Chapter 127 QQ Music’s Determination to Win Lin Fan Over!_1
After Lin Fan heard that, he was indeed tempted.
A song could sell for a million yuan worth of copyright.
Furthermore, this was only the copyright of a song. If it was operated properly in the future and coupled with NetEase Music’s strong promotion, there would be a higher share of income in the end.
The income from this dividend was definitely considerable.
This was only one song. If there were many songs, then so many songs would be enough to earn a lot of money.
Not to mention the income, just the exclusive copyright fee alone was one million yuan for one song. The copyright fee for ten songs would be ten million yuan.
If it was a hundred songs, it would be a hundred million!
100 million was a fortune that countless people could only dream of earning in their entire lives.
And Lin Fan spent far less time writing a song than writing a script. He was tempted after all. The current Lin Fan didn’t really want to enter the music industry and be a singer.
The most important thing for him now was to stand firm in the entertainment industry, write good scripts, act well in television dramas, and film a good work. Only then could he protect Xia Wanqiu better.
The price of a million yuan per song was alright, but Lin Fan didn’t have time to sign the contract yet.
“How about this? I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.” Lin Fan smiled. “If I’ve considered it tomorrow, I’ll officially sign a contract with NetEase and sell the exclusive rights to this song.” “Alright, alright. Mr. Lin, we’ll wait for your good news.” The staff smiled and said over the phone. Even if Lin Fan didn’t agree directly, the staff didn’t dare to show any displeasure.
The price of a million yuan per song was indeed quite high, but it could be seen from Tiktok. In half a day, Lin Fan’s song had reached the top of Weibo’s trending topics list and became extremely popular on Tiktok.
Then, Lin Fan was officially invited by the staff of Tiktok to join Tiktok.
Then, QQ Music and NetEase Music contacted Lin Fan at the same time to fight for the copyright.
The current Lin Fan was so popular. Even if the copyright fee for this song was very high, he could still create a lot of income and bring in a lot of traffic.
After all, the core of the music company was traffic.
The prerequisite for popularity was that the company had to have many outstanding works to attract the audience and nurture their brand loyalty.
And Lin Fan’s song could have such an effect!
After Lin Fan rejected the invitation to work with QQ Music, the director of the operations department was very anxious and wanted to contact the person in charge of QQ Music.
QQ was a big company with a very detailed division of labor and different departments. QQ Music also had a manager who needed to compete with other departments and develop together. At the end of the year, the various departments would evaluate and compare KPIs (performance indicators, to put it simply, the profits earned by the company).
“Come in,” the voice of the person in charge of QQ Music said.
“CEO Chen, let’s discuss the exclusive copyright with Lin Fan,” the operations department head said.
“Little Liu, didn’t we agree on it? 300,000 yuan would be the copyright fee per song. Is Lin Fan unwilling?” CEO Chen asked.
The operations department head said, “Yes, Lin Fan isn’t willing to sign an exclusive copyright contract with us. CEO Chen, Lin Fan’s ‘Love Confession’ was indeed sung very well. Furthermore, Lin Fan isn’t an ordinary person. He’s a celebrity with tens of millions of fans. He became extremely popular with just one drama. His future is limitless. He might even become a big star in the new generation!”
“CEO Chen, do you know that Lin Fan’s Love Confession, has already become extremely popular in Tiktok? Almost every ten videos include one or two of his videos. Furthermore, every video has more than 100,000 comments and 700,000 to 800,000 likes. This is only half a day’s worth of data.”
“That’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after Lin Fan registered a Tiktok celebrity account, in just half a day, he had already rushed to the tenth place on the celebrity rankings and the second place on the hot topic rankings. You have to know that Tiktok has more than 700 big celebrities. Many of them are very popular, but Lin Fan can directly rush to the front.”
“It shows that Lin Fan’s influence is not simple. The influence of the song ‘Love Confession’ is also very strong. If we can sign an exclusive copyright deal with Lin Fan, we will have unimaginable benefits in the future!” the operations department head said.
CEO Chen, the person in charge of QQ Music, turned on his phone and looked at the celebrity rankings of Tiktok.
First place, Lin Kexin, 11 million influence.
Second place, Chu Yaoyao, 5 million influence.
Third place, Xu Yang, 4.33 million influence. Fourth place, Xia Wanqiu, 4.3 million influence.
Ninth place, Su Xiaoyu, 3.83 million influence.
Tenth place, Lin Fan, 3.82 million influence.
There were a total of two rankings on Tiktok. One was the Celebrity Ranking, and the other was the Popularity Ranking. The Popularity Ranking was equivalent to some news and social hot topics.
On Tiktok’s popularity ranking, Lin Kexin’s news occupied the first place and had 12 million popularity.
Lin Fan’s “Love Confession” was second place and had 11.99 million popularity.
On the popularity ranking, Lin Fan’s Love Confession was only 10,000 popularity away from catching up to Lin Kexin.
This was enough to prove that Lin Fan’s influence had reached a terrifying level.
Although he was not high on the celebrity rankings, those on the list were all big stars.
Lin Fan had only appeared in the public eye for a month or two, and he only registered a Tiktok account for half a day.
Such popularity was enough to show that Lin Fan’s current achievements were far from what others could do!
CEO Chen was also deeply shocked.
Lin Fan’s popularity was rising too quickly.
During this period of time, Lin Fan’s trending speed had already exceeded that of all the celebrities.
Some entertainment companies would buy trending topics for their artistes. However, Lin Fan was completely different. He relied on his own abilities to reach the top of Weibo’s trending topics list.
It was the same for Tiktok’s popularity.
A small livestream had turned into a music festival for a million people!
A song made Lin Fan stand at an unprecedented height.
“Little Liu, let me tell you. I was too busy previously and didn’t have time to analyze it seriously. That’s why I underestimated Lin Fan. Now, I want to apologize to you sincerely.”
“I’ll give you a mission now. At all costs, rope in Lin Fan and get the copyright to Lin Fan’s song.” CEO Chen of QQ Music decided.
Seeing that Lin Fan had such great potential, the big boss of QQ Music had completely changed his opinion of Lin Fan.
Lin Fan’s song, coupled with his popularity, would be of great help to QQ Music if they could rope him in.
This was the bearing of a big boss of a company. He would not automatically lower his intelligence and become stingy for some reason. As a big boss, he had to take action when he had to. In this society, if one wanted to go against the flow, they had to seize the opportunity and attack decisively!
Lin Fan was the perfect opportunity for QQ Music to surpass other music companies!
The operations department head said, “CEO Chen, the staff of NetEase Music have already contacted Lin Fan today. I heard that the price isn’t low. It seems to be over a million.”
CEO Chen immediately stood up and looked at the operations department head. “Little Liu, if NetEase Music bids one million, QQ Music will bid 1.5 million.”
“If NetEase Music bids 1.5 million, we will bid 2 million.”
“Remember what I said. You have to buy the copyright of Lin Fan’s song at all costs. This isn’t just the copyright of a song. It’s also related to our future cooperation with Lin Fan. Therefore, the first song is especially important!” CEO Chen said.
Seeing CEO Chen’s determination, the operations department head, Little Liu, nodded and was a little ecstatic.
With his boss’s words, he had the confidence to bid to rope Lin Fan in.
Since NetEase Music had offered a million…
QQ Music would directly take out its final trump card and make NetEase Music give up on competing
QQ Music was willing to pay two million yuan for the copyright to Lin Fan’s song!
