Chapter 2049 The Queen Returns (7)
That bastard, he thinks he's some kind of country bumpkin, and he even has the nerve to try and lure her with an A-level visa.
Even if he offered her an S-level contract, she wouldn't give him a second glance.
Su Yan's new song quickly topped various charts, bringing her back into the public eye and making her as popular as today's A-list celebrities.
Seeing Su Yan's abilities and recognizing her value, Li Huiru arranged for her to discuss the contract.
As long as she's willing to sign a contract, they're willing to give her the treatment of a superstar.
Li Huiru hurriedly called Su Yan to tell him the news.
"I don't sign artist contracts, but I can sign cooperation agreements with the company."
"What? You won't sign an artist contract? How do you want to collaborate?"
"I can entrust my record production to Hengxing, and the distribution and profits will be split 30/70."
"You're seven?"
"if not."
"Hmm, I can't make that decision right now. I need to go back and report to the company."
“Go ahead. I chose to work with my old record company because I’m nostalgic. Actually, other record companies have already contacted me. I hope Sister Li won’t make me wait too long.”
"Ok."
Su Yan hung up the phone and went to pick up her daughter from school.
She didn't go home after school, but was taken to the martial arts hall by Su Yan. From now on, Su Yan will teach her martial arts.
Learning martial arts should begin from a young age to build a solid foundation.
"Baozhu, let's do some warm-up exercises first. How about Mom runs a few laps with you?"
"it is good."
With someone by her side, Baozhu's interest grew even stronger.
Su Yan has already taken her to change her surname; from now on, she will be called Su Baozhu.
Sister Li relayed Su Yan's intentions to the higher-ups at Hengxing, and naturally, some people disagreed.
This person is Song Mao, the financial backer behind Liang Le, and also one of the company's shareholders.
"No way, she's a washed-up singer, how dare she ask for such an exorbitant amount? The company helped her produce the album, and she actually wants 70% of it. She's just too arrogant."
Sister Li explained from the side, "Su Yan is a singer who became famous early on, so there is no need for the company to spend money to cultivate her. Moreover, her songs are hits as soon as they are released. She writes and composes her own songs, so the company does not need to worry about them. We just help with production and distribution. In fact, we are just using the company's channels. There are so many fans who like her. Even if the company only gets 30%, it will not lose money."
"No, can you guarantee that all the songs she writes afterward will be hits? She didn't know how to write lyrics or compose music before, she only learned a little bit, but she dared to use the gimmick of a talented female singer-songwriter. Who knows if she didn't hire ghostwriters behind the scenes? The company can't take such a big risk. I don't agree to this collaboration."
The others also looked embarrassed. She was just a has-been singer who became famous with a song that subtly criticized a scumbag man, which was a benefit of her divorce.
Who can guarantee that her future songs will be as popular as this one? There are just too many songs like this one; it would be more like the other way around.
Liang Le had previously approached Song Mao, worried that Su Yan's return would undermine her position in the company.
Song Mao patted his chest and assured Su Yan that he would not let her return smoothly.
"You can tell her it's a 30/70 split, with the company getting 70% and her getting 30%."
"She won't agree..."
"Then let's go with 46, she'll go with 46, and the company with 66."
"this......"
"No need to say anything more. If she doesn't agree, then let her work with another company. I don't believe any other record company will agree to her conditions. We have already made a lot of concessions. She needs to face reality. She is not the diva she used to be, and she is not young anymore. She needs to know her place."
"..."
Record companies monopolize the music industry, and singers' earnings are squeezed to the minimum.
Don't be fooled by the popularity of some singers; their fame and success are just superficial.
They may have already signed unequal contracts with the company for five or even ten years before their debut.
In reality, the actual compensation received is less than one-tenth. If you become famous and are dissatisfied with the distribution, the company will immediately freeze you out, or give you countless commercial performances to squeeze out all your value, and then freeze you out.
Li Huiru tactfully conveyed the company's message. After hearing this, Su Yan smiled and said, "Alright, if we can't reach an agreement, then forget it. But I still want to ask, Sister Li, do you want to switch jobs?"
"I...you want to take me away?"
"Yes, I guarantee you the top-tier treatment of a top-notch agent."
But you're all alone right now...
"Don't worry, setting up a company is a simple matter. I just didn't want the hassle before. Since we'll have to do it sooner or later, let's do it sooner. You're a founding member here, and I'll give you shares."
"Give me a day to think about it, and I'll give you an answer after that."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yan went to check her stocks.
She invested all 50 million yuan that her scumbag boyfriend had given her into the stock market, and in just a few days, it had already increased by 20 million yuan.
Not bad, not bad, the returns are quite high.
Su Yan selected a few more stocks and asked 999 to keep an eye on them, planning to buy them at the bottom when they dropped to their lowest point.
After settling all that, she started thinking about recruiting talent and starting a company.
She has traveled through so many worlds and knows countless classic songs, movies, TV series, and even classic programs and variety shows.
Why should she bother trying to become a pop diva? If she wants to be, she should be an entertainment tycoon, making Qu Song unworthy even to carry her shoes.
Su Yan's Yanxing Tianxia Entertainment Company was successfully registered, and he used the 20 million he had just earned as registered capital.
While her fans were waiting for her to release new songs and make a formal comeback, her company had already been quietly established and quickly completed its recruitment.
The company's employees have 999 background checks, so she only needs to check their character. This makes hiring ten times faster than other companies.
It only took three days from company registration to hiring staff.
Sister Li agreed to switch jobs to her new company and continue to serve as her agent.
At this time, an insider revealed that the real reason for Su Yan and Qu Song's divorce was that Su Yan was unable to have children.
The person claiming to be an insider is clearly Qu Song and his company.
Not only that, they also hired a group of online trolls to stir up trouble online.
"Su Yan can't have children herself, and the Qu family is quite traditional. Is it wrong for them to want a son?"
"Qu Song has made so much money, how can he manage if he doesn't have a son to inherit it? What's the point of his work then?"
"Qu Song already compensated her with 50 million. She has health problems herself, so who can she blame? Qu Song has already done more than enough."
“Many normal couples divorce because they don’t have children. Qu Song is just a normal man. Don’t be too harsh on him.”
"Is it wrong to support Qu Song and pursue his own happiness? Celebrities are also human beings and have their own right to choose."
......
Most of those who support Qu Song are his fans and professional online trolls who stir up trouble.
As for Su Yan's fans, they all scoffed at such remarks.
"Does the Qu family have a throne to inherit? Why do they have to have a son? Is that a reason for divorce? That's ridiculous."
"What do you mean Su Yan can't have children? She gave birth to a daughter, didn't she? You have the nerve to say that you're sexist and prefer boys to girls."
"Even if she can't have children later, it's because she wasn't taken good care of when she gave birth to your daughter. Otherwise, how could she have ruined her health?"
"When they love you, they're incredibly kind; when they don't, they come up with all sorts of excuses and reasons. Haha, that's just how men are."
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who married above your station when Su Yan married you. Now that you're a little bit famous, you're starting to act all high and mighty, aren't you?"
"He deliberately reopened his ex-wife's wounds after the divorce; he's inhuman."
"If it weren't for giving birth to your daughter, would she have harmed her body?"
"Scumbag..."
