Entertainment: Starting from the king of crossover singers

Chapter 37 Talking about cooperation with Penguin Music (please collect, recommend)
"It's all so dark, I only get [-]-[-]% of my hard work writing and singing."

Ge Wu was a little speechless, feeling sad that earth entertainment products were prostituted for nothing.

"For ordinary musicians, this is not the music era of tapes and records, and music websites are the major players in distribution."

This is the horror of channel providers in the Internet age, and their status cannot be easily shaken.

Just cut it off, this thing can't be resisted, and now I want to build a music website comparable to the three major channel providers, which will consume a lot of financial resources and minds, not to mention the money, and it may not be successful.

First-mover advantage, plus years of accumulation, the barriers are very high.

Ge Wu asked another question. He hadn't paid much attention to the Huaguo music circle before. The only names he knew were people he knew, but people didn't know him. It was like Ye Wen was his fan. I never thought about it.

"Xu Ke, you said that this is the case for ordinary musicians, so there is still a special existence?"

"Well." Xu Gongjun nodded, and said, "Songwriters and singers with amazing appeal. For example, Ye Wen, after recording the little song "Crossover Singer" with you, Mr. Ge, the industry estimates that her share should be in the Fifty percent, or even higher. After all, her rising momentum is very stable, and there is no scandal, so there is a very small chance that she will collapse. There are still active singers, such people are completely a seller's market, belonging to the channel side object of fawning."

In this way, Ge Wu understood that these people are similar to Jay Chou on Earth, and they have amazing influence. If you go to a music website for operation, you can bring great benefits to the other party, and the natural treatment is extraordinary.

"Let's do it this way, Xu Ke. Let's tentatively decide on these three companies. Please communicate with the other party. How can I say that "Sudden Self" has also been trending, and its influence is not bad in the short term. Let's see if we can get a better contract. If you disagree, then choose Penguin, there is not much difference between [-]% and [-]%."

"Okay, it's my job, don't bother."

After finishing speaking, Xu Gongjun packed up his things and prepared to leave. Ge Wu told him again that the contract time should be as short as possible and not long-term contracts, so as not to be tied up in the future.

Hearing this, Xu Gongjun looked him up and down, but he was very surprised, very confident, and the plan was not small.

He said "Understood" and left.

Ge Wu was not idle either. Several waves of people from Fengmang came and wanted to invite him to perform commercially. Most of them were clients from bars and nightclubs, and they were all for "Sudden Self".

What about the price, about 20 yuan per show, which is quite a bargain.

Less than 5 minutes, 20 yuan, it is unimaginable if the salary is hourly.

After a few years of poor life, Ge Wu wanted to get all the calls without affecting training and recording, but unfortunately he couldn't.

There are also conditions and exclusivity clauses for the customers who come. After all, the nightclubs in Shanghai are quite concentrated.

Therefore, he chose a few that were relatively far away, at least one street away, and at the same time put forward his own conditions, no drinking.

Everything that enters the outside has to be weighed, let alone a nightclub.

In the end, a total of 3 companies were signed, with one show tomorrow night, and the remaining two shows will be after the recording of the next show. After being eliminated, I will be free and able to earn a little money to spend.

The latter two clubs were not chosen randomly. People from the frontier business department know the situation of these two nightclubs. There are relatively more customers, and the crowd is mostly around 30 years old, which is relatively civilized.

Ge Wu only agreed to this point, how good people are to gain more popularity, and civilization means that the place is relatively quiet.

He has never been too keen on such occasions as nightclubs, the smell of alcohol, cigarettes, perfume, and foot odor!

Psychedelic lighting, violent heavy metal music, and the whole scene exudes a hormonal smell, which makes me uncomfortable.

Apart from these two, he could actually sign more, but he thought that the price of commercial performances would probably be a little higher in the future, so he declined with excuses.

Others who did not reach a cooperation were not too disappointed. They felt that Ge Wu was worth the price, and maybe it would be cold soon. There are many such things in the entertainment industry.

After talking here, the time for the first show is tomorrow night. If you pay the money directly, the contract will be officially established.

"Teacher Ge, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

……

At noon the next day, Xu Gongjun had already run through the three music channel companies. Perhaps because of the popularity of the search, the three companies each gave up some benefits.

Ali was the most, giving up 1%.

Penguin was the least, giving up 0.5%.

The time is the same, at least one year, and it is exclusive, that is, "Sudden Self" can only be launched on one website, and the singer is not allowed to go to the opposite home within the specified time.

After weighing it for a while, Ge Wu still chose Penguin Music. In the Internet age, the income from paid downloads of songs can only be regarded as a small head, and the big head is commercial performances and concerts.

It is better to give up part of the download income and pursue more traffic.

Knowing his choice, Xu Gongjun clicked: "Penguin has a lot of traffic, which means that there is also a lot of competition. It is not so easy to get ahead."

"Well, I have thought about it. After all, is it a short-term contract? If it really doesn't work, I'll change it later."

Ge Wu couldn't go into too much detail, so he found a reason to prevaricate.

In the afternoon, Penguin Music Magic Metropolis Branch sent a vice president over, but Feng Mang didn't let him come.

Ge Wu is quite satisfied with this point. Although we are not big wrists now, the other party still has sincerity, and there is no big shop to bully customers.

The two parties had a pleasant conversation, and the other party praised the song "Sudden Self", which is full of free and easy and freehand, and will definitely use good publicity resources to promote this song.

I also praised Ge Wu, wishing him good results in "The King of Crossover Singers", full of talents and new works.

And promise, as long as the performance of the work is good, the sharing and promotion can be discussed again, and all data speak for themselves.

Ge Wu didn't hide it either, and directly asked what specific criteria this "good" needs to meet, and whether there is a clear value.

The other party drew a few roads, and the front was basically hard sales.

For example, the total paid downloads of the singer's works, including all the songs of the parties, reached 500 million times, seven three;

800 million, June [-]th;

1000 million, 2000 million, ... until the end, twenty-eight.

Moreover, after the number of paid downloads exceeds 5000 million, the subsequent increase in treatment is not just based on the total number of downloads.

There are also many parameters to consider, such as song reviews, the community activity established for singers on the website, and commercial value, etc.

After this talk, Ge Wu was dizzy and remembered the sales indicators. The people in the sharp business department wrote them down one by one, and asked many questions, and the other party answered them one by one, and even pointed out the sales indicators. , if the data is artificially manipulated, the background can be found.
