In this day and age, how can a song make money?

Some people say it's selling songs, and some people say it's selling songs after becoming famous.

However, in most people's hearts, selling songs is the only way for a song to make money.

However, the reality is quite the opposite.

In Huaxia, after a song is produced, if you want to make money, the first thing to do is not to find someone to sell it for money, but to report to the music union.

Only registered music can be sold for money.

Fortunately, Liu Tianwang didn't care about this little money, and he didn't do those despicable acts of dominating songs, but he still told Ye Lin how to transfer songs.

Well, after the song is produced, there are two ways to sell it.

One is that singers, songwriters, and lyricists who often work together directly rely on each other's trust to make money and money.

The other is where the music union comes in.

Generally speaking, it is the singer who describes the type of song he wants, the degree of audience, and what grade of song he needs, and then has the staff of the trade union to make systematic arrangements, of course, he can assign a well-known lyricist and composer producer, after paying an objective salary and a commission, and wait for a period of time, you can get the song you want.

There is also a special situation, that is, after the singer finds the title song of the album, and wants to find some songs that serve as the chorus of the album, then he will select some songs from the new library of the music union, if these songs have been authorized by the composer and lyricist, then they can be purchased directly, if there is no authorization, then they must communicate through the contact information left, and once a consensus is reached, the songwriter can cancel the song.

Of course, regardless of whether it is authorized or not, it is necessary to pay a certain percentage of the deposit fee in the music union every year.

This price is charged according to the quality of the song.

Although the style of the songs is different, although the singing skills required are different, generally speaking, there is a relatively clear division in the music union.

Third-rate songs.

It's pretty much the same song that the bar-resident singers used or wrote.

Second-rate songs.

Songs that most debut singers are able to own or create.

Top-notch songs.

Generally speaking, some celebrities, and even some kings and diva-level artists, have released songs in new albums or excerpt albums.

Songs that have reached the top level are basically the mainstream of today's music industry.

Golden Melody.

It's a kind of song that is above the top and below the next level.

In most cases, golden songs are almost rare songs in five to ten years, and generally speaking, they can already be sung as the title song of the king and queen.

Classic hits.

It's a kind of song that is a little higher than the golden song.

Most of the time, it's only seen in the album title songs of artists who have suddenly become popular, and usually, these songs are classic OSTs from a movie or TV series.

On top of the classic golden songs, it is the kind of golden songs that have been passed down through the ages!

For example, the piece played in "The Pianist of the Sea".

For example, the national anthem.

Yes, no kidding, the national anthem is indeed a golden hit.

Such songs, not to mention few, can even be said to have reached the level that only a few can have.

Since the beginning of the last century, the heirloom hits have disappeared, and today, the classic hits are almost legendary.

And Ye Lin knows that in the future generations more than ten years later, even golden songs are already a luxury!

The decline of the music industry can be imagined.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ye Lin, what he is thinking about now is how to make money.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to sell songs.

However, this time is different from the last time, the last time was the price he and Liu Tianwang negotiated in private, and he is a newcomer, and it is impossible for him to give a high price.

But in the music union it was different.

As long as you record a song in a music union, then you can get a certain number of points.

And once you reach a certain level, you can move up the ranks of your own songwriters.

And obviously, high-level songwriters are bound to earn more.

So generally speaking, most of the people who sell songs will trade with the music union.

Although the selling price of the song at that time may be lower, it will increase the points.

And the price of the songs of high-level songwriters is more than 10% higher than that of lower-level songwriters!

Don't underestimate this success!

You must know that for the same second-rate song, newcomers, that is, songwriters with zero writer level, can only harvest the basic song value, which is probably only about 10,000.

But what about when the rank of songwriter increases?

That's one in one!

And once you reach the fifth level of writer, then the value of all songs will be doubled!

That is to say, on the basis of the original 10,000, after increasing by 50%, it will be doubled!

That's 30,000!

And the songwriter's writer level is after level five, and the value of the song doubles for each level up!

The highest level is ten!

In other words, a song that is obviously only worth 10,000 songs, and a songwriter at the level of 10 writers sells it, it is 960,000!

Nearly a million!

And this is just a second-rate song, not to mention that there are first-class songs on top, as well as golden songs and classic golden songs......

It can be said that in this circle, it will be very profitable to really sell songs.

However, there is a premise, and that is that you are famous and the writer is of a high rank.

However, to date, the highest level of songwriter in the Music Guild is grade eight.

What the?

You say levels nine and ten?

Sorry, no one has been able to reach it.

Because it's so hard.

Level 10 is the first time you have to make three hits! And the total sales of the songs reached 10 billion!

Level 9 is a little worse, you have to make two legendary songs, and the total sales of the songs reach 1 billion!

If the eighth level is lowered again, you must be able to make a legendary golden song, and the total sales of the song will reach 100 million.

And now, the songwriter who has reached the eighth level has passed away, stopping at 800 million, which is really regrettable.

In fact, there are two modes of selling songs.

One is to sell all the copyrights of the songs, such songs are no longer the songwriter's from that time, of course, a songwriter's name will be hung, but all the copyrights belong to the singer.

The second is to sell only the rights to sing a certain song, but the song itself is still the songwriter's.

Generally speaking, in most cases in the entertainment industry, the former is the mainstay.

In the latter case, it usually happens when the artist himself is the songwriter as the singer.

For example, in a public place, as long as you pay a certain price, you can get the temporary singing rights of the song, or some new singers can buy the remake rights of a song in their own albums and perform their own interpretations.

These are also the two mainstream sales methods in the song industry today.
