Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 292 AB Team
However, it seems that the share between Huayan and Komi is very small.

In fact, they can still make a lot of money elsewhere.

Especially Huayan.

When the album was being produced, they had to pay for various production costs, except for Wu Chao's part.

Then there is the copyright income from the songs.

The copyright of Wu Zhuo's songs belongs to him, which they had agreed on before.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, before Wu Zhuo left Huayan, Huayan had a share of the copyright income of these songs.

In the past two years, online music platforms have risen very rapidly, and copyright revenue has begun to increase significantly.

Last year, Wu Zhuo's copyright fees for song downloads, broadcasts, and use on music platforms, as well as ringtone downloads, totaled about 100 million yuan.

Wu Chao and HIM Records split the money in half.

In other words, they earned 50 million from the copyright fees of Wu Zhuo's songs alone.

This is absolutely a terrifying number.

Why does Huayan attach so much importance to Wu Chao when there is a gap in popularity among the four members of Fahrenheit but the gap is not particularly big?

Even for him, she ignored other members and had to focus on Wu Zhuo when shooting a MV?

The reason is that the profits brought by Wu Zhuo are really too huge.

So big that Huayan gave up most of its share of record sales in order to encourage Wu Chao to release more records.

"I need to think about it."

Wu Zhuo certainly knew that Huayan’s conditions were very good.

But he was actually quite hesitant.

The small team will still affect his personal schedule to a certain extent.

He can't just ignore it after the team is formed!

That's so inhuman.

Seeing that Wu Zhuo was still hesitating, Lu Shiyu added, "If you ever feel that the team is no longer necessary, you can just quit.

We will not have any objection from our side.”

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo was really surprised.

It doesn't matter if they only take a small share, Huayan can earn it back in other ways.

Now there is no shackles on Wu Zhuo.

He really couldn't understand why Hua Yan was so obsessed with this team.

If you don’t understand, just ask. Wu Zhuo directly raised his doubts, “Based on the current share, you can’t make much money at all.

Why? Why do you want to form a team so badly? "

“No, we can make money, but we can only make money without Fahrenheit.

But do you know?
When we first founded Fahrenheit, our ideal goal was just to make around 5 to 10 million yuan a year.

What now? "

Lu Shiyu's words made Wu Zhuo suddenly realize.

Different thinking naturally means different ideas.

For HIM Records, Fahrenheit is definitely the most profitable singer they have released in recent years.

Last year alone, Huayan made no less than 100 million yuan from Fahrenheit.

If HIM Records wants to continue to take so much, naturally, they will not allow Fahrenheit to disband.

However, to a certain extent, Wu Zhuo is no longer under Huayan's control.

For other singers, they might be able to threaten them with their contracts.

But Wu Zhuo can't.

They now have to support Wu Chao.

If Wu Chao is not treated well, both EMI, HIM's long-term partner, and Sony, its newest partner, will ruthlessly wield their hoes to poach Wu Chao.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were to stop Fahrenheit's activities, they had to respect Wu Chao's ideas.

However, they don’t want to give up Fahrenheit, their signature group.

How to do it?

Naturally, one can only give up part of the benefits.

As long as the group Fahrenheit still exists, no matter how it exists, it will only benefit Huayan.

Apart from other things, because Fahrenheit and Wu Chao expanded their territory in Asia, Huayan successfully established offices in various regions and intervened in the local record market, which was a huge benefit. In addition, for Fahrenheit's A team, Huayan and Komi could only take about 40% of the record sales.

But even if it is 40%, it is definitely a huge number.

This number may not be as good as last year's Fahrenheit period.

But compared to their initial expectations of Fahrenheit, it is much better.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

Not to mention that the number represented by this 40% is calculated in tens of millions.

"From what I heard from you just now, I shouldn't be responsible for the songs of Team B, right?"

Wu Zhuo raised another question.

On the surface, his relationship with Wu Zun and Jiro Wang remains the same.

In fact, they themselves knew that their relationship could no longer be the same as before.

This is how human relationships are.

If there is even the slightest grudge or crack, the crack will grow bigger and bigger until the relationship cannot be repaired.

The relationship between Wu Zhuo and Wu Zun has not reached that point yet, but the grudge still exists in their hearts.

This grudge made Wu Zhuo selfish and he didn't want to get involved in their affairs.

"We will be responsible for the songs for Team B, and you can just be in charge of Team A."

Of course, Lu Shiyu did not stop Wu Zhuo from writing songs for Team B just because the relationship between Wu Zhuo and Wu Zun and others became strained.

The reason why he didn't let Wu Zhuo take responsibility.

The main reason is that Huayan wants to own the copyright of its own songs.

Fahrenheit is so popular now, even if Team B is less popular, it is undoubtedly the top group.

In this case, as long as Huayan can come up with a decent song and let Team B sing it, they can use their influence to promote the song quickly.

Let the influence of these songs rise.

The higher the influence, the higher the copyright fee will naturally be.

As for whether HIM will not be able to produce good songs.

This is really underestimating Huayan Records.

After all, Huayan employs so many creators.

At the same time, Fahrenheit is such a big brand that as long as Huayan recruits songs, there are many creators willing to help write songs.

Many people believe that whether a singer is popular or not is related to his ability.

There is some truth to this.

But not much.

Because, for a singer, whether he can become famous actually depends on whether the company will support him and the company's strength.

There is nothing to say about small companies. The company only has so many resources and only a few songs.

But big companies are different, they have money.

Money makes the world go round. This is true.

For the major record companies, if they really want to promote someone.

As long as this person is not extremely ugly or really tone-deaf.

Then, they have the ability to push it out.

If one album isn’t enough, try two.

Of course, Huayan certainly can't be so generous.

But they were able to make Fahrenheit's B team give priority to selecting all the songs in Huayan Records.

All brothers are like this.

Just like singers like Jacky Cheung and Jie Zhang who can’t write songs but have a lot of good songs.

Why do they have so many representative works?
Because they are strongly promoted by the company behind them.

They give priority to selecting the songs collected by the company.

For big companies, their music library consists of more than just one or two songs.

That is measured in hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands.
