Chapter 197 Negotiations
Did Xu Yang really see the decline of physical records and the rise of digital music before deciding to release the new album simultaneously online?

Of course not!
It was paid.

QQ Music began to contact Xu Yang last year, hoping to obtain Xu Yang's exclusive copyright.

In fact, they were looking for Haidie at first, and it was only at Haidie that they learned that the copyright had always been in Xu Yang's hands.

This is easy to do, just throw money at it, very good, very penguin-like.

And the price they offered was also very high, with a small goal of giving away the copyright of all Xu Yang's songs for five years.

And I am also obsessed with Xu Yang's new album, hoping that Xu Yang's new album can be released simultaneously on QQ Music.

Although it is just hope, Xu Yang believes that if he does not agree, then there will definitely be no small goal.

Because Xu Yang knows that he is not worth the price.

Take Milk Tea Week as an example. His copyright income in the first two years totaled [-] small goals.

Although it is now [-] years, Xu Yang believes that the copyright income of Milk Tea Week at this time is definitely as high as eight small goals.

But you must know that this is Milk Tea Zhou’s ten years of accumulation. There are more than 100 songs. It’s not surprising that there are so many.

But Xu Yang only has a small goal in three years, and Xu Yang's achievements are far worse than Milk Tea Week, so this is definitely an exaggeration.

What QQ Music wants is the new users and popularity that Xu Yang’s new album will bring to them when it is first released here.

After all, Da Yanbo has learned from the past, and they are also very jealous.

Of course, Xu Yang couldn't agree all at once. After bargaining, it was a small goal of five years of online copyright.

The offline copyright belongs to Xu Yang, lest Xu Yang can't even sing his own songs, which would be a tragedy.

In particular, offline copyright can bring him nearly 1000 million yuan in revenue every year, which Xu Yang cannot give up.

Although there is no offline preservation, it will be gone if it is gone. Penguin Music does not care. What they care about is online copyright.

After all, the current music copyright dispute has begun, and Xu Yang also knew that the online copyright of music released on smartphones soon would be even more controversial.

Therefore, instead of being annoyed by a group of people in the future, or even suffering a loss, it is better to authorize the copyright to Penguin Music, with Penguin behind it, and Nanshan Nursing Home to find out.

That's why Xu Yang agreed to the decision to release and even sell the new album online. He also knew that the new album would be a loss, and the money earned from the new album would be incomparable to the previous one, at most a few million less.

But Penguin Music has given him too much. A small goal will be achieved in three years. 1000 million will be paid immediately after the contract is signed. At the end of the year, 4000 million plus other income from online copyrights will all be paid to Xu Yang.

This was a condition that Xu Yang could not refuse, and this time, one of Xu Yang's goals was to persuade Yang Jie to agree to release the new album online at the same time.

"Sister Yang, this is not our choice, but the market's choice."

“The decline of physical music and the rise of digital music is something that no one can change.”

“Also, maybe in ten years’ time people will only buy digital albums, and physical albums will only be used for collection.”

Xu Yang kept trying to persuade Yang Jie, and Yang Jie was a little shaken to be honest, but she understood that Xu Yang was taking advantage of it.

Because Penguin Music found them first!
How could she not know that Penguin was buying music copyrights on a large scale, and now it seems that Xu Yang and the other party have reached an agreement.

Otherwise, why would you be so positive about the online release of your new album?

But knowing that she has no reason to refuse, as I said before, interests come first.

Wu Gao told them that digital music can also make singers famous, and the market has proven that physical music is indeed shipping soon, so many music distribution companies are waiting to see whether digital music can bring them benefits.

"Xu Yang, you should know that if you do this, it will be difficult for the company to do so."

Yang Ting sighed and said what she didn't want to say.

"The company has signed a new person named Xue Zhiqian, plus Gao Jinsha and others in the morning. Even though Lin Junjie is affiliated with Wanwan Branch, there is no difference to the head office."

"In other words, your position is not as stable as you think. Do you understand?"

Xu Yang just nodded and said softly: "I know, Sister Yang."

"But you also know the contract we signed at that time. The first version of the contract expires this year."

After hearing this, Yang Jie stood up in shock and stammered: "Xu Yang, you...don't be stupid!"

"The company just has an idea and hasn't even implemented it. As long as you think about it, the company's resources will still be tilted towards you."

Xu Yang understood Yang Jie's shock. Anyone else would be shocked.

After signing the contract, Xu Yang signed a contract with Haidie for two albums within three years that would not be lower than the first one. If Xu Yang did not reach the level of performance, he would have to sign with Haidie for another seven years.

But if it is achieved, Haidie will take the initiative to increase the share, but after the release of the second album, Haidie promised Xu Yang to sign a supplementary contract for the first version of the contract, splitting the share [-]-[-].

Therefore, Xu Yang actually only has a three-year contract with Haidie. Haidie's idea is that if the contract is successful, Xu Yang will sell himself.

But they didn't expect that Xu Yang was so powerful that he was crowned the king in his second turn, even though this "king" was only from the mainland, and the other two places only recognized Xu Yang as a top-notch, first-line singer.

Even so, they made a lot of money, and it's not like they never thought about renewing the contract with Xu Yang, but Xu Yang always said that we would talk before the end of the first version of the contract.

They just wanted Xu Yang to try harder and exchange better results for good conditions, but they didn't expect such a big surprise.

"Listen to me, Xu Yang, there is no one in the Chinese music world who is more suitable for you than Haidie. Those who are better than us will not give you better conditions, and those who are worse than us will not give you the conditions you want. So, think again think."

After hearing this, Xu Yang said: "For me, Haidie is indeed the most suitable company, and I didn't say I wanted to terminate the contract. Why should I terminate the contract if I stay here well?"

Yang Jie was stunned and said: "Ah, then what do you mean when you say the first version of the contract expires?"

Pushing Yang Jie onto the sofa, Xu Yang said: "The second version of the contract expires, so let's discuss how to renew it."

Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had returned to the company's prediction for him and wanted better conditions.

"Renew the contract, no problem. Don't leave this afternoon. Call the senior management of the company and let's have a frank chat. It's all negotiable."

"Well, yes."

After that, the two stopped talking about Xu Yang's work matters, nor about the online release of the new album, because both of them knew that how to release the new album would only be a prerequisite for signing the contract.

In the afternoon, the senior management of Haidie in Beijing gathered together. Before everyone came, they received news from Yang Jie, as well as the theme of the afternoon meeting, Xu Yang's contract renewal.

After everyone arrived, Xu Yang came late and said, "Sorry, sorry, I just answered a phone call, so I'm a little late."

Just one sentence made everyone's hair stand on end. They answered a phone call, whose call it was, and what was said. They didn't allow them to think too much at this juncture.

"Just come and sit down."

It was the boss of the company who spoke to relieve everyone's embarrassment, but he also reminded everyone, including Xu Yang, that you are still a contracted artist of Haidie.

After Xu Yang sat down, Yang Jie took the lead in telling Xu Yang what achievements he had made since signing with Haidie and how his two albums were. After she finished speaking, the main topic of the meeting came.

"According to the contract between Haidie and Xu Yang dated September [-], [-] and the provisions of January [-], [-], Xu Yang met the provisions of Article [-] of the contract, so the subsequent Article [-] renewal The seven-year rule expires.”

"And, according to Article [-], Haidie has the right to make a reservation first."

"So, now let's talk about this."

After speaking, everyone turned their attention to Xu Yang to see what conditions he could offer.

What made everyone feel relaxed was that Xu Yang did not put forward conditions at the beginning, but first talked about his feelings in Haidie.

It's just that Xu Yang's but after he finished speaking made them feel anxious.

"However, in view of the previous cooperation model, I would like to change to another cooperation model."

"Everyone should know that after Huayi went public, many of their company's stars established personal studios, and the number of personal studios has soared since the beginning of this year."

Everyone nodded, they already understood Xu Yangcheng's idea of ​​setting up a personal studio.

"I want to set up a personal studio after the contract expires and continue to cooperate with the company under the name of the studio."

"My expectation is that the time will be five years, and the profit sharing will be [-]% to [-]%, and I will have [-]% to [-]% of the company."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, the conference room fell into chaos. In the end, it was the boss who finally spoke and silenced everyone.

"Xu Yang, you probably don't know the conditions we give you. Let me explain it here."

"Twenty-eight points, we two you eight, ten-year term, resources will be given to you first."

After the boss finished speaking, Xu Yang knew it was time to bargain.

Half an hour later, Xu Yang and Haidie reached a consensus. After the contract expired, Xu Yang signed with Haidie as a studio and made a profit of 30%. The contract was signed for eight years until September [-], [-].

Xu Yang has no objection to this. Although it has been a little longer, the profit distribution is okay. The most important thing is that the contract is signed with the name of the studio.

In other words, if Xu Yang Studio signs other artists, Haidie will also recognize the cooperative relationship between other artists and their company, which is more important.

Moreover, the contract was signed in the name of the studio, but it was not affiliated with Haidie, because Xu Yang had not yet decided where to affiliate. After all, the establishment of the studio could not avoid Tang Ren.

But this is all for later, we will discuss it with the Tang people later.

After the issue of Xu Yang's signing was resolved, the album matter was easily solved. It was released online with a [-]-[-] profit split.

After settling the two matters, Yang Ting also brought him good news and successfully won the rights to the Dutch Dream Voice in China.

And just when Xu Yang thought that everything was settled and he could make an album, a phone call made him make a new decision.
