Chapter 627: Slump

Compared with the physical book, the song copyright fee can only be regarded as a small amount of money.

In the last life, Xu Qing actually subconsciously had a guess about the popularity of entertainment projects. First of all, I like those web novels the most, and secondly, I like those movies that are very good, then popular games, and then TV series adapted from IP masterpieces.

In terms of music, it is a special case. When Xu Qing wrote his book, he hoped for peace of mind, but he was not used to complete silence. So when he was a writer, Xu Qing wanted to listen to some music most of the time.

For Xu Qing, music is the main form of entertainment besides online novels.

In fact, Xu Qing is not the only one who thinks so, in the hearts of many people, music is so popular, it should indeed represent a large industrial chain.

Yes, actually. Here in Europe and the United States, the music industry is definitely quite hot. There are many people who have become international superstars through music.

But in China, the situation is different. In the final analysis, the popularity of the music industry in Europe and the United States is largely based on the relatively complete copyright protection system of others.

If you want to listen to new songs, you have to spend money. A huge amount of support has supported the entire industry. Musicians belong to the high-income group that ordinary people can't envy.

But in the case of Huaxia, copyright protection is like a joke. Someone with a relationship plagiarized a work on the Internet and immediately adapted the TV series. And then he slammed into the money as an author, without thinking about the consequences at all.

An apartment is disgraced and thrown all over the world, and when it should be hot, it will continue to be hot.

As for the music, it's actually even worse. The best songs, it won't be long before piracy is rampant on the Internet. Who's going to buy your albums?

You can't make money singing good songs, and people with some ability have begun to change careers. What is left behind is a situation of withering talent. As a result, what kind of deer boy and the like, casually cover an old song, and the singing is not necessarily very good, and the fans below have all kinds of support.

The Chinese music scene was once glorious, and many superstars who came out at that time left memories that will never fade to too many people in the Chinese-speaking circle.

But now, the development of the music scene has long fallen into a deformed path.

It's not just that copyright protection is not in place, it can't make money, and it can't attract talents. In addition, there are many problems in other aspects.

In contrast, after Omi's stars became popular, in fact, the backing singer team around him, such as bassists and guitarists, would also become popular.

But here in Huaxia, the audience will always only remember the lead singer or singer with the highest appearance.

Fei'er's orchestra used to be popular, but apart from Fei'er, who remembered who the two men next to her were? But in fact, they were "nominally" equal......

The Omi music scene also looks at the appearance, but after all, it doesn't just look at the appearance. Here in the Chinese music scene, it has been deformed to the point that only small milk dogs will be popular. Any other form of singer, as long as you're not a little milk dog, won't be liked by many people at all.

Taken together, it is no wonder that the Chinese music scene has fallen into a trough.

Xu Qing likes to listen to songs, but in fact, he only listens to old songs and Omi's more popular songs. It's not that Xu Qing is unwilling to support Chinese singers, JJ &jay, Xu Qing will always support them. It's really that since that era, among the so-called new singers, there are really few Chinese singers who can make Xu Qing like it from the bottom of his heart.

What Xue Shuai, Deng Beauty, all of them are cover songs, and they are not as good as the original. How do you let Xu Qing like it?

But if you don't delve into this, the vast majority of people like music very much. Subconsciously speculated, does the music industry with so many potential customers represent some very lucrative professions?

In reality, this is not the case.

The Chinese music scene, even if it has fallen into a low ebb with no prospects. To put it simply, the scale of the industrial chain is actually not small.

But as a result, first of all, those entertainment companies make money, and secondly, the singers themselves make money. When it was the songwriter's turn, there wasn't much money left. As for the guitarists who did the soundtrack, it was even worse. It is generally a case where you can only get a small amount of appearance fee.

Xu Qing's song is now almost at a price of more than 100,000 yuan, for ordinary people, what level of money-making ability is this? I am so envious, why does no one spend so much money to write a song for me? One song a day is an income of tens of millions a year, isn't it crazy to make money?

But, you, one song a day. It's just three high-quality songs a month, how many people can do it?

Truly top songwriters write songs based on inspiration, and it is not uncommon for them to only release one good song a month.

Xu Qing has the music library of the previous life here, if you want to say take out more, Xu Qing can do it. But are there so many people looking for Xu Qing to write songs?

And the actual situation is that if you are a singer, your level is only a line. If Xu Qing is not allowed to come up with superstar-level songs, even if Xu Qing has the support of the previous generation's music library, he may not be able to support it for too much time.

So it's okay to write songs and make some quick money. I really can't make much money if I have more.

Xu Qing didn't actually think about physical books at first, to put it simply. In the several directions extended by "Notes on Tomb Robbery", Xu Qing didn't think that physical books were very popular. Film and television drama adaptation here, Xu Qing has higher expectations.

But in the end, it was the situation here in the physical book of "Tomb Robbery Notes" that became Xu Qing's biggest money-saving weapon.

In the last life, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" sold 12 million copies in four years. By the time the dust settles in the fifth and sixth years, and there will not be too many sales in the future, the sales of the physical book of tomb robbery notes have already exceeded 20 million copies.

Not to mention in five or six years, how much profit does a four-year and four-year worth of 12 million books represent?

One volume refers to a complete set, and the whole volume of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has a total of eight books, and the price of a certain treasure is one hundred and fifty yuan. And the actual situation is that this is still the price of clearing the inventory after 17 years. If the genuine full set is used, the original price is more than 250.

The retail price of two hundred and fifty, the cost of paper and the like is only twenty or thirty yuan at most. Because the copyright of the work is in Xu Qing's hands, Xu Qing can ignore the cost of copyright, and a volume of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a profit of more than 200 yuan.
