"Now that domestic legal awareness is gradually increasing, those pirates will not be able to be arrogant for long. You don't have to focus on this. The only business is to make your own music well." Ma Xuyi warned.
"Yes, sooner or later, the government will have to manage this kind of thing. Such huge loopholes and profits will be dealt with sooner or later when the government frees up its hands." Bao Yunyun said seriously, she firmly believed that sooner or later the government would rectify all this, as if it were a
A lovely and upright patriotic young woman.
Li Qing did not refute, but nodded feebly.
Judging from the experience gained in his previous life, pirates will not be able to be arrogant for long, because the Internet era is coming soon, and the more harmful online pirate BAT is about to rise. Practice has proved that physical pirates really can't compete with online pirates.
…
"However, there is a piece of news recently that makes people in the industry very excited."
Ma Xuyi said with a smile: "Nowadays, people's lives are getting better and better, and channels for attracting money from the emerging industry of mobile phones have gradually been developed."
Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Ring tone business?"
Ma Xuyi glanced at Li Qing in surprise, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is a color ring. It has the same purpose as the song on demand on the radio, but it is more convenient in ordering songs, and with the possession of
There are more and more mobile phone users, and the profits therein are getting bigger and bigger. More importantly, they are not like radio stations, which are scattered and difficult to deal with. The ring back tone business is the only mobile operator.
It has a unique on-demand function, and as a state-owned enterprise, China Mobile will not openly hide tricks in this regard. Therefore, once a copyrighted song is requested by a user, part of the revenue generated will naturally be divided among the copyright holders.
Under the name..."
Li Qing felt a little excited. This was indeed a good way to attract money. In his previous life, when mobile phones had not yet entered the wireless era, setting favorite songs as ringtones for incoming calls was a must-have for everyone. It was both trendy and fashionable.
Among them, there are many singers who earn hundreds of millions from the on-demand ring tones business alone.
"Lao Ma, let's not talk about these things for now, don't forget about business."
At this time, Jiang Zhongnan reminded him from the side.
Ma Xuyi smiled: "I know, it's still early, there's no need to rush."
"Why don't you worry? You think I'm worried about you. I'm worried about our Qingzi. Qingzi is now in the top ten of the national radio song on-demand rankings. Do you understand the top ten? Do you think anyone can be in the top ten?"
Jiang Zhongnan chuckled: "Besides, Qingzi will participate in the recording of the "Music Star" program tomorrow. As for your affairs, please stop gossiping and keep the story short. However, there are some things you must say..."
Jiang Zhongnan gave up and smiled mysteriously at Li Qing.
Li Qing was confused.
Seeing this, Ma Xuzhen gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and then said to Li Qing: "Qingzi, I came here specifically for you and Yunyun."
Li Qing nodded, as if he was all ears.
Ma Xuyi continued: "Maybe you also know that I am an agent and producer. I have been unemployed since the band Windmill disbanded..."
Li Qing cheered up, knowing that the drama was coming.
"Yunyun, this kid, has honed her singing skills well in the past few years as an underground singer. To be honest, her voice is very spiritual. She can easily move people's hearts when she sings folk songs. The only shortcoming is her style.
It's too fixed and only suitable for ballads! So people who like her will definitely like her to death, while people who don't like her may not even look at her." Ma Xuyi commented.
Li Qing looked at Bao Yunyun who was silent and said quickly: "I like Sister Yunyun's voice very much..."
Bao Yunyun chuckled and glared at Li Qing charmingly: "You brat, is my sister so scary? There's no need to flatter me. I know my own affairs."
Li Qing looked embarrassed.
Jiang Zhongnan laughed heartily from the side.
Ma Xuyi shook his head: "Although we have already negotiated, I have also decided to bring Yunyun out in the near future. I have prepared her packaging and publicity directions. Everything has been anticipated. Just make some preparations.
Although I started recording a record, I still feel in my heart that she lacks a fire, a fire that can really make her burn."
"What do you mean?" Li Qing said thoughtfully.
Ma Xuyi smiled, glanced at Jiang Zhongnan, and then said: "Qingzi, I heard your song "Sudden Self" sung by Yunyun when I came here.
It’s pretty good, and it brings out the feeling of a blazing fire..."
At this time, Jiang Zhongnan suddenly stood up, with an angry look on his face: "Old Ma, what do you mean? If you want to go with this song, what will Qingzi sing?"
As he said that, his expression changed slightly: "Aren't you going to take Qingzi with you?"
Bao Yunyun was also stunned.
Li Qing looked at all this with some silence.
Ma Xuyi picked up the wine glass and took a sip quietly. After Jiang Zhongnan finished asking questions in one breath, he said: "Old Jiang, Qingzi is indeed a good young talent, but I have also considered and understood it carefully. Now I want to recruit Qingzi, no matter what.
suitable."
"What's inappropriate? What's inappropriate? What did you say before, and then you regretted it when it came to the matter? Why did you beat me up? Well, if you don't want to help, just say so, don't deal with those vain people." Jiang Zhongnan was angry.
road.
Bao Yunyun also begged: "Brother Ma, why don't you recruit Qingzi too? His songs are on the top ten of the national radio song on-demand rankings, and his potential is greater than mine..."
"It's just because he was in the top ten of the rankings that I said it was inappropriate."
Ma Xuyi was a little angry: "Do you know how much it costs to poach a young man now? If you poach him, let alone you releasing records, I will have to drink the northwest wind!"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhongnan was stunned for a moment. He knew that Ma Xuyi was worth a million or two million in liquidated damages.
"I just got the news that Qingzi's contract with Yuanzheng Media is an A-level contract, which is only one level lower than the S-level contract. This is a contract for first-line singers. At the beginning, Yuanzheng Media trained Qingzi according to the treatment of first-line singers, and
If the liquidated damages for a Grade A contract are not more than 10 million, it is impossible to get them."
"Ten million..." Jiang Zhongnan was startled.
Bao Yunyun was also stunned. Ten million... This number is a bit far away. Her current deposit is only ten or twenty thousand...
Hearing this price, Li Qing was a little stunned. He did not doubt the authenticity of Ma Xuyi's source, because according to what he knew, the contract signed by his predecessor was indeed a so-called A-level artist contract, but he did not expect it at all.
, this artist’s liquidated damages are so high!
This is only 1997!
Ten million is comparable to hundreds of millions in future generations!
Li Qing felt that his throat was a little angry. He was quiet for a while and then said: "Brother Xiao Ma, this matter is nothing. If it were me, I wouldn't sign mine."
"As long as you understand." Ma Xuyi sighed: "Actually, if you didn't participate in "Music Star" and didn't sing the song "Angel Wings", Mr. Gu of Yuanzheng Media might have sold me a favor.
Two million will let you go..."
He hesitated to speak. If Li Qing had not participated in "Music Star" and had not sang "Angel Wings", would he still be sitting here talking to him calmly today?
The answer is naturally no.
So he changed his tune and comforted him: "Actually, you don't have to be discouraged. You have now shown your talent and value. As long as Yuanzheng Media is not stupid, they will definitely praise you again, even if you are with them
It doesn't matter if things don't go your way, you still have two years left on your contract, you're still young, and there are plenty of opportunities."
Li Qing nodded and said nothing more.
Jiang Zhongnan and Bao Yunyun were silent.
Seeing that none of them spoke, Ma Xuyi said awkwardly: "Qingzi, look at that song of yours..."
"Brother Xiao Ma, although "Sudden Self" is a good song, I don't think it is suitable for Sister Yunyun." Li Qing organized his thoughts, raised his head, and said seriously.
Ma Xuyi's expression changed.
Jiang Zhongnan looked at Li Qing and sighed. He had decided that he would not interfere with the choice made by his little brother, no matter whether it was right or wrong.
Bao Yunyun looked at Li Qing, then at Ma Xuyi, who looked ugly, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, I myself feel that Qingzi's songs are not suitable for me..."
"No, Sister Yunyun."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Li Qing woke up and realized that his tone was not straightforward enough. He quickly said: "Although "Sudden Self" is not suitable for you, I have other songs. Isn't it ballads that you are good at?"
"You mean...you can also sing folk songs?" Ma Xuzhen couldn't believe it.
"Folk music and rock music are just different paths leading to the same destination!" Li Qing smiled and said to Bao Yunyun, "Sister Yunyun, go get me a guitar."
When Bao Yunyun heard this, she quickly got up and went to get her guitar.
After a while, an acoustic guitar appeared in Li Qing's hand.
Under the attention of Ma Xuyi and others, Li Qing cleared his throat, sat on the sofa in the box, and calmly tuned his guitar.
After a while, a burst of smooth playing sounded, and at the same time, Li Qing's slightly hoarse yet clear voice sounded.
"That laughter
Reminds me of my flowers
in my life
Every corner is quietly open for me
I thought
I will always stay by her side
Today we have left
In the vast sea of people
Are they all old?
where are they
fortunately
I once accompanied them to open..."
Listening to Li Qing's melodious voice, Ma Xuyi and Jiang Zhongnan felt as if an electric current flashed through their bodies. They stood up in unison, with a hint of shock in their eyes.
Bao Yunyun's eyes were bright, looking at Li Qing who was playing and singing, and listening to the whispered singing, unknowingly, there was a slight ripple in his heart.
