Volume 2 Chapter 100 Before I fell asleep, someone gave me a pillow
Just as Zhuang Bifan wanted to say Zhu Tao, there were approaching footsteps behind him, and he could only turn back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he saw a handsome old man in his fifties walking over with a smile.
The handsome old man smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuang asked me to find it!"
Zhuang Bifan stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, but he didn't know who it was: "Hello!"
Sima Yun took his arm and whispered, "This is King Ningjun." ”
This is a knighthood that can only be awarded to people in the royal family. In the imperial family, except for the emperor and the crown prince, everyone else has to obtain the permission of the parliament. The royal family can submit a person's knighthood to the parliament, but if there is no reasonable reason, such as contribution to the empire, it is difficult for even the emperor's own children to get the title, and they can best be called princes and princesses to the outside world, but that is only an identity, and there are no political privileges in law.
And the application for this title must be made after the age of twenty-five. On the contrary, the crown prince, as long as the royal family passes it and then submits it to the parliament, the parliament will basically not oppose it. If against this matter, the emperor could force it through, and even dissolve the parliament.
Members of the royal family who receive the title cannot inherit the title, and their heirs can only automatically receive one baron. But the heirs who came later, not even the baron.
On the contrary, some kings with different surnames can be inherited, as long as they do not violate the laws of the empire or have no heirs in the direct blood line, the title will not change.
He probably knew that there was now only one prince in the royal family, six county kings, and more than a dozen various titles. And the Ming family is not counting the side branches, but there are hundreds of people.
It can be seen that to be recognized by the parliament that has always wanted to limit the royal family, the old handsome man is definitely not a simple character. It's just that Zhuang Bifan muttered in his heart, what is he looking for himself? Is he going to interfere in his cooperation with Ming Ziluo? He thought in his heart, but his face remained unchanged and said, "Hello, King Jun!"
"Mr. Zhuang really deserves the name of genius. I have always refused to accept old age before, and now that I see you, I can't admit that I am old. ”
Although the prince is a very noble title, the Chinese Empire retained imperial power, but also liberated the people's rights. As long as the commoners did not insult the emperor when they saw him, even if they turned a blind eye, there would be no police to arrest him.
Zhuang Bifan didn't have any restraints because of the other party's identity, and said with a smile: "The king of the county can say that he is old." I'm nervous to see you coming. I'm worried that my girlfriend is attracted to you. ”
"Haha. King Ning Jun said with a smile. "If I'm twenty years younger, I'll have to compete with you for anything. Miss Sima is a rare good girl, and ten men will be tempted. He smiled at Sima Yun as he spoke.
Sima Yun performed a traditional ladies ceremony: "The king of the county has won the award." ”
The three of them, King Ning Jun and Zhuang Bifan, were polite before turning to the topic and saying to Zhu Tao: "Mr. Zhu must also know that the Music Association has contacted Mr. Zhuang. ”
Zhu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, the king of the county." Indeed, there was a vice chairman Zheng Cheng who personally came to Ruiyun Network to find Bifan, and later called many times. But I couldn't contact Bifan for a while. ”
Zhuang Bifan was puzzled in his heart, and asked, "What is the county king?"
"I am the chairman of the Chinese Cultural Association. The Music Association is a branch of the Cultural Association. I know they seem to be looking for you, so since I met Mr. Zhuang, I'll come over and help them mention it. King Ning said with a smile.
"The king of the county, please speak. ”
King Ning Jun groaned for a moment, and lowered his voice a little: "That's the case." We all know that Mr. Zhuang is the only recognized trade representative on Aurora Island in terms of music. Now the development of the music industry has encountered some bottlenecks. Due to the fierce competition in singing and songwriting income, there have been some unhealthy trends. There have also been distortions in the development of the industry. This makes some singers who are not very outstanding in appearance but have good musical talent either unable to get ahead or seek to develop in other aspects, such as film and television. We noticed that the singers in the records that Mr. Zhuang sent to Aurora Island this time paid more attention to the singer's skills. ”
Zhuang Bifan nodded as he listened. The market is so big, but there are so many people who want to be stars, so many people across the country, and I don't know how many are beautiful, as long as these people don't have a broken voice, they will be singers after training. It doesn't matter if you sing well or not, you eat with your face anyway.
It's just these people who squeeze aside those old singers who really have singing skills.
But that is also the law of the market, although Zhuang Bifan does not approve of this development model, he has no intention of reversing anything.
However, King Ning Jun proposed these to him, wanting to send the records of these skilled singers to Aurora Island through him and exchange some things back.
Sure enough, King Ning continued: "We hope to ask Mr. Zhuang to help send the records of these excellent singers to Aurora Island, and of course we will not let Mr. Zhuang suffer." In the name of the Cultural Association, we can help Mr. Zhuang apply for tax exemption for all records exported to Aurora Island. In addition, we can cooperate in a share-sharing manner. ”
Of course, Zhuang Bifan will not refuse. When he came back this time, he originally wanted to find some singers and creators to cooperate and make more songs. Now that King Ning Jun is proposing this, it can be regarded as a sleepy pillow.
He didn't appear embarrassed either, he wanted more human creativity and singing than money. But you can't stop making money at all, because that would raise suspicions. He smiled and said, "King Jun, since you say so, I will not politely mention the conditions. Each Blu-ray DVD record must have at least 12 songs, and I only pay 30 yuan to buy it, and I don't care about the domestic shipping fee. As long as it's an excellent song, I'll take it. But every song on the record must be approved by Aurora Island, otherwise I won't accept that record. ”
Thirty dollars to buy a record, this price seems to be a loss for the record producer, because the market retail price of a record is usually more than 60 yuan. In fact, in this world, singers in the Chinese Empire usually take away the copyright fee of less than five yuan per record, but there are very few singers who can get more than three yuan. The production cost is about six or seven yuan per sheet. In addition, there are logistics costs and after deducting taxes, there is a profit of about 10 yuan for 30 yuan.
To ask why records are so expensive, because the distributor also has to make money. Now Zhuang Bifan is the issuer, although the price he gave is a little lower, but it is not outrageous, because the place of sale is Aurora Island, and when the time comes, it will be a new currency that can earn things that can be bought from Aurora Island beyond the level of the earth.
Now the human race does not know what can trade with Aurora Island, if the Huaxia Empire can take the first step, it will be a good thing for Huaxia. What's more, those record makers are not fools, if they can export to Aurora Island, their record sales are not known to be much higher. Zhuang Bifan has announced that he will supply one billion records to Aurora. Not to mention reaching this amount, even one-tenth of it, they can also earn a lot of money.
King Ning Jun heard that Ming Ziluo had mentioned that Zhuang Bifan planned to record a large number of records from the earth, so he took the initiative to find him. This will also know that this is not the time to be an old fox, and he smiled and said, "I can promise you this condition on their behalf." But how can you be sure that those songs can be approved by Aurora Island? ”
In fact, it is to gain the approval of the Kinip people. However, they have been given a set of equipment to tell which songs resonate with them. "I can pick up the songs as soon as I receive them," he said. ”
"Good. King Ning Jun smiled quite happily and said. "Then it's settled. I'll let the people from the Music Association talk to you in detail. ”
Zhuang Bifan thought for a moment and said, "The king of the county can let them contact those singers and songwriters first to see how many people are willing to join." We'd better focus on it first. However, I can guarantee in advance that as long as it meets the song requirements, each record will sell at least 50 million copies. But if there are songs that don't match, I won't accept one. This is to be said in front of the ugly words. ”
King Ning Jun didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "That's simple, we can completely hand over the song to you for review first." Only songs that meet the criteria are recorded on record. If you don't have enough solo songs, then making a solo album is. ”
Zhuang Bifan just wanted to say this: "I also planned it that way. So this needs to be discussed with the singer. "In this day and age, there aren't any hybrid albums anymore. "How many copies of a song will sell, how much the singer will get, how much the creator will get, these should all be agreed in advance. Otherwise, if there is any dispute, and the number of records is not enough, I will be in trouble. ”
He was worried that the record company would suppress singers and creators, so that he could get fewer good songs.
"I'll tell them about that. ”
After achieving his goal, King Ning Jun laughed with them for a while and then said, "I won't bother you young people." I talked to two old friends. ”
After he left, Zhu Tao whispered: "Wood, you want to control the rhythm of the entire music industry of the Chinese Empire." ”
Zhuang Bifan and Sima Yun looked at each other and smiled, and said to him: "How about it, last time I told you to let you sing, or you sang two songs, if you sing well, I will charge more for some records." A song might make hundreds of millions!"Control the music industry? He has no problem controlling the whole planet, as long as he wants.
"I'd better forget it. Although I have time to hang my voice twice during this time, I am far worse than the singers who train every day. I'm still better at looking at Ruiyun Network Security. Zhu Tao pouted and said. "Anyway, I won't make less. ”
Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "Then whatever you like." By the way, do you have a class the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow is the weekend. ”
"Then go to the company at nine o'clock, and tomorrow I will make an appointment with Wang Yu to meet in the company. I went from Aurora to Shang, and I got the production contract for music players and stereos. I'm going to leave it to you to work with him. ”
"I, I don't have anything, so what kind of cooperation?"
Zhuang Bifan hugged his shoulder with one hand and said, "That thing can make money." But I don't like it. But that's important to me. If you don't feel at ease when you hand it over to others, you should help me keep an eye on Wang Yu. ”
Zhu Tao is not a fool, Zhuang Bifan said this, just to let him not have a psychological burden. However, he now also knows that Zhuang Bifan is actually not worried about projects that are not making money, as long as the cooperation that King Ning Jun said just now is reached, Zhuang Bifan can make the world's rich people jealous. So he nodded and said, "Okay." But since I'm going to cooperate with Wang Yu, with my ability, I can't take care of Ruiyun at all. Why don't you leave Ruiyun in the hands of your younger siblings?"
