System: Master Your Life-Chapter 502 - 118: Writing Songs for Celebrities, 4,000 Per Word!_3
After all, many women actually look bad in yoga pants. On one hand, it’s because their hips don’t look good and their legs are average. On the other hand, the lower abdomen protrudes, and yoga pants make these flaws very obvious.
Meanwhile, some fitness bloggers online who have nice-looking hips, it’s hard to say how many of them are real. There’s a type of clothing now where, as long as you put it on, you can have a nice and shapely butt; it’s the same with the chest, there are also pads.
Chi Linyue naturally doesn’t have to worry about this issue.
"Don’t mess around!"
"I’ll just touch a bit, I also have some things to take care of later."
"Then hurry up."
Xu Lin touched for a while, not yet satisfied.
"I’ll go get busy now." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Hurry up, you’re being a troublemaker all day here."
"Got it!"
Xu Lin finally left the yoga room and went back to Chi Linyue’s room, turning on the desktop computer.
With the new semester starting, Xu Lin also needed to start working.
This semester, his focus will also shift towards the entertainment industry.
One is the film aspect, and the other is the music aspect.
Xu Lin logged into his work account.
He hadn’t logged into his work account for several days, so there were many unread messages.
Xu Lin glanced through them and surprisingly found messages from G.E.M. and Xue Zhiqian, both from three days ago, at the same time; maybe they agreed to message together.
Xu Lin clicked to check and found that they wanted him to write songs.
Xue Lin was quite surprised about this, he thought they were just joking around before the New Year, didn’t expect it to be for real.
Xu Lin replied uniformly:
"Just got online, sorry."
"Do you want it customized based on your style?"
After sending, Xu Lin didn’t expect these big stars to reply first thing, so he turned to their small group chat from the disciple class.
Xu Lin:
"New year, new atmosphere, everyone is ready to start working recently."
"I’ll study a bit, in the next few days I’ll give everyone new songs, just practice well and then release the new song like before."
Yun Hehe: "Got it!"
Yun Hehe: "Master, long time no see!"
Xu Lin had entered the group once the day before New Year’s Eve, after that he hadn’t opened it.
Xu Lin: "Long time no see."
Then several more apprentices greeted.
Yun Hehe then posted a screenshot of the music earnings from QQ music.
This was the earnings from the past half month, after all, her song was released only for half a month.
But even for just half a month, the earnings were very high.
535,867.63 yuan.
Yun Hehe: "Master, this is the income for half a month!"
"This high in half a month?"
If Xu Lin wasn’t used to high earnings, he certainly wouldn’t be so calm.
Xie Ting chimed in: "Master, the main sources of income on QQ music are from streaming shares, download shares, ad shares, and fan rewards. Additionally, there are two more, membership package pay shares and copyright licensing income, but we don’t have these two currently, so it’s the first four shares. Now our songs are very popular, so the platform’s overall revenue share is high."
Then Xie Ting also showed a detailed revenue sharing agreement screenshot.
Xu Lin took a look and understood the situation.
"Master, this one is mine!"
Xie Ting also showed his backend income.
Xie Ting had several songs, earning even more, reaching over 3.3 million this month, several times higher than Yun Hehe.
Xu Lin: "Awesome!"
What about the others?
The other four people were about the same income range as Yun Hehe.
For example, Li Xiaoxiao, with over 560,000 income.
Jiang Chengzi, apart from Xie Ting, was the highest, with over 670,000 income.
As for their income from platform shares, Xu Lin would take a portion, which was previously contracted.
Future income primarily comes from two sources, one is platform income, and the other is from their concerts.
The income generated by one or two people for Xu Lin would naturally not be too much, but if there are many people, adding up, the income generated for Xu Lin would be exaggerated.
Xu Lin is still in the start-up stage now.
Xu Lin: "I looked around, and everyone is doing pretty well. I’ll give everyone a new song in a couple of days to start new work."
Xie Ting: "Received!"
There was then a string of "received" messages.
Xu Lin didn’t stay in the group for long, then left the group. By this time, G.E.M. had already replied, but Xue Zhiqian hadn’t yet.
G.E.M.: "Mr. Xu, I’d like you to customize one based on my style!"
Xu Lin: "Okay, you can specify your requirements."
For the next half an hour, Xu Lin was discussing with her about the song’s style, theme, and other aspects.
It was actually a love song, but as long as it’s a song, it definitely has various characteristics, plus it needs to be custom-made to the other party’s vocal style, so it’s not a simple task.
"Mr. Xu, these are my specific requirements, what about the price?"
"The price is negotiable, but I have one more requirement, for the subsequent revenue that this song generates, I’ll need 20%, how does Miss Deng feel about it?"
"That’s no problem at all!"
Actually, 20% isn’t much.
So G.E.M. said: "20% seems a little unfair to Mr. Xu’s talent, why don’t you take 40%?"
"Miss Deng, you’re very straightforward!"
He didn’t expect her to give 40%.
Inspired by G.E.M., Xu Lin decided that from now on, when writing songs for celebrities, in addition to the basic fee, he’d take 40% of the subsequent revenue.
"By the way, Miss Deng, if your concert features my song, how about one million per concert?"
"That’s not a problem either, I find it very okay."
