Chapter 66: Dinner Invitation
Next up was the Los Angeles City Police Department, and in response to Xiao Yang's allegations of improper law enforcement, racial discrimination, and a biased investigative strategy in the Jackson case, Roman Carr said in an interview with reporters: "According to the investigation by the Department of Internal Affairs, the two officers who were accused of fully complying with the Constitution, state law, and the relevant regulations within the police department in the course of law enforcement, and only because Mr. Xiao refused to produce valid vehicle registration information and showed strong aggression that he had to be handcuffed according to standard procedures, This is also out of a sense of self-protection and to protect the innocent people around them from harm, in view of this, I am sure that they are all blameless good policemen, and at the same time, I am very sorry for Mr. Xiao's vexatiousness! ”
Roman Carr's statement is justified and well-founded, not only stating the position of the police department, but also indirectly explaining the origin of the humiliated photos of Xiao Yang published in USA Today, and at the same time putting a big hat of arrogance and lawlessness on him, trying to push him into the opposite side of law and morality.

However, in the context of the Rodney King case and the shadow of the '92 Los Angeles riots directly triggered by it, his defense is so pale, not to mention that he is targeting a hero who has just saved the city, so what awaits him and the Los Angeles police next is destined to be the verbal criticism of major media.
Because of this, Xiao Yang didn't bother to respond to the remarks of the deputy chief police inspector who took the initiative to jump out to send his face, but when he heard the joke, he changed the channel again, wanting to listen to music to pass the boredom on the way, but after listening to half of the country music, a listener called the live broadcast room and named the song "Dawn" that he played on the night of the earthquake.
To Xiao Yang's own surprise, stained with the light of the earthquake, the piano piece he improvised was inexplicably popular, and the reason for this was that in addition to its majestic, impassioned melody and positive, longing for dawn and hope The meaning is easy to resonate with people after the disaster, but also because the song itself is a very good work, so representatives of several major record companies will take the initiative to contact his lawyer and guardian, wanting to spend money to buy the copyright of "Dawn Overture", rearrange the music, Fill in the lyrics and find a professional singer to sing, which is also a fancy to his current fame and influence.
In this regard, Xiao Yang's reply is that the right of production and distribution can be discussed, and the right of public performance (the singer pays the copyright owner to obtain the right to perform in public and make profit from the work) and the right of public display (for radio playback and bar music, whenever the work is played in public, the copyright owner must be paid) depends on the situation, and the right of derivative works (refers to the right to adapt the work into a musical or movie interlude, and the cover is not considered a derivative work, but royalties are also required) are not negotiable. It must be in his own hands - although he made it clear in a television interview that the piece was not his original, under the US Copyright Act of 1976, as long as no one else can prove that the work was played or registered in public before him, then the copyright to the piece is rightfully his.
The reason why the copyright of the work is divided into several important parts, Xiao Yang has his own considerations, firstly, he does not look down on the quotation of tens of thousands of yuan given by the record company, because once the copyright is sold, the filthy royalty income such as singer singing, radio on-demand and so on will all belong to the record company, and secondly, it is out of the evil taste in his heart, just like the original intention of playing it at the scene of the kidnapping case, Xiao Yang wants to see Hans Kilmer and the "Onslaught" after being changed by himself And what kind of performance will it be.
This kind of professional negotiation involving copyright issues is beyond the scope of Lin Yuanhang's ability, so the matter has been unresolved, just waiting for Xiao Yang's economic man to be in place, and sometimes things are so coincidental, as soon as I think of the economic person, Judy's call came in.
After Xiao Yang answered the phone and said hello to each other, Judy told him that her broker, Joe Vanisillo, had reported his specific requirements and contact information to the department head, and that the CAA was interested in his commercial representation and would send someone to contact his lawyer in the near future.
After accepting Xiao Yang's thanks, Judy asked him: "Is there any arrangement tonight, how about coming to my house for dinner, there are a few friends who want to get to know you." ”
Xiao Yang was looking forward to this day, and immediately agreed: "Judy has an appointment, which cannot be shirked no matter what." ”
After making an appointment with her to visit, Xiao Yang threw his phone into the storage compartment in front of the gear lever, and was about to get back on the road when someone called in and looked at the number, it was Adrias Schneider, an entertainment reporter for NBC TV.
Without asking, Xiao Yang could also guess the other party's intention to bypass his lawyer and guardian and call him directly, although this approach was not very regular, but for the sake of the previous cooperation between the two parties, he still connected the phone, "I'm Xiao." ”
Schneider greeted him in the tone of a close friend: "Hey, it's me, Adrian (Adrias's nickname), I called your lawyer's office, I heard that you went to an emotion control class, are you feeling okay?" ”
"It couldn't be better." Xiao Yang couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the other party, so he used a more formal title to vaguely distance themselves from each other: "Is there anything to find me, Mr. Schneider?" ”
"Sounds like you're driving? Then I'll make a long story short, the last interview was very successful, and the audience responded well, so the station wants to invite you to the show again, and the content involved, you know, is the last time we talked about predicting the Oscar winners. After a slight pause, Schneider directly made an offer: "400,000, "Today's Show", is still hosted by Mr. Brokaw himself, how about it?" ”
"It sounds very sincere and attractive, but I'm sorry, Mr. Schneider, I have a lot of things on my business lately, so I don't plan to be on the show again for the time being." Xiao Yang knew very well that the other party's purpose was nothing more than to use his prophecy to suppress the mystery and fairness of Oscar, and take the opportunity to stab his direct competitor ABC.
