051 [is a star, but also grassroots]
After deducting the national tax revenue and studio sharing, Ye Cheng's net income this time was 2.93 million.
In fact, this is a mess, because Fengyun Entertainment Studio only has an agency contract with Ye Cheng, but no singer record contract. So, according to reason, Ye Cheng only needs to pay a commission for the money for selling songs.
But the studio actually spent 350,000 yuan to help him promote and hype it, and then Ke Liang kept working hard for it. It can be said that all these songs are operated by the studio, and it is unreasonable to only give the financial commission.
Finally, everyone negotiated a number, and the difference between the two was only about 200,000 yuan, and Ye Cheng and Ke Liang didn't take it seriously.
But the rules were set, so Ke Liang found someone to re-design a contract.
Ye Cheng may be the artist who changed contracts the fastest. He changed three copies in a month, which was impossible to put in a regular company. Even if he changed contracts due to his reputation, he had to delay the quarrel for a year or two. The small studio has its own small studio.
The new contract is more standardized. In terms of commercial performance income, Ye Cheng's share with the studio is changed to 7:2:1. That is, Ye Cheng takes 70% of the income alone, 20% of the income is used for Ye Cheng's promotion funds, and the remaining 10% is drawn by the studio. This is the treatment that only big-name artists have.
Ke Liang even voluntarily gave up his agent's commission and instead received a fixed salary and bonus. This move shows that he does not look down on immediate interests at all, and what he intends to do is even bigger.
In addition, if Ye Cheng releases a new song in the future, he will sign an authorization contract and hand it over to the studio for promotion and marketing. The terms of the song sales will be calculated according to the authorization contract. At the same time, Ke Liang is also actively contacting Dadi Records, hoping to sign Ye Cheng's singers with Dadi Records, which will be more conducive to Ye Cheng's future development.
Signing a single singer contract but not a broker contract is very common when the record market is booming. For example, a popular movie star wants to release a record company, and his agency can help contact the record company and sign the singer's appointment separately. But it is difficult to operate now, because selling songs alone is no longer profitable, and music companies that have not yet closed down are basically transforming into entertainment agency companies.
"Pioneer Music" wants to ask you for an exclusive interview, and I have agreed to you."
"There are a few small brands that want to ask you to take advertisements, but I am still screening them. I will not answer any drug advertisements. I need to understand and verify the others. As long as the product is fine, I can go one or two next."
"Qili Ice Black Tea has planned a HIGH song campus tour event, which will tour 24 universities across the country. If you run 24 performances, Qili Ice Black Tea is willing to pay 2.4 million yuan."
“…”
Ke Liang threw out one news, which made Ye Cheng overwhelmed. Especially those commercial performances, in Ye Cheng's opinion, all of them were money, and it would be a pity to give up any order.
The students who participated in "The Voice of China" last year now have the worst appearance fee of 50,000, while the two or three more famous have the appearance fee of more than 500,000, which is equivalent to the price of first-line artists. Although "The Voice of China" has only been aired for one episode, the students who perform well are worth a lot of money. Ye Cheng's appearance fee has risen to 350,000, and the vicissitudes of the uncle Li Mingyi also has an appearance fee of 250,000.
Ke Liang analyzed: "I think you should participate in this HIGH song campus tour. Although on average, each performance is only 100,000 yuan, the performance venue is in major universities across the country, which can expand your influence and popularity among the youth group. Of course, I will talk about the specific price again, hoping that they can increase to 3 million."
Ye Cheng said with some concern: "It will take a lot of time to record the knockout match of "Good Chinese Songs" in more than a month. Is there any conflict in schedules?"
Ke Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to coordinate the arrangements. But you must be mentally prepared. In the future, you may not have enough time to rest. You just finished singing in Ha. Erbin in the morning, and you will go back to Beijing to perform in the afternoon. You will also fly to the sea to record the program, and the rest and dinner time is all on the plane."
"This is okay. You should work harder when you are young." Ye Cheng didn't mind this. In fact, many celebrities are in this state of life. They are not used to it when they are idle, because that means that their popularity has declined and no one invites them.
"Okay, let's clean up, there's another performance tonight." Ke Liang was very satisfied with Ye Cheng's performance. There were many young people who became popular overnight, but few of them developed well. During this period, they were all kinds of big names and had problems. It was rare to be able to keep a normal mind like Ye Cheng.

After lunch, Ye Cheng immediately flew to Shandong to participate in a Qingdao Beer Festival event.
Since Ke Liang had a lot of things to deal with, Ye Cheng had to go alone, and there was not even a living assistant by his side.
When we arrived at the event, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Before Ye Cheng could report his name, he was recognized by the staff there.
"Hello, Teacher Ye, I'm calling you an event receptionist Liu Caixia, just call me Xiao Liu." A girl in her twenties shook hands enthusiastically.
Ye Cheng had a lot of outfits, with both Pipa and Erhu. As for the guitar needed for the performance, it was provided by the event party. He put down two piano cases and said, "Hello Miss Liu, please trouble you."
"Teacher Ye, you are so kind. You haven't had a meal yet, why don't you just have a working meal?" Liu Caixia thought Ye Cheng was very interesting, not like a star at all. This Beer Festival invited a total of seven or eight performing guests, including professional singers and talent shows celebrities like Ye Cheng. But other celebrity guests came at the right time, so no one Ye Cheng arrived more than two hours in advance, and he didn't bring anyone around him, so he came with his outfit on his back.
If it were other celebrities, even if they arrived early, they would find a place to sit, have a cup of coffee or have a meal, and then come to participate in the performance by estimating the time. However, Ye Cheng was participating in a large-scale event for the first time, so he attached great importance to this commercial performance and went to the event site in advance to have a work meal.
He is very popular, but he is actually a grassroots penis.
The Beer Festival officially opened at 8 o'clock. Ye Cheng was bored after finishing his work meal, so he simply helped the staff to debug the performance equipment. His performance was 350,000 yuan, and the organizer of the event was quite generous, so it didn't matter if he helped with more work.
The staff brought boxes of Qingdao Beer. Before the event started, the scene was crowded. As the opening approached, the performance guests also arrived one after another, including a few stars that Ye Cheng knew.
"Hello, Brother Wei, I am Ye Cheng." Ye Cheng took the initiative to say hello to them. Everyone is from the circle, so it would be no harm to get to know each other more.
Wei Yuan is a singer who has been in the industry for nearly 10 years and has released several records before. He held Ye Cheng's hand and smiled: "Hello, hello, I like your song "Dongfengpo", which is nice!"
After exchanging phone calls with Wei Yuan, Ye Cheng immediately looked for the next one: "Hello, Sister Zhang, I am Ye Cheng."
"Hello Xiao Ye, you are more handsome than on TV." Zhang Huiling was a student of "The Voice of China". Speaking of which, everyone is the same type of person, so they all feel very close to each other.
Just as Ye Cheng greeted other stars, a sarcastic voice suddenly appeared: "Oh, isn't this popular newcomer Ye Cheng? I just saw you adjusting the audio on the stage and thought you were a staff member."
When Ye Cheng heard the sound, he saw that it was a popular online singer Zhang Yixuan. He didn't know when he offended this person, so he greeted him politely: "Hello Brother Zhang, please take care of him in the future."
"I don't have you, hehe, the explorer of new Chinese music." Zhang Yixuan looked at Ye Cheng coldly. He is the leading singer of Huayan Music. Since the song "Dongfeng Po" became popular, Zhang Yixuan felt very comfortable because this song was almost bought and sang it.
It's like someone picked up 100 yuan on the road and lost it. Although it wasn't his money, he always felt that he had suffered a big loss.
