Four hundred and ninetieth chapters gambling agreement
The terms Warner can give are already the highest among all North American record companies that Rainbow Project has contacted.
They are willing to sign a record contract with the non-closing band for three albums and promise to put these three albums into reality in the next five years.
And they are willing to invest at least one million dollars in publicity for each album, promising that the band will not be treated unfairly in the North American market, and treat all the new North Americans equally!
And the band's first English album can be promoted by other official contracted artists of Warner. If possible, Warner is willing to arrange a second-tier singer under the company to help the band sing Feat and collaborate on a single to increase their popularity.
It is equivalent to bringing new things to the old, which are very common in both domestic and international music scenes.
The very popular song "Closer" is a smoker who is the old man who takes the newcomer and works with Monkey West. After this song became popular, Monkey West also won the Billboard Women's Year Award "The Most Breakthrough Newcomer", greatly increasing its popularity and exposure.
In order to allow the band Non-Close League to make some achievements in the United States, Warner is willing to let its second-tier female singers make a collaborative single with the band Non-Close League.
Don’t underestimate the second-tier singers, they are also quite famous singers in the international field!
Although it is not considered to be of Adele or Taylor Swift, it is also a singer of Spicy Chicken and A-sister.
If you are an ordinary newcomer, it is already very, very happy to be able to cooperate with singers of this level.
But Ye Weiyang is really not interested.
If these second-tier singers come to work with the non-closed band, it’s not certain whoever is breastfeeding!
In order to allow the band to quickly gain a foothold in the North American music scene, Ye Weiyang has prepared a lot of good songs!
If Warner provides songs for the non-closed band to collaborate with Warner's singers, Ye Weiyang really has no interest.
But if Ye Weiyang volunteers to provide the songs himself, he feels he is losing money!
He took a popular English song that was popular in his previous life and was very excellent, and he was very interested in cooperating with other singers in Warner. He was really not interested in doing such a good man!
The band does not need to take advantage of other singers’ popularity, and they are completely OK on their own!
So Ye Weiyang is really dissatisfied with Warner's cooperation agreement.
And the most dissatisfied thing is that Warner Leo spoke up and suddenly needed 70% of the record profits.
Although Warner needs to be responsible for publicity, production, and opening up North America's sales network, it does take a lot of effort, but 70% of the net profit is too much!
The European and American record market is more mature than China. It is not surprising that the number of singles sold tens of millions of copies is not surprising at all. There are many people who sell tens of millions of copies of official albums!
This cake is not small at all!
"Mr. William, why not, let's sign a bet agreement."
Faced with the bilingual Chinese and English contract handed over by Melvin William, Ye Weiyang had no intention of signing it.
This is also why he offered to negotiate with Melvin William today.
He has a bold contract plan.
Ye Weiyang smiled confidently and said to Melvin William calmly: "Mr. William, I think this clause is still too complicated, and I am not interested in some of the additional clauses."
"It's better to change our cooperation method."
"I know that Warner is still very worried about whether a Chinese band can achieve success in the European and American music scene and become famous, and he is not very confident. It will definitely not be easy for you to win such a contract, Mr. William."
"It's better to do this, I have a win-win cooperation program for Warner, and for our non-closing bands."
"Let's sign a bet agreement."
"It's also a record contract for three official albums in five years, but there are some trade-offs in terms of specific sharing and capital investment."
"We can divide the first album into three or seven according to Warner's requirements, but Warner must invest at least two million dollars in publicity funds and promise that during the album promotion period, we must make every effort to promote the non-closed band's market activities in North America, large variety shows, radio songs, and music stage resources. We must do our best to arrange them."
"With full promotion, if the band's first English album is sold in the United States with a total sales of more than 1 million copies and no less than 2 million copies worldwide, then the share of the second album is changed to a share of 55%."
"If the band's first English album is sold in the United States with a total sales of more than 2 million copies and no less than 4 million copies worldwide, then the subsequent album's cooperation share will be changed to 64% and 4%."
"If the band's first English album is sold in the United States with a total sales of more than 3 million copies and no less than 6 million copies worldwide, then the subsequent album's cooperation share will be changed to 70% and 30%."
"If the total sales of the band's first album does not exceed one million, then our cooperation can be terminated directly. Warner no longer needs to produce second and third specialties for the band's non-closing, and stop losses in time."
"Let's use an album to show the musical strength of our non-closing band and see if we can conquer European and American music fans, how about it?"
Ye Weiyang looked at Melvin William with great confidence. He looked at Melvin William with an attitude that the band's English albums would definitely be able to sell well around the world. That momentum made Melvin William have a momentum and felt that Ye Weiyang could really achieve sales of 6 million copies.
But soon, Melvin William shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Ye, although it is a good thing to be confident, excessive complacency is not a good thing."
"The sales of the newcomer's first album exceeded one million, and even in the European and American music scene, this is not something that can be achieved easily."
"It may take three to five years to see such an excellent new singer."
"As for the three million, four million, and five million you mentioned later, it is even more difficult to reach the sky. That's what you said in Chinese, right?"
"I can tell you very directly that the company's target expectations for the band's first English album are only 500,000 copies."
"If we can sell 500,000 copies, it would be a miracle, a miracle of a yellow-skinned band!"
Melvin William was really funny, Ye Weiyang was really dreaming.
A new band, and a yellow-skinned and dark-haired Chinese band, sells millions of albums if you want to debut in the United States?
What a joke?
It's not even a joke, it's a whimsical idea!
However, Ye Weiyang had no intention of joking. He smiled brightly, and his eight white teeth were exposed. It was very indifferent, and he even said with encouragement: "So, Mr. William, do you dare to bet on this bet agreement I proposed?"
"As you said, this should be a deal that benefits Warner more."
"Anyway, you don't think the first band can sell millions of copies in the open."
"If our first album fails, you can stop the loss in time. If I succeed by chance, you won't lose."
