The entertainment industry in the empire was unprecedentedly developed.
In terms of movies, the Empire was the world's biggest ticket seller. In terms of the total overseas box office of domestic movies, it had its ups and downs with the M Nation. They were basically the world's first and second. The Empire's Yanjing International Film Festival's Golden Dragon Award and the M Nation's Academy Awards were the world's highest level film awards.
In terms of music, the songs of the Empire's pop singers had spread throughout the world, and the pop singers had become extremely popular. At the same time, the music of the Empire was also the most developed in the world. There were international music festivals like the Music Festival Award Ceremony, which had a huge influence.
In terms of literature, the Imperium had the world-class Hongdao Literature Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature, which were considered the two major literary prizes in the world. The various publication and electronic publication markets in the Imperium had flourished to the peak, and there was also a unique literary form and carrier like online literature.
The Empire was not awkward in terms of culture, not because the Empire was not competitive. In fact, the Empire's cultural competitiveness was only inferior to the M Nation in some areas, and it did not match the huge population of one billion. In addition, although the Empire's movies, music, and literature were very developed, they were basically westernized! Movies were invented by the French. Although the film culture of the Empire was branded with modern Chinese culture, films that truly cared about the Chinese people did not have a strong influence in the world.
The music of the Empire…was completely westernized. The popular western songs were sung in the Mandarin of the Empire or the popular Cantonese of Guangnan. However, in fact, the melody and core were all western.
In literature, the Empire's revival of ancient poetry had been going on for decades and had been implemented for several years, but the results were not that great…The development of online literature had also reached a bottleneck…
Therefore, the problem with the Empire's culture was that the people of the Celestial Empire were trying their best to find the root of their culture. They wanted to integrate this unique root into their national characteristics, so that the culture of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor could truly inherit the past and open up the future, so that the traditional culture could truly blossom on the soil of the modern world.
The modern Han culture after the Empire and the West merged had spread to the entire world…even with the M Nation.
To put it simply, after World War II, most of the people in Han, Vietnam, Laos, and Japan, as well as the surrounding countries in India, Central Asia, and South Asia, had mastered their own language and Chinese. Han had even used Chinese characters in the past two years. They had no choice but to do so. After all, Han had always used Chinese characters before they created their own characters. On the one hand, they needed to communicate better with China. On the one hand, it was to interpret his own traditional culture, so he began to write Chinese characters and speak Chinese.
…It was under the modern Chinese culture that made every Chinese proud. Although there was awkwardness, there was a huge and glamorous side.
In terms of music, although the Empire's music industry was unprecedentedly developed, there were also independent musicians. They would find different companies to cooperate with for their new songs and then split the profits. However, they were outside of the major music production companies.
However, there was a huge problem with this. Without a professional entertainment agency as a guarantee, it would be difficult for them to maintain their popularity. If they did not maintain their popularity, then every time they released a new song, they would need a music production company to promote and hype them up... But these were not their own people, and there was not much benefit to hype themselves up!
Therefore, many entertainment agencies and record production companies were unwilling to accept independent music producers! Their days would also become increasingly difficult, unless they could maintain their popularity…
However, in this era where there were more and more people singing and fewer people listening to music, there were countless young men and women who dreamed of music entering this industry every day, but how many of them could succeed? They would soon be drowned by the latecomers! In the end, he was penniless and lost in the vast sea of people. He even ended up singing in places like Lijiang and Dali.
Therefore, only those who were truly confident and capable would choose to become an independent music producer!
No wonder Xiao Zhi was so shocked when he heard what Li Chencan said.
"Yes, you can say that." Li Chencan nodded slightly.
Xue Yang frowned and said,""Li Chencan, you have to know how difficult it is to be an independent music producer…How many famous ones are there in our country right now? You have to think carefully before you say anything."
"Singing isn't my main occupation anyway, so being an independent musician suits my situation!" "So, Mr. Xiao, this is what I think. If you don't think it's good, I won't force you.”
Xiao Zhi fell into deep thought.
Even if Li Chencan requested for such a method…he couldn't stand the fact that this guy's song was so good! "My Deskmate" and "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Berk" were extremely popular. If they were to be sold on the leaderboards, they would definitely earn a huge sum of money! As for today's "Friends", as a relatively sharp musician, Xiao Zhi could completely predict how popular this song would be!
Since that was the case, it was of course possible to sign it.
Therefore, he said directly," Student Li, we have two ways to sign a contract with a musician like you. The first is to buy out all the copyrights of your songs and we'll distribute them ourselves. The second is to split the profits with you. Which method do you think is more suitable for you?”
Li Chencan didn't hesitate at all.”He believed that the three songs, including 'My Deskmate,' would definitely make a name for himself in this world. It would give him a lot of capital, not just monetary capital, but also many intangible social capital.
These things were very useful…
" Split…" Xiao Zhi nodded. He was not surprised by Li Chencan's choice. The company had a professional music evaluation team. They would evaluate the value of the song and then decide how much publicity the song would have. "We usually give the newbies 30% of the profits.”
This kind of share was indeed not much, but it was also not little.
The Empire was different from his previous life. The music companies in his previous life did not rely on releasing songs to make money. In an era where pirates were rampant, it was impossible to make money by releasing songs! However, the people of the Empire had a strong sense of copyright. They would consciously protect the copyright of a song.
When a song hit the charts, they would only extract the exciting or the first ten to ten seconds to listen to it. After listening to it, they could download it directly if they liked it. The download was charged. Generally, the price of a download varied, ranging from 0.01 yuan to 1 yuan.
0.01 It was the price of songs that could not be sold and could not be completely unbanned for various reasons. One yuan was the price of a superstar's song.
This kind of copyright split, as well as the split after the release of the album and peripheral products.
As for a singer who relied on this to become famous and receive advertisements, these music companies had no right to participate in the share, so they gave the musician a 30% share.
This was the market price…It would be adjusted according to a singer's net worth.
Li Chencan was silent for a moment, then nodded. The copyrights of the songs were temporarily released. Next, they would be packaged and sold! However, with Xue Yang's help, Li Chencan had confirmed with Xue Yang that the publicity fee for his song had to be at least at the level of an ordinary third-rate singer. Otherwise, the contract would be void!
This clause put Xiao Zhi in a difficult position, but in the end, he nodded and agreed.
