Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

For the sake of the album, Cao Gong even asked his manager to fly back to handle the matter.

After Chen Yu returned to China, she immediately went to the person in charge of the Penguin Music platform to discuss

“No, no, no, the album has 10 songs and is priced at 4 yuan. It really doesn’t work.”

“An album with 10 songs, you price it at 4 cents, 40 cents per song?”

“impossible.”The person in charge of Penguin Music waved his hand and refused.

“The problem is that there are only two new songs in this album. The other songs are: Encounter, Quiet, All the Way North, Birthday Gift, Liang Shanbo and Juliet, Serious Snow, Xiao Tong (Xiao Wei), and Mischief…”

“These 8 songs are not new songs, they have all been released. My Cao Gong said that there are only two new songs, so just charge the fees for these two songs.”

The director of Penguin Music waved his hand and disagreed with the pricing.

He is not stupid. He knows that Cao Gong’s album must be highly anticipated.

According to last year’s album, it had sales of more than one billion. The two albums have sales of more than one billion. Sales, this album, even if Cao Gong has said that everyone should not waste money to boost sales for him, the sales will definitely be very good.

And it is precisely because of Cao Gong that he has vaccinated his fans. , I hope they don’t spend more money to buy him albums and create beautiful sales figures. In this way, sales will definitely be greatly reduced.

Even if it’s like this, the price is still so low, of course their platform is not happy, and of course they want to earn more than 100 million points

“It can’t be that low, even if 8 songs are not new songs”

“But if you include it, there will be a fee.”

“Our platform will give you the channel information fee for this album, and our labor will also cost money.”

Of course the platform is smart. If the singer’s album is priced high and the sales are good, then the platform will get 27 points more.

Take the sales of 1 million copies as an analogy.

10 million copies, priced at 4 yuan each, the sales volume is 4,000 10,000, the platform takes 70%, that is, 28 million, and Cao Gong can get 12 million.

10 million pieces, priced at 30 yuan each, the sales are 300 million, the platform takes 70%, that is, 2 10 million, Cao Gong can get 90 million.

They are all selling 10 million copies, and the pricing is different, so the platform’s share is also different.

According to this share, if it is really priced at 4 yuan, Cao Gong’s 12 million , compared to 90 million, it is just a shortfall of 78 million.

But what about Penguin Music? Compared to 210 million, 28 million is a shortfall of 182 million.

Of course, the platform is not willing to accept this gap.

More What’s more, it’s hard to say whether this album can sell 10 million copies.

Because Cao Gong has been vaccinated, he hopes that fans will not spend money on him to make data.

If this happens, it will definitely have an impact.

Originally , It had an impact. As a result, Cao Gong set the price so low. Of course they were not happy.

It was all money. Penguin Music certainly couldn’t agree to it.

“Director Li, what would you say is the appropriate price?”

“An album costs 40 yuan.”Director Li said unceremoniously.

“Director Li, if you talk like this, then we will not cooperate.”

“You, Penguin Musicians, have a big business. You provide a platform and charge 70% of the sales. Most of the sales are divided by you. But the album is priced so high. When the time comes, our artists will be scolded, but they will get less. Yes, you took it and you still don’t get scolded, why?”

Chen Yu is not a fool. What’s more, Cao Gong told her. She can have a tougher attitude. At worst, she won’t cooperate with Penguin Music.

After all, the music platform is not only Penguin Music. At worst, it will be with NetEase.

As for Kugou, forget it. Because the major shareholder of Kugou is also Goose Factory.

Director Li of Penguin Music is also very embarrassed. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, it is indeed true.

“Then 3 yuan is enough, right? This is the market price and the general trend”

“All singers release albums for 3 yuan each”

“This album has as many songs as you like, and each song costs 3 yuan.”Director Li suggested

“Impossible, my artist said, at most 10 yuan, this album”

“And we still have to bear the stigma, because in this album, 9 songs are not new songs, so theoretically, they cannot be charged; and this album has 11 songs, only two new songs”

“The price of 10 yuan is already considered as 5 yuan for a new song.”

“When the album is released, our artists may still be scolded for this.”

“Not to mention, the entire album costs 30 yuan.”Chen Yu’s attitude is very tough.

Because this is what Cao Gong told her, she is not afraid that Goose Factory will not agree, because they also want to make money.

Why? Because Penguin Music actually loses money every year.

For Penguin Music, which loses money, He said that if Cao Gong, who can make money by releasing albums, is not caught, and Cao Gong is released by his competitor NetEase Music, it will be a fatal blow to Penguin Music.

“2.5 yuan a song.”Director Li was embarrassed and took a step back again.

“No, Director Li, 10 yuan is the bottom line for our artists. There is no way to compromise anymore.”

“If it doesn’t work, we will go to NetEase to cooperate. Of course, if Director Li thinks that we are threatening you, then fine, our artists will not release this album at worst, and will release it on 1ive.”

“Otherwise, post the MV on Weibo”

“And think about it for yourself, if an album costs 10 yuan and sells 10 million, the sales will be 100 million; if your platform achieves 7, it will be 70 million.”

“If we can’t negotiate a cooperation, if our artist releases this album, you won’t even get 70 million, and you may lose a certain amount of Kuoku Music users because of this.”

“For you, this is not worth the gain, right?”

Chen Yu’s words made Director Li feel very aggrieved. There is nothing wrong with what he said, whether it was rough or not.

Cao Gong is not short of money, and he doesn’t want to make money from fans now, because Fans’ money will influence his thoughts when he falls in love or something.

But if Cao Gong doesn’t make money from fans and distributes his songs for free.

In this way, if fans don’t spend money for him, how can he talk about it? It doesn’t matter if you’re in love. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Moreover, Cao Gong himself is not short of money, so of course he doesn’t care about these tens of millions.

At worst, he won’t publish it. This is for For him, there is no loss at all.

But the same cannot be said for QQ Music. Such a big platform is losing money every year. They finally have a profitable album, and of course they don’t want to let it go.

“If I can contact your artist, I will talk to him personally. Director Li asked in distress.

“Let me try it.”This is what Chen Yu heard Cao Gong say before.

If the negotiation cannot be resolved, the director of KouKou Music will definitely call him.

After the call was made, Cao Gong got the mobile phone from his assistant:”Sister, how are you doing?”

“Is that so? After learning from the agent, Cao Gong knew:”Give him the phone number.””

“Hello Cao Gong, I am Director Li of KouKou Music.”Director Li introduced himself

“Director Li, I’m very busy here, so I won’t talk nonsense with you and will tell you the truth.”

“If you want my album to be priced high and you want to get a high commission, I’m definitely not happy with it.”

“After all, the price is high and you get a lot, but it’s me who gets scolded in the end. I’m not that stupid.”

“I’m not another singer. I don’t have to rely on your platform to release songs and gain popularity.”

“Unlike them, I need to release albums to make money, so I let your platform take the profits.”[]

“I don’t agree to make concessions. In fact, the benefits are unevenly distributed, so I won’t make concessions.”

“As long as your platform benefits me and I feel comfortable, everything will be fine, right?”

“Isn’t this how business is discussed? Right, Director Li.”

These words hit the heart of Director Li, because he heard it and knew Cao Gong’s plan.

KouKou Music takes 70% of the albums released by every singer who releases albums on their platform.

No matter you No matter how big a singer they are, whether they are kings or top-tier singers, they all get a 70% share.

This is because if they don’t publish here, they can only go to NetEase, and NetEase doesn’t have so many users.

In other words, if If you don’t release an album, then you won’t be able to accumulate popularity or make money.

That’s why all 343 singers can only agree to 70% of the sales from Kuoku Music.

But Cao Gong is not them, because he If you don’t want to earn fans, it doesn’t matter whether you post or not.

First, he is not short of money, which is his greatest confidence.

Second, if the Kuukou platform fails, he will go to NetEase; anyway, there will be many people who want his songs. He has the confidence to choose NetEase and does not need to worry. With this confidence, Cao Gong will certainly be able to take the initiative when talking to them.

“I understand, divided into four and six points.”Director Li knows what Cao Gong means.

“A pleasure to work with.”Director Li is so smart, so of course Cao Gong stopped talking.

After Director Li gave the phone back to Chen Yu, he then asked someone to prepare a contract.

But Chen Yu stopped him and took out the contract he had prepared.

Look. When Chen Yu prepared the contract, Director Li realized that Cao Gong had planned it from the beginning. He even prepared the contract, and Cao Gong had signed it.

Just put the music signature on it. , this will take effect.

Otherwise, you may have to go back and forth again, which is very troublesome.

The final price is 3 yuan per album, and 11 songs is 33 yuan per album.

Sales of 10 million copies are 3.3 60% is 198 million; 4 is 132 million.

If an album is priced at 22 yuan, the sales volume of 10 million is 220 million.

70% of 220 million is 154.

The price is 33 yuan and the share is 22 yuan. , a difference of 44 million.

If a song is priced at 3 yuan, even if the original 70% dividend is paid out, it will be 10%. The final dividend will definitely be higher than the price of 22 yuan per song, or 20 yuan per song. For one yuan, you get more for an album.

And Cao Gong needs 10% more dividends because he is on guard against being scolded for pricing the album too high this time. With

10% more dividends, even if he is scolded, he can Accepted.

But it would be too aggrieved if he was scolded when the dividends remained unchanged.

At this time, he must fight for himself, and he can’t always take advantage of KuaKou Music, right?
