Chapter 103: Missing the Era of Coal Bosses (Part 2)
Queen Sun looked at Yang Yunsheng, took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Yang Yunsheng.

"Take a look at this contract first!"

Yang Yunsheng picked up the contract on the table and began to read it.

When she saw the price, Queen Sun only gave Yang Yunsheng 800,000 for the song.

Yang Yunsheng was wondering in his heart that the value of this song must not be only 800,000.

But since Queen Sun likes this song so much, she will definitely not give an unreasonable price.

Is it possible that the price of writing songs for the queen of pop is so low?

Eight hundred thousand in 2012 was actually quite a lot.

But compared with the overall revenue, these 800,000 seems very little.

To know how much a song can sell for in the end, singers can get 20 to 40 percent of the profits.

This song "Kepler" will definitely be a big hit in the future.

Many musicians have sung this song at their concerts.

This song has even been used in many variety shows.

As long as this song is used, copyright fees will be charged.

According to conservative estimates, the long-term revenue from this song, earned by Queen Sun alone, is at least 10 or 20 million.

Yang Yunsheng was definitely not joking, because Kepler received widespread acclaim as soon as it was launched in 2014.

Among the ten songs in Sun Tianhou's album, Kepler has been the champion for six consecutive weeks, which is really terrifying.

It even swept the five major music charts in Taiwan and set a sales record for the day.

In short, the price of 800,000 for the song Kepler is relatively low.

At least in Yang Yunsheng's opinion, this price did not meet his expectations.

His ideal price must be around two million.

Queen Sun also noticed Yang Yunsheng's tense brow and said to him, "This 800,000 yuan price is already considered the price for a top-tier lyricist and composer. Even the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwanese artists can only get this much for ordinary songs. In addition, if they write top-notch lyrics, their income will probably be just over one million yuan."

Yang Yunsheng is not very familiar with this aspect, either in his previous life or now.

After Queen Sun said that, Yang Yunsheng finally realized that the price she offered was indeed very reasonable.

It seems that she really liked this song, so she offered such a price.

Yang Yunsheng finally decided to sign the contract.

Originally, he was thinking of taking less money and asking for 3% of the song's revenue.

But he also felt that Queen Sun would definitely not be the boss of the company and could only contribute her own 3%.

So in general, it’s only a few hundred thousand.

But it will take a long time for these hundreds of thousands of dollars to reach your hands.

What Yang Yunsheng lacks most now is money and time.

Although the song sold 800,000 copies, which did not meet expectations, it was able to solve the current urgent problem.

For a contract like this, Yang Yunsheng should have let a lawyer check it to see if there were any traps before signing his name.

But Yang Yunsheng did not do so. First, he believed that Queen Sun would not do such a thing for the 800,000 yuan.

She has always had a good reputation in the music industry.

In addition, if you know her family background, you will understand why she can become a top singer.

Not only does she sing well, but her family members are also outstanding.

Her father, Mr. Sun, is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and her mother is a teacher.

Her elder sister, Sun Yanjia, is three years older than her and works as vice president of Barclays Investment Bank in Singapore. Her younger sister, Sun Yanmei, is six years younger and holds a master's degree in medicine from the National University of Singapore.

She herself also graduated from Nanyang Technological University.

That’s right, although her ancestral home is in Guangdong.

But my grandfather and great-grandfather went to Southeast Asia to do business very early.

Her nationality is Singaporean. Many singers that we are familiar with are not from Taiwan, but foreign singers.

But most of them debuted from Taiwan.

For example, Fish Leong, from Malaysia.

Xiaolin, also from Singapore.

The backgrounds of these people are also unfathomable.

Kobayashi, in particular, has a father who is a director of a Singaporean communications group, a brother who is the general manager of an American electronics company, and a uncle who is the CEO and Chief Executive Officer of a famous Japanese camera company (the legendary Canon).

In addition, his grandfather ran a shipping company and was known as the King of Nanyang Shipping.

Even he can play the leading role in a TV series, so just think about how important background is.

So if you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you can’t make it just by having talent and good looks.

In fact, it was okay around the millennium, but in the next ten years, that is, after 2013, if you wanted to make it in the entertainment industry, you wouldn't be able to stand out if you only had looks and abilities.

You need to have a background and the people behind you are willing to spend money on you.

Just like the one who came out this year, the King Hua who shocked the Chinese music world, he came from a wealthy family.

Even in future talent shows, if your family has no money, you will basically be a, uh, wild tomato on the street.

Why do we say that everyone in the entertainment industry in the future will use the same face? In the past, there were all kinds of poses and so many beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

That’s because those who have no money and no background have been eliminated long ago.

When watching TV dramas, do you feel that the maid is prettier than the female lead or second female lead, but can only play the role of a maid?

That’s because the heroine has supporters behind her, so she has resources.

Bringing money into the group, bringing money into the group, guess where it came from?

So it’s not unreasonable that some people miss the era of coal bosses.

Unfortunately, the future is the era of electricity.

After Yang Yunsheng signed his name, Queen Sun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because what you hold in your hands is yours.

Queen Sun said, "Send me your bank account number on WeChat later, and I'll ask my agent to transfer the money to you."

Yang Yunsheng was not surprised why Queen Sun asked her agent to transfer the film instead of asking Warner's finance department.

Because Queen Sun also has her own music company.

It's just her music company, which is relatively small.

The functions they undertake are completely different from those of a record company.

Then there is 800,000, which was probably a figure that many people could not imagine in 2012.

But for Queen Sun, 800,000 is just a drop in the bucket.

Yang Yunsheng naturally agreed. With the 800,000 yuan, he could give himself a chance to open up a new sector.

After finishing the most important thing, it’s time for lunch.

Queen Sun invited Yang Yunsheng to have lunch together, but was rejected by Yang Yunsheng.

When Yang Yunsheng refused, Queen Sun was a little stunned. It was the first time someone rejected her.

She must have been overthinking it. There were many people who rejected her, and it was definitely not just Yang Yunsheng.

Maybe she only remembered that people of lower status than her rejected her.

She chooses to forget those who are higher in status than her.

This is not surprising, because humans are animals that seek benefits and avoid harm.

Yang Yunsheng also scratched his head and said with a smile: "Sorry, sister, I have an appointment with my girlfriend, so I can't have lunch with you."

Queen Sun was a little surprised, but also expressed her understanding.

After Yang Yunsheng left, she still had some self-doubt.

Is it possible that a 34-year-old woman has no appeal to these young men?
