Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 168 President Qin!!

Zeng Yi, Ling Hua and Li Yugang were frightened by Qin Chuan's laughter.

We are not children anymore, we all know that free things are the most expensive.

The freer Qin Chuan is, the more afraid they are.

Zeng Yi still said with a stiff upper lip: "Brother Chuan, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"It's okay. I'll translate it for you." Qin Chuan stretched out his hand, and Wang Tingting handed him a contract: "It means you have signed a contract with Qin Dynasty Entertainment, and you can sing this song for free."

The three of them understood.

This is to issue an imperial decree of amnesty.

But isn't it a bit too much to appease them with just one song?...it is indeed enough.

To put it bluntly, the three of them are not big stars, and they are not even third-tier stars in the Chinese music scene. It is not a bad thing for them to be signed by Qin Chuan's company.

Come up and give a song of this quality.

President Chuan is thoughtful and sincere.

The three of them took the contract with great joy, looked at it, and their faces immediately turned green.

The contract is for ten years, with a 30:70 split, 30 for them and 70 for the company. All copyrights belong to the company.

Qin Chuan finally became the person he hated the most.

This guy hated this kind of contract the most in the beginning, and now he is ruthless in using it.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Qin Chuan asked the three people with a smile.

Selling songs is not the goal. A song only makes a few dollars. Once the singer is hired, you can make as much money as you want in the future.

There are some songs that Qin Chuan cannot sing, and it would be a pity to leave them alone, and there is no need to sell them to others.

Why not just recruit a group of capable people, distribute these songs, and let them work for you and make a lot of money.

When they were on the Star Boulevard, he had his eyes on the two runners-up and third place winners, both of whom were money-makers, so he wouldn't lose money if he signed them.

Qin Chuan had no strength before, but now he has money and a company under his control, and it is his turn to become a capitalist.

Zeng Yi swallowed his saliva: "Isn't this contract period a bit high?"

For ordinary singers, the flowering period is only about ten years.

The hair of first-line singers is slightly longer, but not much longer.

All singers have a period of exhaustion and there will always be a day when they are out of fashion. Just look at the Four Heavenly Kings. They were so popular ten years ago, but now their popularity has been ended by young people like Jay Chou, Qin Chuan, and Nicholas Tse.

Zeng Yi set his blooming period at ten years, which was considered a compliment to himself. If he could remain popular for ten years, he would burn incense and pray to Buddha every day.

Qin Chuan said seriously: "This is the bottom line, there is no room for negotiation. After you join the company, the company has been paying for the first few years, and only in the next few years will it make money. It's not possible for you to run away just after I train you. Who can I go to for justice then?"

Zeng Yi rolled his eyes. This sounded so damn familiar. When he was a music director, he used to say the same thing when signing new artists.

In fact, the company’s investment costs are not calculated in this way at all.

In the past two years, we provided some resources, but when the business failed to recover, we replaced them. There is no future.

People who can become famous will become famous within two or three years. During this period, the company will not lose money and will make money together.

Li Yugang said: "Brother Chuan, the music copyright belongs to the company. Isn't this a bit weird? If the artist leaves, he can't sing his own songs, right?"

Qin Chuan glanced at him and said, "I am being conscientious by confiscating your stage name. If you can write your own songs, then the songs will be yours, and the company's songs will belong to the company."

Li Yugang shut up, if he could write himself he would have been famous long ago.

But this Qin Chuan is really evil. He even wants to get a stage name. He is so damn evil.

Linghua coughed and said, "30% to 70% is a bit too little. After all, we are not newcomers."

Qin Chuan said: "30% to 70% of the profits. This is a lifelong contract. No matter how popular you become in the future, it will still be 30% to 70%."

Linghua: “…”

Zeng Yi: “…”

Li Yugang: “…”

What's the point of talking about that? It's going to be 70% to 30% for your whole life, with no room for advancement. Who can stand it?

The music copyright is still owned by the company, which is not wrong, after all, the song was not written by them.

But if the day comes when they leave and the company doesn't allow them to sing their famous songs, then they will be in vain.

Not to mention the extremely long contract of ten years.

The three of them looked at each other and were already thinking of backing out. Although the song Qin Chuan gave was good, it was also very restrictive.

It exceeded their psychological expectations.

Not cost-effective.

"I'm going to go out and smoke a cigarette, you guys think about it."

Qin Chuan stood up, gave Wang Tingting a wink, and the two left the box.

Outside, Wang Tingting said, "Boss, you are too cruel."

Qin Chuan said: "If you are not ruthless, you can't stand firm. You don't understand."

In the past, he didn’t think much of sugar men and capitalists like Tianyu, and he looked down on them. Now that it’s his turn to be the capitalist, he learns word for word.

Because he had been a rebel himself, he knew the dangers involved and had to nip the bud of rebellion in the bud. Wang Tingting asked, "Can they agree to such harsh conditions?"

"Don't worry, I'll agree."

After finishing a cigarette, Qin Chuan returned to the box.

Wang Tingting poured him tea.

Taking a sip from the teacup, Qin Chuan asked, "What do you think?"

Li Yugang turned his head away, not wanting to be the first to speak out. Linghua signaled Zeng Yi to speak.

The three of them have already agreed not to sign the contract.

"Brother Chuan, I..."

Before Zeng Yi could finish, Qin Chuan said, "I forgot to say something just now. If you sign a contract with my company, I will give you one song of this quality every two years."

"I, I have no problem." Zeng Yi changed the subject and said seriously, "We have known each other for many years. We have a good relationship. In fact, I have wanted to get along with you for a long time, but I never had the chance and was too embarrassed to ask."

"It's rare that Brother Chuan thinks highly of me. I will be a member of Qin Dynasty Entertainment from now on. Brother Chuan, no, Mr. Qin, I'll raise a glass."

He poured a full glass of white wine and drank it in one gulp with his head tilted back.

This operation left Linghua and Li Yugang stunned.

During the time when Qin Chuan left to smoke, Zeng Yi was the leader, analyzing the pros and cons and then coming to the conclusion not to sign.

Wow, as soon as he heard that he would only produce one song every two years, he signed the contract immediately without any further consideration.

He is really thick-skinned.

Linghua echoed, "Boss Qin, Zeng Yi's meaning is exactly what I mean."

Okay, okay, I'm the only one left. Li Yugang saw that his teammates, who had been a united front just a few seconds ago, turned their guns on him, so he stopped pretending.

"Boss Qin, me too!"

Damn, only a fool would not sign a song of this level every two years.

If someone else said this, they wouldn't believe it, but they believe Qin Chuan's words.

Outside, Qin Chuan has a nickname, the "Wholesale Department of High-Quality Songs in the Chinese Music Scene". He writes lyrics and composes music by himself, and has produced more than a dozen songs. The worst of them are all masterpieces, and several of them are even hits. Some of them have even opened up a genre.

If you don't believe what this big shot says, then no one else can be trusted.

As for the ten-year contract, ten years is too short. If we only release one song every two years, that’s only five songs. It would be better if it’s a full twenty or thirty years.

Divide into 30% and 70%?

Qin Chuan is responsible for writing the lyrics and composing the music. They probably don't need to arrange the music. All the troublesome things have been done by others. They are only responsible for singing and put in the least effort.

Panax notoginseng is not impossible.

The copyright belongs to the company. The song was written by Qin Chuan and it is not theirs. There is nothing wrong with it.

Qin Chuan turned to Wang Tingting and said, "See, I told you they would sign."

Wang Tingting: "..."

If it were her, she would be willing to sign such a good thing.

If you want to blame someone, blame Qin Chuan for his statement of "one song every two years". The power of his statement is too destructive. How many singers in the entertainment industry can resist such temptation?

After everything was settled, Qin Chuan and Wang Tingting went downstairs.

In the Rolls-Royce, Qin Chuan sat in the back seat and Wang Tingting drove him home.

As they were driving, Wang Tingting asked, "Boss, with your influence, why don't you sign some second-tier singers? Why sign them?"

Whether it is Zeng Yi, Ling Hua, or Li Yugang, although they have gained a certain degree of fame after emerging from the Star Boulevard, they are still a long way from being second-tier stars.

They have less than two representative works to show off now.

It’s not that bad, but compared to second-tier singers who have been famous for a long time, have a fan base, and have been tested by the market, the gap is too big.

It’s like Qin Chuan is a director who has a good script in his hand, but he doesn’t choose actors who have won awards, are popular, and have good acting skills.

Instead, they found a young artist who had just graduated from college two years ago and was still playing supporting roles to be the male lead.

It's not a wise move no matter how you look at it.

In the back row, Qin Chuan opened his closed eyes: "Any song has a problem of suitability. Some songs are only suitable for certain people to sing."

"Besides, the three of them are no worse than second-tier singers."

Phoenix Legend, in a few years, this band will be able to cause nationwide carnival and the pioneer of square dancing.

The popularity is ridiculously high.

The ability to make money is top-notch.

Li Yugang is not bad either. In the early days, he made a name for himself with his unique skill of cross-dressing. Later, he learned opera and singing, and in this field, he also made his own name and formed a unique style.

Of course, the most important thing is that second-tier singers will not agree to such a contract.

Those who make it to the second tier have more or less some arrogance and strength.

Unlike small singers like Li Yugang and Zeng Yi, what they need most now is opportunities.
