Chapter 25: Porters
A clock can go back in a circle, but it's not yesterday.
Back five years ago, it seemed that he was no longer "himself", Lin Dong sat in the co-pilot's seat, staring blankly at the palms of his hands that he had just finished beating people.
Heroes save beauty and punish wicked people, the "before" Lin Dong has never done it, but now he has done it easily and easily. Is this a consequence of the butterfly effect, or is it a latent nature? Lin Dong is very confused about his unfamiliar self, and he doesn't know what kind of changes he will bring to himself in the known but unknown future.
Xiao Mengwu IU followed her good friend Liu Renna into the nanny car, and was timidly looking at Lin Dong in the back seat at this time. It seems that he was frightened by the brutal image of the scene just now. I asked my friend next to me, "Is OPPA angry?" I haven't made a sound since I drove the car. ”
The female demon Renna was a little embarrassed. It seems a bit too much to use someone else as a shield after only knowing each other for one day. was also a little unsure of Lin Dong's thoughts, "It should be, probably not so stingy, right?" ”
The two talked in a whisper, but Soya, who was in the back seat, could also hear it. Soya pretended to whisper, and took the opportunity to put his arm around the shoulder of the idol iu, leaned on her ear and said, "Lin Dong oppa was trained by Uncle Zhong Guo until he was tired and lay down, and he was not angry. It's just that Director Cui will definitely not give up. ”
Soya made a key speech, but he didn't forget to rub the oil, and directly took IU's little hand, as a brain-dead fan, Soya is happy today.
"Ernie, what should I do in the future? Can I change my booking to our LONE company? "IU cares about Liu Renna very much.
"I want to go to you too, but when I debuted, I signed a new contract, and it still has four years to expire. Now the company will definitely not give me resources, find a job on your own, and see if there is a program. Liu Renna comforted herself, but she didn't have a score in her heart.
Kim Jong Kook, the former king of the kimchi national song industry, can only hang half-dead after setting up his own studio. How could Liu Renna, a little shrimp, find a job so easily?
As long as Chinese celebrities become popular, most of them set up their own studios and take over the work themselves. That's because China's market is large, the number of top stars is also small, and job opportunities are all found on their own.
But kimchi country is different, where the palm is big, the market is so little. The star-making ability is also pervertedly powerful, and new stars are popping out one by one. With a strong network of connections, Kimchi Country Brokerage Company solves the work problems of celebrities, and only then does it have the confidence to open a squeezing share such as 9:1.
The LONE company, where Xiao IU is located, is a subsidiary of SK Telecom, the largest in Kimchi Country, and it also has Melon, the largest music source download platform in Kimchi Country, which is so strong that it is a mess. But in terms of artists, it's weak, so Xiaomengwu IU became the first sister of the company not long after she first joined Loen, and she has always complained about too much work. I can't feel Liu Renna's pain at all.
Soya, a rookie singer who is also hitting the street, has a deep understanding, "Rena Oni, in fact, you can try to be a radio DJ." Your voice is so good, and you're familiar with the world of songs. It's just that DJs don't earn much. ”
I have to say that Jin Soya's little pot friend's brain is flexible, and it is estimated that he has inherited the strong genes of the Jin family.
"Okay, when I get back to Seoul, I'll find someone to ask where to recruit DJs." If there is no way out, she will split a road and come out, and Liu Renna, who has been a trainee for eleven years, has no shortage of stubborn bull temper.
Three women in one play, the underage little IU, the newly adult Soya, the mature Liu Renna, and the women of the three ages can still make a fuss together. After making up his mind in a few words, he put the harassment incident behind him.
Or maybe in that colorful circle, this kind of thing is commonplace. In short, the reactions of several girls were calmer than Lin Dong, who was in a daze. I have to sigh that celebrities really have big hearts.
At this time, they were chatting and chatting, mainly around Lin Dong's "Chinese Kung Fu".
――
An hour's drive passed in the blink of an eye, and the woman's scene had already reached the ground before it had made enough noise.
"Lin Dong, the Music Copyright Association has arrived. Are you going to pick you up later? Sun Hengnan sent Lin Dong to his destination first.
"Thank you, I don't know how much time it will take, I'll just take a taxi back by myself when I'm done."
This is Lin Dong's itinerary that has been planned for a long time, and he has already mentioned it when he was smoking with Sun Hengnan in the morning.
Lin Dong didn't say hello, so he got out of the car and went to Longtan alone, leaving the three women looking at each other.
"Does he really want to be a composer? It's really hard to associate a physical person like a fitness trainer and VJ with a composer. At least Uncle Zhong Guo's muscular man can't write songs. "Soya hasn't seen Lin Dong's works, and he is still in the gym and is trained by Kim Jong Kook to be a dog.
"I guess it's serious. Speaking of which, "Good Day" is really well written. It's a pity that I don't have a part in it. "The situation has reversed, yesterday it was Lin Dong's heart that dripped, and now it is Liu Renna's turn, and the company will definitely not buy or record songs for her anymore.
"Ernie, should we go to dinner first?" High school girl Xiao IU is still growing her body. The world is big, and the food is the biggest.
"Let's go, don't care about Lin Dong's oppa. Let's go eat barbecue, Hyunnam oppa hurry up and drive. "Soya, a brainless fan, how can he be hungry for a little IU.

The Music Copyright Society sounds like a leather bag company that can be solved in a few offices. But in fact, it is quite a bumble, and the entire building of several floors actually belongs to this association. There are a lot of people who handle business, and some projects still need to queue up.
After a round of registration information, retrieval and search, re-entry and other procedures, Lin Dong, a half-hanger, a layman, came to the last level.
Little Boss Passerby A: "Mr. Lin Dong, you are the first time to become the author of the association, do you need me to explain the constitution of the association?" ”
"I'd better go back and see for myself. Let's talk about the main thing. Lin Dong looked at the thick stack of materials in the hand of passer-by A, and gave up very wisely.
"It's okay, if you don't understand anything, you can contact our association at any time. First of all, your three songs have been preliminarily registered, but it will take a period of publicity before you can officially complete the copyright registration process. ”
"That's fine, understandable." Now this society has lost a certificate, and the trivial things of sesame mung beans have to be publicized. It's good to register a copyright without requiring it to be published in a newspaper.
"In addition, we also provide overseas copyright registration services, does Mr. Lin Dong need it?"
"Isn't it just here? Why do I need to register overseas? Lin Dong was confused.
"Theoretically, the copyright is in your hands, but in the event of a cross-border infringement incident, it is not easy to solve. For example, the United States protects copyright until 70 years after the author's death, and the famous English song "Happy Birthday to You" can now provide $2 million in royalties to the author's descendants every year. ”
Lin Dongcai didn't care about the nonsense 70 years after his death, he just heard the royalties of 2 million US dollars, and his heart was hot, the copyright of the Mi Guoyan is Niu X, but he really didn't remember a few English songs, cheating father.
"Then first register China, Britain, the United States, France, and Russia, and occupy all the permanent members of the Security Council first." Lin Dong is very atmospheric, what is the next step to preemptively register all the United Nations?
"Okay." Passerby A picked up the computer and crackled. "Mr. Lin Dong, this is the handling fee we need to handle on our behalf, please take a look."
Lin Dong was dumbfounded, no wonder the service attitude was so good, it turned out that everything was a business, "Ahem, the permanent members of the Council should put it aside for now, and just register the copyright of Little Japan." ”
Lin Dong has not received his salary once, and he will have to pay the recuperation fee of Halla Hospital on Jeju Island next month, so he really has no money left.
I had to take down the copyright of Little Japan, after all, Japanese and Korean both belong to the adhesive language system, and the adaptation is the simplest. You don't need to change the arrangement or anything, so it's so trouble-free. In the eyes of musicians in Kimchi Country, Little Japan is the kind of "people who are stupid and come quickly with money".
"Okay. Mr. Lin Dong's registration information is a work visa, and he is engaged in the fitness coach industry, so he should not be familiar with a record company or singer. Need our association to get in touch with you? ”
"No, I'll do it myself." Lin Dong is really scared, the service is really thoughtful, but it's all money, this association is blacker than a black intermediary, if you really hand it over to them, I don't know where the song will be sold.
The little boss Passerby A has been squatting in the Copyright Society for many years, and the quality of the songs can probably be clearly distinguished, and Lin Dong's three songs are very good. Therefore, passerby A is very hot, and if he can really contribute to this, the benefits are absolutely indispensable.
"Mr. Lin Dong, our association is familiar with all record companies and singers in Kimchi Country, and we can definitely choose the best solution for you. Even if it's a gem in the world of kimchi national songs, BoA, the first sister who is currently active in Japan, we can connect you with it. ”
"No, is there anything else? Let's talk about the rest. "The black-hearted intermediary brags that it has broken through the sky, and Lin Dong is too lazy to pay attention to him.
"We can really provide you with the best record company, the most suitable singer......" Passerby A is still unwilling to give up.
However, Lin Dong had already gotten up and pretended to leave.
Mr. Lin stayed. One more thing. ”
"Say it."
"After the song is made, it's best to register it with the association. In addition, do you collect your royalties yourself, or do our association manage them on your behalf? "Passerby A tried several times to pull business but failed, so he had to get back to business.
"What's the difference?" Lin Dong, as a layman, didn't know anything about it.
"You are Chinese, and you may not know about the song royalties of Kimchi Country. Anyone who uses your song for commercial purposes must pay royalties, such as karaoke, TV station songs, other people's covers of your songs for commercial performances, etc., everything must be taxed. Our association can collect it on your behalf, of course, a certain percentage of the handling fee is required. ”
"Then let you manage these royalties, is there anything else?" This has to let Lin Dong manage the royalties by himself, and he can't manage it, can he go to every KTV to collect money?
Passerby A showed a bright smile, and he didn't know why. "There's nothing else to do, I wish Mr. Lin Dong's songs a big hit."
Lin Dong felt weird, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to give up. In this way, after the temporary coach and the temporary VJ, he became a great temporary composer, or "porter" in the music industry.
