Chapter 481 Sky-high contract

Han Jin finished singing the song "Temptation-are-not-alone" quickly, but the lingering sound was still lingering.

Wow!

After a long time, the audience cheered and gave Han Jin a warm applause.

Han Jin couldn't help feeling excited when he heard so much applause and cheers. "This feeling of worshipping thousands of people is so good!" He breathed a sigh of relief and then left the stage.

As soon as I returned to the backstage, I saw a figure rushing into his arms. When I looked closely, it was Guan Zhilin.

"A Jin, congratulations, you succeeded!" She also said with great joy for Han Jin.

Han Jin patted her on the back, "Thank you, I finally won't let this trip down this time."

Guan Zhilin couldn't help crying and shed tears excitedly. She was really happy for Han Jin to achieve such a result in the UK.

"A Jin, it's amazing. Even these British guys were shocked." At this time, Su Xiaoliang hurried over and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Su." Han Jin held Guan Zhilin's waist with one hand and thanked Su Xiaoliang.

Although Su Xiaoliang had guessed the relationship between Han Jin and Guan Zhilin, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw their unshirkable appearance. He thought that Han Jin was really brave and was not afraid of the scandal being exposed.

When Guan Zhilin saw Su Xiaoliang coming, she wanted to separate from Han Jin first. Because she had been taught by Han Jin, she was not allowed to have too close contact with him in front of outsiders. She was afraid that someone would find clues and reveal a scandal that would be detrimental to him.

But now Han Jin hugged her slender waist directly. He seemed to be no longer afraid that this relationship would be known, which made Guan Zhilin feel very surprised.

Han Jin was afraid that the rumors would affect his career and future before, but now he will soon become famous in the world. When he makes money from foreigners, they won't mind any scandals.

Rock bands in European and American countries are not related to sex and drugs. It is normal for a rock band to bring a lot of flesh and blood back to hold an unblocked conference after a rock band performs.

Not only do those fans not feel shameful, but instead think it is a kind of liberation and freedom. For example, those hip-hop singers have a large number of nightclubs, bikinis, sexual hints, etc. in MV. The lyrics are also full of words like "fxxk". But the more they are, the more popular they are.

Because the lives of ordinary Americans are actually very boring, the younger generation of Americans will always envy and admire those celebrity artists who spend money and money every time they spend money and are full of money. They yearn for the kind of luxurious and lewd life they can live.

This is also why "Two and Half Men" is because he is lustful in the play! The chaotic life is a microcosm of him in real life.

He has to change a bed companion in almost every episode of the drama, and he is also plagued by scandals in real life. Recruiting prostitutes, drunkenness, and taking drugs is a complete set of five poisons. The whole "Two and Half Men" is almost like his reality show, and this drama became popular because of his random things.

Han Jin was afraid that the exposure of scandals would affect his financial journey. But if he now enters the European and American markets, this market will be much larger than that in Asia.

On the one hand, it is a greater interest, enjoying as you wish; on the other hand, it is a smaller interest, an ascetic life. It is natural to say which one Han Jin should choose.

So even in front of Su Xiaoliang today, Han Jin did not let Guan Zhilin go, but directly exposed his relationship to him.

He also believed that Su Xiaoliang would take good care of his mouth and talk nonsense. Anyway, he was looking for excuses to leave Huaxing now. If Su Xiaoliang could provide him with an excuse, it would be the best.

Su Xiaoliang just smiled slightly, and then reported the negotiations to Han Jin, as if he ignored the scene in front of him.

He also knew that Han Jin's wings were hard and could fly out at any time. He was still in the company now, just because of a relationship between a guest and host.

So he must not expose this layer of window paper, otherwise once Han Jin leaves Huaxing Records, he will not be demoted to the eighteenth level of hell by Sir Shao?!

"A Jin, the conditions for offering Eidien Records, Polykin Records, and Viking Records are pretty good now. Your royalties are all 15% to 20%." Su Xiaoliang explained with a smile to Han Jin.

For singer-songwriters like Han Jin, there are two things that are most concerned about when signing a contract with a record company. On the one hand, it is the issue of sharing records royalties.

In this regard, the share ratios of newcomers, second-tier singers, first-tier singers, and superstars are different. Newcomers can get about 10%; second-tier singers can get 15% to 18%; first-tier singers can get more than 19% to 20%; superstars can even get 25%, which is almost the same as those of record companies.

Eighteen Records and Polykin Records offer price tags for Han Jin from 15% to 18%, which is obviously treated as a second-tier singer. Viking Records offer price tags for Han Jin at 20%, which already regards him as a first-tier singer.

Han Jin also knew that companies like EMI Records and Polygon Records have great families and numerous singers, and have a high influence all over the world. Therefore, the store is a big bully of customers. Even the artists of all major brands have to bow their heads when facing these music overlords.

Viking Records is just a small company, and it has only been established for more than ten years. Neither capital nor influence in the industry can compete with giants like Edge and Polygon. Therefore, they urgently need to recruit capable singers to contribute to their development.

Joining a large record company like EDA and Polykin, although the royalty commission is reduced a little, it has a higher development platform, which may also make Han Jin jump higher.

If you join Viking Records, there are fewer big-name stars in small companies and easier resources to concentrate. If you make achievements, you will be the number one Viking player. The so-called "more to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail" is also a choice for Han Jin.

In addition to the sharing of record royalties, there is another noteworthy aspect of signing, which is the future planning of record companies for artists. What can they do for artists in the future, how much can they invest in them, and how much career map can they help them develop...

These are not just empty words. Smart singers will ask these terms to be written into the contract, such as how many times they are on the cover of first-line magazines every year, how many times they are interviewed by the media; how many times they are on radio, TV, and newspapers to promote; how many times they are on albums, how many times they are on record stores to conduct promotions, how many times they are on newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio stations, etc.

Each one must be written into the contract. Only in this way can the singer's basic interests be guaranteed. Otherwise, after signing into the company, although they get a signing fee, they just leave you alone and don't do any publicity for you. Then, will the singer waste several years of time in vain?

Such a situation is not uncommon in the music industry. It seems that Chen Baiqiang was poached by Pan Disheng to Debao Records back then, but he did not promote it well, which made him depressed in the mid-1980s.

When Xiao Tianxiu Xiao Yaxuan debuted, she sold her records on Viking Records and was named the first of the four big and small queens. She was far superior to Cai Yilin back then, but because she changed jobs to Warner and was refrigerated for three years, she has become a different world when she came out of the music industry.

Han Jin has been through it, so he naturally knows this, so he is also very concerned about this matter.

For him, the amount of contract is not important, because the money is made from the sheep, and it is all his own money, and there is no problem more or less.

The signing fee hit a sky-high price of 890 million US dollars, but he sold his whole life to this vampire company.

Of course, Sony Records is not a good place to open a good house. In order to make a return of 890 million US dollars in investment, even if he is not satisfied with the quality of the new album, it must be released under the urging of Sony Records.

Moreover, Sony Records has invested 890 million US dollars in early stage and is unwilling to invest huge amounts of money in publicity, otherwise the pressure on record companies will be too great.

In this way, the "Dange Meats" was estimated to have sales of 100 million copies, but in the end it only sold 26 million copies. Although it was still quite impressive, it did not satisfy Sony Records.

Of course, Han Jin is not so short-sighted. He doesn't ask for a sky-high contract, nor does he pursue a false reputation with the highest value. That title is just to coax fans who don't know how to behave, and he cares about real things.

"A Jin, which one do you think you're better to choose? I think Polykin's signing fee is quite high, with $18 million." Su Xiaoliang said with a smile, "Viking records are only $5 million, and Eidi Records are $15 million."

Hearing these record companies offered such high prices for Han Jin, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but open her mouth wide, hugged Han Jin's arm and cheered, "Wow, A Jin, you're making a fortune now. There's 18 million US dollars!"

Han Jin also smiled, but he didn't expect that he was quite valuable, with 18 million US dollars indeed making him very moved.

However, he waved his hand, "Mr. Su, don't worry, let's just leave these record companies first. I think the United States should take action now, and there may be better conditions at that time."

"You are right. Your performance is so successful, everyone knows that you will be popular. Those American record companies are not just for a good meal, and they will definitely come to grab yours." Su Xiaoliang laughed and said, "A Jin, you are really going to make a fortune this time."

"Mr. Su, there is no need to be too demanding about the signing fee, but the wool comes from the sheep. Now that the currency is depreciating so quickly, money is becoming less and less valuable. In my opinion, it is better to flow slowly." Han Jin reminded with a smile again.

What he was worried about was that Su Xiaoliang was too short-sighted and only focused on pursuing sky-high signing fees, completely ignoring other things that should be paid attention to, so he had to warn him.

Su Xiaoliang is now equivalent to Han Jin's agent. The higher the contract, the more the company will get a prize. Su Xiaoliang is likely to give up long-term interests and choose immediate interests because of this. This is naturally harmful to Han Jin, because the brokerage company makes RMB, but it takes Han Jin's future as the price.

After hearing Han Jin's warning, Su Xiaoliang couldn't help but look shaking. Although he was saying it with a smile, Su Xiaoliang could hear the meaning hidden in Han Jin's words.

He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Don't worry, A Jin, I know everything. You have told me what to pay attention to, I will definitely take good care of it."

Before the negotiations, Han Jin had already told Su Xiaoliang two important things he needed to pay attention to. What he was worried about was that Su Xiaoliang was ignorant of everything, but was deceived by the old foxes from British record companies.

Han Jin nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Su."

Su Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll continue to deal with them. A Jin, just wait for my good news." After that, he walked away hurriedly.

"A Jin, are you stupid? It's 18 million US dollars! As long as you nod, you will be in your pocket, why not?" Guan Zhilin said with a painful face. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
