Chapter 13 Looking for Me to Buy Copyrights?
Well? Looking for me?
Male?
"Yes, I'm Ding Hao, may I ask who you are?"
The man on the other end of the phone seemed to confirm Ding Hao's identity, and he had some confidence in speaking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I am Guo Xiuliang's agent, and I called to buy the copyright of the two songs "Days on College Road" and "Departure".
The man on the other end of the phone was in an office at this time, there were two people in the office, one was dressed fashionably, it should be Guo Xiuliang in the man's mouth, and the person on the phone was a little older, and he was nodding at Guo Xiuliang at this time.
Guo Xiuliang?
Who are they?
But since I'm here to buy the copyright, let's listen to the offer.
"Copyright is indeed negotiable, what price are you prepared to offer."
Ding Hao, who has had experience in his previous life, does not lack social experience like other college students, and his bargaining has long been skilled.
"The two songs were bought out for 20,000 yuan, and the money was paid off at one time." The agent was very proud to make an offer, and he believed that this price should be something that Ding Hao could not refuse.
"Buyout? Is it all copyrighted? Ding Hao smiled slightly, although he had expected this, it was still a little difficult to accept when he really faced it.
The agent was stunned.
"All copyrights, of course."
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Ding Hao chose to refuse without hesitation, although he was short of money, he was not going to sell his works like this. However, the transaction is not benevolent, so it is politely refused.
"What? You repeat! The agent seemed to have heard something incredible, and the whole person was leaning on the sofa, but he also sat up at this time. And Guo Xiuliang's expression of indifference was gone.
"I choose not to sell my work for the time being."
"Ding Hao, you may not know the price of the entire song industry, the price we put out is definitely the high price of the entire industry, you better think about it again." Although it was incredible, the agent patiently explained.
What is the price of the industry?
When he first heard the broker's offer, Ding Hao knew that the current market price was not much different from his previous life.
At present, the entire song market, the price of a word and the price of a song have default standards, as the lyricist and composer are unknown, at this time the quotation can be a few thousand yuan a song is very good, and this "few" is basically not more than "five", when they are a little famous, their works can basically hover between five thousand to eight thousand. Even those lyricists and composers who are at the top level of the entire industry have 12,000 works.
Therefore, the offer of Guo Xiuliang's agent is quite worthy of Ding Hao, for a young man who has just finished the college entrance examination, he can offer a song at a price of 10,000 yuan and put it in the entire industry, this is not considered bullying newcomers, after all, his Ding Hao's works have not been tested by the market, and they are pure 'Bai Ding'.
But Ding Hao still chose to refuse, there was no way, those lyricists and composers didn't know if their songs would be popular in the future, and they didn't know how much benefit these songs could generate.
But Ding Hao knows! "Departure" sung by Shuimu Nianhua, this song is one of Shuimu Nianhua's masterpieces, has won many awards, and is definitely one of the golden songs, the profit it can generate is at least one million yuan, and now it actually wants to buy out for 10,000 yuan? Unless Ding Hao's brain is pumping, he will not agree to this kind of deal.
As for the other song "The Days of Xueyuan Road", that is, the "Days of Beijing East Road" in the previous life, it is really the easiest song to adapt on campus, it can be said that it meets the needs of every graduating class, as long as the lyrics are changed slightly. The song was released in 2010, but even in 2016, it was adapted and reported by the media. For example, in the previous life, on May 17, 2016, there was a female student from the University of Technology who adapted the class song, which is "It means that the distance from C1 to Java is only 4 years, Mr. Huang Min of Kai Ge Deli, I love you ...... of the University of Technology"
Therefore, Ding Hao will not sell these two songs so cheaply!
"I'm sorry, I've thought about it very clearly, I won't sell either song."
"That's it, Ding Hao, we really like your song "Departure", how can you sell us the song?" The agent pondered for a moment and stated their true purpose. For "The Days of College Road", he and Guo Xiuliang are not very optimistic, it is too collegiate and very niche, but "Departure" is different, it is a very flavorful song.
"Or a buyout? Full Copyright? ”
"Of course, it's a buyout, so that you can get a lot of money at one performance, which is a very cost-effective thing for a high school student." The agent tried his best to bewitch.
"Huh."
Oh, this is the unspoken rule of the industry!
Bully newcomers! Ding Hao couldn't help but sneer.
I wasn't going to pay attention to it, but this time......
What does this mean when it comes to a song buyout?
There are many copyrights of a song, including the right of publication, the right of authorship, the right of adaptation, the right of performance, etc., many of which can generate huge benefits, if Ding Hao chooses to sell all the copyrights of the song, then he is not even qualified to sign in the column of lyricist and composer.
This practice is quite bullying, and it is estimated that the agent bullied Ding Hao just a high school student, and then did it.
"Ding Hao, I also came from when I was a student, and at this time, everyone had no jobs and was very short of money, so I bought out your work at a high price. We have come with great sincerity. The agent shouldn't have heard Ding Hao's sneer, and continued to advocate there.
"Huh."
Just keep performing.
Ding Hao lay down on the bed and listened to the other party's performance like this.
Ya, the pit came to my head, do you really think my brother is a little white? If I don't play you today, I'm ashamed of my experience in my previous life!
In his previous life, Ding Hao looked down on this kind of bullying newcomers, bullying them for not understanding all kinds of unspoken rules and signing unreasonable treaties.
"En, this ......" Ding Hao pretended to be very moved.
When the agent heard this, he was very happy, and made an OK gesture to Guo Xiuliang, and his back, which was a little tight, relaxed.
"Ding Hao, we also know that you have passed the art exam, as long as you pass the college entrance examination, you will be a Chinese opera student, I think you also want to work hard in the entertainment industry, this time we will make friends, and we will give you a boost when the time comes."
"This ...... I don't really understand. Ding Hao pretended to be very pure.
Hehe, there are people in the entertainment industry, but a high school student?
Hehe, if Ding Hao believes this kind of thing, then it is really tooyong.
"Well, you'll understand later, and I won't lie to you anyway. You just need to know that our deal is definitely only good for you, and there is no harm in it! The agent worked hard to reassure Ding Hao.
"Well, what exactly is the agreement, why don't you tell me about it first?" Ding Hao turned over on the bed and found a pillow to put under his head to make himself more comfortable.
In the office, the agent saw Ding Hao asking directly about the agreement, and immediately took a few pieces of paper on the coffee table next to him.
Success is in sight!
"The contract must be more detailed, and we all have limited time, so I'll tell you about it."
"Don't, let's talk about it in detail, this ...... I want to know more, you know. Ding Hao said something ambiguous. He didn't know if this routine was okay, he still listened to people brag when he was drinking with an assistant director once.
"Well, understand, understand, it's all from this age. I'll just elaborate on that. ”
The broker did understand.
High school students, just adults, parents have also talked a lot of anti-fraud knowledge, when encountering community door-to-door inspection, you have to look at ID cards, work permits; When you encounter a text message to send money, ignore it; When you come across a contract to sign, check it carefully...... I don't have any social experience, and I have an instinctive sense of defensiveness against external affairs.
"Well, I'll read the agreement and explain it one by one. You are Party B, we are Party A. Party B authorizes Party A to remake the authorized work through digital compilation, reproduction, editing and other means, and then ...... it through the Internet, wireless application communication protocol or interactive voice query system.
"Just now is the main content, and below is the obligations and rights of Party A, that is, ours. Article 1 ......"
"There is also the rights and obligations of Party B, that is, the ...... you have to fulfill"
It took ten minutes for the broker to explain the contract to be signed, in fact, there is no need for this, how can this be said on the phone, it is all about a meeting time, and then the other party looks at the contract by himself, and the contract is also some terms and conditions that everyone has negotiated.
But this time it's because of his employer, Guo Xiuliang, who has a very good feeling for the song "Departure", and wants to bully the newcomer, so he wants to buy out all the copyrights. That's why it's so hard to waste.
"This, I'm sorry, the mobile phone signal was not good just now, I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again......"
Ding Hao turned over and changed to a more comfortable position.
In the office, the agent, who had just taken a sip of water, almost squirted it out.
"You!"
Forget it, for the sake of profit!
"Well, I'll talk about it again. It's that you have to ...... the work."
Another eight minutes. This time, the agent didn't go into much detail, so he talked about it briefly.
In the bedroom, Ding Hao pinched his nose and held back a smile.
"Well, what are my obligations?"
"Didn't I say that just now?" The broker is also a little impatient.
Anyone who reads a contract twice is a little impatient, and it is not a beautiful prose poem.
"That...... That one...... I want to know a little bit clearer...... You know. Ding Hao sacrificed a big killing weapon.
"Alas...... This time, you can hear clearly, Party B's obligations have five points, the first point is ...... Point 2......"
Three minutes passed again.
"This ......" Ding Hao took down his mobile phone and looked at the time on it, this phone call has been made for almost half an hour, it is almost lunch, and there are three unread text messages in the mobile phone, I don't know who it is, let's have a lore early!
"This ...... I have one last question, and I'll end it when I'm done. ”
In the office, the agent also breathed a sigh of relief, finally the last problem, this high school novice is also troublesome to deal with!
"Okay, you can say it!"
"Well, let me ask, do you know the story of a smart man who said he knew, and a stupid man who said he didn't know?"
Ding Hao calmly threw out the question.
"I don't know."
The agent replied decisively.
What a story is not a story, I didn't tell you a story.
At this time, a voice came from the phone-
"Toot ......"
The agent looked at the phone inexplicably, why did he hang up the phone just after asking the question?
"Brother Liu, did that Ding Hao agree?" Guo Xiuliang saw that the agent had ended the call, and hurriedly asked, for that song, he really liked it.
"I guess I agreed, he said he asked a question and it was over, and I still haven't figured out what it means."
"What's the problem?"
"It should be ......," the agent thought for a moment.
"Do you know the story of a smart man who says he knows, and a stupid guy who says he doesn't know?"
"What story? I don't know! What's the problem? "Guo Xiuliang is confused, story? Brother Liu told a story?
"Yes, I don't know what he's asking, and I'm about to continue asking, but who knows he's hanging up again! I'll call him again! ”
The agent took the phone, flipped through the call logs, and was about to call again.
Suddenly, the two looked at each other at the same time-
"Damn! Tricked! ”
"Tricked!"
Two almost simultaneous voices came out of both mouths......
――――――――――――――――
In a residential area in Beijing.
Ding Hao was lying comfortably on the bed, just playing a person who wanted to cheat him at a low price, and his mood could be described as very happy.
In his previous life, he was pitted again and again when he was a fledgling, all kinds of suppression, all kinds of oppression, and this time he finally took revenge!
As for Guo Xiuliang?
Uh, sorry, buddy really doesn't know!
"By the way, there are three text messages!"
Ding Hao suddenly remembered the three unread text messages he had just seen, and he didn't know what it was.
"Huh? No, I seem to have forgotten something! ”
Before reading the text message, Ding Hao patted his head violently, as if he remembered something, and felt that he had not done anything today.
