Chapter 1627: Empty Glove White Wolf
Lin Feng came to the five major record companies again.
Of course, the five major record companies also have to come one by one.
Just conquer one, and the follow-up will be easy to say.
Lin Feng first arrived at Warner Records.
After all, the two sides have also cooperated, and there is always a little foundation.
I didn't agree last time, because it is true that digital copyright will infringe on the interests of the other party. The other party did not see the benefits brought by digital copyright and the future development trend.
In this future, countless singers have begun to take digital copyright. Sell songs on the web.
It can't be helped, that's the general trend.
"Mr. Qin, you're here again. Warner Records' president Edgar Blonnman Jr. shook his head helplessly.
Regarding Lin Feng's suggestion, he has analyzed that there is a possibility of success. But that would hurt a lot of our current partners. For example, a record line. Their interests will be the most damaged.
And their development is inseparable from the support of these record houses.
So, he could only refuse.
For Qin Feng to come again, he couldn't refuse. After all, Qin Feng is a piano master, the only piano master in the world who can play the most difficult "Girl's Fantasia". With these titles, it can be said that any record store can refuse to cooperate with Qin Feng, but it must not refuse Qin Feng to come.
If you refuse this, in the music industry, it will cause some antique dissatisfaction. Especially the dissatisfaction of the piano circle. This dissatisfaction will lead to the dissatisfaction of many composers. That would probably anger many of their singers, and it would be difficult to get better songs.
Therefore, no matter how helpless he was, he still had to meet Qin Feng.
As for Qin Feng's cooperation before, what kind of situation is that.
No!
"I'm not here to talk to you about digital music rights this time. Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's about another cooperation." ”
"What cooperation?" wondered Edgar Blonnman Jr.
"Yes, everyone is happy, mutually beneficial cooperation!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Please!" Edgar Bronfman Jr. was extremely interested in what would be a mutually beneficial cooperation.
"Mobile, you know!" Qin Feng said.
Edgar Bronnfman Jr. nodded.
I'm using a Nokia 2110 right now!
Qin Feng smiled.
With Nokia, that's easy to say.
"I made an agreement with Nokia. Qin Feng said.
Edgar Bronfman Jr. instinctively glanced at his phone.
This guy came to him, probably because he was using Nokia. However, what agreement did he reach with Nokia.
"I don't know what President Blomfman thinks about the future development of mobile phones?" Qin Feng asked.
Edgar Bronfman Jr. thought for a moment.
"This thing, it's very convenient, it's really convenient for us. But I think it will soon spread among ordinary people as well. Because, contact and communication are too convenient. Edgar Bronfman Jr. lamented.
"In the future, everyone will have a mobile phone, do you believe it?" Qin Feng said.
Edgar Bronfman Jr. hesitated slightly, then nodded.
This is the general trend.
"So, what do you think about the ringtone?" Qin Feng asked again.
This time made little Edgar Blomfman's eyes light up.
"Mr. Qin, let me guess. You made a deal with Nokia, is it a ringtone-related agreement!" asked Edgar Bronfman Jr.
Qin Feng nodded.
"In this agreement, I am responsible for the development of the relevant mobile phone ringtones, and Nokia provides a commercial platform for sales, a ringtone, priced at $1. Qin Feng said with a smile, "Assuming that everyone has a mobile phone in the future, excluding some extremely poor countries, only 4 billion people in the world use mobile phones." One per person, 4 billion a year. So, assuming that an average of one ringtone is downloaded in a quarter per year, then there are 160 ringtones a year, which is $16 billion in revenue. ”
$16 billion in earnings. That's pretty much pure gain.
$16 billion! That's staggering.
In particular, the number may be even higher.
"And what does Mr. Qin want to talk about?" asked Edgar Blofman Jr., holding his breath.
"It's simple, collaborative. Qin Feng said, "Your company sent professionals to assist me in changing the music of your company's artists into ringtones." Then put it on the Internet and sell it. And the benefit sharing, your company can get 2% of the income. As for sharing with artists, that's your company's business. ”
Twenty percent. This is naturally not Qin Feng's psychological price.
Nokia took 30% of the sales share, and the remaining 70%, as far as Qin Feng is concerned, there should still be 70% or 80% of the benefits left. After all, the operating costs of this website itself are very low. In terms of servers, the contract Qin Feng signed with Nokia before was provided by Nokia.
Qin Feng didn't have any opinion on this. He knew that this was Nokia's desire to take control of the initiative, to control the platform.
However, Qin Feng understands that this kind of ringtone sales is just a few years of scenery. Once the smartphone is on the market, there will be no market for this ringtone sale. Because anyone can just get an MP3 into it, and it can be used as a ringtone. Even, recording a piece of music by yourself can also be used as a ringtone.
At that point, you don't have any market.
So, if Nokia wants to take it, take it. Anyway, Nokia out of the platform server and other related expenses. For Qin Feng, there are only benefits, no harm.
And aside from this fee, the rest of the costs are minimal. Therefore, in terms of profits, Qin Feng believes that there will be a lot left.
After being busy with yourself, you naturally have to earn more.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, gives the record company a maximum of 30% of its profit share. Of course, if they fully agree to make an adaptation here, without Qin Feng's interference, Qin Feng only needs to send someone to manage the website and the related payment platform, then Qin Feng doesn't mind giving one more percent.
"It's twenty percent, that's too little!" said Edgar Blonnman Jr. with a frown.
Qin Feng grinned.
As long as the other party feels that the money is small, then it is easy to say. If you have this intention, you can talk about it.
Subsequently, the two sides engaged in a war of words, and in the end, a 35% profit share was reached.
All related to the sale of songs by Time Warner's artists, Time Warner has a 35% interest. During this period, Qin Feng showed him all the Nokia sharing contracts.
The 30% share of sales also made Edgar Bronfman Jr. no longer ask for more. Although his side is out of copyright. However, this platform is more important than copyright.
Rather than painstakingly building the platform yourself, let Nokia do it. That way, they'll have to worry a little less.
Of course, under the condition of 35% profit sharing, that is, all song adaptations are handled by Time Warner. Moreover, Qin Feng set a time limit.
Within a week, all popular songs must be adapted.
And the relevant tools for adapting songs, Qin Feng also gave Warner.
In this way, Qin Feng's side will save trouble.
Perhaps, this is the empty glove white wolf.
No, this should be called an intermediary.
