Chapter 710: Piracy
In addition to the aforementioned stylistic issues, there is a bigger reason why this album will fail, and that is the rise of digital music. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this life, because of the emergence of Lu Deshuang, Internet cafes have blossomed all over the country, and even because of competition, the original sky-high Internet fees have been directly dived to more than ten years later, the Internet access fees of ordinary Internet cafes are three yuan an hour, and even in some black Internet cafes, there are two yuan an hour.
Such a situation has naturally led to a surge in domestic Internet users, and the speed is like riding a rocket.
And when netizens can search for free music online, then why should they waste money on buying albums?
It can be said that there is no solution to this problem.
Recording industry. In the Western countries represented by the United States, which have been developed for hundreds of years, the mature and perfect market environment and the high level of copyright protection policies have made consumers in these countries develop good habits of genuine consumption for a long time.
However, after the advent of digital music, music was downloaded for free on the Internet, which dealt a huge blow to the sales of record companies in a short period of time.
Perhaps the record companies that have never experienced such a major piracy impact have not been able to find an effective means to stop online piracy and protect their own interests for a long time. It wasn't until 2003 when Apple launched the iPod+iTunes model and made a lot of real money from it that the record industry saw a viable solution to its current predicament.
Although after several years of development, the digital music market in Europe and the United States has now entered a rapid growth track, but the decline of the traditional record industry has become a fact.
Gone are the days when record giants enjoyed high profits exclusively, and now record labels can only share the cake of digital music with network operators, digital music service providers, terminal equipment manufacturers, etc. For the record industry in Europe and the United States, the arrival of the digital music era is a usurpation of the interests of the traditional industry initiated by the new technology industry, and the cooperation between the traditional record industry and the new technology is more out of compulsion than the pursuit of its heart.
In China, however, the mentality of record companies is very different.
To tell the truth, the record market in China has never matured, and the traditional music industry has long been troubled by the erosion of its interests by piracy, which has a market share of more than 95%, and it is an open fact that it is unprofitable to release records.
In such a situation, domestic record companies have honed a set of skills to survive without releasing records, and most of them have been reduced to economic companies, relying on artists to go to caves, hold concerts and advertising endorsements to make a living. The advent of digital music has further squeezed the already meager profit margin of China's record industry. But for record labels, which don't make money on record sales, the blow is felt far less strongly than by their foreign counterparts, because for them, it's just physical piracy turning into online piracy.
And the people who are really full of resentment about digital music are estimated to be the pirates of physical records in China, who are the real victims of the arrival of the digital music era!
"So according to what you mean, the first-day sales of my album are not bad, right?"
Listening to Lu Deshuang's explanation, Huang Bo gradually came to his senses, with his enthusiasm for music, he naturally knew about digital music, but after all, he had not experienced it personally, and he didn't know how harmful digital music was, but there was one thing he heard, that is, now the physical record industry is really dead in name only under the attack of digital music and pirates.
"Let's just say that, anyway, in the future, the myth of sales exceeding one million is estimated to really be a myth, and in two or three years, it will be good to be able to break through 100,000."
Although Lu Deshuang was engaged in film and television in his previous life, he also had contact with the bosses of many record companies, so he naturally knows how withered the physical record industry will be in the future, take Jay Chou as an example, as the most influential male singer in China, Jay Chou's record results have refreshed many records in the Chinese music scene. The total sales in Asia exceeded 30 million, and the highest-selling album sold 3.6 million copies, however, because the record industry as a whole went downhill, after 07 years, Jay Chou's album sales began to decline year by year.
"Is there really no way?"
Lu Deshuang shook his head with a sigh, and said helplessly: "If our country has the same mature and perfect market environment and high copyright protection policies as Western countries, maybe the rise of digital music will bring some new changes to the domestic music scene, but do you think it is possible?" ”
It can be said that in China, where the copyright protection system is not perfect, piracy is always a topic that cannot be avoided.
However, Lu Deshuang still believes that the state will gradually improve the protection system in this regard, after all, before he was reborn, the country has indeed begun to pay attention to the protection of copyright, but even so, there are still places that the state does not pay attention to, and they are still deeply hurt by piracy, such as online articles, online articles, online articles, important things said three times!
"Okay, don't think about it, take a few days of 'recuperation' here, and I'll solve it over there Zhao Lixing."
"No, I have to stay for a few more days, can't I go home and 'recuperate'?"
For Zhao Lixing, after Lu Deshuang came forward, Huang Bo had nothing to worry about at all, even a big man like Wu Kebo was played by Lu Deshuang, not to mention a man with no background, who broke the sky, and was a little senior in the underground music circle in Beiping, for Lu Deshuang, he was simply a small ant that could not be smaller, and he could be pinched to death with a light pinch.
On the contrary, what Huang Bo cared about was the set of mummies on his body, he thought that he would put on a show in front of reporters and dismantle it when he got home, but now he listens to Lu Deshuang's meaning, and he only has to continue to show off in the hospital for a few days, but this set of mummies is uncomfortable enough to be entangled for a day, and he actually has to hold on for a few more days, which is not life.
"Can't!"
Actually, it's not that it's impossible, at most it's just a day to put on mummy makeup, and it doesn't take much time, but the main purpose of Lu Deshuang's refusal is to give Huang Bo a little punishment, not that Huang Bo ran to drink, or even fought with others, but that Huang Bo didn't let the bodyguards follow him closely, if there were bodyguards in the conflict that night, how could Huang Bo still be injured.
"No, Deshuang, we're brothers!"
Lu Deshuang still shook his head and sighed: "Who made your affairs a big deal, everyone already knows that you were beaten into a mummy by Zhao Lixing, so you have to stay here for a few days, and then I will release the news of you in this hospital, and after the reporter comes to take pictures, you can call it a day." ”
"Okay, but you have to hurry!"
