Chapter 22 The First Income in the Future

On the way home from school, Zhou Rui took Li Wenqian and checked the system messages while walking.

The test was over. No matter how nervous he was, he couldn't change the result. He might as well look at the experience.

The most important thing for a centaur is to be happy!

"Task entry: Self-disciplined, experience value +1, current progress (80/100)"

"Task entry: Inspiration, experience value +1, current progress (34/100)"

"Task entry: Perseverance, current progress (1/100)"

[Self-disciplined] task experience value is still steadily increasing. Zhou Rui is indeed very self-disciplined now. He gained a lot yesterday and today.

And the experience of the [Inspiration] entry is still a rare opportunity.

But what made Zhou Rui speechless was the [Perseverance] entry task.

After two days of failure, he only gained a little experience!

It was obtained when Zhou Rui was reviewing until two o'clock in the morning yesterday, when he was almost exhausted.

If the [Inspiration] experience value is rare, then it is rare.

Then the experience of [Perseverance] can only be called "a little bit of pleasure, a lot of harm".

During a review session that was almost overnight, Zhou Rui's CPU was burnt out, and he turned on "focus time" to gain a pitiful amount of experience. I'm afraid this entry will have to come slowly.

If you do it too much, you may have to go to the hospital.

In other words, it is not very efficient to gain [Perseverance] experience through "learning". When you have time, you can try physical exercise, which may be more suitable.

After confirming the progress of the system, Zhou Rui took out his mobile phone, slid sideways, and opened the full keyboard of N97.

The unique structure attracted the attention of several junior high school girls from Qinghe No. 1 Middle School.

Zhou Rui ignored everything else and logged into his mailbox.

There was actually an email!

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up. After being tortured by the small test for a day, is there finally good news?

He only used this mailbox once, which was to submit a manuscript for "Starry Sea", so it was most likely a reply from there.

When I opened the email, the content was very long. The first half was full of official language, such as thanking for participation and celebrating the birthday.

The second half is the key!

"Starry Sea" was successfully selected into the "National Day Tribute, Singing for 60 Years" event with its super high quality, and became one of the songs in the "60th Anniversary Celebration of the Motherland".

Of course, there are also more than 30 songs selected together.

Zhou Rui was not too excited. In his opinion, this song should be selected. Just like in later generations, it is a song that fits extremely well.

The musical concept and expression of "Starry Sea" were relatively advanced in 2009, which means that it can attract attention.

But it is not too forward, and it still focuses on emotions and melody, which echoes the mainstream aesthetics of the current era.

It is advanced, but not to the point of being incomprehensible.

This also means that it is a "stunning" work.

If Zhou Rui took out a "rap song" or "electronic music song" similar to later generations, it would probably only be regarded as heresy.

The email is not over yet, the last part is the real stuff.

First, the other party hopes that Zhou Rui can prepare all the copyright documents to confirm whether it is original.

Second, "Starry Sea" will be included in the "Singing for the Birthday" CD sold all over the country. This is not a record, it is basically digested internally, and sent to various enterprises and institutions along with some souvenirs and the like.

This will generate a one-time copyright fee, but not too much.

Third, although the submitted work is of high quality and perfect, I still hope that Zhou Rui can take time to go to the top recording studio in Beijing to make this song more perfect.

Round-trip air tickets, hotel meals and accommodation can be reported, including the singer "A Qian" and the producer "A Bin" can also come together.

Fourth, "Starry Sea" will be promoted to enterprises and institutions across the country in the next few months together with other songs, and become a related activity track, such as the chorus of various state-owned enterprises and local departments, or simply local celebrations, shopping malls, etc.

These will generate copyright usage fees. The unit price is not high, but the number will be extremely large. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is blooming everywhere.

Fifth, I hope to communicate with Zhou Rui face to face, and it would be best if I could go directly to Beijing North. There are still many things to discuss later. The person who sent the email hinted to Zhou Rui that the above four points were just the beginning, and the take-off of "Starry Sea" had just begun. In addition, he also expressed interest in other works of "A Rui".

Signed: 60th Anniversary Art Guidance Working Group.

Zhou Rui touched his chin

It is impossible for them to go to Beijing North in a short time

But when he saw the table about the usage fee below, Zhou Rui's eyelids jumped.

It's not a big deal as long as there is money to make.

All over the country, governments at all levels, and various enterprises and institutions will hold some celebrations at this time of the 60th anniversary. Some are tasks from above, and some are spontaneously organized.

And music, the art with the widest audience, is naturally the first. If you ask some large state-owned enterprises to organize painting, I'm afraid few people can come, but if you organize a chorus, hundreds of people will come in minutes.

Even a community can form an overstaffed elderly choir.

In addition, all shopping malls and squares will also play the celebration songs in a loop from now on, and the closer it gets to October, the higher the frequency.

All of these, including those in the public promotional videos produced by entities at all levels, will generate a copyright fee of a low unit price as long as "Starry Sea" is used.

1,000 yuan.

It does not count the time or the number of times it is used. It is valid for one year.

It may not seem like much, but it is actually very powerful.

The main reason is that other songs cannot collect this part of the copyright fee.

But celebration songs can.

In recent years, the country has been promoting intellectual property rights in a high-profile manner. It wants to improve its overall competitiveness and international image. Music copyright is also one of them. Especially under the theme of "60th Anniversary", the users are enterprises and institutions at all levels. There is no need to save this money.

It can also be regarded as a model for the society. This money can still be paid by departments at all levels.

But I am afraid the total amount will be extremely large.

Think about it, if the street elderly choir wants to perform in the community, Zhou Rui can also get 1,000 yuan.

Well, before tax

And this kind of behavior will continue for nearly half a year

Zhou Rui can't estimate what the final total income will be, but it should not be a small number.

The most important thing is that the copyright is still in Zhou Rui's hands, not sold to the official.

When "Starry Sea" is sung all over the country in this special way.

Other income will also flow into Zhou Rui's pocket like a tide.

The platform fee, the commercial performance fee, other TV programs wanting to use it, and even other stars wanting to sing it, will all incur considerable fees.

The street choir charges 1,000 yuan for singing it once, but it’s not the same price for playing it on a TV show.

The stars want to sing it, and the price will rise even more, because the popularity of "Starry Sea" has been maximized by then.

A song, not a drop of oil was wasted, it took off with the wind, and it was all squeezed out.

Zhou Rui immediately told Li Wenqian beside him the good news. The little girl didn’t have enough understanding of the subsequent development. She only knew that her song "Starry Sea" was selected, which was enough for her to jump up happily.

The little thin legs flew back, and the whole person was like a little rabbit, jumping and jumping in Zhou Rui’s arms.

"Zhou Rui! Success! Your song was selected!"

Zhou Rui scratched her nose and corrected: "It’s our song, me, you, and Song Bin. I’ll send a text message to the fat boy to tell him the good news."

But he didn’t know that there was a little episode ahead.

The author who loves to cry, luck won’t be too bad!

Woohoo! I want votes!
