Chapter 54 Negotiate the copyright of the track!The pre-warming announcement of the audio game!
The creativity of the music game is undoubtedly novel and full.

Therefore, it also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the employees.

In many cases, whether employees work overtime or not is not necessarily related to pure overtime pay.

Compared with overtime pay ranging from tens to tens, young people nowadays prefer to choose a relaxed and stress-free lifestyle.

Unless they can see the value of overtime.

It may be a spiritual shock.

Perhaps a gilt on a résumé.

Or a high commission that is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than overtime pay.

The music game concept proposed by Mr. Chu now includes the above three points.

Ever since, he has created a work enthusiasm that even Mr. Chu can't drive away.

"Xiao Xu, come to my office." Seeing the enthusiasm of the employees, Mr. Chu was embarrassed to sneak home.

There was no one at home anyway.

That little girl Tang Wangyue has been very busy these two days, and it is said that she is going to take an art examination.

Not only do you have to pass the practical score, but you must also keep up with the theoretical knowledge.

Talent is a strange thing, Tang Wangyue is a purely talented player.

If you ask her to paint, she can paint exquisitely, and you have to ask her some theoretical knowledge about painting.

She can only show you her face full of bitterness and hatred.

Thinking of the look of that guy holding his book and burying his head in his mouth, Chu Jun inexplicably felt a little uncontrollable laughter.

"President Chu, what's the matter?" Xu Nianqing knocked on the office door.

"It's like this..." Chu Jun explained his thoughts.

1 minute later.

"Buy the copyright of the song?" Xu Nianqing's face was filled with surprise, "Wouldn't 50 songs be a little...too much?"

She temporarily serves as the company's secretary and financial accountant, and Chu Jun invested 1000 million into the company's financial account.

Some people look at the face but don't know the heart. They seem to be quiet, but they are full of thoughts behind their backs about how to avoid the law and empty the company's money.

But the thorough investigation eye given by the system can completely restore a person's nature.

That's why Chu Jun dared to let her manage the account.

Even with tens of millions of company operating funds in hand, Xu Nianqing still looks like a stingy housekeeper.

He took out a calculator, pulled a chair and sat down at the desk, and began to settle accounts for Chu Jun one by one.

"Our company is now in the initial stage of operation, and there are many places where expenses will be used in the future, for example..."

"And then, if the average price of a song's annual commercial use rights fluctuates around 20 yuan, 50 songs will cost at least tens of millions of dollars, and the company will be emptied out. Such an approach is too much of a gamble."

The average price of a song is 20?
Chu Jun's eyes flickered slightly.

No wonder many music games in the previous life used original tracks.

Among these original repertoires, there are mostly pure music repertoires headed by piano pieces.

In this way, you can buy the right to use the next track for the price of hiring a composer.

It saves the cost of writing lyrics and inviting singers.

According to the price of original pure music, it usually fluctuates in the range of several thousand to tens of thousands.

With such 50 original songs, the expenses will be compressed within one million.

Of course, this is only the general situation of the audio game company in the previous life.

And what is the environment now?
A world where music games don't exist!
Players' recognition of the game audio game has not yet been established, and there will be no audio game enthusiast group.

If you buy some original pure music, the popularity of these music must not be high.

If you choose this kind of unheard of piano music, the effect will be greatly reduced.

"Bring me the calculator and let me have a look." Chu Jun waved to Xu Nianqing.

Xu Nianqing was still knocking on the calculator, and finally typed out a number and pushed it in front of Chu Jun: "Mr. Chu, if we want to buy 50 well-known music copyrights, we will need at least a million dollars a month. , It takes one year to earn back the capital, and after one year the music copyright expires, and we have to continue to renew, so our company basically can't do anything, and all the music copyright will be renewed..."

She wanted to say something else.

Then I heard a mechanized electronic synthesis sound coming from my ear.

"Return to zero."

She looked up at Chu Jun in surprise.

But the latter fiddled with the calculator lightly and said with a smile, "Money is not a problem. Do you have any channels to contact the music copyright party?"

"I..." Xu Nianqing swallowed several times in his delicate throat, and then said eagerly: "There is..."

Although the game is indeed very creative.

But being creative doesn’t mean it will explode the market.

Regarding this, Xu Nianqing held a conservative attitude.

But in the face of a boss who has the ability to make money, what else can she say...

"In terms of channels, if you want to buy music copyright, it is best to suggest that you can get it directly from the musician." Although the previous proposal was rejected, Xu Nianqing quickly entered the working state again: "If you go around When the music company gets the copyright, the price will probably go up by 30%-50%.”

She licked her slightly dry lips, and continued: "Of course, because some musicians are not that famous, the copyrights are basically in the hands of the company. It doesn't matter if they say it. And..."

Chu Jun looked at Xu Nianqing appreciatively.

This girl was indeed chosen correctly, she has strong working ability, and she showed herself all the work experience accumulated in the previous company without reservation.

According to her.

If you want to buy the copyright, you can contact the musicians alone. If you really have no choice, you should consider contacting the music company.

And because the sound effects department of her last game company was outsourced, she met a group of guys who were engaged in music.

"You can get the contact information of those big companies or big singers from them, but it's a little troublesome..."

"Water." Chu Jun brought a glass of water.

"Ah... Thank you, Mr. Chu." Xu Nianqing was a little flattered, but he was really thirsty, so he took the water glass and swallowed.

When the neck was raised, it became slender and white like a swan, and the water stains ran across the snow neck along the corner of the mouth.

Finally, Chu Jun, who couldn't bear it anymore, made a bold request to her.

"Why not just tonight."

"But Mr. Chu...wouldn't it be too soon...it's not good for us to do this...too late..."

"Nothing bad."

"Then... I'll try." Xu Nianqing took out his mobile phone and began to dial numbers one by one.

Chu Jun's bold request is nothing more than trying to contact the group of friends she knows now.

Through the way of curves and surrounds, those famous musicians are connected.

After about two hours.

"...I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zhang, I'm so sorry to call you so late. Then let's make an appointment and see you tomorrow." Xu Nianqing waited for the other party to hang up first, and then hung up the phone Broken, he patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Within two hours, she went around and through friends of friends of friends, contacted a total of 7 music companies and 23 well-known musicians.

They also arranged meetings to discuss copyright contracts in detail.

50 finalized [-] tracks.

Chu Jun only designated a few songs, and Xu Nianqing, a 'local', negotiated with him for the rest of the songs.

After all, there are many songs that Mr. Chu has never heard in this life, and there are also many popular songs in the previous life that no one cares about in this life.

The world has changed, and many songs that rely on realistic backgrounds to become popular will naturally be affected.

"Next, there are three songs by Teacher Lin Xuexin. If they can be negotiated, it will be considered a success." Xu Nianqing was a little happy, with a smile on his face.

After the establishment of the company, the work progressed very quickly, but in just half a week, the framework of Xinyou has been finalized.

Now the copyright of the track is almost the same.

According to this rhythm, I am afraid that it will take at most a month for the new game to be put on the shelves for sale.

For a game company, what is the concept of only one month from its establishment to the release of a new game?
Generally, people will only use two words to describe this kind of company——（）

"Lin Xuexin?" Chu Jun was slightly surprised.

Hearing his tone, Xu Nianqing was also puzzled: "Mr. Chu, don't you know Teacher Lin Xuexin?"

"I know her, but I don't often listen to her works." Chu Jun prevaricated.

In his memory, such a well-known singer did not exist in his previous life.

It can only be the people of this world.

While Xu Nianqing was making the phone call, Chu Jun secretly searched the internet for a review of this musician on Baidu.

Lin Xuexin, a well-known mainland musician at the beginning of the millennium, the three most popular songs are "Chang'e", "Jade Rabbit" and "Yuegui"

Good guy, three moons, right?

It's just that it was later caught in a scandal, and it was confirmed that the negative news of beating and insulting fans.

The popularity plummeted, and after nearly 20 years of silence, in recent years, due to an accident, he commented sharply on other singers on Weibo, and became popular again.

After that, she seemed to have found the code of wealth, and began to criticize all walks of life, celebrities or works that she was not used to on Weibo.

Create a character set that is straightforward, daring to love and hate, and has attracted a lot of fans.

Chu Jun found her Weibo and looked through it, and found that there were many criticisms and even nonsense, using her short-sightedness to directly deny the entire work or a certain person.

But the harder she scolded, the more people liked her post, and her fans grew stronger.

Chu Jun frowned slightly.

He doesn't want to cooperate with this kind of star who "maintains his own value by constantly rubbing off on others' popularity".

But Xu Nianqing's phone call had already been connected, so he could only keep silent for the time being and wait and see what happened.

At first Xu Nianqing communicated with the other party very politely.

But after a while, she didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, and her expression seemed to become a little angry.

Liu Mei trembled slightly, but her good quality still allowed her to respond patiently.

"Mr. Lin, the price of the track is measured by our company strictly through the current copyright system standards."

"...The copyright fee of 100 million yuan per song you offered has completely exceeded the upper limit of this standard." Xu Nianqing still remained polite.

After getting in touch with the copyright operator under Zhou Tianwang just now, they bought the right to use several of his singles, and the price remained within this critical value range.

These songs by Lin Xuexin were indeed popular 20 years ago, but now the times have changed.

The asking price for this kind of lion's big mouth was completely beyond Xu Nianqing's expectation.

I don't know what was said on the other end, Xu Nianqing's face became more and more ugly.

Chu Jun went directly to get her mobile phone and hung up the phone.

"Let's change to another family." Chu Jun said lightly.

Originally, I didn't intend to cooperate with such an artist of average character. Since the other party has no such intention, there is no need to talk nonsense.

Considering that it was getting late, it would not be appropriate to call other artists or their managers at this time, Chu Jun asked Xu Nianqing to contact them tomorrow.

Mr. Chu didn't take a small matter to heart.

Everything can't always be smooth sailing, and it's normal to encounter some self-sufficient and high-minded people occasionally.

After returning home that night.

Chu Jun estimated the current game production progress.

The recruited employees have complementary abilities and are highly enthusiastic about their work.

It only takes about one month to finalize the game and put it on sale.

If he also participates in it, he can increase the production speed by nearly 50%
"If it's released in half a month, it's almost time to start the preheating promotion now."

After thinking about it, Chu Jun posted a post on his Weibo account with millions of followers.

"An innovative music game is about to be released, so look forward to it."

The text is very short, but one stone stirs up waves.

In an instant, dozens of comments flooded into the comment area below.

"Throw it! Is Brother Chu Zi going to release a new game? How long will it take, can you find out?"

"Music game?? What type is this? I've never heard of it!"

"Buy it and it's over. Judging from the quality of Chuzi's game in the early stage, I am completely relieved!"

"That's what I said...but even some talented creators can't take off every time, right? Moreover, music games are a type of unclear meaning, and I can't imagine how to play them. I'm holding a wait-and-see attitude. If the feedback is good, let's talk. Bar."

Some people praise it, but of course there are others who disagree.

Except fans who disagree.

Many game companies in the industry also reposted Mr. Chu's post.

Qiming Interactive Entertainment: "Looking forward to Junyue Studio's new work!"

Tengu Games: "I wish the new work a big hit!"

Corn Games: "Junyue Studio Come on! The money is ready!"

……

After the Cultural Celebration War, Chu Jun, including Junyue Studio, has gradually emerged in the industry.

In addition to some major domestic game companies, many small and medium-sized game companies have forwarded it one after another.

Of course, Mr. Chu is also aware of these careful considerations in his peers.

Don't look at my own Weibo news, there are so many people in front of me, so many people come to join me.

But once the new work is sold, everyone will leave the tea.

As some game column media also joined the warm-up promotion of the new work, forwarded it and wrote articles immediately, trying to analyze the unprecedented genre of music games.

The heat is quietly and slowly rising.

But after all, it's still a bit of a minority, even with the help of so many people.

It only climbed to the 30th place in the hot search, and it stopped at the tail of the hot list.

Compared with the popularity of breaking the circle a few times before, it is far different.

Chu Jun is very satisfied.

As a niche industry, it is quite good to be able to get a hot search without spending a penny.

Next, it's time to work overtime to catch up with the game development process.

After turning off the computer and washing up, he greeted the exhausted Tang Wangyue.

sleep!
