Chapter 212： The first to join

The report by Shane-Hall had no substantial impact on public opinion. After all, as long as there are people alive in this world, they have to rush for life, which is the most vulgar way. Those who don't eat human fireworks are angels, not humans. After a while, everyone became aware of Sean Hall's report, so it just exploded and then disappeared.

But for the "News of the World", the income of that issue has already been paid, and it has achieved its purpose.

Rewind the clock to the week when the News of the World just broke the news that Evan Bell was behind "Pop Idol," rewind the place to the one where Jason Mayez went to Cambridge to find Evan Bell afternoon.

"Haha, unknowingly, Eleven Music has also become a name." Evan Yibel was very happy and laughed cheerfully.

Not long ago, Evan Bell said that Teddy Bell thought too much and divided "Chuan" into Eleven Design, Eleven Music and other departments. Unexpectedly, in just one month, Eleven Music has really made a name for itself. Although there is only one Evan Bell in the studio, Eleven Music Studio, one of the top ten players of "pop idols", has all of them. Priority signing rights, which is a huge asset.

What's more, Eleven Music Studio also owns the invisible wealth of Evan Bell. You must know that the album "One" was produced by Evan Bell alone. Except for some help in recording, the whole album was created, produced, compiled, planned and recorded by him alone. Such a talent This is the fundamental reason why everyone has confidence in Eleven Music Studio.

"Eleven Music Studio has now entered the public's field of vision. I'm afraid that it will become more and more popular in the future. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future." He speaks in a gentle manner, like a gentleman, but such a joke is even more joyous: "I just don't know if Bell, you want me to join the studio."

As far as the past few days, the popularity of "pop idols" is still on the rise and has not reached its peak. If Evan Bell is not mistaken, when the championship is decided in the finals in February next year, it will be the highest point of "pop idols". At that time, not only the program itself, but also the players will receive the highest attention. Fremantle Media The production copyright of the program controlled by Evan-Bell will also become a fragrant bun in the eyes of various countries. Now many countries have indeed put forward "interest", but they are only interested. They will definitely continue to pay attention and watch the follow-up of the program. The effect is whether it is a meteor in the night or there is a possibility of a sustainable exhibition.

Therefore, the draft frenzy brought by "pop idols" in February next year will have the greatest effect. At that time, Eleven Music Studio, which has the priority to sign contracts for the ten finalists, will surely attract much attention. Evan-Bell suddenly realized that the opportunity of Eleven Music Studio and even Eleven Company Exhibition was getting closer. Sean-Hall's attention afterward has played an unexpected role in promoting Eleven Music Studio's reputation. After all, 30,000 newspaper sales are not a small number.

Jason-Mayez can choose to come to the door at this time, not only because of a good judgment, not only because of the prospects of Eleven Music Studio, but also because of Evan-Bell himself. Otherwise, with his popular music wizard, with his outstanding live ability and outstanding musical talent, there are definitely not a few record companies who want to sign him.

Evan-Bell had to sigh that in terms of the overall situation of the company's exhibition, even though he was a person of two generations, his vision was still inferior to Teddy-Bell.

It's really a question of talent. Before everything rose, Teddy Bell was keenly aware of the opportunity, and took the lead in laying the foundation for Eleven Company, which currently only has three people, and made all preparations for future exhibitions. Now, Eleven Music Studio is about to usher in its first exhibition opportunity. Evan Bell has reason to be confident and believes that Eleven Music Studio will take off.

"Majez, don't you remember what I said when you came to see me last time?" Evan Yibel didn't hesitate, and the consideration for the future of the studio just flashed in his mind, and the words From the corner of the smiling mouth jumped out, "I said at the time: If I have a channel in the future, I would actually be willing to make an album for you, but not yet. In fact, I was willing to make an album for you last time, even a Your contract is in your hands. But you know, as I said, Eleven Music Studio doesn't have enough resources at the moment. Even my own albums are from Warner Records."

There will be milk, and there will be bread. Evan-Bell believes that Eleven Music Studio will have everything, but it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, so it is necessary to take it step by step. What's more, having just purchased a property in lower Manhattan, and then began to renovate it, Evan Bell doesn't have much money left, so at this time, all the channels are floating clouds.

Listening to Evan-Bell's words, Jason-Mayaz looked over with serious eyes, looking at Evan-Bell's excited face, and the firmness in his heart became deeper. This is honesty, self-knowledge, and absolute confidence. Jason-Maz saw all the convincing factors in Evan Bell's eyes.

"If you want to be a member of the studio, I absolutely welcome you. ... Evan Bell made his position clear at the moment, and Evan Bell has always liked talents like Jason Maez.

Back at the Eagle Rock Music Festival, Evan-Bell once thought that if people with common dreams could gather in a studio, do what they like, move toward their established goals, and enjoy life to the fullest, it would be a great idea. What a pleasant thing.

"But you have seen the current situation of my studio last time. I can only say that everything is still starting, but it will be exhibited." Evan Yi Bell did not deliberately lift his spirits, waved his fists and shouted slogans, but The unmistakable tone was full of confidence.

Jason-Mayer's smile showed before Evan-Bell finished speaking, "Bell, your situation is much better than mine." As if mocking the situation, Jason-Mayer This is pointing to himself, "This is all my assignment." As a wandering singer, Jason-Maez doesn't have much fortune. "So, being able to join Eleven Music Studio is definitely for me. It's a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to recommend it.

"This sentence made Evan Bell clapped and laughed.

After laughing, Jason-Mayez's smile closed, and half-jokingly, half-seriously said, "I just hope to find a like-minded partner and happily make music, that's all." Mayez didn't say it officially, but Evan Bell knew that this was Jason-Mayez's fundamental idea for joining Eleven Music Studio, or should be said to be his only request.

Like Evan Bell's insistence, Jason Maez doesn't want to deliberately change himself to meet business needs. When making music becomes an existence to please, the original joy ceases to exist.

The smile on Evan Bell's mouth didn't close, and he answered half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You should really watch my performance on Oprah's talk show." Appearance "Of course, not all of what was said on the show is true, but at least half of it is true, so you can still make a **** to see it." This time, it was Jason-Maez's turn to clapp his hands and laugh.

The Oprah Show, of course Jason-Mayaz watched it. Evan Bell will answer this sentence at this time, but the meaning is obvious: he set up Eleven Music Studio just to insist on his music dream, for which he rejected Warner Records and Universal Music successively. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to move forward on this thorny road alone. That answer, more than any vague promise, made Jason-Mayaz happier.

The drafting of the contract naturally requires the help of Eden Hudson, a top law student. But Eden-Hudson had no experience with this, and didn't know where to start. In the end, Teddy Bell asked Claire Days for a standard contract with Warner Records, and then modified it according to the requirements of Eleven Music Studio.

Generally speaking, when a singer signs a contract with a brokerage company, they get royalties, ranging from 10% to 20%, and the creator's own copyright is calculated separately. In this figure, Evan-Bell gave Jason-Mayez 25%, which is higher than the average level in the industry, which is almost the royalty ratio of the first-line singers in the industry.

As for the copyright part, since Jason-Mayez is also an original singer, almost all of his songs are composed by himself, which is basically 15% in the digital industry, and then according to the copyright department of the record company and the creator's personal copyright. to be apportioned in part. This figure is Jason-Mayaz gets 10%, Eleven Music Studio gets 5.

On the whole, after an album is sold, Jason-Mayez can make a **** to get 5 income, and the copyright income for other purposes will be calculated additionally. This figure is definitely a ratio that only a few first-line singers can have. It's not that Evan Bell is merciful, but he knows the difficulties of independent musicians and made his decision within the scope of the company's position.

Three days later, Jason-Majez officially became a member of Eleven Music Studio, and became a signed singer of Eleven Music Studio. The contract is valid for five years. Eleven Music Studio still has priority when Lou stops. right to contract.

This news was only announced on Eleven Music Blog, and it did not cause too much movement in the mainstream media. However, a few professional musicians realized that Eleven Music Studio had joined another strong supporter.

After signing the contract, Jason-Mayez rented a house in Bōston, and there was another visitor in the basement of Eleven Music Studio.

Entering November, Evan Bell's peaceful life seems to be gone forever, and after Jason Maez's visit, he has another visitor. This time, Teddy Bell personally brought it to the door. ! .
