How much courage does it take to produce an experimental album that goes against the trend of the market? How much courage does it take to break away from the record company and independently produce a unique album that carries the dream?

　　 The album "Don Quixote", without any record company contract guarantee, George paid 150,000 US dollars out of his own pocket and invested desperately into production. George is just an individual, not even an independent record company. Once "Don Quixote" cannot find the record company to buy the contract and cannot release it, then George will face the danger of losing his money.

Not only that. Even if "Don Quixote" was successfully signed, the record company was willing to pay for the production of the album, and the risk that George took was not only that.

As Matthew said just now, the contract stipulates in black and white that the budget for the album is US$150,000, which also means that after receiving the advance payment from the record company, Renly only needs to perform the contract and pay “150,000”. The production cost can be.

　　 But, the production cost exceeds the budget? According to the contract, Lanli does not need to pay. In other words, George will pay for the excess.

　　 In fact, exceeding the budget is almost certain. Although it is said that making albums by independent musicians is relatively more cost-effective, just like independent films, many costs in the production process are unavoidable. Even if it is just to produce a most common popular album, the cost is between 200,000 and 300,000. The space that independent musicians can save is really limited.

　　 This also means that George is ready to pay for it.

　　 This is not the whole story. The royalties also continue this pattern.

　　 After an artist signs a contract with a record company, in addition to the advance payment, he can also make money through royalties. Generally speaking, the royalties of newcomers are 10% to 15%, the royalties of middle-level singers are 16% to 18%, and the top singers can get 2%. ten.

　　 According to the contract, Lan Li can receive 15% of the album royalties, which is almost the highest amount a newcomer can get. Lan Li couldn't help but think of what Andy had said. He hardly spent any effort, and George took the initiative to give the highest standard treatment. what does that mean?

　　 This means that when signing a contract with a record company, as a producer, George will take the initiative to obtain this percentage of treatment for Renly, even without Andy coming forward.

　　 In addition, in addition to artists, producers also have the right to share royalties. However, unlike the film industry, the income of producers is not paid by record companies, but by artists. The producer's fee can be divided into two parts, one is the advance payment, and the other is the royalty dividend.

According to the current market situation, the average cost of hiring a producer is about 70,000 to 90,000 U.S. dollars, while the cost of a top producer like George is only high or low; while the producer’s royalty dividend is relatively fixed. 25% of artist royalty income, after conversion, is about 3% to 5% of the total royalty income of the album.

　　 Judging from the terms of the contract, George only asked for a normal royalty dividend based on the average market price, but did not mention the part of the advance payment.

　　 Not to mention the top producer like George, how to calculate the cost is more appropriate, even if the market price is 70,000 to 90,000, George does not mention it at all. It is completely free for free. Obviously, after deducting this fee, this saves nearly one-third of the cost of "Don Quixote"'s album budget.

　　 Not only that, the premise of royalty dividends is that the album can be listed and sold. As for the 3% to 5% of the royalty dividends, how much money can be earned depends on the album's market sales performance. By the way, "Don Quixote" is another album that completely ignores commercial potential...

　　 "I just want to make a genuine album."

　　 Lan Li couldn't help but think of George's sentence, and until now, the deep meaning of this sentence has become clear.

　　 Even if there is no record company signing, even if the family is bankrupt, even if there is nothing, George will complete the album "Don Quixote". Stripped of commercial considerations, stripped of career achievements, and stripped of practical compromises, everything is only related to art, persistence, and life pursuit.

　　 This is not so much another job as a rekindling dream. George, who has retired for three years, once again showed an unstoppable and unstoppable momentum, which is enough to make people move.

　　 This "sincere and sincere" is so important.

Two generations of human beings, Lan Li believes that he has been persistent, hardworking, and firm enough to pursue his dreams; but the world is so big, there are people outside the world, and mountains outside the mountains. In George, Lan Li has really seen it. Dedicated everything to the madness that loves the cause, can't help but stand in awe.

　　Music has always been an interest for Lan Li. It used to be so, it is now, and it will be the same in the future. His enthusiasm comes from acting, which will not change, just like George.

Acting, this is a dream worth pursuing all his life. His goal is to be like George, thirty years later, forty years later, or even one day before the end of his life, he can still stand on the stage and focus on Among the performances he loves.

Once, he thought this was unrealistic idealism, which only existed in Japanese hot-blooded comics. There was no room for dreamers in real life; but now, Lan Li met George and saw it really. The dream come true version, when the ideal meets the reality, this time the ending is beautiful.

Lan Li nodded and agreed to make an album for a very simple reason. On the one hand, he was interested in hobbies, trying some new challenges, and getting involved in different fields of life; on the other hand, he was moved by George's sincerity and focus, and he was on the road of dreams. The joy and excitement of meeting another fellow traveler contributed to this project.

　　 But now, Lan Li has begun to re-examine his attitude.

　　 This shouldn't be just a hobby, nor just a dream. For George, this is a carnival party, a party that burns life and releases the soul.

After experiencing countless vicissitudes and witnessing countless ups and downs, George’s life has moved towards the second half. It is very likely that this will be the last wanton in his life. He will use his life’s persistence and focus, and his life’s enthusiasm and madness. The brilliance and beauty of a lifetime bloomed thoroughly, just like the fireworks display on July 4th, with hundreds of flowers in full bloom, noisy drums, and colorful and gorgeous, instantly releasing all the magnificence, magnificent and magnificent.

　　 In this carnival dancing party, it is an honor to be a part of it. It can even be said that it is the most moving moment of the two lives of Lan Li so far. Even the "buried alive" and "crazy love" performances are incomparable. Because Lan Li not only witnessed a craftsman dedicated his life to his dream, but also became a part of it. Once in a lifetime.

　　 Regardless of whether this is Lan Li’s only album, no matter the prospects of this album, and no matter what will happen in the future, all he needs to do now is to devote himself to it, nothing more. Unreservedly, attentively, and utterly selfless, according to my own ideas, I will understand my art, resonate my soul, and comprehend my life into this album, and join hands with George and Herbert. , To complete the creation of this artwork.

　　 Like every acting exploration before, moths flutter to the fire, burning and releasing as much as they want.

　　 In the distant future, when Lan Li revisited his life in this life, he would be fortunate that he produced the album "Don Quixote", and more importantly, he participated in every detail of the production process. This will become a part of his life, belongs to his original intention, belongs to his dream, and belongs to himself.

　　 George Slander, who would have thought that he would become the first life mentor of Renley II?

　　 Her mind slowly settled down, like lemonade gradually cooling in her hand. In the cold and quiet of midnight, Lan Li felt heaviness and lightness. Lifting his head, his gaze turned to Matthew, and the subject changed, "So, you mean, can this contract be signed?"

　　 Matthew can capture the light between Lan Li's eyebrows, wise and vicissitudes, not bright, but always with an unquestionable determination.

　　 The Lan Li in his memory seems to have never changed. The determined figure always stands in the front, bravely facing the storm and chasing his own life arrogantly. This kind of blue gift makes people look forward to ~lightnovelpub.net~. Involuntarily, I want to follow his footsteps, move forward, move forward again, exploring the unknown in the mist, imagining that it is one in the end. What kind of waves are magnificent and thrilling.

"Of course." Matthew replied with a smile, "However, I don't know much about professional content. I'm not sure if the numbers in it are reasonable. For example, the cost of 150,000 album production is more or less. ; For another example, the tax dividend ratio between you and George is in line with industry standards. In these situations, you need to confirm with Andy. If there is no problem, you can sign at any time."

Lan Li closed his jaw and said, "These figures were agreed to by Andy." At this time, recalling Andy's playful tone on the phone at the time, as well as Matthew's ridicule today, Lan Li couldn't help but smile. It is estimated that Andy was also frightened by George's boldness, "Give me the contract."

　　 Lan Li put her legs away, sat up straight, reached out to accept the contract, put it on the coffee table, ready to sign-but there was no pen at hand.

　　 For such a scene, Matthew was not surprised at all. He took a pen from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it over. Lan Li glanced at him and chuckled lightly, "How old is your birthday present?"

　　 "Eleven years old." This is Matthew's eleventh birthday, Lan Li gave him a birthday gift. In a blink of an eye, it has been with itself for ten years.

　　 Turning on the pen, Lan Li quickly signed his name on different pages of the contract. He will never be absent from this party of chasing dreams and burning lives.
