Chapter 270 The New Chinese King and Album Copyright

"If I can't blush when I say goodbye, can I still have red eyes..."

Xu Yang stretched out his hand from inside the quilt, fumbled around the pillow a few times, and turned off the alarm clock.

This is the alarm clock Liu Shishi set for him, and it uses a song he sang, which can be considered a kind of bad taste.

Xu Yang returned to the capital after his death in the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Shishi was also with him.

The main thing was to take her for a walk around Talent Co., Ltd. and let everyone know the proprietress, and then Xu Yang had a meal at Liu Shishi's house the next day.

On the third day, Liu Shishi left the capital and returned to the Magic City, so he really just followed Xu Yang back for a walk and a trip home.

This was what Xu Yang forced her to do, otherwise Liu Shishi would be too lazy to do anything.

After all, they were going to live together in the future, so Xu Yang felt there was no need to hide it from the person next to him.

The most important thing is that Xu Yang believes that Liu Shishi cannot cheat him, she will not be Ma Rong or Li Xiaolu.

Liu Shishi left, leaving behind a tired Xu Yang.

At this time, Xu Yang realized that girls with good flexibility are really hard for ordinary people to carry.

"It's necessary to buy some supplements..."

Xu Yang looked at his slightly haggard self in the mirror, held his waist and made up his mind.

"How can this beautiful body be damaged by beauty and staying up late? Get up early and go to bed early today!"

Your appearance has nothing to do with beauty, right?

Having said that, there is also a reason for the alarm clock Liu Shishi set for Xu Yang.

It has been several days since the new album was fully released, and the overall trend is developing well.

The most popular song is definitely "The Ordinary Road". This song is second to none in terms of popularity and quality.

Below are the two songs "Xiaochou" and "Youth and Promise", which are respectively ranked second and third on the most searched songs list on major music platforms.

This is also to be expected. After all, the quality and popularity of these two songs are not bad. Coupled with the first-mover advantage, it is understandable that they are at the forefront.

But the fourth place is not "You Were a Boy" which was first released, but "Little Lucky" which was released at the end along with the rest of the songs from the new album.

In this regard, Xu Yang can only say that she still underestimated the impact of this song on middle school students, especially female students.

Many fans who were just passers-by inexplicably felt more fond of Xu Yang after listening to this song.

I already had a good impression of Xu Yang, and after hearing this, I immediately became a fan and became a member of the Little Yangshu.

There is also a tendency for black fans to turn from black to white. After all, except for some celebrities, the largest proportion of black fans are always students or even female students.

And the song that ranked fifth in the entire album was "Someone Like Me", which was also a song that came from behind.

However, more people still go there for the title of the companion volume to "Xiaochou".

However, there is one thing to say: the former is obviously of better quality and more mature, but more people like "Xiaochou".

Xu Yang guessed that there are two possibilities. One is to take the opportunity to vent one's emotions. This kind of "Relief of Sorrow" is more suitable than "Someone Like Me".

The other is that they like things with flaws. After all, nothing is perfect. The closer it is to perfection, the less outstanding the whole thing will be.

Unless it's an almost perfect song like "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" or "The Ordinary Road", critical people can say they don't like it, but judging from the content alone, they can't fault it.

Dead duck.

The opposite is "Xiaochou", which has obvious advantages and disadvantages. Xiao Heizi will say that this song is too ordinary and too popular, but people who like it will like it for various reasons, and most people who don't like it will come here.

Just go.

And sandwiched in the middle, "Someone Like Me", which was deliberately produced towards the level of perfection, has no obvious shortcomings, but there is no comparison of its advantages. Instead, it is a bit mediocre in everyone's eyes.

Among the songs on the album, the song that is behind this song in terms of popularity and playback is "You Were a Boy". This song is as Xu Yang expected.

This is an excellent song, and the inner meaning of the song is also excellent, but the obvious problem is that it lacks stamina.

Therefore, Xu Yang put this song in the first release based on the potential of the content. If it really wanted to put it on the line later along with the other songs, then it would definitely be worth it.

Then came "Light Chaser" and "Sparrow". By now the popularity has become normal, but it is still as popular as the title song of a new album by a first-line singer.

After all, the recommendation of the whole network is not limited. You can enjoy the resources that others envy for the entire album or more.

The following songs cannot be said to be crotchless, but compared to the previous songs, both the popularity and quality are not as good, so it is reasonable to give them less resources.

But even so, the resources received by each song, even the most popular one, are equivalent to the resources remaining in the entire album of a first-line singer except for the title song.

In other words, Xu Yang's album called "The Ordinary Road" is actually the least popular one and has the level of the title song of a first-tier singer.

After the entire album was released, everyone probably knew the popularity and quality of the ten songs.

Four of the songs are phenomenal songs, three are quasi-phenomenal songs, and three are high-quality hits.

This kind of album is very rare to come across in ten years, let alone this year, and there may not be one in the future.

Because Xu Yang collected all the famous songs in the Chinese music scene in the next ten years, he created this special album.

So even a cheater like Xu Yang will definitely not be able to put together an album with this kind of lineup in the future, let alone one without cheaters.

If an album with this price really appears in the future, then he must be cheating.

While the overall popularity of the new album continues to rise, countless old songs by Xu Yang have also been covered.

Whether it is the heartfelt and tearful "Father" and "Where Has the Time Gone", or the sad "Suddenly Missing You So Much", "Say Good Not to Cry", "Cheers", and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"

A number of phenomenal songs such as "The Wind Rises" and "Chasing Dreams" have taken on new life this year.

The scene at this time is almost exactly the same as when Milk Tea Week released an album after seven years. Milk Tea Week relied on the status and memories accumulated over the years. Xu Yang really used his strength to open up the situation this time.

Of course, the biggest profit from the new album is still the music platforms, which have completely opened up digital music channels.

Among them, Penguin Music has made the most money, not only making the cake bigger, but also eating the most.

Because the online copyrights of Xu Yang's previous songs were all owned by Penguin Music, and the total copyright fees for five years were 1.5 billion. Now it seems that he has indeed made money by buying them.

After all, just based on Penguin Music’s increased market share, Xu Yang’s old songs are worth the price.

Of course, it can't all be smooth sailing. On the fifth day after the new album was released, Penguin Music negotiated with other music platforms.

In the end, it is not clear what price Penguin Music paid, but as a result, after Penguin Music was released, all other regular music platforms except Xu Yang’s new album were removed from the shelves.

Xu Yang even speculated that once the limelight of the new album has passed, he will be able to negotiate some benefits through the copyright of his songs.

Because only Penguin Music, a music platform, controls all of Xu Yang’s music copyright, this is unrealistic and impossible.

The most likely result is to eliminate the music platforms that pose the greatest threat to Penguin Music, and then license it to smaller music platforms again.

The fees for these small platforms to purchase the copyright of Desire are naturally paid by the small platforms themselves, and they even have to share a little bit with Xu Yang.

Because of this, Xu Yang not only did not stop it, but was happy to see it happen.

If you can make money lying down, who can kneel down?!

This is also the main reason why Xu Yang sold almost all of his music copyright to Penguin Music.

From 2010 to 2016, the music copyright system went from chaos to perfection. It was even more chaotic than the 2000s.

Because at this time, it is not only a confrontation between singers, but also a confrontation between platforms.

Even the confrontation between singers does not seem so important in the face of the confrontation between platforms.

After all, no matter how strong a singer is, he is only one person, but the platform is related to the interests and needs of countless singers.

A company as powerful as Milk Tea Week cannot compete with the platform on its own, but if the platform operates singers with the price of Milk Tea Week to compete with other music platforms, the effect will be no less than a nuclear bomb.

Although today's Xu Yang has not yet reached the level of a nuclear bomb like the Milk Tea Week, after all, his qualifications are still far behind, and his time is also seven or eight years behind.

But no matter how you calculate it, it should be the price of an intercontinental missile, and its strategic deterrence status is also good.

Therefore, it is definitely one of the best plans for Xu Yang to hand over the copyright to Penguin Music for operation in recent years. As the final winner of many music platforms, Penguin Music’s consistent approach is to buy, buy, buy. Penguin Music’s wealth is its label.

Why the three giants of Penguin Music have such a high status in the hearts of music fans in later generations is not only because their music styles are unique, but also because Penguin Music is so popular.

But now that Xu Yang is here, what are the three music giants, please step aside!

Xu Yang believes that these copyrights he owns can be used by Penguin Music, and it is not impossible to even rely on them to support his retirement.

But if it were him, it would be impossible to have such a result, because Xu Yang is just a person, and behind the platform is capital.

While Xu Yang's new album is making a killing, the Chinese music scene has fallen into a state of silence.

Xu Yang really shocked everyone this time. Whether it is from the quality of the album, the popularity of the album, or the resources behind the album, it seems that there are only a few people who can rival Xu Yang at the moment.

In history, those who have achieved such achievements as Xu Yang are all the current kings, queens, kings and queens of singers. Many of them are already the senior celebrities of the last century.

Since the New World, it seems that only Milk Tea Zhou has achieved such results.

So no matter how many awards Xu Yang's album receives next year, at least in the music world, Xu Yang has been truly crowned the king, and a new Chinese king has been born.

Although some people thought that Xu Yang was only in his early twenties, they had nothing to say.

Five albums in five years, except for only half of the album in 2009, among the other four albums, the one with the lowest popularity also has two phenomenal songs, "Because of Love" and "The Year in a Hurry".

Just this one album is enough to scare countless people in the Chinese music world, not to mention that there are three albums whose quality and popularity are far higher than this one.

So even though Xu Yang is only in his early twenties, why do people have objections to him being crowned the new Chinese King?

The results of four and a half albums are here, who questions? Who objects?

And just when Xu Yang's new album is making great progress and his old songs are rejuvenating, Penguin Music has someone coming.

The purpose of the visit is also very clear, they are here for the copyright of Xu Yang's new album.

After all, the popularity on the Internet is so high. If we don’t get the album copyright, there will be no place to cry if someone else gets on Penguin Music first.

Of course, this time they still used the krypton gold method and gave Xu Yang a price that was hard to refuse.

"Zheng Yuan once had a song worth 100 million yuan. Even though there are factors of the times, it is enough to illustrate the value of his music."

"However, times have changed, and it is indeed difficult to say that one song costs 100 million yuan, but half a million yuan is not bad."

The people from Penguin Music were sitting here, talking calmly and calmly, as if they were not talking about a big project with a unit of 100 million, but something worth tens of dollars in a store.

You’ve really made up your mind!

Xu Yang sighed inwardly, but he had to admit that the other party did have such confidence and strength.

As the most popular song of the new album, "The Ordinary Road", Penguin Music plans to buy out the copyright for four years with 50 million, while the slightly less popular "Song of Sorrow" and "Youth and Promise" are worth 30 million for four years.

"Little Lucky" is 25 million and 4 years old, "Someone Like Me", "Sparrow" and "You Were a Boy" are all 15 million and 4 years, and the remaining three songs are all 10 million and 4 years.

Year.

The total copyright of the ten songs in the entire album is nearly 200 million, which is more expensive than the total copyright of all the songs that Xu Yang discussed last year.

Of course, the market price changes every year, and Xu Yang knows this, but the price given by the other party is really too high, scary.

"Director Lin, just tell me. If you have any other requests, I will agree to it." Xu Yang replied with a wry smile.

Director Lin smiled slightly. After Xu Yang said these words, his basic task had been completed.

"We have no special requirements. We just hope that Mr. Xu Yang will give us limited consideration when his copyright expires in four years."

Hearing this, the expression on Xu Yang's face became more complicated. Sure enough, no one is a fool. They had already seen through Xu Yang's thoughts.

But, so what, anyway, the beneficiaries are ultimately Penguin Music and other music platforms, and Xu Yang just drank the soup along.

Now that Penguin Music is giving him face, Xu Yang naturally has to continue. Do you really think you have a lot of weight?

"This is natural. Four years later, I believe the market and the times will make the right choice."

Director Lin stood up with a smile and said, "Then, happy cooperation."

“A pleasure to work with.”
