China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 49 Implementation of Release [Please read]

After a comfortable night's sleep at home, and a loving breakfast prepared by his mother in the morning, Sun Yi took a taxi and went straight to the agency he had made an appointment with Wang Jingtian.

The address was right next to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It was so blatant that after seeing it, Sun Yi was secretly reassured, "If you don't have diamonds, you won't get porcelain work." This shows that the relationship between the family and the family is strong enough.

Of course, the name is definitely not an agency, which is not on the table, but a financial consulting company.

It's a two-story building. When you go in, you can see that there are quite a lot of people there. Wang Jingtian's acquaintance is a beautiful young woman who looks like a small leader.

Taking the two of them into a reception room, Sun Yi looked at the environment and thought to himself.

If it weren't for Brother Wang's relationship, a small project like my own in a personal studio would never have received this treatment.

The young woman took out a stack of documents and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. After sitting down, she said directly:

"Brother Wang, what business do you have to take care of my little sister today?"

Wang Jingtian laughed and replied:
"It's my little brother who wants to set up a studio."

"Oh, that's easy. One person can open a studio. There is no limit on registered capital, and there is no need to verify the registered capital. Just determine the business scope and provide an office address, bank card number for tax payment, and personal documents."

After hearing this, Sun Yi thought for a moment and said:
"I established the studio mainly to manage my own music and book copyrights. In the future, it may also involve movies, TV series, etc."

"Well, then the business scope can apply for copyright agency and film and television production."

“What about paying taxes?”

"In terms of finance and tax payment, you can choose to declare it yourself on a monthly basis, or you can entrust our company to handle it for you. We have professional financial personnel. Of course, this entrustment is also charged on a monthly basis."

Sun Yi understood. No wonder the agency fee was only 500 yuan. It seemed that what he earned was not a one-time deal, but a steady flow of money, relying on the financial entrustment in the later period.

But this is exactly what he wants. Now that he has money, he can solve the problem with money, so there is no need to worry about it.

Finally, Sun Yi filled out the application form, paid 1 yuan as registered capital, and chose one-year financial entrustment service.The young woman was very angry and waived the agency fee directly. She told Sun Yi that he would come to collect the business license and relevant certificates in fifteen working days.

Sun Yi's personal studio was established.

After finishing this, Sun Yi went back to school to continue his classes, and casually gave the movie theme song to Xue Xiaolu.

The post-production speed of "A Little Red Flower for You" was very fast. If the teachers hadn't stopped it, the senior fellows in the directing department would have been in the editing room 24 hours a day. Now all that's left is subtitles and background music.

After listening to Sun Yi's theme song, Xue Xiaolu was very satisfied and praised Sun Yi's versatility.

A few days later, Wang Jingtian informed Sun Yi that the record release was coming to an end and asked him to have dinner in the evening to discuss it in detail.

Donglaishun Hot Pot in Beijing is an authentic time-honored restaurant. Sun Yi arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time, but he didn't expect Wang Jingtian to arrive as well.

The two of them didn't ask for a private room, just a seat by the window in the hall. After sitting down, they warmed their hands.

Wang Jingtian lit a cigarette and said:
"As for the record, I'll give you the details. I'll talk about Sony Records first."

"For album release, big companies have their own set of processes. First of all, there is the cost issue, including packaging costs, disc pressing costs, cover lyrics costs, etc. I won't explain them to you in detail. I will tell you The lowest price is, if you make more than 5 copies, the cost is [-] yuan each."

"As for the distribution fee, the share ratio of big companies is 15%-20%. For an unknown newcomer like you, Sony Records requires 19%, and you have to pay a distribution fee of 20 in advance. If the sales are good, It will be returned to you from the share of income. If the sales are not good, it will be considered as the labor fee of the other company." After saying this, Wang Jingtian blew out a puff of smoke, smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued:

"When you saw me in such a state of desolation, it was like this. I paid the money, but the album couldn't be sold, and I still owed a lot of debt."

After hearing this, Sun Yi comforted Wang Jingtian and said:

"Hey, this is all in the past. I believe tomorrow will be better."

Sun Yi gave him a mouthful of chicken soup.
Wang Jingtian smiled after hearing this.

"Okay, let's not mention this. Let's talk about Taihe Wheat Field."

"When I talked with them, I felt that they were very proactive and offered very large profits. The distribution share can be reduced to a minimum of 15%, and the advance fee does not need to be 20, just 10. However, their channels are definitely not as comprehensive as Sony Records. At present, It is still under construction and is expected to be fully rolled out after financing is obtained.”

"It's up to you to choose between these two companies. Although I am very optimistic about your album, I can't give you much advice on the final choice. Each has its own pros and cons."

After Wang Jingtian said this, he stopped talking and gave Sun Yi time to make a decision.

After Sun Yi discussed the album release with Wang Jingtian last weekend, he went home and checked online.

Sony Records takes the international route and has always been considered a giant in the industry. If you choose it, it will be satisfactory. Sun Yi is confident that his album will not be a flop and the cost will definitely be recovered. It depends on how much the upper limit can be sold.

Taihe Maitian is a new domestic record company that has brought together a large number of Chinese music talents. It is still developing. The biggest move this year is to sign the Super Girl champion Li Yuchun. In addition, it has received US$1000 million in financing. Ambitious.

I remember that in his previous life, Li Yuchun's development after Super Girl was soaring. The first album released in 06 sold more than one million copies in three months.

Sun Yi felt that Taihe Maitian's initiative was to test the waters with his album, try to operate the distribution channels they had just launched, and warm up the release of Li Yuchun's album.

Tsk tsk, you are trying to be a guinea pig for others.

No one wants to be a guinea pig, and Sun Yi feels uncomfortable in his heart, but there is nothing he can do now. Sony Records charges 19%, which is a full 4 points higher than Taihe Maitian.

You know, the current value-added tax rate for Huaxia audio-visual products and electronic publications in 06 is 17%, and the channel terminals, namely those audio-visual stores, bookstores, etc., have a 30% rate.

Nowadays, online shopping is not developed enough and cannot replace the role of offline physical stores. This 30% channel fee is unavoidable. Calculated, this is nearly half, 47% is gone.

After excluding the issuance share, I am left with just over 30.00%. Each percentage point represents a huge benefit.

Assume that the album is priced at 20 yuan per piece, deducting the cost of 5 yuan, one point is 1.5 cents, and 4 points are 6 cents. If 50 copies are sold, this is 30.

Sun Yi thought for a long time, made up his mind, and said to Wang Jingtian:
"Brother Wang, I have confidence in this album. I choose Taihe Maitian."
