After seven years of being out of the spotlight, millions of fans are waiting for my return!
Chapter 42 My Song, Forever Free!
the other side,
Lin Mo is currently in talks with the three music giants about collaborations.
In an effort to secure a collaboration with him, the three music giants all sent their top executives to discuss the partnership with Lin Mo.
At this moment, the four people were sitting in a restaurant. Except for Lin Mo, the other three looked somewhat embarrassed.
They didn't expect Lin Mo to invite two other companies at the same time.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, everyone knew that the three families had always been rivals, each hoping the other two would go bankrupt so their own family could dominate the market.
But at this moment, they are sitting together discussing the same contract.
Finally, it was the director of the animal music platform who broke the silence.
"Mr. Lin Mo, I am the director of the Animal Music platform. I've come here today to discuss a collaboration with you."
"Your performance video of your new song 'As You Wish' has gone viral on various short video platforms in just a few hours since it was uploaded."
"To date, it has garnered over 300 million views and over 100 million comments."
"The entire internet is now urging you to release your new song."
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment. After returning home, he was busy preparing the concert setlist and had no time to check Weibo.
They had no idea that their songs had become wildly popular on various short video platforms.
After animal music broke the silence, the director of the online music translation platform also chimed in.
"Me too. I've come here with sincerity to discuss cooperation with you."
"Our company is willing to offer 120 million to acquire the full copyright of your song, with a revenue share of 60 million."
The words of the director of the online music platform made the directors of the other two music platforms burst out laughing on the spot.
The three families have been rivals for a long time, so they no longer care about falling out on the spot.
The director of the Cool platform, standing to the side, spoke unhurriedly.
"Teacher Lin Mo, our platform can offer you 100 million in full copyrights, plus an additional 20% revenue share."
"If it's a revenue-sharing arrangement, it's 50 million, and I'll give you 70% of the profits."
As one of the three largest music platforms, the director of the deep-pocketed Animal Music sneered and said,
"Teacher Lin Mo, our platform can offer 200 million for the full copyright, and 80 million for revenue sharing. However, our platform has an additional requirement: the contract has a time limit, and the cooperation period must be at least five years."
The director of the online music translation platform standing nearby almost choked with anger.
He was the one who first negotiated the terms, but these two were incredibly shameless, starting to raise the price right in front of him.
They even offered better terms than their platform!
At this moment, he could no longer sit still.
"Teacher Lin Mo, I respect your choice. However, since you have just returned to work, there may be some things you are not familiar with."
"One platform has very low traffic, and it has gone from being a top student to a poor student."
"There's another platform with a bad reputation, and its pricing model is outrageous, ranging from VIP to VVIP. As a result, it's often criticized by users and fans for its greedy practices."
The words of the director of the online music platform immediately made the faces of the directors of the other two music platforms turn ugly.
As a former industry leader, Cool Music platform has declined significantly.
The platform has suffered a significant loss of users, with traffic now only one-third that of the animal music platform.
Even the online music translation platforms that came later now have twice the traffic of it.
Animal Music Platform is notorious in the industry for its unethical practices.
A single song can have several different pricing models.
To listen to music, you must first become a VIP member. After becoming a VIP member, you are then prompted to unlock various listening modes.
Because of this pricing model, it has been called the platform with the ugliest profiteering practices by users and fans.
However, the director of the animal music platform didn't take these words to heart at all.
As the largest music platform in China, it has always been financially powerful, spending a lot of money to buy a lot of copyrights. Despite the criticism from users and fans, it still has the largest traffic among all music platforms.
Seeing his platform being ridiculed, the director of the Cool Music platform couldn't help but say,
"That's still better than some platforms that don't even have many copyrighted songs. Unlike some platforms that started out free, then changed their minds and started charging, and now they don't even have many copyrighted songs, so users can only listen to covers if they want to listen to music."
The director of the animal music platform couldn't resist adding insult to injury.
"Our platform also charges a fee, but we can guarantee that users are listening to the original versions, unlike some platforms where you pay but can only listen to pirated versions."
"In terms of traffic, our platform dares to say it's second to none, and no other platform dares to say it's first."
The words of the directors of the other two music platforms made the director of the NetEase Music platform look helpless.
In terms of traffic, their platform can't compete with Animal Music; in terms of copyright, it can't compete with Cool Music. They're stuck in a limbo, neither here nor there.
However, he didn't want to give up so quickly.
Anyone with a brain can see Lin Mo's current popularity and online traffic.
Now, whichever company signs with Lin Mo will reap huge profits and traffic in the future.
This is also why the other two platforms still wanted to give it a try, even though they knew the animal music platform would charge a high price.
"Teacher Lin Mo, what our platform needs most right now is top-tier singers. If you come to our platform, we will focus on supporting your songs."
Seeing that the director of the NetEase Music platform was playing tricks again, the director of the Cool Music platform hurriedly said,
"Mr. Lin Mo, although our platform has limited traffic, we can dedicate all our resources to supporting your song. Furthermore, our platform can create idols."
"If you join our platform, you will become the only god on our platform."
"Unlike some platforms, which, although they have a lot of traffic, are places where all the top players are fighting, and the traffic allocated to each platform is limited."
The director of the animal music platform was speechless after hearing these words.
Although their platform has a large user base, it also has many top artists, including Jay Chou, whose songs are exclusively released on their platform.
Because of this, their platform simply cannot, like Cool Music and WebTranslation Music, devote all their traffic to creating idols.
However, as the largest music platform in Daxia, they can make up for it in other ways.
"Mr. Lin Mo, our platform can't support your song across the entire platform, but we can offer you 200 million for full copyright, plus an extra 20% revenue share. In terms of revenue share, it would be 100 million for 50%."
The words of the director of the animal music platform made the directors of the other two platforms practically spit fire.
Just because you're rich doesn't mean you're all that!
How can we play like this?!
Lin Mo, who had finally gotten a chance to interject, hurriedly said,
"Directors, I'd like to share my personal thoughts."
"Seven years ago, I promised my fans that they could listen to my songs for free. That was my promise to them, and I still hold that belief now."
"Not only that, all my songs from now on will be free to listen to."
Lin Mo's words drew surprised looks from the directors of the three music platforms.
If it were any other singer, faced with such generous terms, they would probably already be weighing how to maximize their profits.
Lin Mo, surprisingly, continues to offer his songs for free to keep a promise he made seven years ago.
Even if it continues to be completely free in the future.
For a moment, they were also moved by Lin Mo's spirit of contract.
Their purpose in meeting with Lin Mo today was to discuss cooperation. Seeing that this great opportunity was about to be missed, they no longer cared about competing with him.
"Mr. Lin Mo, you could have found another reason to charge. Besides, your songs are currently the only ones on the platform that are free. Doing this will make other singers unhappy."
"Yes, now everyone pays to listen to music, so your fans won't blame you for doing this."
"Don't worry, our platform will explain this to your fans directly, and we guarantee that no fans will unfollow you."
At this moment, Lin Mo saw those innocent faces.
Back then, they were just a group of students, and they scraped together money from all over to support him.
He even went so far as to buy his favorite Gundam.
How could he possibly betray his promise now!
Lin Mo shook his head and explained in detail why he had promised to listen to songs for free.
After listening, the directors of the three music platforms looked at Lin Mo with admiration once again.
This is the true power of idols!
"I want to collaborate with all three of you at the same time, even if I get paid less, I want to continue listening to music for free."
Lin Mo's words once again surprised the directors of the three music platforms, who nodded almost simultaneously.
Finally, the three music platforms signed a contract with Lin Mo for 20 million yuan and a one-year cooperation period.
Although Lin Mo insisted on offering it for free, for their platform, even if it were free, there would still be huge traffic and profits.
Moreover, given Lin Mo's current popularity, his future commercial value will be even greater, so they are guaranteed to make a profit!
