Chapter 149 Don’t Bite Me
Although this matter is not over yet, Luo Quan really has nothing to do with Yi Yun Platform for the time being.
There are many foreign songs without copyright on the Yiyun platform, and the copyrights of these songs are basically held by the three major record companies: Universal, Sony, and Warner.
Universal, Sony, and Luo Quan all have many acquaintances at the level of directors and managers. As long as you mention to them: There is a music platform in China that uses your songs without copyright, you can deal with them immediately.
At that time, the Yiyun platform will not only have to remove all infringing songs, but also have to pay huge compensation, which will definitely be a serious injury.
It sounds very relieving, and it is not difficult to implement, but if Luo Quan really does this, what will happen to her in China?
Yiyun platform is currently the largest music platform on the entire Internet. It is famous for its large number of songs, all of which are almost all free. It is unique in China in terms of user stickiness and new user increase.
The existence of this platform has given so many conveniences to prostitute users. Many paid songs at home and abroad can be downloaded and listened to for free, without paying the expensive purchase fees at all.
If she contacts Sony and Universal Music to remove all these songs from the Yiyun platform, who will the Yiyun users whose music library has been wiped out vent their anger on?
This is a completely no-brainer question!
Although there is nothing wrong with Luo Quan doing this, and he still defends the copyrights of those creators, he can be called a light of justice.
But in the eyes of the general public, this is an infringement of their spiritual entertainment property, even though these properties are illegal.
Despite the fact that China has been clamoring to support genuine content and oppose free prostitution in recent years, when it comes to paid content, how many people are really willing to spend money?
Not only music, but also animation, TV series, movies, novels, and games. When encountering paid content, most people will first go to the network disk or website to look for free resources. They will be reluctant only if they really can’t find it. Reluctantly sign up for a membership or pay two or three yuan for on-demand viewing.
The sales volume of the album "18" is the most true reflection. The ten songs in the album are of such high quality that it has been praised by all walks of life as the best Chinese album in the new century. It is hailed as an epoch-making work and a work of genius. The results are all The sales volume on the platform is less than 200,000 so far, which is a fraction of the total sales of the new single released by Little Fresh Meat Next Door.
Luo Quan knows the Chinese people very well, because she used to like prostitution, but because of this, she has never forced the Chinese people to support her genuine album. There are so many pirated songs of hers on various music platforms. She I always turn a blind eye.
It's not that she doesn't want to take care of it, it's just that she really can't.
The same is true for the Yiyun platform. So many people listen to free songs here. If she had these songs taken down because of her, she would be scolded on the trending search that night, and it would be on the entire Internet in the true sense. spray.
Although there were so many people on the Internet scolding her before, Luo Quan actually knew in his heart that fans of those female stars were mainly fans, mixed with some exquisite, pseudo-idyllic feminists and lemon monsters, and there were never a few people who defended her. .
But if she really reports Yi Yun Platform this time, her reputation will be ruined, even if she does good things.
Therefore, Luo Quan really didn't have any particularly good solution to this Manager Zheng and Yi Yun platform other than continuing to issue condemnation.
There is actually no point in continuing to post. In the eyes of others, they will probably laugh at her for being incompetent and furious.
But she is a person who holds grudges. If she can't deal with Yi Yun Platform now, it doesn't mean that she won't have a chance in the future, as long as she is patient enough.
But Luo Quan underestimated the thickness of these people's skin.
The day after he ended the call with Manager Zheng, Cao Fan uploaded another song on the Yiyun platform.
The title of the song is still "Lemon". This time the song and accompaniment are exactly the same as "Lemon", but the lyrics are all in Chinese.
It was copied before, but this time it was changed to Chinese version, and there seemed to be a few parts in the lyrics that seemed to have connotations with Luo Quan. Within ten minutes it was on the hot song list again.
When Luo Quan saw it, he didn't know what to say. He could only say that a tree without its bark would definitely die, and a shameless person would be invincible.
At noon, Luo Quan received another call from a stranger.
"Hello, I'm Cao Fan."
Luo Quan frowned: "Is something wrong?"
"I did not think twice when I uploaded the song before, but I think the song "Lemon" is really good, so I want to buy the right to adapt it from you."
Luo Quan said in a serious tone: "Get on the bus first and then pay for the ticket? Are there any other operations like yours?"
"It's just about order, I can give you a good price." Cao Fan was sure that Luo Quan would sell her the right to adapt the song, so it didn't matter whether he uploaded it first or last.
Hearing that Luo Quan didn't say anything, Cao Fan continued to persuade: "Don't be angry. Everyone in China is doing this now. How many of the adapted songs that have become popular are not sold first and then paid for? As long as they can become popular, we It's a win-win situation.
Let me tell you what you don’t want to hear. You are not as popular as me in China now. Look at my song “Lemon” which had hundreds of thousands of plays just after it came out. As long as you give me the right to adapt the song, these fans will immediately You will know that the original singer of this song is you, and your popularity will rise immediately. The money I should give you will not be less than yours, so why not do it? "
It sounds like Cao Fan gave Luo Quan an offer he couldn't refuse. It could increase his popularity and collect licensing fees. Doing so could also be regarded as a reconciliation with Yiyun Platform. It was a win-win situation. Luo Quan also If she refuses, it means she doesn't know the general situation.
This is the solution that Manager Zheng told Cao Fan last night. As long as there is a fait accompli and a reasonable understanding, few people will not obey. Yiyun Platform has used the same method to deal with many domestic and foreign musicians before. .
These musicians all have a common characteristic, that is, they are not well-known in China, but their songs are very good, and after being adapted, they can become popular all over the Internet through video platforms.
When the original singer comes to the door, Yiyun Platform will throw money at him or promise various benefits, and in the end he will always get a satisfactory answer.
Before this, disputes between the original singer and the adaptor would turn into traffic flowing to the Yiyun platform for monetization.
In this era where traffic is king, the boundaries between right and wrong have long been blurred. As long as someone disputes this, it means huge popularity and traffic, and these are just money in the eyes of capitalists.
Marx once said: "If capital has a 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; if it has a 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world; if it has a 300% profit, it will dare to commit Any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.”
And this is almost a business without capital and profit. The capitalist is not even afraid of death, but is he still afraid of being scolded by others for being shameless?
Most people basically gave up struggling after hearing this. After all, their arms can't twist their thighs, and everyone has to make ends meet. Only with money can they write better works, right?
But Luo Quan has never been the majority, and he only replied one word to Cao Fan:
"roll!"
Then hung up the phone.
Before Luo Quan could think of how to scold these shameless bastards, Zheng Li was the first to attack her on Weibo:
"Yiyun Platform originally wanted to purchase the adaptation rights of "Lemon" from Luo Quan. We were very sincere and prepared a licensing fee that was much higher than the market price. However, Luo Quan seemed not to be particularly satisfied with the price, and even We exchanged harsh words.
I know that Yiyun platform, as a free platform, will offend the interests of many capitals and singers, but we actually just want to create a place for fans to listen to good songs for free. The road is indeed very difficult, but we will not because of a few Discouraged by setbacks! "
Well, this is preparing to mobilize the power of the public to put pressure on Luo Quan. It was obviously them who committed the infringement first, but now it seems that Luo Quan is unreasonable.
At the beginning, many people spoke for Luo Quan. They felt that Zheng Li and Yiyun Platform were morally kidnapped by doing this. They also pointed out the previous infringement of Caofan and asked them why they had not responded yet.
But as some grassroots signed singers on the Yiyun platform came forward to speak, their fans also came out to fight back against Luo Quan. The point of attack was that Luo Quan was too petty and treated a song like a treasure. , jealous that Cao Fan is more popular than her.
Luo Quan has never been afraid of essay fights. She can even sing to criticize these people.
Three hours after Zheng Li started a group on Weibo, Luo Quan posted a song on Station B and started to criticize it.
The author of this song is one of Luo Quan's favorite singers. In his early years, this singer was also a ruthless person who laughed and cursed. He liked to use songs to express his attitude and criticize trolls.
This song by Luo Quan is the most savage, calling people a dog.
And this is also the most true portrayal of Luo Quan’s heart right now.
"Don't Bite Me"
Sure enough, Luo Quan is back here in 2017
Let me rap some things for you gently
Listen carefully if you don’t have the patience to listen
Please turn off the player now
Don’t say 2017 is 3017
There will still be xx accompanying us and roaring all the way
Writing lyrics and composing music is my pleasure
But is it too flattering to sing a song about it?
I just sit in front of the keyboard
Write your own original songs carefully
This is my talent and my interest
Who is behind this conspiracy and has no good intentions?
The original simple music
But he was entangled by interests and was not clean
Every note and pure heart in the music
Why can’t we escape the fate of hypocrisy?
I once asked myself
Is it necessary to fight back so coolly?
But some people make me sick just thinking about them
I should still have the courage to beat the dog
I often ask myself
Do sanctimonious people have any conscience left?
If it is because of a mental illness
Welcome to Tokyo to meet the famous doctor Izumi
Don’t you understand the principle of being a person first and doing things later?
Does it matter what you post? Is it worthy of your parents?

Jiangnan has beautiful scenery
How could you understand
Life is too careless
Rampant and got burned in the end after a season
Take a break and stand at attention
Straighten your waist
Stop being boring
Hide the trap of your loneliness
Interest is interest
Mom gave you eyes
But you compromised and were blinded by interests
I feel chilled when I see the Weibo logs
I wonder if I can arouse your sporadic filial piety
This century ushered in a decibel of noise
I believe you are digging your own grave and you are still giving me some advice.
It would be an atrocity if we stood up
Is it a bad act to resell works and falsely report traffic?
Too many evil deeds to count
I have no interest in complimenting you on your so-called job duties.
Showing your dog tail just for money and having sex on TV
You Chinese netizens are all idiots.
I, I, I take a deep breath. The dogs barking here are not quiet.
There is no place for you if you work hard for money.
The mask is torn off and the ugly face and heart are cast aside by the whole world
