After confirming that Wang Xiao joined The Voice, Hu Xiaocheng and MCA quickly asked the people in the program team to send Wang Xiao a standard contract!

Determine the candidates as soon as possible, and the program team will also make arrangements as soon as possible.

So, as soon as Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi returned to the rental house, they received a standard contract from the program team!

Wang Xiao just turned on the computer and entered Shenbing's own live broadcast room to take a look, and found that there were still more than 5 million popularity values in the black-screen live broadcast room, ranking first on the current Shenbing platform, and the number of online people may be nearly 100,000, and the dense barrage has never stopped.

Wang Xiao didn't show up in the live broadcast room, but just observed the situation, looked at most of the barrage looking forward to his new songs, and wondered why Wang Yiyun removed all the songs, etc., basically there is no barrage that sprays him.

"Sit back and wait for Brother Xiao's new song. ”

"Brother Xiao, can't find your song on the net?"

"Brother Xiao, Kaiguo and Shark also invested fifteen million to build a school together, what do you think?"

"Anchor, hurry up and sing live. ”

............

Because of yesterday's experience, Yueya and Mu Xizi were afraid that there would be a lot of trolls and trolls to bring the rhythm today, so the two of them guarded the live broadcast room and found that the trolls and trolls were gone, so they talked and chatted with others immediately.

Wang Xiao remembered that the gift money to be returned to them last night had not been given, so she immediately transferred money to the two of them on Q.

Crescent Moon quickly replied: Brother Xiao, are you so serious?

Makusaiko: Crying, trembling!

Wang Xiao: Accept it quickly, if you don't listen to me next time, then I will return it twice, so that you can earn my money, and you can make money by watching live broadcasts.

Yue'er quickly accepted: Brother Xiao, there is no next time. I heard that the Voice program team has come to Chengdu, are you looking for you?

Makusaiko also accepted the transfer, and then silently did not speak.

Wang Xiao replied to the crescent moon: It's still talking, it's not settled!

Crescent Moon: Come on, Brother Xiao, with your strength and such a nice voice, if they don't choose you, then you really have no eyes. Last year, the champion of Shenzhou only won the third place in the world, and with Brother Xiao's strength, you will definitely be able to win the first place and win glory for the country.

Yueya'er's confidence in Wang Xiao is not a little bit, but a brainless belief.

Wang Xiao: Thank you, I'll try my best!

He was a little helpless.

Sometimes, most people want to win glory for their country, but they have no power to do it.

Many people's enthusiasm for winning glory for the country will be used and deterred by the real power, and become a weakness to be exploited, and finally pay a huge price to go international to win glory for the country!

Zhu Ziqi was quickly browsing the details of the contract, and said in a low voice: "I heard a few years ago that the program contract of The Voice is becoming more and more domineering, I haven't paid attention to it, and now it seems that this is not just domineering, but a bit of bullying, it is simply a deed of sale." ”

Wang Xiao looked at Zhu Ziqi: "What kind of deed of sale?"

Zhu Ziqi read: "After the contestants sign the contract, all actions need to obey the arrangements of the program team, even the selection of songs is the same, and they must obey the arrangements of the program team, but there is a process of discussion. After determining the songs to be sung, the program team will buy the copyright of the cover of the relevant songs, and the copyright fee is unbelievable that the contestants themselves have to pay a part......!

Wang Xiao frowned and asked, "Is it because of that incident three years ago?"

In the past, China's copyright awareness was very weak, and all kinds of variety shows and galas wanted to cover whom's songs they wanted, and some so-called folk singers became popular because they covered other people's songs, and then continued to cover songs to make a lot of money, which was tantamount to using other people's works to make money, and did not give any fees to the original singer and the copyright owner.

Three years ago, copyright began to tighten.

Several singers were sued by the original singer for covering other people's songs on variety shows, and the copyright owner finally won the lawsuit and was compensated for all the illegal income of the infringing singers, as well as part of the infringement punishment costs!

Since then, the copyright of songs has been further strictened, and all variety shows need to communicate with the copyright owner in advance and pay the corresponding copyright fees!

This has made the production costs of some music variety shows soar.

The Voice program team is no exception, and it will pay for the copyright of the cover songs on the show every year for the past three years.

However, at that time, the Voice program team had been popular for several years, and had an absolutely strong attitude, and the program team actually asked the contestants to pay a part of the copyright fee, which could be paid to the Voice program group slowly when the contestants became famous in the future.

After all, the contestants who have just participated in the Voice program group are basically powerful people who have not become famous and have been buried, and they will have a sense of surprise after such an appearance. After participating in The Voice, you will get more or less good development and have the ability to pay for this part.

And Wang Xiao also saw the relevant news at the time, it seemed that the Voice program group wanted to take it all, and required the final top three contestants to sign with the company where the program group was located and become its contracted singers, and the percentage of the commission was very high, but it encountered a strong backlash, so it was not implemented and was not implemented.

In short, in a word, the winner wants to eat all the upstream and downstream, and the weak have no bargaining power, either join the exploitation or leave.

Zhu Ziqi pointed to a line of text and said, "Hehe, look here." The Voice program team will automatically own the copyright of all works created by the contestants during the show, and the contestants can share the copyright for their own commercial performances, but cannot authorize others to use them......"

There is also a series of unilateral overlord clauses......

Wang Xiao said directly: "Don't look at it, I can't agree to these conditions." Reply to them, if the contract can't be changed, there is no need to talk about it, it's a big deal not to be on the show. ”

Others don't know the value of his songs, but he himself knows very well that they are all classic songs from another parallel world, all of which are market-proven popular works, and their long-term value is immeasurable.

Now he has earned a lot of exclusive royalties, and he will continue to earn in the future!

You invited me to participate in the show, and in the end you devoured all my work?

Inexistent.

Refuse!

Zhu Ziqi quickly replied in the email according to what Wang Xiao said: "I'm sorry, this contract is too unfair to us, and we hope to renegotiate the details of the contract." ”

The other party did not respond.

Zhu Ziqi didn't care.

Wang Xiao is not a wandering singer who can't afford to eat, or an ordinary person who desperately wants to become famous, and his desire for a good voice is not so strong.

Wang Xiao thought to herself, let's call Xu Jing to explain, after all, the other party came all the way to see him, if he refused so silently, it would not be authentic.

The call went out!

It was quickly connected.

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Hello, Old Xu, I'm Wang Xiao!"

Xu Jing was chatting with a few friends at the Conservatory of Music at the moment, and did not go to the audition meeting, so he said politely: "Hello, Wang Xiao, I'm waiting for your live broadcast at night, the song last night was very good, and I'm looking forward to your new work today." ”

Wang Xiao smiled: "Thank you for your support, I am also very happy that you can like it." I want to talk to you about The Voice, we just received a contract from the program team, this contract is a bit too unfair, and my agent and I can't agree to it. ”

Xu Jing came to the corridor outside, frowned and asked suspiciously, "What are the contract issues?"

Wang Xiao said carefully: "It's about copyright and management, to completely obey all the arrangements of the program team, this is unlikely, the program process can be obeyed, but even the selection of works must be obeyed? In addition, the issue of the copyright of works requires that the copyright of all works during the program period automatically belong to the program team...... Old Xu, this is too domineering. ”

"You know, I like to sing my own songs, so wouldn't that mean that I gave all my songs to the program team? Then I'd rather never participate in this show, it's not interesting, it's not making music, it's not digging up buried good voices, it's catching slaves. ”

"To be honest, I understand a little bit why the quality of The Voice contestants has plummeted in recent years, and last year's champion only won the third place in the World Championships, although there are foreign xenophobic factors. But it's also true that our own players are too weak. I don't think any musician with ideals, strength, and self-confidence can agree to such a contract. ”

Wang Xiao's words made Xu Jing's expression a little unpleasant, he was just one of the producers who was hired, not a decision-making level, similar to a consultant.

In terms of contracts, he has never been involved, and he doesn't know, but occasionally from some gossip news, he has seen that the contestants and the program team have talked about contract issues, but he has never paid attention to it, because the number of tears is still too small, and only occasionally one or two contestants will do this.

Most people chose to endure it silently, thinking about using this platform to become famous, and then jumped out.

In fact, this is not only a problem of good voice, but also a common problem of several other variety shows that have been popular for several years!

Because the show has been popular for several years in a row, with the brand bonus, the producer will remain strong, and take advantage of the contract!

However, The Voice is definitely the blackest, there is no one!

Because, most of the contestants in The Voice are newcomers who are not famous, or losers who failed to make their debut, and they have no bargaining capital!

Most of the other variety shows invite big-name stars, or former big-name stars, so the other party still has bargaining capital, and they will not be eaten to death by the producer.

Moreover, there are so many homogeneous programs now, if your contract is too bullying, other star singers with capital will go to other similar programs, and you can shop around.

Only The Voice has no discussion about bullying newcomers, and several programs of the same kind have not been done, far from the influence of The Voice, especially after last year's international competition, the international response is very strong, and The Voice is almost unique in the music talent show, which also makes the producer even more domineering.

Unless you have a deep background, you will be exploited.

Xu Jing said in a low voice: "I don't know about the contract for the time being, I'll ask the program team, and then discuss it with them, let them communicate with you!"

Wang Xiao smiled: "Thank you Elder Xu for your concern and love for me." However, I don't think it's bothering Mr. Xu, and it's unlikely that they will modify the contract for me alone. Also, the program team is so strong, and I'm a person who eats soft rather than hard, if I join in, there will be friction or something in the future, which will not be good. So, I'm not going. ”

Xu Jing said solemnly: "You don't have to worry, with your strength, you should participate." You were invited by me, and if anyone embarrasses you, you can tell me directly. I'm going to talk to them about your contract and don't give up. ”

Wang Xiaoleng paused: "Well, okay, then it will be troublesome for Old Xu." ”

To be honest, Wang Xiao didn't expect Xu Jing to be so obsessed with letting himself join The Voice, and he himself was not so obsessed.

"Well, you wait for my news. ”

Xu Jing said something, put down the phone, and went to find someone from the program team.

At the same time, he also used his mobile phone to ask the people from the legal department of the program group to send him a standard contract, and after a cursory glance, it made him feel angry, so he squeezed the contract of the bully newcomer, no wonder he couldn't invite really powerful players in the past two years!

Others have the strength and can live on, but if they can't do Internet celebrity live broadcasts, why should they come to be a slave for you?

However, he also saw another contract, which was intended for the players selected from the Conservatory this year, and this contract was much more normal, although there were some relatively strong restrictions, but it was not a pure squeeze contract, it was a cooperation contract!

Wang Xiao is not from a big-name conservatory, nor is there someone behind him, so naturally they can't be preferential, it's just a slave-style contract!

In the audition, several professional musicians are inspecting the ten contestants of the Conservatory of Music, including Chen Xiaoyue!

Ma Hua, Hu Xiaocheng, and Zhang Yufeng stood backstage watching.

Xu Jing walked over angrily, glared directly at Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua and said, "You made the standard contract for the newcomer?"

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng glanced at each other, and then Hu Xiaocheng nodded and said, "We discussed and formulated it with the people from the Ministry of Justice, and each article is in line with the regulations." ”

Xu Jing sneered: "Hehe, what regulations do you meet? Is it in your own interests? Treat all the players as slaves? As black as you can? I said that the quality of the players in the past two years has plummeted, and some of the powerful players who were originally going to come finally refused, so the problem is here!"

Ma Hua said slightly strongly: "Old Xu, this is agreed by the group and the TV station. ”

Xu Jing looked at the two and said in a deep voice, "Wang Xiao is not a newcomer, right?"

Ma Hua shook his head: "He has never debuted, and he has never released a record, why is he not a newcomer?

Xu Jing: "Then Wang Xiao now has millions of fans and two million live online people, so he is not qualified to negotiate a contract?"

Hu Xiaocheng: "Mr. Xu, it is not in the interests of our company to modify the contract. ”

Xu Jing: "Then believe it or not, I will expose the contract to the media now and see what the national audience says?"

Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua's faces changed at the same time.

Zhang Yufeng, who was watching the excitement, also had a solemn look in his eyes.

It's good that this kind of contract is not exposed, and everyone agrees.

Once exposed, this kind of cannibalistic contract will be sprayed to death by public opinion.

Hu Xiaocheng also said solemnly: "Old Xu, you are also one of the producers, and if you are exposed, you will also be affected." ”

Xu Jing looked at the other party without giving way: "Then I will retire after the big deal, and I will let the national audience see how you bully people, and how you only look at interests and not anything else!"

Zhang Yufeng came out to play a round: "Old Xu, Manager Hu, Manager Ma, don't be angry, get angry and hurt your body! In this way, let's discuss with Wang Xiao in the program team and modify the contract for him alone, how about it?"

Xu Jing didn't speak.

Hu Xiaocheng rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "He feels that he is very strong, and if he wants to modify the contract, he can become a collaborator." After he joined the program team, he was responsible for all the logistics, vocal training, soundtrack, costumes and props, and the copyright of cover songs, all of which he was responsible for, and the program team didn't care. ”

Xu Jing was speechless for a while after listening to Hu Xiaocheng's words, it was impossible for him to agree to this condition instead of Wang Xiao.

Because it's hard!

When a master sings on stage, he has to prepare a lot in advance, costumes and props, live soundtracks, etc., and the program team will have someone in charge of it, and there can be no mistakes.

And after joining the mentor group, the mentor will give guidance and the like, and will also help canvass for votes.

The most important thing is the copyright of the cover song.

Without copyright, you can only sing your own songs on stage, otherwise you can cover other people's songs on TV commercial performances without authorization, and you will wait to be sued for compensation.

If Wang Xiao is responsible for all of this, he will definitely open up a gap with other players!

Moreover, Wang Xiao will definitely not be able to do so many things by herself!

Zhang Yufeng said: "Old Xu, Manager Hu, I think, you send these conditions directly to Wang Xiao, let him think about it himself? If not, you can discuss it again, right? Manager Hu, Manager Ma, you should know how terrifying Wang Xiao's popularity is now, the number of online people exceeds two million, and he is the first anchor promoted by our Shenteng Group, and the group values him very much. We Shenteng Music have just won the exclusive copyright of all his songs, and it will be launched tonight, and you will know by looking at the data then. ”

"The fact that he can join the Voice program is also a huge highlight for The Voice!"

Hu Xiaocheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will let someone talk to Wang Xiao about the contract! If you don't want to pay, then you are not eligible to enjoy it." If he asks for a lot, then I can only let him be responsible for everything, our program team and him are the purest cooperative relationship, Xu Lao, this is not oppressive bullying, right?"

Xu Jing snorted coldly and did not speak.
