Chapter 755: Visit

The car stopped.

Assistant Xiaoxia saw him and walked over quickly.

Li Qingning opened the door, and a pair of long legs wearing jeans and white sneakers got out of the car first, causing Xiao Xia to slow down immediately. Her friend Xiaobai was originally a fan of Jiang Yang. Later, he changed his ways, but he still started to kill Jiang Yang. It has become a habit.

Xiaoxia used to think she was being tough.

Now Xiaoxia feels that there is a certain reason for Jiang Yang's envious desire for a knife.

These long legs——

Xiaoxia sometimes followed Li Yu and wanted to reach out and touch him.

She walked to Li Qingning.

Li Qingning opened the door of the back seat, took out two handbags and handed them to Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, give them to Sister Qian for me and send them to the dry cleaners for cleaning."

Sister Qian is the elderly person next to Li Qingning.

Like Sister Chen, she was by Li Qingning's side as a life assistant when he first debuted. She got pregnant last year. Because she was an older mother, Li Qingning chose to let her have a paid pregnancy, which gave Xiao Xia the opportunity to join the job.

When Xiaoxia first started working, she was grateful to Sister Qian for her remote guidance.

Now Sister Qian has just returned from her maternity leave.

"good."

Xiaoxia took the handbag and glanced at it. Inside were two men's jackets.

At first glance, it looks like it belongs to an old thief.

She told Li Qingning: "Boss, Feng Jing, the music director of Time.com, arrived early in the morning."

Li Qingning: "Sister Feng?"

Feng Jing was one of the planners of the original micro variety show "Life Singer".

at the same time--

It was also Feng Jing who led Time Short Video to invest in her "Time Concert", which has become the most profitable podcast currently.

I just don’t know why she came here today.

Li Qingning went upstairs with doubts, entered the company, put her bag in the office, and was just about to go to the reception room to see Sister Feng when her cell phone rang. Li Qingning took out the phone and saw that it was her mother-in-law's call.

"Hey, Mom."

Li Qingning stopped and answered the phone.

Jiang’s mother: “Ning Ning, you put money into your sister’s card again. It’s too much, too much.”

Li Qingning: "It's almost the Spring Festival. Jiang Yang and I can't go back for the New Year——"

During the National Day, Li Qingning and Jiang Yang also discussed letting his sister and her family take his parents to the south for a winter vacation. However, the old lady couldn't bear to leave her teammates in the intelligence office and chess and card room and didn't want to go there.

certainly.

It was also because Li Qingning was busy with the Spring Festival Gala and could not go back. The old lady felt that their meeting with her parents would not be formal enough if Li Qingning was not here, and planned to wait until she was busy during the Spring Festival before going to formally visit her parents.

"—You and my dad take care of yourselves—"

While Li Qingning was talking, there was a knock on the door.

Li Qingning raised his head: "Come in."

Sister Chen and Feng Jing pushed the door open and came in.

After entering the door, Feng Jing said hello: "Xiao Ning, I need help this time..."

After she saw Li Qingning calling, she stopped mid-sentence.

Li Qingning didn't expect Feng Jing to be so anxious.

She held out her hand for them to sit down.

Jiang's mother heard on the other end of the phone, "We have guests, please do your work first -"

Li Qingning: "It's okay, a friend of mine is here."

Jiang’s mother: “I still have to go to the cemetery to find your dad.”

Li Qingning:......

Li Qingning: "Did you and my dad quarrel again?"

Jiang’s mother: “I think my cooking is too salty.”

Jiang's mother said no more and hung up the phone after a few words of advice.

"My mother-in-law."

Li Qingning put down her phone and smiled apologetically at Feng Jing: "Sister Feng, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Feng Jing waved her hands hurriedly.

She just couldn't help feeling that the old lady was so lucky to have married such a good daughter-in-law. She had a business worth hundreds of millions. She was rushing to deliver it to Li Qingning, but she had to queue behind the old lady and listen to the old couple arguing and bickering. s story.

She was really a little jealous.

If she had this kind of relationship, Li Yu would probably be able to solve any trouble at work by raising his hand.

Yes.

Feng Jing is in trouble.

To be precise, their overseas short video application TIME is in trouble.

As a short video, music is one of the most important ecosystems in short videos.

This music is not for nothing.

Generally speaking, short video platforms need to pay a certain copyright license fee to the copyright owner, reach a licensing agreement, and use the copyright owner's music on the platform within a certain period of time.

Now things have changed.

With the rapid development of short videos, copyright owners led by the three major record companies are no longer satisfied with buying out.

They want a cut.

Li Qingning had heard a little bit about this matter.

She felt that this request could not be said to be unreasonable, it was simply too reasonable!

Li Qingning also wants to earn more.

Her husband is so good at making things now.

As the first game studio in China to produce a AAA masterpiece, although it has received mixed reviews, if she wants to get a small stake in Seal Game Studio, she has to spend some money.

That's too far.

The copyright owner's request is reasonable.

Short video platforms also have their own considerations.

Short videos are now just a tool for music discovery and marketing promotion, not a consumption platform. That is, consumers find music in short videos and think the song is good. The final payment is on the music streaming platform, and the money cannot be spent on short videos. In my pocket, short videos are used to make wedding dresses for people, and now they are still allowed to share the profits. The platform feels aggrieved.

certainly.

Faced with this situation, TIME had not made preparations in advance.

In fact, they launched their own streaming music platform as early as last year——

TIME music.

No matter what.

Due to music copyright and other reasons, TIME Music has no traffic and no useful content, so the number of users who can stay is naturally very few.

Feng Jing also had an idea for Li Yu at that time.

Li Yu's few English songs last year can't be said to have dominated the overseas music charts, but they should not be underestimated, and they have successfully created a wave of presence.

Amid this wave of popularity, her "Mr. Anonymous" digital album set the highest overseas sales record for a Chinese-language album, and the title song "Mr. Anonymous" even topped the HOT music chart for a time——

This is somewhat controversial.

Many people believe that "Mr. Anonymous" topped the list because Jiang Yang has so many overseas fans.

But whatever.

Li Yu still has a lot of appeal.

It can be said that he is the big name that Time Network has the best chance of recruiting.

No matter what.

Li Yu's overseas copyright has already authorized the global distribution rights of the music library and future newly released works to one of the three major companies, and it will not expire until next year.

This is why Li Qingning said it was reasonable.

She could use more money.

Now.

The only way Time.com can solve its predicament is to negotiate with the three major record companies while enriching TIME's music copyrights.

then--

Feng Jing focused on Li Qingning again.

Li Qingning doesn't understand.

Her copyright authorization has not expired yet.

Even if she wanted to help, she could not quench her thirst even though she was far away.

Sister Chen spoke: "Sister Jing is referring to the copyright of The Beatles."

this--

Koi Studio has only licensed Li Yu’s music library and Li Yu’s unreleased works to the three major music companies. But from the day the Beatles were born, apart from using Li Qingning's voice, they had nothing to do with Li Yu.

even--

After Koi Studio cooperated with Kyoto University AI Laboratory, opened all Li Yu's materials to the laboratory, and jointly established Rock Girl Studio, the sound is now AI.

Don't tell me yet.

Li Qingning felt that this was really a feasible path that she had never imagined.

and--

Although "Let It Be" MV has been released and promoted, "Rock Girl" has been delayed continuously and is still in production. However, Li Qingning has completed the music production. Not counting the opening and ending songs, there are a total of five songs, all of which are Beatles songs, that is to say, there are ready-made musical works.

The only problem may be the price.
