The agent hesitated, "He's not that stupid, is he? Even though he's a newcomer, it's hard to guarantee that he knows some veterans in the industry."
"What if he tells us that our song made tens of millions, and we only gave him ten thousand? What if that makes him angry?"
"Provoke me?" Lin Keshan said with a disdainful look, "If I really get angry, would I be afraid of these Tom, Dick, and Harry?"
"By then, I'll know countless important people, and with just a word, I can get them to take care of him for me."
"But you're right. I'll ask him and have him sign a buyout or profit-sharing agreement to avoid future disputes."
"Please prepare the two contracts and send them to me."
The agent sat down at the computer desk and started typing away.
Lin Keshan received the contract, opened it, and found that the buyout contract amount was actually 30,000.
She looked at her manager in disbelief: "Thirty thousand? Are you kidding me? Thirty thousand yuan for this song?"
"Have you forgotten that our studio has always been operating at a loss, and I've been covering the losses out of my own pocket?"
"Have you been taking the high salary I've been paying you for too long and stopped valuing money?"
"Why don't you think about saving the company some money?"
The agent looked bewildered: "This... thirty thousand is too little?"
"Keshan, based on my many years of experience in the music industry, this song is worth at least several hundred thousand."
"The melody is lively and catchy, and there are no traces of plagiarism or borrowing. The lyrics are also just right, suitable for the style of the music, and bold and open."
"Even many famous singers can't write such a good song."
“Giving him 30,000 is already too little; I’m even afraid he won’t agree.”
Lin Keshan glared angrily at her agent.
I initially offered a price of 5,000, but the other party didn't react much.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and offered a price of eight thousand yuan.
Unexpectedly, the agent's salary suddenly increased to 30,000 yuan.
Lin Keshan's chest heaved with anger as she pointed at her agent's nose and berated him, "What do you know! I talked to this person before, and he didn't refuse five or eight thousand, which means there was still room for negotiation. But you, you suddenly raised it to thirty thousand. Aren't you just cutting off all my escape routes?"
"What? Only such a low starting price?" The agent looked shocked and stammered, "Then, then he is indeed a completely new rookie."
"Anyone who's been in the business for a while wouldn't accept such a low price."
She continued with a wronged expression, "Keshan, I'm only thinking about our long-term future."
“This song is really different. Didn’t you just sing it? It’s so catchy and addictive. With a little packaging, it could become a huge hit.”
"If we manage it well afterward, the returns will far exceed this buyout fee."
Lin Keshan crossed her arms and snorted coldly: "Operation? Where would we get the money to operate? Our studio is almost starving right now, and we're all relying on my secret stash of money to stay afloat."
"You're still spending money like this. I was hoping to get it for eight thousand yuan, and I'd figure out how to raise the money for the subsequent advertising. But now, you've ruined it all."
The agent sighed helplessly: "How about this, you contact them and offer 10,000 yuan to sound them out. Tell them that 10,000 yuan is just a preliminary offer and there is room for negotiation. See if you can lower the price a bit more?"
Lin Keshan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll contact them. Try to lower the price as much as possible. If that doesn't work, we can slowly increase it. In any case, don't exceed 15,000, otherwise the cost is too high and we can't afford it."
After saying that, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Ling: "Hello, my agent and I have discussed it, and for the benefit of both of us, let's sign the contract first."
"There are two options now. The first is to pay 10,000 yuan to buy out the copyright of your piece."
"The second option is to give you a 5% cut."
"I've sent you these two contracts. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
