Chapter XIII Conditions

"May I ask if you are Mr. Zhu Ziqing?"

After signing Feng Zhengyuan, Guo Jiaxing unexpectedly looked at Zhu Ziqing and called out his name accurately. The people around couldn't help but be stunned, he knew Zhu Ziqing?

Zhu Ziqing was also keenly aware that Guo Jiaxing was not using a "classmate", but a more formal title of "Mr".

"I'm Zhu Ziqing. Hello Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to meet you. Zhu Ziqing temporarily suppressed his doubts and said politely.

"I have been famous for Mr. Zhu for a long time, and I am even more famous when I see it today." Guo Jiaxing said with a smile.

"Mr. Guo has won the award, and a little bit of a small name is not worth mentioning. But Mr. Guo, famous China is our idol. ”

"I'm serious." Seeing that Zhu Ziqing didn't believe it, Guo Jiaxing said sincerely:

"Those two naughty bags in my house are your big book lovers, and they have read every one of your fairy tales and campus novels. And your songs, I like them very much. Especially the song "Friends", I especially like it. ”

"It's my pleasure." The smile on Zhu Ziqing's face became a lot more sincere. It is always a joy to be praised by others, especially to be praised by a king of the entertainment industry in person.

"I wanted to visit Mr. Zhu for a long time, but I never found the opportunity. Today, I took the opportunity of the welcome party to finally achieve my wish, which is really unexpected. ”

"Mr. Guo said that you are our idol."

The two of them kept saying compliments like tai chi, but if they carefully distinguished, none of them were useful. The people around looked at the two of them in puzzlement, everyone's time is precious, what do these two want to do with a basket of nonsense?

Lin Baoer is one of the planners of the party, and there are a lot of things, but the important things are not as important as her boyfriend. At this time, she looked at her boyfriend in surprise, but she really didn't expect him to talk nonsense like this.

Guo Jiaxing's assistant kept looking at the time. They have something to do next. His host pulled a student here to talk about something. It was almost too late, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry. But I didn't dare to urge it.

The relationship between an assistant and a star is complicated. Starlets are generally regulated by assistants. But if one party is a king-level superstar, then the assistant is really just an assistant.

The assistant was secretly anxious, and the people around him didn't know. Those who have the opportunity to come backstage are not curious about the king, so there are many people around the door of this lounge. When they saw that the Heavenly King, who was high up in their eyes, was actually talking to a student, they were not to mention how surprised they were.

"Guo Tianwang really deserves to be the king of heaven. The attitude is kind, and he doesn't play big names at all. I really envy that student. It would be nice to replace me with him. ”

"You want to be beautiful. Do you know who that student is? Zhu Ziqing. You don't know Zhu Ziqing, right? ”

"Zhu Ziqing, how could I not know, I especially like to read his novels. The recent anti-corruption novel "Black Hole" was the first time I started it. You won't tell me he's Zhu Ziqing, right? ”

"I'm glad to tell you that he is."

"No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that he is Zhu Ziqing. But that's not right, isn't he writing books? Why did it have anything to do with Guo Tianwang. ”

"It's lonely. He was first famous for writing songs. I've always heard songs like "Childhood" and "Friends", they were all written by him. Guo Tianwang looked for him, and I guess it was probably to ask him for a song. ”

"Isn't it, Guo Tianwang asked him to sing?"

Soon. The news of 'Guo Tianwang asked Zhu Ziqing to sing' spread to the ears of everyone around.

Zhu Ziqing and Guo Jiaxing, who were chatting amicably, didn't know that their seemingly ordinary chat had been interpreted with other meanings. Seeing that the time was ripe, Guo Jiaxing finally revealed his true intentions.

"Speaking of which, I have a reluctant request, and I want to ask Mr. Zhu for help."

"Oh? Please speak. Zhu Ziqing said in his heart, I knew that you had no purpose in chatting with me for so long, and now you have finally entered the topic.

"I'm going to hold a concert at the Wuhan Sports Center in a few days, and I want to cover your song "Friend". I don't know if I can get Mr. Zhu's authorization. ”

So it turned out that Zhu Ziqing finally knew the purpose of Guo Jiaxing's conversation with him. Let's be honest. Zhu Ziqing himself forgot about these songs, if it weren't for Guo Jiaxing's reminder. He couldn't even think of the copyright issue.

Hearing this, the assistant who had been secretly anxious next to him suddenly realized. It turns out that my master's family is not here to gossip, but has a purpose.

It's just that what puzzles him is that if you want to buy the cover right, you can ask the company's specialized personnel to talk about it, so it seems too passive to talk to someone in person. It is impossible for Guo Jiaxing not to know this truth, why do he still do this.

Here's a look at the copyright issues of songs.

Royalties are the main source of income for songwriters. But the copyright ownership of many songs is complicated. If you want to use a song, it is inefficient to talk to the copyright owner every time, not to mention the inefficiency. Thus was born specialized intermediaries.

The copyright owner hands over the copyright to the organization for operation, and the organization collects the copyright fee and then distributes it to them. This will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Covering other people's songs at a concert must obtain permission from the copyright owner, otherwise it is illegal. Not only concerts, commercial performances and other activities, but also talent shows have to pay for singing other people's songs.

In talent shows such as Supergirl and Fast Man. The songs sung by the contestants have all been paid in advance. The negative example is that the first "The Voice" was sued in court for not respecting copyright.

Generally, charity concerts also require royalties, but some taxes can be deducted, so the fees are relatively cheap. Of course, if you negotiate with the copyright owner, you can also use it for free. This is provided that the copyright owner's consent is obtained.

The royalties are not calculated each time, but a sum is paid within a year, and the song can be used an unlimited number of times.

If Guo Jiaxing wants to cover Zhu Ziqing's songs at the concert, he must obtain Zhu Ziqing's permission. It's just that Zhu Ziqing is not a person in the entertainment industry, and he did not hand over the copyright to any intermediary agency to operate. If you want to use his songs, you can only talk to him himself.

Although Zhu Ziqing ignored the copyright issues of these songs before, it does not mean that he does not know the importance of copyright. As soon as Guo Jiaxing reminded him, he immediately realized this problem.

But he himself is not ready to go to the front stage to be a star, these songs are also played. It's also a good idea to sell it for some money. was about to agree, but inadvertently saw Lin Beier in the crowd outside the door.

It is estimated that she also heard the rumors of 'Guo Jiaxing looking for Zhu Ziqing to make an appointment', and ran over to see what was going on. She was poking her head out the door.

Seeing Lin Beier, I thought of Guo Jiaxing saying that he was going to hold a concert just now, and an idea suddenly popped up.

"My songs don't sell." Zhu Ziqing said simply.

Feng Zhengyuan, who was looking at Zhu Ziqing and his idol with envy, suddenly heard that his roommate had rejected the idol's request, and he was immediately anxious and kept giving him a look.

Guo Jiaxing was also stunned, even if he had encountered this kind of rejection many times, he still showed a disappointed expression.

This concert means a lot to him, and the song "Friends" is also important for him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to discuss this issue in person. But since people have made it clear that they will not sell, he will not force it.

In fact, whether there is this song or not does not affect my plans. Having it is just the icing on the cake and makes things even more perfect. It seems that God does not have the heart of adult beauty.

He was about to express his regret, but Zhu Ziqing took a step ahead and said amazingly: "This song is not for sale, but it can be used for you for free." It's free forever. ”

Guo Jiaxing was stunned again, but he had never seen any storms and waves, and he knew that pies would not fall from the sky. Restrained his smile and asked cautiously, "I don't know what Mr. Zhu wants." ”

Zhu Ziqing didn't answer, but turned around and waved to the crowd: "Belle, come here." ”

Lin Beier, who was sticking out her little head and kept looking in, pointed to the tip of her nose in amazement, which meant 'you are calling me'. Seeing Zhu Ziqing nodding, she walked in.

Guo Jiaxing and the others were puzzled, what did Zhu Ziqing do when he called a girl over? Could it be that his conditions have something to do with this girl? But this girl is so beautiful. Only Lin Baoer showed a thoughtful expression.

When Lin Beier approached, Zhu Ziqing said: "This is a student from the vocal music and performance department of our school. She sang the first song tonight. I don't know if Mr. Guo heard it. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be her, and she sang very well. Especially when he dropped his clothes, he was stronger than many celebrities. Guo Jiaxing said without hesitation of praise.

"My request...... No, it would be more appropriate to say that the request is made. I just hope that Mr. Guo can help her. Zhu Ziqing finally said his request.

Lin Beier looked at Zhu Ziqing in disbelief, although she didn't know exactly what was going on, it was obvious that the two parties were trading. What she didn't expect was that his condition was to let Guo Jiaxing help her.

Although his family background does not have to worry about the future road at all, with the help of a heavenly king, he can avoid many detours. She really didn't expect that he would still think of herself at such a time.

And Lin Bao'er, who had been standing aside, showed an expression that was really like this. At the same time, there was also a sigh of unknown meaning in the bottom of his heart.

Guo Jiaxing's assistant looked angry. If it weren't for the fear that the main family would be unhappy, he would have come up and scolded people a long time ago. This concert is unknown to others, but he understands how important it is to Guo Jiaxing.

The invited singing guests will come out casually, and a character who can make the entertainment industry tremble. Now you actually let a milky little girl be a guest singer, it's a big joke.

Zhu Ziqing ignored other people's expressions. just looked at Guo Jiaxing with a smile on his face, waiting for his reply.

"This ......" Guo Jiaxing hesitated for a while.

How could he not understand what Zhu Ziqing meant. But he has been planning this concert for many years, and it is of great significance. He didn't want any problems. But inviting a little girl up to perform is a huge risk in itself.

But he really didn't want to give up the song, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"I'll write a new song for her. And it can also send a song to you. Zhu Ziqing continued to increase the weight. (To be continued.) )
