Chapter 502: A long-term meal ticket worth 2 million US dollars a year!
The prototype of "Happy Birthday to You" is a song called "Good Morning to Everyone", which has only one octave, one long scale, and only half notes and quarter notes. It is very suitable for children's singing ability and appreciation taste, so it is also a song with a super high singing rate on the earth.
Later, a music company bought the copyright of this song. From then on, anyone who used this song in film and television works, on radio stations and in various public occasions had to pay a fee. Any manufacturer of toys or musical greeting cards that could play the song had to pay a fee. Even when someone sang this song, as long as there were a certain number of listeners present and they were not relatives or friends, they had to pay a fee.
Every year, the company earns $2 million in copyright fees from the song, making it one of the most profitable songs in the world.
It wasn't until 2016 that the song was placed into public domain.
But it was precisely because this song was so widely sung that the idea that "Blue Star has no birthday song" did not exist in Lin Fan's mind.
On Earth, the idea that this song must be sung on almost every birthday occasion has penetrated into Lin Fan's subconscious.
Although Lin Fan himself does not celebrate his birthday, and mainly because he does not know when his birthday is - but the classmates and colleagues around him all celebrate their birthdays in the same way, so Lin Fan subconsciously sang this song when Zhuo Yuanquan made a wish in front of the birthday cake.
But after being awakened by Li Xiaodong, Lin Fan realized that this was not Earth, but Blue Star.
There is no "Happy Birthday to You" song here.
This is a long-term meal ticket with a copyright fee of at least 2 million US dollars a year! Lin Aiqian Fan's eyes instantly turned into some kind of currency symbol, just like some kind of lottery interface, scrolling quickly, and then with a "ding" sound, a large number of gold coins fell from the sky!

Zhuo Yuanquan was very touched: "Brother Fan, you even wrote a song specially for me..."
At this moment, Zhuo Yuanquan has not yet realized how much profit this song can bring. He only knows that Lin Fan specially wrote a song for him. Even though it only has one line of lyrics and such a simple melody, he can feel Lin Fan's intentions.
The others were so envious that their eyes turned red.
Lin Fan had no idea how to explain this huge mistake, so he smiled dryly and changed the subject: "Blow out the candles, blow out the candles after making a wish!"
Zhuo Yuanquan suppressed the soreness in the corners of his eyes, kept Lin Fan's feelings in his heart, and then bent down to blow out the candles.
but.
"Puff!" Zhuo Yuanquan felt someone press hard on the back of his head, and then his eyes blurred, and his whole face was already sunken in the white cream! Before Li Xiaodong retracted his hand, he felt a chill on his face, and Lu Bingyang had already smeared a large amount of cream on his face! Li Xiaodong was furious: "Brother Lu!"
“Hahaha—ugh!” Before Lu Bingyang could feel proud for long, Lin Fan smeared a large amount of cream on his face.
Li Xiaodong, who had avenged his great hatred, pointed at Lu Bingyang and laughed, then a piece of cake was stuffed into his mouth and he almost choked to death!
In addition, Zhuo Yuanquan, who had finally pulled his face out of the cake, wiped his face with both hands, scooped out two handfuls of cream, and smeared it on the people around him, not caring who it was, whoever was close to him would be hit, anyway, no one could escape! "Ahhh! Brother Quan, it wasn't me who did that to you!"
"Gao Yan, don't run!"
"Brother Xiaodong, please let me go!"
"Bah, wishful thinking!"
…
On a sunny flower island, in a desirable yard with singing birds and fragrant flowers, five childish ghosts were making a mess around a cake that was beyond recognition.
Director Liu Nan looked at the five energetic boys in the camera and couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be young!"
…
Ten minutes later, the five people, exhausted from playing, ran to the backyard to wash the cream off their faces, then returned to the hall and cleaned up the mess they had made.
Li Xiaodong mopped the floor while sighing: "Why waste a good cake instead of eating it? It's okay to waste it, but why make it all over the place and then have to clean it up by myself in the end."
Lu Bingyang responded bluntly: "Shouldn't you ask yourself this?"
The first person to take action was Li Xiaodong. I really don’t know how he had the nerve to say such a thing.
Li Xiaodong was silent for a moment, then raised his neck and said, "It's fun!"
And it was my hand that took action first. My hand has its own consciousness. Why would I tell you about this?
Li Xiaodong looked like he really deserved a beating. Lu Bingyang couldn't help but beat Li Xiaodong up. Chen Xianwu, Gao Yan, and Zhuo Yuanquan sneaked up and stepped on him twice.
Amid Li Xiaodong's wailing, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to be young."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But I still have to quickly upload the song "Happy Birthday to You" to the copyright website. At the same time, I will ask Sister Xia to promote this song well, strive to restore its status on earth, and work hard to help me earn copyright fees!
Of course, we have to take some time to see if there are any songs like "Happy Birthday to You" that are well-known on Earth and included in public copyright, but do not exist on the blue planet. These are all shining long-term meal tickets, and of course the more the better! After registering the copyright information, it is time to record the song.
The accompaniment of this song is also very simple. Lin Fan used the piano for the accompaniment and recorded multiple dialect versions in Chinese, English, Russian, French, German, Spanish, Korean, etc., and then sent them all to Yang Hongxia.
Yang Hongxia also didn't expect that Lin Fan would suddenly send her a new song while she was recording a variety show. And it looked very much like a children's song. After all, the lyrics were just the same sentence. This made Yang Hongxia very confused. Could it be that Lin Fan felt that pop music could no longer satisfy him and now began to focus on children's music?
In this regard, Lin Fan gave Yang Hongxia a good explanation: "The market for this song is very broad, and the benefits are long-term. You may not see its influence now, but wait for two years, and then you will know what it really means."
Yang Hongxia had a headache. It wasn't always a good thing for an artist to be too capable and talented. For example, right now, Yang Hongxia couldn't keep up with Lin Fan's train of thought, so she could only put the matter aside for the time being: "So the new song for this episode is this, um, birthday song?"
Isn’t this a bit perfunctory?
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Of course not. This birthday song was just a product of a flash of inspiration. We have other plans for new songs for the show."
Yang Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, I'll do as you say."
As long as Lin Fan doesn't plan to use this birthday song to get by, it's fine. It's not that the birthday song is bad, but in the last episode, Lin Fan just came up with a song that was enough to establish a new school, but this time he only came up with a children's song. Yang Hongxia is worried that those opponents and black fans will take the opportunity to attack Lin Fan, saying that Lin Fan has run out of ideas.
Although I won’t be affected by these comments, it’s still annoying to read them.
Of course, this part of the content could not be played to the audience. The audience only saw that after Lin Fan and the other four finished playing, they each went to clean up and returned to the hall to clean up the traces of cream and cake.
The camera stayed on Li Xiaodong and the others for a while longer. Without anyone noticing, Lin Fan soon appeared and joined the cleaning team.
Ps: "Happy Birthday to You", by sisters Mildred Hill and Patty Hill. I wrote this song purely because I saw this news. It felt so magical that I had to share it with everyone. I don't mean to water down the plot, really not~ (End of this chapter)
