Chapter 1746 Reaction
S?M: "The audio source website only provides you with a channel for downloading music, but it charges 50% of the benefits. Singers and songwriters only have 15%. Isn't that too little?"
JYP: "There is almost nothing to pay for on the audio source website, but singers need to keep promoting and playing the charts. The lyricist creators need to concentrate on writing songs. The agency needs to spend money and resources to support the singer's publicity work. However, in terms of audio source income, it is not even easy for the audio source website to add up. Isn't this too unfair?"
MC: "Singers and songwriters work too hard, but the gains and efforts they get are far from proportional. They seriously affect the balance of the market, and the agency, singers and songwriters who really put in their efforts and time, but do not get the benefits and income they deserve, which affects the lives and enthusiasm and confidence of the singers and songwriters."
YG: "It is appropriate for the audio source website to occupy a certain amount of audio source revenue. After all, the audio source website provides everyone with a channel to download songs, but the problem is that the audio source website occupies too much, which makes no sense and should not be."
...
Almost one hour ago, the four major Korean music agency began to publish dissatisfaction and protests about the distribution of interests of the audio source websites and the few singers and songwriters.
After the four major agency companies made their statements, many musicians and other agency companies also expressed their dissatisfaction and protests about this matter. Everyone said differently, but in total, there is only one thing, that is, they believe that the profit sharing of music source websites accounts for too many, and there are too few singers and songwriters. The share ratio of music source websites should be appropriately reduced and the proportion of some singers and songwriters should be increased.
With the words of several major brokerage companies, the media immediately reacted, and then conducted investigations and understanding of the revenue of the audio source, and found that basically half of the interests of the audio source are occupied by the audio source website, and the remaining half are agency companies, singers, and songwriters.
In fact, it is no secret to the distribution of benefits in the audio source. Although everyone does not specifically understand it, they still know some of the situations.
But now, with the big brokerage companies making such a fuss, the media reported that fans suddenly became less calm. Why does your audio source website just provide everyone with a download channel and occupy 50% of the profit? This is completely a robbery of money.
When this incident happened, the fans immediately stopped doing it. They didn't expect that the idols they supported worked hard to sing and promote. They didn't expect that there was only such a little income in terms of audio sources. How could this be? The audio source website did not pay anything and occupied half of the benefits. This is too much.
In fact, fans used to know that the music source was divided, and very few fans belonged to them, but no matter how they knew, everyone didn't say anything. After all, this time, several major agency companies expressed their dissatisfaction with the matter. This east wind was blowing, and of course the fans would not let it go. Naturally, they would also use this east wind to gain more benefits for their idols.
For fans, worship is blind and doesn't think too much about it. At the same time, they don't care whether they have their own benefits. They continue to pay without reservation. In fact, fans also know that they will be treated as guns by major agencies or media many times, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is beneficial to the idols they support, they will do it themselves, and there is nothing to hesitate about.
This time, the four major brokerage companies, many music creators, and small and medium-sized brokerage companies all expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the sharing of sound sources. For a while, the entire Korean music scene also caused a huge sensation, and because of the participation of a huge number of fans, this incident became a social phenomenon that swept across South Korea.
After all, South Korea's entertainment industry is very developed, which almost leads to people over 10 years old. People under 40 basically like a certain artist, at least they like it more or have a supportive attitude.
Such a large area of fans, to be honest, has almost caused at least tens of millions of people in South Korea to be involved, and at least tens of millions of fans in South Korea, which is certain.
Therefore, time became even bigger, even so big that the South Korean government could not sit still. It immediately issued an order to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and no more mistakes are allowed. The bigger the matter is, it will also have a huge damage to South Korea's image, and it will also have a fatal impact on the Korean wave plan that has developed very well.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has no choice but to do with the current situation. If it is just an agency and a sound source website, then it's fine. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism can mandatoryly require both parties to sit together and discuss this matter well.
But now the problem is that this incident has aroused strong dissatisfaction among fans, and this is the key.
The Culture, Sports and Tourism Department can ask the agency and the audio source website to keep silent, but they cannot ask for it, and they cannot make the huge fan group silent, or even dare not speak. Once they speak, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department will also know that it will definitely be attacked by the huge fan group by then.
When artists and agency companies have a headache for Anti, major agencies, as well as cultural, sports and tourism departments, are also having headaches for singers who have huge loyalty, almost no reason, and impulsive fans.
For example, in this situation, the angry fans felt a headache when the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Department was in their seats, and they didn't know what to do for a moment. Because once the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Department spoke, they asked the fans to calm down and wait for the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Department to deal with it, they would attract the attention of a large number of fans as soon as possible. Then the angry fans finally found the vent bucket and would vent all their anger and dissatisfaction on the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Department.
Fans will not talk about the principles and rules to the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department. As long as there are a large number of people and the mentality of not ruling the public, fans will not be afraid of you. Even if the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department is a government department, so what? You are not doing anything, causing the idols we like and support to work so hard, but only get a little pitiful income. What is this? We just don’t accept it. The artists dare not tell you, fight with you, we don’t care, we are not afraid, we must be fair and just.
Several major brokerage companies expressed dissatisfaction with the distribution of audio source income at the same time, and immediately became the most concerned thing in South Korea. Almost everyone was attracted by this incident, Kim Yu-hwan quietly came to Zhao Yongbi's personal studio and began to participate in the rehearsal and preparation work of the third CKK charity concert.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has issued a mandatory order to allow major brokerage companies and some representative music creators to attend the meeting with the heads of the five major audio source websites to discuss the matter on the moment.
Kim Yu-hwan threw this matter directly to Hong Seung-sung, then talked about his attitude, and let Hong Seung-sung go with the rhythm of S?M and JYP in this matter, Kim Yu-hwan flashed.
Kim Yu-fan was also a little upset about these troubles. After all, Kim Yu-fan's identity and status are different now, and he is not short of money. To be honest, continue to be an artist's career, just want to find something for himself to do so, so as not to live a life that will be too boring.
But as Kim Yu-fan's career develops better and better, the MC company has become more and more influential. Even if Kim Yu-fan doesn't want to care about many things, he is brought to him by many things, which also makes Kim Yu-fan very unhappy and helpless.
Therefore, unless there is really no way, the other party asks Kim Yu-hwan to go there, and the matter is very big, and the other party has the qualifications. Otherwise, Kim Yu-hwan can ignore it now. Even if it involves MC, isn’t there any president Hong Seung-sung, which is enough to represent the MC company.
So, when everyone was still making a big fuss about the division of the sound source, they were paying attention to it, but Kim Yu-hwan was hiding in the practice room of Zhao Rongbi's personal studio, chatting with Zhao Rongbi and Kim Chang-hoon while eating fried chicken.
"I said Yufan, is it appropriate for you to do this?" Looking at Kim Yufan, who was sitting opposite him eating fried chicken and was very dedicated to eating, Zhao Rongbi asked with some concern: "After all, the other party is the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department. Although Hong Seung-sung is the president of MC, it is enough to represent MC to attend that meeting, but after all, you are the president of MC. I believe that the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department also hopes that you will attend this meeting. If you hide in us now and do not attend this meeting, will it cause dissatisfaction from the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department?"
"Yes Yufan, will there really be no problem with doing this?" As soon as Zhao Rongbi finished speaking, Kim Changxun, who was standing beside him, also looked at Kim Yufan with concern and asked.
The three of them form a temporary CKK group. The purpose is very simple. They are for charity concerts. For charity, everyone will do their best to perform the best programs, and strive to collect more donations as much as possible to help those in need. Especially in winter, the three of them hope to collect more donations to help those poor and needy families through the cold winter.
After several cooperations, the three of them have also established very good personal relationships. As seniors, Zhao Yongbi and Kim Changxun admire Kim Yu-hwan's talent and ability. It is indeed not easy to build today's family business in ten years. It can even be said to be the number one person in the Korean entertainment industry.
More importantly, Kim Yu-hwan is low-key and not ostentatious, and is also passionate about charity. With the humanized management within MC, all of this made Cho Yong-bi and Kim Chang-hoon see that Kim Yu-hwan is a kind-hearted and broad-minded person, a loyal and most worthy of being acquainted.
Because of this, Cho Yong-bi and Kim Chang-hoon decided to bring Kim Yu-fan in after final discussion.
The reason why Kim Yu-fan is the most popular and potential in the new generation, and is also the most passionate about charity. These are all fooling people, or there are some reasons, but they are definitely not all.
The two valued Kim Yu-fan's loyalty more, and were able to truly stay with Fin.K.L, and even to save Fin.K.L at all costs. Even if he has become the number one artist in the Korean entertainment industry and the president of Fin.K.L, he is definitely arrogant. However, facing Fin.K.L, he was almost the same as when he was a trainee back then, and was taught and scolded by Fin.K.L, but Kim Yu-fan did not have any dissatisfaction or anger.
From this point of view, we can see that Kim Yu-hwan is a loyal and emotional person. In addition, Kim Yu-hwan was indeed developing very well at that time. It was not difficult to compete in any top combination in solo state. Even only Dongfang Shenqi at his peak could compete with Kim Yu-hwan.
So, Zhao Yongbi and Kim Chang-hoon finally brought Kim Yu-hwan in, and the three of them formed the current CKK temporary group. Kim Yu-hwan was not very good at character, and also had popularity and influence, which was undoubtedly helpful for the promotion of CKK charity concerts, so Kim Yu-hwan was chosen.
If we chose Kim Yu-hwan at the beginning, many factors were taken into consideration. Now, after two CKK charity concerts, and the three of them usually have dinner together and chat in private, Zhao Yong-bi and Kim Chang-hoon are now sincere in treating Kim Yu-hwan as younger generations and younger generations. Seeing something similar, they are also very concerned.
"Haha, brother, don't worry, it's okay." Looking at the worried eyes of the two, Kim Yu-fan also felt a warm heart in his heart and smiled and comforted them.
Kim Yu-hwan is truly respected and admired by Zhao Yongbi and Kim Chang-hoon. Their character is indeed worthy of the respect and admiration of all younger generations and younger generations. Especially Jo Yongbi and Kim Chang-hwan are also very low-key. Strictly speaking, they are people who are very free and unique, and have basically no interests in any person or agency. Such people, coupled with their recognized character, are indeed good friends.
"After all, this matter is the fact that major brokerage companies join hands with music lyrics and songwriters, and they are just forcing the five major music source websites. With the support of huge fans, the matter has become very big. To a certain extent, it is not that the five major music source websites, major brokerage companies and music creators are willing to stop. Fans are very concerned about this matter, and the media are also concerned about this matter. In this situation, both sides are in a difficult situation. If a final result is not announced, it is obviously impossible to appease the fans. In this case, the pressure of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department is high, or the pressure of the music source website, agency companies and music creators is high, that is impossible. Now I can't stop. I have to completely solve this matter, or there is a result."
"Nothing is useful now. It depends on how the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department solves this problem and gives a clear answer." Speaking of this, Kim Yu-hwan continued to eat fried chicken, and said while eating without any image: "So, it is enough for President Hong Shengcheng to attend this meeting on behalf of the MC company. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. After all, this matter is not something I can solve alone. It is not that I can solve it successfully after I go. That is impossible."
Zhao Yongbi and Kim Chang-hoon have also debuted for many years and have seen everything clearly. They were originally concerned about it, but now they stopped Kim Yu-hwan's words and thought about it carefully, and found that it was really as Kim Yu-hwan said. In this situation, it doesn't matter whether Kim Yu-hwan comes out or not. What is important is that this matter must be solved and a clear result can be obtained to appease the dissatisfaction of fans.
Zhao Rongbi: "Haha, yes, now that things have come to this point, this is no longer someone, or a few people can solve it by unifying their opinions. I guess the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department will definitely have a headache this time. It must come up with a solution and give fans a clear result. This is not an easy task."
Kim Chang-hoon: "Hmph~~~ deserve it. The Korean wave plan has developed so well, which has brought huge economic and income to the country. After all, it is the result of the efforts of everyone in the entertainment industry, not a sound source website. Why does the sound source website have to occupy 50% of the profit? It's nothing, it's just a platform to make money while sitting, and it's a big deal. This is too easy and too much."
Speaking of this, Kim Chang-hoon's violent temper exploded: "I just think that everyone should unite and say nothing to the five major audio source websites. The agency has paid huge funds and resources, as well as human and material support, and has occupied 35% of the benefits. The singers and music creators have put in their efforts to account for 5%, which is too little. The audio source website only provides everyone with a channel to download songs, which is 50%, which is really too much."
"I think if this time is inappropriate, Yufan, you can take the lead and contact the major brokerage companies and simply form a music source website by yourself. Although it will definitely be troublesome, I believe that in the face of huge interests, when the contract is clearly written in black and white, and the major brokerage companies will definitely be very interested in the premise that no changes are allowed. As long as your major brokerage companies have established their own music source websites and give more benefits to singers and music creators, I believe that major brokerage companies, singers and music creators will definitely be more willing to cooperate with you more than with the current five major music source websites."
Although Kim Chang-hoon is not famous, he is indeed a singer-songwriter. However, many songs are not very famous and have little popularity. But it is undeniable that Kim Chang-hoon also has excellent music creation talents and has written many songs. Since he has written many songs, he naturally suffers more in terms of music source.
Therefore, as Kim Chang-hoon was talking, he began to go wild and started to get angry. This was understandable, or this was Kim Chang-hoon's Style.
