Chapter 7, Inquiry on Prices
Li Bo had an expression that suggested understanding, and his thoughts were quite avant-garde, perhaps due to having encountered such tenants before
Willingness to come from Hong Kong already signifies sincerity
This inquiry also made Wang Yi realize that it was a misunderstanding, but since he had just returned and his phone had only been renewed for one day, there should not be many people who would call him.
Do you call yourself a teacher? In terms of music? However, the songs I have are just simple recordings entered into the computer for copyright purposes, and there are no finished products that can be listened to
Do you need to rent three additional rooms
The phone rang, and Wang Yi, who had just connected to the network, directly swiped his finger across the screen
Li Bo, who was handling the ingredients in the kitchen, paused slightly in his movements and then frowned as he spoke to Wang Yi
Just in time to have a bowl of duck blood vermicelli to settle my stomach, the previous buns were digested too quickly
Although the other party spoke politely and claimed to be a representative from a company in Hong Kong, I had never heard of that company. It is quite unusual for a responsible person to be so leisurely concerned about the two copyrights they registered, and then the very next day, they rushed over to inquire about them
Moreover, there are many who surpass oneself in popularity; it is unrealistic to expect that one can attract attention solely based on a few children's songs.
... ...
Only such individuals would frequently pay attention to the newly added works in the copyright database
Wang Yi did not engage in any hypocritical pleasantries with the other party; he is in the music business solely for the purpose of making money, and he seeks quick profits. He does not genuinely intend to delve deeply into this industry, so it is better for everyone to be straightforward and save time.
The finished songs that have been validated by the market naturally do not require much concern regarding quality
Therefore, every day, a large number of professional and non-professional musicians complete various registrations, some of which may just be a segment of melody and accompaniment.
However, the price of songwriting and composing itself is indeed not high, so there is nothing to regret about it
Regarding the issues of rent and cost-effectiveness, the price of the top floor, which lacks an elevator, is not considered high. Moreover, there is an industrial park and numerous electronics factories nearby. It is a common practice to transition from unsuccessful ventures to working in factories. In the future, if there is a need for a piece of land, the vicinity is also quite favorable
Well done, the efficiency is truly high, and the results have come out in less than twelve hours
Wang Yi, a young man, suddenly comes in like this, making it easy to suspect the source of his money
The two songs are no less impressive than "Lonely Courage"; one is priced at 200,000. If you agree, I will prioritize you in the future.
After quickly resolving some issues, Wang Yi also labeled Li Weida as a copyright middleman
It seems that the previous judgment had some misconceptions; it may not be an ordinary middleman, but rather one with considerable strength.
The network is now connected, thank you
Many resellers like to target this place for bulk purchases
Reject
Hello Teacher Wang Yi, I am Li from Xiangjiang Weida Music. I happened to notice that you registered two new music works copyright yesterday, so I would like to inquire about it.
Given that the initial capital is limited, it is still a bit early to directly purchase the land. Moreover, Mr. Li, the landlord, is a decent person, and renting here can save a lot of trouble
A song not only needs to be melodious but also must resonate with the singer, and it requires promotion. Many bar performers and street musicians often present striking music, yet it remains obscure and unrecognized.
It feels like opening a blind box, where everything is unknown before undergoing market validation
He chooses music simply because he is familiar with it and can settle accounts quickly
Li Bo need not worry, I understand the gravity of the situation; it is merely a matter of placing a few computers
The song is merely a means for him to collect initial funds
Since the other party took the initiative to approach and showed sincerity, Wang Yi naturally would not mind it at all
As for virtual currency, although Wang Yi knew that if following a similar trend, the value of virtual currency could multiply several times when it reached its peak, he did not pay much attention to it. With the emergence of national-level resistance, the previous frenzy of price increases would be hindered. The subsequent surges were a result of international capital entering the market to exploit investors and engage in money laundering.
Well, the topic was directly exhausted, and the other party probably confirmed the itinerary before hastily ending the call
Wang Yi, who was already prepared for Li Bo's character, took out the transaction records to show Li Bo the time of his deposits, which immediately convinced Li Bo.
Upon hearing this quotation, Wang Yi did not feel anything unusual; in fact, he even thought that the other party was quite sincere.
The website's backend also allows users to access their personal information, but this is of little concern, as it is not something to be ashamed of. Wang Yi uses an abbreviation purely to reduce potential troubles and harassment.
Even though Wang Yi has several well-received songs, the highest he has reached is only in the tens of thousands.
Is Teacher Wang Yi working on the score for a particular film crew? I also know some people in the film industry, so I can...
Therefore, the other party is likely aware that they are a somewhat well-known musician, and their hurried attempt to contact the publisher is probably an effort to seize an opportunity. However, the fact that they know their name and phone number indicates that the other party possesses a certain level of capability.
The exorbitant copyright value is the value after operation, not the value at the time of creation
May I ask if this is Teacher Wang Yi
A zero-sum game without a foundation, combined with a platform that can be shut down at any time, this is akin to a game of musical chairs controlled by others. The act of collecting payments may also involve issues such as money laundering, which Wang Yi has no interest in engaging with
Who is it
Upon seeing the information presented by Wang Yizhan, Li Bo's expression also brightened, and he simultaneously set aside his previous concerns, cheerfully beginning to search for the keys
Are music copyright fees high? They can be very high; for example, the secondary licensing fees for all of Jay Chou's songs can reach tens of millions annually, and exclusive rights for three years can amount to 570 million. However, this is entirely an exception.
Having selected the goods, one can now await the arrival of the music copyright dealers bearing money.
However, as soon as Wang Yi finished speaking, inquiries came from the other side
I checked the response time, and it seems that they have just started work over there. This can be considered a quick rejection
As a landlord, Mr. Li is very perceptive to the situation of sudden rent increases, as it is common for rental properties to be used as venues for gambling, drugs, and fraud.
... ...
Since the other party has come here directly, it is highly likely that this deal can be successfully concluded. Their visit indicates a lack of confidence in the quality of the music, which shows their intention to make a deal.
I am currently at the vertical store
This world has a good system for various copyright protections, and the cost of copyright registration is not high; for a single work, it is 300 yuan, while for a subsequent work in the same series, it is 100 yuan
Subsequently, Wang Yi casually checked the status of his submissions and the books.
Never even considered what exorbitant copyright fees there could be
Upon hearing Wang Yi's quotation, there was a moment of silence on the other end, and then they spoke up
One has merely uploaded the lyrics and music along with a purely computer-generated sound, and one's fame has not yet reached such a level
Wang Yi, who originally planned to read a few papers of interest, then left the room and headed to Li Bo's duck blood vermicelli shop
What do you rent it for? Young man, there are some matters that should not be touched. After suffering losses, one must adhere to the right path and not think of taking shortcuts
Because even some prominent musicians may produce ordinary works, it is quite sincere for the other party to offer 50,000 when one has only gone through copyright certification and has not even engaged in proper recording.
Those who have the energy and means to access their information from the backend will know it, and no one would be so bored as to indiscriminately spread their own privacy, as that would lead to legal consequences
Hanwei is based on a certain Ter E 5-4600 series processor, a 4-way blade server BH640 V2, which offers a high cost-performance ratio and is convenient for expansion and combination
The impact of songwriting and composing, even if it becomes popular, is still not significant at this time; the influence of singers is far greater. Wang Yi naturally did not change his account when uploading, still using the abbreviation 'Yi', as he originally intended to leverage his previous influence and channels.
Indeed, it is music. Wang Yi should pay attention to the songs he sold in the past, as their performance and popularity were quite good
After completing the rental process, Wang Yi contacted the telecommunications company to arrange for the installation of fiber optics, while also browsing online for the servers he needed.
No one expected that you could write songs, young man, you are quite talented. At present, there are two rooms available for rent on the top floor, which have been rented to a small band. Perhaps you will have some common ground...
This is a parallel world, and it is quite normal for it to be severely impacted by resistance, potentially leading to a state of complete collapse.
The craze for virtual currency in this era has only just begun, and the central bank's notification on 12.5 has yet to be issued. The price of a single Bitcoin has already surpassed one thousand US dollars, and specialized mining machines such as ASICs have begun to emerge. The price surge of graphics cards, along with the revelry of unscrupulous merchants, has sounded the prelude.
This is not the case, rest assured, Mr. Li, my money comes from selling songs, or it is the money I earned in the past
It is not; I am engaged in scientific research
May I ask where the teacher is now? Shall we have a face-to-face discussion?
With these two songs, Wang Yi can now consider the subsequent issues of renting a warehouse and purchasing servers. Previously, he had confirmed that there are quite a few vacant rooms on the top floor of the building where he lives, due to the lack of an elevator, which is sufficient for setting up a server room
Even if Wang Yi presents a verified quality product, whether he can continue to achieve brilliance ultimately depends on a certain element of luck. Many good songs are often discovered long after their release. Therefore, if someone is willing to pay directly, he would not mind buying it outright
Teacher Wang Yi has not released any works for three years; however, given the teacher's previous reputation, our company is willing to offer 50,000 for a complete buyout of the copyright in your possession
Various talent shows can assist in promotion, but they can also acquire the copyright of songs created and used during the competition period. From this point, one can understand the inherent disadvantages faced by independent musicians, as the resource-rich management companies and distributors will always take the lion's share.
Oh, I see, it's that mining thing, right
