108 The treatment of the top horns
After listening to Qin Muyun's explanation, Cheng Xiaolou realized that as early as three years ago, the Voice of Liyuan, the largest professional Peking Opera platform in China, noticed that entertainment methods such as movies, TV series, pop songs, online novels, online games, and live broadcasts were rapidly becoming popular, and the proportion of Peking Opera art was declining year by year.
According to Qin Muyun's survey statistics, the output value of emerging entertainment industries such as movies and online games has increased by more than five times in just three years.
The sales volume of digital copyrights of Peking Opera alone has shrunk by 7 points, with an average annual shrinkage of 2.3, and the most terrifying thing is that the proportion of this shrinkage is rising year by year, not counting the shrinkage of offline theaters and related industrial chains.
The reform and innovation of Peking Opera art was proposed many years ago, but every time it emerged, it was mercilessly strangled in the cradle by the conservative school adhering to the traditional concept.
In fact, many people are not ignorant of the benefits and necessity of innovation and development and keeping pace with the times, but doing so will inevitably affect their vital interests and even fundamentally endanger their position. So even if those people understand this truth, they will also jump out and oppose it frantically.
For example, Cheng Xiaolou's "Ode to Pear Blossoms" has set a new record on the newcomer list, steadily occupying the first place, and suddenly accounting for a lot of traffic.
Then the play that was originally ranked first on the newcomer list can only be ranked second after "Ode to Pear Blossom" quickly became popular, and the play that was originally ranked tenth will be squeezed out of the list.
It's impossible for theater fans to listen to two plays at the same time, and if you download and listen to "Ode to Pear Blossom" at the same time, you will definitely not listen to other plays......
A Peking song "Ode to Pear Blossoms", which is between Peking Opera and songs, has had such a big impact on Liyuan Xing, what if there are ten, a hundred, or a thousand such works?
Those who can only sing traditional Peking Opera since childhood, those playwrights who don't even understand what Peking Opera is about, and those musicians who can only play the drums and piano and don't understand pop music......
How did these people survive after the rise of the new art form of Peking Opera?
In fact, even if Qin Muyun doesn't say these truths, Cheng Xiaolou understands them, and he also understands those who are engaged in this art very well.
But the reality is always cruel, if they stay in a comfortable nest forever, once the nest for them falls from the tree one day, and there are no eggs under the nest?
Therefore, in Cheng Xiaolou's view, now while the storm is still in the early stage of the outbreak, re-equip Peking Opera, an art that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, with a pair of wings that are enough to travel in the nine skies.
"Xiaolou, I won't hide it from you, the reason why our platform decided to re-promote your work as soon as your "Ode to Pear Blossom", which combines elements of Peking Opera and pop songs, became popular, in addition to the quality of this work itself, the feedback from the market and fans is also a very important factor. In addition to these two points, the most fundamental reason is that our company values your talent and talent!"
Speaking of this, Qin Muyun suddenly sat up straight and looked at him with a straight face.
"My talent and talent, Brother Qin, what do you mean......"
Cheng Xiaolou's mind was in a hurry, and the words "Mianshan City" popped out of his mind.
"Yes, before I called you yesterday, our company collected all the text, audio, and video materials we could collect about you. Xiaolou, it is no exaggeration to say that you are the most talented, whimsical, and creative young man I have ever seen in Liyuan for so many years. Do you know, last night I listened to your singing segments of "Suolin Bag" and "Tears of the Barren Mountain" and "Tanyin Mountain" dozens of times!"
When Qin Muyun talked about the three plays of "Suolin Bag", "Tears of the Barren Mountain" and "Tanyin Mountain", his eyes flashed with a thick green light, and he couldn't wait to swallow him whole with bones.
After a pause, Qin Muyun suddenly leaned forward, stared at Cheng Xiaolou and asked, "Do you know what I want to say the most now?"
"Say...... What?"
Cheng Xiaolou shrank back without a trace, he was really frightened by the madness in Qin Muyun's eyes.
"I just want to say, Uncle Grass!"
"God is so unfair, I gave you an unparalleled talent for the creation of Peking Opera, and I also gave you a natural voice and a peerless appearance, sometimes I wonder if you are the illegitimate son of one of the above!"
Qin Muyun pointed to the ceiling half-jokingly and half-seriously, once upon a time he really had such an absurd idea in his mind.
"Uh...... Brother Qin, you are really joking, hehe. ”
Cheng Xiaolou's heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't know why he felt so weak.
Hearing Qin Muyun say this, even he himself wondered if he really had something to do with one of the above, otherwise how could he have traveled from the earth in his previous life to this magical world, and was still possessed by such a perfect boy for the art of Peking Opera.
"Hahahaha, don't be so nervous, I'm just kidding you, I'm a real atheist, so I don't believe in those gods and ghosts. But seriously, Xiaolou, your talent and talent in Peking Opera are indeed rare in the world, and I can't envy them. ”
Seeing that Cheng Xiaolou and Pan Yu's faces couldn't help but change slightly, Qin Muyun thought that these two young and somewhat excessive children were frightened by their ghostly words, so they hurriedly coughed twice and pulled the topic back.
"Ahem...... If you're not careful, we'll get down to business. Xiaolou, I and several bigwigs in the company are very optimistic about you, so I hope to establish a very close cooperative relationship with you. The first step of cooperation is to hope that you can hand over the digital copyright of all works to our company to operate, you can rest assured, our company will definitely use all the resources available to promote your works, and we will only take 30% of the commission. ”
Whether it is the voice of Liyuan or other platforms, for the first-line people below the big horns, it has always been half of the income from digital copyright sales.
Even Kong Lifu, a quasi-first-line big-horn who was named one of the top ten students in Dragon City by the media, will be siphoned off fifty percent of his digital copyright income.
The big horns of the first line are drawn forty percent, and the top big horns that surpass the first line are drawn thirty percent.
In other words, in terms of the percentage alone, Qin Muyun's company completely treats Cheng Xiaolou as a top big horn beyond the first line.
Hearing this kind of extremely generous method of raking, Rao Yicheng Xiaolou's calm mind couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
He never thought that Qin Muyun and the big guys behind him would attach such importance to him.
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
"Isn't it ......"
Cheng Xiaolou raised his eyebrows, suddenly thought of something in his mind, and suddenly raised his head to look at Qin Muyun.
