"As for music copyright revenue, it's split 50/50."
"Oh, if you can get 50%, that's not bad!"
“It’s really good. Among the artists in the company, my profit-sharing ratio is among the highest. There are many with a 20/80 split, and the contracts for newcomers are even more stringent.” Lin Yourong paused for a moment, “However, 20% of my income also goes to my manager.”
"Huh? Your agent needs to be paid by you, isn't he/she a company employee?"
"Sister Ru is indeed an employee of Canwen Media. Part of her income comes from her salary, workload, and bonuses, but the majority comes from the artists she manages. She helped me negotiate many resources, such as the album I recorded this time. She followed up on the whole process and even used her connections to get Michael Lin to arrange the music for me. Of course, I have to give her a share."
"I understand."
Yu Huan suddenly understood.
At his peak, Jay Chou had more than just Vincent Fang behind him; there were also three giants of music arrangement!
Michael Lin is one of them, having worked on films such as Love Before 2000, East Wind Breaks, and Hair Like Snow.
This is a big shot in the industry!
Lin Yourong's song "On the Road" is just another generic pop song in terms of lyrics and music, but with her own voice and Michael Lin's arrangement, it is still quite listenable.
No wonder many big-name celebrities' agents are relatives; it turns out they keep the profits within the family, are interdependent, and form a community of shared interests.
However, if the song "It's You" were to be released in 2013, excluding commercial performances, its passive income would conservatively be estimated at ten million.
So after paying taxes, Lin Yourong will only receive about three million.
fall!
When you do the math, you're totally losing money!
Luckily, I only gave her one song.
This shows that although artists from large companies have more resources and produce higher-quality songs, they are not as good as independent musicians in terms of copyright income.
Yu Huan thought for a moment and said, "Sister You Rong, I have a suggestion. When arranging the music, use guitar strumming for the verses to make it more lyrical, and make the chorus more rock!"
“No problem!” Lin Yourong nodded: “By the way, will your name be listed as the lyricist and composer?”
“Mr. Y! The initials of my name.” Yu Huan stroked his chin with his fingers and pondered for a moment: “Sister You Rong, you have to keep the copyright in your own hands! Otherwise, if you want to switch companies, you won’t even be able to sing your own songs.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong's lips moved slightly.
In the end, he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Mm!"
She slowly strummed the strings, after the prelude.
Singing:
"Let's try to hold the sun in our palms~"
We laugh together at the vicissitudes of time.
"And steadfastly, we remain each other's light."
……
"It's you, it's you~ Planting a forest full of courage~"
"Erase the desolation from the cloak~"
"Let me turn into a flying fish and leap out of the sea!"
"Go and touch the miracle!"
Although her current makeup and styling are Lin Yourong, not the gorgeous and stunning Lin Su.
She wore a thick pink cotton pajama set, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she only had light makeup on.
But this feeling of listening up close.
Right beside me.
Yu Huan put down the cup, put her hands behind her head, and sank into the sofa.
enjoy!
When my mother-in-law came out after resting.
Seeing the two people in the living room, one practicing singing and the other listening, looking quite harmonious, he then went to the kitchen with a big smile and busied himself for a while.
Then, I called them both to eat.
Not long after.
"I've arranged a card game, and your dad's not coming back. You young people can make your own plans for tonight!"
After eating, one tastes five different flavors.
After finishing the "Clean Plate Campaign," Yu Huan pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth and hurriedly pressed down on his mother-in-law's hand as she tried to clear the dishes.
"I'll do it!" I thoroughly studied the strategy guide.
As a son-in-law, one must be observant and proactive in his mother-in-law's home, always show his abilities, take initiative, and be diligent.
The attitude must be made clear first.
The mother-in-law slapped Yu Huan's hand away: "Your leg isn't fully healed yet, why are you sitting? I'll clean up the dishes and have You Rong wash them. You Rong is home, these are her responsibilities."
"Yes, I usually do the dishes." Lin Yourong silently placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of her onto the serving dish.
She carried the bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen.
After the kitchen door slowly closed, the mother-in-law hurriedly whispered to Yu Huan, "You Rong likes to eat crayfish. Take her out tonight, understand?"
"Okay, Mom, no problem!"
Yu Huan readily agreed.
The mother-in-law nodded with a look of satisfaction, and then went into the bedroom to change into a woolen coat.
Lin Yourong hadn't finished washing the dishes when she casually slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out to play mahjong.
After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law, Yu Huan thought for a moment, then got up and pushed open the kitchen door.
The double-glazed doors provide excellent sound insulation.
The door was slowly pushed open, and the sound of the tap water grew louder and louder, filling his ears as he stepped inside.
The kitchen is spacious and bright, without a single tangle of clutter.
An embedded smart refrigerator stands quietly by the door, along with a smart oven, microwave, coffee maker, juicer, and a variety of large and small appliances.
Lin Yourong rolled up her sleeves, put on dishwashing gloves, and skillfully began washing the dishes.
Hearing the door open, he turned his head and glanced at Yu Huan.
"A female celebrity washing dishes online! How down-to-earth!" Yu Huan joked with her with a smile.
Lin Yourong picked up her chopsticks, squeezed some dish soap onto them, and scrubbed them vigorously under the tap: "I'll take that as a compliment."
"Speaking of which, since Sister Rong is so down-to-earth, do you usually eat snail rice noodles and stinky tofu?"
"Luosifen?"
Seeing Lin Yourong's puzzled expression, Yu Huan realized that snail rice noodles hadn't really become popular yet, but they were already starting to enter the public eye.
"Didn't you watch that food documentary that aired this year, 'A Bite of China'? It introduced something similar to stinky tofu, both smell bad but taste delicious! However, the stinky smell of snail rice noodles comes from fermented pickled bamboo shoots, and it contains crispy pickled cowpeas and crispy fried tofu skin, making it both fresh, fragrant, sour, and spicy!"
"I'll check it out later! I've only seen bits and pieces of this documentary."
Listening to Yu Huan's vivid description, Lin Yourong seemed somewhat interested.
She quickly and skillfully tidied up the stove, took off her dishwashing gloves and hung them on the drain rack, and then she and Yu Huan strolled to the sofa one after the other.
Ok.
Lin Yourong was the one walking in front.
Yu Huan strode forward calmly and sat down next to Lin Yourong.
He picked up the remote and studied the old smart TV interface for a while, then immediately shook his head: "It can't be watched on TV, but it seems like it can be watched on iQiyi... Too troublesome, it seems to be only a ten-second shot..."
"Oh!" Lin Yourong picked up her Apple 5, unlocked it, and opened the iQiyi app: "Which episode is it?"
Yu Huan scratched her head and said hesitantly, "Is it the first episode?"
Lin Yourong nodded and turned up the volume a bit.
I watched it quietly.
Seeing this, Yu Huan turned off the TV and picked up her phone.
I'm browsing Tianya Community, which reached its peak this year. It's a place where many talented people are emerging. The great kk is posting a thread, making an amazing prediction about future real estate trends.
At that time, Zhihu had just been launched, and Tieba was just emerging. The golden age of Chinese website forums was Tianya Community.
It was popular for a time, but was eventually defeated by private domain traffic driven by capital. All forums and communities lost their fertile ground for survival.
Tianya Community suffered a particularly tragic fate, eventually becoming unable to even pay for its servers and having its domain name frozen.
When the times abandon you, they don't even give you a warning.
