Back in Jiangcheng, it was another intense shooting, and as time went by, there were still many things waiting for him.

"People in Embarrassment" is about to be released, but the promotion work has not been launched, Murong Yanliang walks around in front of Wang Xiaobai every day, brushing his sense of existence, Wang Xiaobai Quan didn't see it.

The previous "People in Embarrassment" did not have any publicity, and won nearly 40 million at the box office, which shows that although this film has various dissatisfaction slots, it still has great potential.

Wang Xiaobai doesn't believe that "People in Embarrassment" will be worse than the original time and space.

The sea of stars does not have a complete distribution channel, so the distribution of "People in Embarrassment" is all handed over to Yunhai Entertainment. Although Yunhai Entertainment did not do any publicity, the amount of film scheduling expected to be given at the time of release was quite good, about 10%-12% of the film schedule.

Other theaters, with the face of Yunhai Entertainment and Wang Xiaobai's appeal, also gave no less than 5% of the film schedule. If the results are good, other theaters are not stupid, and they will increase the number of films.

With the distribution of Yunhai Entertainment, it means that he doesn't need to pay for it himself, and he doesn't have to spend money to make billboards, which greatly saves a lot of money, and Wang Xiaobai is very satisfied.

On December 15th, an ordinary Sunday, Wang Xiaobai's first solo album has been recorded.

Now that the record industry is in a recession, no one knows how many copies his first album can sell, so Murong Bing directly suggested that he not make records on a large scale, but just got 20,000 collector's editions, each priced at 228 yuan. Originally, Murong Bing suggested that he get some signed collector's edition records, but this product directly refused.

A hardcover version of the signed version actually asks for 1288, isn't this nonsense?

As far as I, Wang Xiaobai, these three dogs crawl words, and I don't even know myself when I write them, so I dare to ask for more than 1,000 yuan?

Are you crazy am I crazy?

To be a human being, we must speak of conscience.

Can this kind of black money be made?

Due to the small number of 20,000 collector's edition records, Wang Xiaobai did not even look for major distributors across the country, and was ready to sell them directly online. This is also for the sake of those unlucky fans, there are no middlemen to make the difference.

Isn't it fragrant to have the money to buy two more boxes of instant noodles?

The night before the album was about to be released, Wang Xiaobai met Yang Wentao, the director of the copyright department of the largest music software on the market, Buckle Music, in the company.

Yang Wentao is a man in his forties, with hair so dense that Yu Shan is still very envious, a big belly, a gentle smile always on his face, and a pair of fleshy hands tightly hold Wang Xiaobai's hand: "Xiaobai, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." I've admired you for a long time. ”

Director Yang was polite. ”

Wang Xiaobai said, and then asked Yang Wentao to sit down.

The two sat down and talked a lot of scenes, Yang Wentao began a businesslike attitude and said: "Xiaobai, at present, for music websites, there are two modes of cooperation between singers and us. The first is the network-wide authorization model, and the second is exclusive authorization. ”

"I don't have to guess that I know that the copyright fee for exclusive authorization must be higher, and the more resources you can enjoy, right?" Wang Xiaobai said directly.

Although he didn't know anything about these things, he knew which one would get more money when he heard the names of the two.

Of course, as for which is better or worse, it is not clear.

"Yes. Yang Wentao nodded.

"Can you elaborate on the difference?"

"Of course you can, I won't say it's so complicated, just a brief introduction. Yang Wentao organized the language and said: "At present, for major music software platforms, they are willing to sign some exclusive authorized works, and if you are willing to do so, you can understand it." Compared with the whole network authorization, in addition to the annual authorization fee of 500,000 yuan, the exclusive license is only for members to download, and non-member users can only listen to it online. ”

"For the licensor, each member downloads a fee of 0.1 yuan. These are all benefits that cannot be enjoyed by authorized works on the whole network. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Xiaobai and continued: "Xiaobai, which cooperation model do you prefer?"

Wang Xiaobai said: "Then it depends on whether Mr. Yang wants to listen to my truth or lie." ”

"True, of course. Yang Wentao said.

"If it's true, then I'd like to say ......" he paused, a smile on his face, but his tone was firm: "I won't choose either way." ”

"That's ......" Yang Wentao was anxious.

Wang Xiaobai's songs are very popular on the Internet, but he has never authorized a music website. The songs posted on major music websites are all posted by the so-called "netizens" themselves, so the sound quality is very poor, which affects the enjoyment of the ears.

But because there is no genuine authorization on the Internet, everyone can endure it.

And once there is a website that can be genuinely licensed, then this balance will be broken at once, so as the current leader of music software, Yang Wentao is determined to win Wang Xiaobai's music copyright.

"Mr. Yang, listen to me. Wang Xiaobai signaled to the other party to be calm, and then continued: "Has Mr. Yang ever thought about let's change the way of cooperation?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

Yang Wentao sat patiently, but he was actually anxious.

Wang Xiaobai said: "Then I will tell you some of my immature ideas." If there's something wrong, bear with me. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Yang, have you ever thought about setting my works as exclusive to VIP users. ”

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, it is my songs, only VIP users can listen to them and download them, while those non-VIP users can only listen to the first 30-45 seconds of each song online. Wang Xiaobai said slowly, and Yang Wentao was already shocked.

Does this model really work?

Now some songs are only downloaded by VIP users, which has made many people dissatisfied, and if this model comes out again, I am afraid that the buckle concert will become the target of public criticism.

He hesitated.

Wang Xiaobai was not worried at all, and even if Yang Wentao refused, he would not change his mind. As the third most downloaded singer in the world, the pride of Chinese musicians around the world, this approach is not too much at all.

In this world without him, he must correct his name and let everyone know what he said - Mandarin style is the most dick!

It's not about profits, it's just a tribute.

After a pause, he continued, "I am willing to exclusively license the songs to your website, including all the songs that will be sung by me in the future. As for the fees, I don't want your annual royalties, I want two points.

First, if a non-member is willing to recharge after the audition, I will get 30% of the total cost spent by this member during the membership recharge. For example, if a member opens an annual membership and the annual membership fee is 100 yuan, then I want 30 yuan of the 100 yuan. And so on;

Second, the download fee for each song has increased from 0.1 yuan to 0.3 yuan, which is three times that of all singers. ”

Don't ask me why I'm such a dick, because IMHO, looking at the entire entertainment industry, only these songs deserve this treatment. ”

Yang Wentao opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Xiaobai.

He continued: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I'm not done yet. ”

Yang Wentao smiled bitterly and motioned for him to continue.

Wang Xiaobai said: "Let's sign a gambling agreement." ”
