129. Greed for copyright, I quit, I quit too!(1/2)

Wang Xiao came out and stood at the door and answered the phone: "Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"

Xu Jing said in a serious tone: "Wang Xiao, I have talked with them for a long time about your appointment with the program group. They are willing to make certain concessions and want to ask you to come out and sit down and have a good talk. Do you have time now?"

Wang Xiao said softly: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to help me in such trouble. I guess I may not be able to talk to the program team. Although I want to go on the stage of Good Voice, this is a place that can prove myself. But I will not sacrifice myself, and I will prove myself again."

"And, Mr. Xu, do you think they will give in to me alone?"

In fact, Wang Xiao had given up on the idea of ​​going to the Voice stage in his heart.

He will not go to the stage to prove himself in order to make himself wronged, and the other party is unlikely to give in to himself.

Xu Jing: "Wang Xiao, things can be discussed. Haven't you been admitted to the Conservatory of Music?"

Wang Xiao: "Well, I'm not finished the procedures yet, and I'm just going to apply to Professor Liu today."

Xu Jing: "Then there is room for negotiation. There is a cooperative relationship between the program team and the Conservatory of Music. There are preferential terms for students in the Conservatory of Music. The two producers you have met are in a coffee shop near your school. If you and your agent are in time, come here now and talk."

Faced with Xu Jing's constant invitation, Wang Xiao agreed: "Okay, then let's go now. Please, Mr. Xu, you are so worried about me."

Xu Jing said helplessly: "I'm not just for you. I just don't want a person to be buried like this. I hope to make some contribution to our Chinese music."

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Old Xu, I dare not take on such an important responsibility."

Xu Jing: "It's not just you, it's a lot of people. Come here quickly, we still have flights this afternoon."

Wang Xiao: "Okay, let's go now."

Wang Xiao put down the phone and turned to look at Zhu Ziqi: "Ziqi, let's go and meet Mr. Xu."

Liu Yue said to Wang Xiao: "Wang Xiao, if you need to take action from the Conservatory of Music, you can call me. We will definitely support you. You are now a student of our college!"

Wang Xiao: "Thank you Professor Liu, if you need it, I will."

Chen Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Wang Xiao, I'm still waiting to compete with you on the national stage."

Wang Xiao: "Then you have to be prepared to lose."

Chen Xiaoyue was dissatisfied: "That's not necessarily."

Wang Xiao smiled confidently, said nothing, waved to the three of them, and turned around and left first!

The coffee shop is right next to the street.

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi walked a few hundred meters before reaching the store door. They saw Xu Jing wave at him on the second floor.

"Will they really give in?"

Zhu Ziqi asked in a low voice with some disbelief.

Wang Xiao: "I don't know, we act according to the opportunity. Anyway, we cannot give in to copyright issues. At worst, we won't get it."

Zhu Ziqi also nodded firmly to this: "Yes!"

The more you understand the entertainment industry, the more Zhu Ziqi knows the importance of copyright in her work. Many old singers rely on the copyright of several representative songs to eat and drink for a lifetime. It is not uncommon for examples of making hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from a song. Many old record companies also survived firmly by relying on copyright libraries.

The larger film and television copyright is a matter of principle that many large companies would rather die than give in.

Many international entertainment groups may rely on one or two film and television copyright series to support the entire company's revenue.

Zhu Ziqi has already thought that she will set up a company to operate Wang Xiao’s song copyright in the future, which is worth long-term operation.

Just the exclusive copyright fee given by Shenteng now is a considerable income. With the subsequent download share, the income will be more.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the copyright of a good work is a gold mountain that cannot be dug out!

The two of them communicated in advance and came to the small private room in the corner of the second floor with steady steps.

Xu Jing came out to pick up Wang Xiao in person: "We watched your live broadcast together last night. Because of your popularity and the fact that you have been admitted to the Conservatory of Music, you can get some convenience for you."

Wang Xiao: "Thank you Mr. Xu!"

No matter what the result is, Xu Jing did a lot for him, and Wang Xiao is grateful.

When I walked into the private room, I was filled with people familiar to Wang Xiao, including Zhang Yufeng who was deeply interested in music, and two others, Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng.

The three of them stood up politely and shook hands with Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi one by one, but sat down separately.

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi sat opposite Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng, and were both parties to the negotiations.

Xu Jing and Zhang Yufeng sat on the other side and were considered witnesses.

Ma Hua looked at Wang Xiao and praised: "Congratulations to Wang Xiao, your new song Baihua Forest was very successful last night. We watched your live broadcast together, and we almost cried by your singing. Your music has a touching magic and has received good responses on major social platforms."

Wang Xiao took a sip of coffee and said modestly: "Mr. Ma has been awarded. I am just a small anchor, not worth mentioning."

Ma Hua smiled and immediately got to the point: "Mr. Wang, Ms. Zhu, I heard that you encountered difficulties when you negotiated a contract with the program team?"

Wang Xiao nodded, looked at Zhu Ziqi, and signaled Zhu Ziqi to say that she is half a professional, but she has enough experience, and now it is the time to accumulate experience.

Zhu Ziqi has a serious face and a neat ponytail. The strong woman has a young and active aura in her momentum. She said solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Ma, Mr. Hu! We got your standard contract yesterday. I think this contract is very unfair to us."

Hu Xiaocheng, who had never spoken, said lightly: "There is no truly fair thing in this world. Whether it is fair or not is relative, it is a matter of position!"

He implicitly means that you just feel unfair from your standpoint and only consider it for your own interests.

Zhu Ziqi glanced at Hu Xiaocheng, and then continued: "Mr. Hu said it very correctly. Everyone has their own position, so they are all considered from their own interests. However, the basis of cooperation is to seek common ground while reserving differences. If there is no such idea, there is no basis for cooperation and there is no need to talk about it. Mr. Hu?"

Hu Xiaocheng shrugged and said, "Then let's talk about it first, let's talk about which terms are unfair."

Zhu Ziqi obviously came prepared. She opened the contract document she saved yesterday from her mobile phone, pointed to the text marked by herself and said: "Unconditionally obeying the program team's arrangements is a ignorance of our own freedom and wishes? Even the song selection and program performance must be subject to arrangements? To be honest, Mr. Hu and Mr. Ma, this regulation makes me doubt the fairness of your program. When necessary, you can ask us to give up the competition unconditionally? Do you want whoever you want to go on stage? "

Zhu Ziqi's sharp questions made Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua change their expressions!

As a strong party, when formulating a contract, they always try to gain greater convenience and power for themselves, so they do not go into the details and the meaning behind it.

Ma Hua hurriedly said, "Ms. Zhu, you can't say this casually."

Zhu Ziqi asked back, "Oh? Then what do you think I should say and how do you understand this? You don't have any other details or notes."

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng looked at each other and both put away their contempt for the two young men Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi.

MCA said: "This is indeed our negligence. We will improve it in the future and give more detailed explanations."

Hu Xiaocheng also said: "This can be changed, is there anything else?"

Zhu Ziqi skipped this question and emphasized the copyright details: "The most important thing is the issue of copyright! Two, I can understand the cost of your program team to purchase covers and adapt copyrights, so you can ask the contestants to perform on your program to belong to your program team, and even let the contestants share the cost of your copyright purchase. However, our Wang Xiao's songs are all our own songs, and you have not paid for it. We hope to retain all copyrights."

Hu Xiaocheng whispered: "This is impossible! Although it is your own song and we did not pay the copyright fee, we also paid a lot of other aspects. Many staff will serve you."

Zhu Ziqi asked back: "So, the service of the program team staff is not the basic configuration that should be? I have never heard of any variety show staff service will be calculated separately."

Ma Hua: "Ms. Zhu, those are all invisible efforts of the program. I won't go into detail. We can make a little concession about the copyright issue you mentioned! That is sharing. We share the copyright with all the songs performed by contestant Wang Xiao on our program team, but our copyright is limited to the stage of the Voice of China and will not participate in the income of any other platform. What do you think?"

Zhu Ziqi laughed and asked back, "I don't understand what you mean."

Hu Xiaocheng said softly: "That is to say, our Voice of Good Voice program team will always enjoy the right to cover and adapt the songs that Wang Xiao sang on our stage. In the future, our Voice of Good Voice program team can use them for free, but it is only limited to our program stage and has the right to enjoy all the benefits of the Voice version. That's clear."

Zhu Ziqi looked at Hu Xiaocheng, then at Ma Hua, and smiled brighter: "I understand. Actually, you don't care much about Wang Xiao, right? What you care about is just the copyright of these songs of Wang Xiao. You want to make money by getting permanent authorization and surrounding income at once. I'm right?"

Zhu Ziqi knew the trap in the other party's words as soon as he heard it.

It is said that as long as the Voice of Good is authorized, they do not enjoy the copyright income of other platforms, but they enjoy the copyright of the Voice of Good is stage performance version. The copyright income of this stage version on all other platforms is theirs. At that time, many contestants will definitely cover Wang Xiao's songs. They will have a steady stream of income. After they continue to spread, they will greatly divert the copyright value and download traffic of Wang Xiao's own songs!

In the end, they will turn their backs on the spot and enjoy most of the benefits of all Wang Xiao’s song copyrights. Wang Xiao himself can’t even drink soup, so he can only eat some slag...

Moreover, just by permanently free authorization to them, the copyright fee they saved for a long time is a huge number!

The calculation is very deep!

He did not take Wang Xiao's interests into consideration at all. If you can eat you completely, try to eat as clean as possible.

A trace of Beijing's gleam flashed in Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng's eyes, but they were both calm on the surface.

Hu Xiaocheng shook his head and said, "Ms. Zhu, what we are talking about with you is just a matter of cooperation with the Voice of China. The copyright of the song is only one of the terms! All the copyrights of the songs performed by other contestants on the stage belong to our program team, and we have given up to Wang Xiao."

MCA: "That's true. We have made concessions. Ms. Zhu, you should also make appropriate concessions so that you can win-win."

Zhu Ziqi shook her head and said bluntly: "I didn't see win-win results, I only saw greed and contempt. Maybe you can learn about the data on Shenteng Music now. Wang Xiao's music was launched on the Shenteng Music platform last night. You just want the permanent authorization of these songs. I don't know how dark you can say it."

Zhang Yufeng said at this time: "I got the data in the morning. The total download volume of all Wang Xiao's songs in one night has exceeded 3.5 million, and the download volume of Baihualin's singles exceeds 500,000. It should be able to achieve the singles of over one million downloads within 24 hours. Such data is not inferior to a traffic-produced young actor who released the album last month!"

"As for how valuable the data of that traffic young man is, I won't say it! However, every download of all Wang Xiao's songs is a real active fan, and at least more than 100,000 users simply have members for him."

This data made everyone present look at each other very sideways.

Zhu Ziqi looked at Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua: "You always stand in the perspective of the superiors, looking at Wang Xiao and me in an charity attitude, completely ignoring our current achievements and popularity. To be honest, I am very disappointed with you. With your attitude, the Voice of China may not even be ranked third in the international market this year."

"It's not that we Shenzhou musicians have no strength, but that the capable contestants cannot get in!"

Zhu Ziqi's words made the two look ugly in an instant and they couldn't keep calm. They didn't dare to take this hat off.

Hu Xiaocheng: "Ms. Zhu, please be careful when speaking. We are all fighting for the program team and the company, not for us individually."

Zhu Ziqi: "That has nothing to do with us, okay! If you don't have any speculation, let's stop today's conversation. We don't see your sincerity, but only your self-righteousness and greed."

Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua's expressions became even more ugly again. They thought that their concessions were enough to make Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi agree.

After all, the stage of the Voice of China has a huge impact and has a fatal attraction to many independent singers and wandering musicians. They have made many people surrender in recent years. If they do not surrender, let them fend for themselves. No matter whether you have the strength or not, obedient contestants are good contestants!

Especially the great success of the Voice International Competition last year made the show even more attractive. Before it started, many famous stars and singers contacted the program team and wanted to appear on the show and make a guest appearance once.

Several singers, including the queen-level singers and first-line superstars, sent agents to contact the program team, saying that they wanted to show up in international competitions, be a guest of the contestants, and anything else was fine, and they could show their faces.

The quota of mentors for the next issue of Voice has almost started to fight in secret.
To be continued...
