From elementary school music teacher to superstar

Chapter 133 I Can't See Clearly

As the New Year approached, people suddenly discovered that many English songs on the KK music platform had disappeared.

Just when they were still wondering, TT Music announced that it had reached an agreement with Shina Records to obtain the exclusive copyright agency for all albums and songs under Shina Records.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.

Shiner Records is one of the five largest record companies in the western world, occupying 25% of the western music market, and the number of songs under its banner is extremely large.

Although TT Music's statement did not mention how much money they spent and what price they paid to win the exclusive copyright agency, the amount must not be too small.

This matter does not have much impact on most people, but it is a bit troublesome for some people who like to listen to English songs.

Originally, KK Music has a mobile platform, and you only need to download one KK to listen to all the songs, but now you may have to download another TT Music.

Many people have scolded TT on the Internet, saying that they have money to do whatever they want.

In the meeting room of the KK music headquarters, Kang Yuda was also cursing.

Ding Hualiang, the king of Yuda Records, once released several English songs.

The copyright of two of them was in Shi Na's hands, and they couldn't be negotiated at that time, but Ding Hualiang liked it very much, so he posted it.

Unexpectedly, now, the songs of Shiner Records are all removed from the shelves of KK Music, and even the songs of Ding Hualiang are also removed from the shelves.

He was naturally very upset.

"Mr. Kang, calm down, cursing is useless now."

Ye Jiantian frowned when he heard him scolding non-stop.

"I'm angry!"

Kang Yuda gritted his teeth fiercely, "You tell me, what should we do?"

Ye Jiantian ignored him and looked at Wang Tao, "Mr. Wang, has KK speculated on how much this will affect us?"

Wang Tao smiled wryly, "It's just that Shiner's song was taken off the shelves. The impact is not too great, but with TT's style of doing things, it is very likely that several other western record companies will be negotiated by him one after another."

"By then, there won't be many English songs left on our platform."

He frowned and continued, "Of course, this is not the most important thing. After all, the audience for domestic English songs is still much smaller than that of Chinese songs. It's just because of these things that TT Music's momentum may rise."

Ye Jiantian and Li Hangjing looked at each other, and they both nodded slowly.

It's one thing to gain momentum, on the other hand, TT should be hoarding copyrights to prepare for future negotiations with their KK.

Exclusive copyright agency means that if KK wants to put these songs on the shelves again, it may need to pay a fee to TT, and TT has the final say whether to agree or not.

Don't you have the copyright of most domestic songs?I now have the right to represent the copyright of English songs, which is to use resources to collide with resources and force KK to negotiate.

It is not enough to drive KK to extinction. The ultimate goal of TT should be to be able to obtain the right to play songs from the four major records, so that everyone can communicate with each other.

In fact, before, TT also came to KK to propose whether the two sides could negotiate a solution.

They even approached the Big Four record companies, looking for a way to get their songs played.

Although there was no mention of the final offer, the attitude was that he was ready to be slaughtered.

But as long as there is no mutual exchange, KK has no advantage, and they will naturally ignore each other's request.

"give him."

Ye Jiantian pondered for a moment and said, "Given him the market and audience for these English songs, plus the Chinese songs they have less than ten points in their hands, they won't attract many people. We still have the advantage."

Not to mention that Shina has already signed a contract with TT, even if it is the songs of several other western record companies, KK does not have the confidence to compete with TT.

It's better to just let go of this one, as long as you keep your bottom line, you can be invincible.

He thought for a while and continued: "However, in addition to the four of us who absolutely must hold on to the copyright, other small and medium-sized companies must also do a good job of appeasing them, and we can't let them go to TT again."

Kang Yuda nodded, "Well, Mr. Zheng could see it clearly at the time, and give them some sweets in time to win them over."

Wang Tao asked: "Why didn't Mr. Zheng come over today?"

At the beginning, KK Music was acquired jointly by the four major record companies, each with 25% of the shares. Therefore, when it comes to KK, it is usually decided by four people at the same time.

Zheng Qinglan didn't come over this time, so he naturally felt a little strange.

Li Hangjing and Kang Yuda looked at Wang Tao, but neither spoke.

"President Zheng's words... there may be something wrong."

Ye Jiantian paused, "Let's not talk about her, let's continue to talk about how to deal with it."

The old man of the Zheng family is critically ill, and the Zheng family is in a mess. Whether Zheng Qinglan can continue to be in charge of the Lark is still unknown.

I'm afraid they are fighting at home now, and they definitely can't take care of it here.

Of course they knew this, but there was no need to tell Wang Tao.

Li Hangjing didn't open his mouth all the time, but now he said: "I definitely agree with appeasing small and medium-sized companies in this extraordinary period, but those who cooperate with Lu Xin must be excluded."

They got the news that Lu Xin and Zhou Huaiyong actually got together, and they did something to listen to music, and now they can be regarded as the enemy and opponent of KK Music.

Not to mention, Fang Man, the number one queen of Huamei Records, seems to have chosen not to renew his contract with the company. The reason for this is probably Lu Xin.

This made Li Hangjing almost angry.

"Mr. Li, Jing Ting Music is not yet online. I guess their business strategy should be similar to ours. In the face of TT, we directly banned the singers and companies that cooperate with Lu Xin. Isn't it a little hasty?"

Wang Tao thought for a while and said, in his opinion, the dispute between KK and TT is, fundamentally speaking, a dispute over routes.

They KK want to continue the previous album sales strategy, but TT wants to take the free route to attract users, and then charge membership fees.

Listening to music was created by Zhou Huaiyong, and Lu Xin broke up with TT before. He thought he was going to sell an album, but at this time it might be a friendly army.

"Don't worry, Jing Ting Music has no money and no copyright, so it can't make waves."

Li Hangjing sneered, "Lu Xin's creative ability is really not to be underestimated. We want to push him to a corner and come here to ask for peace."

"I agree."

Kang Yuda smiled, "However, you can't force it too hard. If you force it to TT's side, the gain will outweigh the loss. In the end, we might as well take the initiative. Talented musicians must be given preferential treatment."

Ye Jiantian also nodded, "Well, let's make it so. Platforms compete for users, but users cannot be retained without good content. Lu Xin still has to be caught."

Listening to their words, Wang Tao couldn't help sighing secretly.

He understood Zhou Huaiyong's situation back then. Lu Xin's existence was a good thing for all record companies, and they could all invite songs.

And adding excellent content is naturally a good thing for the KK platform.

But when the four major record companies only want Lu Xin to be used by them and write songs for them to force them, the interests of the platform and the four major records are somewhat different.

Such a platform completely controlled by the Big Four, if Zhou Huaiyong had not monopolized management rights in the past few years, and most of the Internet giants were still developing, and they had not had time to deploy the music industry, they might have started to decline long ago.

It is not possible to persist until now to dominate.

It's just that now that Zhou Huaiyong has resigned, TT has stepped in, and Jingting Music is about to go live to disrupt the situation, he suddenly can't see clearly what will happen in the future.
