With a minimum guarantee of 6 million, plus 30% of the income, this condition is really high, too high for Wang Xuan to refuse.
Generally speaking, the music platform will deduct 30% of the revenue generated from a song being uploaded to a music platform, and 70% will be given to the copyright company, that is, the record owner. After the recording company gets the share, the profits will be distributed. The songwriters and singers will share 20% of the share, and the company will keep 50%.
Of course, the actual benefits that the company can receive are far less than that, because from this 50%, the company's operating costs and labor costs have to be deducted, at least about 20%. In other words, if a song is released, the company can receive about 30% of the net income.
Wang Xuan signed a gold medal songwriter contract. According to the original agreement, his song share was only 10%. Now the company can directly open to 30%, which means that the company itself can only receive 10% of the income. This is no different from working for Wang Xuan for free. Not to mention the 6 million guaranteed. It should be noted that in normal times, 6 million can be used to invite some top songwriters to sing.
But there was no choice. After this incident, Tianyu Entertainment had no choice but to make a choice. Because compared to the box office revenue of "Half City of Smoke and Sand", the profit sharing of a song is really nothing. If you delay for one day, you will lose 60 to 70 million in box office.
Can't afford to be hurt!
Wang Xuan went to write songs.
On the other side, in the Tianyu Entertainment Music Department, when Chen Kai called Wang Xuan, Li Tao was beside him. In addition, Tianyu Entertainment director Zhu Xu was also there.
Seeing Chen Kai hang up the phone, Li Tao couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Brother Xuan, does he have a suitable theme song?"
"Looking at Lao Chen's expression, he shouldn't have it. Also, time is too tight. So many top composers can't compose it. It's normal that Wang Xuan doesn't have it. After all, inspiration doesn't just come." Zhu Xu added. .
Chen Kai's expression was a little confused: "He said wait and asked me to check my mailbox. Does that mean?"
"Ah? That's for sure!" Zhu Xu was overjoyed, "Old Chen, quickly log in to your email on the computer. I'll be sitting here waiting today."
"Okay." Chen Kai nodded and posted the mailbox.
Then, the three top bosses of Tianyu Entertainment did nothing. They just sat by the computer and refreshed their mailboxes every five minutes for fear of missing Wang Xuan's email.
Without him, the movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" is too important to Tianyu Entertainment.
If not for an accident, the final box office of "Half City of Smoke and Sand" would have been at least 1.5 billion. And since the producers and distributors are themselves, according to the sharing agreement signed between their company and the theaters, they can share 43% of the box office...
In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, they will receive at least 645 million in box office share from the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand". The production cost of "Half City of Smoke and Sand" is about 80 million, and the operating and labor costs are about 50 million...
Equivalently, the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand" can bring a net profit of about 500 million to Tianyu Entertainment.
500 million! How many 500 million is the entire Tianyu Entertainment worth?
Now a movie can bring them a net profit of 500 million, is it not important?
Ming people don't tell secrets, if "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" cannot be saved in the end, Liu Yang will definitely end up miserable. Not to mention losing his entire family, he will probably have to go to jail.
With the three people updating tirelessly, Wang Xuan's new email finally arrived an hour later.
Zhu Xu couldn't wait to open it. The three of them took a closer look and were stunned for a moment. Because the title of the song Wang Xuan sent was also called "The World".
But Liu Yang's song "The World" was composed by the gold medal composer Yue Ye. Although Yue Ye is only a gold medal composer, in fact, this person has already become a top songwriter and is a well-known figure among the gold medal composers. Because of this, Yue Ye's song "The World" is of very high quality. Can Wang Xuan's "The World" be as good as the original one? The three of them had a question mark in their minds at the same time.
To be honest, when Liu Yang's accident happened, Chen Kai immediately approached Yue Ye and wanted to ask Yue Ye to authorize someone else to sing "The World" because this was the easiest way to solve the problem. However, Yue Ye disagreed.
In Yue Ye's words, he has exclusively authorized Liu Yang to sing the song "World", and it will be impossible for him to sing it to others within five years. As a result, what was originally a simple problem became complicated, and Chen Kai could only find another way to collect other theme songs.
With doubts, the three began to look at the lyrics of "The World".
【Looking for love like waves on the sand in the beacon smoke
Meeting her is like spring water reflecting pear blossoms
Swing the sword to cut off the lovesickness at the end of the world and put it down gently
In my dream, I care about you so much]
.....
"Hey, it looks good." After reading the first paragraph, the three of them's eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to read on.
【Regardless of generals, ministers, princes
Regardless of the eternity
Just ask for love to resolve it
This endless world of chaos will never end
Love is more, love lasts forever
Be more gentle like water
Who cares who rules the Spring and Autumn Period】
.....
If the first paragraph was just good, then the second paragraph made the three of them excited. What is the most popular line in the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand"? It is what the protagonist Liang Xiao said when bidding farewell to his wife: It is not my intention to be a general, prime minister or prince. Whoever rules the ups and downs has nothing to do with me. How can the picturesque mountains and rivers be compared to yours? With a smile like a flower, I just hope that this worldly chaos will end as soon as possible, and when I am unarmed and return to the fields, I can chat with you forever...
Doesn’t this second verse of lyrics describe Liang Xiao’s state of mind?
【If you have love in your life, why fear the wind and flying sand?
Sad gray hair cannot retain youth
Throw away the picturesque scenery in exchange for her smiling face
Overcoming this worry of life and space
If you have no resentment in your heart, love and hate will follow him
The road of love between heaven and earth is endless
Just for her
.....
The next climax echoes that line again, "How can a picturesque country be worth your smiling face" and "Throw away the picturesque country in exchange for her smiling face", don't they mean the same thing?
"If you have no resentment in your heart, love and hate will follow him, and the road of love will never end, just for her." This sentence is very good, and it shows Liang Xiao's mentality before going to the battlefield very well.
Why did Liang Xiao join the army? Defend the country? Make great achievements? No no no! Just like what Liang Xiao said in his line, "It is not my intention to be a general, prime minister or prince. Whoever is in charge of the ups and downs has nothing to do with me."
Liang Xiao joined the army with only one purpose from beginning to end, which was to better protect his wife.
He knew that he was alone and could not protect his wife in these troubled times, so he joined the army and wanted to end the troubled times. He only fought for the world for her. So when the world was peaceful, he resolutely gave up the world at his fingertips, returned to his wife, and lived a life of seclusion in the mountains and forests with her.
"It's great, these lyrics are really great. This is "The World", it's him." Chen Kai was originally a very calm person, but now he jumped up with excitement.
"Brother Xuan is awesome, one movie actually has two tailor-made songs! Now I suddenly feel that Liu Yang's appearance is not a bad thing, otherwise how would we know that Brother Xuan can actually make such a song " "World"." Li Tao praised.
"The critical time is so short. It only took an hour from the time Lao Chen called to Wang Xuan to send the song. It took only one hour to tailor-make a song of this level. Wang Xuan's talent in lyrics and music is so impressive. People are amazed, but fortunately they signed with Tianyu Entertainment." Zhu Xu sighed with emotion.
"By the way, how's the song?" Zhu Xu asked.
"I've seen it, and the song is definitely a masterpiece. What's rare is that Wang Xuan has already done the arrangement part, and there are notes on the score. Just bring the musicians and singers over to record it." As the head of the music department, Although Li Tao's songwriting ability is average, his appreciation ability is still there.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Lin Rui and the musicians over to record the song." Chen Kai said.
"Wait a minute, does Wang Xuan have any requirements for the singer of the song?" Zhu Xu asked.
"What do you think, Brother Xu?" Li Tao asked.
"This is what I think. Lin Rui already has "East Wind Breaks" and "Half City of Smoke and Sand", and his position as the king of singers is already stable. If Wang Xuan has no requirements for the singer of the song, I don't plan to let Lin Rui make this song. Rui Sing, after all, our Tianyu Entertainment cannot only have one singer Lin Rui, the singers below must also be trained." Zhu Xu said what was in his heart.
"Who does Brother Xu want to sing for? How about Xu Yang?" Li Tao asked again.
"Heroes think alike, and my favorite candidate is also Xu Yang, a third-tier singer with a good image and ability, and great potential. If this song is sung by Xu Jie, it will probably help him become a second-tier singer." Zhu Xu posted Got the view.
"Then Xu Yang. Old Chen, please call and ask Wang Xuan if he has any opinions." Li Tao said.
"Wait a minute, Lao Chen, don't ask Wang Xuan if he has any objections. Just tell him directly that if he agrees to sing this song for Xu Yang, the company can give him an additional 10% in terms of profit sharing. The extra 10%, It will be deducted directly from Xu Jie's share," Zhu Xu said.
"Would Xu Yang be unwilling?" Chen Kai interrupted.
"No. In front of such a good song, he is willing to pay back money, not to mention just deducting his share. After all, compared to the popularity bonus that a good song brings to him, what is this 10% profit?" Li Tao explained.
"Understood." Chen Kai nodded and dialed Wang Xuan's phone number.
"Brother Kai, have you received the song?" Wang Xuan spoke first.
"Received, I'm very satisfied with this song. Wang Xuan, you have helped me a lot. By the way, the director wants to sing this song to Xu Jie. As compensation, I can give you more in terms of profit sharing. Plus 10%, that is to say, after this song is released, you can receive 40% of the income, but I don’t know if you are willing?" Chen Kai said.
"I have no objection." Wang Xuan said.
He actually wants to sing by himself, but if he sings by himself, it means that he has to go back to the company now. Considering that he only returned home once a year and a half and left within five days, he seemed a bit sorry for his family. Think about it and forget it.
As far as Wang Xuan is concerned, if he doesn't sing it himself, it doesn't matter who he sings it to. After all, with the bonus of the movie, as long as the singer sings well, the performance of "The World" will not be much different.
The company giving him 10% more income was an unexpected surprise, and Wang Xuan naturally had no objection.
With a 40% commission and a minimum guarantee of 6 million, Wang Xuan estimates that it will not be a problem for him to earn 30 million from the song "The World". The small goal of a sea view room is close!
