Yueyin Online Media then launched a new column that allows users to upload songs they created, provided that the song does not infringe on others' copyrights.

If there is any infringement, Yueyin Online Media will not only delete the song, but will also recover the subscription fees previously issued, and will also hold him accountable.

This move is to attract some musicians who have no access, lack of appreciation, but are talented.

There are still many such people in the United States. You should know that not to mention self-taught people, there are as many as six digits of students in various music schools in the United States every year. Many of them are talented, but they are not appreciated. It is very difficult to make money from music.

This is like every year when students graduate from various performing arts schools. Each of them is from a professional class and has a foundation in acting skills, but not many people can really make a name for themselves.

Many people are forced to play supporting roles and have to wait for opportunities. They may not be popular for several years or even for life. There are also many people who are forced to change careers and cannot survive in this industry.

Talents like this are actually often lacking an opportunity. If the opportunity is obtained, their performance will definitely be eye-catching.

Summer is to provide them with such an opportunity.

...

In order to attract users to upload their own songs, Yueyin Online Media launched a special event to hold the "Original Got Talent Show".

After the user uploads the song to Yueyin Online Media, the audience and professional judges will score it. The top three will receive huge cash rewards of 300,000, 200,000 and 100,000 US dollars, as well as the opportunity to sign a contract with Colombia and Universal Records.

Although the United States is the world's largest country, the income of the vast majority of people is not high. For many people, 100,000 US dollars is already a huge sum of money.

Reality shows like "Survivor" and "Big Brother" will be kept in the end, and the bonus will be only 100,000 US dollars. Therefore, the "Original Got Talent" event launched by Yueyin Online Media immediately attracted the attention of the American people.

Subsequently, many people uploaded their works, hoping to win the grand prize. In less than a month, the number of songs uploaded by users alone had reached one million, which was comparable to the decades of accumulation in the Chinese music scene.

It has to be said that such activities involving the whole people can indeed create a considerable miracle.

But to be honest, among these more than one million songs, only a small number of quality songs account for a small number of them, and more of them are some musical junk.

In fact, at the beginning of the event, Yueyin Online Media had already expected that someone would make up for the numbers, such as uploading the songs they did as masterpieces.

Therefore, it is stipulated in the event that when users upload, in addition to uploading the singing version, it is more important to upload the lyrics and simplified scores so that they can officially participate in the competition.

Knowing how to write lyrics and simplified scores is actually just the most basic talent of musicians, but this is enough to distinguish between professionals and ordinary people, and to eliminate those who are just a simplified person.

After all, even if ordinary people can write lyrics, they may know nothing about simplified scores. Although people who don’t even know the simplified scores may suddenly appear and create good songs. But that probability is too low, just like a person who doesn’t know a lot of big words and suddenly writes an article with brilliant writing.

But even though Yueyin Internet media took precautions, they still couldn't resist the greed of some people. In order to win the huge prize as much as possible, they passed all the songs they created, hoping to cast a wide net and catch more fish.

Although these songs have lyrics and simplified scores, they are still rubbish.

Just like Phoebe in "Friends", among the songs she wrote, "smelly-at" is probably only barely considered a song, but other songs are basically rubbish.

...

Although the collection of a large number of garbage songs not only occupies valuable storage space, but also has no use value, this "Original Got Talent" event is still very successful.

On the one hand, although there are many garbage songs, there are also many excellent songs. After all, there is never a shortage of talented people in this world.

On the one hand, "Original Got Talent Show" attracted hundreds of thousands of "musicians" to participate in the competition for awards and attracted tens of millions of people to click and listen, bringing great traffic to Yueyin online media.

On the one hand, all "musicians" must first sign an agency contract before participating in the competition. The contract stipulates that musicians must hand over the copyright of their works to Colombia and Universal Records for distribution.

...

Generally speaking, there are three situations for copyright authorization in the US record industry.

One is to fully serve the publisher and usually owns all copyrights of its musicians. And its copyright will not expire until seventy years after the musician's death.

Of course, the greater the power, the greater the obligation. They usually have to pay large advances for musicians and are also responsible for helping musicians promote them.

One is the publisher of the musician, which means that the musician is his own boss and owns all the copyrights of his own works without any company helping to promote it.

For example, the famous prime (Prince) is such a weird thing. However, because the musicians have limited energy, connections, financial resources, channels, etc., they are usually responsible for the promotion and development of their works, and they often fail to achieve great returns and cannot get a good return. Therefore, musicians usually hand over the copyright to large distribution companies.

One is to manage the publisher. If the musician really can’t bear to give it to any company and does not want to hand it over to any company, but it is difficult for him to manage these works independently, then he can entrust the management publisher to be an agent.

The management publisher does not own the copyright of the musician and is only responsible for promoting them, and the contract is usually only five to ten years. However, the management publisher does not need to pay the musician's advance payment in advance, so the risk is relatively small.

Of course, their income is much smaller. For example, the full service publisher has all copyrights, which is 55% of the total profits from the musician. The management publisher can only get 5% to 15% of the royalties, which is a big difference.

...

The contract launched by Yueyin Online Media is to be the management and publisher of these musicians, with a contract period of two years.

Because at the beginning of these musicians' creation, Yueyin Online Media did not pay them, and may not work too hard to promote their works in the future.

After all, there is too much garbage, and it is difficult to promote it, so it is the management and distributor, and the term is only two years, which is reasonable and musicians can accept it.

If Yueyin Online Media wants to serve as a fully serviced publisher and get all copyrights without spending a penny, then the musician will only have a ghost if he dares to agree.
