Chapter 230： who takes advantage

Bianwen Yi Bell is only nineteen years old this year, but he can give people an old-fashioned feeling. Of course, there are many kinds of geniuses in this world, including business geniuses and negotiating geniuses. Although Evan-Bell is smart, but in fact his biggest reliance is his reason. The experience of two lifetimes makes him very clear about his bargaining chips and bottom line every time he negotiates, and supplemented by his eloquence, which makes him in the world. At least every negotiation will not be backed down.

When negotiating with Apple's godfather Steve Jobs, Evan Bell actually had the upper hand, but he was very clear about his bargaining chip, grasped the balance very well, and adhered to the bottom line very accurately, so he was negotiating with Steve Jobs. There was no loss in the confrontation. Instead, he successfully acquired Apple's stock and promoted the commercialization of digital music.

After negotiating with Fremantle Media, Evan-Bell grew a bit, and the strong man broke the arm and gave up the majority of his interests, losing all the interests around the draft, in exchange for the most important copyright.

As the most straightforward "Pop Idol" draws to a close, Fremantle Media and ITV are planning...a top 10 contestant tour. Everyone knows that the most profitable singers in the world are not releasing albums, but concerts. The profits of a concert are calculated in units of millions or even tens of millions. And now, this part of the interests has nothing to do with Evan-Bell, and will be shared by Fremantle Media and ITV.

But it was Evan-Bell's sober reason, which allowed him to hold 60% of the copyright dividend when the chips were not enough. At the beginning, Evan Bell had only one idea. He didn't have the ability to produce a program, sell it to TV stations, or run the program. If Fremantle Media went out and stole the idea, it would be "Pop Idol" was produced, and Evan Bell could only hide in the corner and cry. Therefore, although Evan Bell's broken wrist was tragic, he gained the greatest benefit.

Today, Evan-Bell's sacrifice has ushered in a second income, proving Evan-Bell's wisdom. Players have priority to sign contracts, which was not of much value in the eyes of the Fremantle media. After all, they are looking at "pop idols" from the perspective of an entertainment show

However, there is still a lack of sufficient understanding of the effects that the contestants can bring. Now, Evan Bell is able to use this power to bring him an income no less than that of a concert.

It is not yet clear who has the upper hand in negotiations with Fremantle Media about "pop icons".

The same is true today.

"Twenty percent?" Simeng-Fowler was surprised at Evan-Bell's request, not because Evan-Bell's lion opened his mouth, but because this condition was too weird, far beyond Simeng-Bell's request. Le's idea.

Evan-Bell nodded. The experience of negotiating several times before and after has made Evan-Bell more calm. At this moment, he always showed the general style that did not fit the nineteen-year-old general. Many benefits of "100,000 in liquidated damages for each player, then 20% of the player's income over the next ten years."

As far as the alum is concerned, Studio Eleven has contracts with the top ten players, and any record company that wants to sign off the players must pay Studio Eleven liquidated damages. However, the liquidated damages proposed by Evan Bell are too low. In Simeng-Fowler's expectation, the liquidated damages should be the largest, and his lowest bottom line is 2.5 million for the ten players, the package price. But now it's really an accident.

Ximeng-Fowler sees it very clearly. To sign a contract, it is necessary to pack and sign ten players in one go. This is the most cost-effective. Now that the game has reached the semifinals, the championship is still three weeks away. At that time, the championship will definitely be hot, and maybe even the runner-up will have a rush.

After all, this is the first-year champion of the talent show. All record companies hope to be one step ahead of others. At that time, it is possible for a player's liquidated damages to be fired to 500,000, or even millions of British charts.

Although the value of talent drafting singers is still in the quest stage, the popularity of the talent show in the first year of the talent show is seen by all record companies, and no one will ignore it.

These players are still ordinary people, but after the game, they are rookie singers with supporters. The nose machine among them can be seen by any record company.

Signing a contract is also a matter of timing.

The champion must have the highest liquidated damages, and the runner-up is second. Of course, unexpected peaks are also possible, but the probability is small. Well, before the championship and runner-up results come out,

The value of the top ten players is up for grabs. This is also the reason why Ximeng-Fowler chose to come to the door at this time. If you sign a single player, such as the champion, then the competition is fierce and the price is not cheap.

But now that the contract is signed, everything is different. Before the championship is decided, the value of the top ten players is the same, or at least not much different. But to estimate one by one, that would be a foolish idea. Therefore, Ximeng-Fowler came up with a package contract, and each player has an average price. As long as one or two of them release a record successfully, then they can earn all the tickets.

West Méng-Fowler originally thought that Evan Bell would not pack, after all, there was a future champion in the middle, and packing would definitely be the biggest loss for his interests: Second, he refused to lower the price, and now he has a contract With Evan Bell in hand, he can make a **** and start the price. Simeng-Fowler also knows that Evan Bell has a good relationship with Warner Records, so he might kill Cheng Yaojin halfway.

But I didn't expect that Evan-Belken packaged, did not lower the price, and the liquidated damage was far lower than expected, but proposed a "20% of the income" is very worth pondering.

Twenty percent of the income, the specific explanation is very simple, that is, the top ten players will pass through the concave entertainment company in the next ten years, and 20% of the income must be distributed to the eleven studio first, and then the rest Eighty percent will be divided by concave entertainment, players, and other links.

For example, Will Yiyang released a single and earned 1 million UK charts. There are 200,000 UK charts to be distributed to Eleven Studios first, and the remaining 800,000 UK charts will be distributed by Concave Entertainment and Weil Yiyang. Yang, production company,

The issuing company, etc. shall share it together.

What a great handwriting!

Of course, if these players did not earn money through the concave entertainment company in the end, but earned it from their own labor, then Eleven Studio would have no right to share.

Here mainly refers to the income from performing arts activities carried out by concave entertainment companies.

Evan-Bell was able to get along with this idea also because of the Simeng-Fowler in front of him. In the past life, he "recorded" the draft players like this, and Evan-Bell was just learning from it.

This "20% of income" is not just as simple as a white wolf with empty gloves, it is completely invincible! This is the biggest benefit of the player's priority signing rights. If you analyze it in depth, you can find that the players participated in the Fremantle Media tour and received the appearance fee and ticket income dividends, then this is also the income of the players, and Evan Bell can also create gods from it. Get 20% profit.

Unconsciously, Fremantle Media also "silly" for Evan Bell. It can be said that when the "pop idol" contract was signed, in addition to the copyright of the greatest interests, Evan-Bell grasped the most important and core clause: player control. It now appears that it is Fremantle Media that has fallen behind.

Of course, this is not Evan Bell's work, but the miracle created by this man who still smiles like Maitreya Buddha in his last life.

Ximeng-Fowler hesitated, what should I say about Evan-Bell's condition, it's very strange. Now it seems that Simeng-Fowler took advantage, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that Evan-Bell also has a lot to gain. For a while, Siméng-Fowler couldn't see the joints clearly. After all, he didn't know much about the inner workings of "Pop Idol" and Evan-Bell's contract with Fremantle Media.

"The liquidated damages for each player are 200,000 British pounds, and then 10% of the players' income in the next ten years." Simeng-Fowler tried to negotiate the price, and his highest limit for the liquidated damages was the package price of 2.5 million pounds. The average is 250,000 per player, so he hopes to use this to negotiate.

Evan Yibel shook his head gracefully, his expression still the same as that of Chengzhu Zaing: "Each player's liquidated damages are 100,000 British List, and then 20% of the player's income in the next ten years." No. If it's superfluous, it's just repeating its own conditions.

Ximeng-Fowler was looking at Evan-Bell's expression, but unfortunately he didn't see much. Did Warner Records also contact Evan Bell?

Smart people have the upper hand most of the time but sometimes being too smart can lead to mistakes. Ximeng-Fowler was the first person who contacted Ehuobel to be interested in a player contract. After all, not everyone can see the nose machine. But at this time, Simeng-Fowler's conjecture about Warner Records affected his judgment.

Deborah-Johnson, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak from beginning to end, like an outsider. In fact, she is an outsider, and Fremantle Media is an outsider in terms of player disposal. But at this point, Deborah-Johnson seems to realize that the players are the biggest wealth of "pop idols", whether before, during or after the game. But specifically, Deborah-Johnson has no clear idea yet, but this does not prevent her from observing Evan-Bell up close.

After that, Fremantle Media hopes to continue to do "pop idol", not only to continue to do it, but also to make it bigger. Therefore, dealing with Evan Bell is definitely not less. Deborah-Johnson wanted to know more about the teenager.

At this moment, Simeng-Fowler said again, "The liquidated damages for each player are 100,000 British List, and then 20% of the player's income in the next ten years. After that, the players have the right to negotiate the contact first." Ximeng-Fowler can be regarded as agreeing with the conditions set by Evan-Bell, but added a clause, which also foresees requirements for future contestants. ! .
