Chapter 689 More important is your guidance (2/2 Monthly Pass)
"Although it is said that we are preparing a proposal and will submit it to the next conference, you don't have to have high hopes. The issue of copyright protection has been around for a long time and cannot be solved overnight."
Li Guangmin saw the joy on Yang Qian's face, but still poured cold water on him.
Copyright management issues involve too many aspects, and even the Musical Writers Association cannot cover everything.
For example, the short video platform has emerged in recent years!
Although it seems that the other party has indeed changed its past mistakes, at the same time, through their platform, they have also paid a large amount of copyright fees to many music creators.
However, the problem of data opacity has also obviously harmed the interests of many musicians.
Not to mention the Beijing-style musicians who are at war, in order to protect his own interests, Yang Qian has to fight several lawsuits with short video platforms every year!
Of course, if the punishment is increased, this kind of disregard for copyright may be deterred to a certain extent, and the rights and interests of musicians can be better protected.
However, it took a long time to unify everyone's opinions internally, let alone promote higher-level legal reforms externally.
These will only be more difficult and time-consuming!
This is why Li Guangmin told Yang Qian that these cannot be solved overnight!
"I know, but, teacher, someone still has to do this! If we don't do it, our copyright will still not be protected. If we don't do it, there will be no revival of the music scene."
Yang Qian nodded.
He has firm beliefs and wants to do these things.
However, at present, he is still in a humble position, no one listens to what he says, and it doesn't work if he does what he does.
The only thing I can do is to sing more and slowly let myself grow from a new singer to an important musician in the music world.
We will work hard to promote these reforms when the time comes.
"The change in the system is only one aspect. The key is the change in the people's concept, from indifference to copyright to an emphasis on copyright. I think children's copyright awareness is much better now than before, which is a good signal.
"
Li Guangmin is not in a hurry, he is very optimistic.
"Well, indeed, and now there are many young musicians emerging in our country, including song writers and singers. It gives me the feeling that they are all working hard to change and make different music."
Yang Qian deeply agreed. He recognized the abilities of musicians of his generation.
After all, their living conditions are much better than those of the teacher’s generation. If they have been cultivated or influenced by music since childhood, they will naturally be more creative when they grow up.
"I'm just worried that the current market atmosphere is not right. If the interests of traditional musicians are not protected and everyone writes songs for the sake of traffic, and everyone sings informally for the sake of becoming popular, our next generation of children may be exposed to
Without good music, you won’t be able to sing well!”
Yang Qian worriedly told the teacher about his worries.
"It's up to your generation to do it. You have to write more good music so that your children can have good songs to listen to. The vitality of old songs and new songs is different, and they have different effects on young children.
They are also incomparable.
Good musicians can develop new music styles on their own and lead the market. You tell the children what kind of songs are good, rather than letting them use big data to speak for themselves!"
It has been a while since Li Guangmin seriously discussed these large and broad issues with his apprentice.
But Yang Qian now is different from Yang Qian who just left Yangcheng. He has come into contact with more people and things, and his perspective on problems has become more comprehensive.
Therefore, the old man chatted happily with Yang Qian, and he could also share some of his experiences and opinions with him.
"Although I can guide, like short video platforms, their big data cannot be affected by us. Moreover, the market trend is already such that songs written seriously will only be listened to by very few, but songs that are just words can become popular instantly.
Many music studios also write some saliva songs in an assembly-line manner, and even the same song will have multiple versions appearing one after another, which is very weird!"
Yang Qian sometimes feels powerless when faced with these big data.
Not every song of his is a hit. Although he thinks it sounds good and knows that these songs were once popular in another world, in their world and the elusive short video platform, Yang Qian often appears.
A good song is neither boring nor popular.
Of course, because Yang Qian is very prolific, he can hit a few hits from time to time, which can still drive the sales of other songs.
"Behind the big data of the market are real people, but it is their listening habits that guide the trends in these markets. The main reason why the slobber song is so popular is that its catchy melody is short and fast.
It can catch your ears instantly after editing! But really good songs are durable, can be listened to calmly, and are worth listening to repeatedly in the future. Why do you think you can reject these saliva songs, instead of following most people?
Same, are you willing to listen to it so many times in a short period of time?"
The old man threw the question back.
"Probably because I can tell that the writing of these songs is messy. Looking at the overall situation, their music is not written smoothly and is a mechanical copy of the formula. And the lyrics are also unable to withstand careful scrutiny... If
Listen without thinking, many people really like to listen, but I may not be able to do it, because their singing is also full of mistakes, and they still rely on post-production tuning. If your ears are more sensitive, you won't be able to listen at all."
Yang Qian originally wanted to say that he might still be able to hear it without using his brain, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't. The absolute pitch made him unable to stand those Internet celebrity singers who had very bad singing skills.
"So this is still the problem. Your musical literacy is no longer on the same level as that of ordinary audiences, so you insist on listening to good music instead of succumbing to big data and listening to gossip songs. I think, in this case,
The same thing happens to musicians with basic knowledge. They may watch short videos, but they probably won’t be interested in short video music that is not of high quality.”
Li Guangmin said with a smile.
"Yes, actually we don't watch short videos very much. Many of my fans also said that after listening to my songs, they no longer want to watch the so-called Internet celebrity singers on short videos and can't listen to them."
Yang Qian nodded.
"That is still a question of guidance and education! The lack of music education in our primary and secondary schools, or the failure to implement it in place, still has a great impact. Like many Western countries, their music market is very developed, and musicians,
The audience for music is quite tasteful.
The promotion of music knowledge is actually what I have been doing in the past ten years. But it is not enough! The scope of influence is too small. Yang Qian, you are now a nationally renowned singer, and you have the responsibility to guide in this area
, you have to shoulder it!"
What Li Guangmin actually wants to say is that Yang Qian leads by example and uses his solid singing skills to show the true colors of Internet celebrities and let the audience know what kind of singing is beautiful!
But what he said made Yang Qian stunned.
Yes, his influence is greater than I thought!
Just immersing yourself in making music seems to be unable to change the overall environment.
If you want the Chinese music scene to prosper, you still have to let the general environment improve and the soil that nurtures this market become fertile!
