361. Copyright income (3/5)
After returning to Shengjing's home and staying for a while, Li Xiang immediately drove to the studio, which had already started on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and Wang Yinzhen and Gu Qijing were already in place.
After getting out of the elevator and being blown by the cold wind, Li Xiang couldn't help but shiver, immediately turned back, returned home, put on a coat, put on a scarf, and felt warm before driving to the studio.
The car drove into the university town and drove through the camphor tree-lined avenue. The school hadn't opened yet, and it was still very quiet, with snow remaining on the road. There was a heavy snowfall last night that didn't stop until this morning.
"Happy New Year~"
"Hello and Happy New Year. ”
Walking into the studio, Li Xiang kept greeting everyone, and everyone responded to him happily.
"Congratulations to my brother for being shortlisted for the music festival~"
"Brother is so good~"
"Come on, brother!"
"You are the best~"
......
Li wanted to give them New Year's greetings, and they congratulated Li Xiang on being shortlisted for the Yuefu Music Festival.
"Thank you all for working together. ”
Lee wanted to go back to his office on the third floor.
As soon as he entered with his front foot, Gu Qijing followed with his back foot. Miss Xiaojing seems to have a good Spring Festival, her face is much ruddy, her face is a lot rounder, and her eyebrows are beaming.
As soon as the two exchanged pleasantries, Wang Yinzhen also came.
"Let's sit together. Li Xiang put down the laptop he had brought with him, rested it on the computer shelf of his desk, and came to the sofa area to sit down.
"You sit down first, and I'll make tea. ”
Gu Qijing didn't listen to Li Xiang's words and really sat down, she was very clear about her positioning, she was Li Xiang's assistant, Wang Yinzhen was Li Xiang's agent and the general person in charge of the studio, although they did not have a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates, but she consciously put herself under Wang Yinzhen, so even if she came to report her work first, she did not fight at all, and gave the opportunity to Wang Yinzhen later.
Wang Yinzhen was very affectionate, and she understood Gu Qijing's actions very clearly, and said to her in a friendly way that she was troublesome to Secretary Gu.
"The Huaxia Music Copyright Association sent a bill yesterday and asked us to confirm. Wang Yinzhen said, "It's the copyright income of your song last year." ”
When he opened his mouth to talk about income, it was really auspicious, Li Xiang was in a good mood, because Shengjing's little emotion was too cold and unpleasant disappeared. Look, Wang Yinzhen is really good at being a person, and there are so many things to report, she just found the coolest one to report first, arrange the boss's mood, and then talk about other troubles.
Li Xiang has launched 19 original songs so far, of which, except for "Story", which he sang with Su Rui and Shishu, he asked someone else to write, and the remaining 18 are his own originals.
Among these 18 songs, there are 15 songs included in last year's "Paper Short Love", "Sunshine is Always After the Wind and Rain", "Snail", "Sunny Day", "Starry Sunny", "Garden Fair", "Don't Worry", "I Love Your Motherland", "Middle School Days", "Open the Door of the World", "Childhood", "Wind or Rain", "Years Like Water", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", "Midsummer Light Year" and other 15 songs.
Among these 15 songs, "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was only sung once at the party of the Shengjing Military Region, and no sound source was recorded after that, and this song cannot be found on any website, so naturally it will not bring income.
In addition to these 15 songs, 3 songs were only released this year, namely "Snacks Can't Be Eaten", "New Soul", and "Wonderful Ability Song" auctioned to Fang Qianru.
The copyright income calculated by the Huaxia Music Copyright Association this time is from the second half of last year, and this year's copyright income will not be counted and settled until the middle of the year.
Music copyright income is settled semi-annually, and the Huaxia Music Copyright Association is responsible for supervision, statistics, accounting, collection, and settlement. Of course, the premise is that the copyright owner joins the association, authorizes it, and pays a service fee.
Li Xiang began to emerge in the music scene last summer, so he did not have any income in the first half of the year, and all of it was concentrated in the second half of the year.
These 18 songs can all bring in income, and the sources of income are varied. For example, clicking, audition, and downloading on the audio source website can all bring income, and share with the website, as well as KTV licensing income, radio and television broadcasting, commercial activities and so on......
The more popular the song, the higher the income.
Li Xiang's 18 songs have different income sharing. Songs written and sung entirely by him, and the copyright income is exclusive to him.
For example, "Story", this song was written by Chen Peizhong, and he has to share half of the copyright income, and the other half is not Li Xiang's alone, Su Rui and Hour have a share, and half of this half is Wu Xuefei's, because she bought this song, Li Xiang and others are just singers, so in the calculation, Li Xiang's income from this song is: one-third of half of the half.
"Song of Wonderful Ability" is similar to "Story", except that Chen Peizhong has been replaced by Li Xiang himself. Although this song was sold to Fang Qianru, Li Xiang can still get half of the copyright income in the future, which is continuous, as long as there are still people listening to this song. Li wanted to take half of it, and the remaining half was the buyer Fang Qianru.
It's the same with "Midsummer Light Year", this song was written by Li Xiang to Su Rui and other groups, and the copyright is in his hands, so he can still get half of the income.
Wang Yinzhen said that the income of the Huaxia Music Copyright Association is more precise, the copyright income of 14 songs such as "Paper Short Love" last year.
Wang Yinzhen saw that Li Xiang was moved, and wanted him to guess which song had the highest income, but he was the boss, so it would seem too casual, and the relationship would be closer in the future.
"It's a statistical bill. Wang Yinzhen directly handed over the bill sent by the Music Association to Li Xiang, "The highest single income is "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain". ”
"Sunshine is always after the wind and rain" is Li Xiang's first song to reach the top of the Yuefu TOP100 list, thanks to this song is catchy, simple and easy to sing, and especially inspirational and positive energy, not only good, but also very popular, so the highest income is completely understandable.
Li Xiang heard that before looking at the bill, he guessed that the second highest income was likely to be "Rain or Shine", because this song is very similar to "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain", inspirational, positive energy, catchy melody, simple and easy to sing.
However, he guessed wrong, and saw that the second place was "I Love Your Motherland"!
Wang Yinzhen seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Is it "I Love Your Motherland"? I was also surprised when I saw it, but it is not difficult to understand when I think about the singing of this song. ”
The popularity of the song "I Love Your Motherland" among fans should be the weakest among the 14 songs, but it can't stand the publicity of this song. As a pop song that promotes patriotic feelings, the number is small, and there are even fewer that can be so beautiful, and those few songs are all regarded as classic red songs, and "I Love Your Motherland" is the latest one.
Li wanted to see how much income the song had brought him in less than half a year. This number is in 10,000 units, and there is a string of numbers after the decimal point, Li Xiang only looked at it approximately, 3.1 million! Rao was mentally prepared, or was shocked by the stimulated spirit.
Looking up, "Sunshine is Always After the Wind and Rain" has a higher income than "I Love Your Motherland", with 3.85 million!
Looking all the way down, the third place "Wind or Rain" is 3.77 million.
The fourth place "Sunny Day" is 3.3 million.
The fifth place "Xingqing" is 2.8 million.
......
The least is "Story", only 300,000.
Accustomed to not less than 2 million, it suddenly dropped to double digits, which is still a decimal number, Li Xiang didn't react for a while, looked at it again and again, yes, it's 300,000! This is too little.
At this time, Wang Yinzhen spoke.
"The 300,000 yuan of "Story" is the part that is distributed to you, not the entire copyright income. ”
Li Xiang suddenly, no wonder.
His eyes quickly fell on the total, 33.32 million!
Here's how much these 14 songs earned him last year!
Below this number, there is a line of remarks that reads, "The copyright income brought by the Lefu Audio Source website is not counted".
Li Xiang remembered that the Yuefu sound source website had been settled in January this year, and about 10 million copyright income was distributed to Li Xiang at that time!
So if you add this, the income brought to him by these 14 songs is 43.32 million!
Although these incomes will continue to decrease over time, no matter how much they are reduced, they are enough to support Xiao Li's family for a lifetime! In the past, I only heard that some musicians can eat a song for a lifetime, and it turned out to be true.
