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

Xu Jing said in a more serious tone: "Wang Xiao, I have been talking to them for a long time about your appointment with the program group. They are willing to make some concessions, and they want to invite you out to sit down and have a good talk, do you have time now?"

Wang Xiao said softly: "Old Xu, in fact, you don't have to help me so much. I guess that I may not be able to talk to the program team about going together, the stage of the voice, I certainly want to be on it, this is a place where I can prove myself. However, I will not sacrifice myself to prove myself. ”

"And, Elder Xu, do you think they will give in for me alone?"

In fact, Wang Xiao has given up the idea of being on the stage of The Voice.

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

Xu Jing: "Wang Xiao, things can still be discussed." Haven't you already been accepted into the conservatory?"

Wang Xiao: "Well, I haven't completed the formalities 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, and there are preferential terms for the students of the conservatory." The two producers you met are at a coffee shop near your school, and you and your agent can stop by now and talk about it if you have time. ”

In the face of Xu Jing's constant invitations, Wang Xiao agreed: "Okay, then we'll go over now, trouble Xu Lao, you worry so much about me." ”

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

Wang Xiao smiled: "Old Xu, I don't dare to take on such an important responsibility. ”

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

Wang Xiao: "Okay, let's go." ”

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

Liu Yue said to Wang Xiao: "Wang Xiao, if you need the conservatory of music, you can call me, we will definitely support you, you are now a student of our academy!"

Wang Xiao: "Thank you, Professor Liu, if necessary, I will." ”

Chen Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Wang Xiao, I'm still waiting to compete with you on the national stage." ”

Wang Xiao: "Then you have to be ready to lose." ”

Chen Xiaoyue was not convinced: "That's not necessarily. ”

Wang Xiao smiled confidently, didn't say anything more, waved to the three of them, and turned around with Zhu Ziqi to leave first!

The coffee shop is just down the street.

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi walked a few hundred meters to the door of the store and saw Xu Jing waving to them on the second floor.

"Will they really budge?"

Zhu Ziqi asked in a low voice with some disbelieving.

Wang Xiao: "I don't know, we see the opportunity to act, anyway, the copyright issue can't be compromised, it's a big deal." ”

Zhu Ziqi also nodded firmly: "Hmm!"

The more she understands the entertainment industry, the more Zhu Ziqi knows the importance of the copyright of her works, many old singers rely on the copyright of several masterpieces to eat and drink for a lifetime, and it is not uncommon to get hundreds of millions of income from a song, and many old record companies also rely on the copyright library to survive.

And larger film and television copyrights are a matter of principle for many large companies that would rather die than give in.

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

Zhu Ziqi has already thought that in the future, she will set up a company to operate Wang Xiao's song copyright, which is worth operating for a long time.

It's just that the exclusive copyright fee given by Shenteng now is a lot of income, plus the subsequent download number sharing, the income will be more.

The copyright of a good work is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gold mountain that cannot be hollowed out!

The two communicated in advance, and walked calmly to the small private room in the corner of the second floor.

Xu Jing personally came out to pick up Wang Xiao: "We watched your live broadcast together last night, because of your high popularity and the fact that you have been admitted to the Conservatory of Music, we can win some convenience for you." ”

Wang Xiao: "Thank you, Mr. Xu!"

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

Walking into the private room, there were people familiar to Wang Xiao, Zhang Yufeng of Shenteng Music, and two other people, Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng.

The three of them politely stood up 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 they were the two sides of the negotiation.

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

Ma Hua looked at Wang Xiao and praised: "Congratulations Wang Xiao, your new song Birch Forest was very successful last night." We watched your live broadcast together, and we were almost moved to tears by your singing. Your music has a touching magic that has a great response on all major social platforms. ”

Wang Xiao took a sip of coffee and said modestly: "Mr. Ma has won the award, 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 when you negotiated the contract with the program team, you encountered difficulties?"

Wang Xiao nodded, glanced at Zhu Ziqi, and motioned to Zhu Ziqi to say that she was half a professional, but she had enough experience, and now was the time to accumulate experience.

Zhu Ziqi had a serious face, her hair was tied in a neat ponytail, and the momentum of the strong woman carried a youthful and active atmosphere, and she said in a solemn tone: "Yes, Mr. Ma, Mr. Hu! Yesterday we got your standard contract, and 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, it is all relative, and it is a matter of position!"

His subconscious meaning is that you just stand in your shoes and feel unfair, and you are only thinking about your own interests.

Zhu Ziqi glanced at Hu Xiaocheng, and then continued: "What Mr. Hu said is very correct, everyone has their own position, so they all consider it from the perspective of their own interests. However, the basis of cooperation is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and if there is no such idea, there will be no basis for cooperation, and there will be no need to talk, Mr. Hu, what do you think?"

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

Zhu Ziqi obviously came prepared, opened the contract document saved yesterday from his mobile phone, pointed to the text he marked and said: "Unconditionally obey the arrangement of the program team, this is ignoring our own freedom and will, right? Even the song selection and program performance must obey the arrangement? To be honest, Mr. Hu, Mr. Ma, this rule makes me doubt the fairness of your program, whether you can unconditionally ask us to give up the competition when necessary? Do you want to let whoever you want to go on stage?"

Zhu Ziqi's sharp question made Hu Xiaocheng and MCA both look different!

As a strong party, when they make contracts, they try to gain greater convenience and power for themselves as much as possible, so they don't delve too much into the details and the meaning behind them.

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

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

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng glanced at each other, and they both put away a trace of contempt for Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi.

MCA said: "This is indeed our negligence, and we will improve it in the future and explain it in more detail." ”

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

Zhu Ziqi skipped this question and emphasized the copyright rules and conditions: "The most important thing is about copyright! Both, I can understand the cost of your program team to buy the copyright of song covers and adaptations, so you can ask the contestants to perform the copyright of the version on your program belongs to your program group, and even let the contestants share the cost of buying the copyright." However, our Wang Xiao's songs are all your own songs, you have not paid for it, and we hope to keep all the copyrights. ”

Hu Xiaocheng said softly: "This is impossible! Although it is your own song, we have not paid for the copyright, but we have also paid a lot of other aspects. A lot of staff will be there for you. ”

Zhu Ziqi asked rhetorically: "So, isn't the service of the program crew the basic configuration that should be? I have never heard that the staff service of any variety show will be charged a separate service fee." ”

MCA: "Ms. Zhu, those are the invisible efforts of the show. I won't go into details, about the copyright issue you mentioned, we can make a little concession! That is, sharing, all the songs sung by Wang Xiao on our program group, we share the copyright with him, but our copyright is only limited to the stage of The Voice, and will not participate in the income of any other platform, what do you think?"

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

Hu Xiaocheng said softly: "That is to say, the songs sung by Wang Xiao on our stage, our Voice program group permanently enjoys the right to cover and adapt, and our Voice program group can use it for free in the future, but it is only limited to our program stage, and we have the right to enjoy all the benefits of the Voice version, so let's make it clear." ”

Zhu Ziqi looked at Hu Xiaocheng, then at Ma Hua, and smiled even brighter: "I understand." Actually, you don't care very much about Wang Xiao, right? What you care about is just the copyright of Wang Xiao's songs, you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, get a permanent authorization at one time, and the surrounding benefits, am I right?"

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

said that as long as the voice is authorized, they do not enjoy the copyright income of other platforms, but they enjoy the copyright of the stage performance version of The Voice, and the copyright income of this stage version on all other platforms is theirs, and there will definitely be many contestants who will cover Wang Xiao's songs, and they will have a steady stream of income.

In the end, they will be anti-guest and enjoy most of the benefits of Wang Xiao's song copyrights, Wang Xiao himself can't even drink soup, so he can only eat some scum......

Moreover, just by licensing them for free forever, the long-term savings of this cover and adaptation copyright fee are a huge number!

The calculation is deep!

didn't take Wang Xiao's interests into account in the slightest, and tried to eat as much as possible if he could eat you clean.

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of Jingjing, but they were calm on the surface.

Hu Xiaocheng shook his head and said, "Ms. Zhu, what we talked to you about was only the issue of cooperating with the voice. 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 already made concessions to Wang Xiao. ”

MCA: "That's true, we have already made concessions, Ms. Zhu, you should also make appropriate concessions, so that we can win for both sides." ”

Zhu Ziqi shook his head and said unceremoniously: "I didn't see a win-win situation, only greed and contempt. Maybe you can go and learn about the data on Shenteng Music now, Wang Xiao's music was launched on the ShenTeng Music platform last night, you want the permanent authorization of these songs when you open your mouth, I don't know how dark your heart is to say it. ”

Zhang Yufeng said at this time: "I got the data in the morning, the total downloads of all Wang Xiao's songs in one night have exceeded 3.5 million, and the single downloads of Bai Hualin have exceeded 500,000, and the single song should be able to reach more than one million downloads within 24 hours.

"As for how much gold the data of that traffic Xiao Xianrou has, I won't say! However, every download of all Wang Xiao's songs is real active fans, and at least more than 100,000 users have simply opened members for him. ”

This data made everyone present very sideways.

Zhu Ziqi looked at Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua: "You have always stood in the perspective of the superior, looking at me and Wang Xiao with a charity attitude, completely ignoring our Wang Xiao's current achievements and popularity, to be honest, I am very disappointed in you, with your attitude, the Voice of China may not even be able to win the third place in the world this year." ”

"It's not that we Shenzhou musicians don't have strength, but that powerful players can't get in!"

Zhu Ziqi's words made the two of them look ugly in an instant, and they couldn't keep calm, and they didn't dare to take the hat down.

Hu Xiaocheng: "Ms. Zhu, please pay attention to what you say, we are all fighting for the interests of the program team and the company, not for us."

Zhu Ziqi: "That has nothing to do with us, okay! Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, let's stop today's conversation, we don't see your sincerity, we only see your self-righteousness and greed." ”

Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua's faces became more difficult to look at again, and they thought that their little concession would be enough for Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi to agree.

After all, the stage influence of The Voice is huge, and it has a fatal attraction to many independent singers and wandering musicians, they have made many people succumb in recent years, and those who don't give in will be left to fend for themselves, regardless of whether you have the strength or not, obedient players are good players!

Especially the huge success of last year's Voice International Competition made the attraction of the show even greater, and before it even started, many famous stars and singers contacted the program team and wanted to appear on the show, and they were willing to make a cameo.

There are several kings and diva-level singers, and first-line superstars have sent agents to contact the program team, saying that they want to appear in international competitions, be guests of contestants, or the like, anything, you can show your face.

As for the mentor quota for the next issue of The Voice, it has almost made many veteran kings and queens compete for secretly.

In this way, the entire Voice program group feels as if they are God.

What is a small anchor, even if it is the first anchor?

Wang Xiao didn't want to talk to Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua, so she stood up and ignored them, and shook hands with Xu Jing: "Old Xu, Manager Zhang, please help." ”

Xu Jing's face was unusually calm, and he shook hands with Wang Xiao heavily: "Wang Xiao, thank you for giving the old man my face, pay attention to reading Weibo at night, and remember to like me." ”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how Xu Jing said it on Weibo, but immediately agreed: "Okay, Xu Lao's Weibo, I will definitely like it." ”

Wang Xiao said to Zhang Yufeng: "Our cooperation with Shenteng Music is also quite pleasant. ”

Zhang Yufeng: "I respect every musician, especially those who have dreams and focus on music. ”

Wang Xiao was noncommittal: "I hope so." ”

After speaking, Wang Xiao didn't pay attention to Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng at all, just nodded lightly with an expressionless face, and then left with Zhu Ziqi.

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng's faces were very ugly, and they felt that they had been humiliated.

They are accustomed to being high up in the sky and holding the power of life and death of many people who want to be on the stage of The Voice, and they are annoyed by being so ignored by an anchor at this moment.

Hu Xiaocheng looked at Xu Jing: "Old Xu, you see, it's not that we don't give face and don't make concessions, it's that they don't give in at all, and that's not how the negotiations are discussed!"

Ma Hua also echoed and said: "Old Xu, Manager Zhang, such a player, even if he agrees, we don't dare to ask for it." Our program group is now attracting the attention of the world, and if the contestants are disobedient and cause an accident on the stage, it will be our entire Shenzhou musicians who will lose face. ”

Zhang Yufeng smiled but did not speak, did not speak at all, but had contempt in his eyes.

Xu Jing got up directly and walked out, and said in a solemn tone: "Two, I officially quit the program group." ”

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng were stunned for a moment, then their faces changed and they hurriedly chased out.

Zhang Yufeng sat alone in the small private room, drank the coffee slowly, looked at the empty private room, and said: "The more talented people are, the more eccentric they are, why do you have to provoke them? This time the matter may not end well!"

He is at the helm of Shenteng Music, and there is a cooperative relationship with the Voice program group, and he has a producer position in the program group, and he has no real power in the program group, and the program production company is independent.

However, he took out his mobile phone, logged on to his Weibo account, and posted a few texts: "I resigned from the position of The Voice producer for personal reasons." ”

Xu Jing ignored any persuasion from Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng, stopped a taxi with an expressionless face and left, and quickly posted Weibo information on his mobile phone in the car: "I resigned from the position of The Voice producer, and I will announce the reason in the evening." ”

Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi were walking on the road, and a message prompt rang on their mobile phones, which was a prompt that would only appear when the Weibo account they paid special attention to released information.

And there are only two Weibo accounts that Wang Xiao pays special attention to, one is Xu Jing, and the other is Zhu Ziqi!

"It's the information released by Xu Lao. ”

Wang Xiao took out his mobile phone, boarded Weibo and saw the information released by Xu Jing, thinking of what Xu Jing said to himself at the end just now, and thought of a lot in his heart, and immediately forwarded and liked this Weibo message, and sent a few firm words: "Support Xu Lao." ”

Zhu Ziqi's eyes flashed with thought: "Old Xu, is this going to lift the table?"

Wang Xiao nodded lightly: "It's possible!"
