Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Secretly, Zhou Rui became the top grader in Qinghe No. 1 Middle School. Of course, this is only one of the most insignificant things represented by 730 points. New 𝟼𝟿 Book Bar→𝟼𝟿𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚡.𝚌𝚘𝚖

This good news is currently only spread in a small area. The college entrance examination is approaching and the rankings are generally not announced. Most students only know the results of themselves and their friends.

But Qinghe No. 1 Middle School has such a great talent like Zhou Rui. It’s unclear how long the school and teachers can hold back.

In the next two days, Zhou Rui was not affected and continued to get up early to exercise and strive to get new entries as soon as possible.

"Entry task [strengthening physical fitness], current progress (24/100)"

"Entry task [Inspiration]: Current progress (62/100)"

"Entry task [Perseverance]: Current progress (20/100)"

Zhou Rui panted violently, his lungs no longer had the strong burning sensation as before, and his heartbeat remained at a reasonable state.

This is the result of his exercise during this period. Although the system entries have not been updated, his cardiopulmonary ability has indeed been strengthened.

However, as his physical fitness improved, it took him longer and longer to "reach his limit and then maintain it after breaking through", so he joined the "HIT" exercise, also known as the famous burpee, to speed up his consumption.

In this era, "Bobby" was still a very new thing, so the adults and aunts walking in the park would look at him sideways every time, feeling that this child had some serious illness.

In addition, Zhou Rui discovered a new change in the system.

That is the display of the [Focused Person] entry in the system. There is a touch of green at the far left of the text.

It's just two "horizontal" edges, then an inner place. new

When he first obtained the entry, the system once reminded Zhou Rui of the [Concentrated Person] entry, which could be upgraded by consuming concentration and using concentration time.

But there has been no progress display or more specific explanation, so Zhou Rui can't feel it.

Until today, Zhou Rui finally realized what the so-called "upgrade" was about.

The entries are changing from "white" to "green".

If I have to say, there is about 5%? 10% progress? Zhou Rui is not so sure

But this is a good start! I don’t know what changes this self-upgrading [entry] will eventually produce.

It’s worth being happy!

As usual, he went to the bathhouse to take a 5-dollar bath. When Zhou Rui dried his short hair and prepared to go to school, he received an email.

The emails in this mailbox are basically related to "music", so Zhou Rui has always attached great importance to it.

Ignoring the various so-called "cooperation" emails, Zhou Rui directly clicked on the email from "Zhu Yaoqing".

After scanning it slightly, Zhou Rui's heart moved

"Color ring tone business?"

This word is a little far away from Zhou Rui. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this is a very important music business in this era.

The CRBT business is a subcategory of telecommunications business and is handled by the CRBT company under the telecommunications company.

That is, when answering/calling, replace the most common beeping sound with music.

It appeared relatively early, but has only become popular in recent years. new

Because of the rise of the draft.

It can be said that talent shows such as Super Girl, Happy Boy, Come on Good Guys, and the future "The Voice" have dominated variety shows for the past 10 years.

This has also given rise to a unique market that is not too obvious, but allows musicians to make a lot of money, that is, the ring tones market.

It is also the earliest paid music market to become active in China.

Zhou Rui vaguely remembered seeing the news in his previous life. Three years later, the four mentors of "The Voice" had appearance fees ranging from 5 million to 20 million. They had already shocked the entertainment industry at the time. Afterwards, after calculation, "the color ringback was divided" Business, the per capita income actually exceeds 100 million.

For all the contestants' songs in the show, the instructors get a share of the ringtones. With so many contestants and so many works, it's really hard to sit and count the money.

So why do all the big guys in the music industry want to be mentors? Why do the players have to suffer even though they are shameless?

It's all business!

Not to mention pretending to be miserable on stage, many people can’t even wear their clothes when faced with money.

The rules for dividing the ring back tones business are also very simple and straightforward, in the informal style of a "telecommunications company."

The consumer pays two yuan, and the copyright owner shares half.

In other words, if 1 million people use this ring tone, the copyright owner will receive 1 million pre-tax income.

No need to perform acupuncture, no need to hold a concert, no need to have dinner with the sponsor, just sit at home and wait.

Simple, crude, and effective.

Zhou Rui was speechless when he saw it!

For musicians, this is definitely a bonus of the times! Even if it’s a short-lived bonus.

It can only be said that in this era, paid music is still a new thing, and the market is not monopolized by giants, so the pricing, sharing, and treatment given to copyright holders are much more generous than in the future.

There is quite a sense of barbaric growth, and Telecom doesn't care about this "little money".

Zhu Yaoqing's email said: Due to the widespread singing of "Stars and Sea" and "Youth", and because "Xin Company" has its own "mission", its subsidiary CRBT company wanted to contact "A Rui" and found him. went.

Sending an email to Zhou Rui is to inform Zhou Rui of this matter. If Zhou Rui is interested, give him his contact information, and the CRBT company will contact him later.

interested! So damn interested!

The income from the ringtone business will definitely reach a thrilling level.

Why?

Because "Stars and Sea" and "Youth" are popular songs!

Telecommunications companies have a mission!

How many civil servants, enterprises and institutions are there in the country? Their ring tones are semi-automatically set and the expenses are reimbursed directly.

Know how to cut?

We also have to count the natural consumers brought about by “popularity”.

Although the CRBT company will collaborate with all the songs in "Ode to Birthday" at one time, "Stars and Sea" and "Youth" are, after all, one of the most eye-catching songs. When put into CRBT, they sound more pleasant to the ears than others. Is not it?

After reading the email, Zhou Rui was very excited.

After thinking about it, he immediately sent two text messages to Li Wenqian and Song Bin and made an appointment for a small meeting during lunch time.

He has important news to announce.

Throughout the morning class, Zhou Rui, besides responding to the teachers' burning eyes, was immersed in his own joy. During the lunch break, he met Li Wenqian and Song Bin and came to a corner of the cafeteria.

"Boss! Do you have any new songs to record? I recently bought some new equipment!"

Zhou Rui shook his head and said: "There were a lot of things going on in the quizzes in the past few days. Today I just want to summarize it, and it's about the income of two songs."

Li Wenqian and Song Bin felt a little uncomfortable when they heard that they were asking for money. They had not yet entered society, so they instinctively felt a little embarrassed about the distribution of benefits.

Zhou Rui ignored the awkward expressions of the two, took out a pen and paper, and said while writing:

"You all know the first income. The copyright income from "Stars and Sea" included in the compilation of "Ode to Birthdays" was 57,800. The amounts mentioned in the following are all after-tax amounts. Because they were official payments, they were directly deducted. "

The two nodded. This was already a huge sum of money for a high school student. Even though Song Bin's family was well-endowed, at that time, his parents' money and the money he earned were two different things.

"Wen Qian's part of this money is kept with me. Song Bin, I have already paid you, and then there were two more entries in the account a few days ago. One is the copyright fee for "Youth", and the same is 57,800, one payment is 1,000 yuan for copyright royalties from various units after "Stars and Sea" was spread, and the first payment totaled 98,000."

Li Wenqian suspected that she heard wrongly. How much?

"More than 98,000 yuan? Nearly 100,000 yuan?"

Is music so profitable?

Two songs have generated nearly 200,000 in revenue?

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "What's the surprise? This is just the first payment. From now on, each unit will pay the copyright fee once a month, at least until October and more and more. Moreover, "Youth" will also have this payment in the future. The revenue is just starting now.”
