Chapter 239: I'm the Master
Chu Yuanxi is no stranger to this form, but what does this thing have to do with the old man? What should you do if you dig Qi Yu away after explaining it to you? Wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?
However, thinking that Qi Yu's level was not so good as to be dug up, he felt that this idea was good, and it was Yuan Yu's kindness. Yuan Yu is definitely not a turtle investor, at least an iron-headed baby like Li Jingfei, which is equivalent to introducing him to the bigwigs in the investment circle.
So he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, if it's convenient, it's afternoon, right?"
Li Jingfei's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hey, that's a good idea." In the future, film investment will find Yuan Yu to guide her behind her back, and music investment will find Brother Chu. ”
Chu Yuanxi's face was very strange, and he pointed his thumb at his nose and said, "I am the master." ”
Li Jingfei looked at Chu Yuanxi with a confused expression, and then looked at Yuan Alfalfa, this time it was Yuan Alfalfa who was holding back his smile and was very uncomfortable.
Chu Yuanxi didn't accompany them to lunch, but went to talk to Uncle Sheng about the music in troubled times, and with Jiaotu skipping class, Uncle Sheng's script was not in a hurry to write, so he could make time for supporting music. This IP is going for super boutiques, and at least three songs are standard.
In fact, it was a little late to do this now, because things like mango tables, hats, and cultural shirts involved a lot of Chu Yuanxi's energy, so he didn't urge Uncle Sheng, but Uncle Sheng's procrastination was committed, and the things that he had explained a long time ago have not been done.
No way, people who are writers are simply standard with procrastination!
In the end, Uncle Sheng not only didn't eat lunch well, but his plan to go out on May Day was also ruined, and he needed to volunteer to work overtime during the long vacation.
After lunch, the investors who received Yuan Yu's call arrived one after another. Fortunately, Ba Ren Entertainment has moved to a new home, and there is a reception room that is relatively handy, otherwise it is really inconvenient to meet people.
Six or seven investors came, and sat half a circle next to the long table in the reception room, Chu Yuanxi saw that there were many familiar faces, most of them were fund partners, and there were also independent investors, but there was no fund manager level, and the grade was generally quite high.
Of course, this familiarity is that they are familiar with them, and they are definitely not familiar with themselves in this world.
After seeing that there were no people who were too annoying, Chu Yuanxi was not polite, and immediately went straight to the point after saying a few words.
At noon, he checked some information, piled it directly on the long table, he picked up a copy and said directly: "Let's talk about the giant in the music market first, domestic penguin music, and foreign Spotify." Penguin Music may know better, super unicorn, valued at 200 billion, the sound of the sky, you may have heard of it. ”
Seeing that the people below nodded one after another, Chu Yuanxi was not afraid that others would think he would be wordy, and continued: "The sound has created a history, and the New York Stock Exchange has allowed it to be listed directly, which can be regarded as a precedent in the securities market. ”
Immediately someone raised their hand and said, "What do you mean by going public?" ”
Chu Yuanxi took a look, he recognized this person, his name was Huang Sui, he used to be a fund manager, and then he mixed up, and now he is an independent investor, according to the memory of the original world, he is not very good at financial resources but knows many people.
"Listing is to issue new shares to raise funds for the development of the company, and direct listing is to allow shareholders to directly use their own stock of shares to trade in the open market, without issuing new shares. ”
Huang Sui really hadn't heard of this, he was Spartan at the time, and he had to envy how many "big and small non" in A-share companies! These big and small non-big and small companies really did everything they could to sell their stocks, and they even thought of "pledge liquidation" to reduce their holdings, and the New York Stock Exchange did this thing, which was a slap in the face......
After Chu Yuanxi explained, he continued: "Under this pattern shrouded by giants, has the singer's living environment changed for the better or worse? For example, the exclusive copyright of one of Pu Shu's albums was sold for 20 million, which was unimaginable in the past. So why is copyright so expensive? Because the vitality of online music has completely shifted to copyright concentration. ”
There is nothing new in this statement, of course, the investors here know the strength of Penguin Music to take the copyright in China, it is not called burning money, burning money can't burn so fast, it should be called taking a plane to pour money down - Penguin Music has intangible assets of more than 18 billion, accounting for sixty percent of net assets.
I only heard Chu Yuanxi continue: "So what is the value of investing in grassroots singers? First of all, there is nothing in the current laws and regulations that prevents singers from covering songs, in other words, the copyright protection of original songs can only protect what the singers sing themselves, and covers cannot be protected." You understand what that means?"
Yuan Yu's brain hole is not so big, and he followed Chu Yuanxi's train of thought and said: "It means that the cover can be sold for money?"
"No, it means that high-quality grassroots singers can keep music platforms alive. Chu Yuanxi wanted to laugh a little when he said this, because the person who should come the most today is Zhang Ming.
"For example, Douyin, Douyin has already faced a large number of copyright disputes, and there will be more in the future. Is a platform like Douyin worth a lot of money? There are always tens of billions of valuations, right? However, they don't have many copyrights, and facing lawsuits is one thing, and the key is that they may be stuck at any time.
Now no one realizes the seriousness of the problem, but the Douyin app lives on music, what if all the music is not allowed for them? That's why Douyin is pushing their original musician program, and high-quality grassroots singers can alleviate this problem. Therefore, short video platforms are naturally willing to give traffic to grassroots singers, because they can talk about copyright sharing. ”
"Hey, I remember that Baren Entertainment also participated in this plan?" Li Jingfei asked, "I see that Douyin on Weibo has been promoting this plan, and there are you in every issue." ”
"Yes, but we're just going to get traffic. Chu Yuanxi nodded, and then said: "A large number of high-quality grassroots singers can improve the copyright ecology of Douyin, at least in the current legal environment, so the value of these grassroots singers will be more and more valued by platforms like Douyin, and the traffic distribution will become more and more dominant, and the value will naturally increase." That's the first point. ”
Yuan Yu's voice recorder was always on, and when she heard this, she sent it directly to her brother.
Chu Yuanxi continued: "The second point, what are the disadvantages of grassroots musicians?"
Investors stared wide-eyed, and some tentatively said, "Not as good as a professional singer?"
"This is not called a disadvantage, this is a problem that can be solved by a sound repairer. The disadvantage I'm talking about is that grassroots singers generally lack the ability to compose original songs. Chu Yuanxi knocked on the blackboard behind him, "Songs can't do without songs, just having a good voice is not enough." But it is difficult for the grassroots to create good songs, so why are they called grassroots? Because singing is a hobby and lacks basic knowledge of music theory, it is called grassroots.
It's not that you can't create and don't want to create, but the quality of the songs you create is not good. Some singers sing very well, but they don't even understand the chords, which is their biggest shortcoming compared with professional musicians, which is also the reason why there are so many music tailors.
Creative ability is a big threshold that grassroots singers can't cross, so there is no way to sing the original song, only cover it. In fact, it is only a little grassroots than singing skills, and Sister Ying was grassroots before participating in Supergirl, which is not bad at all. The son of tomorrow on the sweater was also grassroots before, who dares to say that he has poor singing skills?
It's not that all grassroots don't have the ability to sing, but that kind is too few, and the most common phenomenon is cover.
So if there is capital, the grassroots can directly spend money to buy singing, directly solve the disadvantages of original songs, and achieve leapfrog development. ”
