Just as Bai Mu was concentrating on writing his biography, Liu Lingling suddenly called.
"Brother Mu, do you have time now?”Liu Lingling asked.
"What's wrong? Is there something urgent?”
"Cool Cat Music sent a representative over to discuss the copyright of the song with Brother Mu.”Liu Lingling explained.
Bai Mu raised his eyebrows and said,""I have time now."
"Then I'll pass the phone to him. Brother Mu, you can talk to him.”
A few seconds later, a deep voice sounded.
"Hello, Mr. Bai Mu. I'm Huang Wen from Cool Cat Music.”
"Hello," Bai Mu said.
" I'm contacting you this time to discuss the copyright of opera 2," Huang Wen said." But I can't explain it over the phone, so I wanted to treat you to a cup of coffee and chat."”
"Alright, let's go to the cafe opposite Tianfeng Entertainment.”Bai Mu said.
"Alright."
After tidying up the biographies on the desk, Bai Mu drove to the company.
It was within his expectations that a music company would contact him. After all, a classic song could not only bring him huge profits, but also huge traffic.
However, he did not expect that the first person to contact him was not Penguin Music, but Cool Cat.
In terms of strength, of course, Penguin was better, but Cool Cat was a rising star, so he was not inferior. Therefore, Bai Mu was looking forward to this date.
As for why they didn't directly cooperate with Heavenly Wind, it was because Heavenly Wind was too small.
The film and television industry alone took up most of Tianfeng's resources. It had almost no achievements in the digital music field, so it was passed by Bai Mu from the beginning.
It wasn't that Bai Mu didn't care about human feelings, but for the sake of future development, Bai Mu had to choose a strong music company.
Bai Mu stopped the car at the entrance of Tianfeng Entertainment and walked into the cafe opposite.
As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man in a black suit standing up and nodding at him from afar.
Walking over, Bai Mu stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Huang Wen from Cool Cat Music." The middle-aged man shook his hand and smiled.
"Bai Mu." Bai Mu smiled and sat down.
A waiter walked over and Bai Mu casually ordered a cup of coffee.
"I'm sure Mr. Bai Mu already knows my intentions for coming here, so I wanted to see what you think.”Huang Wen said.
"I still want to hear your company's conditions first." Bai Mu smiled.”
Huang Wen glanced at him and said,"" The digital songs are split into seven or three?"
Bai Mu shook his head and said,"Too low."”
The so-called digital song splitting was the way of this world.
This meant that every time a user paid to download a song, Bai Mu would get 30% of the profit.
This 30% was after excluding the promotional fees. It looked very high, and only the top singers in the country could get this share.
But the problem was that they only got 30% because they didn't write lyrics or compose music. They only sang as singers.
According to the rules of this world, the lyrics and composition could be paid 20% of the copyright fees. In other words, the seemingly generous 30% was only 10% for Bai Mu.
This split was only at the level of a third-rate singer, so Bai Mu was obviously not willing.
"Sixty-four?" Huang Wen took a sip of his coffee and asked.
"I'll take 60 and you take 40," Bai Mu joked.”
" That's impossible," Huang Wen refused without hesitation." Unless you can sign a contract with us."”
The signing of the singer contract meant that Bai Mu would have to follow the requirements of Cool Cat Music in the future and release songs regularly. Moreover, the quality of the songs had to be guaranteed.
" It's definitely impossible to sign a contract," Bai Mu shook his head." Not to mention that I have a contract with Tianfeng Entertainment, and I don't intend to be a singer.”
"Actually, if you're willing to jump ship, our company can help you pay the penalty.”Huang Wen suddenly said.
"And as long as you sign a contract with us, most of our company's resources in the film and television industry can be tilted towards you.”
Bai Mu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Perhaps this was the real reason why Cool Cat Music had sent people to find him. As a large company, Cool Cat had not only nurtured a group of outstanding singers, but it was also constantly entering the film industry.
However, in recent years, Cool Cat had not made much progress in the film and television industry. His influence was still not enough. He was eager to cultivate or poach a few A-listers or even Heavenly Kings and Queens.
However, every A-lister and superstar was the treasure of the entertainment giants. How could they let go of these money trees so easily?
Therefore, even though Cool Cat paid a huge price, he only managed to poach one Heavenly King and a few A-listers.
As for the other big shots, they were either not worth the price or their contracts were too tight. Naturally, Cool Cat gave up on them.
However, just as Cool Cat decided to spend a lot of resources to make her trainee famous, Bai Mu, who could sing and had excellent acting skills, entered their sights.
After a series of discussions, Cool Cat decided to spend a lot of money to poach Bai Mu, even if it meant offending Tianfeng Entertainment.
Because in their eyes, Bai Mu had the potential to become an S-list or even a superstar!
For the sake of a future superstar, offending a medium-sized entertainment company that wasn't very strong was still a profit.
After all, Cool Cat was a huge force. Even if it was clearly bullying Tianfeng Entertainment, Qin Huaide could only swallow his anger.
Huang Wen approached Bai Mu with the instructions of the company's higher-ups. However, to his surprise, Bai Mu still refused.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans to leave Tianfeng Entertainment for the time being.”Bai Mu said.
" Do you need to reconsider?" Huang Wen advised." Although our Cool Cat has only dabbled in the film and television industry, our resources are far more abundant than Tianfeng.”
"It's not about the resources or the penalty fee. It's just that I plan to set up my own studio."”
Hearing this, Huang Wen knew that it was useless no matter how much he tried to persuade her.
Cool Cat allowed the company's artists to set up studios, but the management was very strict. Obviously, Bai Mu would not accept it.
If he stayed in Tian Feng, Bai Mu would be the boss of the company. When he set up the studio, not many people in the company would dare to tell him what to do.
This was the benefit of working in a small or medium-sized entertainment company: As long as you were powerful enough, you could ignore everyone else except the boss.
Not to mention that Qin Huaide, the CEO of Tianfeng Entertainment, was Bai Mu's senior brother. As long as Bai Mu did not leave Tianfeng, his position in the company would only get higher and higher.
If Bai Mu became an S-list or a superstar one day, even the CEO of the company would have to coax him.
" Then let's talk about the split for opera 2." Huang Wen saw that things were not going to work out, so he changed the topic." We can only accept a 50 - 50 split at most. Any more and we won't have much profit."”
Bai Mu took a sip of coffee and said solemnly,"I need time to think about it. I'll give your company an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
"Alright, then I'll wait for the good news.”
Huang Wen finished his coffee and left.
