Chapter 489 - 489 Copyright
489 Copyright
Wang Yuan meant that Chen Yun did not understand!
He was an outsider!
“Hehe!”
At this moment, Chen Yun naturally knew what Wang Yuan meant.
However, he did not care.
That was because the issue of the original music copyright that Chen Yun was talking about was not a problem with the music copyright that Wang Yuan interpreted.
The issue of original music copyright that Chen Yun wanted to talk about was actually with regards to cover songs!
Therefore, in the next moment, Chen Yun spoke without hesitation.
“Mentor Wang, you might have misunderstood me. The issue of the original music copyright that I’m talking about is actually not what you interpreted. I wanted to talk about cover songs!”
“Cover songs?!”
Upon hearing this.
Wang Yuan was instantly stunned.
He did not expect Chen Yun to be talking about this thing!
“That’s right, cover songs!”
“Just as you said, the market is indeed very protective of the original music copyright. The fans are also very aware of paying. However, no one has stepped forward to denounce cover songs!”
“In fact, as you know, some people earn more money by specializing in cover songs than the original creator. They can even earn several times more!”
“Some big-name celebrities even started off by doing cover songs.”
“What about the original creators?”
“Not only did they not get any money, but they’re also not as famous as the cover singers!”
“Tell me, don’t the original creators feel sad about this?!”
“Well…”
At that moment.
After Wang Yuan heard Chen Yun’s words, he immediately did not know how to answer him.
That was because the problem Chen Yun was talking about was a problem in the contemporary market.
That was right.
Just as Chen Yun had said, the money earned from some original songs was really not as much as the money earned from cover songs.
In fact, some of the cover singers even directly took the position of big stars.
This had indeed hurt many original singers.
Wang Yuan was an example!
A song that he had painstakingly composed a few years ago was not that popular at that time. However, he did not expect that his song would be sung by someone this year.
As for the person who covered the song this year, not only did he earn a lot of money, but he was even about to climb to the A-list now.
Most importantly, Wang Yuan could not find a place to defend his rights.
Tell me, would he be hurt?
Would he be sad?!!!
Therefore, in just an instant, Wang Yuan immediately fell silent.
“Therefore, the reason why I asked Mentor Wang to come here today is to talk to you about this problem!”
“What I mean is that I want to use Mentor Wang’s reputation in Jiangbei to buy the music rights of those original musicians. In fact, once their songs are covered, I will do my best to defend them.”
Seeing this, Chen Yun immediately spoke again.
“Mr. Chen, what exactly do you want to do?!”
Hearing this, Wang Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
He would do his best to defend their rights!!!
That was right.
It was these words that made Wang Yuan’s eyes light up.
Although he did not know how many original singers were facing the problem of cover songs in the market now, he was deeply affected.
Therefore, when he heard Chen Yun say that he would do his best to help them defend their rights, he was naturally shocked!
“It’s very simple. I’ll specially set up a professional platform for collecting music fees. At the same time, I’ll also set up a special legal aid department. As long as a cover song appears, my legal aid department will specially advocate for it.”
Seeing this, Chen Yun immediately said what he was thinking.
“Yes!”
“I have to say, Mr. Chen, I admire you. Really, I didn’t expect you to be so bold at such a young age. I, Wang Yuan, really admire you!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan immediately expressed his incomparable admiration for Chen Yun.
In the end, Wang Yuan directly agreed to Chen Yun’s request. Three days later.
An extreme music software with a user-oriented product experience and a humane community atmosphere began to be officially released on various download platforms.
The name of this music software was Pleasant to the Ears!
That’s right, this music software was developed by Xinyu Star Creation Limited.
Of course, Chen Yun was in the lead.
On this music software, not only could one use it to listen to songs, but one could can also upload posts, videos, share about one’s life, and discuss topics with fellow fans.
In short, it had what other music platforms had, but it also had what other music platforms didn’t.
Therefore, after Pleasant to the Ears went online, it could already be considered a very good music software among all kinds of music software!
However, because the distribution of major music software in the market was uneven, not many people downloaded it after it was released.
Twenty-four hours after Pleasant to the Ears went online, the number of downloads were still in single digits.
However, Chen Yun was not in a hurry.
This was because!
Pleasant to the Ears only had a few hundred songs in its music library.
…
Ten days later.
Although the number of downloads were still infinitely low, Irene brought good news to Chen Yun!
During this period of time, through Wang Yuan’s constant persuasion, nearly 30% of original singers in China finally signed a contract with Pleasant to the Ears.
Then, Xinyu Star Creation Limited directly spend nearly three billion yuan. They crazily bought the digital music copyrights of nearly ten million original songs and other corresponding copyrights.
On the same day!
Xinyu Star Creation Limited even spent 1.5 billion yuan on promotional fees!
As a result, in the next few days, Pleasant to the Ears directly appeared on various promotional platforms!
In an instant, the name of Pleasant to the Ears spread throughout the entire music industry.
Then.
The number of people who downloaded Pleasant to the Ears instantly skyrocketed.
At this moment, although the big shots behind some music platforms had received the corresponding news, they were still watching and did not take any measures…
It was precisely because they continued to watch!
Next, Xinyu Star Creation Limited made another big move.
The Legal Aid Department of Pleasant to the Ears was officially established.
They hired hundreds of professional lawyers at a high salary and established a special legal aid team.
All of a sudden, those who covered songs received a corresponding lawyer’s letter.
…
At this moment, some people finally understood that the upheaval in the music industry had begun!
It was precisely because of this that the major news media in Jiangbei began to report this matter.
On the Internet, there was also a discussion!
