It seems songwriting is still the most lucrative way to make money! I've been writing my novel for ages, and I still don't know how much I'll earn in the end, especially since the commission fees are ridiculously high.
Perhaps sensing Bai Qianqu's thoughts, the system's voice immediately rang out.
According to data, "The King's Avatar" generated approximately 13 billion yuan in revenue in 2020, averaging about 1 million yuan per month.
"How much, how much, how much?" Bai Qianqu couldn't help but blurt out.
Bronya thought he was scared by the song's revenue share, so she laughed and said, "It's only a little over five million and you can't handle it? Don't forget that your song was number one on the new song chart, so this amount of money is normal."
Bai Qianqu nodded haphazardly. He had indeed thought that five million was quite a lot, but the system's words made him realize that he was just a drop in the ocean.
Only now did he finally understand why a song only cost 500,000, while a novel cost a full 1.5 million!
After all, besides revenue sharing from subscriptions and downloads, the most a song can make money from is selling its copyright.
Besides its intrinsic value, the IP value generated by the novel is substantial. Movies, comics, animations, songs, and merchandise—aren't they all raking in the money?
Bai Qianqu was immediately filled with enthusiasm! She wished she could finish writing it in a day!
Bronya nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Bai Qianqu seemed to be instantly filled with power.
So even this lazy guy can be motivated by money.
Seeing this, Bronya chuckled.
"Qianqu, after you finish participating in the new singer competition, I'll apply for a B-level composer contract for you. If it's approved, your song subscription revenue share will increase to 2%!"
20%! That's 20%!
Bai Qianqu's breathing quickened, and she couldn't help but ask again, "What about the singer?"
“Singers are still ranked according to their level, and the company will make corresponding concessions in this regard. After all, the higher the level, the higher the status in the company.” Bronya deliberately tempted Bai Qianqu, “Once you reach level A, your profit sharing will become 30%! And you'll also have the right to negotiate with the company! The maximum could reach 50%!”
"50%!" Bai Qianqu gasped! They could actually split it 50/50 with the company! That's practically equal to the company's share!
“This is nothing,” Bronya coaxed. “Once we reach S-rank, the company will give up all its profits! They’ll even provide some subsidies!”
Bai Qianqu swallowed hard: "Wouldn't the company be losing money?"
Bronya smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, the company won't lose money. Besides the revenue from song subscriptions, the other additional revenue, such as advertising and commercial deals, is enough to make the company very wealthy. After all, the influence of songs written by S-level composers is too great, so there's no worry about not being able to get advertising deals."
"Moreover, leveraging the influence of S-level composers, the added value that the company values is far more important than actual money! Such as the company's reputation, etc."
Hearing this, Bai Qianqu nodded as if she understood.
He understood that the higher the level, the more money he would get!
Others would even be eager to give him money!
Seeing this, Bronya knew that her words had worked on Bai Qianqu, so she patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Keep it up, young man! Try your best to achieve good results in the Newcomer Singer Competition, and it will be much easier to apply for Grade B then."
Bai Qianqu nodded emphatically!
He had originally planned to just pick any song for Ying to sing and be done with it, but now it seems he has to take it seriously!
He immediately said, "I need to contact Ying and ask her to come to the company to test her voice. Then I'll write a song specifically for her!"
Bronya was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that Bai Qianqu would become so motivated after being encouraged by her.
Tailor-made!
This is not as simple as just saying it; it's equivalent to writing the most suitable song for the singer!
Chapter 79 The Most Suitable Song
As we all know, many songs can be sung by someone else, and they might even sing them better than the original singer.
There are even cases where a song has several versions, and each version is excellent.
For those original songs that cannot be surpassed, the singers become completely associated with the songs; whenever people talk about one, they immediately think of the other.
For example, when people talk about "Blue and White Porcelain," they think of Jay Chou; when they talk about "The Actor," they think of Xue Zhiqian; and when they talk about "Rain on Qingming Festival," they think of Xu Song.
This is an undisputed song that no cover version can replace.
Now that Bai Qianqu has actually said he wants to write a song like this for Ying, how can Bronya not be surprised?
However, Bai Qianqu fell silent after speaking. Bronya thought he was thinking about the song and didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid of disturbing him.
However, after holding it in for a long time, Bai Qianqu finally relaxed her brow.
"Have you thought it through?" Bronya asked excitedly.
Bai Qianqu shook her head: "No, I was thinking about something else. By the way, what are we having for lunch?"
Bronya: ???!!!!
"Bai Qianqu!!!"
The entire office suddenly shook, accompanied by Tom's howling.
Finally, Bronya, panting, released Bai Qianqu.
"If you can't come up with a song that satisfies me today, you're not leaving!"
Bai Qianqu looked pitiful, wondering if she had said something wrong.
He dusted himself off: "There is a song that is most suitable, but it is not the most suitable choice for participating in the new singer competition."
"Oh? Why?" Bronya tilted her head.
"Some songs lose much of their effect if they aren't listened to in conjunction with a story. It's the same principle as movie theme songs."
Bai Qianqu does have ideas, such as "Elysia" or "To Love - A song for beloved". Ying's voice is indeed very suitable for singing, but it is actually more suitable for Ai Li to sing.
"No.1" and "Monster" are also good, but since it's a cover song and you're going to participate in a new singer competition, you should naturally choose a song that's more suitable for the competition.
Bai Qianqu looked at the system panel in front of him, with countless songs surrounding him. He glanced at each song and then gave up on it.
But soon, a song appeared before his eyes.
This song—
Bai Qianqu couldn't help but reach out and tap on it.
The moment the song started playing, Bai Qianqu nodded slightly. If this song were used in a competition, it would definitely be good. She just didn't know if Yingmei could sing it.
Seeing this, Bronya couldn't help but ask, "Chiku, what are you grinning about? Have you come up with any ideas yet? If not, that's fine. You can think about it slowly when you get back."
She was just saying it in anger; how could she possibly let Bai Qianqu write the song right here?
Bai Qianqu didn't move, but instead looked at the custom price of the song.
[Customized "Walking in the Rain" is priced at 100 million!]
Bai Qianqu was speechless. The number of custom songs had actually increased to 100 million? Even "The Fleeting Years" only had 50!
The system's voice echoed in his mind.
The price for a custom order does not reflect the quality of the work; it is determined by various factors.
"You just want to rip me off now that I'm rich," Bai Qianqu thought to herself.
"Qianqu?" Bronya saw Bai Qianqu standing there motionless and couldn't help but step forward and wave her hand in front of his eyes. "Why are you suddenly spacing out again?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I just suddenly had an idea." Bai Qianqu chuckled. "Let's contact Ying first, I want to hear her voice."
“Okay.” Bronya didn’t waste any words and immediately made a call to Ying.
At this moment, Ying is having hot pot with Kong.
Ying used her chopsticks to remove the mutton from the empty chopsticks, and then quickly picked it up and put it in her own bowl.
null:
"You can't do that, sis!"
"Hmph!" Ying raised her chin arrogantly and said, "Only the strong are worthy of possessing delicious food!"
"What makes you so great?" Kong was extremely unconvinced.
"Is that even a question?" Ying put a piece of mutton in her mouth and chewed it a couple of times. "I remember we started learning to sing at the same time, right? Now I've already debuted, what about you, bro?"
Kong's eyes widened: "I...I just lack an opportunity!"
"hehe."
Ying chuckled and, taking advantage of a moment of distraction, scooped up another piece of mutton and put it in her mouth.
By the time Kong realized it, Ying had almost eaten all the mutton in the hot pot.
"You, you, you!" Kong felt like she was about to collapse, and suddenly stood up. "I can't stay in this house for another second! I'm running away from home!"
Ying pointed to the door with her chopsticks: "Remember to pay back the five hundred yuan you owe me before you leave."
null:
Damn it, heartless!
He sat back down obediently, feeling dejected, and tried to console himself.
He who takes a bribe is bound to be subservient; one who eats another's food must bow his head when under someone's roof; fortunes change; a gentleman seeks revenge.
Just then, Ying's phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, immediately put down her chopsticks, and then made a shushing gesture towards the air.
"It's a call from Anti-Entropy, don't speak."
Kong quickly covered her mouth.
Ying then pressed the answer button: "Hello."
On the other end of the phone, Bronya's voice came through: "Hello, Ms. Ying, this is Bronya. When would be a convenient time for you to come to Anti-Entropy Company? Teacher Qu Yin hopes to give you an audition so that we can work on the song later."
Ying nodded quickly: "Okay, I'm free anytime! I'll go over this afternoon!"
After hanging up the phone, Ying immediately beamed with joy.
"I'm going to Anti-Entropy this afternoon!"
Kong's face was full of envy, with a hint of pride.
My younger sister has really made something of herself! Entropy is the dream hall of countless musicians. Once you enter Entropy, you can meet many big names in the music industry and learn a lot.
Who knows, he might become an A-level, S-level, or even a singing champion in the future.
I should find a job; maybe I'm really not suited to be a singer.
I heard that Yurenzhong Security Company is hiring recently, maybe I can apply and give it a try.
