Qian Dachao's suggestions to Jiang Dongliu are all very conscientious suggestions, and they are by no means profiteers who are driving down prices.

Jiang Dongliu can judge this.

Musicians in this world usually have two ways to monetize their original works.

One is to register with APM and then list the song on the official library of the APM Alliance.

Later, if a professional singer participates in the competition to cover his work, he will be paid the corresponding copyright royalty.

The level of copyright royalties is directly related to APM's competition points.

1 point corresponds to 1 US dollar.

For example, on the final stage of the APM1000 Masters, which can earn 1,000 points, singers who want to cover other people's works have to pay $1,000 in copyright royalties, which is about 6,000 yuan in Huaxia yuan.

If the songwriter of this song is the same person, then this author can get nearly 5,000 Chinese yuan in royalties after tax.

This royalty is charged on a per-time basis, and the singer is paid for each cover of the song.

It seems that the income is very good, but in the actual competition, most singers only pay $1 for the copyright fee for their covers.

Because their competitions are often just about competing for 1 APM point.

For example, the online matchup battle open to singers with less than 10 points is the largest number of competitions that are held every day in the professional music world, and if you win this competition, you will only get 1 APM point.

In Huaxia, there are hundreds of thousands of professional singers with less than 10 points every week doing matchmaking duels for 1 point.

Most of these people will cover hit songs to enter the competition.

If a hit song is covered by these singers in large quantities, then the original author's income is considerable.

Sometimes, a hit song suitable for a competition can bring hundreds or even thousands of dollars to the original author in a day, making the original author make a lot of money.

However, the probability of this happening is extremely small, and it is similar to winning the lottery jackpot.

At present, the popular golden songs in the Chinese music scene are almost all sung by top singers in big clubs without exception.

The copyright of such works is in the club, and it is promoted by the strong promotion power of big clubs and top singers.

It is difficult for ordinary musicians without a club background to promote their original works to popularity.

Another way for musicians to quickly monetize their works is to sell their works to singer clubs, sign buyout or share contracts with singer clubs, and let the clubs promote them.

Before he knew that the system had a hidden clause of 15% of the content being automatically activated, Jiang Dongliu had such a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, he frantically carried other worldly golden songs and sold them in batches to big clubs to earn buyout fees, so that he had plenty of money.

But now that there is an auto-activation clause, he can't move songs in bulk.

Otherwise, it will definitely be insolvent.

Now he can only sell songs one by one, and make a small business with a budget.

After listening to Qian Dachao's suggestion, Jiang Dongliu tentatively asked about the club's song collection market: "Mr. Qian, how much do you think my song "Meet" will sell if it is sold to a suitable club?"

"It depends on whether you sign a one-time buyout agreement or a royalty agreement. In our Greater Chang'an area, this kind of traditional urban pop love song will not sell very well. If you want to sell locally, the sharing agreement is likely to be a zero contract. ”

"Zero contract?"

"It's you who give the song to the club for free and let the club promote it for you. In the contract, the club will promise to rank as many singers as possible to sing the song in which APM level competition. If their singers can sing this song to the fire, then your later income will be considerable, and there will be countless singers covering them to give you follow-up royalties. Of course, this follow-up royalty club will also take a share. As for how much you share, it depends on how you sign the contract. ”

"Then if you sign a one-time buyout contract, how much can this song sell?" With a debt of 10,000 yuan for eggs, Jiang Dongliu had to reduce art to the level of reality.

"According to my understanding of the market here, your song will definitely be sold for 1,000 yuan, and no matter how high it is, you have to try your luck, and you have to talk to clubs that pay more attention to urban pop style works. ”

"I see. ”

Jiang Dongliu's expression was slightly frustrated.

In his opinion, such a good work can only be sold for 1,000 yuan, which is too cheap!

If he is killed, he will not sell such a classic work at a low price.

Qian Dachao saw that Jiang Dongliu was very concerned about money, so he asked: "Lao Jiang, don't blame me for being troublesome, are you in trouble? If you are in a hurry to use the money, I can help you get some first." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Qian. ”

Seeing that Qian Dachao was so righteous, Jiang Dongliu felt a lot more steady, and he didn't bother to hide it, and said directly: "I have been really tight recently, and I need money urgently." But I can't take your money for nothing. I'm a bit thick-skinned, but I'm still very principled. You don't think that's going to work......"

Jiang Dongliu was about to talk about joining the club to get the signing fee, when he saw Tang Zhi with a solemn expression walking quickly towards them.

Completely ignoring Jiang Dongliu's existence, Tang Zhi fixed himself in front of Qian Dachao, interrupted their conversation, and told Qian Dachao seriously: "Something happened." ”

Qian Dachao had a premonition that Jiang Dongliu was going to talk about joining their club, so he hurriedly waved his hand at Tang Zhi: "Don't make trouble first, give this piano to Lao Li and let him put it away." ...... Lao Jiang, let's move on to ours. ”

As he spoke, he held up the guitar standing aside to Tang Zhi, and asked Tang Zhi to take the guitar to the equipment area and hand it to Li Baoguo, who had returned there to play the instrument.

Tang Zhi didn't pick up the guitar, and repeated in an accentuated tone: "Something happened to the club!"

Seeing that Tang Zhi's attitude was quite serious, Jiang Dongliu had a premonition that things were not simple, so he got up with interest and said to Qian Dachao: "I'll avoid it first." ”

Qian Dachao was worried that the opportunity to sign a contract would slip away from his hand, so he sat down for Jiang Dongliula, and said enthusiastically: "Don't, you just sit, it's okay." ”

After speaking, he glared at Tang Zhi and scolded her: "You didn't see me talking about it, you can talk about it later! If Lao Bai applies for a fee again, you will approve it for him, don't keep stuck with him." ”

"That's not it. ”

Tang Zhi glanced at Jiang Dongliu coldly, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was to let Jiang Dongliu avoid it.

Qian Dachao pulled Jiang Dongliu's arm and didn't let Jiang Dongliu go: "Lao Jiang, sit down, don't go anywhere, we haven't finished talking yet." ”

Saying that, he gave Tang Zhi a look, but asked Tang Zhi to avoid it first.

Tang Zhi was stunned and stood still.

Use an uncompromising attitude to put pressure on Qian Dachao.

Qian Dachao was helpless, and smacked Tang Zhi: "You are really delaying things, if there is anything, hurry up!"

Tang Zhi didn't speak, and glanced at Jiang Dongliu again.

Jiang Dongliu smiled bitterly, and picked up the hard hand of Qian Dachao who grabbed his forearm like an iron tong: "I'd better go out for a walk, and we'll talk when you're done." ”

"Lao Jiang, you sit steadily!"

Qian Dachao was so faceless by Tang Zhi that he was in a hurry, grabbed Jiang Dongliu's arm tightly, and drank Tang Zhi: "You!
