Chapter 20

Qian Dachao’s suggestions to Jiang Dongliu are all very conscientious suggestions, and it is definitely not the unscrupulous businessman who is suppressing the price.

Jiang Dongliu can judge this point.

There are usually two ways for musicians in this world to monetize their original works.

One is to register on APM and then hang the songs to the official music library of the APM Alliance.

Later, if a professional singer participates in a competition to cover his works, he will be paid the corresponding copyright fee.

The copyright usage fee is directly linked to APM's game points.

1 point corresponds to 1 USD.

For example, on the final stage of the APM1000 Master Tour, which can earn 1,000 points, a singer has to pay a copyright fee of US$1,000 to cover other people's works, which is about 6,000 yuan in Huaxia Yuan.

If the songwriter of this song is the same person, then the author can get nearly 5,000 Chinese Yuan royalties after tax.

This royalty is charged per time, and the singer has to pay for every cover.

It seems that the profit is very good, but in actual competitions, most singers only pay a copyright fee of USD 1 in covers.

Because their competitions are often just for 1 APM point.

For example, the online coordination battle open to singers with less than 10 points is the largest number of competitions held in the professional music industry every day. If you win this competition, you will only have 1 APM point.

In China, hundreds of thousands of professional singers with less than 10 points are playing a coordination showdown for 1 point every week.

Most of these people will cover popular songs to participate.

If these singers use popular songs to cover them in large quantities, the original author's profit will be considerable.

Sometimes, a popular song suitable for competition can bring hundreds or even thousands of dollars to the original author in a day, making the original author make a fortune.

However, the probability of such a thing happening is extremely small, which is similar to winning the first prize of the lottery.

Almost all the popular golden songs in the Chinese music scene are sang by top singers from big clubs.

All such works are copyrighted in clubs, and are promoted and popular by the strong promotion of large clubs and top singers.

It is difficult for ordinary musicians without a club background to make their original works popular.

Another way for musicians to quickly convert their works is to sell their works to the singer club, sign a buyout or share contract with the singer club, and let the club promote it.

Before he knew that the system had 15% of the content automatically activated, Jiang Dongliu had such a dream of spring and autumn, which was to madly carry out golden songs from another world and sell the songs in batches to big clubs to earn buyout fees, so that he would have plenty of money.

But now there is a limit on the automatic activation clause, so he cannot move songs in batches.

Otherwise, the loan will definitely be insolvent.

Now he can only sell songs one by one, and he is very careful in doing some small business.

After listening to Qian Dachao's suggestion, Jiang Dongliu tentatively asked about the club's market for song collection: "Mr. Qian, do you think my song "Meeting" can cost if I sell it to a suitable club?"

"That depends on whether you sign a one-time buyout agreement or a share agreement. In our Greater Changan area, this traditional urban pop song will not be very popular. If you want to sell it locally, the share agreement is likely to be a zero contract."

"Zero contract?"

"It is you who give this song to the club for free and let the club help you promote it. In the contract, the club will promise that the singers who rank a few and a few APM competition to sing this song. If their singers can make this song popular, then your subsequent income will be considerable, and countless singers will cover you with subsequent royalties. Of course, this subsequent royalties club will also share a part. As for how much it is, it depends on how you signed the contract."

"What if we sign a one-time buyout contract, how much can this song be sold?" Jiang Dongliu had to lower the art to the reality level with an egg debt of 10,000 yuan.

"According to my understanding of the market here, your song will definitely be sold for 1,000 yuan. No matter how high it is, you have to try your luck. You have to find a club that pays more attention to urban popular style works."

"I see."

Jiang Dongliu's expression was slightly frustrated.

In his opinion, it is too cheap to sell such a good work for only 1,000 yuan!

Even if he is beaten to death, he will not sell such a classic work at a low price.

Qian Dachao saw that Jiang Dongliu was very concerned about money, so he asked: "Lao Jiang, don't blame me for being troubled. Have you encountered any difficult things? If you are in a hurry to use money, I can help you get some first."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian."

Seeing Qian Dachao so righteous, Jiang Dongliu felt much more at ease and was too lazy to hide it. He said directly: "I have been very tight recently and I'm urgent to use money. But I can't take your money in vain. I am a little thick-skinned, but I still have principles in doing things. Do you think this is OK..."

Jiang Dongliu was about to talk about joining the club and getting the signing fee when he saw Tang Zhi, who had a serious expression, walked towards them quickly.

Completely ignoring Jiang Dongliu's existence, Tang Zhi decided to stand in front of Qian Dachao, interrupted their conversation, and told Qian Dachao seriously: "What happened."

Qian Dachao had a premonition that Jiang Dongliu wanted to join their club, so he waved his hand at Tang Zhi: "Don't make trouble first, take this piano to Lao Li and let him put it away... Lao Jiang, let's continue to talk about ours."

While saying that, he held the guitar standing beside him to Tang Zhi and asked Tang Zhi to take the guitar to the equipment area and handed it over to Li Baoguo, who had returned to the other side to tinker with the instruments.

Tang Zhi didn't pick up the guitar and repeated his tone: "There's something wrong in the club!"

Seeing that Tang Zhi was quite serious, Jiang Dongliu felt that things were not simple, so he stood up tactfully and said to Qian Dachao: "I'll avoid it first."

Qian Dachao was worried that the opportunity to sign the contract would slip away from his hand, so he sat down for Jiang Dongliula and said enthusiastically: "No, just sit down, it's okay."

After saying that, he glared at Tang Zhi and retorted to her: "You haven't seen what I said. If you have anything to do, you'll talk about it later! If Lao Bai applies for the fee again, you can approve it for him and don't always get stuck."

"It's not this."

Tang Zhi looked at Jiang Dongliu coldly, and the meaning was very obvious, just to let Jiang Dongliu avoid it.

Qian Dachao pulled Jiang Dongliu's arm and refused to let Jiang Dongliu go: "Old Jiang, sit down, don't go anywhere, we haven't finished speaking yet."

As he said that, he winked at Tang Zhi, but instead asked Tang Zhi to avoid it first.

Tang Zhi was angry and stood still.

Put pressure on money with an uncompromising attitude.

Qian Dachao was helpless and spitted on Tang Zhi: "You are really delaying things. If you have anything, tell me!"

Tang Zhi didn't say anything and looked at Jiang Dongliu again.

Jiang Dongliu smiled bitterly, picking Qian Dachao grabbed his forearm's hard hand like a clamp: "I'd better go out for a walk, and we'll talk when you're done."

"Lao Jiang, sit down!"
