Chapter 190: The Music Director's Problem

On August 5th, the manuscript fee for "Breaking the Sky" came out, and there was no manuscript fee settlement for traditional publishing, so the income was much lower than last month.

But Chen Li and Yan Xin didn't care much.

Last month, there was a settlement of traditional manuscript fees for the first half of the year, and it is normal to have more.

They had expected this month's manuscript fee, and it would not be much higher.

On this day, the two of them went to Yangcheng again, Chen Li was going to Baijingyuan to collect the house, and by the way, he bought some furniture to decorate the empty house.

Yan Xin just went to the company to have a look, met with several contracted singers of the company, and talked about future development plans.

By the way, take out the songs that were "created" during this period of time and share them with everyone.

During this time, he copied dozens of songs.

Some songs only remember the melody, and the lyrics have been forgotten a lot.

But it doesn't matter.

No one dictates how the lyrics have to be written.

Now he's the original, and he says what the lyrics are, that's what they are.

As long as you can memorize most of the lyrics, and the rest of those who can't remember all of them can be made up according to the original meaning.

Sometimes I make up and remember the lyrics that I have forgotten.

Sometimes I can't remember, so I make it up myself.

The lyrics that can be eaten accurately, he will complete it alone.

If you can't eat accurately, sometimes I will ask Chen Li and ask him to polish the specific words and sentences, no matter how good he is, as long as he can be perfunctory, it's okay.

The most important thing in a song is the song rather than the words, and it is enough to be able to remember the melody of the song.

In addition, the company also bought some songs - works posted by netizens on the music forum of Starlight.com.

Some of them are because the quality is really okay, which is not very good, but it is also qualified, not to the point of being ugly.

Some of them are popular works on the forum, and there is a lot of discussion, although they don't think that kind of work is good, but there are so many people who support it, so you can try it.

It doesn't really matter if it's not good, and sometimes it's a gimmick to be bad.

As long as there are many people who support it, there are reasons for its success.

For example, "My Skateboarding Shoes", which became popular inexplicably, is really ugly, but the fire is also a real fire.

This kind of work is also very much needed by the company.

Choosing to buy those works, in fact, the company also knows that basically there is no money.

But I did it anyway.

One of the main reasons is to use this method to encourage the creative enthusiasm of netizens, and also attract more music-related professionals to come to this website and publish their music works on this forum.

Relying on one person alone, even if he is very good at copying songs, he can't support the volume of a company.

What's more, Yan Xin can remember only a limited number of songs, and half of them belong to old songs, and there is no way to plagiarize them.

Singing some songs that are not so good does not have such a big impact on the singer, as long as you can release a high-quality song every once in a while.

No singer can make every song good.

This also allows you to populate your company's music library.

How to choose songs has a threefold mechanism.

First of all, Xie Jun, the music director and legal director of Starlight Entertainment, chose with the vision of a professional musician.

Because the works posted on the forum in the early days were all amateur players of the same level as Yan Xin, posting a lyric or a singing sample, basically they didn't understand music theory knowledge.

And what Xie Jun wants to choose is whether there is anything that can be remedied by recomposing the music.

Yan Xin doesn't know the knowledge of music theory, but he copied all the very popular songs he listened to in his previous life, and if there is anything wrong, it's just that he sings out of tune.

Netizens upload their own original things, and some of them just hum nonsense, the kind that can't be saved.

Xie Jun wants to choose the ones that can be remedied.

Then Yan Xin, Xiao Yin and other amateur listeners will choose which ones they sound acceptable.

In the end, it is up to several contracted singers of the company to choose which ones they can sing by themselves.

After choosing three tiers, decide to buy.

There is no certain price, according to the quality of the song, it is directly bought out, and the remuneration ranges from 500 to 3000.

Of course, the announcement of the website is not like this, and in the announcement of the website, the remuneration for buying out the song can be as high as 100,000 yuan.

If you can't reach that price, it's not that the company can't afford it, it's that you haven't reached that level yet.

Those songs, after they were recorded, were not published on other platforms, but directly posted on the original song download page of Starlight Network, which can be listened to online for free, and if you want to download it, you have to spend 20,000 gold coins to download.

put it on QQ music, all of which were copied by Yan Xin himself.

This is a song that wants to bring popularity to its own company's singers, and of course it must be placed on a platform with a lot of traffic in order to have a better effect.

Of course, these songs will also be posted on their own website.

At this time, it is free to publish songs online, and singers can upload to any platform they want, and they can upload to multiple platforms if they want to.

Even ordinary people can upload classic songs sung by those stars.

Some are destined to be unpopular, and it doesn't make much sense to put them on those platforms with high traffic, so it's better to put them on their own websites in the name of exclusive resources, and how much they can contribute some data.

The traffic to the website is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people who are actually online is getting higher and higher.

And the income of several singers signed by the company is also getting higher and higher.

When I first wanted to sign them, except for Madoka, the rest were not very happy, thinking that the company was too ruthless, and according to that contract, it was a deed of sale.

But now, those bar singers in the circle are very envious of them, and they can't sign in if they want to, and they realize how lucky they are.

Yan Xin has no idea of signing more singers for the time being, unless he meets someone who makes his eyes shine, then sign it and concentrate resources to support it.

There is no such thing, and at the moment these five are enough.

- The main reason is that he doesn't have much stock in his stomach, and the supply for these five or three or five years is okay.

If there were a few more, they would have eaten up his stock.

If you sign it but don't have the ability to let the family develop well, it will delay the other party and waste your own money, so it's not necessary.

This time I went to the company for an afternoon of talking, and everyone generally has strong confidence in the future, and the spirit is positive, which makes Yan Xinyou very happy.

It's just that he found that Xie Jun, the music director, was not quite in the mood, although he often had a smile on his face, he occasionally showed a negative expression.

I couldn't help but think: "Did he find any hidden dangers in the company's development?" ”

After the symposium ended, he stopped Xie Jun: "Director Xie, your mood is a little wrong today, is there something wrong with the company?" ”

Xie Jun was stunned for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "The company's development is booming, and I haven't found any problems for the time being." ”

"But I see that you sometimes have a sad face, what is going on?" Yan Xin asked.

Xie Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not the company's business, it's my own business...... I've been talking to my girlfriend for a few years, and I ran away with someone......"
