Chapter 29 Selling Songs and Endorsements

Hu Feng said: "To be precise, I didn't come to your son to write songs, but to buy songs. We heard the song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" written by him on the Internet. We felt that this song was very similar to ours. The yogurt brand is very suitable, so... we would like to ask, does Lin Li still have the copyright to this song?"

Lin Li nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's great. I wonder if you are willing to sell the copyright of this song to our company? We can discuss the price."

Song Wenjie asked: "How much can you... give?"

"We can buy out the song for one million," Hu Feng said. "If you think the price is not enough, we can negotiate again."

"How many?"

Song Wenjie's eyes widened.

"We can discuss the price further." Hu Feng thought that Song Wenjie was too little.

Song Wenjie was not dissatisfied, but was shocked.

She only knew that writing songs could make her famous, but she never knew that writing songs could be directly sold for money, or that she had never seen so much money in her life.

With more than one million, you can buy a small apartment in Sioux City!

After a short shock, Song Wenjie returned to normal. She knew that this was also a business. Since it was a business, there were rules for business.

The buyer cannot say how much it is.

Song Wenjie was a good bargainer at the vegetable market, and she immediately noticed that the price quoted by Wu Feng and the others was very conservative. If we really wanted to negotiate, 1.5 million shouldn't be a problem.

Song Wenjie was also excited when she thought that she was about to negotiate a multi-million dollar deal.

But before Song Wenjie could express herself, Lin Li spoke.

"Sorry, I don't plan to sell the copyright of my song like this."

Lin Li heard that they were buying out, which meant that once he signed the contract, the song had nothing to do with him. They could use it however they wanted, but he didn't use it. Even commercial singing required their consent. Pay them, let alone publish and distribute it.

This was unacceptable to Lin Li.

"How do you want to sell it?"

Hu Feng heard it. It wasn't that Lin Li didn't want to sell, but he just didn't want to sell as he said.

"I only sell the right to use this song, not the copyright. I can sell you the right to use this song, but the copyright must still belong to me. Except for using it for your company's commercial promotion, other aspects will not be done without my consent. , you can’t use it.”

After hearing what Lin Li said, Hu Feng also looked at him differently.

At such a young age, people who are not dazzled by huge numbers but want to control their own songs are terrible.

But for Yiren Yogurt Company, it is enough to have the right to use it.

"In this case, we can only pay up to one million, and it will be a permanent use right."

Lin Li thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I have a condition."

"You say."

"It has to be a version sung by Wu Ruobing, and you have to agree that within a month, you have to invest enough money to promote it."

Hu Feng smiled. This was not a condition at all, but what they were prepared to do.

"We happened to take a fancy to Wu Ruobing's voice. After discussing the copyright of your song, we went to her house to discuss the endorsement. As for publicity, don't worry, our company is preparing to be the number one dairy product in the industry. Immediately radio stations and offline supermarkets will promote it."

Lin Li was very satisfied after hearing this. Yili Group, where Yiren Yogurt is located, is a well-known company and does not worry about product quality.

I only sold the right to use my songs to them, and the copyright is still in my hands. I can still sing and release it normally in the future. In fact, there is no loss. And this time, they agreed to use Wu Ruobing's singing version, which invisibly promoted Wu Ruobing. What a wave.

This is still very important for Wu Ruobing's popularity in subsequent games.

Song Wenjie became envious when she heard that they were planning to find Wu Ruobing as their spokesperson.

"Well, is it okay to represent my son?" Song Wenjie asked.

Hu Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "We are going to find a girl with a sweet image to represent us..."

"You should think carefully. If you ask my son to endorse you now, I can give you a discount on the endorsement fee. When my son wins the championship of "The Voice", you won't be able to afford it." Song Wenjie started to promote.

Hu Feng and his assistant laughed. They had seen the video of Lin Li's audition and thought Lin Li was good at writing songs, but they didn't think Lin Li would have any development in the show in the future.

"Sister, we are just agents. The matter of finding a spokesperson is decided by the boss above. They have no plans to hire boys..."

Lin Li pulled Song Wenjie and said, "Mom, stop talking. Let's go over the details of the contract and let them go to Ruobing's house to talk."

Song Wenjie stopped talking.

Hu Feng and his assistant discussed some details with Lin Li and his son, and then said they would go back and draw up a contract and come back tomorrow.

Song Wenjie personally sent them to Zhang Li's house.

Knowing that Hu Feng and his assistant were here to discuss signing an endorsement deal, Zhang Li and his wife were dumbfounded and thought they had met a liar.

Hu Feng spent a lot of time convincing them.

Song Wenjie had the experience of having her own son, so she became the negotiator for Zhang Li and his wife, and praised Wu Ruobing.

"Our Ruobing is so good-looking, and it will look even better when filming commercials. It will definitely make people want to drink your yogurt."

"Our Ruobing has now advanced to the top 50 in the country. The director has said that she may win the championship. If you sign now, you will be picking up treasures."

"Three hundred thousand a year is too little, we must increase it!"

"My son has said that Ruobing must sing. Your big company still lacks this little money."

Hu Feng was speechless. This Song Wenjie kept doing one thing after another, making it impossible for him to fight back. Just now she said that her son won the championship, and now she said that Wu Ruobing won the championship.

After a while, Zhang Li also joined the camp of praising her daughter and started bargaining.

Because Lin Li had a request to use Wu Ruobing's version of "Sour and Sweet Is Me", Hu Feng had to give in step by step.

Finally, the signing fee was finally negotiated.

Wu Ruobing endorsed Yiren Yogurt for three years, with an endorsement fee of 1 million.

This price is within the acceptable range given to Hu Feng by Yiren Company.

In any case, Wu Ruobing is also the winner of the online audition of "The Voice", and her popularity may explode in the future, so the endorsement fee is not that much.

After sitting down and talking to Wu Ruobing and his family about the details of the endorsement, such as shooting advertisements, shooting covers, and attending events in the future, Hu Feng stood up.

"Tomorrow, we will come with the contract. Once we sign it, we can make the payment."

After sending Hu Feng away, Zhang Li let out a sigh of relief.

"Wenjie, you can do it. You said this to mean that you were stunned for a moment. Just now you asked for one million. I was really afraid that he wouldn't agree." Zhang Li praised.

"It's not a big deal. If this happens in the future, call me." Song Wenjie said proudly.

"Auntie, did Lin Li sell the song to them?" Wu Ruobing asked.

Song Wenjie nodded and said, "I sold the use rights, not the copyright. I don't know the difference very well, but Lin Li is very independent. He can do whatever he wants, and I don't care."

"How much did it cost?" Zhang Li asked.

"One million too!" Song Wenjie laughed.

"Wow, this kid Lin Li is amazing."

"The same goes for your Ruobing family."

"That's all because of your family Lin Li. Your family Lin Li didn't write this song, and we Ruobing didn't have such a good thing happen to us either." Wu Yong said.

"Yes, and look at it, Lin Li earns one million for writing a song. We Ruobing still have to shoot commercials and attend events no matter what. Lin Li is promising. He can make a lot of money just by doing something at home." Zhang Li said, "You two will be blessed in the future."

Song Wenjie was very happy to hear this and asked quietly: "What do you think...in the future I will be my son's manager?"

Song Wenjie had worked as a treasurer before and had no problems with accounting.

"This is a good idea." Zhang Li said immediately, "I will also act as an agent for my family Ruobing."

The two mothers became more and more excited as they chatted, as if they had suddenly found their life goals.
