    "Hello, I am Zhao Baogang, the Minister of Administration. I am responsible for today's contract signing." Zhao Baogang clasped his hands together and smiled slowly, "Xiaoming has recommended several new singers he is optimistic about before, but you are the first singer he recommends.  .¡±

    ???Actually, Xia Fan had roughly guessed this before.

    After all, your music business is "half-dead". Of course, you can't say this.

    ¡°I am honored to join Times Entertainment, and I hope I will not let down Brother Xiaoming¡¯s trust.¡±

    Xia Fan also replied politely.

    "Xiaoxia, I have to talk about something first."

    "Minister Zhao, please speak!"

    "It's like this. According to Xiaoming's intention, we are providing you with a Type A contract for newcomers. The value of this contract is higher than that of a regular Type C contract."

    Zhao Baogang stirred the coffee cup a few times with a spoon, then took a sip and smiled.

    "Generally speaking, the newcomers who can get this contract have been strictly evaluated by the company and are deemed to have sufficient potential and are worthy of the company's investment in resources."

    "Although Xiaoming recommended you, the company's senior management also discussed it and believed that you are worthy of this contract."

    Xia Fan is 20 years old, which is an age when many newcomers are just debuting.

    But because of the show "Brother Making Trouble", his popularity has skyrocketed, and he can no longer be treated like an ordinary newcomer.

    Hearing Zhao Baogang's words, his mood changed slightly.

    "It seems things are better than expected."

    Xia Fan still kept a calm face and listened to the other person's words with focused eyes.

    "But Xiaoxia" Zhao Baogang's words changed. "The company's singers all signed regular C-type contracts. In the past, no new singers have been signed with A-type contracts."

    The underlying meaning of this statement is that several singers under the company are not worth cultivating, which is also in line with Zhang Xuehan's evaluation of "half-dead".

    To put it bluntly, even if several singers under Times Entertainment perform commercially, it is because of the company¡¯s face that the organizer does it, not because of the singers themselves.

    ??

    Anyway, in this era, entertainers have great careers and have strong financial resources, so they don¡¯t mind raising a few idle people.

    Zhao Baogang continued: "I understand that for singers, the importance of albums is self-evident. But Times Entertainment cannot guarantee you one album a year, and you must understand this."

    "This is understandable. After all, the current record market is sluggish, and it is difficult to make money from an album. But" Xia Fan paused for a moment and smiled confidently, "If one song in the album becomes popular, even if the album loses money, it will still be a success."  There are huge rewards to be had elsewhere.¡±

    The prosperous Internet era has brought the original record industry to the brink of collapse, but the benefit is that song copyrights are increasingly improving.

    As long as any song in the album becomes popular, it means that there will be a steady stream of wealth; if you are lucky and one of the songs becomes a hit, congratulations, you have received your pension insurance. In the next ten years,  It will be your income security for twenty years.

    Zhao Baogang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's the theory, but with the current market situation, it's more difficult for a song to become popular, even if it's just a small hit."

    Xia Fan raised his head and looked at him calmly: "Can I say that I already have some pension insurance?"

    Zhao Baogang and the other two ladies looked at each other and replied: "It's okay to say that. This is why we are willing to give you a category A contract as a newcomer. It's a pity that the most popular "Little Apple" has been sold to Wang Xiaoming."

    On the stage of "Brother Lang", of the three complete songs composed by Xia Fan, "Little Apple" is the most popular and can be called the brainwashing song.

    "If time comes back, I will still sell it to Brother Xiaoming at this price." Xia Fan smiled lightly, "I believe there will be better works in the future!"

    "It's good to have this confidence." Zhao Baogang nodded with satisfaction, "The company is going to prepare an album for you within two years after signing the contract. You can write the songs yourself, or you can use the company's musicians to write them. This  The decision is yours!"

    Just these musicians from Times Entertainment?  What kind of good songs can a group of guys who are already in retirement state write if they don¡¯t want to make progress?

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when the time comes. I¡¯m looking forward to cooperating with the musicians under the company. I believe there will be different sparks.¡± Xia Fan smiled brightly.?He said insincerely, "Minister Zhao, are there any other aspects that need my attention?"

    "I'll look at the contract again. After all, this is the first time I've signed a contract for newcomers A, and I'm not very familiar with it myself" Zhao Baogang smiled sheepishly and continued to read the contract.

    "By the way, if the sales of your first album are not good, the company will not give you a publishing contract for the next six years unless you pay for it yourself."

    This is quite common in the industry, and many entertainment companies require this from their singers.  Unless you are a top-tier singer and your sales of two or three albums are poor, the company will have no choice but to bite the bullet and keep going.

    ¡°If the sales of the album are not good, what will happen if there is a popular song?¡± Xia Fan asked with a frown.

    ¡°If the single in the album is a hit, the company will continue to invest in you to produce a single; if a single is a hit, the company will decide through review whether to continue investing in a new album.¡±

    Zhao Baogang glanced at the text on the contract and added: "And your first album, which is only electronic and not physical. As long as you sign this contract, you will be the only singer under the company who has plans to release an album."

    Those who are willing to buy albums are often die-hard fans, while ordinary casual fans will probably only buy a single that they like.  In this era, physical albums have almost only symbolic meaning. Even if a super first-line singer can sell 200,000 copies, it is a miracle. For an ordinary first-line singer to sell 100,000 copies, it is considered a luxury.

    The real battlefield is in digital albums. If a newcomer like Xia Fan releases a digital album, the general standard is: 10 songs in an album, 2 singles, a total of 20 yuan.

    Users can choose to buy the entire album or select a single.

    This price is the lowest in the industry. Some popular singers or top stars will price an album at 30 yuan.

    "In addition, the company will also let you participate in some variety shows, or try out the second and third male roles in some TV series. All the support and treatment given to new actors will also be given to you!"

    Generally speaking, this contract is based on the contract of a new type A actor, with some additional terms for singers.

    ¡°That¡¯s no problem. If I need more people to listen to my songs, I still have to increase my exposure.¡±

    This can be regarded as the preferential treatment given to Xia Fan by Times Entertainment based on its own resource advantages, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings in the music business.  He had no reason to refuse.

    After Xia Fan took over the contract, he looked at it carefully from beginning to end, then picked up a pen and signed his name.

    The contract has officially come into effect(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
