Perhaps he felt guilty. After the audition, Liang Junfeng showed great enthusiasm. Not only did he actively entertain Li Qing and his entourage to a star-rated hotel in the center of Hong Kong for a feast, but he also played "Destiny" and "Heart of Iron" on the spot.
The signing contract for the two songs has been finalized.
And when it came to payment, there was no formality. He happily paid the one million check to Li Qing on the spot.
Song Lun was also very generous, claiming that as long as there was a suitable role in the future, he would definitely invite Li Qing to play it. However, it is unclear how true this statement was.
However, it can be seen that the title of best-selling novel writer is really useful in Hong Kong.
Although Li Qing is a little bit worried about his inability to win the role of Zhao Pan and cannot be relieved in a short time, on the surface, he also talks to people and ghosts, drinking and drinking together, and the two sides also reconcile the previous unfamiliarity.
Give it all up and become familiar and polite.
At this time, Liang Junfeng, who was full of wine and food, clicked his tongue and said drunkenly: "Brother, I know you are not doing well in the mainland. You want to release a record, right? Ah Yun, come on, come on, I'll give it to you two
Sign a line."
When Li Qingzheng was wondering, he saw Wu Yun, the general manager of Shengshi Audio and Video, who had always seemed very quiet, stood up and said with a smile: "Li Sheng."
Li Qing glanced at her, nodded with a smile, and then looked at Liang Junfeng: "Brother Liang, what is this?"
Liang Junfeng said meaningfully: "Ayun's Shengshi Audio and Video is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our China Film Group. It has distribution channels and a tape factory. However, how much money can you make from records? You can play it, but you must not do it.
Hong Kong film companies are like crucian carp crossing the river, but how many record companies are there? Many, many, but how much money can they make? Not many, just a few."
Liang Junfeng touched his slightly protruding belly and said: "But movies are different. Hong Kong movies are very popular now. Don't look at the outside world and they are clamoring for the decline of Hong Kong movies, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Hong Kong movies are in Southeast Asia.
The region is still very marketable.”
Li Qing listened quietly, thinking about the meaning of Liang Junfeng's words.
"Ah Qing can't understand what you are saying." Song Lun chewed a peanut and laughed.
"Too."
Liang Junfeng came to his senses, then pointed at Wu Yun and said to Li Qing: "Although Shengshi Audio and Video has also released records, the income was not good and could not compare with those big companies, so it cut off the record business and now specializes in our China Film Group's
The tapes of songs from film and television dramas are released to coordinate with the online promotion of film and television dramas. Although it is a tape, the sales volume is not bad. Compared with records, the cost of tapes is low and the return is high enough..."
"What does Brother Liang mean?" Li Qing asked thoughtfully.
Liang Junfeng pointed to the contract that had just been signed on the table: "Ah Qing, if you believe me, I will connect you and Ah Yun, and you will sing the two songs "Destiny is the Highest" and "Iron-Blooded Heart"
, except for the one million song and film copyright buyout fee, if you are willing to release the tape, I can make the decision and give you a 20% share of the tape sales, what do you think?"
Li Qing listened quietly.
At this time, Xu Wen next to her had a horrified expression, her heart was in her throat, and she almost screamed.
Is there anyone willing to sign the boss?
There is actually a production company willing to release the boss’s songs!
Although it is a tape, even though it is a Hong Kong company...
but……
Oh my god!
This is simply a divine turning point!
Promise! Promise!
Xu Wen looked at Li Qing with excitement in her heart. Not only Xu Wen, but also Fang Haotian was also shocked and moved.
Only Liu Qin, after taking a look at Li Qing, continued to eat hairy crabs heartlessly. He was not ladylike at all and made his fingers greasy...
"Only signing tapes?" Li Qing asked.
At this time, Wu Yun spoke: "Yes, Li Sheng, my company is very humanitarian and will never tie singers to contracts! I have listened to several of your previous songs, which are of high quality.
And every song has the potential to become a hit! If you consider giving us past songs such as "Fly Higher", "The Way You Were", "The Trouble of the Moon" and "In My Singing".
Shengshi Audio and Video will distribute it, and I can make the decision and give you 40% of the share."
Even Liang Junfeng was surprised when he said this.
Give Lee Sin a 40% share?
To put it simply, leaving aside the production costs and publicity expenses of the tape, the profit earned by Shengshi Audio and Video is only 20 to 30%!
This is just like the original contract that Ma Xuyi signed with Hongzhi Records, with a 40-60 split.
Hongzhi Records placed all its bets on Ma Xuyan, taking only 60%, and the remaining 40% went to Ma Xuyan.
It can be said that Hongzhi Records at that time was only interested in the reputation of a platinum album, and had ignored all other interests, just to not lose money!
And now Li Qing's status cannot be compared with Ma Xuzhen's.
However, Shengshi Audio and Video still gave Li Qing 40% of the share fee.
Although the cost of tapes is low and cannot be compared with records, it is still quite impressive!
This kind of sharing ratio, for Shengshi Audio and Video, has already placed Li Qing in the same row as the kings and queens like Hua De'an and Leng Ling!
Without a certain degree of self-confidence, Wu Yun would never do this. Obviously, Wu Yun had investigated Li Qing and was very optimistic about Li Qing.
By this time, even Liu Qin had calmed down.
She threw away the hairy crab legs in her hand leisurely, wiped her hands and mouth with a towel, rinsed her mouth slightly, then raised her head and looked at Wu Yun with a different look: "Mr. Wu, I am Li Qing's agent.
, we can talk about the specific matters of tape release."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yun immediately nodded in agreement.
The two women immediately stood up and walked towards a nearby box.
Liu Qin knew very well Li Qing's bottom line on "profit". If he just released tapes, a mere 20% of the profits would not be able to impress Li Qing at all.
Especially in a small place like Hong Kong.
That's why Liu Qin acted calmly just now, because she knew that this little profit couldn't win over Li Qing.
But if it’s 40%…
Then this project has half the chance of success!
As Li Qing's agent, Liu Qin's spirits are naturally boosted when business comes to her. She feels that she is fully obliged to press forward step by step on the basis of this split number!
As Liu Qin and Wu Yun left, cups and glasses continued to be exchanged at the dinner table.
Li Qing clenched his fists and felt his heart trembling.
Half an hour later, Wu Yun and Liu Qin returned hand in hand.
Compared to Wu Yun's forced smile, Liu Qin's expression was more pleasant.
"How about it?"
As soon as she sat down, Xu Wen couldn't wait to ask Liu Qin in a low voice.
Liu Qin proudly made an OK gesture.
Xu Wen saw this gesture, Li Qing also saw it, and others at the table also saw it.
Next, as if they had made an appointment, both parties remained silent about the tape release.
Soon, the dinner ended, and both parties gathered and dispersed happily in a happy atmosphere.
It's night.
Back at the hotel, Liu Qin immediately told the results of the negotiation.
“40% remains unchanged!”
As soon as Liu Qin said this, Fang Haotian frowned.
Xu Wen also widened her eyes: "This..."
After getting along for a while, Li Qing actually somewhat understood Liu Qin's character.
This sexy woman with a hot figure is definitely the same personality as me - she will never suffer!
Therefore, when he saw Liu Qin's proud smile, he did not make a fuss, but quietly waited for the next step.
"but……"
As expected.
Liu Qin changed his voice and blinked in an odd way: "In addition to Hong Kong, seven regions including Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore are also included in the distribution scope, and we can get 40% of the tape sales in all regions.
%! And it’s pure profit, excluding tax!”
"Holy shit!"
Xu Wen was the first to scream.
She just felt like the hairs on her body stood on end and she was completely fried!
My emotions are completely out of control!
40% after tax?
Having been in this industry for a while, how could Xu Wen not know the meaning of Liu Qin's remark.
All sales and circulation links, as long as they are compliant and legal, are generally subject to tax.
Regardless of whether the product is exported or sold domestically, there is still a 17% value-added tax.
Even for the issuing company, the final profit will be reduced by 10 to 20%.
But according to Liu Qin’s words, their 40% does not include tax?
Shengshi Audio and Video is so optimistic about its boss?
"Is there a continent?" Fang Haotian asked with suppressed excitement.
Liu Qin shook his head: "No, but I asked clearly. The distribution channel of Shengshi Audio and Video is actually established based on the distribution channel of Glory Bookstore, because Glory Bookstore has a strategic partnership with Hong Kong Culture Publishing House. And Hong Kong Culture
The publishing house, as well as Shengshi Audio and Video, are also part of the China Film Group. Therefore, there is a certain connection between Shengshi Audio and Video and Glory Bookstore.
In other words, wherever the novel "Looking for Qin" can fly, Li Qing, your tape can fly! Even if there are no mainland channels, the profit we can get in the end is quite considerable!"
