FYN Chapter 22 is for you.
Chapter 22 is for you.
With the increasing sophistication of music software platforms, musicians can obtain corresponding copyright revenue through these platforms.
Baidu MP3 was launched in 02.
Qianqian Music Player was launched in 03.
Kugou Music was launched in 04.
QQ Music and Kuwo Music in 05.
There's also Tiantian Jingting, which Baidu acquired in 06.
The 07 edition of "Everyday Melodies".
At the same time, participating in music festivals, concerts and other events can also increase popularity and generate performance fees.
Second: Copyright Licensing and Cooperation Besides directly selling music, musicians can also license the copyright of their works to industries such as film, television, games, and gaming, and obtain copyright fees in return.
This kind of collaboration can not only bring musicians a stable source of income, but also expand the reach of their works and enhance their popularity.
In addition, collaborations with record companies, music producers, and other organizations can provide musicians with more development opportunities and financial support.
Third: The musician has gained a certain level of fame, and the songs he created have also become somewhat well-known and made it onto the charts.
Musicians can also earn considerable endorsement fees and GG income by participating in GG filming, brand promotion, and other activities.
At the same time, this collaboration can also provide musicians with more exposure opportunities, further enhancing their commercial value.
Fourthly, another way for original musicians to make money is through performances and live shows.
For example, performing in various venues such as bars, cafes, and music festivals can attract audience attention.
Original musicians can earn money through various means, including creating music novels, copyright licensing collaborations, music teaching and training, brand endorsements and collaborations with Google, performances and live shows, and online live streaming rewards.
of course.
In 07, the internet was not yet widespread in China.
Tipping live streamers is not allowed.
Even if you can stream it live, if you don't own the song copyright, even if you sing it...
If the copyright holder wants to sue you now, they can succeed.
This is why copyright is so important.
It can be said that the most important thing for a singer is whether or not they own the music copyrights.
Singers who can't compose are not a problem.
Because you can buy songs created by other people.
But what if a singer's song copyright is not held by the singer?
That singer is not only stupid and dumb, but also miserable.
The song "Who Are You" with lyrics by Ji Chuzhen and music by Zhang Yadong.
Jing Tian simply bought out the song copyright.
On QQ Music and Kugou Music, there are revenue streams for music videos and revenue streams.
Those all belong to Jing Tian alone.
If the copyright is not in Jing Tian's hands, then the lion's share is not in Jing Tian's hands.
Jing Tian understood this principle, which is why she bought the rights to Zhou Yang's song "The Wind Rises".
If Zhou Yang were to say that he only sells the songs, not the copyrights...
Jing Tian probably won't sing "The Wind Rises" unless she really likes it.
Zhou Yang's lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.
He was not prepared to sell to Jing Tian.
Instead, there is a much larger plan.
Let Jing Tian play the female lead in "Waiting for You at the End of Time".
The profits from a movie far exceed those from a piece of music.
After reading it, Zeng Jia exclaimed in horror:
"Wow, that's amazing! You not only wrote the lyrics, you also composed the music!"
"This melody is absolutely wonderful! Every word seems to be dancing on a mountaintop!"
Zhou Yang began to speak:
"Senior, you can sing too?"
Zeng Jia pouted and said:
"Of course I can, I just didn't sing, I was assisting our Tian Tian in singing."
"I believe you," Zhou Yang said, echoing Zeng Jia's sentiment.
as predicted.
Zeng Jia immediately beamed with joy, her eyes crinkling with delight.
Jing Tian joked:
"Junior, haven't you decided how much to sell it for yet?"
"I've almost memorized the lyrics?!"
"Hehe... Tian Tian, you're naughty again. How come you remember things so easily??"
Zeng Jia chuckled softly from the side.
"I was just trying to make my junior laugh, but honestly, I've almost memorized it myself."
Jing Tianyan said with a smile.
Zhou Yang finally spoke.
"Senior, I can't sell it to you."
"what……"
This surprised Jing Tian and Zeng Jia.
"The price can be increased a bit more at the point that the junior wants."
Seeing Zhou Yang's words, Jing Tian spoke without thinking.
Zhou Yang slowly shook his head again:
"It's not about the money."
"Then...can't we talk anymore?" Zeng Jia tried to smooth things over.
"Anything in the world is open to discussion."
"Hehe... Including buying the Eiffel Tower, if you have enough money, you can buy it too."
Zhou Yang touched the corner of his eye and chuckled.
"My senior is so funny."
"Junior, I really like the song you composed called 'The Wind Rises'."
Jing Tian's expression was solemn, with a hint of urgency.
Zhou Yang smiled.
If he doesn't tell Jing Tian he'll give it to her for free, she'll probably cry.
Whether a song is good or not, a singer like Jing Tian, who has sung songs before, can naturally tell at a glance.
"I can't sell the copyright entirely to my senior."
Jing Tian took a few deep breaths:
"Then forget it, I only want the copyright."
"Although I really like your song, I don't want it because it's copyrighted, and I won't take it."
Zhou Yang smiled gently:
"Don't rush, senior, you haven't finished speaking yet."
Jing Tian's expression was icy as she picked up her fair wrist and leaned back on the sofa.
"Tell me, I'd love to hear if there's anything left unsaid."
Zhou Yang stared intently at Jing Tian, his gaze deep, and said, word by word:
I said I wouldn't sell it to my senior.
"But... I can give it to my senior."
"What?!"
The words had barely left his lips.
Jing Tian and Zeng Jia were both shocked, their eyes wide open.
The two looked at each other, seemingly not understanding what Zhou Yang meant.
"What did you say? Give it to us... What are you really up to?"
Zeng Jia realized what was happening and asked, puzzled.
Zhou Yang spread his hands:
"I didn't have any ulterior motives. I can say that if I were a gourd, I would be transparent, and my senior could see right through me."
Zeng Jia frowned:
"But……
"But I can't see through you at all now. You're like a solid stainless steel gourd, completely unfathomable!!"
Jing Tian snorted coldly a few times:
"Junior, are you playing some kind of trick? You think we're fools? That's not so easy."
Zhou Yang shook his head vigorously:
"Senior, don't misunderstand."
"I can give it to you for free, including the copyright; everything belongs to my senior."
"I only have one small condition."
"Hmph, I knew you had conditions!" Zeng Jia slammed his hand on the table.
Jing Tian's brows furrowed slightly:
"Let him speak."
Zhou Yang slowly said:
My conditions are very simple.
"Let me film the music video for my senior's song 'The Wind Rises'."
"Um??"
The words fell.
The two of them froze again, their eyes filled with confusion.
Zeng Jia's expression shifted:
"I understand, junior. So that's what you were planning to do."
"Although the song copyright is free, the revenue from shooting the music video is still considerable."
"You saw that Tian Tian's 'Who Are You' music video surpassed 500 million plays on QQ Music, and you want a piece of the pie too!"
