Chapter 324 The copyright fee must be paid

Zhao Zimin told Liu Yun that the new single "Little Lucky" that had just been recorded still needs to be fine-tuned in the later stage, and it was agreed that it would be officially released on the radio and the Internet after the National Day holiday.

Liu Yun expressed his satisfaction with this plan, he understood that there was no problem with the quality of this song, it was catchy, especially those moving and beautiful lyrics were very easy to arouse people's emotional resonance, and they were especially easy to be popular with those girls.

He thought again that since he had accompanied Tian Fu to record a single, he felt that it was a bit too little to record only one song, so he might as well record another one.

Liu Yun sat in his position and meditated, releasing two original songs at one time seemed to be a bit too ostentatious, in his opinion, good things should be released step by step and slowly, in order to play the greatest value.

For example, when two golden songs are released together, the one that is more in the limelight often overshadows the light of the other, resulting in the other golden song not reaching the height it should have reached.

But only one song is released, both the number of plays and the coverage are limited, if you want to have more exposure, it is the most appropriate choice to release two songs together, and it can also be seen that it is a double insurance.

Liu Yun suddenly thought of the orientation party on the day of his freshman year, and Tian Fu's singing was amazing.

What song did she sing? By the way, it was "Like You" by the famous band Beyond.

Liu Yun thought of a way, this time he recorded two songs, an original song "Little Lucky", and the other was a cover song "Like You".

I remember that more than ten years later, on the stage of Mango Satellite TV's "I Am a Singer", Xiangjiang super newcomer Deng Ziqi shocked the audience with a song "Like You", which caused a sensation in the audience, and also made this long-dormant classic Cantonese song popular again.

Since then, he has heard that many people will use this song "Like You" as a ringtone, but it is basically Deng Ziqi's version.

As for why this phenomenon occurs, Liu Yun has also analyzed it carefully. There is no doubt that Huang Jiaju's version is an impeccable classic, but after all, it is relatively old, and Deng Ziqi's version gives this song new vitality, which is a youthful atmosphere, which is more likely to be sought after by young people.

And that day, Tian Fu's performance at the welcome party also gave Liu Yun a similar feeling, youth is invincible!

Just do it when you think of it, Liu Yun said: "Mr. Zhao, I want to record another cover song, which is beyond's "Like You", and it will be released together with "Little Lucky" at that time." ”

Zhao Zimin showed a hint of surprise, obviously didn't expect Liu Yun to choose this song, so she said: "Of course you can, what is Miss Tian's Cantonese level?"

Liu Yun replied: "No problem, I heard her sing "Like You" live, and the audience on the stage was very good." ”

Zhao Zimin nodded and said, "That's okay, let's go to the studio to record another song." ”

About an hour later, Zhao Zimin walked out of the recording studio with Tian Fu with a satisfied expression and said, "The effect is good, Miss Tian's Cantonese level is even better than I imagined." ”

Of course, Liu Yun knew that Tian Fu's Cantonese proficiency was not bad, and he had heard her two scenes, "Like You" and "A Thousand Thousand Songs". This Nizi may often practice in private.

He suddenly remembered a little and said, "Teacher Zhao, we are all law-abiding citizens, and we can't do things like stealing chickens and dogs." The cover copyright of this song still has to be purchased from Xiangjiang, and the price can even be a little more expensive than the market price. ”

Zhao Zimin asked with some surprise: "Nowadays, pirated songs are rampant on the Internet, and there are countless cover songs, and I haven't heard of those cover singers spending money to buy copyright fees." ”

Liu Yun shook his head very seriously and said, "They are them, and I am me." This copyright fee must be paid, and the contract must be written in black and white. ”

As a young tycoon, Liu Yun feels that he should take the lead in setting an example, that is, respecting intellectual copyright, and not wanting to leave a handle that will be criticized.

Emotionally, he personally likes this palace-level band in Hong Kong, as well as the late Chinese superstar Huang Jiaju.

In the eighties and nineties of the last century, buying songs from Japan and filling in Chinese lyrics was very popular in the Xiangjiang music scene, and Huang Jiaju is a singer who has always insisted on originality.

For example, those familiar classic songs: Glorious Years, Sea and Sky, Like You, he wrote the lyrics and songs alone.

When he passed away unexpectedly, the famous Taiwanese musician Luo Dayou once said: So far, there is no real musician in Hong Kong, except for Huang Jiaju. I don't know if it's a compliment to beyond or a disdain for the Hong Kong music scene.

The money was made by Liu Yun, and since he so strongly asked to contact Xiangjiang and pay the copyright fee, Zhao Zimin could only nod and agree.

Liu Yun took a deep breath and said: "Why is there such a huge gap between our Chinese pop music and Japan and South Korea, as well as Europe and the United States, is because the rights and interests of many musicians in our country are not protected, piracy is rampant, and there is no money, who will engage in music in the future." I'm just doing this to make a gesture for everyone, you can cover someone else's song, but you have to give the original author's permission and pay a fee. Although Mr. Huang Jiaju is no longer alive, the money can be given to the Beyond Orchestra, Mr. Huang Jiaju's family, or the Heung Kong Music Association. ”

He said it sincerely, and Zhao Zimin, who was a little dissatisfied with Liu Yun's views, was actually said to be a little moved.

"No wonder he was so successful at this age and was able to amass so much wealth. I'm just obsessed with how old he is, and I don't see things as comprehensively and thoroughly as he does. I'm also a musician myself, and I even have the idea that I'm not going to pay the copyright fee. At this moment, Zhao Zimin felt that there was a hot feeling on her face.

She said very seriously: "Mr. Liu, I have a little connection over there in Xiangjiang. I'll arrange it right away to make sure it's done for you. ”

Liu Yun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let me emphasize again, even if the price is a little more expensive than the market price, it is fine, this is a kind of sincerity, and it is also a respect for Mr. Huang Jiaju." By the way, although the song "Like You" has been recorded, as long as the copyright is not negotiated, we will not publish it. This is not a glorious thing for Tian Fu. ”

He thought that if Tian Fu really became popular one day, people with a heart would be curious about how she debuted. Once it was discovered that the songs she sang were not authorized by the original author, it would become a stain on her career.
