Chapter 47 My song belongs to my partner
200,000? [Tell me about it?]
Seeing this message, Lin Tian quickly replied.
Whether you sell it or not, you’ll always benefit from a chat.
While waiting for the news, Lin Tian searched the name of the company on the Internet.
【Unive Music Copyright Company】
【Founded in 2001 and located in Qingzhou City, it is a professional organization dedicated to providing comprehensive copyright protection and management services to music creators around the world.
The core business includes copyright registration, authorization management, copyright litigation support and marketing services. The company has a rich copyright library covering a variety of music styles and has established strategic partnerships with many well-known music platforms and performance organizations.
After browsing the company profile, Lin Tian searched the company's name on Bilibili and Douyin and read the online reviews.
Finally, the conclusion is drawn -
A well-known and established local music copyright company.
However, when it comes to these music companies, reliability has nothing to do with the size of the company.
Small companies are not necessarily shady, big companies are sometimes even more shady, that’s the entertainment industry.
However, Lin Tian was still happy to find out.
After all, this is not a debut under a contract with a company, it is just selling the copyright of the work. There are no restrictions on people, and the loss is at most one song.
In fact, it is not uncommon for copyright companies to approach Tik Tok for consultation when original songs by amateurs become popular.
After a while, [Unive official] replied: [We are very interested in the song "Can-Can" by Moonlight Teacher. If possible, we would like to buy the copyright. ]
[Also, I would like to ask, is the copyright of the song in your hands? ]
Lin Tian replied:
【Here I am.】
[Can we meet and discuss in detail? I see your IP address is from Qingzhou City. ]
Meet?
Lin Tian looked at his phone, stroked his chin and thought for a while.
[That's fine.]
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Tian decided to go and have a chat.
Even if you don’t sell it, you can expand your network like Uncle Zhong Weian from SYC did before. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.
In the interval of thinking, Lin Tian did not forget to settle the previous task.
The video that was sent out has received 400,000 likes so far, far exceeding the 100,000 likes required for the task. The result should have been achieved. However, when Lin Tian opened the system column, he saw:
[Emotional value (happy): 44595/100000]
Not enough? Yes, it’s just a performance video. No matter how good the music is or how much people like it, the happiness they can feel is limited.
Maybe you can get more emotional points by doing a borderline dance.
After all, if it comes to making the audience and his brother happy together, having one head excited is definitely not as useful as having two heads excited together.
It seems that this income doubling card is not so easy to obtain.
Afterwards, [Unive official] responded to the message again, expressing their willingness to follow Lin Tian’s schedule.
The two finally agreed on a time and place.
The next day at noon, Lin Tian used the school lunch break to go to the agreed location.
A cafe close to Qingzhou Seventh Middle School.
Lin Tian had class quickly and arrived at the place first.
He ordered an iced Americano, sat down, and looked around.
This cafe is very business-like. People who appear here during lunch break are basically office workers, either working or resting.
Lin Tian, a man wearing a high school uniform, seemed out of place here.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Moonlight?"
Lin Tian turned his head and saw a lady in professional attire and carrying a shoulder bag appeared in front of him.
"It's me."
"So you are really a high school student."
The lady seemed slightly surprised and said with a smile, “I thought it was a TikTok character.”
"Please take a seat."
Lin Tian didn't say too many polite words, but gestured with his hands.
The lady looked slightly embarrassed.
I wondered why such a handsome boy gave people such a solemn and murderous feeling.
After sitting down, the lady introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Yueguang, my name is Feng Miao, and I am the copyright manager of Unive."
"This time, I mainly want to talk to you about the song "Kang Kang". Before that, you can take a look at some of our company's previous copyright cooperation. Many music bloggers on Douyin have cooperated with us before."
Feng Miao knew that for a new blogger like Lin Tian who was dealing with copyright cooperation for the first time, what he was most worried about was whether legal loopholes would be exploited and whether the company would commit fraud.
Therefore, the best way is to talk less about professional things.
Use the simplest and most understandable words, give facts and examples: "For example, last month, we just bought the song "Melody Under the Starry Sky" for 150,000 yuan. The author is the blogger 'Cheng Cheng C' with millions of fans. This song has 1.69 million views on Douyin."
"There is also "Echoes of the City" which was sold for 300,000 yuan at the beginning of the year. You should have heard that song. It is very popular on Tik Tok."
"I haven't heard of it." Lin Tian said.
“.”
Feng Miao didn’t know that Lin Tian had only recently started watching videos on Douyin.
"Anyway, I hope that Mr. Yue Guang will believe us. We have extensive experience in copyright operations. In fact, your Cancan dance music, whether in terms of the number of views on the entire network or the number of fans on your account, does not meet the requirement of '200,000'. But from our perspective, we really like it, so we are willing to pay this amount."
After talking nonsense for a long time, Feng Miao finally got straight to the point, "If you are willing to sell the copyright, we will also release an album for your song. After the album is released, we will also provide you with a share of the profits. We can discuss the share ratio later."
“.”
Lin Tian was a little surprised when he heard the words “releasing an album” and “profit sharing”.
It seems that he is more sincere than imagined?
He sipped his coffee from a straw and fell silent.
To be honest, it was impossible for Lin Tian not to be moved.
As a high school student who has lived alone for many years, no one knows better than Lin Tian how important money is.
While pursuing his ideal, he must also consider a realistic issue: the current public high schools can still allow poor students like him to study with peace of mind.
Once you go to college, the high tuition fees become a huge obstacle that you cannot avoid.
What's more, when you go to college, the expenses are not just as simple as tuition fees.
If you really get 200,000 yuan, as long as you don’t spend it recklessly, it will be enough until you graduate from college!
Maybe, I can help Gan Yanyu a little.
In fact, writing music costs nothing for Lin Tian.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
No matter how much it sells for, it’s a guaranteed profit.
But the problem is that Lin Tian always has his own awe for these songs that he moved over.
In other words, it cannot be sold at a low price.
Is 200,000 a bargain? Lin Tian thought seriously.
He tentatively called out a price: "Fifty?"
"Add 300,000. That's too much."
"Then think about it first."
“.”
Feng Miao looked at the video of Lin Tian on his phone, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, after some struggle, the expression appeared.
Gritted his teeth.
“Although I don’t have the authority to decide this matter.”
Feng Miao slowly stood up from his seat and held out his hand, "But, I can promise you now. Later, I will negotiate with the general manager, and I will definitely be able to help you get this price!"
"Also, I will try my best to negotiate a satisfactory ratio for you regarding the share of the subsequent albums!"
"Well, when you bring it up, I'll seriously consider it."
Lin Tian never said anything final from beginning to end.
For these copyright companies, it is always more cost-effective to negotiate a little rather than reject them outright.
Lin Tian said this, but he still stood up and shook hands with Feng Miao politely.
However, Feng Miao has already regarded this as proof that Lin Tian is willing to cooperate.
He said happily: "Teacher Yueguang, wait for my good news. In addition, I can transfer some cash to you now, and then pay you the balance after we settle it!"
As if worried that Lin Tian would be bought by another company with a higher price, Feng Miao immediately proposed to pay the deposit on the spot.
When Feng Miao stuffed the bank card into Lin Tian's hand.
Not to mention, Lin Tian really had a trance feeling.
If it is really signed like this.
High school student, one song, 500,000.
This should be able to completely solve the life problems in high school and college, right?
Not to mention, there is such a big share of the album revenue. This is probably the charm of money.
"By the way, Mr. Moonlight, where is your partner who played the cello with you in the video?"
Feng Miao packed her bag and asked with a smile.
Although Lin Tian had not yet agreed explicitly, she still looked very happy, as if she was determined to win.
"She's at home, not with me."
"Hahaha~ Actually, I think with Teacher Yue Guang's music, any kind of partner is fine. No matter who you play it for, it will become a hit," Feng Miao smiled happily.
Who are you?
Hearing this, Lin Tian's brows suddenly frowned.
Is this something that someone who truly understands music can say? He looked again at the lady in professional attire in front of him.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that all the conversations I had just had seemed ridiculous.
Why did I take the time to meet this person? Yes, I just wanted to get to know him and expand my network.
I don't really want to sell the copyright.
If I really want to sell it, I can't help but discuss it with Gan Yanyu.
It was only because Feng Miao was so sincere that Lin Tiancai decided to make some effort.
Now,
Lin Tian's face darkened, and he felt that there was no need to even pull.
The last question was asked: "After the copyright is sold to you, can my partner still play this piece of music?"
"Of course, as long as it's not in public." Feng Miao said with a smile, "We have a complete buyout system, otherwise we wouldn't give you a share. You can play in private, but definitely not in public."
"You don't need to ask, I won't sell it."
Lin Tian put the bank card on the table and handed it back.
Albums, profits, and copyright fees all seem to have lost their meaning at this moment. As expected, there are too many pitfalls in the buying and selling of copyrights.
"My music can only be played by my partner."
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned and left the cafe.
