After returning to the company, Xiao Yu immediately searched for information about the Dragon Clan.
The best-selling genre in 1997?
Seeing this news, Xiao Yu suddenly understood one thing.
It may be impossible to invite others to join your company.
After all, his main business is not music, but a writer. At the same time, he suddenly realized.
No wonder the lyrics are so well written, it turns out that he has writing skills.
Then, Xiao Yu picked up the phone on the table and made a call to the headquarters in Taiwan Province.
beep!
beep!
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello?"
"Brother Dayou, that matter has come to an end."
"Teacher Erjun is unwilling to come out."
"reason?"
"Actually, Teacher Erjun has another identity."
"I didn't do my job well before. Teacher Erjun's main job is a writer. The "Dragon" series he wrote is very popular here in mainland China."
"ah?"
"Brother Dayou, have you heard of this one?
"Oh, it turns out there are some in Taiwan Province as well."
"Yes, I haven't been back to Taiwan Province for a long time. Even if I go back occasionally, I come and go in a hurry."
"right."
"That's pretty much it. People are really reluctant to sign."
"well."
"Brother Dayou, I understand what you mean."
"I will definitely visit Teacher Erjun later to prevent this line from being broken."
"Adjust the terms of sharing?"
"is it necessary?"
"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu called the company's legal affairs department and asked the legal affairs department to draft a supplementary agreement again.
Previously, the agency distribution agreement signed by Rolling Stone and Shen Mo required an additional 30% handling fee, but now, according to instructions from the headquarters, the handling fee has been adjusted to 20%.
In other words, the Silent Party gets 80% of the profit from each tape or CD, while they only get 20%.
The profit of only 10% seems a bit small, but in real terms, it is not small.
The "Shen Miaomiao" album is priced at 10 yuan for the tape and 15 yuan for the CD. Excluding various operating costs, the profit from a box of tapes is about three yuan.
One achievement is 30 cents, a box of tapes is 30 cents, and 100,000 boxes of tapes is 30,000 yuan. The profit of a CD is a bit higher, about 7-8 yuan for a CD.
One hundred thousand CDs, the revenue given away is seventy or eighty thousand.
A total of 300,000 copies of "Shen Miaomiao" were recorded this time, including 200,000 tapes and 100,000 CDs.
Rolling Stone gave away hundreds of thousands of profits from this alone.
The hundreds of thousands at the turn of the century were not a small amount of money, and the handling fee for Rolling Stone's agency release this time was only a few hundred thousand.
Hundreds of thousands, which is about one-third of the agency fee.
To be fair, if it were Xiao Yu, he would definitely not propose such a clause.
But Brother Dayou is the veteran of the company. His status within the Rolling Stones is not ordinary. The big bosses have spoken out. What else can he do?
I just have to do it.
Brother Dayou did this because he wanted to give Teacher Erjun some face.
There is no shortage of good singers in the Chinese music scene, but there is a shortage of excellent songwriters. The kind of songwriters who can consistently produce excellent works are even rarer.
…
…
…
Three days later.
Xisi Hutong.
Xiao Yu carried two boxes of Lugu Dongding Oolong in his hand and followed Lao Huang to the courtyard.
Walking to the door, Xiao Yu glanced at the appearance of the courtyard without leaving any trace.
The courtyard house in front of me was obviously carefully crafted. Although the exterior walls were similar to those of the buildings next to it, they were completely different in terms of newness and oldness.
The repairs are as old as before. Teacher Erjun probably put a lot of effort into it.
Approaching the door, Lao Huang did not step forward to ring the doorbell. Instead, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the courtyard door directly.
He has the key to this house.
After all, as an agent, he has to go back and forth here frequently, and it would be too troublesome to have to call the door every time he comes here.
Xiao Yu, who was behind him, couldn't help but squinted his eyes when he saw this scene.
There are even keys to the house. It seems that the relationship between Lao Huang and Teacher Erjun's family is unusual.
"Mr. Xiao, please come in."
Lao Huang looked back with a smile and raised his hands.
"After you."
"No, you first."
After a lot of pulling and pulling, the two finally walked into the courtyard gate almost at the same time.
Stepping into the small courtyard, Xiao Yu immediately saw the pergola in the center of the courtyard. There was a person sitting under it, a very young-looking man.
Well.
He looks so so-so.
Not as good as the Little Tigers, not as good as the Little Tornado.
It's a pity, if Mr. Erjun was more handsome and matched with his talent, he would definitely become a big hit after his debut.
certainly.
Xiao Yu just sighed a little, not to mention whether he had any intention of debuting, but even if he didn't debut, he would still make a lot of money just by writing books.
"Hello, I'm Fu Weijun."
Seeing Xiao Yu arrive, Li Jie took the initiative and stretched out his right hand.
"Hello, Teacher Erjun."
Xiao Yu took the initiative to shake hands and said: "I am Xiao Yu, the head of the Yanjing branch of Rolling Stone Records. I have heard of Teacher Erjun's name for a long time."
"Today I finally saw the true face of Mount Lu."
"Nice to meet you!"
"correct."
With that said, Xiao Yu raised his right hand and showed the tea leaves.
"This is a specialty from our treasure island, Dongding Oolong. I heard Mr. Huang say that Teacher Erjun likes tea, so I brought some here."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu's expression and movements were very humble, without any sign of contempt for mainlanders.
peace brings money.
Although he has worked as a producer before, his current job is not behind the scenes, but in front of the stage. If he makes as much as 250,000 yuan every day, what kind of business is there?
What market to explore?
However, Li Jie's identity and talent are also the key to determining Xiao Yu's attitude.
If you still ask for help from others, you are either stupid or foolish.
"Thank you very much."
Li Jie took the gift box with a smile and opened it with one hand.
"Mr. Xiao, sit here."
"good."
Immediately, both parties exchanged polite greetings, and after a few words of humility, they sat down.
After sitting down, Li Jie made a cup of tea for Xiao Yu smoothly while chatting with him.
Dongding Oolong is certainly not bad, but when it comes to tea, you have to look at the mainland.
After all, Taiwan Province is only that big, and the main tea-producing areas are even smaller. You can't raise a golden phoenix in a chicken coop.
Not to mention anything else, the quality of the Keemun black tea Li Jie brewed today was far superior to that of the other party.
However, Xiao Yu doesn't know much about it. He prefers coffee to tea.
Therefore, even though the tea is fragrant, he only thinks it smells better and has no special feeling.
Realizing this, Li Jie was not upset at all.
Hobby has no distinction between high and low. He is not that old-fashioned. People who love tea can drink his tea. For those who don't love it, it doesn't matter if they make a few cups for others.
At most, I'll switch to other tea leaves next time.
