Luo Quan was in a good mood after successfully deceiving Ivy.
When she first set up the company, she just had a joking mentality and never took it seriously. Until now, the company's capital is only one yuan.
However, there are already three signed artists, and two of them are very popular girl idols at the moment. Counting herself, a small company has actually already been established. As long as some professional agents are hired, the rental company can In one room, there was the prototype of an economic company.
It is definitely not comparable to those big economic entertainment companies that have been established for a long time, but the artists in Luoquan are all full of potential, with good image and temperament, and she is the boss of a music plug-in, so it is like looking at the grain on the back of a hand. Simple.
However, Luo Quan still has a lot of things at hand. Ivy's debut will have to wait for a while. When she is finished, she can start helping Ivy produce an album.
After negotiating with Ivy, Luo Quan went to the printing room on campus and printed two contracts.
The original copy of this contract was the one signed by Junko and Yoona. Luo Quan had kept the electronic file for future contract matters, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
"The other two artists in the company use this contract. Check to see if there are any terms that need to be modified." Luo Quan had already signed his name as he spoke.
The contract period was five years. Junko and Yoona were not given a signing fee by Luo Quan, but they were not allowed to give any share to the company. It was a nominal contract and basically did not involve any monetary transactions. It just let outsiders know that they were Luo Quan's company. artist.
But because Luo Quan himself didn't do much publicity for his company, not many people actually knew about it.
Ivy definitely can't do this anymore. After all, the relationship between Luo Quan and her is not that good yet. Without a relationship foundation, she can only use cash to increase Ivy's favorability.
Although it sounds vulgar, the effect is good.
Ivy also signed a five-year contract, with a signing fee of 1.2 million per year. All future income from the artist related to the company will be divided into 30% and 70%, with the artist receiving 70%.
This condition can be said to be quite good in the industry.
Although Ivy is not a newcomer with no reputation, her reputation is actually worse than none. If she signs a contract with another big company, the one-year signing fee will only be around 200,000 yuan at most, and the maximum split is 70-30. The company is seven, she is three!
Only those who have been working hard in the industry for many years and have a considerable fan base, or who are at the peak of their debut and whose first work is popular all over the Internet, can the split be divided into 50 and 50, which is the current "Girls' Generation" In addition to Wen Xia and Penguin's share.
The 73% that Ivy now owns can generally only be enjoyed by industry giants. Without top-notch works or fame, it is impossible to get the 73% share.
However, there are not so many rules here in Luoquan. She has always treated people with sincerity, exchanging sincerity for sincerity. Money is only an external thing, and she does not value it particularly.
And Ivy obviously didn't expect that Luo Quan would be so generous. The annual after-tax salary for her as a newcomer would be 1.2 million, and the share would be 70-30%!
When she released songs before, it was not that no marketing companies approached her, but those marketing companies only valued her image and had nothing to do with her works.
The conditions given were also child labor contracts. Not to mention the low wages, the share of profit was only 82 cents. Compared with Luo Quan's, it was like heaven and earth!
For the first time in her life, Ivy felt the joy of being appreciated. She couldn't help but feel a little sore in her nose. She tremblingly signed the two deeds of sale... Oh no, it was the contract.
Luo Quan smiled and put one of them into his schoolbag: "Put this copy away yourself, add it to WeChat, and send me your bank number later... By the way, your stage name needs to be changed in the future. "
Ivy was stunned: "Ah? Why?"
Luo Quan explained: "Zhao Yan is too unrecognizable. Ivy sounds better and is quite foreign. The public will definitely like her."
Although Luo Quan despises the behavior of artists who adopt English stage names or completely foreign names, when it was his turn, he still couldn't help but feel so good.
There is no way, the social environment is like this, foreign monks just know how to recite sutras, and domestic fans just accept this.
Therefore, it is one thing to hate admiring foreign things, but it is another thing to return to reality.
Ivy hesitated: "Don't you think the name Ivy... sounds strange?"
The main reason why I chose the stage name Zhao Yan is because the name Aiwei was often teased by boys in the class, who often called her AVAV, which was very embarrassing.
Luo Quan understood it immediately, but he didn't think it was a problem: "But this is the name on your ID card, what's so strange? Besides, you sing punk rock, so you would criticize your name because of these things Have doubts?
That’s too devoid of rock and roll spirit, right? "
For a rock fan, these words are extremely lethal. Ivy was a little nervous before, but now she has no worries.
"Okay, I'll change it when I get back!"
Luo Quan smiled and said, "If you really feel awkward, you can also use English and call me Avril."
"Why use an English name?" Ivy was puzzled.
"Because you will sing English songs in the future, it will be easier to enter the foreign market by choosing an English song."
"Isn't it good to sing in Chinese?"
Luo Quan shook his head: "Chinese rock music is dead."
Don't look at the previous concert held by Love Music in China. The atmosphere was very lively, and it even became a hot search topic, causing a lot of discussion.
But it really didn’t create any turmoil. The albums released later, the physical album sales in mainland China were only about 200,000, and the digital album was a little higher, but it didn’t exceed 1 million.
The rest are all pirated copies. If Luo Quan really lets Ivy sing Chinese punk rock, it will be like losing sesame seeds and picking up watermelons.
In today's Chinese music market, if you want to make money, don't expect to sing Chinese rock music. Work hard to manage female fans. Then you can easily release an album and earn a small goal.
Relatively speaking, the foreign music market is still quite vast. As the most widely used language in the world, English has an inherent advantage over Chinese. Countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have good copyright awareness and are willing to spend money on songs. Some The works will definitely not worry about sales.
As for China, it would be better for Ivy to export to domestic sales first. She would become famous abroad first, and then sell her records back home. Maybe she would be able to sell better than her "Love" in China.
After the general direction has been decided, Luo Quan currently has no special requirements for Ivy, just practicing guitar and vocals.
Ivy, a music major, will not miss these things and will practice them without Luo Quan's advice.
Others are things that artists should pay attention to, such as talking less on social platforms. The more you talk, the easier it is to make mistakes.
Fortunately, Ivy is not a person who particularly likes surfing the Internet, and she has never had any disputes with anyone online. The time with Luo Quan was just because of the media's rhythm, not her original intention.
After the explanation, Luo Quan returned to the dormitory and checked the time. It was still some time before America had breakfast. Director Mir was probably sleeping soundly now, so he wouldn't disturb him for now.
Opening station B, Luo Quan posted a message:
There is something official to announce tonight. (dog head)
Countless fans came in droves and panicked when they saw this brief post.
"I often see the term official announcement when celebrities announce their relationships."
“The shorter the message, the bigger the matter.”
"Did Luo Quan find a boyfriend? No!"
"Although I knew that this day would come sooner or later, when the day finally came, my heart ached like a knife."
"It was so sudden, I was not mentally prepared at all."
"That's right, just make it official with me, hahaha, don't pull me, I'm not crazy, wuwuwuwu..."
"Didn't you see that dog head? It's obviously Luo Quan just teasing the fans."
"I didn't say it was Kazuo's official announcement. (dog head)"
"I panicked a little when I saw these two words. I hope it's not what I thought."
When Luo Quan saw such a big reaction from fans, she didn't expect that she thought she was a capable person, but in this regard, she seemed to be treated similarly to those idols.
What happens to these popular celebrities after they announce their relationship? Some fans are looking for life and death and cannot accept the reality; some fans begin to attack people who are in love with Xiao Xianrou, and some fans become angry and turn negative.
There were already many people in the comment area showing signs, and Luo Quan could only post one update:
"Actually, the company signed a new person, and everyone's reaction seemed to be a bit excessive."
This time there were even more comments from fans than before:
"My 40-meter-long sword has been drawn out. It's very difficult to take it back!"
"What, you still want to kill Luo Quan?"
"How can I be willing to chop it, but I will chop anyone who dares to come close to her!"
"That's right, I won't allow anyone to take her away!"
"It's over now. No matter what, you can't interfere with her private life."
"Have you ever seen any idol end well after announcing their relationship? (Eating Melon)"
"Ke Luoquan has never claimed to be an idol. She is a singer. What everyone should care about is her works rather than her life."
"I think everyone chasing stars should be more sensible."
"That's what I said, but when I think about Luo Quan and they will eventually become a wife, I feel very uncomfortable."
"My wife Luo Quan, I suddenly became excited~~"
"Old Cao Cao."
………………
Although it was an incompetence, from the fans' comments, we can still see the fans' attitude, which is to treat her as an idol.
I can’t say whether it’s good or bad, because subjectively it doesn’t involve falling in love, so there’s no need to worry about fans losing followers.
But it's not just love that triggers fans' extreme emotions. Other factors may also trigger fans' extreme emotions.
Luo Quan felt that he needed to say something:
“I think idols give fans beautiful visions, which is a good thing.
But an idol cannot remain an idol all her life. She also has her own life. Fans should not use their own will to influence the idol. Chasing stars rationally and respecting each other is the best way for idols and fans to get along. "
This time there were much fewer comments than before. Although most of them expressed support for Luo Quan's remarks, the number of comments was only two-thirds of the previous ones.
It seems that a considerable number of fans disapprove of the so-called rational pursuit of stars. In other words, these fans already have the potential to become illegitimate fans, which is the same type of fans who previously leaked her various living habits on the forum.
She didn't have any good solutions for this situation.
We can only hope that time will allow these fans to lose their fans and harm other celebrities.
Fortunately, she won't do anything that touches these fans' minefields in a short period of time, so there's no need to worry too much.
After such a fuss, the signing of Ivy was ignored by everyone, and everyone focused on Luo Quan's official announcement. They thought she was in love. However, after Luo Quan explained it clearly, no one cared about the specific content of the official announcement. .
If I had known she would be jealous, why would there be so much trouble in sending a message directly?
Fortunately, this time it did not have any negative impact on Ivy, and it finally attracted some attention.
However, she doesn't have any particularly amazing works at the moment. She attracts more fans because of her beauty. If she wants to become popular, she has to wait for the release of her new album.
After Wen Xia saw the news, he immediately called to ask and found out that his good friend signed another artist today.
"Are you really planning to be the boss?" Wen Xia said half-jokingly on the phone.
Luo Quanzhi was very proud: "Yes, it doesn't matter how popular I am. I also want the artists I signed to become popular together. That's what I call great!"
"Then if I get cold in the future, I will look for you to take care of me in my old age."
I don't know if what Wen Xia said was a joke, but regardless of whether it was a joke or not, with Wen Xia's current career trajectory, it's still too early to be cool, not to mention that with Luo Quan here, I'm afraid he won't be able to be cool even if he wants to.
Anyway, Luo Quan didn't take it seriously, but after Wen Xia's contract expired, she really had to consider whether to sign Wen Xia over.
The reason for considering it is because after all, the two are good friends. If Wen Xia is signed to join the company, Wen Xia will work for her from now on, and there will always be a difference in status.
Maybe the two of them won't care about this, but outsiders' comments will always change.
So this idea is still under consideration. Maybe Wen Xia will set up her own studio like her in the future.
After finishing today's affairs, Luo Quan calculated the time and sent the recorded music to Director Mir's email.
Luo Quan didn't know if he was having breakfast, but she had already had dinner anyway.
Five minutes later, Director Mill’s reply came:
"Perfect! This is the BGM I want!"
As expected by Luo Quan, Director Mir was quite satisfied with the song, and she would start working on the official version next.
Ps. Thanks to book friend L224 for the book coins, thank you!
