Revealing the music copyright fee: Why does Zhang Jie have to pay 2 million for singing "Bubble"?
It is said that Zhang Jie has to pay 2 million yuan in copyright fees for singing "Bubbles"! What is going on? Let's dig deep and explore the mystery of music copyright fees.
First of all, let's be clear about what music royalties are. In simple terms, music royalties refer to the income that a music creator or music company earns by selling the rights to a musical work. This includes the rights and interests in singing, playing, recording, reproducing, disseminating music, etc. And the song "Bubble", as a much-loved pop song, naturally also has huge commercial value.
Why does Zhang Jie have to pay 2 million in copyright fees for singing "Bubble"? One of the key factors in this is the original singing rights. The original singing rights refer to the rights owned by the singer who recorded a song for the first time, which means that if other singers want to cover the song, they need to pay the corresponding copyright fee to the original singer. The original singer of "Bubble" is Deng Ziqi, and her version has been a huge success in the market, so other singers who want to cover this song need to pay high copyright fees.
In addition, the level of music copyright fees is also closely related to the popularity of the song, the popularity of the singer, market demand and other factors. A well-known singer like Zhang Jie who covers a hit song naturally has to pay a corresponding high copyright fee. After all, the copyright fee of a song is not only a respect for the music creator, but also a support for the healthy development of the music industry chain.
However, it is worth noting that the high music copyright fees have also caused a lot of controversy. Some people believe that high royalties may limit the dissemination and interpretation of musical works, and for some emerging singers, not being able to pay high royalties may become an obstacle to their development. Moreover, some musicians also complained that the high copyright fee may not be able to really give back to the creator, but will be "eaten" by various intermediate links, which will also have a certain negative impact on the incentive of music creation.
To sum up, there are many interests and controversies behind music royalties. As consumers, we can support our favorite music works through formal channels, but at the same time, we also need to pay attention to and think about the development of the music industry. In the future, we may be able to look forward to the establishment of a more equitable and equitable copyright system to promote the diversity and vitality of music creation.
