On the other side.
After having lunch at home, Chu Jinfan went to the bar.
Bai Qinglian greeted them as soon as they entered the bar.
"Little brother, you're angry, you're angry!”
Bai Qinglian was no longer as cold and aloof as before. Her face was filled with excitement.
Chu Jinfan was dumbfounded.
"Sister Qinglian, what's going on? You…Did you forget to take your medicine when you came?”
Chu Jinfan asked Bai Qinglian tentatively.
As expected, Bai Qinglian gave him a punch.
After the fight, Bai Qinglian pulled Chu Jinfan to a booth and said with a smile,""Just now, many music companies came to our bar to look for you. Guess what they are here for?”
Chu Jinfan scratched his head and said,"Are you here to buy my music?"”
“NoNoNo！”
"They don't want your songs. They only want you!" Bai Qinglian shook her head.”
"They're here to sign me?" Chu Jinfan suddenly realized.”
"That's right!"
Bai Qinglian snapped her fingers." They all want to sign you with their companies. I've already made an appointment with five companies for you. They'll come to you one by one later to talk to you in detail!"”
" Sister Qinglian," Chu Jinfan smiled bitterly." I don't plan to sign a contract with the company for the time being. It's not like you don't know about this. Why…"
" Of course I know you don't want to sign with a company," Bai Qinglian interrupted." But that doesn't stop you from meeting people from these music companies. Don't you want to know your current value?" Don't you want to know your status in the eyes of professionals?”
Chu Jinfan thought for a moment and nodded.”
Strictly speaking, Chu Jinfan was still a newbie in the entertainment industry.
Meeting the people from the music company was also an opportunity for him to broaden his horizons.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Qinglian's first company employee arrived.
The other party was Zhao Haisheng, the deputy director of the Kojac Record Company.
Kojac Records was considered a third-tier company in China. It had two second-tier singers, more than ten third-tier singers, and two music production teams.
However, for an amateur singer, signing a contract with Kojac Records was not a bad choice.
As soon as Zhao Haisheng met Chu Jinfan, he shook hands with him warmly and said,""Mr. Ye, I've heard a lot about you. I listen to your two original songs every day. You sang so well that it was so touching!”
The flattery from the professionals made Chu Jinfan feel a little smug.
He smiled and said," Thank you, Director Zhao, for your love. I only composed those two pieces of music because I was inspired. I hope that it can touch the hearts of the listeners and relieve their stress!”
"That's really too relaxing!"
Zhao Haisheng chuckled and said," I've heard him cry twice. After he cried, all the pressure disappeared. Mr. Ye is a musical genius!”
" I still need to improve my skills," Chu Jinfan said." I heard from Sister Qinglian that Director Zhao is here to sign me into Kojac Records?"”
Zhao Haisheng immediately nodded and said," That's right. After our operations team heard your two songs, we unanimously decided to sign you to Kojac Records!”
Chu Jinfan raised his eyebrows slightly." Then I'll get straight to the point. I wonder what kind of treatment your company can offer?"”
Zhao Haisheng smiled." We at Koyu Records have always valued original singers. Please rest assured, Mr. Ye, that we will definitely satisfy you!”
Zhao Haisheng then handed a contract to Chu Jinfan.
Chu Jinfan took the contract and read it carefully.
Chu Jinfan's face turned ugly as he flipped through the pages.
A few minutes later, Chu Jinfan put down the contract and looked at Zhao Haisheng.""Director Zhao, my salary isn't written here?”
Zhao Haisheng laughed." Mr. Ye, you're a bit of an amateur. We signed singers never get paid. We only get a cut of the profits from the songs!”
Chu Jinfan frowned." But the contract says that I can only get 30% of the profits from the song. And the copyright belongs to the company?"”
Zhao Haisheng nodded and said," Yes, 30% is already very high. Nowadays, the cost of publicity is very expensive. Usually, amateur singers can only get 20% at the beginning. We only gave 30% because we saw that Mr. Ye's standards are really good!”
Hearing this, Chu Jinfan was already a little angry.
Although Chu Jinfan himself didn't know much about the music industry, the guy he possessed had studied music since he was young, so he knew the basic signing rules of music companies.
When a singer signed a contract with a company, there was basically a guaranteed salary.
First, the singer had to have a basic livelihood before the singer could concentrate on creating music.
Secondly, the company and the singer would get at least 40% of the profits.
After all, the song was composed by the singer.
If the copyright of the song belonged to the company, then the profit sharing would increase to more than 50%.
The contract treatment offered by Kojac Records was obviously a little too much.
Chu Jinfan suppressed his anger and said," Director Zhao, let's put aside the salary for now. Your company's contract also states that I have to compose more than five songs a month. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract.”
Zhao Haisheng nodded again." That's right. After Mr. Ye composed 'Ten Years,' he composed 'People Like Me' in less than three days. I think it shouldn't be difficult for Mr. Ye to compose five original songs every month, right?”
" Director Zhao," Chu Jinfan said coldly," any creation requires time to accumulate. It's already considered good for an original singer to release one song a month!”
Zhao Haisheng crossed his hands and said with a smile,"Mr. Ye, don't belittle yourself. You're not an ordinary singer! Don't worry, after you enter the company, we will arrange for professionals to guide and comment on you. They will assist you in composing and guarantee that you can complete five songs in a month!
We are a professional music company and are very experienced in managing singers. As long as you sign with our company, I can guarantee that you will become an A-list singer within three years and have a large number of fans!”
This was obviously a big deal.
What Chu Jinfan saw in the contract was basically the promotion of ordinary music platforms and portals.
There was no promotion by mainstream media or variety shows.
Chu Jinfan suspected that the reason why he was signed by Kojac Records was because he wanted to find a creative machine and had no intention of promoting him into a famous singer.
