The program version of "Wumeizijiang" will generate revenue if it is authorized to the program operator, and the revenue will need to be shared with the singer Jin Lan.
In accordance with industry practice, the program team decided to split the profits 50-50, but this was obviously unacceptable to Chen Ya.
Why did Jin Lan deserve 50% of the profits? Saying she had no effect was flattering her. It was simply a side effect.
Even giving her 10% was too much for Chen Ya. He wanted to seal up the version sung by Jin Lan and let someone else sing the song again.
He gave her 10% because she sang the song well on stage without forgetting the lyrics. Not giving her a share would be too cruel, so Chen Ya still gave her 10%.
Chen Ya is not short of money, the main thing is to understand this principle.
Jin Lan slammed the contract shut and clenched her fists, saying, "Why are you so harsh? Just because you say so, doesn't mean it's okay?"
Chen Ya pursed his lips at his assistant and said, "Ask her if my words count."
Jin Lan looked at the assistant and found that the assistant looked embarrassed, so she shook her head slightly.
It seems that he really has the final say.
Chen Ya turned around and continued writing, saying, "The profit sharing ratio is nine to one. If you don't accept it, I can choose not to sign this contract."
"I don't accept it!" Jin Lan shouted, "I don't have to sign this contract either."
The assistant beside him said calmly, "I must remind you two, if you don't sign this contract, it will be considered a violation of the previous contract, and the production team has the right to suspend you from traveling abroad."
Hearing this, Jin Lan's heart skipped a beat, but Chen Liang remained indifferent.
"It has nothing to do with me. This clause was not included in my previous contract."
"No?" The assistant was a little surprised, but then calmed down. "No, then no, but if your songs can't be uploaded, your final scores for the first round won't be counted, and you might be eliminated, okay?"
Hearing this, Jin Lan became nervous again.
She had finally got this opportunity, there was no way she would give up participating in the show.
Chen Ya said, "There's no need to threaten me. You can go ask the director for advice. If the director is undecided, you can ask higher-ups for advice. I need to write a song now. You two can go out. I'll give you time to discuss it."
Jin Lan and the assistant looked at each other and found that Chen Ya was really unmoved, so they had to leave.
After closing the door, the assistant asked curiously, "Why is your relationship so bad? Did you really offend him so badly?"
Jin Lan said impatiently, "How could I? He's the one who's been targeting me!"
As she spoke, she started to cry a little, and she looked really pitiful.
The assistants began to sympathize with her.
"Indeed, Chen Liang is a stubborn person. He's too demanding. How could he only give a singer 10% of the profit?"
Jin Lan asked anxiously, "I can't accept this profit-sharing ratio no matter what. Are they just going to leave it alone? Are they going to kick me out for bullying me like this?"
The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go ask the director for instructions."
After saying that, before leaving, she patted Jin Lan's shoulder again and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."
Jin Lan nodded, looking pitiful.
After the assistant left, she changed her expression again, took out her cell phone and called her producer.
After explaining the whole story to the producer on the phone, the person on the other end fell silent.
"Is the other party sure Jiuyi won't give in?" the producer asked on the phone. "Not even an inch?"
Jin Lan gnashed her teeth and said, "Yes, that petty person. I just said something to him on stage, and he targeted me like this."
The producer thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the revenue from this single isn't what's important. If we set this standard, we'll continue to suffer huge losses whenever we work with him."
"Right!" Jin Lan exclaimed in surprise. "I'm collaborating with him in the next round too. Does that mean I can only get 10% of the next song?"
"So this is the problem," the producer said. "Well, your single's popularity has already come out. I can calculate the approximate revenue. How about we wait until the calculation is done and then decide what to do?"
Jin Lan nodded first, then shook her head and said, "No, I still can't swallow this anger."
The producer said, "That's fine. I'll estimate it first. You can tell him later that you should do this and that... Remember that?"
Jin Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, let's do it."
After a pause, the producer said, "This method can be saved for last. He's breaking the rules, and the production team won't break the rules for a newcomer like him."
"Huh? The assistant director of the program also said that he would help me get it." Jin Lan nodded, feeling a little better.
After a while, the assistant came back.
The steps are a bit solemn.
Seeing Jin Lan's scorching eyes, the assistant was a little overwhelmed and said:
"Uh, Miss Jin Lan, I've already reported the situation to the director, and he's consulted his superiors..."
"How is it?" Jin Lan asked expectantly.
"It says, 'Just do as he says,'" the assistant said with a look of embarrassment.
"What do you mean by just do as he says? And who says so?" Jin Lan asked.
The assistant pointed to the door of the room: "Him."
"he?"
Jin Lan's brain went blank for a moment.
Didn’t the production team agree that they wouldn’t break the rules for a newcomer?
Chen Liang is practically bullying the entire production team, and yet they remain silent? And they're just saying, "Just do what he says"?
