Chapter 1737 Music Creators Meeting (Part 2)

Well, of course, it's not entirely true. At least in front of one person, Kim Yu-hwan can definitely be called a senior and can straighten his waist.

"Brother, you are here." Seeing Kim Yu-hwan's arrival, Kwon stood up quickly, bowed to Kim Yu-hwan and greeted him, then looked at Kim Yu-hwan with a pitiful expression and said.

"Haha, here we come." Looking at G-Dragon's expression, Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile. It was probably awkward to sit here before he came. They were all seniors, many people were not very familiar with each other, and some were even one of the representatives of hostile agency companies. They dare not say anything, and it would definitely not feel good.

Because he is the most familiar with G-Dragon and the two are not very different in age, Kim Yu-hwan sat down next to G-Dragon without hesitation.

Seeing that everyone was not speaking, they seemed to be thinking something and continued to remain silent. Therefore, Kim Yu-hwan didn't say anything, and directly snatched G-Dragon's cigarette, lit one for himself, and then asked G-Dragon while smoking: "By the way, Ji-Dragon, what's going on in this meeting today?"

"Brother, don't ask me, actually I don't know either." G-Dragon also smoked, frowned and scratched his hair, making his hairstyle a mess: "I played with Shengli in a nightclub yesterday and drank a lot of wine. Today I was in a daze and was pulled from the bed by Brother Hong Jun. When I came here until you arrived, my brain was still in a rest stage and it was always hazy. To be honest, I don't know what happened."

Of course, Kim Yu-hwan knew who Hong Jun brother was mentioned by G-Dragon, so he was naturally yg's teddy. This brother is yg's well-deserved No. 1 composer of yg, and his status in yg company is far higher than that of G-Dragon, a junior.

After all, G-Dragon has the talent for music, but he still insists on writing songs for himself or other members of GBang. As for others, G-Dragon's songs are almost all spent on himself, or on the members of the group and group. For YG company, the benefits are naturally not maximized.

But teddy is different. As the official composer of YG company, teddy's music works can cultivate GBang to G-Dragon, and 2ne1, which is equivalent to teddy's music works. They can continuously cultivate new singers and combinations for YG, so that the company's strength can continue to grow and grow.

At the same time, teddy can also write songs for others. Once this cooperation is established, it is a kind of connection, and yg can also benefit from it. After all, teddy is a person from yg. If other agencies want to invite songs to their singers and teddy, of course, they must also be allowed by yg. Therefore, yg can also use teddy to establish their own connections and make the other party owe their favors.

In short, the income teddy may directly bring to yg cannot be compared with G-Dragon. After all, G-Dragon's music is all about himself and G-Dragon's group, or members of the group, making the entire G-Dragon and members of the group become popular. This money-making power is really terrifying. But for YG company as a whole, or in the long run, there is no doubt that teddy is more important than G-Dragon.

The four major composers are not just a joke. It is precisely because of the so-called four major composers that this time it has led to the strength of the four major agency companies in the Korean music industry. S?m's Yu Yongzhen, Jyp's Park Jinrong, DSP's Zhao He, and YG's teddy. The influence of the four people is really beyond everyone's imagination, and it can even be said to have influenced the Korean music industry.

Well ~ Of course, Zhao He is not the official composer of DSP now, but has become the official composer of MC. However, Zhao He is more low-key now. The huge strength, resources and connections of the mc company do not require Zhao He to personally make contact with others like before, so Zhao He is now more low-key. Basically, except for Zhao He's musical works, outsiders rarely see Zhao He.

This is almost the same as Yu Yongzhen and teddy. They are completely behind the scenes and no longer go to the forefront. Therefore, except for musical works, basically everyone knows nothing about the situation of Zhao He and others.

Of course, there are exceptions in everything. For example, Park Jin-young insists on his career as a singer and keeps jumping on the front line. This is nothing, it is normal. After all, it is all a personal choice, right?

"Ahem, since everyone is here, let's start now." At this time, Yu Yongzhen coughed twice and said lightly.

No one has any objection to this, including Park Jin-young, who is most unhappy with Yu Yongzhen and S?m, didn't say anything. After all, it's a music creator meeting, and everyone is also a small circle of people. At least now, everyone is a musician, so there is no need to care about or consider the interests and status of the brokerage company and individual behind it.

Therefore, at this time, Yu Yongzhen is undoubtedly the most suitable person to speak. After all, Yu Yongzhen is the oldest person to sit on the scene. As a spokesperson and host, he is also the most qualified person.

"I called you here today. The reason is very simple. That is to discuss the interests of our music creators." Yu Yongzhen didn't say nonsense, and said lightly, "Everyone is music creator, and some things are very familiar. In recent years, major audio source websites have continuously increased the proportion of audio source copyright fees, further compressing the share of us music creators and singers. This has caused a great impact and loss on everyone we are sitting first."

"According to the information about my value, major audio source websites seem to have secretly discussed it, and the copyright fee ratio needs to be increased, so that our share ratio will become smaller and smaller. What's that?" Speaking of this, Yu Yongzhen, who has been very calm, couldn't calm down, and his face was angry and a ferocious roared.

"That's right!" At this time, Park Jin-young also spoke and said with a firm look: "The audio source website has a certain fee to obtain the copyright of our music works. This is what it should be. After all, the audio source website provides a place for fans to download, and we musicians have more opportunities to make money. But the problem is that the audio source website is getting more and more excessive, constantly compressing the proportion of our singers and music creators. Although it seems that there are not many songs, everyone is not newcomers and doesn't know anything. The proportion of audio source websites increases by 1%, how much will we lose!"

Yu Yongjin and Park Zhenrong's words immediately resonated with everyone on the scene. After all, everyone is a music creator. The increase in the proportion of the audio source website will further compress everyone's interests. No one allows this, after all, this is related to their own direct interests.

You should know that music creators may not be as glorious as singers standing on the stage, but their income is actually very high, especially those awesome music creators, who can earn a large amount of income every year just relying on this music source, which is the so-called music copyright fee.

There is no need to work hard to catch up with itineraries and promote it, nor do you need to face anti-work, and you will be very clear-cut in front of agency companies and artists, and you will have a high status and a very good income. This has also led to the emergence of many Korean musicians constantly, focusing on behind-the-scenes production.

In 2012, the first place was Park Jin-young's 1.2 billion won, the second place was Cho Soo-young's 1 billion won, the third place was Teddy, with an income of about 900 million won, the fourth place was Yu Yong-jin, with an income of about 800 million won, and the fifth place was G-Dragon, the captain of Gbang, which was nearly 800 million won, reaching 790 million won.

This data alone is enough to prove that even if a music creator does nothing, just needs to write songs and then hand over the songs to singers to perform, the income in terms of sound source will continue to grow. More importantly, this income is pure personal income, and the agency can not pay a penny, because the one belonging to the agency will automatically be distributed to the agency, and it is still a big deal. Therefore, in terms of sound source income, the agency will hardly care about the income of its singers, nor will it look down on it, or give the singer some sweetness, and cannot be overdo it. Because the revenue of sound source is pure profit for singers and music creators, and it can last for a long time, and in theory it is a lifelong continuous income.

Of course, if some brokerage companies are too strong and exploitative, even if the income belongs to the singer is useless, the brokerage companies will get a share of the pie, and the singers can't do anything about it. But in general, this situation is almost rare.

Moreover, as computers and the Internet have become more and more impact on physical albums, a few years ago, the revenue from music sources in the Korean music industry, whether for agency companies, artists, or even music creators, has exceeded the revenue from physical album sales, and has become the largest source of music revenue for agency companies, artists and music creators.

Therefore, every music creator cares a lot about his own music copyright and audio source income. After all, for many behind-the-scenes music creators, the income from the audio source copyright fee is his biggest source of income. As long as the song has a great influence and high popularity, his income is far greater than the agency's expense of buying songs with money.

Yu Yongzhen: "Now, the current share of audio source is that audio source companies account for 50%, while agency companies account for 35%, which is almost 85%. Only the remaining 15% belongs to singers and our music creators, and we also need to share it equally."

"The remaining 15%, singers account for 5%, composers account for 5%, and lyricists account for 5%. " Speaking of this, Yu Yongzhen sneered: "To be honest, I personally think that this distribution is too unfair and too few for singers or songwriters. But some things and situations are not something we can control, and it was this distribution ratio very early on, so we can't say anything."

"But the problem is that we originally account for a very small proportion, but it is said that several major audio source websites still need to increase their proportion, and even want to occupy 60% of the proportion."

Speaking of this, Yu Yongzhen looked at everyone sitting and said with a serious look: "If the audio source website accounts for 60%, then how many of our singers and music creators are left. The 35% of the agency is definitely not missing, and we dare not say anything, so as not to be banned by the agency in anger. Then we have nothing left. In this way, the remaining 5% will still require singers, composers and lyricists to share together, what is this?"

Park Jin-young: "Now, what we are more worried about is that once the audio source website increases the proportion, we cannot guarantee whether major brokerage companies will have any ideas about this, and do we also want to increase the proportion. In this way, what are we left with?"

Many people who were sitting on the scene were very disdainful of Park Jin-young's words. After all, Park Jin-young himself is the president of JYP. Once the proportion of agency increases, there will be no loss or impact on Park Jin-young.

But what Park Jin-young said makes sense. Once the audio source website increases the proportion, will the brokerage company also increase the proportion after seeing it?

This year flashed through everyone's minds, but soon everyone couldn't help but feel worried, because everyone's ideas were almost the same. Once the audio source website increased the proportion, the brokerage company is likely to increase the proportion.

There is no way. In the Korean entertainment industry, especially in the music field, brokerage companies have always been very strong and domineering. They only focus on their own interests and will not care about the life and death of interests at all. Once the brokerage company sees the increase in the proportion of the audio source website, the brokerage company will definitely have ideas. Judging from the situation of major brokerage companies in the Korean music industry, it is obvious that the brokerage company will definitely jointly request an increase in the proportion at that time.

Once this happens, only 5% of the audio source income will be the income of singers, composers and lyricists. Such income is pitifully small, and it can even be said to be more insulting.

"Our situation is different from other music creators. We are not pure behind-the-scenes producers like Kim Hyung-hee. If we make songs and sell them, it doesn't matter if we can't sell them. We are also not Yoon Chung-sin, Zheng Zai-sing's independent musicians who create and sell their own self-created musicians, because behind us, or around us, there is an agency or a brokerage company that has been working with for a long time, and we also have to consider these brokerage companies."

At this time, Yu Yongzhen said, "Since we have to consider the brokerage company, then the brokerage company also needs to consider the brokerage company for us music creators. We can't take up all the benefits, and we only have a little garbage left for us. What's that?"

"This meeting was initiated by Park Jin-young and I. I invited everyone to come here, hoping that with their status and influence in their respective brokerage companies, the brokerage companies can not increase the proportion of audio source revenue. If possible, I hope everyone will work together to let the brokerage companies help us stand out and ask that major audio source websites not be allowed to increase the proportion. This is what we need to do most at the moment and is also the issue we are most concerned about. Of course, we all know that the status and influence of each of our own brokerage companies is absolutely true. Now some people say that there is no way to control the decision of the brokerage company. You can't do it alone. Is it still possible for us to join forces? "

Park Jin-young: "Haha, in fact, this is impossible. It was a very early time since Yu Yongjin and I discussed how to improve the interests of our singers, composers, and lyricists, that is, in terms of revenue from audio source websites, the proportion of our singers and lyricists. But unexpectedly, we are not prepared yet, and the audio source websites still need to increase their own proportions, which is too much."

Obviously, this music creators conference was initiated by Yu Yongjin and Park Zhenrong. It was basically said that the two of them would listen to each other.

When Kim Yu-jin and Park Jin-young said something, he was stunned for a moment, looked at the people sitting at the scene carefully, and was surprised to find that if the people sitting now join forces, it would really affect the top agency in the Korean music industry.

The identities and behind the people present immediately made Kim Yu-fan laugh, which was really interesting.

The first one is the Brave Brothers. Although they set up their own business in 2008, there was no way. The Brave Brothers had too deep relationship with yg and were considered to be part of the yg faction.

Fang Shihe, the representative of Ghit, seems to be his own, but in fact he has a good relationship with JYP. He is considered a JYP member.

Xinshadong Tiger was originally a cube school, after all, Xinshadong Tiger's studio was finally integrated into the cube company. But now, due to Kim Yu-hwan, Hong Seung-sung did not create a cube, so Xinshadong Tiger is still a liberal. In short, it has contacts with major brokerage companies, and its absolute music creation talent and strength have also led to major brokerage companies not only invite songs with Xinshadong Tiger.

There is nothing to say about teddy. As the official composer of yg, he is definitely a member of the yg school.

Although this duo, known as the number one reggae music duo, seems to be more independent, rarely stand on the stage to perform, and more in "underground" places. But it is undeniable that the trouser sh itself is an artist under yg, and yg does not lack trouser sh in every family concert, and naturally it is also a member of the yg school. (To be continued.)
