Chapter 579 I am so happy to sign a contract with you
He brought Liu Yifei into the room and invited her to sit on the sofa.
Fan Wumian asked someone to bring a laptop, found a folder containing several new songs, and explained:
"These songs were originally intended to be used in concerts in mainland China to send warmth to fans in mainland China. Some of them are also suitable for girls to sing. If you like them, pick one or two. I haven't recorded them yet, so I can sing them live for you to listen to."
Liu Yifei was a little moved after hearing this. She was thinking that if she signed with different companies, the treatment would be very different.
Unlike Sony Music, such a large multinational record company, there are very few good songs under its umbrella, and the aesthetic taste of its executives is also speechless. There are some songs that she obviously likes very much, but they were ultimately rejected.
With eyes curved with laughter, Liu Yifei said with sparkling eyes:
"I'm so happy to be signed to your company. Do Jane Zhang, Zhuang Muxi and others also choose songs in this way? Do you just give them the songs you've already written?"
".That's about right. Which one do you want to listen to first?"
"This, "The Love Story of White Doves and Crows", and this one "Autumn Sorrow and Love Apart". Can you also listen to "Let Me Be Your Eyes"? The names sound very interesting."
There are only six songs on the computer screen, the remaining three are "Under the Sea", "Young Man" and "The Thief".
Fan Wumian released so many songs in one go, and distributed some to Jane Zhang, Zhuang Muxi, Eason Chen, Yang Mi and others. As his inventory of works quickly ran out, he had to try to find good songs outside recently, and he bought more than a dozen songs.
There is no doubt that Liu Yifei has the ability to make money. She has a bright future in the fields of advertising endorsements, film and television dramas, and commercial performances. Fan Wumian didn't feel it was a pity at all to give her some of his inventory.
After all, in the long run, during the 10-year cooperation, this girl can at least contribute hundreds of millions of profits to Fan Wumian, which is equivalent to a small listed company.
Moreover, Liu Yifei's previous experience in the island country has helped her accumulate some popularity in markets such as the island country, South Korea and Southeast Asia. If she strikes while the iron is hot and promotes it, she may become popular throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Of course.
Works such as "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Chinese Paladin" are not popular abroad. Without the solid foundation laid by the famous trilogy, her competitiveness will inevitably appear weaker.
But if she were given a few S-level productions, she might have a chance to become the second Zhuang Muxi and try to gain a foothold in the international market.
When thinking of this, Fan Wumian unexpectedly thought of Liu Shishi.
I am a bit worried that if she follows a similar character route to Liu Yifei, her brilliance will be overshadowed, so I am considering letting Liu Shishi and Yang Mi work together. In recent years, they have mainly starred in costume and fantasy dramas, and will transition to "female-led dramas" when they are a little more mature.
The two of them are still in the stage of accumulating popularity, and their conditions in all aspects are indeed slightly weaker than Liu Yifei. Investing certain resources in Liu Yifei will help Fan Wumian obtain maximum benefits.
Fortunately, the company has enough new projects, so it is reasonable for everyone to share the profits, so as to avoid too much internal conflict.
However, it seems that the number of contracts signed by first-line big-name actors should be slightly controlled, especially for young female stars. It may be okay in the short term, but when the scale grows further, there may not be enough resources to go around.
As for the endorsement, there is no need to worry too much. Xiao Ma Ge has mentioned before that they will join forces with him and integrate resources to open an advertising company. With the size of Penguin Group and Bandit King Media, as long as the channels are built well, it will be easy to stand out from many advertising companies.
now.
Fan Wumian clicked play. He thought he was thicker than a city wall. However, being stared at by Liu Yifei at a close distance made him feel a little awkward and he almost missed the beat.
He first tried singing "Autumn Love and Farewell".
"Two leaves, three leaves, one leaf, one leaf, I miss you
I miss your smiling face
Raindrops in memory of
Commemorate our past
Time spins summer moment autumn
In an instant, love pupa becomes a cocoon.
When he finished singing, Liu Yifei clapped excitedly:
"You're amazing, worthy of your name! The melody is very touching, the type I like."
Fan Wumian raised his hand and said, "Don't panic, wait until you finish listening to them all before making a decision. This song "Autumn Sorrow and Love" is suitable for a chorus, but I'm a little worried that people will focus on the male voice. Try this song "Let Me Be Your Eyes". Although the style is a bit strange and non-mainstream, it's still very addictive. I'm afraid it's very suitable for the taste of young people in mainland China at this time, but it may not be suitable for you to sing."
Holding her chin with her hand and continuing to look at Fan Wumian, Liu Yifei replied:
"Okay, let's listen first."
"Let Me Be Your Eyes" was all the rage on the Internet for a while. There was obviously a reason why it became so popular. The dynamic beat and rap-like singing style successfully distinguished it from ordinary songs and brought a sense of novelty to people.
After listening to part of it, Liu Yifei said:
"I think it's quite interesting, but I really don't think I can handle it. It seems more suitable for you to sing."
After listening to "The Love Drama of White Doves and Crows" again, I felt that this song was quite suitable for Liu Yifei to sing. Fan Wumian found the lyrics and asked her to try it, and she found that it sounded pretty good.
The two discussed for a while.
Fan Wumian continued to help her think of other songs, and took out "See You Tomorrow", "Cappuccino" and "Is It Possible".
Seeing that there were already four songs, Fan Wumian said in a troubled tone:
"I already have four songs, so I might as well add one more and help you create a mini album. This way, at least I can make some money instead of just putting it online and having it reposted everywhere. Tudou doesn't have many subscribers, not to mention music that is so easy to be reposted. If you want to make a lot of money with digital albums, I don't know how long it will take."
Liu Yifei was unable to help. The more she watched, the more she felt that Fan Wumian was unfathomable. Suddenly, she said with emotion:
"I'm so happy to have signed a contract with you. I would have come here earlier. Your songs are very different from those out there."
Fan Wumian was still racking his brain, trying to come up with another song that would suit her.
After much thought, I decided to look up the songs of the "Little Prince of Love Songs" Wang Surong and found a song for Liu Yifei called "Love That Never Breaks Up".
Followed by.
He added:
"As for the trending search, we definitely can't just remove it, but we can think of a way to turn the bad situation into a good one. I'll post a Weibo to clarify for you later, saying that it's none of my business if the song is not good, and I'll help you create a new album soon."
"Ms. Liu, you should also prepare yourself and take some time to record songs. You can also record in Yanjing. You can find a recording studio with good equipment."
"There are also roles in film and television dramas. When the time comes, I can strike while the iron is hot and officially announce a project, which can save millions in promotion costs. I like this kind of traffic popularity the most."
Most of the time, Liu Yifei didn't like to use her brain, and she really enjoyed the feeling of being arranged clearly by Fan Wumian. She smiled and said:
"Thank you, boss. You don't have to call me Miss Liu. My nickname is Xixi. The last album was a loss, and Sony Music didn't compensate me a penny. How do I calculate this now?"
Fan Wumian crossed his legs and explained:
"It's very simple. After deducting the production costs from the profits, the rest is the same as the advertising and film remuneration, and we split it 50-50. Some resources may seem unimportant, but they are actually very valuable. For example, helping with promotion through Tudou, Penguin Weibo, and Penguin Music is worth millions, so I don't take it for nothing."
The benefits of cooperating with an agency are obvious. It can not only provide various resources, but also help with promotion, public relations, and forming an assistant team.
For example, this time Liu Yifei was listed on the hot search list and ridiculed. If it was not handled properly, her popularity might plummet. However, in Fan Wumian's view, it was just a minor inconvenience.
There are other additional benefits, such as finding someone in the circle to support you and avoid other troubles.
Liu Yifei did not feel bad about giving half of the money she made to Fan Wumian in the future. She replied:
"Okay, I'm just asking for clarification. I didn't read the terms carefully when you asked me to sign a contract some time ago. Your sailing yacht is enough for me to earn for 10 years. You wouldn't just sit there doing nothing and bully a little actor like me."
"If you were a bit actress, how would other actresses survive?"
After Fan Wumian finished speaking, he continued:
"You have just changed jobs and have not yet caught up with many arrangements. Please be patient for a while. We are already coordinating the project arrangements for next year and preparing to find two new roles for you." (End of this chapter)
