind to change my life in a different way for the rest of my life, it is inevitable that I will expose myself to the public.
"Oh, there is something I need to mention to you. Although singers in our company do not need to work on the clock, they only come to the company when they have something to do and follow the arrangements."
She took a sip of coffee to moisten her throat and continued.
"However, as a lyricist and songwriter, you still need to go to work in the company. In other words, the nine-to-six life is back."
"Haha, are you happy or not? Are you surprised?"
She met Jiang Kan twice and talked a lot. Zhang Lingling had long seen that Jiang Kan was a very easy-going and gentle person and had a good impression of him.
So they started joking, and she believed that the other party wouldn't care.
"Ah... are my days of free life coming to an end? I hate being woken up by the alarm clock in the morning!"
Jiang Kan also cooperated with her and showed a helpless expression. The result was not successful, but made both of them laugh.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."
After talking about the business, the two were about to separate when Zhang Lingling suddenly remembered another thing and spoke again.
"What's up?"
Jiang Kan turned his head and looked at her.
"Your song "The Wind Rises" is also rated double A in the company for singing and song. Next month will be the annual new singer champion list. The company plans to let you use this song to compete in the list. You But don’t send it out now!”
"Oh? Is that so? Okay, I understand."
Jiang Kan nodded, very happy that Feiyang Entertainment valued him.
Comparing the attitude towards Guangming towards him before, it is really like heaven and earth.
