326. Contract negotiation
Yoshida Mika and Masato Nakamura were familiar with each other, and Shinji Kurishima, who came with Watanabe Manyumi, also introduced himself. Even without asking why, Hirai Kazuo thought a little, he immediately wanted to get the answer.
"Hello."
Shinichi Iwahashi politely greeted the people on CBS Sony, and his eyes returned to Hirai Ichio who wanted to speak but stopped, and took the initiative to say: "San Hirai, please take care of you next."
"Iwahashi Sang," Hirai Kazuo said, "It's really incredible."
The face that showed a magical smile from time to time was a little incredible and a little reasonable at this moment.
The male giraffe keyboardist in Dereamsetru is one of the band's planners. The answer to remove the mask is like this. CBS Sony's people were also deeply surprised.
However, after a momentary accident, without even communication, everyone reached a consensus and regarded this as a secret that only the relationship could know and not be disclosed to the public.
As Shinichi Iwahashi calculated in advance, as long as dreamsetrue wins the championship, no matter which record company he signed, no matter whether the person in contact knows his identity or not, no one will make this public.
Dreamsetru's talent is obvious to all. If you sign a band company, you won't be able to draw a band that you have finally signed and planned to push hard. The program's high ratings and the possibility of continuously sending newcomers will also eliminate the possibility of other related players revealing this matter and offending the industry.
For CBS Sony, it doesn't matter who the person under the headgull is, what matters is this band.
...
As soon as the meeting was met, the small accident was immediately taken over as an interlude. The three parties each sat down in their own positions, and the negotiations officially began.
The prior understanding is sufficient, and the signing intentions of u-miz or band are also strong. In this case, it is not difficult to carry out the negotiations.
The signing conditions given by CBS Sony are not the best among the record companies that hold the bid, but in the industry, it is also a contract that is more friendly to newcomers.
The term of the first contract is five years. Although it is not short, it is not a long sell-off contract. During the contract period, at least one album must be made every year. After the contract expires, CBS Sony has the priority renewal right. The signing fee is three million yen, which is a very delicious number. As a newcomer, it is a credit to the band's Heavenly Kingdom champion.
The share is the mainstream 28-8 share in the industry. As a newcomer, there is no room for negotiation in this regard. What is more special is that Miwa-chan proposes that the share obtained by the band will be delivered to the three people in an equal way.
Although you can only help you bounce the keyboard and score evenly, it is really great to be Zeng Yi.
The company's share is from the company, and the lyrics and music royalties are paid by the Music Association. According to the existing royalty system, Miwa-chan, which combines lyrics, compositions and singing, will undoubtedly become the highest-paid among the three.
Brother Nakamura, who gradually began to participate in composing music and partnered with Miwa-chan, will also have a surge in income. The premise is that the band can sell well after its mainstream debut, otherwise, there will be no money for royalties.
In contrast, Shinichi Iwahashi participated in the arrangement, and because the arrangement cannot exist independently, it generally does not enjoy royalty allocation and is paid in one lump sum. Even in this contract, the arrangement agreed to participate in the royalty allocation is only a few hundred percent.
In this way, the income gap will be widened between the three members.
Even so, Shinichi Iwahashi completely ignored it. It is natural to have more work and get more work. Of course, there are other reasons.
"In the previous feedback, the three have always emphasized the autonomy of music. We are also willing to respect the three of you as dreamsetrue and try our best to support the three of you." CBS Sony's words are very relaxed.
So, as the leader of the band, as the band leader, in the eyes of people at CBS Sony, Shinichi Iwahashi, whose producer identity is greater than the band keyboardist identity, was invited to join the production lineup of Dreamsetru and participate in the subsequent music production as one of the producers.
With his name as a producer, even one of the producers, it guarantees the band's autonomy in music.
But this also brings another role, that is, Shinichi Iwahashi, who has no advantage in royalties distribution, has joined the production lineup and can directly participate in the distribution of record sales. Just like the more records are sold, the more Miwa-chan gets royalties, the more records are sold, Shinichi Iwahashi's income will also increase.
In this way, the income gap between the three teammates will be slightly widened, so as not to cause uneven distribution of spoils to be torn up. Of course, for Shinichi Iwahashi, whose main business is music production, he would never take this kind of thing to heart.
Before we started talking about the contract, CBS Sony's legal counsel came in and took charge of the contract discussion throughout the process.
During this period, some bargaining, such as Shinichi Iwahashi joining the band's production team, which was decided on the spot. After revealing his identity, some things also changed.
Regardless of whether he is successful as a music producer now, at least his current identity is a "music producer". Therefore, when CBS Sony looks at him, it is different from ordinary musicians.
After discussions one by one, the contract will be revised again, and then it will be delivered to Watanabe Manyumi's u-miz and the band. After the review is correct, the contract will be officially signed. Then it will be prepared for the debut press conference and will be announced to the world through the band's Heavenly Kingdom program.
After talking about the contract, the next thing we will discuss is what kind of debut strategy to adopt.
There are some fixed models in this regard. For example, the debut promotion of singers is a three-day performance across the country, while the debut promotion of idol singers is exposed with great fanfare.
"Sorry, can I give you a little advice?" Shin Iwahashi raised his hand.
Once his identity was exposed, Shinichi Iwahashi's voice in this conference room was invisibly improved. Even if he thought this giraffe man was a mascot, he would never ignore his opinions now.
Because, now it is clear that he is the "master behind the band Dreamsetrue".
"Do you have any good suggestions? Iwahashi Kan." A kind smile appeared on Hirai Iwai's face, who was responsible for building a bridge between all parties.
"It's not a novel idea," said Shinichi Iwahashi. "If you make a debut single, if nothing unexpected happens, the title song should be "So happy! So happy! So love it!", right?"
"Yes." Hirai Kazuo replied.
"My thought is, can the promotion of debut be used as an advertisement for a certain advertisement and broadcast it on TV."
"It would be even better if it could be broadcast during the band's Heavenly Advertisement," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
