At his desk, Li Qing was writing furiously, preparing for tomorrow's noon game.★
After a while, he put down the pen and paper, picked up the musical score formed in his hand, and walked out of the door towards the recording studio.
Two keyboard and sound engineers were waiting in the room, and their eyes lit up when they saw the simplified music score in Li Qing's hand.
They have experienced this scene a lot.
Basically, whenever the boss makes such a move, they know that another classic song is about to be released.
However, they are only responsible for recording and correction, but they dare not pay too much attention to the content of the song.
After the simple recording of the music was completed, Li Qing asked the others to leave, and he stayed in the recording studio to add fuel and vinegar to the newly released new song and improve it.
At this time, Liu Qin walked in and said, "Sister Wei, I have something to ask you."
Li Qing hummed, then stood up, marked the copied cassette, and handed the cassette to Liu Qin before leaving: "This is the song for the competition tomorrow."
Hearing this, Liu Qin nodded quickly and took the cassette in his hand carefully, preparing to keep it safe.
But when she saw a piece of scratch paper placed on the keyboard instrument in the recording studio, she couldn't help but be curious and stepped forward to take a look.
Then I saw lines of criss-crossing fonts written on it.
They look like lyrics, but because the font is scrawled and blurred, the specific content is unclear.
"Simple, simple way of speaking..."
"I'm free to do whatever you want..."
"Your acting skills are limited, and you don't need to say a speech..."
Hey, what a mess...
Liu Qin couldn't laugh or cry. Compared with Li Qing's previous songs, the lyrics of this song couldn't be more straightforward.
However, what puzzled Liu Qin the most was that at the top corner of the draft, those two clear large characters came into view openly.
"actor"?
Could it be Leng Ling's "Actor"?
However, these messy lyrics seem to be different from Leng Ling's "Actor"...
Liu Qin thought for a while, then took the draft paper in his hand, stood up and left.
On the other side, Li Qing came to the general manager's office and saw Gu Dahui, whom he had met before, walking out of the office dejectedly.
When he saw himself, Gu Dahui's expression didn't change at all, and he just passed by.
Li Qing glanced at him, a little confused, then shook his head, turned around and pushed the door open.
Zhou Shuo sat on his desk and said without raising his head: "This is the bill sent by the mobile company. Take a look at it. If there is no doubt, I will sign it. It will save you a long night and a lot of dreams."
Li Qing stepped forward and picked up the report and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This is an on-demand sharing bill for the mobile ring back tones business from June last year to June this year.
Because mobile operators launched the CRBT service last year, when some mobile phone users make calls, as long as the other party has activated the CRBT service, they can hear the CRBT song requested by the called user.
The full name of CRBT is "Personalized Colorful Ringback Tone Service".
When a user activates the ring-back tone service, as long as he requests a song, and only pays two yuan per month, the original single call tone can be turned into a cool ring-back tone mode when the user's mobile phone receives a call.
Since its launch, the service has become very popular and is deeply loved by the majority of mobile phone users.
Different from the free model of the radio song request list, mobile operators give a part of the channel copyright fees to the songs that are requested in the ring tones business, but this part of the fee is pitifully small.
The so-called channel fee is a rather vague concept. In this regard, China Mobile accounts for three-quarters of the channel operating fee.
For example, if a song is priced at two yuan a month, then Mobile First will take away 1.5 yuan first.
The remaining 0.5 yuan will be divided 82% between China Mobile and the copyright owner.
That is, if a song is requested once, the copyright owner will get a profit of 0.1 yuan.
What can you do with a dime?
This may seem like exploitation, but when a song is played millions of times, it adds up to a pretty huge profit.
At least on the other hand, mobile operators are much more benevolent than those paid radio stations. At least with mobile, you can still get a share.
As for radio stations, users have to pay an on-demand fee of two yuan for every song they request.
But the copyright owner cannot get these two dollars at all.
…
The bill in Li Qing's hand is the on-demand ring tones data from June last year to June this year, as well as the final sales sharing bill.
Among them, "Fly Higher" has the highest number of views, with more than 7 million views.
Based on the profit sharing of 10 cents per song, Li Qing's copyright share for the song "Fly Higher" alone is almost more than 700,000 yuan.
After deducting taxes, it's probably over 600,000.
Other songs, such as "Angel Wings", "Ordinary Road", "Trouble with the Moon" and other classic songs, are also between 1 million and 6 million respectively.
Of course, most of the songs have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, and the song with the lowest number of views is "Exaggerated", which is only over 100,000 times.
Adding up the share of all song on-demand fees, Li Qing, as the copyright owner of these songs, made a profit of more than 11 million in just one year.
This number stunned Li Qing.
Anyone would be dumbfounded if he got 10 million for no reason.
You know, during this period of time, Li Qing himself, working hard for a whole year, only made so little profit...
"Don't be happy too early."
Zhou Shu took a sip of tea and then sighed: "I don't know if I can get this part of the money yet. Even if I get it, I guess it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey."
"Why?" Li Qing suddenly became unhappy. This is ten million, not one thousand, and not ten thousand!
"China Mobile probably didn't expect the ringtone business to be so profitable. They have great internal differences. Some people say that they don't need to care about copyright. After all, the country's conditions are like this. They want to imitate the radio station. Others insist on giving singers a share. These two parts
People are not good at each other. One side represents the mobile operators, and the other side represents the influential seniors in the music industry. The current situation is that the two sides are in a stalemate. As for whether we can get the money as soon as possible, we can only rely on the veterans in the music industry.
Thanks to the efforts of our seniors.”
Zhou Shu paused and then said: "However, the news I got recently is not optimistic. China Mobile has begun to restrict the on-demand playback of some popular ring tones. It is said that it is going to carry out internal rectification. During this period, there have been many
Singers have already received business negotiations from China Mobile. If they want to use China Mobile's ringback tones on-demand platform, they can, but the copyright owner can only choose a buyout situation. The previous ringtone sharing model is no longer feasible."
"As far as I know, for some songs that rank quite high on the radio on-demand charts, the highest buyout price is basically no more than 10,000. Hao Ren, a wandering singer who previously performed on "Best Singer",
Isn't the original single "Crazy" very popular recently? It has already entered the top ten of the song list, but the buyout price offered by China Mobile is only 7,000 yuan."
Looking at Li Qing's stunned look, Zhou Shu helplessly spread his hands: "What is capital? Mobile operators are the representatives in this regard, greedy and greedy. These people never consider the position of the singers at the bottom, even if Hao Ren is still here
Living in the basement.”
"Then did he sell it?" Li Qing asked.
Zhou Shu nodded and said: "Sold for 7,000 yuan... For a wandering singer, this is an astronomical figure. He may not earn so much in a year."——
