Starting from Summoning Su Shi to Build an Entertainment Empire

Chapter 109 Budget

"Mr. Lu, we are going to participate in the award ceremony of the original music competition held by the Music Association the day after tomorrow. Zi Zhan and Si Tian are expected to go out, and Yue Ting, boss, you and Tai Bai have both received invitations." At this moment, Lu Weizhou was in the scriptwriting studio , Yang Qin is also here.

The main workplace of Spring and Autumn Entertainment has been transferred to the office building, and the ordinary employees here no longer need to come here.

"Well, there are no problems in these aspects, are the dresses ready?" Lu Weizhou nodded.

"Ready." Yang Qin nodded.

"How much money does the company have after our competition is over?" Lu Weizhou asked seriously.

"This time Zizhan's "When Will the Moon Come" sold 3.3 million times. According to the 2.97% share, we can get 7678 million. In addition, boss, your "Laughing Red Dust" has a final sales volume of 6910.2 million, and we can get 3.66 million share. The total is [-] million, and "When Will the Moon Come" will be shared by Zizhan according to your instructions, the boss."

"The company got about 6000 million funds, plus your boss's money, if you are willing to invest in the company, it will be 1.29 million. Counting the remaining more than 1000 million in our current account, and the next Taibai The remuneration share over there is 900 million, and our company has close to 1.5 million in the account."

"Of course, this does not include the signing of the exclusive copyrights of "When Will the Moon Come" and "Laughing Red Dust". According to past experience, if the copyright fees of first-line singers are exclusively bought out for three years, it will be about 8 to 10 billion. But these are songs owned by a singer, and there may be dozens or even hundreds of songs.”

"If it's a song, with the fame of "When Will the Moon Come", the licensing fee for three years will be about 1500 million, because many people don't buy it now, they just wait for it to be acquired by the platform, and then they can directly use it as a VIP. Listen to songs for free. So we still have a lot of market space, and "Laughing Red Dust" is about 500-700 million."

"This second authorization of copyright does not need to be divided into Zizhan. That is to say, our company can still earn about 2000 million in the future, and the total capital will reach 1.7 million." Yang Qin introduced to Lu Weizhou, "Of course, Boss, you have to invest all of this part of the funds into the company, otherwise, part of it is your personal funds, boss."

In fact, there is no difference between private individuals and companies, because at present, Spring Entertainment has one and only one shareholder, and that is Lu Weizhou.So the company belongs to Lu Weizhou.

Copyright authorization fee and artist's share are settled separately. For example, take the upcoming "Yulin Ring" as an example. All copyrights of this album belong to Spring Entertainment.

After the release of this album, the company will share [-]% of the income, and Mei Yueting will share [-]%. Among them, Liu Yong, who is the songwriter, will share with Mei Yueting.

Mei Yueting is willing to share with Liu Yong fifty-fifty. This is a negotiation between two people, and Lu Weizhou and the others have no right to interfere.

Theoretically speaking, after Mei Yueting and Liu Yong's share ends, the company still has to divide the part of the funds Liu Yong received into [-]%. Of course, these details can be discussed. For this time, Lu Weizhou no.

Then the licensing fee for the copyright is the four major music platforms, Penguin, Yiyun, Teana, and Mige. No matter which one wants to become the exclusive platform for releasing Mei Yueting's digital album, it must pay a signing fee. .

This signing fee is a licensing fee for the copyright, which will not be shared with the artist.

The general operation of the industry is like this, which is why many established music companies in the circle, even if they are lonely, still have a lot of income every year just relying on the copyright library.

This is actually very complicated. For example, a song has complete copyright. The copyright belongs to the songwriter and is separate. If the songwriting is not the same author, then it belongs to different authors.

And often songwriters will sell the copyright to some record companies, such as "When Will the Moon Come" because Su Shi is a contracted artist of Spring and Autumn Entertainment. For example, [-]% of the proceeds this time will go to Su Shi, but the copyright belongs to Spring and Autumn Entertainment.

As for the subsequent secondary authorization of copyright, some require the original author to continue to share, some do not, and some do not need within a certain period of time. These all depend on the contract.

As for the singer, if the singer wants to sing this song, then he must contact the copyright owner. If Mei Yueting is not a signed artist of Spring and Autumn Entertainment, then if Mei Yueting wants to sing "Yulin Ring", she must contact Spring and Autumn Entertainment. According to the current contract, Mei Yueting paid [-]% of the sales revenue to get the right to sing this album.

Of the [-]%, [-]% is for Liu Yong, and [-]% is for Spring and Autumn Entertainment.

That’s probably the case. Each company’s accounting method is different. Like the newcomer contract that Lu Weizhou signed before. If he had written Xiao Hongchen before the contract was terminated, he would have paid a dime for this original music competition. I can't get the money either.

Oh, it can't be said that you can't get a dime. After the company gets the share, it will give him another [-]%, and this [-]% needs to be calculated for various tax deductions. They eat people without spitting out their bones.

What really makes money is capital.

And this "Yu Linling" album will not need to be divided into Liu Yong and Mei Yueting's copyright licensing fees with the four major platforms.

Of course, after the end of the copyright authorization period purchased by the platform this time, if the period is three years, and three years later, when the platform purchases again, this time the authorization fee will need to be shared with them.

"If you include the licensing fee for Mei Yueting's album, how much can we have?" Lu Weizhou asked after thinking for a while.

"At least more than 3 million." Yang Qin roughly gave a figure, that is to say, the three-year licensing fee for "Yulin Ling" is about 1.3 million to 1.5 million.

This is the licensing fee. To put it another way, it's just an entry fee for buying, and it doesn't count the money from the sale of "Yulin Ling" on the licensing platform. Those money is discussed separately.

"That is to say, enough for us to make a TV series." Lu Weizhou took a deep breath.

Now that the funds are available, the script has been completed, and even the director Lu Weizhou, Lu Weizhou of course will be filming "Langya Bang".

"Enough is enough. If you follow your plan, boss, without inviting big-name stars, and use our own artists and special effects, this TV series with 50-60 episodes is enough. But... Boss, if you fail If it fails, it will be a huge loss." Yang Qin was a little worried.

"It's not that big. Even if we lose half of the film, we still have 1.5 million yuan. The money is not too much for our company, but if we succeed, Spring Entertainment can grow rapidly." Lu Weizhou He said seriously, "I believe in our strength."

"That...boss, are you sure you want to be the director yourself?" Yang Qin glanced at Lu Weizhou tentatively.

"Yes, don't worry, I will shoot two episodes first and show you guys. If it doesn't work, I'll hire someone." Lu Weizhou smiled. He knew that Yang Qin didn't believe that he could make a good movie.
