February 3rd, 12 noon.
Jiang Kan stayed in the office, paying attention to the news about the "Internet Song Contest" on the screen.
In fact, this competition has already started at midnight today, but Jiang Kan really doesn't have the energy to stay up late waiting for its opening.
After all, the main purpose of the competition is to discover hidden folk singers, and the rewards are contracts with major entertainment companies.
He is a serious signed singer, so there is no need for this.
The prize for first place is not much, 500,000 yuan.
300,000 for the second place and 200,000 for the third place.
Then the top ten to the top four will receive bonuses from 40,000 to 100,000.
If Jiang Kan said that he didn't want the 500,000, it would definitely seem false.
But there are always some crouching tigers, hidden dragons among the more than one billion people in the Xia Kingdom. They really want to win over the 500,000 among the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of selected participants in this national carnival. The bonus is actually not easy.
So Jiang Kan probably looked at it with a relaxed attitude, treating it as an adjustment in his work and life. It would be great to get a bonus, but it would be normal if he didn't get it.
"Hey, look what's going on here?"
Out of curiosity, he clicked on the official website of the competition.
"Hey, there are quite a few participants!"
On the homepage, a big number "32587" marks the total number of participants in this competition!
"What a national carnival! With so many people participating, did the officials really pass all the songs that are not out of tune or tone-deaf this time?"
He looked at the screen with relish while eating the sandwich he bought on the way to work.
"That's right. The slogan of the organizing committee of this competition in Shashi is 'Actually, you can sing very well.' It encourages all people to participate. As long as you are not out of tune and have confidence, you can participate. Anyway, there is no fee to register. In case you are If a talent scout discovered his singing talent, wouldn't he become famous instantly?" BIquGe.biz
Jiang Kan looked at the various song titles on the list with great interest, feeling as if he had returned to the era ten or twenty years ago when the Internet had just become popular and Internet songs were beginning to become popular.
Check out these song titles:
"Pigs are so cute",
"Wild Da Vinci",
"Baby You Are So Sweet",
"Day 369 of 2020",
"One Hundred Thousand Reasons to Love You",
"I will never be a man again in my next life",
"Ah, yes, yes, yes",
"Farmer, Pier and Banana Tree"
…
Jiang Kan's shoulders trembled slightly, his body trembled slightly, and an uncontrollable smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Yes, many of these song titles have the style of that era, making people feel as if they have traveled through time and returned to that simple and rough era.
"Haha, it's so... nostalgic."
He shook his head and began to search for his own song.
Because the list has only been open for half a day, the list is still very chaotic. One moment is jumping up, the other is falling down, and the top ten songs have been changed several times in less than a few minutes.
And because all the major singers use their own online names to participate in the competition, no one can tell whose nickname is whose, and who’s vest is whose name. When auditioning, they are all randomly selected based on their preferences for song titles. Go in and listen.
Each song and each registered account can have three audition opportunities, but there is no place for paid downloads, because the competition itself only purchased the audition rights of these songs for the sake of massive song copyrights, and the official paid downloads will have to wait until that time. Only after the number of downloads of a song exceeds 10,000 times, the official will specifically purchase it from the copyright holder of the song, and then provide a paid download method.
Generally speaking, these singers do not have any managers, let alone any entertainment companies they have signed. They are just hobbyists who write and sing by themselves. Almost all of the copyrights of their songs are in their own hands, and they have all signed contracts with competitions. The agreement gives Shacheng TV, the organizer of the competition, the first right of first refusal.
Jiang Kan thinks this approach is quite good. If the number of auditions for a song is less than 10,000, there is no point in officially purchasing the copyright of the song. If it is too high, it is not cost-effective. If it is too low, you will not bother to buy it. Just apply for it. The procedures are also very troublesome.
The copyright of his own "Mouse Loves Rice" is 100% in his own hands, because he does not need the company's help to help the song hit the charts, and he does not use a penny of the company's publicity resources, so of course all the profits belong to him. all.
""Mouse Loves Rice", Mouse Loves Rice... Well, there it is, here it is!"
Jiang Kan excitedly opened the page of his song and saw various data.
"Mouse Loves Rice", the singer "talks freely", has been listened to 357 times, ranking 2587th.
"..."
Jiang Kan covered his forehead speechlessly and smiled helplessly.
Twelve hours have passed, downloaded 357 times, ranked 2587th...
For an "ordinary person" with no company behind him, this achievement seems very real in front of a base of more than 32,000 contestants.
First of all, this competition prohibits registered singers above the second tier from participating. Not many second-tier or even third-tier singers see such an unattractive reward, so naturally they rarely participate in such folk competitions.
Therefore, naturally there will not be too much "fish frying" behavior at this grand event.
And because everyone is anonymous, everyone basically did not conduct any advance publicity in accordance with the requirements of the organizing committee before the competition started, so they had no idea who was who and who would sing what song.
Although it is not particularly strict, competition officials will still remove songs that can be found on the Internet from the list before the start of the competition to minimize the possibility of sneaking out in advance.
The quality of all songs is judged by netizens across the Internet. Registration is also very simple. Just add your ID card and phone number to register an official website account of Shacheng Satellite TV. Anyone can register and vote. If you are a minor student, If you want to participate, you can use your parents’ ID cards.
The original fans were naturally unable to gather their strength to support their idols beforehand. Even many fans did not know whether their giegie had participated in the competition before the game started...
Naturally, there was no huge fan base to lead the charge, and everyone's votes were scattered.
What Jiang Kan sees now is such an extremely scattered list.
For a single contestant without official promotion to have so many listens so quickly, it already shows that the quality of the song "Rat Loves Rice" is very good!
But after the game starts, how the various gods promote it is their own business. At this time, the official can no longer control it. They can't create tens of thousands of clones and always supervise whether others are communicating and promoting in private. ?
At least Jiang Kan himself had not specifically told his fans about this matter before, and planned to check the situation after the game started.
He didn't expect to see such a situation, which was quite surprising to him, but he also felt that it was actually expected.
"It's okay. It's just started. I'll just go to the scarf to promote it later. This competition is a purely personal behavior of mine and it's not convenient for me to trouble the company's publicity resources..."
Jiang Kan thought about it, logged into his account, and sent a message:
"I have participated in the online song contest with the song "Mouse Loves Rice". Please support me! [Compare your heart] [Compare your heart] [Laugh]."
After all, the copyright is 100% in hand, and the company will not share any profits gained from the competition. Naturally, they cannot use the company's publicity channels. Jiang Kan is still aware of this.
As for Wang Yuchang...
Anyway, it has been agreed upon that he and Xiao Wang will split the money 50-50.
Because Wang Yuchang mentioned to the company that he needed support from the company, Xiao Wang naturally needed to split accounts with the company.
The company helped Wang Yuchang promote this song, which is equivalent to helping Jiang Kan promote this song, and he himself is also a direct beneficiary.
But no matter how much "Two Butterflies" earns, Jiang Kan will not interfere with how Wang Yuchang and the company share it. He only needs to share half of all the income from this song.
After handing out the scarves, Jiang Kan logged off and concentrated on watching a TV series he was following recently, finishing the remaining sandwiches and a cup of coffee.
At the same time, in the house rented by Wang Yuchang in Chengdu, classmate Xiao Wang was nervously staring at the screen on the computer screen, checking his results.
"Two Butterflies", the singer is "Changchang", has been listened to 1276 times, ranking 19th!"
"Hey, it's okay. Although the company only gave me a promotional resource equivalent to that of a third-tier singer, it's still very powerful."
"This is just the beginning. The company will gradually exert its efforts. I just need to be patient first."
He touched his chin with satisfaction, nodded and said happily to himself.
