Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

For the sake of the album, Cao Gong also specially asked his agent to fly back to deal with this matter.

After Chen Yu returned to China, he immediately found the person in charge of the Penguin Music platform to discuss.

"No, no, no, the album has 10 songs, and the price is 4 yuan, which is really not good. "

"10 songs on an album, you price 4 cents, 4 cents a piece?"

"Impossible. The head of Penguin Music waved his hand and refused.

"The problem is, this album, there are only two new songs, the other songs: Encounter, Quiet, All the Way North, Birthday Present, Liang Shanbo and Juliet, Serious Snow, Xiao Tong (Xiaowei), Prank..."

"These 8 songs are not new songs, they have already been released, my family Cao Gong said that there are only two new songs, so just charge the cost of these two songs. "

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

He is not stupid either, and knows that Cao Gong's album must be highly anticipated.

According to last year's album, it was more than a billion sales.

The sales of the two albums are more than 100 million, and this album, even if Cao Gong said that it would be good for everyone not to spend money to sell him, this sales will definitely be very good.

And it is precisely because of Cao Gong that he has given fans a preventive shot, and I hope that he will not spend more money to buy albums for him to make beautiful sales figures, so that sales will definitely be greatly reduced.

It's all like this, the pricing is still so low, of course their platform is not happy, of course they want to make more 100 million points.

"That's not going to be so low, even if 8 songs aren't new. "

"But if you get in, there's a charge. "

"Our platform gives you the channel information fee for this album, and our labor also needs money. "

Of course, the platform is shrewd, the singer's album is priced high, and if the sales are good, then the platform will have 27 more.

Let's take the analogy of 1 million copies sold.

10 million, the price is 4 yuan, the sales volume is 40 million, and the platform is divided into 7 percent, that is, it can be divided into 28 million, and Cao Gong can be divided into 12 million.

10 million, the price is 30 yuan, the sales are 300 million, and the platform draws 7 percent, that is, 210 million can be shared, and Cao Gong can get 90 million.

It is all a sales volume of 10 million copies, and the pricing is different, and the platform is divided into different parts.

According to this share, if it is really priced at 4 yuan a piece, Cao Gong is 12 million, compared to 90 million, it is only 78 million less.

But for their penguin music, 28 million is 182 million less than 210 million.

Of course, the platform is unwilling to accept this kind of gap.

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

Because Cao Gong has been vaccinated, I hope fans don't spend money on impulse data for him.

If it goes down like this, it will definitely have an impact.

It already had an impact, but Cao Gong set the price so low, of course they weren't happy

It's all money, and they Penguin Music certainly can't agree to it.

"Director Li, what do you say, how much is the right price?"

"40 dollars for an album. Director Li said unceremoniously.

"Director Li, if you talk like that, then we won't cooperate. "

"You penguin musicians have a big career, they provide a platform, and they ask for 7 percent of the results, and most of the sales are divided by you, but the album price is so high, and when our artists are scolded, they will take less, and you will not be scolded, why?"

Chen Yu is not a fool, not to mention, there is also what Cao Gong told her.

The attitude can be tougher, and if it's a big deal, I won't cooperate with Penguin Music.

After all, the music platform is not only Penguin Music, but also NetEase

As for Kugou, forget about this, because the major shareholder of Kugou is also a goose factory.

Penguin Music's Director Li is also embarrassed, although he doesn't want to admit it, but it is true

"That's okay for 3 yuan, right? This is the market price, and it's also the trend of the times. "

"All singers release albums, and they all cost 3 yuan a song. "

"It's good to have as many songs as you want on this album, and it's 3 yuan for a song. Director Li proposed.

"Impossible, my artist said, at most 10 yuan, this album. "

"And we also have to bear the infamy, because this album, there are 9 songs that are not new songs, theoretically speaking, you can't charge for it, and this album is 11 songs, two new songs. "

"The price of 10 yuan is already 5 yuan for a new song. "

"When the album is released, our artists may be scolded for this. "

"Not to mention, the whole album is 30 bucks. "Chen Yu's attitude is very tough.

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

Why? It's because Penguin Music actually loses money every year.

For Penguin Music, which is losing money, if you don't catch Cao Gong, who can make money by releasing albums now, if Cao Gong releases it to its 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, this is the bottom line of my artist, and I can't make any more concessions. "

"It's really not good, let's go to NetEase to cooperate, of course, if Director Li thinks that we are threatening you, then okay, our family artist, it's a big deal not to release this album, just sing 1ive and release it. "

"Otherwise, post a MV on Weibo. "

"And if you think about it yourself, if an album costs 10 yuan and sells 10 million, the sales volume is 100 million, and the 7 achievements on your platform are 70 million. "

"If we can't talk about cooperation, our family artist will release this album, and you won't even be able to share 70 million, and you may lose a certain number of deduction music users because of this. "

"It's not worth the loss for you, isn't it? "

Chen Yu's words made Director Li very aggrieved.

This is not rough, and there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

Cao Gong is not bad for money, and he doesn't want to make money from fans now, because if he makes money from fans, when he falls in love or something, fans will influence his thoughts.

But once Cao Gong doesn't make money from fans, he will release his songs for free.

In this way, fans didn't spend money on him, and it didn't matter how he fell in love. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And Cao Gong himself is not bad for money, of course, he doesn't take these tens of millions to heart.

It's a big deal, and it's not a loss at all.

But it's not good to buckle music, such a big platform is losing money every year.

It's finally time to have a money-making 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.

"I'll give it a try. This is also what Chen Yu heard Cao Gong say before.

If the negotiation fails, the director of Buckle Music will definitely call him.

When the call came, Cao Gong got the mobile phone from the assistant: "Sister, how is it?"

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

"Hello Cao Gong, I'm Director Li of Buckle Music. Director Li introduced himself.

"Director Li, I'm very busy here, so I won't talk nonsense with you, just talk about it. "

"You want my album to be priced high, and you want to get a high score, and I'm not happy about it. "

"After all, the price is high, and you have a lot of shares, but in the end it was me who was scolded, and I wasn't so stupid. "

"I'm not another singer, I don't have to rely on your platform to post songs and accumulate popularity. "

"I'm not like them, I need to release albums to make money, so let your platform cut the share. "[]

"I don't agree to make concessions, in fact, it's an uneven distribution of benefits, so I don't make concessions. "

"As long as your platform gives me profits and I feel comfortable, then everything is easy to say, isn't it?"

"Isn't that how business is all talked? "

These words hit Director Li's lifeline, because he heard it and knew Cao Gong's plan.

Buckle Concert takes a 70% cut from the album released by every singer who releases an album on their platform.

No matter how big a singer you are, whether you are a king or a top performer, you will get 70% of the share.

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

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

That's why, all 343 hands of songs can only agree to cut 70% of the sales of the music.

But Cao Gong is not them, because he doesn't want to earn fans, it doesn't matter if he sends it or not.

First, he is not short of money, which is the biggest confidence

Second, if the buckle platform doesn't work, he will go to NetEase, anyway, there will be many people who choose NetEase for his songs, he has the confidence and doesn't need to worry

With this kind of confidence, Cao Gong will of course be able to grasp the initiative when he talks to them.

"I understood, divided into four or six. Director Li knew what Cao Gong meant.

"It was a pleasure to work with. "Director Li is so smart, of course Cao Gong is not verbose.

After Director Li gave Chen Yu the mobile phone, he then asked people to prepare the contract.

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

Seeing the contract prepared by Chen Yu, Director Li realized that Cao Gong had planned this from the beginning, and even the contract was ready, and Cao Gong had signed it on it.

Just snap the music signature and it will take effect.

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

The final price is 3 yuan a song, and 11 songs are 33 yuan an album.

10 million copies sold, that is, 330 million, 6 percent is 198 million, and 4 is 132 million

If it is priced at 22 yuan for an album, the sales of 10 million will be 220 million.

7 percent of 220 million is 1.54.

The share of 33 yuan and 22 yuan is 44 million

If the price is 3 yuan for a song, even if the original 7 ingredients are red, it is good to let the profits out.

In the end, the dividends will definitely be more than the price of 22 yuan a piece, or 20 yuan for an album.

And Cao Gong needs to get more than one percent of the dividends, also to beware of being scolded if the price of this album is too high.

The dividend is one percent more, even if he is scolded, he can accept it.

But if you are scolded when the dividends remain unchanged, it will be too aggrieved.

At this time, he must fight for himself, and he can't always take advantage of the buckle music.
