Chapter 145 Cover

readx;

Fang Xiao opened her eyes, and in the hazy light filtered by the curtains, she saw Xu Xu's crystal jade face, she was sitting on the sofa attached to the bed, staring at him, and she didn't know how long she had been looking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"See what?"

"Nothing."

Fang Xiao turned over lazily, hugged the quilt to her side, and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

"Just came back for a while."

"What time is it?"

"It's almost 12 o'clock."

After Fang Xiao and Xu Xu looked at each other for a while, they turned their backs to the sky, stretched their limbs widely, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired?" Do you want me to give you a massage? Or do you give me a massage? ”

Permission sneered, got up and walked to the window, and opened the curtains to let the bright sunlight shine in.

"Get up and eat."

"Let's get a massage first."

"Press your head." Xu Xu pushed the sliding door, walked into the wardrobe room, took out a set of clothes from it, threw it to him, and said coquettishly: "Look at your half-dead appearance!" I've only been gone for two or three days, and the goblin is going to squeeze you dry. ”

"No, we have been very pure for the past two days, and we all slept in separate rooms last night."

"Who are you fooling?" Permission snorted, walked over and opened the window again, debunking his lie: "The house is filled with the scent of goblins." ”

"You've been away from home these days, and you've become lovesick, so last night the goblin and I borrowed wine here to drown our sorrows, talk to each other, and fall asleep while talking." Fang Xiao was changing his clothes while teasing nonsense: "Look, the majestic posture is heroic, and the air is magnificent." ”

Although they have been together for a long time, the performance of the two sisters in the boudoir is completely different, if it is Qiao Yadan, this may be able to cooperate with him to marry a little Qiao, but Xu Xu just glanced at it, pouted, and walked straight out.

"Hey, don't you really get a massage?"

He raised his hand without looking back. Motioned for him to take his own chances.

It's good that the Queen is back......

No matter which one of the two girls is missing, they feel like they are missing a piece in their hearts......

Fang Xiao took a bath and brushed his teeth, and after tossing and turning, as soon as he went downstairs, he heard the voice of Xu Xu and Qiao Yadan talking.

"You have to think about it, you can't come back if you move away."

"You don't want me to move out?"

"I wish you had never shown up." Permission didn't know what he touched, and made a noise. Then he said: "I just don't want any more twists and turns, I'm very busy now, as soon as you leave, with the pervert's gentle temperament, maybe one day there will be more three, four, five, six or seven, and I'm very unhappy to have you share half of it." I can't stand it anymore. ”

"You can watch him if you move away."

"No, now we live together, sleep together, are a family, you can say anything, as soon as you move out. We are two families, there is a wall in the middle, and we will only go farther and farther in the future, and in the gap between them, I don't know how many people and things will be stuffed in, and it will be annoying to think about it! ”

"But it's not a way to live together all the time, I was secretly photographed last time."

"I don't care, what do you care?"

"Actually, I don't care about the media. I just think that no matter what, I have to have my own home, and I have parents and children to take care of, so I can't always be like this, right? ”

"You want kids again?"

"I'm sure I'll have to ask for it in the future."

"I really can't help you, just graduated and thought about children, you can't do business?! Let the pervert buy a house nearby for your parents to live in first, so much money in the bank. I don't know how to give us some gifts, stingy! ”

"Buy what you want, anyway, you know the account password."

"Can it be the same as buying it yourself and giving it to others?"

"If you don't move, what will Uncle Shen say?"

"He'll be foolish. I'll call him later...... You go and see what the pervert is doing, why can't he come down. Forget it, I'll go, as soon as you goblin go up, maybe you won't be able to get down for half a day. ”

Fang Xiao kicked the floor twice, then walked through the arch and walked into the restaurant, only to see that the meal was ready, and the two girls were sitting at the table, one was eating fruit salad and the other was drinking freshly squeezed juice.

"When is your movie finished?"

"I don't know, I haven't felt it for the past two days." Fang Xiao sat down beside Qiao Yadan, picked up the porcelain bowl, and said, "It is estimated that the filming on the 20th will not be finished, so it will take a few more days." ”

"Hurry up and get it done, the company has a bunch of things waiting for you, don't be unserious."

Fang Xiao snorted and asked, "How about going to Taiwan this time?" ”

"It's ideal, and I bought more than 3,000 songs." Xu Xu forked the fruit pieces with a delicate small fork and said: "Those music companies in the 80s are okay to say, musicians are more troublesome, some have changed careers, some have emigrated, some have passed away, and some don't know where to go, thanks to Uncle Xia's wide network, otherwise it is really difficult to buy." ”

I was allowed to go to Taiwan this time, firstly, to find new members of the Queen Orchestra for publicity, and secondly, to buy the music rights of some old songs.

Taiwanese pop music flourished in the 80s and 90s, and there were many outstanding musicians who left behind many good songs, but Taiwan did not revise the copyright law until 1985 and joined the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, that is, before 1985, the copyright of Taiwanese musicians was not guaranteed, and those musicians could only sell them to record companies at a fixed price after writing lyrics and songs.

In 1985, the revision of the copyright law and the relaxation of the political environment after that, Taiwan's pop music industry prospered, and there were hundreds of record companies at its peak, including more than 30 of which were produced and distributed, but the good times did not last long, in 1992, Taiwan revised the copyright law again and opened the music market to overseas capital, in just two or three years, these hundreds of record companies were acquired or squeezed by international giants such as Warner, Universal, EMI, etc., killing only a few target records and butterfly sound records, In 1996, Dieyin was acquired by Warners, leaving only a local record company to support it, and the golden age of Taiwanese music came to an end.

For pop music, sometimes it is the song that makes the person, sometimes the person makes the song, and a good song sometimes needs to meet the right singer to bloom the charming charm, if Teresa Teng does not cover "The Moon Represents My Heart", this good song will be silent, if Faye Wong does not cover "Legend", this song will not be popular all over the country, and the waves will sweep the sand. When Taiwan's music industry was booming, more than 100 record companies, large and small, produced thousands of songs every year, and there must have been many good songs that were not popular for various reasons.

Fang Xiao's memory is limited, it is impossible to plagiarize endlessly, and it is impossible to release new songs when he sees people, and a new song will come in two or three days like before. He must not be able to bear it, so he came up with the idea of these old songs.

Covers are the lowest-cost, most efficient re-creations, buying those old songs, replacing them with arrangements that fit the times, re-polishing and polishing, and then putting them out. After all, many listeners have never heard the old songs of the seventies and eighties, and they are not much different from the new songs, and the listeners who have listened to them also have a sense of freshness - the same song. Different arrangements and singing methods, the difference is not ordinary, such as Wang Leehom's "Descendants of the Dragon" and Li Jianfu's "Descendants of the Dragon", such as the escape plan "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and Xu Xiaowei's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

Permission to go to Taiwan this time, not only from those old record companies that existed before 1985 to buy the rights of the lyrics and songs they bought out that year, but also from those musicians who debuted after 1985 but did not become popular.

Several record companies in Taiwan, such as Haifeng and Xinyun, were in the limelight in the sixties and seventies, but they couldn't keep up with the times because of their business ideas. In the mid-80s, it declined, and those large international companies that entered Taiwan in the 90s were not interested in acquiring them, so they kept running, and after the older generation passed away, the second generation who succeeded them were either not interested in the music industry, or they were sons and daughters with little ability, and copyright became a family inheritance like a house. The copyright fee has become a high-quality "rent", and music licensing is a business without profit, for example, Dragonfly Music wants to authorize, and the other party collects the money. Print a piece of paper, stamp it, fax it, and everything will be fine, even the audio source is not provided, and Dragonfly Music must buy CD conversion by itself.

However, no matter how high-quality, after all, it is an old song from the seventies and eighties, just like a broken house in the old city, even if it is spacious and comfortable, the rent is not much higher, and the long stream of water can solve the problem of food and clothing, but it can't get rich overnight, and it is allowed to wave a check in the past, and it almost didn't take much tongue to buy it all, anyway, when their parents and grandparents bought these songs, each song was only a few hundred New Taiwan dollars, and the second generation earned enough, so they didn't feel distressed.

As for those musicians after 1985, their previous production company has long been closed, their popularity is not high enough, the circulation and influence of their works are limited, and they have basically changed careers and stopped making music, and it is meaningless to keep the copyright in their hands and get a hundred and ten yuan a year, it is better to sell it for money at one time, so the license is invincible and the harvest is very rich.

Of course, the license is not to buy it when she sees anyone, she has the list provided by the Dragonfly Music Expert Group in her hand, and there are music professors, senior music critics, and music history research experts in the expert group, who think they are good songs.

Like Fang Xiao's previous life, there are many musicians who are very powerful but not well-known by listeners in the 21st century, such as Yang Yaodong, Jin Tiezhang, Shi Xiaorong, Xue Yue, Zhang Hongyi, Qu Youliang, etc., some of them are like meteors, fleeting, some are out of the times, not recognized, some die young, and some marry and retire, but their songs have always been respected and loved by music critics and senior fans. For example, Lin Liangle's "Gentle Compassion" released in 1992, after a lapse of 11 years, was covered by Ahsan, and then became popular again, and then the southern duet "Don't Ask Me If I'm Doing Well" released in 1993, after being covered by the Good Sister Band, it was known to the public again, exuding a charming light.

In fact, the cover is a license, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, but Fang Xiao insists on buying it out, naturally in order to eat alone, buy these songs back, especially to buy music works after 1985, mainly to pick up leaks, these songs that were not very popular before, as long as he or other Google's contracted artists cover them and no longer authorize them, they will become out of print exclusively owned by Dragonfly Music, otherwise like "New Love", you cover me and I will cover it, and dozens of versions will be turned out, and the audience will not get tired of it......

Of course, it is also risky to do so, a well-written song does not mean that it will be popular, there is naturally a reason why it is not popular back then, buy back 3000 songs, it is very remarkable to be able to cover 30 popular songs, Fang Xiao is also a sword to go sideways, play a heartbeat, because the copyright in the hands of Warner, Baidai and those giants can't be bought out without paying a great price, and these giants are casting a net everywhere, widely authorizing, and any music company has their works, which can't reflect the differentiation, And differentiation is the foundation of dragonfly music.

On the one hand, she does need to try a variety of music styles to find her own music positioning, and on the other hand, she is also cooperating with the company to test the cover market.

"It's a pity that I didn't buy Ma Yijun's song this time." After eating the salad, he put down the dishes and said, "He has been dead for two years, and there has been no media coverage in the media, even Uncle Xia has not heard of it, and he only found out after he came to the door." ”

Fang Xiao was surprised and said: "I heard Du Pang say that Ma Yijun was the best film score master in Taiwan in the 80s, and he won the Golden Horse Award twice, how could he pass away silently?" ”

"Not only is he very accomplished in film scores, but he has also written a lot of pop songs, and I really like his 'A Life of Love'." Xu sighed and said: "Ma Yijun opened a film company by himself in 92, but the box office of the two dramas he filmed was very miserable, and he closed it in 95, and later opened a publishing house and an advertising company, but he didn't make money, he opened a travel agency in 2003, the business is okay, he may be busy, he has nothing to do with the industry, he died of a heart attack in the summer of last year, Mrs. Ma said that she wanted to keep the copyright to make a thought, I didn't say anything, as long as I had an authorization." ”

Fang Xiao nodded and ate slowly.

Xu Xu watched him eat, and after a while, said, "You should go out for a walk and change your mind." ”

"Where are you going on such a hot day?"

"You can go wherever you want, alone."

Fang Xiao was surprised and looked up at her.

"After the concert, the goblin and Mai Jiexin went home for a few days, Arlene went on a trip, Lan Xiaoxi got drunk, and you hid at home like a wooden man, not knowing how to relax." Xu tapped his finger on the dining table and said, "I went to Taiwan this time, although it was official business, but after I came back, I felt much more relaxed, and you should also go out and relax." ”

"Making a movie is all about relaxing."

"But you don't feel it anymore." Xu Xu glanced at Qiao Yadan and said, "The little goblin said that you are very sluggish. ”

"Nonsense!" Fang Xiaoyi glared, and asked sternly, "When did I become depressed?" Believe it or not, clean you up right away. ”

"You've been in a low mood these days." Qiao Yadan didn't laugh at him, and Zhengse said, "I really need to take a break." ”

Fang Xiao ate a few more bites of food, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay then, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Los Angeles." Fang Xiao smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the World Cup final day, I'll go and take a look." (To be continued.)
