Chapter 409: Su Yu's Conditions

Su Yu even heard that Tengfei wanted to get involved in the cinema business, truly wanting to meddle in everything.

It was simply speechless.

"Teacher Su Yu, although our Tengfei Music has just been established, its users and monthly active users are not low, and our previous cooperation in TV dramas was also very pleasant.

This time, we hope to deepen our cooperation! As long as Teacher Su Yu agrees to give us exclusive rights to your works, you can name your price!"

After a series of formal greetings, Wu Tianming pushed up his glasses and got straight to the point.

He felt that no matter how capable or insightful Su Yu was, he wouldn't go against his own interests.

To secure the exclusive rights to Su Yu's works, their bottom line for this negotiation was no bottom line!

As long as Su Yu agreed to sign an exclusive contract, even if it was only for one or two years, their Tengfei Music would have the confidence to overcome all obstacles during that period and ascend to the throne of music platforms!

After all, among all major music platforms, Su Yu's works currently have the highest popularity and sales.

On the largest Ocean Music Platform, Su Yu's works accounted for 84 out of the top 100 on the Hot Songs Chart!

This was also because the Spring Festival Gala stage and Andy Lau's new album were both on the New Songs Chart this month.

Next month's Hot Songs Chart might even be completely dominated by Su Yu's works!

One person's works dominating the entire Hot Songs Chart? This was something no one dared to imagine.

But this was reality.

It was the terrifying achievement that the young, impossibly handsome man in front of him had accomplished in over half a year.

"If Tengfei Music can raise the single price of new songs to a maximum of 2 chinese yuan, I will agree to give you one year of exclusive music copyright!"

Su Yu replied after some thought.

From the very beginning, when he came here, he felt that the single price of songs in Blue Star China was ridiculously high.

But at that time, even the money for his medical treatment was paid by Han Jiangxue, so how could he be qualified to say such a thing?

Moreover, Su Yu's initial capital was actually accumulated through high-priced song royalties.

Now saying the price is too high, it really feels like flipping the table after being full.

However, Su Yu still did it.

The overall income in China now is not much higher than that of Earth during the same period.

If the single price of songs comes down, for netizens and music fans, it will naturally result in genuine benefits.

As soon as Su Yu spoke, not only was Wu Tianming stunned, but even Wang Tianfeng, who was accompanying Su Yu, was a little dumbfounded.

You silly boy, do you even hear what you just said?

Currently, Tianxing Entertainment is the most profitable company in music.

If you do this, won't the company's shareholders explode?!

Moreover, the biggest loss in this case would be yourself.

A 50% cut in monthly music royalties would be a polite estimate!

However, with outsiders present, it was impossible for Wang Tianfeng to directly intervene.

And after thinking about it, he also understood Su Yu's purpose.

If the unit price goes down, the threshold also becomes lower.

This way, sales might also follow suit.

Currently, Su Yu's highest-selling song is "qilixiang", which has already been purchased over 80 million times.

If the single price of the song were to drop to the two chinese yuan mentioned by Su Yu.

Breaking a hundred million in sales, or even two hundred million, might not be a dream!

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is that the quality of the songs remains consistently excellent.

And when has Su Yu's work ever been subpar?

So Wang Tianfeng said nothing more, and as for the company's shareholders? He also had words to deal with them.

Wu Tianming had never expected Su Yu to make such a request.

He had previously thought that Su Yu might demand a large signing fee, and that not a single cent of the work's royalties would go to the Tengfei Music Platform.

He even expected a demand for maximum publicity and promotion!

These were the most basic conditions, and they were also their bargaining chips to entice Su Yu to sign an exclusive deal.

But he never, ever thought that Su Yu's condition would be this!

Their platform could not earn money from Su Yu for the next two to three years, and they were even prepared to pay a large sum.

The purpose was to quickly increase Tengfei Music's market share.

This way, whatever they invested in Su Yu would be recouped several, even dozens of times over, in other areas.

Moreover, just the news of Su Yu signing an exclusive deal with Tengfei Music would cause their stock price to surge!

So, as long as Su Yu's conditions were not overly excessive, they were very willing to agree.

After all, money from the stock market is the easiest to earn.

But to lower the single price of songs? This would directly offend all music platforms and the capital behind them.

You should know that it's easy to lower prices, but incredibly difficult to raise them again.

It was like the green bubble software charging incident of their group before the new year.

Their senior management had only released a little bit of information, wanting to test the users' reactions.

As a result, this test directly caused their market value to evaporate by 20 billion US dollars on that day!

In the end, it was the senior management who came forward to clarify, announcing that green bubble would never charge, and also spent money to repurchase some shares, which finally calmed the matter.

Therefore, unless you don't give it from the beginning, it's better not to easily open this door.

Otherwise, it really can't be stopped!

"Teacher Su Yu, I cannot agree to this request for now, but I will seriously discuss and explore its feasibility with the senior executives of the Great Entertainment Business Unit! Do you have any other requests?"

Wu Tianming said with a stiff upper lip.

He couldn't directly curse Su Yu for his wild ideas, and he also knew how spectacular the expressions on the faces of the senior executives would be once this news got back to them.

"As long as this one condition is met, all other conditions will remain unchanged from the original contract," Su Yu replied with a smile.

However, that smile felt a bit off to Wu Tianming.

He felt that Su Yu was using their Tengfei Music as a pawn!

But then again, who told Tengfei Music that they wanted to develop quickly?

Moreover, as one of the top five music platforms, they naturally had the qualifications to discuss the pricing of singles.

If Tianxing Entertainment or Su Yu had proposed this, the major music platforms would simply think they were crazy.

They wouldn't even need to pay attention.

Wu Tianming arrived with such confidence and high spirits, and left feeling just as dejected.

After seeing Wu Tianming off, Wang Tianfeng turned to Su Yu: "Are you serious about wanting to lower the single price of songs?"

Wang Tianfeng asked this because he was worried that Su Yu was just trying to refuse Tengfei Music's exclusive offer in a different way, so he wanted to confirm.

"I'm serious! I've wanted to do this for a long time.

If Tianxing Entertainment wasn't attracting so much attention right now, I would have wanted the company to establish its own video and music platforms."

Su Yu nodded seriously, stating his true thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianfeng's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Good heavens! Su Yu actually thought about having Tianxing Entertainment establish its own music and video platforms!

Given Tianxing Entertainment's current scale, without introducing external capital, it simply cannot afford these two incredibly money-burning projects.

Qimiao Video is backed by Baidu, Cool Video's capital daddy is Alibaba, Shuiguo Video is backed by Fruit TV, and Tengfei Video, needless to say, is from the Tengfei Group.

As for music platforms? They also have the shadows of these capital bigwigs within them.

If an entertainment company rashly joined in, the best outcome would probably be to eventually be acquired by one of these capital groups.

As for standing out? Without billions of funds poured in every year, it's impossible!
