Chapter 66 Contracts(1/2)
Gan Kaicheng, as a producer, actually got the Best Album of the Year award, which was given to him by a singer after he won the award. This singer is the famous Duan Liying, who has been friends with Gan Kaicheng for many years, and even went to Huihuang Bar.
several times.
Duan Liying has been famous since the 1990s. She is a powerful singer. The several albums she has released have all sold very well. She is a first-line domestic singer and a figure at the top of the pyramid. However, Duan Liying has not released a film for several years because of the four
I gave birth to a son when I was more than ten years old, probably because I devoted myself to being a husband and raising a son.
Qi Qingnuo said: "I am getting old and my voice is no longer good. I dare not sing "Optimist" anymore." "Optimist" is one of Duan Liying's masterpieces, and the high notes are quite scary.
Gan Kaicheng said from behind: "She sings better now!" After he finished reading, he asked Yang Jingxing to sit down, and then called: "Xiao Jin, get a contract to transfer the copyright."
Qi Qingnuo looked at Yang Jingxing: "A treat."
A sample contract for copyright transfer was not complicated, just three pages, so Gan Kaicheng asked Yang Jingxing to take a good look at it.
The content is to prosper the cultural market and promote excellent music works and performers to quickly enter the market. Party A and Party B will do what they want based on mutual consultation on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
The content is not complicated. Party A is the songwriter, including lyrics and music. After receiving the money, it only has the right of signature and honor. All other rights belong to Party B. Party A must also ensure that the work is not plagiarized.
Otherwise, the responsibility is still Party A’s. Of course, this transfer also has a time period, decades! Party B is not Xu Cheng, but Red Star Records Co., Ltd.
Yang Jingxing looked it over and said there was no problem. Gan Kaicheng was satisfied and asked with a smile: "What price do you want?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Newcomers should pay whatever price they deserve."
Qi Qingnuo said: "Newcomers usually have one thousand to three thousand, and I am from the three thousand club."
Yang Jingxing asked: "What about me?"
Gan Kaicheng thought for a moment, as if making a difficult decision: "I'll give you five thousand, do you want to split it between the two of you?"
Yang Jingxing thanked him. Qi Qingnuo rolled his eyes: "Two thousand and five, lucky."
Oops, the contract can't be signed yet, because Tao Meng also has to sign, and she is the lyricist. Gan Kaicheng seemed to be in a hurry: "Can you ask her to come over and bring her ID card."
So Yang Jingxing called Tao Meng. Tao Meng was surprised: "So soon? Have you read the contract? Just wait for me, I'll go right away."
Let’s wait for the lyricist, but it’s not boring. There are many things to talk about. Gan Kaicheng asked Yang Jingxing tactfully, did this song borrow anything from others? Of course not. Yang Jingxing asked what the shortcomings were, and Gan Kaicheng indeed said that he had compiled it
The orchestration may need some modifications. Yang Jingxing said it’s best not to change the lyrics because he didn’t write them.
Qi Qingnuo asked Gan Kaicheng: "Really sing for Xu Cheng?"
Gan Kaicheng was perfunctory: "It's possible, let's take a look first and then say... The song is a good song, and I will do it well."
Tao Meng said she would come right away, but let the three people here wait for an hour. Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing to go downstairs to pick her up, and Yang Jingxing praised her diplomatic attire very much.
"Five thousand... isn't that much?" Tao Meng was not sure.
Yang Jingxing said: "We each have half, so we don't need to sign a contract, right?"
Tao Meng was very generous: "I don't care, but I want to see the contract."
After going upstairs, Qi Qingnuo welcomed Tao Meng with an exaggerated expression: "So beautiful!" Anyway, they have completely different styles now.
Tao Meng said hello briefly and read the contract, then asked, "Can I use the fax?" She explained to Yang Jingxing that she had hired a lawyer to help read the contract. Gan Kaicheng didn't think it was an exaggeration and said it was good.
Tao Meng sent the fax, and after waiting for about ten minutes, the phone call came: "Yeah... Got it." Hey, it seemed that the lawyer was more professional, so Tao Meng asked: "Mr. Gan, about the bonus for winning works.
Shouldn’t the distribution method be more specific?”
Gan Kaicheng explained seriously: "Basically there are no awards for composition and lyrics, and there are no bonuses. They are all awards for performance and production... You can specify it in detail, and if there are any, they will all be given to you."
Tao Meng was businesslike: "That should be written clearly." Then she continued to listen to the phone. After listening, she asked again: "About the project share, do we also need to explain it in detail?"
Gan Kaicheng smiled: "Actually, apart from publishing, there is no project share, and performances do not count."
For a simple contract, the lawyer Tao Meng found raised a lot of questions, such as whether Party B's promise to have the work on the market within five years was too long, and the method was too perfunctory... But fortunately, it was not a big problem.
Gan Kaicheng made some concessions and had some content added to the contract that had no practical significance. He then printed it out and showed it to Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng.
Tao Meng looked at it carefully again and said to Yang Jingxing: "Is it almost done?"
Yang Jingxing was reassured: "If you say yes, there will be no problem."
Then let's start signing the contract. Tao Meng's pen is a high-end product. She said to Yang Jingxing: "You sign first."
It had to be signed several times, including the beginning, composer, and ending, in several copies. After Yang Jingxing finished signing, Tao Meng looked at it and she was not happy: "You really signed 402... forget it, it's up to you."
Tao Meng's signature posture is very handsome, and the signature design is also handsome and grand!
I can't get the money today, and I have to wait for the company's internal procedures to be completed. However, the work has been delivered, and Gan Kaicheng said it will be available next week.
Of course, they wanted to have lunch together to celebrate, so Yang Jingxing invited Gan Kaicheng. But Gan Kaicheng said that he had something to do in the afternoon and was not free, so he sent a few people into the elevator and said goodbye.
In the elevator, Qi Qingnuo said to Yang Jingxing, "I'm going home first so I won't disturb your world."
Tao Meng invited: "Together, he should thank you."
Qi Qingnuo said: "Thank you later."
Tao Meng insisted: "Let's get together. We are all good friends. It would be bad for you to leave like this."
Yang Jingxing said: "I'll give Yu Xinting a call."
When I got out of the elevator, I met three people. Hey, what a coincidence, one of them was Xu Cheng. Tao Meng was polite and said, "Hello, Miss Xu." There was a little surprise.
Xu Cheng glanced at Tao Meng as a sign of approval. The man blocking her in front of her had no intention of getting out of the way. Yang Jingxing dragged Tao Meng's arm and left. It didn't matter.
Tao Meng still blamed: "You should say hello."
Yang Jingxing said: "I'm not star-chasing."
Qi Qingnuo said: "The song may not necessarily be sung to her."
Tao Meng asked why, and felt relieved and even happy knowing that Xu Cheng was not worthy of the diva.
Yang Jingxing called Yu Xinting. This girl had just finished tutoring. She was very happy when she heard it was a celebration and asked if she wanted to invite An Xin to come with her. Yang Jingxing said forget it.
A cold breeze came out, and Yang Jingxing asked Tao Meng: "Are you cold?" She was indeed quite thin now, and she wanted beauty rather than warmth.
Tao Meng said: "Fortunately, I have clothes."
It turned out that Tao Meng's windbreaker was left in the car. After taking the clothes, she sent the driver away, and then called her father: "Dad... signed... thank you... they said we would have lunch together... just four
Individuals...we are all friends...ok."
After the phone call, I still had to explain: "The lawyer is from my father's company, so I have to say that he is very happy...Have you told your family?"
Yang Jingxing hadn't yet and said he would call again in the evening.
When Yang Jingxing picked up the car, Tao Meng took the initiative to sit in front, holding a pen in his hand, and said, "I didn't expect this to be the first contract I signed."
Yang Jingxing laughed: "It's only five thousand yuan, isn't it very shameful?"
Tao Meng smiled: "Indeed...give it to you."
Yang Jingxing was surprised: "You don't even want a pen?"
Tao Meng inserted the pen into Yang Jingxing's pocket and said, "You will use this to sign from now on."
Yang Jingxing sighed: "It's so stressful."
Qi Qingnuo said from behind: "There is motivation only when there is pressure, come on."
Tao Meng turned around and asked, "Has your song been published?"
Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "I wrote two random songs, they are fun, but no one seems willing to sing them."
Tao Meng was surprised: "Didn't you promise to go public within five years?"
Qi Qingnuo said: "Just find a small singer and play it on a small radio station and it will be considered a listing. I will be lucky if you can sell it and no one will pursue the contract."
Tao Meng was worried: "This counts...then it's better not to sell it."
Qi Qingnuo said: "Don't worry, your song will probably be finished soon."
Tao Meng said: "Actually, I don't care, but he is a professional..."
Qi Qingnuo smiled: "You don't have to worry about him."
"Why?"
"When gold always shines again."
Yang Jingxing turned around and thanked Qi Qingnuo: "You have the final say on what you want to eat."
Tao Meng suggested: "Let's go to Grand Hyatt, or a restaurant."
Yang Jingxing said: "It's only five thousand yuan, just eat stir-fried rice."
Tao Meng was not happy: "It's not about the money. I'm happy."
Qi Qingnuo treated herself as a guest: "It's the same wherever you go when you're happy...didn't you also write the lyrics?"
Tao Meng was modest: "I wrote it blindly, it's not good... Did you write the lyrics yourself?"
While Yang Jingxing drove, Tao Meng and Qi Qingnuo chatted all the way. Tao Meng learned that Qi Qingnuo's accomplishments came from her mother, and her musical talent came from her father. Qi Qingnuo learned that Tao Meng loves painting and reading, and doesn't like anything particularly literary.
Qi Qingnuo said: "I have been reading junior high school for three years, and I am tired of reading small books and small books."
Tao Meng said: "Actually, I have read it too. I thought it was quite interesting at first... I read more comics at that time and bought a lot of them."
Qi Qingnuo said: "I have read a few books, "The Sky is Red Bank"..."
