The largest CBD business district in Kyoto City.

Xiao Jianxing sat in his office at the headquarters of Yiwangyun Music.

He is the director of the music copyright division of eNetCloud.

Half a month ago, Hiroshi Tyumei of M&G Music Production approached him to negotiate with him about the digital release of the first single after the comeback of the former famous female singer Maggie.

As one of the executives of Yiwangyun Music, Xiao Jianxing has been working in this industry for more than ten years, and has seen too many musicians and too many music works. What is a good music work and what kind of singer can be popular, he has his own unique understanding.

But when Tyumen first appeared in his office, he was very surprised.

First of all, he heard the news that Maggie was going to make a comeback, although the news that Maggie was going to make a comeback in the entertainment news for a long time, but there was no real official news released, and secondly, he thought that Maggie's singing style was obviously outdated in this era. Maggie's age, if she wants to make a comeback, I'm afraid it's difficult. But the reason why he finally had the patience to continue talking with Tyuminghao was entirely because of his appreciation of Tyuminghao himself.

He felt that this man had too much fascinating charm in him, and even if he was also a man, it was difficult to resist the temptation that came to him. His conversation, his temperament, his philosophy of how music works took him by surprise.

He finally believes that there are not all boring souls under the good-looking skin.

Because Tyumen Hao is very interesting.

And what shocked him even more was the cooperation conditions offered by Tyumenho.

"A dollar. ”

Qiu Minghao looked at him with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"A dollar?"

Xiao Jianxing also immediately sat up straight from his chair. The price really shocked him.

As we all know, in recent years, the country's protection of copyright has become increasingly strict, the copyright fee remains high, and the production cost of the song has risen. Therefore, many singers are now trying to release digital music online and pay for download, but even the average second- and third-tier singers have a price of about 10 yuan for a single to be paid to download on the Internet in this country, while some first-line singers are priced at about 15 yuan for paid downloads, because only in this way can they make money. But now Qiu Minghao's condition is that Maggie's first single of his comeback is priced at one yuan, how can he not be shocked?!

"Yes, one song for a dollar, pay to download. I know that such a price may have a certain impact on the revenue of the website platform. ”

Of course, Tyumen Hao knows that the higher the price of the singer's single, the greater the site's share will be. It's a win-win for both the singer and the platform.

"This is secondary, but with such a low price, can your company recover the production cost?"

Xiao Jianxing asked after regaining his composure, he was familiar with the music production industry, and he understood that not every music producer or company could afford such a risk.

"Don't worry about this Xiao, since I have decided to do this, I must have my own certainty. ”

Qiu Minghao smiled slightly. Of course he knows that the price of one dollar a song is simply the price of rotten cabbage, and under normal circumstances, there is no doubt that there will be a huge loss. But what he wants is not to make money, but to expand Maggie's fame, making money is the second problem, Maggie has been retired for five years, his fame has long since faded, and it is imperative to restore the fame of the day. Moreover, even if it is a dollar, he has nothing to lose, because although the lyrics and composition of this song, including the arrangement, etc., are a high-cost part in this world, but they don't, he agreed with Maggie that in the future, all her songs, his royalty part, from the income of her songs, do not have to be paid to him personally in advance, if they are not sold for money, they do not have to pay. Qiu Minghao did this, of course, because of his absolute confidence in his songs, and he also found Yiwangyun Music this time out of confidence.

"Well, you are indeed very bold, and I personally appreciate Mr. Qiu's style of doing things. However, with all due respect, although Maggie was indeed very popular back then, you know in the entertainment industry that feng shui takes turns, and stars disappear faster than stars. Maggie's comeback is risky, have you considered it?"

Xiao Jianxing still voiced his worries.

"Of course, but, Mr. Xiao, I can give you a preview of Maggie's first single from this comeback, and then you can decide whether to cooperate with us?"

Qiu Minghao's gaze was firm and calm, this time he came, and he didn't plan to return empty-handed.

"Yes, yes. ”

Xiao Jianxing pondered for a while and agreed to Qiu Minghao's suggestion.

Xiao Jianxing has an extremely expensive stereo in his office, he took the mobile USB flash drive handed over by Qiu Minghao, inserted the interface, and then pressed the PLAY button of the stereo.

As the piano accompaniment sounded through the door, Xiao Jianxing's face instantly began to become solemn.

One song is finished.

"Mr. Xiao, how do you feel?"

Qiu Minghao looked at Xiao Jianxing and asked with a smile.

"We can work together. ”

Xiao Jianxing's face was solemn.

"OK, for Mr. Xiao's warm cooperation, M&G also promised that the proportion of this song paid for download on your platform can be divided into 28. ”

Qiu Minghao handed over his hole cards, and he believed that the other party could not doubt and resist his sincerity.

"Twenty-eight?"

Xiao Jianxing thought he had misheard.

"Yes, M&G two, your company eight. ”

Tyumen Hao was sure again.

"Well, I can see Mr. Qiu's confidence in Maggie's song, and I can also feel your company's dedication and sincerity to music, and I am willing to cooperate with your company sincerely!"

Xiao Jianxing secretly took a deep breath, this is the first cooperation between M&G and Yiwangyun Music, but Xiao Jianxing is not a fool, he knows that once this cooperation is successful, then the music copyright negotiation of the follow-up M&G company will be much smoother, although they are now big and not worried about customers, but the paid download music platform is a world where content is king after all, and they need to continue to add good songs in order to maintain the continuous and efficient operation of the platform.

"Okay, then it's troublesome Mr. Xiao, in terms of early publicity, I hope your platform can give a lot of inclination and support!"

"Of course, please rest assured that we can sign a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with your company in the future!"

"I'll talk about this after this cooperation. ”

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Everything that day was seen in front of you, and today is the time to validate the decision of the day.

He got up early to attend Maggie's comeback single conference, and the enthusiastic response from the fans at the scene gave him a temporary reassurance, but whether these reactions can be converted into paid downloads for fans with real money is the final step in the perfect realization of all plans.

After the press conference, Xiao Jianxing returned to his office.

The computer in front of him shows the background database of the Yiwang cloud music paid download platform at the moment, the database is updated in real time, and the numbers have been jumping.

And Maggie's song is the target of his attention.

This time he won the online download copyright of this song at such a low price, he actually didn't have a special bottom in his heart, in the context of the market economy, any personal imagination does not count.

Only the data speaks for itself.

The paid download channel officially opened at half past ten.

It's close to twelve o'clock, an hour and a half has passed, and Maggie's single currently has 98,685 downloads.

If this number is placed on the head of a newcomer, it must be regarded as a gratifying or even amazing achievement, but for a female singer like Maggie whose goal is to make a comeback and return to the front line, this number is still up for debate.

Xiao Jianxing knew that today's lunch might have to be settled in the office.

And on the other side of the city, Tyumen Hao was also sitting in his office.

On the computer in front of him, he can also see the data information of "Vulnerable Woman" paid for download in real time.

It's just that his computer has five interfaces open at the same time.

In addition to Yiwang Cloud Music, there are also four other well-known digital music paid download platforms in China, and the background data interface is directly connected to his computer.

DIDI Music, Whale Music, Cool Wave Music and Singing Music, these four companies are currently the five giants of domestic paid music platforms, accounting for almost ninety percent of the market share of the entire digital music paid download.

Tyuminghao also tried his best that day, using his works and the great sincerity of cooperation to exchange for the strong support of the five major platforms. Of course, his concessions are also huge, as long as each platform has more than 100,000 downloads, their platform can basically maintain no loss, but for M&G companies, it is still far from profitable.

Still, he's willing to take a gamble.
