Chapter 495: Ma Yuankang

Atletico Madrid has a lot of nicknames, and after the CJ ended at the beginning of the month, he was put on his head with two new ones, namely "Ma Yuankang" and "Oil Boss", and some people combined these two nicknames into one and called him "Boss Kang".

The former nickname means that Boss Ma is "domestic Akimoto Kang", and the latter emphasizes the image of Bee Game as a "gutter oil refinery", Bee Game is an "oil residue factory", and Atletico Ma, as the founder and major shareholder, is naturally "Boss Kang".

Yasu Akimoto, a famous producer in the island country, is a figure that can be recorded in the history of music and entertainment idols, because he single-handedly created the world's largest idol group AKB48, and through this group, he sent himself to the throne of "100 million single musicians", which is the number one lyricist in the history of the island country, and the cumulative sales of singles written by him have exceeded 100 million.

The island nation has the world's largest singles market, users accept and love singles CDs, and music companies are happy to sell singles, after all, it is more profitable to sell them separately.

AKB48 started with 48 members, but now it has swelled to more than 130 (full members), which is the largest in history without the need for Guinness or Guinness.

In addition to the world's largest group, Hiaki also founded 8 sister groups and formed AKB48G, which has nearly 500 official members.

Since the group began to become popular on a large scale in 2010, the island country's most famous record sales chart, the O Day Con Chart, began to be slaughtered by AKB, not only for four consecutive years, but also for four consecutive years, most of the other rankings were also stolen by the 48G girls.

This is the way things are in the world, as many people love you, as many people hate you, AKB's popular records have sold well, and the group's general election has even attracted more attention than the prime minister's election, which will naturally lead to the eyes of other singers and their fans, and it is appropriate to be envious and jealous.

Then I don't know who it is, in response to AKB's sales results, he put forward the concept of "singer per capita sales", accusing AKB's so-called sales champions of dozens or hundreds of people, and the results of this giant group are unfair to single singers and regular multi-person groups......

Of course, this is just a joke, in fact, after a few years, whether it is the island country record industry or fans, everyone has actually become accustomed to this giant group model, other record companies have begun to create multi-person groups of more than ten people, and fans have also expressed emotional stability.

And Atletico Madrid is said to be "domestic Akimoto Yasu", which naturally has some relationship with music, but it is not limited to the field of music.

Boss Ma does have a large number of female idol groups, but this group with the label of "two-dimensional female idol" is essentially an official dancing girl group belonging to 2tc, and its status is more like the contracted anchors of those live broadcast sites, receiving wages from 2 stations to do live broadcasts and get a share, and they can't officially release records and are not considered real singer groups.

After all, the life of singers has become more and more difficult these years, and even a group of veteran singers have to struggle to participate in various reality shows. Even AKB's big-selling records, many of them rely on giveaways to attract users to buy, and many true love fans often buy multiple single records at the same time in order to get handshake tickets and vote for the general election.

Of course, it is the "record industry" that is dying, or about to die, but music is not.

Not only did traditional music CD sales gradually collapse, but even digital music sales began to decline, with Apple's global music sales falling by 3% for the first time last year, and sales falling by more than 10% in the first half of this year. Fortunately, the quick-witted Apple has long anticipated this day, and their line of music players iPod has not been updated for two years.

It's not that people suddenly don't like music, but with the development of network bandwidth, the traditional model of selling, downloading and playing according to singles and albums has gradually declined, and now the popular music streaming is represented by "playlists" and "automatic recommendations".

More and more people are accustomed to opening a variety of "music box" software, playing online streaming music as background music when reading books and playing games, and the attention has become lower and lower. It can be said that with the popularity of the music streaming model, the singer's name has become more and more meaningless and valuable for ordinary people other than true love fans, as long as it is pleasant and good, who cares who sings it?

In the era of streaming media, the value of the singer's brand has been greatly reduced, and the beautiful era of high-selling singers and the record companies behind them ingesting eighty percent of the profits of the entire industry is gone, which is why Song Ke, the owner of the famous domestic record company Mai Tian, announced twice in 2011 that "the record is dead, and he will not sign artists or release albums in the future".

Of course, it's only those "powerful factions" who are bitter, AKB, EXO, and TF boys who sell cute, handsome, and face-selling fans can still live well to the singer group, even if the song can't be sold, but concert tickets, authorized figures, and signed peripherals can still sell a lot.

Speaking of which, as an Internet giant, Bee is naturally not lagging behind, and has made its own contribution to the strangulation record industry together, one is the sixth in the country, the main intelligent recommendation of the streaming media application "Huixin Music Box", and the other is the foolish tuning and voice changing software "Soul Singer".

Although the former has a world-class scene matching algorithm and intelligent recommendation algorithm, the actual scale is not large because of the selection of the music library, and it is said to be the sixth in the country, but the number of active users is much less than the top ones.

Although the latter has fewer users, its destructive power to the music industry is even greater, because this software, nicknamed "The Cover of the Three Artifacts of the Anchor", is like Jin Kela, which has greatly increased the output of folk grassroots music. The effect of software intelligent tuning and voice change is naturally not as good as that of professionals, but it is better than nothing, after software modification and adjustment, the melodiousness of the song will obviously rise to a level, although these songs are still garbage in professionals and audiophiles, "not worthy of singing", but they can already enter the ears of ordinary people.

Obviously, the two apps from Bee complement each other, with the latter helping folk music lovers make their own original or cover songs, which are then recommended to users on the former's platform. It is also for this reason that Bee is relatively passive in the procurement of music copyrights, preferring to pay cover royalties for folk singers rather than competing with other giants for exclusive copyrights. Moreover, even if the giants buy the right to use the work, it is only the music company that benefits as the owner, and it has little to do with the singer itself.

Of course, the fact that the cover is very cheap is also an important reason, and at most you only need to pay 200 yuan to the music writer.

In fact, the actual standard is to pay 3.5 percent of the total wholesale price of the sound recordings, and then there is a reserve price of 200 yuan.

According to Article 22, Paragraph 9 of the new copyright, performing a published work to the public without remuneration is fair use without payment or permission.

However, if the anchor singer receives the reward income, then according to the regulations, the original author should be divided, but the reality is that this share of paid performance income is a confused account. The reason why Wang Banbi and Xu Gang fell out at the beginning was because after the latter became popular, he made money by performing the "famous song" "In the Spring" many times, but did not give Wang Banbi any money. The former fought back angrily and exercised his rights as a copyright owner to prohibit the latter from performing his songs in public.

Thanks to the Puss Pig Teammates Music Writers' Association, Bee has accumulated its own large library of cover songs, although the cost is much higher than the so-called "third-party music library" that is completely free of charge like Kugou, but it is still a lot cheaper than directly negotiating with a music company to buy it.

In fact, this kind of behavior is very common, many Hong Kong Island love songs in the 80s are covers of Japanese music, and many of the electronic music and dance music in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China since the new century come from Korean wave covers. In the Internet era, it has become more convenient to pick up original songs and record them, and there are more such covers, but no one organizes covers on such a large scale as Atletico Madrid.

Of course, the bee did this, at first it was just for the convenience of users who love two-dimensional music, which is why the two software will use the names of "Huixin Music Box" and "Soul Singer", and later saw the rapid development of foreign music streaming business, which is why I have the will to make it bigger and stronger.

It's just that bees are not the only Internet companies that "open their eyes to foreign countries and copy only those who succeed", so all kinds of giants have joined in, on the one hand, they have launched their own music streaming business, on the other hand, they are crazy to buy the right to play songs, and in order to suppress their opponents, they are all signing exclusive agreements, and then holding high the banner of the law to shout and kill competitors.

With the financial resources of bees, they are not afraid of copyright wars at all, but the idea of picking the door and detouring has once again affected them, so they simply chose to hug the thighs of the music association and play a large-scale cover.

As for whether to give half a pack of spicy strips to the original songwriter in the future, that is all in the future.

Speaking of which, the biggest reason why Atletico Madrid is called "Ma Yuankang" is that Bee Games put a satellite on CJ at the beginning of the month, and they announced in a high-profile manner that the peak number of online users of their "Infinite Plan OL" exceeded 3 million, which immediately stunned countless friends.

Oh my God, even if it was the hottest time of the WOW national service, it was only one million online at the same time, at the beginning of the year, the goose factory just announced that its agent of the Korean masterpiece "Sword Spirit" national service broke the peak of 2 million online, creating history, a group of online media and netizens are still hotly discussed, the bee family suddenly said silently, "What is 2 million, we have already 3 million", do you want to be so shocked?

But when interested netizens searched for "unlimited plan", they immediately burst into laughter.

In fact, in recent years, traditional online games represented by M touch RPG are experiencing a rapid decline, even WOW, which is the king of M touch, is no exception, and the number of simultaneous online in the quarterly financial report has dropped significantly.

And the reason why Sword and Spirit was able to get 2 million peak online numbers at the beginning of the year, firstly, this game is a popular free game, no need to buy a point card monthly card CDK, and secondly, this beautiful picture and handsome and cute character design has been promoted for a long time before the masterpiece of Korean games, and it has long occupied the top spot in the new game expectation list.

And the peak of 3 million bees is online, but it is a bit tricky.

Just by looking at the English name of "Unlimited Plan", the name IWPOL, you can see that it is inextricably linked to the IWP Infinite World Plan before Bee Tour. And this online game is indeed the second phase of the IWP project.

At the beginning, Bee acquired a bunch of domestic online games, reopened them after bee-turning, and opened the "cross-game and cross-server" function between each other to create a time-traveling gameplay.

But this experiment failed in the end, because the shortcomings of domestic online games are far from being solved by changing the engine, enhancing the image quality, and upgrading the server, and they have bigger problems in the core gameplay, prop system, numerical control, and goal drive.

And "Infinite Plan" is the product of the bee's change of thinking, no longer directly interconnected with existing games, but rebuilt the "main god world" as the skeleton, and then carefully planned the numerical bottom layer, and further transformed the original game and then connected it, of course, by the way, it can also justifiably open a new server.

So the Infinite Plan is nominally a game, but in fact, it contains 1 main god world and 46 sub-worlds, each of which can be played as a separate game. So the number of people online from 3 million is only more than 60,000 people in each sub-world, which is not much at all!

A netizen named I don't know Jingjing went to see it, and sent such a scarf: "I went to see it, I said why 3 million online without making a sound, and the groove turned out to be the 47-in-one version of the online game!

By the time Atletico Madrid got the news, the scarf had already had tens of thousands of hits and nearly a thousand comments, and he forwarded and commented: "The target is searching, welcome to recommend!"

His nickname of the oil boss was also produced because of this scarf, and after Atletico Madrid replied, the comment area was fried, and hundreds of people replied neatly to the type, "XXOL is so rubbish, Boss Ma, you quickly collect it and recycle it!"

Because of Atletico Madrid's acquisition and acquisition, there were once a lot of online games on the market, but the wildfires were inexhaustible, the spring breeze blew and reborn, and many money cheating games came out. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
