In a studio in the magic capital.

"It's okay, thank you. ”

After more than five hours of being a tool man, I finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the photographer's words. However, the next moment, an assistant came over and whispered to him.

There was no way, he could only lift his spirit and walk up to a woman with outstanding temperament and say, "Miss Liu, thank you very much for helping me shoot the album cover." I'll have to go back to the studio. ”

The Miss Liu in his mouth is the well-known photographer Liu Man, and he was specially invited to take a cover photo of his album this time.

"I also have to thank you for providing me with a big job, and besides, you are handsome, and I shoot very smoothly. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, then I'll go first, bye-bye. ”

Then Rongyi changed back into his clothes and hurried back to the studio with his assistant.

However, when I arrived at the door of the general manager's office, I saw a half-aged walking out of it with two young girls.

One of the two girls is petite and exquisite, while the other is in his early seventies and has a good temperament.

When they saw the glory, their eyes lit up, and they were quite excited. This feeling of honor is a little familiar, like a fan of his own.

"Nice owner. ”

"Hello boss, I'm Liu Xiaoxia. ”

"I'm Zhang Yue. ”

Rongyi naturally knew each other, and these two girls were newly signed artists under their studio. is currently a junior at the Modu Conservatory of Music, and he also made a MV for his album songs before.

"Uh, hello. ”

"Boss, you're busy first, I'll take them out. The woman who opened her mouth was still charming, named Lin Yalan, who was the agent of these two signed artists, and Li Lin specially found her.

It's not clear how the ability is, but Li Lin is optimistic that the explanation is not bad.

"Bye-bye. ”

...

"Knock knock. Rong Yi knocked on the door.

"Please come in. ”

When Rongyi walked in, Li Lin was still immersed in work, and he didn't care about the people who came in at all. Rong Yi didn't bother, just sat on the sofa and waited for a while.

"Xiaoyi, why didn't you squeak when you came in, I thought it was someone else. Li Lin finished the matter in hand, and when he looked up, he found Rongyi.

"It's okay, I just finished taking the album cover photo, and it's rare to take a break. ”

"It's been a hard time for you, and I called because there are some things that need to be consulted by you, and it's inconvenient to talk on the phone. ”

Then Li Lin began to get down to business: "Before, your songs were released on the whole network, and now TT Music has learned that the quality of your new album is quite good, and they want to sign an exclusive license." The initial conditions given were no less than an eight-figure signing fee, as well as an increase in the profit-sharing ratio and a large amount of resources to promote. ”

"If you sign all the copyrights of your songs to TT Music in the future, the price can be even higher. ”

"Of course, other music platforms have also come to the door, but in terms of signing money or resources, including platform traffic, it is far inferior to TT Music. ”

If it is exclusively licensed, then Rongyi can get great benefits before the album is released. And today's TT Music is a leader in terms of music platforms, and behind it is a huge totem group.

It's definitely a good thing to have a good relationship with them.

Ke Rongyi currently publishes works, and is more concerned about the exposure of the work, so as to gain popularity. If you sign an exclusivity, it will not be conducive to the wide dissemination of the musical work, and it will lose a part of the potential audience to a great extent.

There will always be a small number of die-hard fans of music platforms.

What's more, he used to suffer the bitter fruit of the exclusive copyright of music platforms and video websites, and often had to change platforms to find songs or film and television dramas. The money to open a membership VIP is not a problem, but it is troublesome and disgusting.

"The album should be released on all platforms, and I want it more than the paid model..."

Before Rong Yi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Lin: "No, it's not free." ”

"Before, "Glory" was a promotional song, and it was normal to be free, but your album must not be free. It's not just about interests, because with album sales, you can get hundreds of millions of profits at the minimum. ”

"Ahh Quite a lot. ”

Rong Yi sometimes unconsciously ignores the changes brought about by his identity, that is, everything about him basically has value.

"Actually, I know that the free model will make your album songs more popular, so it is very easy for your endorsement and business trips to make a lot of money, and that is the big profit. ”

platform sales, but also score platform money, and endorsements and commercial performances only need to pay taxes.

"There's a lot of money paid for albums, but that's not why I don't agree to be free. ”

"First of all, the current music scene is declining, and the songs that can be played today are basically one or two decades ago, and in recent years, only a small number of popular songs have occupied a place. If your album is free, then the quality of other people's albums is far inferior to yours, and you will be ridiculed by the group? ”

"More importantly, you need to set a good example for today's paid music market and cultivate the habit of those listeners paying for music. ”

Rong Yi instantly understood.

In the past, most listeners didn't have much money in their pockets, and they didn't agree with the idea of paying for music. Why do you spend money on a lot of free songs on the Internet?

However, only a small number of people support the genuine version, and they can't support people at all, resulting in a shortage of employees in the music industry.

Now that the above attaches importance to copyright issues, and the audience also has spare money in their hands, they have begun to pay attention to spiritual food. But the problem is that the music scene has long been mired in a quagmire and has no power to return to the sky.

This is cause and effect.

If the predecessors did not plant trees, how can the descendants enjoy the shade?

Just like if online novels can be read for free, then will authors still bother to ponder their works? It has completely become a fast food culture, and the quality of online articles will decline predictably.

"Okay, then choose the paid model, but there must be a number of free trials, and the specific questions will be up to Aunt Lin to contact the platform. ”

Li Lin nodded, this is what she should do.

"By the way, you're done with the album cover, and it's time to make a physical record, do you have any ideas on the quantity?"

"The first batch will be set at one million, and then it will be determined according to demand, after all, at this stage, they are all digital albums. ”

"Well, it's hard to sell physical records at this stage. ”

"As for the price, it is on par with the market, the price of a digital album is 15 yuan, the purchase of a single song is 2 yuan, and the price of a physical record is 80 yuan. In addition, you will need to hold several record signing sessions at that time, which can be regarded as a benefit to fans, and can also be regarded as an explanation to the album producers and underwriters. ”

Regardless of the fact that the pricing is far apart, it is possible that the profits generated by physical records are not guaranteed to be more than those of digital albums. After all, digital albums can be purchased in large quantities, and all they bring with them is a bunch of data and do not take up space.

The madness of the fans is absolutely beyond imagination.

In addition, the "Leisurely Life" variety show sent an invitation, do you want to accept it? There are also several interview invitations and celebrity talk shows. ”

Rongyi: "......"

If he releases music albums again in the future, he will be a dog!

"Pick it up, take it all. ”

Recording songs, shooting MVs, shooting covers, interviews, programs, announcements, signing sessions, etc., which doesn't take a lot of time?
