Chapter 24 Selling Song Copyrights
The entertainment industry in the empire was unprecedentedly developed.
In terms of movies, the empire is the largest box office in the whole shijie, and in the total overseas box office of domestic films, it has its own ups and downs with the United States, basically in the first and second in shijie, the Empire's Yenching International Film Festival's Film Golden Dragon Award and the United States' Academy Awards are the highest level of film awards on shijie.
Musically, the songs of the pop singers of the empire spread throughout shijie, and pop singers also became popular throughout shijie, and at the same time, the music of the empire is also the most developed on shijie, with shijie music festivals such as the music festival award ceremony, and the influence is very huge.
In terms of literature, the empire has the first-class Hongdao Literature Award, and the Nobel Prize in Literature is known as the two major literary awards of Shijie.
…… To say that the empire is not culturally embarrassing or embarrassing is not that the empire is not competitive, in fact, the competitiveness of the empire's culture is inferior to that of the United States in some places, and it is somewhat incompatible with the huge population base of one billion. In addition, although the film, music, and literature of the empire were very developed, these were basically Westernized! Needless to say, the film was invented by the French, and although the film culture of the empire is branded with modern Han culture, the film that really cares about the Chinese nation is not very influential on shijie.
Musical ...... of the Empire This is completely Westernized music, and the popular songs now are sung in Imperial Mandarin or Cantonese in Guangnan, but in fact, the melody and core are all Western.
Literally, the Imperial Revival of Ancient Poetry was shouted for decades and carried out for several years, but the results were not great...... The development of online literature has also fallen into a bottleneck......
Therefore, the cultural theory of the empire is problematic because the Chinese are trying to find the roots of culture, and want to integrate this unique root into the national characteristics, so that the culture of the descendants of Yan and Huang can truly inherit the past and the future, and let the traditional culture truly blossom on the modern soil.
If you want to talk about the modern Han culture after the fusion of empire and Western culture, then the absolute force has spread to the entire Shijie...... Even with the United States, you have me, I have you.
To put it simply, South Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Japan, and other countries that left half of the territory after World War II, as well as neighboring India, Central Asia, and South Asian countries, now most of the people have mastered their own Chinese language and Chinese, and South Korea has fully used Chinese characters in the past two years - they have to do this, after all, South Korea has been using Chinese characters before creating its own script, and they now need to communicate better with China on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also want to interpret their traditional culture, so they began to write Chinese characters, Speak Chinese.
…… Under the modern Han culture, which is such a radiant force that makes every Chinese proud, although there is embarrassment, there is a huge and glamorous side.
On the music level, although the music of the empire is unprecedentedly developed, there are also forms of independent musicians - their new songs are cooperated with different companies and then divided, but they are outside the major music production companies.
But there is a huge problem in this - without a professional entertainment agency as a guarantee, it is difficult for them to maintain their popularity, and if they do not maintain their popularity, then every time a new song is released, it needs a music production company to promote and hype...... But this is not their own person, and it is not much good to hype themselves!
Therefore, as a result, many acting agencies and record production companies are reluctant to accept independent music producers! Their lives will also become more and more difficult, unless they can maintain their popularity all the time......
However, in this era when there are more and more people singing and fewer and fewer people listening to songs, there are countless young boys and girls with musical dreams stepping into this industry every day, but how many can succeed? They will soon be overwhelmed by latecomers! In the end, he was penniless, lost in the vast sea of people, and even reduced to singing in places like Lijiang and Dali.
Therefore, only the kind of person who really has great confidence and great ability will choose to become an independent music producer!
No wonder Xiao Zhi was so surprised after hearing Li Chencan's statement.
"Yes, you can say that." Li Chencan nodded slightly.
Xue Feiyang also frowned beside him and said, "Li Chencan, do you want to know how difficult the road of an independent music producer is...... Now in our country, how many are famous? You have to think about it. ”
Li Chencan smiled confidently: "Originally, singing was not my main business, so being an independent musician is more in line with my situation!" So, Mr. Xiao, this is what I think, and if I feel bad, I won't force it. ”
Xiao Zhi fell into thought.
Even if Li Chencan asks for such a way...... But I can't stand this guy's beautiful song! "You at the Same Table" and "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk" are called a hit, if you really make money on the list, you will definitely make a lot of money! And in today's "Friend", he, Xiao Zhi, as a more sensitive musician, can completely predict how burning this song will be!
In that case, of course it's okay to sign it.
Therefore, he said directly: "Mr. Li, we have two ways to sign a contract with a musician of your type, the first is to completely buy out the copyright of your songs, and we will release them ourselves, and the second is to share with you, which way do you think is more suitable for you?" ”
Of course, Li Chencan did not hesitate: "Let's divide it." He believes that these three songs, such as "You at the Same Table", will definitely be able to make a name for himself in this shijie and allow him to gain a lot of capital, not only monetary capital, but also intangible social capital in many aspects.
These things are useful......
"Divided into ......" Xiao Zhi nodded, he was not surprised by Li Chencan's choice, the company has a special music evaluation team, which will evaluate the value of the song at that time, and then decide the degree of publicity of the song. Xiao Zhi said to Li Chencan: "Our share for newcomers is generally 30%. ”
It's true that this is not much, but it is not a lot.
The empire is not the same as in previous lives...... In the previous life, those music companies did not rely on releasing songs to make money - in the era of rampant piracy, it was impossible to make money by publishing songs! However, the people of the empire have a strong sense of copyright, and they will consciously defend the copyright of a song.
When a song hits the charts, it will only refine the wonderful or the beginning of the ten seconds to dozens of seconds of time audition, after the audition, you can download it directly, the download is charged, and generally one person downloads according to the different pricing, between 0.01 yuan and 1 yuan.
0.01 is the price of songs that can't be sold and can't be completely lifted for various reasons, and 1 yuan is the price of superstar songs.
Such a copyright share, as well as a share after the release of records and peripheral products.
As for a singer who relies on this fame to receive an advertisement, these music companies have no right to participate in the share, so they give the musician a 30% share.
This is the market price...... It will adjust as the value of a singer rises.
Li Chencan was silent for a moment, then nodded, and the copyrights of several songs were temporarily out, and they would be packaged and sold next! However, with the help of Xue Feiyang, Li Chencan confirmed with Xue Feiyang that the promotion cost of his song must reach the minimum level of publicity of ordinary third-rate singers, otherwise this contract will be invalid!
This clause made Xiao Zhi very difficult, but Zuihou still nodded and agreed.
