Chapter 49 A Loose Contract

 The two looked at each other and smiled, both guessing what the other was thinking.

In the end, it was Liang Yusong who spoke first: "Songshi Records is not a big company, and they don't promote boy bands, but focus on making music.

"It has several first-tier and near-first-tier singers, and has collaborated with several kings and queens. If you have no other company you want to go to, you can consider it."

This is a tacit understanding between musicians. Liang Yusong does not force it, he just gives Fang Xing one more choice.

Although the cooperation between them is very harmonious, if you really want to sign a contract, you still need to clearly state the terms of the contract.

Fang Xing thought about it for a while and said, "Have you heard about the request I made to Chaoyin Culture?"

Liang Yusong nodded with his eyebrows and said: "Your request is basically a platinum contract. This kind of contract is usually prepared by big companies for top-tier singers.

"The characteristic of the platinum contract is that it is loose and does not force artists to take jobs.

"I guarantee that no entertainment company in China will agree to your requests. Do you believe it?"

Fang Xing nodded and admitted: "Indeed."

Liang Yusong continued: "Big companies want to make money. When is the most valuable period for a boy band? It is the first three months of the group's debut.

"After three months, the popularity of the draft will decline, and the ability to make money will also begin to decline, and it will even be replaced by other new idol groups.

"So, large companies should take advantage of the three months when the market is most popular to squeeze out all the value.

"One of the conditions you proposed is that you have the right to refuse work arranged by the company. No company will agree to this."

Fang Xing is well versed in the rules of the entertainment industry, so he knows what Liang Yusong said is true.

Liang Yusong can talk about this openly and honestly, he not only wants to be a partner, but also wants to make friends.

In the eyes of musicians, Fang Xing's four songs are enough to prove his profound musical talent.

Idols will become outdated, but music will not.

Liang Yusong continued: "Songshi Records can agree to your request and does not force you to take the job. The reason is very simple. I have seen your recording ability and you have the ability to produce music.

"The ability to make music will not disappear in three months. I believe your fame will only become bigger and bigger in the future.

"So, Songshi Records can basically agree with the conditions you offered, except for the artist's share. It's impossible to give you the highest offer at the beginning."

Fang Xing didn't expect that a company would agree to the conditions he proposed, which was a bit surprising.

In fact, the conditions mentioned at the beginning were to prepare for exorbitant prices and to pay back the money on arrival.

Of course, one of the reasons why Pine Rock Records agreed to those conditions is that Pine Rock Records is not a boy band and cannot provide any resources in this regard.

If a boy band has no resources and no exposure, it will become obsolete very quickly.

In "Produce 101" on Earth, some members of the original brokerage company who have no resources will basically disappear after the limited group is disbanded.

Songshi Records does not have the resources for a boy band, so it naturally has fewer bargaining chips to negotiate contracts.

In fact.

Liang Yusong did not intend to compete with Chaoyin Culture for people at the beginning.

After all, Songshi Records is a music company and has business dealings with Chaoyin Culture. If we compete with Chaoyin Culture for people, it will inevitably affect future cooperation.

Of course, competition among entertainment companies is already fierce.

As long as it's not illegal, signing singers depends on their abilities.

If they don’t dare to sign new singers because they are afraid of the trendy music culture, then there is no need for Songshi Records to be in this industry.

To put it bluntly.

What Chaoyin Culture wants is a popular player who debuted in the draft, and they want to use this popularity to make money.

Liang Yusong was attracted by Fang Xing's music production ability, and the popularity he gained from the audition was just the icing on the cake.

Fang Xing thought about it for a while and asked: "If I sign with Pine Rock Records, do I have to withdraw from the competition? If I want to concentrate on making music, I don't want to sign a limited group contract."

If "Rising Stars" debut as a group, they will have to sign a limited group contract.

After the limited group debuted, it was operated by Chaoyin Culture.

If you sign with Songshi Records, debut as a group, and then fall back into the hands of Chaoyin Culture, you don’t have to think that you will definitely be outsmarted.

Therefore, if he signed with Songshi Records, Fang Xing would not want to join the group and might have to withdraw from the competition.

Liang Yusong laughed and said: "No need to withdraw from the competition, we also cooperate with Feifan Entertainment, and I am also the mentor of the show. If you are also interested, I will ask the company to draw up a contract and send it to you tomorrow, don't worry

, think carefully before we make a decision."

"Okay, I will seriously consider it."

Signing a contract cannot be settled in one or two sentences. You still have to see the contract before making a decision.

……

After returning to the training camp, Fang Xing led the team members to rehearse the performance repertoire as usual.

In the afternoon of the next day, I received the accompaniment from Songshi Records.

In addition to the accompaniment, there is also a contract.

The share ratio is not written in the contract and is left blank.

This does not mean that Fang Xing fills it in casually, but that it requires an interview.

What really needs to be looked at carefully are the specific terms of the contract.

Including the rights and obligations of Party A and Party B, as well as various detailed rules.

After Fang Xing read this contract, it can be said that this contract is much looser than Chaoyin Culture's contract.

The most stringent clause in Chaoyin Culture’s contract is that artists cannot refuse the work arranged by the company.

The strictness of this rule depends on how cruel the company can be.

It is not unusual in a large company like Chaoyin Culture to receive notifications while taking a bottle.

The contract with Songshi Records is relatively loose, but there is one clause: after signing the contract, all songs produced can only be released by Songshi Records.

This clause is a rigid clause in the Songshi Records contract.

When Fang Xing saw this, he thought it was quite reasonable.

Because this contract with Songshi Records is not so much about signing a singer as it is about signing a music producer.

If Songshi Records signed a music producer, and the music producer handed over the songs to other companies for distribution, then why did Songshi Records sign this person?

After Fang Xing read the contract, he was still satisfied with the general direction of the contract. The specific sharing and details needed to be discussed in person.

Of course.

There is no rush to sign the contract, we can wait until after this performance is over.

Songshi Records did not press for the signing.

In fact, Fang Xing, Songshi Records and Chaoyin Culture are all waiting to see the results of this performance.

If Fang Xing loses to Wu Junchen in this performance, then the limelight will inevitably decline.

When the time comes, Chaoyin Culture can use this to lower prices.

The same goes for Pine Rock Records.

Although Songshi Records has offered a very loose contract, Songshi Records is a company and it also wants to make money.

If the artist's share of the contract is smaller, the company can make more money.

Fang Xing also understands this truth, so he is also waiting.

As long as Wu Junchen wins this performance, he can get a higher share ratio when negotiating the contract.
