Chapter five hundred bet on yourself
When the firm was established, it directly entrusted an agency.
Now, during the negotiations with Sony, Ye Zhao also understood that he had directly invited lawyers and professionals in this field to help and guide him.
Don't worry about causing trouble when the time comes because you don't understand.
After several contacts, Sony's ideas became almost clear.
"Basically speaking, you will first set up a music production company. Then, on the premise of ensuring that the actual control is on your side, Sony will contribute part of it to help you establish an independent brand affiliated with Sony."
"But the deadline is only three years."
"In these three years, Sony will cooperate with you and provide the publishing and distribution of musical works for singers under your personal label."
"However, in these three years, in addition to your personal label, you will also have to undertake the record production business from Sony through the established music production company and complete the sales of no less than 12 million records."
"If the mission goal is successfully completed in these three years, Sony will give up part of its shareholding and continue to cooperate with you to help you."
“In turn, if you cannot complete your mission goal, you will lose control of the label and sign a three-year record-and-record production contract with Sony. During these three-year cooperation period, you will not be allowed to provide music production to other companies.”
In his office, after listening to the explanation, Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so amazing."
Once this move was used, although he temporarily received three years of help from Sony, during these three years, in order to ensure the completion of the goals set by Sony, he had to focus his work on the other party.
It is even very likely that in order to ensure the goal is completed, I have to transfer the good seedlings I have found to Sony.
If he does it, Sony will make a lot of money. If he can't do it, then he will lose all of it, including himself, which is a big bet for his life.
However, the strict conditions are also expected. Capitalists are not philanthropists. Since they are willing to take over him, they are of course thinking about how to get cramps and bones to extract benefits from him.
"It's true...but, you're at a disadvantage, and that's something that has no choice."
"I won't discuss other places for now, but this is absolutely not possible." Ye Zhao took the lead in pointing out the conditions listed by Sony, "This is absolutely not true about the record production contract."
It’s okay to lose a night of betting and return to before liberation, but signing the contract to sell your body is a bit too much.
In the end, after some negotiations and disputes, the last "must not provide music production for other companies" was cancelled, but the three-year record and record production contract still exists.
Although he got it back a little bit, there was still an obvious unequal contract in general. There was no way. He was not holding a company with some strength waiting to invest, but planned to start from scratch from scratch.
What Sony brings is not that it accommodates his investment funds, but that it can provide him with various recording agency distribution and even agency promotion businesses, which is something that even if you have money, you can't do.
Of course, if he came from a wealthy family and could pay a huge sum of money to establish an issuance company and logistics company by himself, that kind of thing would be a different matter...
But then again, if a family with that kind of strength and still can use such a large amount of money, then what kind of art world can you do?
Since Sony was relieved and willing to accept him, now, he has already found a next home. Ye Zhao's breath that he had been holding since he was preparing to be independent can finally slow down a little.
Of course, it's not time to breathe a sigh of relief.
After finding the next home, the next thing to consider is how to solve the problem of keeping up with the previous home.
If you want to solve it, there may be nothing to solve. As long as you wait until the contract is over and successfully complete the remaining unfinished record production in the contract, you will leave.
However, Ye Zhao never thought about having BEING, which holds the copyright of his record in the past three years, and also BEING, the first company he had been at when he was just starting out, and Ye Zhao had never thought about making his relationship with BEING or Nagato Daiyuki.
It is almost everyone knows about his not planning to renew his contract. It is only after March. In April, there is an official announcement like "Singer Ye Zhao will not renew his contract after the contract with BEING ends."
Under such circumstances, in mid-March, after the matter with Sony was initially concluded, Ye Zhao finally had a showdown with Nagato Daiyuki, explaining his next destination.
After listening to his explanation, Nagato Daiyuki was silent for a while and said only: "Is that true..."
At the same time, Nagato Daiyuki suddenly recalled the self who established BEING with bare hands and entered the music industry with ambition. After that, a feeling of inability to aging that had begun to aging came to his heart.
This made him both envious and a little jealous when he looked at Ye Zhao.
Regarding the fact that he wanted to set up his own brand, Ye Zhao explained to Nagato Daiyuki as: "I want to be more free to make some music I want to make and make various attempts."
"Is that... Ye Jun thinks..." Nagato Daiyuki's reaction was lukewarm.
"Although you will leave BEING later," Ye Zhao said in a serious tone, "but I will never forget the kindness you and the company have brought me for life. In the future, if you need my help, I will come here faster than anyone else."
After hearing this, Nagato Daiyuki said "Oh" and raised his eyes to look at him.
Facing his eyes, Ye Zhao unshakably greeted him. Although the words just now were false, they did have true feelings. And the most powerful thing in the world is naturally half true and half false words.
Naturally, Nagato Daiyuki would not believe in such verbal loyalty. For a person who is about to leave him, anything he says is more of a beautiful word.
At this time, perhaps with a little anger towards him, or with a little temptation, Nagato Yuki did something that was a bit unsustainable in terms of his age and status today.
He asked Ye Zhao directly: "Can you give me a reason to believe Ye Jun's words?"
If you are more blunt, it is: Why should I believe your casually beautiful words?
