Today was a sunny day.
Drew, who had transformed back into a squatting man, dozed off on the sofa.
His wife had gone to work, and he could finally rest.
However, things always backfired.
Just as she was sleeping soundly, her phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello? May I ask if you are Mr. Drew Lee?"
"Ah, yes, you are?"
Drew rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"I'm Sun Rui from Starlight Entertainment. I'm looking for you this time to discuss the next collaboration with you.”
The person on the phone was very polite.
Drew frowned.
Fan Yi's company?
"Didn't you sign the contract?”
"Yes, haha. This time, I want to carry out the next step of cooperation with you.”
Sun Rui said.
"After a discussion, our company felt that as Fan Yi's senior brother, you know best what kind of songs are suitable for Fan Yi. Therefore, our company has decided to invite you to produce music for Fan Yi.”
Drew thought for a moment and asked.
"So you want me to work for your company?”
"This is negotiable."
Sun Rui didn't deny or confirm it.
Drew pursed his lips.
She was only thinking about those good things.
It was the old trick of an entertainment company.
On the surface, he said that he was trying to get close to his relatives for Fan Yi. In the beginning, he might have been doing it for Fan Yi. However, the big picture in the future would definitely be to make him the resource producer of their company.
Thinking about that beautiful thing?
"Oh, hehe, there's no need for that. My wife works in Shencheng, and I don't want to go to work in Dalian. It's too far away. It's better to be a freelance musician.”
Drew smiled.
"Of course, Fan Yi is my junior brother. If there's any good work, I'll definitely think of him first. Don't worry about that. If it's for Fan Yi, I'll make another album for him.”
"Oh, thank you so much."
Sun Rui felt like he was choked.
However, it was not a bad choice to make an album for Fan Yi.
"However, we have a small request. I wonder if we can agree to it?”
"Hmm? What request?"
"Didn't 'Thousand Year Love' sign a share sharing contract? If you make another album for Fan Yi, can you sign a contract to buy it out?”
Oh, so he was here for this.
Drew was not in a hurry to refuse.
It was not impossible to buy it out, but the key was the price and the detailed contract.
As long as it wasn't a completely overbearing contract and the price was satisfactory, Drew Lee would feel very happy.
"Then tell me!"
"Yes, we want to pay off the production costs of this album in one go. Among the ten songs, we will have five songs that have yet to be arranged and recorded. You will be responsible for all five songs, as well as the arrangement, harmony recording, and mixing of the five songs.”
So what's your bid?
Drew pursed his lips.
You should talk about money first!
If you don't talk about money, how can I help you?
“......”
"Mr. Li, what do you think?”
"Okay, continue."
He understood!
Sun Rui understood what Drew meant.
"400,000 yuan! The company will provide the equipment and personnel for free. The company will handle the distribution and storage of the entire platform. You only need to make songs.”
"As for the contract, it's just a normal purchase. You still have the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, the right to protect the integrity of the work, and other rights that an author should enjoy.”
"And grant our company the right to reproduce, distribute, rent, exhibit, perform, show, broadcast, transmit, film, adapt, translate, and compile.”
"I wonder if this is good?"
"Yeah," she said.
Drew thought about it.
"I won't sell the rights to the adaptation, translation, and compilation. Can we discuss it?”
Sun Rui frowned when he heard this.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he still nodded and decided to give Drew face.
"Sure, no problem."
Generally speaking, these rights were also sold.
However, if he didn't sell these rights, he could actually fight for more rights to speak.
Simply explained,
You are not allowed to use adaptation as an excuse to change labor works.
Give me a share of the money from the overseas sales.
Don't be angry with me if you want to burn skewers or buy copyright plagiarism.
......
As for the price, it was already very respectful to Drew.
For an ordinary newcomer, a song that could be sold for a few thousand yuan was already not bad, let alone tens of thousands.
Not to mention that there were countless people who couldn't sell them.
This price, let alone a newcomer, even in the industry, was considered high-class treatment.
Only some of the more experienced and well-known musicians in the industry could buy it for 30,000 yuan.
The works that these musicians were proud of were already considered top-notch if they could sell for 100,000 yuan.
After all, the profits from a song were mostly due to the company's operations and the artists 'commercial performances. Musicians were basically lying at home and collecting money. This price was not only fair, but it could even be said to be a sign of goodwill.
For example, some songs that were worth hundreds of millions or even millions had been in operation for a long time. The accumulation of commercial value, as well as the fact that the producers and singers of the songs were at the grandfather's level.
Not even his father.
Otherwise, it would be a pure wash of Qian.
After all, Drew Lee was a pure newcomer. It was still unknown whether he could become an evergreen in the music industry.
It was only because of the power and talent behind him, as well as his performance this time, that Starlight decided to treat him with sincerity.
"I'll send you the detailed contract later. You can take a closer look.”
Sun Rui smiled, and his tone was very polite, easily making people have a good impression of him.
"If there's no problem, you can sign it at any time and the full amount will be transferred to your account immediately.”
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Drew looked at the contract.
There was no overbearing clause.
He was very sincere.
Moreover, he did not restrict his freedom to compose for other singers.
......
Drew sighed softly.
This price was quite good.
but
If he wanted to make a lot of money, it was definitely not enough to rely on selling songs.
The most important thing was the marketing and marketing channels.
However, he didn't have these things at the moment, so he could take it slow.
The most important thing was to earn the first bucket of gold and pull the studio up. Then, there was no need to buy it out to make quick money. He just needed to slowly lie down and collect the profits.
.....
The company's speed was very fast.
Whoosh!
As soon as the electronic signature was done, the money was transferred to his account.
The advance payment showed the company's trust and sincerity in Drew.
To be honest.
It was difficult for anyone to be dissatisfied with such an operation.
Dissatisfaction was either insatiable or insatiable.
......
All of a sudden, there was a huge sum of more than 300,000 yuan after tax in Drew's pocket.
He quickly told his wife the good news.
Therefore, Drew sent a screenshot to his wife on QQ.
Earned more than 300,000 yuan, proud.jpg
Not long after, Lu Qiu 'er's reply rang out.
Wow! Hubby is awesome! Bare teeth.jpg
After putting down his phone, Drew started to study the layout of the studio.
Site selection, equipment, renovation.
Get the hardware ready first!
He did as he was told.
Drew counted the money in his pocket.
His previous salary was given to his wife, and the 100,000 yuan in his wife's hands could not be touched. It was reserved for daily expenses and emergencies.
He had just started writing songs for Fan Yi, so he didn't earn much. The money from the last recording and the next two commercial performances was divided into his own to make up for it, barely 30,000 yuan.
Including this wave of money.
About 360,000.
It seemed like a lot, but…For a music studio, this bit of money was simply not enough.
First, he went online and found a professional manufacturer to order some necessary equipment.
The keyboard synthesizing device cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
The top-of-the-line computer for work cost 60,000 yuan, and the three monitors happened to be on sale, so the total was 88,000 yuan.
Get some better equipment, but not too expensive.
Alright, including the other small investments, he almost lost 200,000 yuan.
The core of the Avidhd system, plus an io.
The sound card cost sixty thousand yuan.
The master-grade monitor controller was thirty thousand dollars, and the close-field monitor was cheap at more than ten thousand dollars. The master-grade monitor was sixty thousand dollars.
Alright, I've spent all my money!
Drew forced a smile and encouraged himself.
Don't panic, steady yourself, don't cry.
You have to know that you have a wife who supports you!!
