Chapter 243 Just Consider the Unfilial Son Dead 10
The two waited for more than half an hour. The first to arrive was Pan Yuting, a top singer under the company. She lived near the company and was currently focused on her new album, so she didn't have any other activities planned.
There's also Li Anqi, who's free these days, but she lives a bit far away, so she hasn't arrived yet. The remaining three all have schedules today, but they agreed to go back to the company tomorrow morning and meet up then.
Pan Yuting seemed a bit down because the album recording hadn't gone smoothly, but she still politely greeted Liu Yuxi, "Director Sun, is it because you asked me to come back to the company with new material?"
When she asked this question, she was full of anticipation. She hadn't found a suitable title track for her new album. Now that she's at that level, she definitely wants to become a top star, so she has higher standards for her work. After all, her competitors are all at the same level, and if she wants to surpass them and climb to the top, she can only rely on better works.
"Haha, you guessed right, take a look at these two songs." Director Sun said as he handed her two songs with Pan Yuting's name on them.
Pan Yuting's voice sounds a lot like a female singer surnamed Cai from another time and space. Liu Yuxi prepared two songs for her, "Dancing Girl" and "Sun Never Sets". Pan Yuting looked at these two songs and liked them more and more. These two songs could definitely be the title tracks of her album.
"Director Sun, are you sure you want these two songs for me?" Pan Yuting asked excitedly. After all, the company was big, and resources were limited. There were two other female singers in the company who were also top-tier, so even though she saw her name on the paper, she still wanted to confirm with Director Sun again.
"Haha, these are for you. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Liu Yuxi, the lyricist and composer of these two songs. He's our company's newly signed lyricist and composer, and the very popular 'Floating Life' lyricist of the past few months!" Director Sun introduced to Pan Yuting, since the two of them still needed to discuss profit sharing later.
After Liu Yuxi signed with the company, the revenue sharing between the company and the music distribution platform changed. The platform received 30%, while the company received 70%. Because Liu Yuxi signed a diamond-level contract, the company only took 20%, primarily for song recording and promotion. The remaining 50% was split between the lyrics, composition, arrangement, and the singer. Of course, for someone like Liu Yuxi who handles all three aspects—lyrics, composition, and arrangement—she gets all three herself.
"Ah, hello, Teacher Fusheng! I really love your song 'Encounter'!" After hearing Director Sun's introduction, Pan Yuting realized that Liu Yuxi was the rising star Teacher Fusheng in the past few months, and quickly greeted him.
As someone in the industry, I've been amazed by this mysterious teacher Fusheng these past few months. He's released twelve high-quality songs in a short period, each of which is expected to exceed 1000 million downloads. As long as there are more songs of similar quality to follow, this teacher Fusheng is definitely a master of music.
She really likes the song "Encounter". She thinks that if she sang it, it would definitely reach 1000 million downloads in less than a month, after all, she has a huge fan base!
She had previously spoken with her agent, wondering if the company could contact this Mr. Fusheng. She wished they could ask him to write a song for her. And then, her dream came true! Mr. Fusheng not only signed with their company but also wrote two songs for her.
"Thank you for your appreciation! Haha, I'm new to this industry and not quite sure how the division of labor between songwriters and singers is done. Are there any precedents for this?" Liu Yuxi asked Director Sun.
"Yes, we usually collaborate with diamond-level songwriters. Top-tier singers can get 0.5% to 1.5% of the earnings, which can be negotiated!" Director Sun explained.
"0.5 is fine, Teacher Liu, I really like these two songs!" Pan Yuting eagerly expressed her opinion before Director Sun could even finish speaking. What a joke! At their current level, who's short of a little money? If the songs were just average, they'd still fight for their share, but the songs are excellent. What if she demanded a higher share, and Teacher Fusheng gave the songs to someone else? That would be a much bigger loss!
Before Liu Yuxi could reply, there was a knock on the door, followed by a stunningly beautiful woman who greeted everyone inside as she walked in: "Hello, Director Sun! Yuting, what were you talking about just now, 0.5%? Oh! What are you holding in your hand? Let me see."
At this moment, the beautiful woman had already walked up to Pan Yuting's side. Before Pan Yuting could react, the lyrics and music in her hand had changed hands. "Li Anqi! Who told you to take my things? Give them back to me!" Pan Yuting said as she tried to snatch them back.
However, Li Anqi kept dodging and watching, and Pan Yuting was afraid of tearing the paper to shreds, but she didn't dare to snatch it forcefully. For the time being, she really couldn't do anything to Li Anqi, and could only keep emphasizing, "That's mine, mine!"
"I don't want a share!" Li Anqi stopped after reading the lyrics and music of the two songs, waved the papers in her hand at Director Sun, and said, "Director Sun, you can't give both of these songs to Yuting, the company can't be so biased, at least give me one!"
"Li Anqi! You have no sportsmanship! Those two are mine! They're mine! My name is on those papers!" Pan Yuting was so angry with Li Anqi that she jumped up and down.
Actually, the two of them have a pretty good relationship in private, but since they are in the same company, it's normal for them to fight over resources. Usually, it's their agents who deal with the company on their behalf. They've never encountered a situation like today where they're fighting face to face.
Fearing that the two would quarrel again over this matter, Director Sun quickly said, "Anqi, you have one too, over here!" He then handed over two other songs with Li Anqi's name on them.
But Pan Yuting snatched them into her arms and said to Li Anqi, "Give me back my two songs, and I'll give them back to you!" Now it was Li Anqi's turn to be speechless. She hadn't even looked at the two songs Pan Yuting had in her hands, but the two songs in her hands were definitely hits. She was considering whether to exchange them with Pan Yuting or keep the two songs in her hands.
“These two songs are not suitable for you. I wrote them based on the characteristics of each of you!” Liu Yuxi didn’t expect to encounter such a situation during her visit to the company, so she quickly spoke up.
Director Sun quickly chimed in, "Anqi, this is Teacher Liu Yuxi, the recently popular Fusheng. These songs were tailor-made for you by Teacher Liu. You and Yuting should switch over right away."
Hearing what Director Sun said, Li Anqi greeted Liu Yuxi and exchanged songs with Pan Yuting: "Teacher Liu, haha, I'm so sorry, I was just joking with Yuting! Please excuse me!"
"It's alright, you're young! Take a look at the song first, do you want it?" Liu Yuxi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind.
Li Anqi focused intently on reading the two songs that were meant for her, and Pan Yuting joined her. She was also interested in the songs that Teacher Liu had written for Anqi and wanted to see which one was better, compared to her own two songs.
