Eight Trips to Xiangjiang (3)

Fang Siyi's heart moved, and he asked with a smile on his face, "What's wrong?"

"Director Fang is not an outsider...... Zhu Yin slapped Huang Guanzhong with his arm.

Huang Guanzhong was silent.

In the end, it was Zhu Yin who said the reason.

"Ah Guan, the reason why their group disbanded was because of the band's songs. ”

Looking at Huang Guanzhong, Fang Siyi thought thoughtfully.

To put it bluntly, it was still because of property disputes.

As members, they all enjoy the opportunity to sing Beyond's songs.

But here's the problem.

Singing, especially singing songs from previous bands, needs to be copyrighted.

If other people want to sing it, then they need to pay a fee.

But in this way, it is inevitable that a problem will be involved.

Beyond's songs were written by Huang Jiaju before his death, and these songs should be regarded as Beyond's songs, or Huang Jiaju's own songs.

In other words, in addition to the Beyond band itself, Huang Jiaju's younger brother enjoys the natural inheritance of the copyright of his brother's songs.

Huang Guanzhong wanted to sing these songs back then, because he was the lead singer of the Beyond band at that time, according to the contract, the performance fee for a song should be paid to Huang Jiaju's younger brother in a proportion.

Because of this number of times, Huang Guanzhong thought about whether he could buy the copyright of the song.

But in this way, it directly angered the other party, and the other party preemptively created public opinion, scolding Huang Guanzhong for wanting to steal the copyright profits brought by Beyond songs, so that the two scolded and fought for a long time.

Both of them also have their supporters, and they both have their own evidence.

Although Huang Guanzhong won the lawsuit in the end, it is clear that Beyond was disbanded because of this.

In other words, it is really difficult for Fang Siyi to reunite with Beyond in a movie.

Fang Siyi had a headache.

With regret, Fang Siyi could only leave first.

Fang Siyi, who originally thought that things were very simple, never expected that there would be such a deviation.

With no choice, Fang Siyi could only go to the residence of the rest of the Beyond band.

Ye Shirong said that he was a neutral member back then, although he was more inclined to Huang Guanzhong, he basically remained neutral, and he was very happy to receive Fang Siyi's invitation.

Of course, Fang Siyi's salary is also worth being happy about.

Make a cameo, a friendship price of one million.

If you are sincere, it will be easy to get it.

However, after getting rid of Ye Shirong, when Fang Siyi saw Huang Jiaqiang, that is, Huang Jiaju's younger brother, he suddenly had a little doubt.

At that time, Huang Jiaqiang was very popular, and the concerts were held year after year.

Although it is a cold rice that misses Huang Jiaju, there is no shortage of money.

Strangely, Wong's home doesn't seem to be luxurious.

It's not even as good as Ye Shirong.

It's weird.

It stands to reason that as Huang Jiaju's younger brother and got the copyright of songs such as "Sea and Sky", Huang Jiaqiang's life should be very rich.

Although Huang Jiaju has passed away for more than 20 years, as a classic track of the Beyond band, it is still sung from time to time.

Although the Celestial Empire does not have a very complete copyright system, it has begun to pay attention to it in recent years, and some important occasions and some programs have also begun to take the initiative to pay fees.

It stands to reason that Huang Jiaqiang, who controls the copyright, really won't be mixed up like this.

Soon, Fang Siyi met Huang Jiaqiang.

Unexpectedly, unlike the previous impression of Huang Jiaqiang from Huang Guanzhong's mouth, Huang Jiaqiang's personality is very free.

Then Fang Siyi learned the reason for the band's disbandment from the other party's mouth.

It turned out that Huang Guanzhong and his wife lied.

Yes, lie.

It was true that Beyond dissolved because of financial disputes, but the real reason was......

Huang Jiaju passed away that year, and the development of the remaining three people in Japan was also greatly impacted.

The strength of the three is not enough to compare with Huang Jiaju.

So much so that even if Huang Jiaqiang tries his best to imitate his brother's singing, singing skills are singing skills, and this kind of thing cannot erase the gap with the name of relatives.

So much so that the band's fame is not as good as before.

The fame is smaller, the popularity is less, and the popularity is less, and this income is less.

In order to make money, it is naturally impossible for the brokerage company to sign according to the previous contract, so it is inevitable to reduce salaries.

In this way, the three of them were naturally unwilling.

The three of them are combined, and they simply come out to do it alone.

But this is a copyright issue.

Everyone knows that although Beyond is no longer as popular and famous as before, with the idea that it can make a fortune, the brokerage company put forward a harsh condition for them at that time.

Pretty penny.

The remaining three members of the band gritted their teeth and finally scraped together the money.

And successfully got all the copyrights of the songs of the band Beyond.

But here's the problem.

When the three of them became an army, there was naturally nothing, the copyright of the song belonged to the band, and anyone of the three could sing it.

But when the band established by the three of them became more and more famous, and even later could not receive commercial performances, the contradiction broke out all of a sudden.

Huang Guanzhong is a rich second generation, he himself married Zhu Yin, and he was an actor before, and his family has some silver.

Because Huang Jiaqiang has five people, including Huang Jiaju's brothers and sisters, the family conditions are not very good.

Ye Shirong is just an ordinary person.

So when buying the copyright, Huang Guanzhong owned more than 50% of the band's copyright.

Because at that time, everyone was a band, so there was naturally nothing about it.

But when the band could no longer sustain itself, the problem came.

It is important to know that there is no special patent and copyright law in China.

In other words, copyright patents are a term that has only emerged in recent years.

When they disbanded that year, the law was not sound, so when the three of them went their separate ways, Huang Guanzhong raised a question.

Beyond's songs, to whom.

Huang Jiaqiang naturally said himself.

Ye Shirong was noncommittal.

Although he is also a member of the band, he is not the lead singer, so it has little to do with him.

Huang Guanzhong said, then I'll give you a sum of money, and sell these songs to me.

Huang Jiaqiang naturally agreed.

Yes, he agreed.

For him at the time, that amount of money was a huge amount of money.

Especially after the death of his brother Huang Jiaju, the life of the Huang family has become more and more difficult, so that money is very important.

But here's the problem.

Everyone knows that the copyright of songs is rarely defined, but in fact, at that time, the three people had actually handed over the copyright.

In other words, legally speaking, Huang Guanzhong holds all the copyrights to the songs of the band Beyond.

But the problem is that when many years later, Huang Jiaqiang suddenly found out that Huang Jiaju actually lived in a small villa, and the income from a concert was as high as several million.

The contradiction has completely exploded!
