Chapter 63: Missing

Liu Zhanyun said that the highest price of newcomers, in fact, is close to about 30,000, in 2000 now, this is already a very high price, many ordinary people in Beilin Province at this time a month salary is about 1,000 yuan, 30,000 is their salary for nearly three years, in the music circle, newcomers can get this number to say that it is a rather scary price.

Fan Cheng didn't say much after getting this price, and simply signed the agreement.

But if you want to say whether Fan Cheng is satisfied with this price, of course he is very satisfied in this environment, but the key is actually this environment.

Why there is a lack of excellent composers in China, many people analyze it from various angles, such as the pronunciation of Chinese songs is not suitable, for example, the Chinese civilization is too important to promote the importance of words, and the music is ignored from the beginning......

These reasons Fan Cheng is not professional and cannot be investigated, but there is one aspect that Fan Cheng thinks must be one of the reasons, that is, the remuneration for these creators is too low.

The reason why the remuneration is too low is that the protection of copyright is a big problem.

For the company, 30,000 yuan to buy a song is already a high price, a song 30,000, a hundred songs is 3 million, a large company's music library, how many unused songs, the purchase of these songs is costly.

In addition to the money earned from releasing albums, the price at which TV stations buy music copyrights is very low, like many municipal junior TV stations will not even pay any royalties, in this era, the company has no way to find TV stations one by one, especially many of these TV stations may still be national TV stations.

As for karaoke, Fan Cheng's world was also invented by the Japanese, and this thing also exists in this world, and the right to use the songs in karaoke is implemented in European and American countries, but in China, even karaoke itself has just entered in the past two years, and among the hundred karaoke, I am afraid that ninety-nine households use a pirated system, and the usage fee? I'm afraid it will take at least 10 to 15 years to start implementing that.

In addition to releasing songs as songs, the best way for companies to make money is to use songs that are selected for commercials and TV dramas.

A large number of songs in the library will not be used after spending money, so in essence, those songs that become popular are actually going to be returned to feed the usage fees of these songs.

Therefore, it cannot be said that the company is squeezing creators, but there is a problem from the root.

And this problem is related to Huaxia's economy and backwardness, and it is difficult for Huaxia to talk about copyright at this stage as a chaser, and this problem is big.

And what about countries that are really economically good and have mature copyrights?

Although composers also sell copyrights, most composers retain their own right to use the songs, and once the song is released, the composer can also get a distribution share in it, and the price of this share is usually several times that of the singer, and for example, from the use of TV stations to enterprises, the copyright use of karaoke, and popular songs, the income of these two even accounts for half or even one-third of the composer's income, and the copyright income of song distribution is likely to only account for one-third.

Under this sound copyright system, composers are often frighteningly rich, and some composers who have a fortune can earn back a house or even a lifetime of wealth and prosperity with a single song!

Of course, Fan Cheng also understands that it is almost impossible to achieve this level in Huaxia, so he is not so interested in selling songs, and the price that others think is already high and cannot be negotiated is actually just a mosquito leg in his opinion.

It's not okay to make a fortune by creating, there is only one way to make a fortune, become famous and be a star.

Singing by himself, or relying on decades of accumulation to become the top composer, the former such as Huang Jiaju, Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, and the latter, such as Huang Zhan, can't do it to this extent, it is difficult to make a fortune or something.

With that kung fu, it's better to write a few more jokes from variety shows.

In addition to Wan Hong, Zhu Zhize and other short drama artists and Wang Xingxing have been promoted to third-level artists, which gives them more opportunities to land on variety shows, and Fan Cheng's positioning for them is very flattering, they are the so-called announcement artists, their main business is variety shows, so they will do their best in variety shows, just in just half a year, Yoshimoto Theater has become popular in the TV circle.

Because this group of newcomers is willing to do anything! It's not that they don't have something to refuse, but their refusal is not because they don't want to do it, but because they have some image positioning and something they are good at.

Like Wan Hong's positioning is the positioning of an actress who is a bit "pretending", and Wang Xingxing is a little obscene little fat man positioning, only they don't pick up things that they are not good at, and there is nothing they don't like.

Wang is happy that what they show on other TV shows is a hard work that no one else in the TV industry has ever seen, and when other artists still think that variety shows are just the promotion of their works, they have taken variety shows as their ultimate goal, and they are simply professional supporting roles in variety shows.

When other artists are still using their nature, they are very casual on variety shows, and they may even think that variety shows are nothing more than a longer interview, they already have a very professional script writing for participating in the programs of the variety entertainment channel, and the character construction and Fan Cheng's professional training for them have so many advantages, how can other artists compare with them.

However, most of them still have to come back every week to shoot the programs of the variety entertainment channel, "All the Gathering at 8 o'clock in the evening" is their basic plate, the programs on the variety entertainment channel, first of all, are not to become popular but to learn, for these people in the Yoshimoto Theater Company, what Fan Cheng taught them is what other TV channels and variety show companies in this era do not have, so in this era, they can't learn anything most of the time on other variety shows, other programs just give them a place to practice what they have learned and increase their experience, Only the entertainment channel is the place where they can learn new things.

But it seems that not everyone can understand Fan Cheng's painstaking efforts.

On this day, as usual, during the filming of the new "All Assembled", Zhu Zhize, who had been in charge of the short drama of Zhize in the formation, came over and said, "Third uncle, can I talk to you?" ”

"Talk? Good! Fan Cheng found an empty room.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Fan Cheng asked after sitting down.

"Third uncle, why do we still have to do this now, we have to shoot once every half a month on average, I used to participate in the show in Shudu, and I haven't booked a plane to come back to shoot the show, so I took a train for two days and one night to come back...... Zhu Zhize said.

"Really? That's hard work, but it's your agent's problem, they didn't get a plane. Fan Cheng said.

"I think, if I don't get a plane, will I not be able to participate next time?" Zhu Zhize asked.

"Don't participate? No, unless it's really not possible at all, you have to participate, by the way, you said that when you shoot later, how about treating you as a joke? Fan Cheng asked.

"No, third uncle, I'm serious, it's a waste of time to run back and forth like this! I spent more than three days just on the road this week, just to come back to shoot these shows, it's really unnecessary, right......?" asked Zhu Zhize.

Fan Cheng stared at Zhu Zhize and asked, "Are you serious?" So what do you say? Programs must be filmed, and you can only learn through these programs in the station. ”

"In that case, can you give us, I mean we have a salary increase for the entire troupe, we are always in a hurry and really tired, and we don't earn much."

Fan Cheng understood, it turned out that this was Zhu Zhize's main purpose.

"No, there is no money in the station to raise your salary now." Fan Cheng simply refused.

"How come there is no money, hasn't our acting fee risen a lot!?" Zhu Zhize asked.

Fan Cheng was a little angry.

"Didn't your agent explain it to you? Your acting fee, the stage and the troupe will definitely take a cut, any company is like this, what's so strange about this. ”

"However, it was normal for us to have no notice fee when we didn't have a notice before, but now that there is a notice, we won't have a penny, and we are now receiving the same ordinary salary as before......

"The company has too many places to spend money, such as training for you, and a lot of transportation expenses like yours, although the other TV station will pay, but we sometimes have to make up the difference in order to be in a hurry." Fan Cheng explained.

"But ......"

"Don't do it, you have to come back to participate in the show, this can't be compromised, instead of thinking about this, it's better to communicate with your agent, and remember to catch a plane next time." Fan Cheng said.

With that, he got up and left the room.

For the rest of the filming work that day, Zhu Zhize was a little out of shape, but Fan Cheng seemed to be understandable, after all, he had just completely rejected the proposal, and it was normal for him to lose his soul and be a little depressed, at least he completed the shooting in accordance with the script in a more formal manner.

Because the time is becoming more and more inseparable, so now every time you shoot, almost all the shooting crew needs to spend two or three days in a row to catch up with the shooting content for two to three weeks, or even longer, so on the second day, the training was originally going to continue, but unexpectedly, something went wrong.

After waiting for two hours, Zhu Zhize did not come.

Dozens of people from the entire filming crew waited at the scene, and the troupe's assigned agent made hundreds of phone calls, but he didn't answer the phone or read the news, as if he had completely disappeared.

The air on the entire shooting site seemed to be about to freeze.
