289【MCA Records】

In addition to getting a lot of congratulations in Hollywood, Ye Jin also received a call from Xiangjiang, which was also a voice of congratulations.

"A Jin, it's amazing! The 35 million US dollars have surpassed Bruce Lee." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Zou for your praise." Ye Jin smiled, "I can enter Hollywood, and I have to thank you for your way."

"You don't have to be polite." Zou Wenhuai smiled, "When will I go back to Xiangjiang? I'll prepare a celebration banquet for you."

"I can't go back for the time being." Ye Jin explained as soon as he heard it, "I have invested in another movie here and will be finished soon."

"A Jin, why don't you come back?" Zou Wenhuai asked worriedly when he heard this.

If Ye Jin never returns, Jiahe's losses will be terrible and he will not benefit from it at all.

"How could that be, Mr. Zou. After I finish this movie, I will go back to Xiangjiang." Ye Jin smiled, "We have signed a five-year contract, and I will not break the trust."

"That's good, that's good." Zou Wenhuai nodded after hearing this, and turned his worries into joy.

Ye Jin knew in his heart what Zou Wenhuai was worried about, and he was just worried that he would stay in Hollywood to develop, so Jiahe would not benefit from it.

In fact, he is just a worry.

Even without the constraints of a contract, Ye Jin would not give up on the Xiangjiang and even the East Asian market. Because this is his basic market, the strategic significance is very important in the rear.

Unless Ye Jin becomes a giant in Hollywood, has a deep roots and has a second stable basic market, Hong Kong's position will be reduced.

In order to dispel Zou Wenhuai's doubts, Ye Jin specially sent two scripts to Xiangjiang.

One is for Hong Jin-cheol. After his "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" was released, the box office was 1.86 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the production cost of 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, it can only be said that it can only be said to be barely passing the test.

Therefore, Ye Jin gave him a movie "The Death Gun with a Single Knife". When it was released that year, the movie won nearly HK$3 million, ranking ninth in the annual box office rankings, and is also an excellent work of Xiangjiang Kung Fu films.

The other is "One move and a half-stage" for Cheng Long. This movie is Cheng Long's test of the 1970s. It is his first attempt at a kung fu movie. In fact, it is earlier than his filming "Snake-shaped Hand" and "Drunk Fist".

At that time, after director Luo Wei signed Cheng Long, he praised him for filming movies such as "New Jing Wumen", "Flying Crossing the Cirrus Cloud Mountain", "Storm Double Meteors", "Sword Flowers and Misty Rain Jiangnan", but Cheng Long was not popular.

Luo Wei, who was indifferent to the mood, delegated power, and the young director Chen Zhihua served as the director, and filmed "Shaolin Muren Lane" with Cheng Long (also used to take advantage of the popularity of the great director Zhang Che).

Because they are both young people, Chen Zhihua and Cheng Long are very close. The two are preparing to find a different approach, changing the style of the Kung Fu movie [Big and Deep Fight] and [Serious and Tension], and changing to a humorous style to enhance the entertainment.

Unfortunately, this idea was discovered by Luo Wei, which made them have to return home in vain. They had to follow Luo Wei's instructions and finish the filming of "Shaolin Muren Lane" in a normal manner.

But the average "Shaolin Muren Lane" was not popular. Therefore, when he collaborated on the second part of "One move and a half-stage", Cheng Long and Chen Zhihua took risks and added a lot of funny scenes to the movie without telling Luo Wei.

As a result, after the filming of the movie, Luo Wei thought it was too nonsense, so she hid the movie. It was not until two years later that Cheng Long became popular with "The Snake-shaped Hand" and "Drunk Fist", that Luo Wei took advantage of the popularity to take out "One and Half-Term to the World" and earned more than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, if it weren't for his old-fashionedness, the title of "Master of the Honesty Kung Fu Movie" would be his. Unfortunately, he didn't know the current affairs and made the two juniors Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping get the bargain. It really deserves it!

"One move and a half-stage" is more than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not much for Ye Jin, but for Jackie Chan, who has just become famous and has no foundation, it is already pretty good.

Moreover, this movie is an enlightenment work of a humorous kung fu film. Letting him act in this movie will also help him perform and adapt. After he adapted to this drama, Ye Jin was about to let him take over officially.

...

"Ye, mca Records is willing to invest $500,000 to buy your song "all     about           you" and is willing to pay another $200,000 to help you release this single." Roland Berkins smiled and said to Ye Jin, "This is the best invitation I have received so far."

"Five hundred thousand US dollars, well, the price is pretty good." Ye Jin nodded, "I think I can talk to them."

"Well, hurry up. While "Dragon Hard Boy" has not diminished its popularity and releases the record, I think it can sell at least 200,000 copies." Roland said with a smile.

Ye Jin nodded. Before signing the contract, he took the time to understand the rules of the game in the Asian American music industry.

To his surprise, the rules of the game in the music industry in the America music industry were completely different from what he had thought before.

For example, if the copyright of the song is registered after the author creates the copyright for 2828 years (there is a copyright for 28 years after registration. After the copyright expires, you can obtain another 28 years of copyright by applying for an extension).

mca Records paid $500,000 to buy the song "all     about        you" and took its copyright. But Ye Jin still enjoyed 50% of the income. And the $500,000 is actually a prepaid. In the future, after the song makes money, mca Records will deduct $500,000.

Record companies have a cooperative relationship with singers, not the relationship between the boss and the guys. In fact, during the cooperation process, singers have greater power, and have the right to decide which songs the producers of the album and decide which songs they sing.

Record companies just help singers produce and release records.

For example, MCA Records gives Ye Jin 200,000 US dollars to help him produce the album. The 200,000 US dollars is also a prepaid fee. After the record is completed and released, the 200,000 US dollars will be deducted from the money earned.

If the money earned by releasing records is not enough for US$200,000, it is equivalent to Ye Jin owing the record company money. Although the record company will not collect debts from Ye Jin, it will be difficult for Ye Jin to release records again.

...

Then Ye Jin signed a formal contract with MCA Records.

"Mr. Ye, would you like to sign a long-term contract with us to be a professional songwriter and singer?" Jason Bateman, a representative of mca record company, asked Ye Jin with a smile.

This contract is just a signing song and an album, and of course it is not satisfied with the record company.

They hope to recruit all talented artists to help them make money. According to their investigation, Ye Jin not only wrote the song "all    about                                                                                                            �

The songs he wrote are very popular in East Asia, which shows that he is a very talented singer-songwriter.
