"This song is going to be a hit."
In his previous life, the most popular song on the internet was Mouse Loves Rice.
Although this song was relatively simple, it became popular all over the country after being spread on the internet.
At the same time that Mouse Loves Rice became popular, the composer of the song, Yang Chengang, also became very popular. However, it seemed that there was a dispute over the copyright of this song. Chen Yu took a look. The composer of this song was Yang Chengang, who was also the original singer. However, what everyone remembered was not Yang Chengang's version, but Wang Qiwen's cover version.
It was said that in his previous life, the two even went to court because of this.
However, Chen Yu did not care about the copyright of the two. What he was most excited about now was that this song appeared at the right time.
"Zhenyi, there's a song that needs your attention."
With a phone call, Chen Yu called Xie Zhenyi.
"Boss Chen, are you saying that Mouse Loves Rice?"
"Uh, you know about it?"
"How could I not know?"
Speaking of Mouse Loves Rice, Xie Zhenyi was also very excited. "You don't know how popular this song is now. Take our website, for example, this song has tens of thousands of comments. In addition, this song has become a must-have in all the major internet cafes. Also, this song is played on the streets from time to time. "
"I knew that our original music would always be popular. Now, it has finally appeared."
This popularity was more popular than any of the previous online songs.
Chen Yu felt the same.
On the way to class, Chen Yu heard the song "Mice Love Rice" being played on the campus broadcast.
"Zhenyi, contact Wang Qiwen and Yang Chengang. We'll buy the copyright of this song."
He remembered that in his previous life, the two were in court because of copyright issues.
Although the lawsuit had not started yet, once it involved interests, it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
"Yes, Boss Chen."
Xie Zhenyi also had the same idea.
He contacted Yang Chengang and Wang Qiwen on the same day.
The two of them were also confused about the sudden popularity of Mouse Loves Rice.
They did not know why Mouse Loves Rice suddenly became popular.
But no matter what, this song became popular.
YY Music Department spent 500,000 RMB to buy the full copyright of "Mice Love Rice".
Of course, this was for Yang Chengang.
As for Wang Qiwen, although it was a cover song, the copyright did not belong to him. However, it was also because of his cover that the song "Mouse Loves Rice" became popular. Hence, on Wang Qiwen's side, YY Music Department decided to sign a contract with Wang Qiwen.
They packaged it online and released a high-quality version of "Mice Love Rice".
However, this version was slightly different from the normal version.
In addition to the better sound quality, this song would be released for the first time with a VIP payment mechanism.
That's right.
The reason why YY Music Network was established was because they wanted to use the VIP model.
Pear Technology's MP3 player was already in mass production and would be launched soon. This VIP payment model had to be launched first to see the market's reaction.
"Boss Chen, I'm very nervous."
"What are you nervous about?"
"I'm worried that no one will pay."
The VIP payment model was the same as Qidian's.
First, they had to sign a singer and then release the demo version.
The sound quality of the demo version was neither good nor bad.
If the performance was good, they would release a high-quality VIP version.
The VIP payment would be split 50-50 with the signed singer.
The purpose of this was to attract more singers to YY Music Network.
"Don't worry, it's not very expensive. It's only 10 cents per song."
Chen Yu calmed Xie Zhenyi down. "Besides, that area has already proven that the VIP payment model is feasible."
"I know, but there will be pirated versions online soon."
"We can't completely control the pirated versions, but there are still people who support the original version."
In fact, this was the case in his previous life.
There were people who watched pirated versions and people who watched the original version.
Those who watched the original version did not watch it because they could not find pirated versions.
They did it because they wanted to support the original creator.
"Look at the YY group for" Mice Loves Rice ". There are hundreds of them now … A considerable number of them will choose to pay."
The 10 cents threshold was not high. Anyone who went online could afford it.
At the same time, in order to let all netizens have a more convenient payment platform, YY Music Network also cooperated with Universal Card. If you still don't know how to pay, you can ask the owner of the Internet Cafe. The owner can also help you pay.
Of course, you can also choose to pay with YY coins.
In short, there were many ways to pay. They wanted to let users pay for the first time in their lives.
"Everyone, the high-quality version of" Mice Loves Rice "will be released at 12 o 'clock. I hope that those who can support it can subscribe to the original version."
Wang Qiwen was also in the YY group.
This was a fan group created by a singer and Wang Qiwen was invited to the group.
Unlike other singers who were unreachable, Wang Qiwen was the same as all the fans in the group.
He was a living person who could chat and talk.
As for your questions, Wang Qiwen will also answer them.
The feeling of interacting with your favorite singer was great. At least there was no sense of distance.
At this moment, Wang Qiwen asked everyone in the group to support the subscription.
How should he put it?
Although the copyright of "Mice Loves Rice" was sung by Wang Qiwen, he was only singing a cover.
Up until now, he had yet to earn a single sum of money.
Of course, he was only singing a cover. The copyright was not his, and he could not be jealous of Yang Chengang's royalties.
Fortunately, YY Music Network had a VIP payment model.
If there are users who like your songs, you can still earn money from singing.
Although the price of a song was only 10 cents, it was still a visible profit.
If more people paid, not to mention how much money he earned, he could just maintain his life.
Wang Qiwen did not expect to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan. He only hoped to earn a few hundred yuan.
After all, he had lived a hard life in the music industry.
"Qiwen, don't worry."
Because it was the first time Xie Zhenyi had paid, he invited Wang Qiwen to the company this time.
Seeing that Wang Qiwen was a little nervous, Chen Yu walked over. "Look at how many fans support you."
Chen Yu understood Wang Qiwen's situation.
Like most people, Wang Qiwen was an ordinary singer who liked to sing.
He was not particularly talented, but he had a good voice.
He liked to sing, but he did not have a good life in reality.
"Support, it's only 10 cents. I will definitely support you."
"It costs one or two yuan to play an hour. If I don't support 10 cents, what else can I say?"
"No matter what, I'll be the first to subscribe when the payment is activated."
"I'll subscribe too. I've already charged YY coins. I'm just waiting for the subscription. However, isn't 10 cents too cheap? Can I order a few more? "
"You can open a few more accounts. I have to at least pay 1 yuan."
At this time, the Mouse Loves Rice fan group was also very lively.
Although they were not rich, it would be a joke to say that they could not afford 10 cents.
Of course, there were some who found it troublesome and did not want to subscribe. However, it did not matter. Huanyu Technologies did not want to say anything about it.
It was their freedom to pay or not.
Huanyu Technologies would not force others to pay, but Huanyu Technologies believed that there would always be some people who would support the singers in their hearts.
…
12 noon.
The VIP payment model was officially activated backstage.
At the same time, the high-quality version of "Mouse Loves Rice" was refreshed.
"Brothers, it's out. Subscribe."
"Wow, the sound quality is indeed much better. Download, download."
"I've already paid 10 cents. Am I supporting the official version now?"
"Yes, you're now an official subscriber."
"I'm subscribed. I hope there are new songs."
The netizens who had never consciously supported the official version supported the official version for the first time today.
It was a wonderful and refreshing feeling.
Anyway, after paying 10 cents, the netizens felt that their hearts had been cleansed.
I'm also an official subscriber from now on … With a smile on my face, the first official experience of countless friends felt good.
On the other side, Wang Qiwen looked at the backstage. Mouse Loves Rice was also rapidly increasing with the support of tens of thousands of users.
In just the first hour, "Mouse Loves Rice" had created 3000 subscribers.
According to the revenue, it was about 300 yuan.
However, it did not end there.
Because this was only the first hour.
As time passed, the number of subscriptions kept increasing.
Until 24 hours of the second day passed, "Mouse Loves Rice" broke 10000 subscriptions.
10000 subscriptions was not a terrifying record.
If he converted it into money, it would only be 1000 yuan.
If they split it 50-50, Wang Qiwen would get 500 yuan.
500 yuan was not a lot, but he made history.
Moreover, this subscription would not end here. It would continue to increase in the future.
"Let's go, let's celebrate."
Chen Yu was very satisfied with the result of breaking 10,000 subscriptions on the first day.
Although it was only 1,000 yuan in cash, it meant that 10,000 people had paid for it.
If he could attract 10,000 people on the first day, he could attract 100,000 people in the future, 1 million people, 10 million people, or even 100 million people …
It was not impossible.
As long as you paid the first fee, the road to the official version would open.
"Come, come, come, Qiwen. You're the hero today. Let me toast you."
"Boss Chen, how can you do that? I should be the one toasting you."
"You're welcome."
Chen Yu toasted Wang Qiwen.
Today's subscription results also allowed Chen Yu to breathe a sigh of relief.
This proved that paying for music was feasible.
Moreover, this payment made a good start for the upcoming MP3 launch.
"Zhenyi, how much do you think the subscription of Mouse Loves Rice will rise in a month?"
Everyone drank a cup. At this time, Chen Yu asked Xie Zhenyi at the table.
"About 100,000 subscriptions."
"100,000, so much."
Wang Qiwen was shocked.
If it was only 10,000 subscriptions, it was only 500 yuan, which was nothing.
But 100,000 subscriptions would be 5000 yuan, which was equivalent to half a year's salary.
However, Chen Yu shook his head. "Too little."
"Boss Chen, how much do you think it will rise?"
"10 times."
Chen Yu said calmly.
"1 million?"
Xie Zhenyi was stunned.
"Why, you don't believe it?"
"No, isn't 1 million too much?"
Although each song only cost 10 cents, everyone could afford it.
But it was one thing to afford it, and it was another thing to have 1 million people pay.
"Is it a lot? Not a lot. Maybe it will be more."
As he spoke, Chen Yu looked at Zhang Jianming. "Brother Jian, is it time for the payment system of our internet cafe to be online?"
