Chapter 42 Recommended Resources
Ning Mo, who devoted himself to codewords, did not know that the achievements of 'Angel Wings' in the music house had attracted the attention of the editors.
When Ning Mo tapped on the keyboard with both hands on the newly bought laptop, and quickly coded the words, the IQ account logged in the lower right corner suddenly heard a 'cough cough' prompt sound.
Ning Mo was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but move the mouse to the IQ account and turn on the flashing prompt message.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Ran, the editor of the Music House, I want to discuss something with you, can I add a friend?"
After seeing the content of the message, Ning Mo's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of doubt. What is the editor of this music house doing with his account? Is it because of the two songs Angel Wings and No Makeup?
After Ning Mo hesitated for a moment, he immediately agreed to the other party's friend application.
When I first registered an account, I was asked to fill in my contact information. Ning Mo didn't have a mobile phone, so he only filled in his IQ account.
"Hello, do you have anything to do with me?"
After adding Xiao Ran's friends, Ning Mo sent a message to ask.
The other party quickly replied, "Hello, are you the 'Ning Mo' who uploaded the songs 'Angel Wings' and 'No Makeup' on our Music House platform?"
Xiao Ran was obviously out of caution, so let's confirm it again.
Ning Mo replied, "Well, yes, it's me. ”
"That's right, we are very optimistic about the two songs you uploaded, and we are even more optimistic about your musical talent, so we want to sign the exclusive copyright of your work, I don't know what you think?"
Xiao Ran said immediately.
Ning Mo was slightly surprised when he saw the information, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "What can I get if I sign an exclusive copyright with you?"
This is a very real problem.
Once the exclusive copyright is signed with the music house, then the angel's wings and no makeup will inevitably be unable to continue to be sold on the Qianting.com and Haoge.com, and must be withdrawn.
Lost two channels, if there is no compensation for the benefits, who is willing to sign the exclusive copyright?
Xiao Ran was obviously prepared, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, as long as you sign a contract with us, we will give you the corresponding promotion." ”
"I've heard both of your songs, and they're both very good. As long as we have our strong recommendation, it will definitely be able to soar to the sky, and it is absolutely no problem to reach the million level of downloads. ”
Ning Mo didn't reply immediately, but was groaning.
Although Ning Mo was a little surprised that the music house found him and wanted to sign the exclusive copyright, but after thinking about it for a while, he was not surprised by it.
Whether it's 'Angel's Wings' or the plain makeup that has just been uploaded, they are all very good-sounding songs, and as long as they are promoted a little, the sales will definitely not be much worse.
Sooner or later, he will be targeted by the three major platforms, but the music house is relatively fast.
Xiao Ran on the other side obviously wanted to sign Ning Mo very much, so seeing that Ning Mo didn't reply for a long time, he couldn't help but send another message, "If you have any conditions yourself, you can also put it forward, and we can discuss it well." ”
After sending this message, Xiao Ran waited a little nervously.
Ning Mo finally replied at this time: "It's okay to sign a contract, but I only sign songs, not people." I don't like to be tied to freedom. ”
Thinking about many industries in the previous life, especially the signing contracts in the entertainment industry, many people have been ********, Ning Mo doesn't want to be bound by this kind of signing contract, if the other party doesn't agree, it's a big deal not to sign!
"Yes, but if you release a new song, we have priority. Xiao Ran replied immediately. Although Ning Mo's disagreement with the signing made her feel a little regretful, she was relieved when she thought about it.
After all, a powerful singer-songwriter like Ning Mo wants to sign someone without spending a lot of money.
And just with the current results of 'Angel Wings', as well as the plain makeup that has just been uploaded, it is obvious that Ning Mo will not let the music family spend money and spend a lot of money to rob people for the time being.
It is enough to give priority to Ning Mo's new songs, so that at least the music house occupies the initiative. If Ning Mo can really become popular, no matter what price his new song offers other competitors, Music House has the right to choose whether to follow up or not.
After seeing Xiao Ran's reply, Ning Mo only thought for a moment and replied, "In principle, I can agree." But specifically, I'll have to look at your contract first. ”
"Okay!Wait a minute, I'll send you the contract......," Xiao Ran replied immediately.
Soon Xiao Ran sent the contract over, and after Ning Mo accepted it, he replied: "I'll take a look first, and I'll reply to you later." ”
Xiao Ran hurriedly replied, "Okay! If there is anything unclear, you can ask me at any time." ”
"Hmm. ”
After ending the conversation with Xiao Ran, Ning Mo casually opened the contract document he had just received and studied it one by one.
It took more than an hour for Ning Mo to carefully read the five-page contract several times, especially the key clauses such as copyright authorization and sharing ratio.
After making sure that there were no other problems, Ning Mo quickly sent a message to Xiao Ran, "There are a few things in this contract that I want to change slightly. ”
"The first is the exclusive copyright authorization, I hope to only license the online copyright of the song, and I plan to keep the other copyrights myself. Another point is that I would like to be able to explicitly include the recommended resources in the contract. I require at least three guaranteed recommendations for each song, such as your music house's new song express, thematic recommendation, and daily song recommendation. ”
"I hope that my song can at least guarantee to be on these three recommended positions, and as for the percentage of the cut, I have no objection, and if you can agree to my terms, we can sign now. ”
After signing the contract, the share ratio is still 55%. Only those singers who already have extremely high popularity and popularity are eligible to ask for an increase in the share ratio, such as ****, or even Qisan!
Of course, Ning Mo knew that he was not qualified to talk about this with his current results. Therefore, Ning Mo's requirements are all recommended resources.
After Xiao Ran saw Ning Mo's message, he hurriedly replied: "You wait a minute, I have to report to the editor-in-chief." ”
"Good!"
In Xiao Ran's view, Ning Mo's requirements are actually okay, the main focus of the music house is originally on the Internet, and now that the Internet is popular, the expansion benefits of music copyright in other aspects are actually not very large.
Whether it is the radio station to pay for songs, or the CRBT business has been completely lonely and depressed, and there is basically not much market.
and commercial use such as film, television and advertising...... The copyright fees of these are actually not much, and compared to the huge number of paid online downloads of a fire song, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, there is no need to worry much about copyright in other aspects.
As for the copyright of the physical record, of course, there will be a lot of benefits, but in the case that the online version has been released first, the value of the physical copyright is also greatly reduced.
As for Ning Mo's request to explicitly recommend resources in the contract, it is not excessive. The three recommended positions proposed by Ning Mo can only be regarded as moderately effective among the many recommended positions in the music house.
What's more, as long as it is a contracted work, it is usually guaranteed at least one recommendation. And as long as the recommendation effect is acceptable, then the second recommendation is basically not a problem.
Ning Mo's request to ensure at least three recommendations is indeed not an excessive request.
Xiao Ran felt that the editor-in-chief should agree.
