Chapter 42

Because piracy is not rampant in this world, the income of singers is generally higher than that of his previous world, and the income of songwriters is correspondingly higher than that of his previous world. Ding Ning knows that.

However, even for top songwriters, the guaranteed copyright is between 15 and 7 per song, and the sharing ratio is about 10% to [-]%.

Zhao Shufeng's price, although including lyrics and music composition, has almost reached the height of a giant in the industry, and he is just a newcomer, so he should not be able to afford this price, which shows that Zhao Shufeng really values ​​him.

You must know that many songwriters, even if they have already written one or two popular songs, most companies ask them for songs, and the terms they are willing to offer are more of the buyout contracts that newcomer songwriters initially offer.

The so-called buyout contract is to directly buy out all the copyrights of the song with a sum of money, and the songwriter no longer enjoys any sharing income.

This model, most of the time, is an unequal treaty that squeezes newcomers, and the money that songwriters can get is often much lower than the guaranteed bonus.

It has to be said that Zhao Shufeng was very sincere in offering such a condition to his newcomer.

The problem was that Zhao Shufeng wanted to sing the song for the anchors, and even for a first-line anchor like Michelle, in terms of popularity, he was only at the level of a third-rate singer, so the sales of songs would naturally be difficult to increase.

In this way, if ten songs are sold out, the income will be much lower than that of regular singers. In Ding Ning's view, this deal is not worthwhile.

Of course, after all, it was a contract worth at least 200 million yuan. Ding Ning didn't immediately refuse: "Let me think about it."

Such a generous condition still needs to be considered, and the more he feels that Ding Ning is really difficult to deal with, Zhao Shufeng can't help but feel a little headache: "Do you think the conditions are not enough?"

In view of Zhao Shufeng's sincerity, Ding Ning said frankly: "It's about the same. Compared with the official singer, the popularity of the anchor is too far away. I think you understand that writing songs for the anchor will share the income."

It turned out to be the reason for sharing the income.

Indeed, no matter how good a song is, if it is sung by an anchor with limited popularity, it may not be able to sell well.

Besides, the better the song, the greater the loss if you sing it to the anchor.

These days, popularity and loyalty are the capital that makes people pay for it. People who were not famous before, even if they sing a song that is popular all over the country, there will not be many people who are willing to pay for it. go.

Zhao Shufeng could see Ding Ning's sophistication and self-confidence from Ding Ning's words.

Ordinary newcomer songwriters don't have the time to think about whether they are popular or not. It's not bad if they are willing to give them a share, let alone such a high share ratio.

For some reason, he decided that he was right. Ding Ning was confident, and he also believed in Ding Ning's self-confidence. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Shufeng said, "The percentage can be increased. How about 25%?"

Zhao Shufeng is also very generous, directly raised 10 percentage points, 25% share ratio, which has exceeded the industry standard, very generous.

However, Ding Ning still doesn't like this ratio after a rough thought.

People are greedy and full of fantasy. In fact, no matter how high the share ratio Zhao Shufeng sets, it may not be able to meet Ding Ning's requirements.

Because, what Ding Ning thinks is that even if he only takes 5% of a song for a popular star, it may be higher than getting 100% of the income from the anchor. None of it makes sense.

Since it is a deal, there is no need to beat around the bush. Ding Ning said bluntly: "It looks beautiful, but the reality is not very good. Even if I write songs for anchors, even if I get all the proceeds, I think it may not be higher than getting a low share from a star. "

If other rookies said this, Zhao Shufeng would definitely feel arrogant, ignorant and unreasonable.

Which star would want a song written by a newcomer? It would be nice if someone wanted it. This is the rhythm of Ding Ning's delusion to reach the sky in one step.

But the strange thing is that he even vaguely felt that Ding Ning's arrogance was justified.

In addition to being talented, a genius always has a bit of arrogance. The more confident Ding Ning is, the more he is willing to believe in Ding Ning's level.

Of course, Ding Ning's words made him very embarrassed.

He is not the actual owner of I Xiu, and the company also wants benefits. Due to various constraints, it is already difficult for him to ask for higher conditions for Ding Ning. When Ding Ning said this, he felt that the cooperation was probably worthless.

Zhao Shufeng was very disappointed. He found that he still underestimated Ding Ning.

Even if he should be the first to discover Ding Ning's talent, so what, in fact, the first to discover Ding Ning's talent is Ding Ning himself.

That's why Ding Ning was able to charge skyward prices without any fear, and he wanted to take advantage of Ding Ning because he was thinking too much.

"He disagrees?" Seeing Zhao Shufeng's solemn expression, Mi Xue, who had been watching Zhao Shufeng from the sidelines, couldn't help asking.

Zhao Shufeng didn't answer, but turned his head and smiled at Michelle with a disappointed expression.

Outside the car window, the bright sunlight slanted in, hurting his eyes.

Because of this pain, he closed his eyes reflexively, and then opened them again. What he saw was boundless light. He suddenly thought of something, and his originally forced smile suddenly became much more comfortable and natural.

Even if Ding Ning is unwilling to cooperate, he can completely give up.

Thinking about it carefully, he was overly entangled with Ding Ning, probably because of the heavy burden on his body, so it was rare to see an outstanding seedling, and this seedling tended to grow in a crooked way, so that he became a little anxious and lost his mind. .

Now, having given up on Ding Ning, he suddenly realized.

That's right, Ding Ning, a newcomer, missed it.

However, there are more people waiting for him to dig and cooperate, but there is no need to hang on the tree of Ding Ning. There are talents from all over the world. If you miss Ding Ning, you may be able to find better talents.

Especially when it comes to songwriters, he doesn't need to put all his attention on Ding Ning.

Just based on the price he offered Ding Ning, I don't know how many veterans are scrambling to get it. It's no problem to recruit a first-line expert. Will they be worse than Ding Ning?

The odds are slim.

Besides, the ability he saw from Ding Ning has not really been tested by the mass market, who knows if it is false prosperity.

The circle of live broadcasting is too small, and Ding Ning's exposure time is too short. It is very risky to speculate on the whole life in a moment.

"Since you said that, then I can only wish you a bright future." Even though he had figured it out in his heart, there was always disappointment, Zhao Shufeng smiled wryly and curled his lips: "However, young man, I give you a word, You also said it yourself. The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel."
