Qiao Jingjing continued her incessant chatter.
Then you would truly be condemned by everyone and become unpopular.
Conservative estimate.
This time, Qiao Jingjing's popularity has more than doubled.
A topic generates popularity.
This is the true meaning of hype.
"What happens next? Can I really knock out Li Xueliang on stage?"
Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but worry about her singing career.
Is his journey to conquer the music scene about to end before it even begins?
The cutest thing about Qiao Jingjing.
Unlike other women, she doesn't just complain when faced with difficulties and setbacks.
She complains that her husband is incompetent, unromantic, and doesn't love her...
And the most terrifying thing... complaining that her husband has no money.
Complaining is the most terrible killer of relationships.
It is more ruthless and sharp than time itself.
Her pinching Qiao Yu's waist, however, resembled a wronged woman whining to her man.
"With your current singing skills and popularity, it will be difficult for you to beat Li Xueliang."
The straightforward Qiao Yu gave his sister a "hehe" sound.
Qiao Jingjing pouted and said nonchalantly:
"I can just quit if I have to, anyway, I'm not a professional singer."
"Then what happened today will become a stain on your acting career," Qiao Yu added.
Qiao Jingjing glared fiercely at Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu returned the look with a fierce glare, showing no sign of backing down.
The bored and childish siblings started competing with each other.
Let's see who gives up first.
"I have a little donkey that I never ride..."
The sudden ringing of the bell startled them.
The siblings both looked down to look for their phones.
Their phones are matching couple models, one black and one pink.
The ringtone is also set to the same.
It's a very cheerful and childish children's song, which perfectly suits Qiao Jingjing's quirky tastes.
The ringtone was coming from Qiao Jingjing's phone.
After much effort, she pulled her phone out of the small pocket of her tight hot pants. "Hello? What's up?"
Qiao Yu leaned in to eavesdrop.
The siblings are alike.
When he made the phone call, Qiao Jingjing acted in the same way.
A moment later, Qiao Jingjing hung up the phone.
"What happened?" Qiao Yu asked.
Qiao Jingjing pouted, "My mother-in-law at home is calling me back."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Qiao Yu understood. "Mom is right. Qiao Jingjing, you're about to become a spinster. You might as well go home and go on blind dates."
Qiao Jingjing got angry and kicked him hard.
She sat on the sofa, turned away, and ignored him.
Qiao Yu found it amusing and deliberately teased her, "Once you get married, I can ask the Empress Dowager to find me someone..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Jingjing grabbed a pillow and smashed it over his head.
He angrily went back to his room.
Qiao Yu glanced at the wall and shrugged helplessly. He sat alone in the living room, looking down at his phone.
He was watching how much Qiao Jingjing's popularity was growing.
As expected, steady growth.
Despite numerous negative comments.
At this point, he saw some netizens complaining:
Why can't I find Qiao Jingjing's version of "Later" online? I'm so anxious!
I love her song "The First Person I Loved," but it's not available on major music apps.
[You can find her songs on music charts, but they're unavailable due to copyright issues. There are edited versions online, but they're live performances and have too much background noise.]
[No copyright? Such a great song, why wasn't it uploaded online immediately? What was her company doing?]
"Yes, yes, online licensing can both generate revenue and increase popularity. What is the company behind her thinking?"
Qiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Can you both make money and increase your popularity?
He couldn't wait to take out his phone and call the customer service of the "Music Billboard" official website.
"Hello, welcome to the Music Billboard customer service hotline. For self-service, please press..."
Qiao Yu chose the human service option.
A moment later, the call connected, and a pleasant female voice spoke:
"Hello, this is the Music Billboard customer service hotline. Employee number 250832 is at your service."
"Hello, I have a song I'd like to sell to you... um, only the online rights. What do I need to do?"
"Hello, you can select the 'I want to sell a song' option on the official website, go through the process, upload the song demo to the official website, and wait for our staff to verify it. We will reply to you within seven working days."
"Hmm, I can't wait that long."
Qiao Yu waited until she finished speaking before speaking.
"I'm sorry, we have procedures in place."
"The online rights to the three songs I sold are 'The First Person I Loved,' 'Love You,' and 'Later.'"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Then, a customer service representative's surprised and uncertain voice came through:
"Sir, do you...do you have a copyright certificate?"
"Yes, I do. How do I need to give it to you?"
"Wait...wait a moment."
The customer service representative's voice immediately became excited, "I'll transfer you to our manager."
After waiting for ages, the call was finally successfully transferred.
It was a deep, middle-aged male voice, but he wasn't a copyright manager.
The other party introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Qiao, I am the Marketing Director, my surname is Wang."
Wasn't it supposed to be the manager?
Qiao Yu was taken aback: "How do you know my surname is Qiao?"
He did not give his name to customer service.
"We have contacted the Jiaxing company about the three songs sung by Ms. Qiao Jingjing, but they said they do not have the copyright."
"They said they are actively negotiating with Ms. Qiao. Since the copyright is not in Jiaxing, it means that Ms. Qiao Jingjing was telling the truth in the program. The lyricist and composer should be her brother, which is you, Mr. Qiao."
Haha, you guys are so smart!
Qiao Yu's lips twitched. "What do I need to do?"
"First of all, thank you very much for your support and trust in our platform. We'll talk about the authorization process later; let's discuss the copyright fee first. I think that's the most important thing."
Qiao Yu smiled. "Yes, what price are you prepared to offer?"
"Mr. Qiao, are you familiar with this area?"
"No."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, then a laugh:
"Mr. Qiao, our copyright fees are based on the song's popularity and the singer's fame, so..."
“I understand, just tell me how much,” Qiao Yu said.
The copyright of a song is closely related to the singer.
The same song, when sung by a big star, will always be more popular than when sung by an ordinary person.
A very simple example.
Even if the songs are mediocre, a top-tier singer can still sell an album for a good price.
Because the audience buys into it and agrees with it.
If they replaced it with an unknown, struggling singer, who would buy it?
"We pay 200,000 yuan for the online copyright of each song."
