Chapter 129 Copyright First, No Buying or Selling



Xu Yanyu spent another hour recording "The Laughter of the Mortal World".

Xu Yanyu was quite tired after recording two songs at once.

However, she can't go back to rest yet; she has another question she wants to ask them.

She looked at Gao Lichang and asked, "Brother Gao, which platform did you choose for the initial release of your previous songs?"

Xu Yanyu had also looked into several music apps currently available in China, including Yunjia, Qjia, and Kjia.

Several of these companies have contacted her, wanting to buy the copyright to her songs.

However, those conditions seemed too harsh to her; once published on one music app, it couldn't be published on another.

Furthermore, songs already released on these software platforms implicitly sell their copyrights to these platforms.

These regulations are even more domineering than those music software from the previous generation.

Singers can choose not to release their songs on the platform, but without the platform's traffic support, the singer's songs are essentially exposed to nothing.

Xu Yanyu still wants to use "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" to climb the U charts, so she definitely can't sell all the digital versions to any of the software companies listed there.

So she wanted to see if Gao Lichang had any other solutions.

Gao Lichang said, "I haven't released any songs on these platforms. Because these platforms all have the same habit: they charge users once a song becomes popular."

I'm not short of money, so I uploaded all my songs to the website that Ah Tao and I built. This website is somewhat of a non-profit site; the songs are free for fans to listen to.

"Of course, if some songs become popular, the platform's contact person will also contact the creator to purchase the copyright."

After Gao Lichang finished speaking, he opened his phone and showed Xu Yanyu the status of the songs he had posted.

"I usually post the website link on my personal Sina Weibo homepage after I release a song. My fans will then follow the link to that website to listen to the song."

It's a pity this platform is too niche, and we don't have enough money for promotion. Only some friends we know post songs on it.

Xu Yanyu took Gao Lichang's phone, randomly clicked on a few songs, and found that there were many user comments under the songs.

[I've discovered a treasure trove of a platform; all the songs are amazing. It's just a shame the music library is a bit small.]

The songs here are all free.

[A friend recommended this website; it seems to have mostly original songs that I can't find on other platforms.]

...

Xu Yanyu looked at Gao Lichang, "Do the digital copyrights of songs released on this platform belong to the singers?"

“Yes, that’s right. Anyway, if you want to sell it, you can just remove the song from the backend yourself.” Gao Lichang nodded affirmatively.

Kao Li-chang added, "Moreover, many singers publish their songs here, and if they can occupy the top three spots on the website's charts within a month, the copyright will sell for a higher price."

Because this platform doesn't allow vote rigging, the rankings on it are relatively reliable.

This is why some singers choose to release their songs on this platform.

Xu Yanyu thought for a moment, then said, "If the copyright is still in my hands, then I'll release both of my songs on this platform first."

Xu Yanyu didn't care about the niche website at all; one of her goals in recording the song was to climb the U charts.

Her songs are all very popular, so as long as she releases a song, she doesn't have to worry about not having an audience.

Moreover, Xu Yanyu discovered that posting songs on this website had one advantage: it could attract more fans.

If passersby want to listen to her songs, they must click on the link she posts. Many people will probably access it through her Sina Weibo or Douyin homepage first.

She'll fix the website address and stuff, and people who want to listen to the songs will probably have to go through her homepage to access the software.

With the current popularity of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend," she is confident that she can attract more casual viewers.

After determining the domestic release URL, the overseas software also needs to be selected again.

The situation is easier to handle abroad because there is no monopoly like in China.

All she needs to do is choose a foreign software that allows her to climb the U-list.

Strike while the iron is hot; with Gao Lichang's help, Xu Yanyu uploaded both songs to their respective platforms.

By the time I finished all that, it was already 7 p.m.

After Xu Yanyu finished dinner with everyone, they let her go back to the hotel to rest.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Yanyu washed up and rested.

She made an appointment with Director Wu to go over early tomorrow morning to select songs.
