When they learned that Daji was going to sing "Today Next Year", the director team was very surprised.
Because according to information, the original author of the song "Next Year Today" is none other than Han Sen from the band Jinghong.
This behavior of wielding a sword in front of Guan Gong left Liao Yuan, Lin Songbai and others speechless.
They didn't think Daji's second adaptation would be that good. After all, the entire director team has now seen the strength of King Lanling.
Several attempts to dissuade me.
But Daji insisted.
Therefore, the director team had no choice but to entrust colleagues from the Copyright Purchasing Department to go to the China Music and Writers Association to buy the commercial performance copyright of the song "Next Year Today", spending a total of 500,000 in copyright fees.
The Music Writers Association stipulates that you need to pay a certain fee to use the copyright of other people's works in commercial performances. The copyright fee is usually in the range of hundreds of thousands per performance, which is almost the same as the pricing of Han Sen's previous Music Writers Association.
However, there are also top song works that are priced a little higher, but generally will not exceed 500,000 yuan per performance.
All works under Han Sen's name have registered copyrights.
So, want to use these songs.
First, the copyright fee of 500,000 yuan before tax needs to be paid to Hansen in full.
Second, it requires the consent of Han Sen himself.
During the "Music Star" period in Hong Kong, because he was too short of money, when registering the copyright for songs such as "Friendship Years", "Today Next Year", and "Glory Years", Han Sen chose to agree to others' use by default and left it in the bank.
The card number is convenient for payment after tax deduction.
But it may be because the price is too high. You need to pay 500,000 for one use in commercial performances.
So no one uses it easily so far.
Even though these songs are popular all over Hong Kong and TVB Jade Channel rebroadcasts them every week, they still can't attract the singer's willingness to cover them.
Too expensive.
The "King of Masked Singer" program team has a lot of money, so as long as the contestants are willing, they have no scruples, so the copyright purchase went smoothly. After deducting 20% of the royalties, the Music and Writers Association will remit the remaining money directly to South Korea.
Sen personal account.
According to the "Individual Income Tax Law", after deducting 20% of royalties from royalties, the balance is taxed at a tax rate of 20%.
If Han Sen checked his bank card now, he would find that an extra 420,000 yuan was added to his account out of thin air.
This is called passive income.
It is an income that can be obtained automatically without spending much time and energy, or requiring care.
And those talent shows on the market will basically not consider songs that cost three to five million.
Being able to spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy some outdated songs and sing them for some new and young singers is already very benevolent.
There are so many program groups that cannot afford the copyright fees that they choose to "cut it off" during post-production.
That is to say, when many programs play songs, because they do not have copyright, they directly and crudely choose to code and silence the songs, completely ignoring the audio-visual experience of the audience.
After all, not every show can be as generous and generous as "The Masked Singer".
The result of this is that this program took off immediately after it was launched, and now it is quite popular all over the world.
What the director team particularly likes about King Lanling is that this friend never lets the program team worry about copyright fees. All songs are original, and the first one is a masterpiece and the first one is a hit.
Therefore, in terms of stage design and special effects, the director team was very willing to spend money on King Lanling, and the effects presented were extraordinary, almost crushing their opponents.
The audio-visual experience brought to the audience is also more direct.
…
"Now, the final votes have been collected."
"Next, announce the final number of votes!"
Zhan Qixian opened the envelope in his hand, took a look at it, and then read: "First of all, Daji, "Tomorrow Today", the final number of votes is: 777 votes!"
Daji's heels weakened slightly and she almost fell to the ground.
The entire audience instantly cheered, screamed, and applauded one after another, completely regardless of Daji's personal feelings.
"Awesome! Haha, there are actually 777 votes!"
"I can't understand Cantonese at all. Although the lyrics of this song are indeed beautiful, "The Wind Rises" is my favorite!"
"The lyrics of "The Wind Rises" are so awesome, forever God!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand "Next Year Today" at all, but "The Wind Rises" struck a chord with me. When I listened to that song, I thought of myself traveling for many years, pulling my suitcase home and wearing headphones.
Close your eyes, blow the country wind, and recall the scenes of childhood..."
"The future is really more important than any love between children! How love comes and goes is so annoying!"
"Hahaha, 777 votes, we will definitely lose!"
"The eternal god of King Lanling! Everyone else is here to compete, but King Lanling is here to play. Look how happy he is! Choosing songs is not for the purpose of winning. He can obviously sing "Billie Jean"
It’s a divine song that blows the audience away, but it just wants to show a different style and make more explorations and breakthroughs in music!”
"Oh, when you think about it, it's true that you don't care about winning or losing at all!"
“Lanlan is great!!”
"Look at him standing there swaying, is he asleep? He looks like he wants to get off work early... This is a critical moment, the votes are being read out!"
The entire audience shouted loudly, and a girl with a very high voice even shouted anxiously: "Lanlan, wake up, be serious!"
The whole studio burst into laughter.
The director focused the camera on the mask of Prince Lanling. Liao Yuan looked carefully and found that Prince Lanling actually closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was speechless for a moment.
"Is our show really weak? Is there no one who can compete with Prince Lanling?"
Liao Yuan asked quietly.
"This...really exists!"
Shi Zhengyang coughed: "Vajra with Angry Eyes."
Liao Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "No, I feel bad for him no matter where he comes or goes."
"Gabriel can do it too," Lin Songbai reminded.
Liao Yuan's eyes lit up. In his opinion, although Gabriel is a top singer in the industry and is almost as popular and status-wise as King Kong in the world, in terms of strength and explosive power on the spot, King Lanling is obviously stronger.
If King Lanling plays "Billie Jean" again, which spans the century, then even Gabriel will probably have to kneel down.
At this moment, the people in the judging panel also yawned:
"Hurry up and announce it. Why is the host taking so long? Do you think the result will be suspenseful?"
"Are you trying to extend your time?"
"Is there still a reversal? Daji only got 777 votes. Even if someone abstains from voting, the number of votes for King Lanling is still more than 1,000 votes."
"The strongest has its own strong hand! Daji has always received more than a thousand votes in the past. Today, when she met King Lanling, she was beaten so hard that she couldn't resist."
"Prince Lanling is so awesome!"
"With the "Billie Jean" apotheosis scene, even if King Lanling stood there and didn't move, he would have received more than 777 votes!"
The guests urged me.
Only Zhang Mianduo was staring at the stage without blinking at this moment, feeling excited. Looking back on the scenes in these episodes, he became more and more admirable for King Lanling.
My brother-in-law is so awesome!
…
Zhan Qixian obviously felt that there was no suspense anymore. After the scene calmed down, he opened another envelope and read directly: "Prince Lanling, "The Wind Rises" received a total of 1,219 votes. Congratulations to Prince Lanling.
If you win this game, please give your victory speech!"
Under everyone's excited eyes.
As if he had just woken up, King Lanling walked forward slowly, stood in front of the microphone stand, pondered for a while, and then said: "I wish all the students who are about to graduate and have graduated, all the best!"
"Wait for the wind to rise, for the flowers to fall, and for us to meet again."
"I hope you can come to my concert by then."
"Thank you, I'm done."
