Chapter 173 One more thing
After Zheng Hongmei left, Ye Jiantian frowned and walked out of the office.
TT Music has been spending a lot of money recently. As far as he knows, several small companies have been recruited over the past few days.
Although the general trend of the KK platform is still there, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but it has also been damaged.
Today is the time for the meeting of the four shareholders. If it wasn't for Meng Fanying's matter, he might have already left.
"A troubled autumn."
Although it is spring now, Ye Jiantian said with emotion.
After all, TT Music is backed by a big tree and has sufficient funds to deploy.
As far as those songs from small companies, especially old songs from the past, what are they worth?
They were able to get a lot of copyright agency fees, no wonder they couldn't resist the temptation.
When we arrived at the KK music conference room, the other three people had already arrived, and Wang Tao was also there. Recently, KK has a lot of things to do, and basically the five of them have a meeting to discuss.
This reminded Ye Jiantian that when Zhou Huaiyong was still there, although the four of them held shares and received dividends, they had little say in their daily operations.
Even part of the profits from KK Music, Zhou Huaiyong also used to upgrade the platform, spent instead of giving them all.
That is to say, about a year before Zhou Huaiyong's departure, as the deadline for his management rights approached, the four major record companies began to have more and more power.
Of course, even in the first few years, the dividends they receive every year are still very considerable, and they hardly need to worry about it.
But now although there are more things, after all, I have the final say, it still feels different.
On this point, he is in the same position as the other record companies. The platform that determines the future of their four major records is still in his hands.
"How? What were you talking about?"
After entering the door and sitting down, Ye Jiantian looked at several people.
"What are you talking about, I haven't started yet, I'm waiting for you."
Li Hangjing frowned, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye is also here, so why don't you tell us about the situation."
Fang Man has already confirmed that he will not renew his contract, and he will leave soon after it expires. He is in a bad mood.
Wang Tao nodded, "This time TT doubled the copyright agency fee, which really has a great impact on us. So far, many small companies have proposed to remove songs and albums from KK."
He frowned and continued: "If you don't come up with a solution as soon as possible, the worst result may be that half of the small and medium-sized companies will leave the platform."
In fact, when TT Music was first established last time, half of the small companies were taken away, and now the remaining small and medium companies on the KK platform are only half of the original ones.
If you remove half of the existing company this time, it will be half of half.
In other words, TT Music will increase its share from 15.00% to [-]%.
Although the increase is not large, it has almost occupied the share except for the four major records.
This is not good news for the KK platform.
"What's your suggestion, Mr. Wang?"
Ye Jiantian felt that Wang Tao should have something to say, so he asked.
"I have two proposals."
Wang Tao thought for a while and said, "One, continue to optimize the platform's recommendation and ranking mechanism, so that small and medium-sized companies can make money, and make more money, so they will be determined."
"The second is content. As long as you can control the most high-quality music content, users will stay loyal. Our biggest advantage is still users, and the vast majority of users are still on our platform."
"So, the previous practice of banning Lu Xin cannot continue."
He smiled wryly, "Like the last time I listened to music on the tour, Lu Xin's songs were on Jingting music, didn't people still buy them? Although they downloaded them, they still put them on KK to listen to, but what about next time? "
"Next time they might just listen to it directly on the Silent Music."
Zheng Qinglan frowned and asked, "You mean to re-approve Lu Xin's song on KK?"
Wang Tao nodded, "Yes, but it's not whether we agree or not, but whether Lu Xin will come back."
There is no doubt that the sales volume of songs on Jingting Music is definitely not as high as that on the KK platform. After all, the number of users is not at the same level.
It's just that Jingting Music has Lu Xin's shares, so it depends on how he chooses.
However, after discussing with the four people, they said that they can talk to Lu Xin about the listing, but they did not reach an agreement on the continued open reform of the platform and the move of giving profits to small and medium-sized companies.
This made Wang Tao a little helpless.
But he can't help it. Speaking of it, he is just a professional manager, a senior part-time worker.
"One more thing."
Putting aside the topic just now, Wang Tao continued, "Pedro, the world's piano master, will come to Beijing to give lectures in the next two days. It just so happens that our copyright agent for piano music with him is about to expire, and we need to talk about it then."
Piano music is quite special. Not to mention many ancient piano music, which have exceeded the copyright period and entered the field of public copyright.
Anyone can perform and play, even ordinary people can record.
Although the performance recordings of some famous artists are still protected, and they still have to pay when they are used, the cost is much less after all.
Pedro is different. Except for the early works, most of his later works are some modern piano pieces, and most of the copyrights are in his hands.
To keep these songs on the platform, you need to pay copyright agency fees.
These piano pieces don't have many audiences, but they are all relatively loyal. If it is not a last resort, naturally they should try their best to retain the agency rights.
Several people discussed it and decided to talk to Pedro as soon as possible at that time, trying to sign the contract before TT reacted.
In fact, if TT didn't come out to disrupt the situation, it should be easy to deal with. The copyright agency fee for this kind of piano music is not high, and it used to be a direct renewal.
At this time, in Beimeng, in the recording studio of Luxin Studio.
Lu Xin and Zhang Ruoxi are recording in it, "Dream Wedding" guitar fingerstyle duet.
They have done this fingerstyle coordination countless times, and there is no difficulty in recording it. After recording about seven or eight times, they stopped.
Ling Xue listened to it from the beginning to the end outside, and there was almost no difference between each time, but she was not good at this, so she still had to wait for Lu Xin to come out and listen to it by herself.
"How is it? Which number do you choose?"
The two came out, and after listening, Lu Xin asked Zhang Ruoxi.
Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said, "I think the third play is the best."
In fact, you don’t need to listen, you can feel it when you play it yourself.
Lu Xin also nodded, "Then choose the third one."
"Okay, I'll go in and record "Castle in the Sky" again."
With that said, he pushed the door open again and went in.
After testing, the effect of this recording studio is not bad. Feng Jun and the others have already come to Beimeng. After recording these fingerstyles, they will start thinking about making an album.
