Four hundred and ninety-six chapters cooperation reached
Melvin William's first idea was ridiculous about Ye Weiyang's bet.
Even if the sales of one million copies are sold, it is difficult to reach the top of the sky. Even if the band is a white band, it is not easy for a newcomer to sell million copies in his first specialty.
What's more, they are still a yellow band that wants to enter the European and American music scene, and the difficulty is not as simple as doubled.
Not to mention the results of Ye Weiyang's subsequent 2 million, 3 million, and 4 million, which is even more whimsical.
Considering that the non-closing band is the most suitable candidate for Warner to explore the European and American Asian markets, Melvin William could only try his best to be tactful and said without hurting Ye Weiyang's self-esteem: "Mr. Ye, I hope you can understand that the European and American music scenes and the Chinese music scene are completely different worlds."
"Indeed, the non-closing band can achieve very dazzling results in the Chinese music scene. In this market where the music industry is not mature enough, it can also achieve sales of more than 6 million records, which can be said to have created a miracle."
"However, in the more mature European and American markets, you are a Chinese band and have no popularity base. It is not easy to sell more than one million copies if you want to sell first-time specialties."
"I believe that the band that never closes may be able to achieve such good results, but it should not be the first album, maybe the second or third one, we can achieve sales of one million, which is actually a very good result."
Melvin William just said to Ye Weiyang, don’t be too ambitious, think about reality down-to-earth, don’t think that you sell well in Chinese records, and you can also take it all in Europe and the United States.
But Ye Weiyang didn't feel that he was too ambitious. He ignored Melvin William's words and emphasized again: "But I hope our cooperation will be carried out in the form of this betting agreement."
"Anyway, such a contract is not harmful to Warner, isn't it?"
"I just want to win some of the benefits we deserve for our band. If we can really do our first-time product, we will sell millions of copies. I think such terms are also normal, right?"
He is absolutely unwilling to sign a record contract that can be divided into three 30% and 7% directly!
If the band really wants to release three albums on Warner, and they can only make 30% of the profits, Warner will make a lot of money!
Singers, first-tier superstars in Europe and the United States, and one album can sell hundreds or even tens of millions of copies. Their share is the opposite, and record companies can only get 20% or 30%.
There is no reason why the band is open, and an album that sells millions of copies can only be divided into 30%.
That’s right! Ye Weiyang is sure that the band’s English albums will definitely be sold out, and they will be sold out from the first one!
The benefits in the middle are too high, and he is not willing to give Warner more at all!
Melvin William was also puzzled by Ye Weiyang's persistence.
With his insights over the years of working at Warner, it is already a miracle that the first English band that can sell millions of copies in the United States can be sold.
Even if the sales volume of millions of copies is achieved, it is actually just to increase the share agreement of their subsequent albums to 50% share, which is a relatively common normal share ratio in the industry.
This condition is not too much and is indeed acceptable.
As for the highest total sales in the United States exceeding 3 million copies, and the global score of no less than 6 million copies, it is not a problem to change to a 70-30% share. This is the normal record share ratio of first-line singers in the American music industry.
If you agree to this clause, Warner actually doesn't have to pay any price. He just increases the publicity of the English major of the non-closing band by one level, and doubles the funding, which is equivalent to the previous contract promotion of two albums.
What I got was that the band of non-closing is no longer tied to Warner. If their first album fails, Warner can easily give up the band of non-closing without creating a follow-up album for them and continue to spend money on this bottomless pit.
This betting agreement is indeed not bad for Warner.
"If Mr. Ye, you insist on doing this, it's not impossible, but please allow me to communicate with the country." Melvin William nodded politely, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom, preparing to call the Warner headquarters in the country.
The phone call was quite long. After ten minutes of calling, Melvin William walked back into the box with his somewhat hot phone.
"Mr. Ye, you convinced me and Warner Music, we accept this bet agreement!"
Melvin William shook hands with Ye Weiyang with a smile and agreed to his seemingly crazy betting agreement.
This is indeed not harmful to Warner, isn't it?
At least, from Melvin William to the senior executives of the headquarters, Warner didn't think that the band's first English specialty could sell millions of copies, which was close to the top singers.
"So, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance." Melvin William said with a smile: "I will go back first to prepare a new contract, and then I will send it to your company by fax."
"Of course, I hope everything goes well."
A business negotiation that was quite happy, even if it was completed.
After seeing off Melvin William, Li Yating and Liu Yunqing, who had not spoken out just now, looked at Ye Weiyang with unknown emotions.
"Teacher Ye, your bet agreement is too crazy." Li Yating couldn't help it and said in confusion.
Not to mention Melvin William, even his own family was really shocked by Ye Weiyang's confidence.
Even this is no longer considered self-confidence, but self-confidence!
There has never been an internationally renowned singer in the Chinese music scene, and there is no precedent for Asians to become famous singers in Europe and the United States.
All Chinese music practitioners actually have a little bit of inferiority and admiration for the European and American markets.
After all, some European and American singers are quite well-known in China, but Chinese singers rarely go out.
Now the band is open for China to compete in the European and American markets. Ye Weiyang started a bet agreement with millions of sales, and did not even take hundreds of thousands of sales seriously.
It really makes people feel a little crazy if you think about reality.
Pudding and Yang Xiao were even more worried. They were not Ye Weiyang, and they were full of confidence in themselves no matter how long they were. They only felt that if Alexander now sells less than one million English products, the betting agreement would be equivalent to failure!
"Don't worry, since I dare to sign like this, I naturally have confidence that I can do it. This is a bet, not a bragging person, I know it in my heart."
Ye Weiyang still looked confident, blinked his eyes mischievously, and said relaxedly: "Besides, we are betting on the sales of English majors, and we didn't say that we can't pre-heat some singles before the official specials are released."
"The plan I mentioned before can be arranged."
