I am the Entertainment Tycoon
Chapter 589: Moonlight and The Agent DiscussionsDining Room, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
07:35 AM, Thursday, January 4th.
Theo bade farewell to Aurora as she entered the car. Michelle soon started the car and drove
The car out of the garage.
Michelle went back to being Aurora's driver on her second day at school. Theo trusted Michelle to attend to Aurora's wishes, so he didn't have to worry about that.
The morning workout of that day happened as usual, so after everyone had breakfast, they left for their respective jobs and commitments.
After Aurora left, it was only Theo and Ayia left at the house.
Theo would have left for to animation studio as well, but Ayia asked him to stay behind as she wanted to talk about Moonlight-related things.
Ayia instructed Shizuka to go back to their house without her, she could do this as she lived close to Theo now.
That's why, the couple were seated in the living room talking about serious things."Remember what I told you last Tuesday?" Ayia asked as they sat down.
Theo thought for a while before replying, "That you were dealing with a few labels?" He asked unsurely.
He didn't have much recollection of what happened last Tuesday.
"Yes and no." Ayia replied with a teasing smile, "Actually, I was negotiating with a few labels about releasing your physical album. I also was dealing with some other stream platforms to put your album there as well."
Although Track dominated the music market, that didn't mean that they didn't have competitors. The Track platform faced even a fierce competition in the Pangese market. As the Pangu Country had more than one billion citizens, everyone wanted to dominate the music market there. But the Track App wasn't able to achieve domination there as there was a Pangese streaming that was extremely popular in the country. XiaoYi was the music platform, and this same streaming service even wanted to compete with the Track App worldwide.
Shortly, even with worldwide dominance of the music streaming market, the Track App still couldn't win in every country.
That's why Ayia was trying to put Theo's music on these other platforms. Only this way, he would be able to fully hit the whole world with his music.
"Really? How did it go down?" Theo asked with a curious face.
He knew that if Ayia was speaking about this subject, it meant that she achieved what she wanted with these dealings.
"First of all, about the physical copies of the Moonlight Album. The labels first were demanding full exclusivity over your music and future work as well. But as soon as I heard their demands, I refused as I knew you wouldn't accept." Ayia said as she shook her head in disbelief at how greedy these labels could get.
Theo nodded in approval as soon as he heard that. He would never sell himself for a label contract. From his past life, he knew how greedy and demanding these labels could get over an artist.
"So, I just waited for a few weeks, and when the news portals reported how much money you'd receive from your stream and view number of January, I received their call soon after. I guess they couldn't wait anymore to get a little piece of the pie." Ayia giggled, "For the last few days, I spent a lot of time negotiating with a couple of labels. And yesterday, I arrived at a final decision with the Webb Label. They will produce your physical CD and Vynil Albums, but they will only receive their compensation from these physical album copies sales. They won't have any hold on your music or future work."
As soon as Theo heard that, he let out a bright smile.
"You are awesome, babe!" Theo exclaimed before pulling her into a kiss and a hug.
"Thanks, babe." Ayia giggled as they let go of each other.
"You'll receive the maximum cut an artist can receive over the sales, which 20% of the sales will be yours." She continued, "Coming back to the other streaming platforms. After a lot of talks, I was able to secure contracts with them with the same conditions you have with the Track platform. In other words, your music will finally hit every music platform in the market. I predict that your album will achieve even bigger things this month." She said with enthusiasm.
"I knew my girlfriend was awesome, I'm so lucky." Theo said with an exaggerated sigh.
"You're so corny." Ayia said with a giggle as she gave him a kiss on his cheek.
Theo just laughed before saying, "When do I sign these contracts?"
"They will draft the contracts over the next few days, as soon as I receive them and inspect them, I'll bring them for you to sign." Ayia replied, "But I bet that they won't take long to draft these contracts as they were crazy to get a little piece of the profit you are making."
"Do they already have..." Theo and Ayia then started discussing other details about Moonlight's dealings.
They talked so casually that they didn't even look that they were discussing profits over hundreds of millions of dollars.
It was in the middle of their conversation that Theo suddenly received a message from Sylph.
He picked up his phone to see what it was, but when he saw the content of the message he stopped breathing for a little bit.
Sylph messaged him to inform him that the money from the Track and Ruby Platforms arrived.
When he saw the total money, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
[$146.587.028,58]
This was the amount of money that Sylph reported that came from the two platforms.
That was almost 150 million dollars!
When Ayia his abnormal reactions, she asked, "What is it, babe?"
"Hmm, I received the money from Moonlight's stream and view numbers of January." He answered with a nervous voice, "Look." He said as he showed her the number.
Ayia looked at the screen with a shocked face, her eyes went wide with the amount.
Even if she came from a rich family, she never really dealt with that much money. The Yamada Family was very strict with how much money they gave to their youths, so Ayia never saw so much money in her life. So, her reaction was only normal.
"Wow! I never saw so much money!" Ayia exclaimed in wonder.
"Me neither... Do I even deserve so much money? I'm a little nervous." Theo said with a low
Voice.
Ayia immediately noticed the uneasiness in his voice, so she promptly held his head and made him look into her eyes, "Theo, you deserve all the success of this world. You're so talented! Remember that this money isn't what defines you. It is what you choose to do with it.
Remember your dreams and projects! Didn't you want to make this world a better place with
Your projects? With this money, you can realize all your projects."
Theo's eyes lit up as he heard his girlfriend's words.
'She's right!' He thought to himself.
"Thank you, babe!" He whispered into her ear as he pulled her into a tight hug.
The couple had a lovely moment as they hugged for a long while.
