"Teacher Li, we are from Starlight Entertainment Company, and we would like to invite you to join our company..."
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested!"
Li Xiaojun directly rejected the invitation from Starlight Entertainment Company.
Ever since he started posting song scores online to find collaborators, he has been contacted by many people starting from the second month. They all wanted to invite him to join their organizations.
At first, it was just studios like live broadcasting guilds.
Later on, even entertainment companies started inviting him.
Now, even Extreme Desolation Star's Starlight Entertainment Company, one of the top ten entertainment companies, has sent people to invite him.
"Teacher, do you know how much damage you have caused to Starlight by posting songs online?" Upon hearing Li Xiaojun's refusal, the people from Starlight stared at him with intense eyes.
"What's the matter? I'm posting my own songs online. How can that cause damage to you? Are you trying to say that the money I earn is your loss?"
Li Xiaojun almost burst out laughing at the other party's words.
"By posting song scores online, some of our company's composers started imitating you, which resulted in our company losing at least hundreds of millions..."
"What does that have to do with me? If you can't even control your own company's composers, how can you blame me?" Li Xiaojun showed no mercy.
He naturally knew that many composers were imitating him by posting song scores online, but what did that have to do with him?
Moreover, in the cultivation world, the income and status of composers were similar to those on Earth.
In the profits generated by a song, composers only received a small portion, while the majority went to the company and the singers.
By collaborating with others like Li Xiaojun did, he could ensure that most of the profits from a song would be in his hands.
For a composer who wrote an excellent song, if they followed the development model of entertainment companies, they might only receive a buyout fee, which could be a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan at most.
But if they followed Li Xiaojun's model of collaborating with others, they would receive a huge share of the income.
As long as the quality of the song was excellent, this income would be a thousand times better than selling the song to an entertainment company.
Li Xiaojun earned billions from a dozen or so songs, which meant he earned nearly a hundred million from each song.
Could a song be sold to an entertainment company for over a billion? It was unlikely that any entertainment company would buy it.
Many composers saw that Li Xiaojun's model could make money, so they followed suit and imitated him.
However, by imitating him, the ones suffering the most were indeed the entertainment companies.
Originally, most of the profits from these songs should have belonged to the entertainment companies, but now, most of the profits were earned by the composers. So what were the entertainment companies even earning?
Therefore, in the current entertainment industry, especially the music industry, there was no entertainment company that didn't hate Li Xiaojun.
Starlight Entertainment was no exception, so they thought of signing Li Xiaojun.
Furthermore, they included a clause in the contract that prohibited Li Xiaojun from independently releasing any works online.
Li Xiaojun naturally wouldn't agree to such a contract.
Of course, his main reason for not being interested in joining an entertainment company was that he didn't want to be constrained.
In his eyes, capitalists were not good people.
Moreover, the main reason he posted songs online was to increase his fame.
As for whether he made money or not, he didn't care.
As long as the daughter comes and recognizes her father, what does he not have as the Great Emperor's daughter?
"Teacher Li, are you sure you won't sign with our company? You have offended so many music companies, and if you don't join us, you might face retaliation." The people from Starlight Entertainment couldn't help but threaten Li Xiaojun.
"What do you mean?"
Being threatened, Li Xiaojun's face immediately turned sour.
"Teacher Li, we don't deny that you are a musical genius, but you have to understand that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak in cultivation. Many entertainment company bosses are cultivators, and it would be too easy for them to get rid of an ordinary person. Do you understand?"
The people from Starlight Entertainment revealed a sinister smile towards Li Xiaojun.
Their meaning was clear: if Li Xiaojun didn't find a company to join, he might face a life-threatening situation.
"You can leave. I won't agree to join your company."
Li Xiaojun couldn't be bothered with the other party's nonsense. In any case, he wouldn't join Starlight Entertainment.
Of course, even if he wanted to join an entertainment company, he would choose a better one.
After the people from Starlight Entertainment left, Li Xiaojun fell into deep thought.
According to what Starshine Company said, if he continued to harm the interests of other music companies, he might disappear from this world.
This wasn't Huaxia on Earth, where legal protection existed.
In this world, where cultivators dominated and the strong preyed on the weak, for the sake of their interests, those entertainment companies might really resort to killing and silencing.
He was just an ordinary person. Even if he was killed by a cultivator, no one would seek justice for him.
After thinking all night, the next day, Li Xiaojun used his phone to record a video, announcing his withdrawal from the internet!
[Hello, everyone! I am Li Xiaojun. Because of a lack of musical inspiration, starting from today, I have decided to quit the music industry...]
...
Li Xiaojun's withdrawal from the music industry caused a stir on the internet in the Pure Brahma Mountain Immortal Realm, but it quickly faded away.
No one cared about a internet celebrity quitting the music industry.
After Li Xiaojun withdrew from the music industry, other entertainment companies stopped bothering him.
Although Li Xiaojun's previous actions had caused some losses for many entertainment companies, now that he had been forced to quit the music industry, it would be unfair for the entertainment companies to kill him.
The reason Li Xiaojun announced his withdrawal from the music industry was to avoid such a situation.
His daughter would soon return to the Extreme Desolation Star, and he couldn't let himself be killed because of a momentary impulse. He had to endure it, or else he might have to wait another hundred thousand years to see his daughter again.
Therefore, quitting the music industry was a well-thought-out action by Li Xiaojun to avoid accidents.
And Li Xiaojun had achieved his goal. He had become an internet celebrity with over five million fans.
"Teacher Li, this is Director Geza!"
"Director Ge, this is Teacher Li Xiaojun..."
In a teahouse in Honghe City, a young man enthusiastically introduced a middle-aged man to Li Xiaojun.
"Hello, Director Ge." Li Xiaojun greeted the other person.
"Hello, Teacher Li."
"Director Ge, this is the script I wrote. I'm planning to invest a hundred million to shoot this movie..." Li Xiaojun handed a script to Geza!
