With the appearance of Adès, many spectators in the back row cheered again. She was so popular that many long-established stars were jealous.
I have worked hard for many years, why can’t I compare to a kid who just debuted for a few months? I can’t figure it out!
There is no way, those who win the trend will win the world. Whoever follows the trend will become a trend maker. "Baby Oime" follows the development trend of popular culture. It is strange that Adès is not popular!
"Jimmy, you got here first?"
At this time, a figure appeared in the row in front of Liu Lang. It was Michael Jackson. He was still dressed in the same style, wearing a hat and sunglasses, trying to keep out any sunlight.
"Michael!"
Liu Lang stood up and said hello to each other. The relationship between the two is very good now, and they can be regarded as friends after the year.
Michael Jackson liked to talk to Liu Lang very much. He got a lot of inspiration when the other party casually hummed a tune. This powerful "musical sense" made him feel inferior. Not only music, Liu Lang also had a lot of knowledge about dance.
Unexpected ideas, any few dance steps are new.
"This time your Shengtang has more than a dozen nominations, but it's not easy to break my record!"
Michael Jackson said with a smile that he won seven gold awards at the Grammy Awards four years ago, becoming the singer with the most single awards in history, but he also made a big joke.
The prize was a 30-centimeter-tall phonograph, which weighed more than a kilogram. Each gold medalist received a gramophone. As a result, at the meeting after the award ceremony, Michael Jackson almost lost his waist while carrying seven gramophones alone.
The scene made people laugh and cry. This is not to blame the Grammy organizing committee. After all, they never thought that someone would win seven trophies at once.
Later, the Grammy organizing committee remade the trophy, reducing it from the original 30 centimeters to 12 centimeters, and the weight was reduced by more than half.
Of course, Michael Jackson was a sweet trouble that many singers couldn't even imagine.
"Michael, this year we only have three songs selected. It's normal not to get so many. Next year, Shengtang Company will release at least six different singles. Adese will also release an album. One day we will win the Grammy Award."
I will surpass you, after all, we in Shengtang have many singers!"
"That's true, with a musical genius like you in charge, Shengtang Company will surpass Sony and Universal sooner or later!"
"Michael, why don't you collaborate with our Shengtang on your latest album?"
Liu Lang suddenly sent out an invitation.
"Haha, my price is too high, your Shengtang contract is too low, I am only interested in you personally...!"
Michael Jackson said with a smile.
Michael Jackson has his own production team and can produce albums by himself, but he still cooperates with Sony Music, mainly to share costs. The cost of producing an excellent album can sometimes reach millions of dollars, which is more expensive than many movies.
Although Michael Jackson is a superstar, he is not 100% sure that his album will be a hit. Sony paid him and used the company's powerful marketing channels to promote him. Michael Jackson basically did not have any preliminary preparations.
With such investment, he would not suffer any financial losses even if the album failed, and he would get 60% of the final profit share.
This is the treatment of a superstar. For an ordinary singer, you can only get 40% at most. If you are an ordinary singer, you may not even get a share. One album will give you 100,000 to 80,000 yuan.
The contracts signed by young singers like Adès and Shengtang are naturally for newcomers. First of all, the company guarantees the basic living security of the signed singers. The salary is the same as that of the company's mid-level employees, about more than 40,000 US dollars a year, but they must accept the salary provided by the company.
Professional training and arrangements.
The rookie contract requires each person to release three singles. If the single sells well, they will receive a reward of 5% of the record profit.
Adès's first single has now brought a profit of 40 million US dollars to Shengtang Company. Five percent is more than 2 million US dollars. Jessica's "Thank You" has also earned more than 20 million US dollars so far.
, her share also exceeds one million, and Sibela's "only time" has sales of more than 20 million US dollars.
Of course, these songs were all released this year and will only last for half a year at most. Their income will continue to increase.
Shengtang Company's system for treating newcomers is much better than that of other companies in the United States. Newcomers can get a 5% share. After the newcomer period, that is, they have fulfilled the requirements in the newcomer's contract. If they continue to work with Shengtang
The signing is for a 15% share, which will be increased by 10%. This is an elite contract. If this contract is still completed, then the next contract will be a lifetime contract, and the share will reach 35%. This
It is also the current contract for A-list celebrities in the United States.
As for Michael Jackson, who is the only one who has a 70-30 split with the signing company, he is an exception. Madonna only signed a large contract with Universal Records that is a 40-60 split. There are only a handful of people in Hollywood who can reach this level.
The highest share of the Shengtang Company's contract does not reach the level of a superstar. Even if Adaisi is extremely popular now, if she does not leave Shengtang, her share can only reach a maximum of 3%.
Fifteen, it seems like a loss, but don’t forget, how many emperor-level figures are there like Michael Jackson? Only one will appear in twenty or thirty years, and a superstar like Madonna only happens once in ten years. Her work is
On the one hand, it also depends on personal talents and opportunities of the times.
The contract formulated by Shengtang Company is completely from the perspective of ordinary people. For a singer like Jessica, the probability of her becoming a superstar is too small. The upper limit is only a first-class singer. I don’t know how much it will cost to achieve this goal.
Time, I'm afraid it would be impossible to change to other music companies for ten to eight years. During this period, you can only receive fixed remuneration. Don't even think about sharing this kind of treatment. Only Shengtang Company will do this, so
This contract form of Shengtang Company is really attractive to those young singers.
Of course, Shengtang Company's signing conditions are more difficult than other companies. After all, Liu Lang's songs are all popular songs in his previous life. Basically, as long as they are produced and a suitable person is found to sing them, they will become popular and sell for millions.
Zhang is not a problem, that’s why
Is this the reason why Liu Lang does not allow the profit share to be raised too high? Even if Adaisi leaves Shengtang to go to other companies to earn high salaries in the future, he will not worry, because Shengtang's development does not rely on those singers, but on himself.
, with Liu Lang here, Shengtang will definitely continue to grow stronger.
However, if Michael Jackson cooperates with Shengtang, the price will definitely not be divided according to this ratio. Liu Lang knows that every record of the other party is a big seller, at least with a sales volume of nearly 100 million US dollars, even after the other party's death
After that, the annual song copyright fees were tens of millions of dollars. Of course, since the other party didn't agree, it was fine. Liu Lang just casually said that he had so many good songs and he would still be successful even without Michael Jackson.
