Chapter 181 Sign the contract

Li Yanhong arrived half an hour in advance, and Xia Ge came downstairs to pick her up.

Today, Li Yanhong was wearing a very professional dress, and the red Lamborghini he drove over came, and his aura was very strong.

Tony, who accompanied Xia Ge to pick up the people, was shocked. Seeing Xia Ge and Li Yanhong talking and laughing, Tony became even more nervous.

I hope the signing will go smoothly later.

Xia Ge introduced to Tony: "This is my aunt, Li Yanhong. Auntie is Tony, Sony's music producer."

Li Yanhong took off her sunglasses, shook hands with Tony with a smile, and she could put them down at once.

She has seen many worlds with John, so she is not nervous about Sony people. She said calmly: "Let's go, I'll help you see the contract."

No greetings, straight to the topic.

Tony had to take the two back to the reception room with them. This contract was naturally Sony's standard contract at the beginning. It would be best if Xia Ge did not find any loopholes in the contract and signed the contract directly.

The room was filled with the sound of flipping paper, just two copies, Xia Ge and his aunt each took one copy.

Half an hour later, Li Yanhong frowned and signaled Tony to go out. She planned to chat with Xia Ge alone.

After Tony left, Li Yanhong said: "Xiaoge, this contract is very standard, but there are no answers to several key questions."

Xia Ge didn't find any loopholes after watching it for a long time. Sony helped him record the song and released the album, which was divided into 40%. This was the result of his argument.

"Auntie, teach me," Xia Ge said quickly.

Li Yanhong flipped the contract and pointed to the middle page and said: "There is no problem with the share, but the contract does not guarantee the promotion resources Sony gives you. He said he was responsible for all expenses, but there is no specific standard. He has not specified when the share will be paid. If Sony wants to get stuck, he only needs to falsely report the marketing expenses, or delay the distribution of the share for one or two years, you will suffer."

"There is also copyright sharing. You only have a small share of the copyright money. This contract is a scam!"

Xia Ge was confused after listening to it. It turned out that there were so many traps in the contract that seemed normal. He originally planned to ask a legal counsel to help him sign the contract.

But who knows if the person invited will show him the contract so carefully, but fortunately my aunt is there.

"It seems that Sony can't cooperate anymore, it's so tricky. I almost trust them." Xia Ge said angrily.

"No need, their channels are still very strong. If you release an album and ask them to take charge of everything, there will be a lot of things left. But you have to refine the terms and leave them to me to talk to them." Li Yanhong said confidently.

She just looked at the complete contract and could still see that Sony has some sincerity, but there are also traps. As long as she revises and changes, it will be very suitable for Xia Ge.

Calling back Tony, Li Yanhong talked about the problem again.

Originally, Xia Ge and Tony reached a cooperation intention in China, and Tony also found the bottom line where the manager was. So after Sony Music's legal affairs came, the new contract was negotiated quickly.

Two hours later, a brand new contract was born.

"The split remains unchanged. You can use Sony's equipment to produce albums at will, and first hit the single. If 10 songs are in the top 20 of the announcement chart, 50,000 albums will be released, the top 10 will be 200,000, the top 5 will be 500,000, and the top three songs will all be sold in millions. So Sony will also advance funds, give Xia Ge 1 million, and use its own channels to help sell it." Tony said.

Xia Ge is quite satisfied with this, and the most important thing is to stipulate the funding indicators for advance payment. The promotional fee is also clearly marked, and Xia Ge will only conduct it if he agrees.

Don’t be afraid that Sony will give a sky-high promotional fee in the end and eat Xia Ge’s share.

"Most of it is good for you. Copyright Sony accounts for 30% of the profit dividends. Do you have any objection?" Tony said, pointing to one of the terms.

Originally, Sony killed 50% of the copyright income, including paid downloads in music stores, covers, film and television quotations, etc.

In the end, Xia Ge gave up other conveniences provided by Sony, such as pick-up and drop-off rankings, hotel services and other messy things before discussing them.

Strictly speaking, Xia Ge and Sony are really purely collaborative. They just have close cooperation. If they want to help arrange TV shows, such as talk shows, etc., Xia Ge has to pay for it separately. Originally, these were free.

"You will arrange radio interviews across the United States in 15 continents of the United States and play the charts. Now all you have to do is record two to three songs, start running the itinerary, and strive to get it done in one month." Tony smiled.

Xia Ge nodded, the hard days are coming.

Under Li Yanhong's reassuring eyes, Xia Ge signed the name on the two contracts.

Perhaps because Xia Ge changed the contract, the leadership meeting was also cancelled.

Xia Ge and Sony Music collaborated entirely through Tony. Tony was responsible for anything.

I made an appointment to start recording songs tomorrow, and Xia Ge and Li Yanhong went downstairs together. Today I continued to go back to my aunt's house to eat and drink, and I stopped staying in the hotel.

All the things were moved back to my aunt's house and he would drive around next. Tony would arrange an assistant to join him and introduce the radio staff to Xia Ge to meet him.

I will only accept some interviews when the new song is released for a while.

After Xia Ge left, Tony returned to Colin Bryan's office to report on the signing results.

"I'll record tomorrow, and I will cooperate with him with all my strength. However, when he is playing the ranking, he will arrange some medium-sized radio stations. When he finishes the ranking, he finds that there is no effect and wants to be on TV, I will report it to him at the most expensive price." Tony said with a stern face.

He didn't want to do this, but that was what the manager meant. He could only do it.

Seeing Tony's little emotion, Colin Brian stood up and gave him a cigar, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "This is all for him to sign a contract. You don't want to see him become really popular and run to cooperate with other people, right?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will become popular?" Tony couldn't help but say.

"I expect him to be a little popular. If the song is sung by a white man, it has the potential to be in the top ten. Even if we give him the best resources, it will be around 20 at most."

"That's it. If he becomes popular, we will make money. If he doesn't become popular, he will work hard on his own. Our company will not suffer any losses. I still hope he will be popular." Colin Brian sat back on the boss's chair, lit his cigar, and took a deep breath.

"I get it..." Tony said disappointed.

"Tony, I found a white guy for you. You can make an album for him. Maybe he is another superstar. Xia, who has no future. When he has some achievements and is willing to give in, he can put him back to Asia. In this way, you will be worthy of his trust." Colin Brian exhaled a sip of white smoke and said relaxedly.

"Hey, I really think he may become a global superstar..."
