Chapter 10 Channels
With Xia Bing, an agent who has been in the entertainment industry for several years, to help inquire about the channels for receiving songs, Jiang Lin is naturally happy, and while thinking about expectations, he is still crazy to prepare for the art examination, and he is busy all day long.
At the same time, because he received the phone in the dormitory, the news of Jiang Lin writing songs and selling songs also spread in the second class of the third year of high school, which caused a huge shock again, and in desperation, he also sang "The Bride Is Not Me", in order to put an end to similar situations, he had to make a statement that his song was ready to be sold, and if it was leaked out in advance, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no problems, so it was risky.
Of course, after such an episode, everyone's eyes looking at him naturally became more and more different, there are a considerable number of girls with brilliant eyes and excellent academic performance, they are about to apply for the Yenching Film Academy, they can write songs, and they sing quite well, plus they can barely be regarded as a handsome little guy, such Jiang Lin is suddenly full of attraction in the hearts of girls.
Time flashed for three days, and in the blink of an eye, on the weekend, Jiang Lin went out of school again and came to the Polaris Internet café that he often visits.
Unlike usual, this time Jiang Lin did not directly start looking for movies to watch, but searched for music information on the Internet, especially information related to musicians, Xia Bing's reaction made him realize that his understanding of the world music circle was far from enough.
This is normal, as a senior high school student, the predecessor has been busy with studies before this, where does he have time to pay attention to other aspects of information, I think at the beginning, he himself was also in the university, after getting rid of the heavy and boring study tasks, this is the only way to increase his knowledge in the chaos?
And after crossing and being reborn, except for using that weekend to get a general understanding of the situation in this world, he naturally didn't know much about the music circle in this world when he was preparing for the art exam all the time.
"In 2000, the composer's royalties were released, and Zhao Kang topped the list, with a copyright income of 15.5 million (before tax), Xu Pei'an ranked second, with an income of 12.2 million, and Yang Zongsheng ranked tenth in the third Qu Qingsong with an income of 9.1 million, with an income of 3.6 million."
"Annual music inventory, Zhao Kangcheng's two albums "Dream Chaser" and "Love, Love" in 2001 sold 4.15 million copies in China, with a total sales of 5.87 million copies in Asia, and the album's title songs "Dream Chaser" and "Love, Love" are both on the top of the golden song list, and the annual copyright income is expected to exceed 20 million, which will once again dominate the composer's annual royalty list."
"In the 2001 album sales chart, there were 3.82 million copies of "Dream Chaser", 3.5 million copies of "Holding Hands for Happiness", 3.17 million copies of "What I Want", 2.82 million copies of "Once Owned", 2.56 million copies of "Confession of Love", 205 copies of "Love, Love", 1.86 million copies of "Simple Love", 1.64 million copies of "Wounded City", 1.42 million copies of "Release", and 1.21 million copies of "Bit by Time".
"Music copyright income includes music usage fees for record publishing, radio and television broadcasting, publications, live performances, karaoke, and background music."
After the complete collapse of physical albums in the new century, the income of musicians has completely shown a straight decline, and before he crossed, musicians were almost unable to support themselves on royalties, and naturally not many people wrote songs at that time, musicians either changed careers or went to music programs such as "I Am a Singer", "The Masked Singer", and "Good Songs of China" as mentors or expert consultants.
This world is different, thanks to the strong protection of intellectual property rights by the state and the improvement of people's economic income, although piracy has not been eliminated, the total sales of albums are steadily rising, coupled with the rise in prices, which naturally makes the absolute income of musicians increase year by year.
And the money at this time is much more valuable than in 2016, in comparison, the Chinese musicians in this world are undoubtedly very happy, and their income is no worse than that of ordinary actors and singers.
Which is like the original time and space, after the singers became famous, a commercial performance can easily be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, an advertisement can easily be hundreds of thousands, millions, the person who wrote the song worked hard to write a song, the copyright is basically not counted, the top musicians can get tens of thousands of yuan, and the average musician is only a few thousand yuan, if you live in a first-tier city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, you don't have to count on buying a house, and it is difficult to live a better life.
Although the trend of global physical record sales will be irreversible in the future with the advent of MP3, the Internet era, and the smartphone era, as long as the country maintains the existing copyright protection, the income of musicians will still be very considerable, which is evident from what he has learned about the music industry in the United States and South Korea.
In the original time and space, except for the year when Adele and Aunt Susan were born, after entering the new century, the sales of physical albums in the United States have also declined year by year, but on the contrary, digital downloads have increased year by year, and gradually began to become the largest source of income for the American music industry, and after 2010, its income has been several times that of physical income.
Speaking of South Korea, speaking of which, the diving range of Korean physical albums is not inferior to that of China, in the previous 90s, there were not a few million-selling albums in South Korea, but since 2001 in the new century, in 12 years, South Korea has not had a million-selling album, and its annual best-selling album is often only two or three hundred thousand, until 2013, S.M pushed the boy group EXO to come out, and then there was a million-selling album again. However, despite this, the life of Korean musicians is far more nourishing than that of domestic musicians, and the royalty income of those top composers who rank in the top ranks every year is very amazing, almost reaching the level of millions of yuan, and the reason is also digital music payment.
And after reading this series of information, if Jiang Lin still didn't understand why Xia Bing was so enthusiastic about him, he would definitely not be an ordinary idiot.
First of all, in terms of income, good musicians have been able to contribute a lot of income to the agency, and then in the star-making process, the role of musicians is even more indispensable.
In addition, after the flickering of Xie Yuxin's good sisters, maybe Xia Bing still has other expectations for herself, such as being able to become a singer-songwriter, an excellent singer-songwriter is undoubtedly very rich, Adele and Taylor of the original time and space. Isn't Swift and Chou Dong good examples?
No matter what, wait for the system to be activated and then slowly think about your future Jiang Lin shook his head and turned to find a film to watch, and tossed until ten o'clock, and then went back before the door of the dormitory closed at half past ten
"Oh, it's cold." Habitually stretching after waking up, as soon as his hands came into contact with the cold air that permeated the dormitory, Jiang Lin suddenly shuddered, and quickly retracted his hands.
"You are my little apple, no matter how much I love you, my little red face warms my heart, lights up the fire of my life, fire" While lying on the bed, Jiang Lin hummed a song, everyone else in the dormitory went home for the weekend, he can hum unscrupulously, but he will only sing "Little Apple", the so-called divine comedy. After humming over and over again for a few minutes, I reluctantly left the warm quilt.
"It's cold to death, Nima, when the art exam is over, my brother must sleep with him in the dark."
Jiang Lin gritted his teeth while enduring the biting cold to get dressed, and then went to the balcony, first brushed his teeth, and then washed his face and hair with the hot water connected to the thermos flask last night, there was no hair dryer in the dormitory, and finally he could only use a dry towel to dry the water droplets on his head.
After doing this, he stood on the balcony and looked out at the world shrouded in a light mist, it was a weekend morning, the weather was extremely cold, and the campus was empty and unusually quiet.
At the beginning of "The King of Comedy", Stephen Chow, who was wearing a suit, stood with his hands on his waist facing the sea, Jiang Lin made a trumpet with his hands and shouted: "Work hard, struggle!" Then he took a deep look and turned away from the balcony.
……
"Ding ding" music sounded, Jiang Lin paused the movie he was watching, minimized the video player, and then clicked on the flying pigeon, which is an instant messaging software similar to QQ, which also started in the late 90s of the last century, and now has hundreds of millions of registered users, which is a well-deserved domestic instant messaging overlord.
In fact, there is no need to click on the flying pigeon, Jiang Lin probably knows who should send him the message, because since he registered the account, he has only added Xia Bing, and there is no other possibility to remove possible system information or an application from someone to add friends.
Sure enough, as soon as the flying pigeon was opened, Jiang Lin saw the message sent by Xia Bing, "Are you there?" ”
"In" "Presumably Sister Xia has good news, I'll listen to it" Jiang Lin replied with two messages in a row.
This guy, Xia Bing pouted, her expression was slightly aggrieved, in order to inquire about the channels for the other party to receive songs, she has tried her best to ask all the agents in the company in the past few days, and she is almost fainting when she is tired, and she has not exchanged a word of concern.
"Anla, I've helped you find out a total of three good channels for receiving songs, all of which I have carefully screened."
The corners of Xia Bing's mouth turned up slightly, aren't you eager to know? I'm not so happy to tell you, I have to whet your appetite.
Jiang Lin didn't know what Xia Bing was thinking, he only cared about who was collecting songs, was it suitable for him to sell songs? Hurriedly tapping the keyboard: "Awesome (additional thumbs up gestures), what channels are there?" ”
Seeing Jiang Lin's admiration, Xia Bing's mood was slightly better, but he was still not ready to tell the other party immediately, lest the other party feel as if he was easy to inquire, and then replied: "What's amazing, I almost broke my leg, and I don't know how many good things to say (aggrieved expression)." ”
Jiang Lin smiled slightly, and did not reveal Xia Bing's thoughts: "Sister Xia has worked hard!" Cute! ”
Xia Bing's eyes suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and he replied: "(smiling expression) Let me tell you about the song collection channels that I have screened, is it appropriate for you to handle it yourself?" One is that Sky Records is collecting songs for its first brother Xue Yunjie to produce a new album, before that, Xue Yunjie has two platinum records, which is considered a quasi-first-line singer in China, I personally feel that his voice is suitable for singing your song "The First Snow in 2002"; One is that our company's Hanhai Records is creating a debut album for a female newcomer, although I don't know her situation very well, but because it is my own company, relatively speaking, I am relatively sure that your songs will be sent directly to the producer; The last one is the theme song of the TV series, in fact, if you pay enough attention to the entertainment news dynamics, you should also be able to see this news, "Jingzhong Yue Fei" is ready to be broadcast at the end of February, but director Teng Jilin has not been very satisfied with the theme song, so it has not been decided for a long time, this is not about to start, so I specially solicited the theme song from the outside world, and told you that the bonus is 100,000 yuan. ”
