Chapter 402: Conditional Exchange
"Of course. Ye Zi smiled: "No matter whether the negotiation is successful or not, I will remember your feelings." β
"Okay, brother, thank you for being considerate of my brother." Li Zhifei nodded and smiled: "Then I won't hide it, I'll tell you all the ideas of the organizing committee, and you can think about it yourself." Later, you can tell me your thoughts carefully, and brother, I will help you work with you. β
Li Zhifei is a smart person, as soon as he heard the quotation of Ye Zi's work in Xiangjiang, as long as he was sure that this matter was true, he knew that this matter would definitely not be discussed today. The gap between these two prices is too big, even if Ye Zi retreats a little because of the mainland of China, it is enough to retreat between 20,000 and 30,000. But with such a price, it is impossible for the organizing committee to agree to it.
In the past, in order to solicit works, the organizing committee could pay a price of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan before and after, but it was basically impossible to offer a price higher than 10,000 yuan for a work from mainland China. If Ye Zi is a famous composer like Professor Nalan, the price may rise a little more, but 15,000 to 20,000 will be over.
But Ye Zi is not, then it is impossible!
In mainland China, the current price of a work generally fluctuates below 35,000 yuan, why does the organizing committee give Ye Zi more expenses?
It's not good to say.
Do you want the face of the Zhengfu department?
On the other hand, it is impossible for Ye Zi to continue to retreat here.
If Ye Zi didn't sign a contract with Hua Xing, or if this song was not selected by the Yun Province International Tourism Festival, it would be up to him to decide. Don't say 10,000 yuan for a song, as long as he is willing, there is nothing wrong with a 1,000 yuan song, you can give it away for free. Just like he promised the night singers who participated in the "Lighthouse Project" to write songs for them, which is similar to a support action of the nature of support, then there is no problem at all. And even this "Lighthouse Project", Ye Zi also reported it to Hua Xing, and Hua Xing agreed, which is bound by the creation contract signed by both parties.
But the theme song of the tourism festival is not good.
The impact of such a large-scale event is placed there. The creation of the theme song must have an offer that matches its influence.
If Ye Zi's offer is too low, where will Huaxing Records be placed? People pay for real money, and they just mess around with you? Hua Xing definitely doesn't do it. Unless Ye Zi can not let Hua Xing know the inside story of the transaction, but ...... Is this possible?
There are never real secrets in the entertainment industry. It just depends on whether you have the heart to dig in. The transaction between Ye Zi and the organizing committee is absolutely impossible to hide from those who have a heart.
Ye Zi and Huaxing Records are in a cooperative relationship, and the two parties are bound by a contract. Like this, the contract for writing songs for the tourism festival and buying and selling songs must be handed over to Huaxing for the record. The transaction price is too low, which is a kind of humiliation and disrespect for Huaxing. It will definitely affect the cooperation between Ye Zi and Hua Xing. In such a critical period, Ye Zi would rather offend the Organizing Committee of the Tourism Festival, or even offend the upper-level leaders of Yun Province, and it is impossible to violate the contract with Hua Xing.
So this matter, whether it is the Organizing Committee of the Tourism Festival or Ye Zi here, one is the face of Zhengfu, and the other is the constraint of the contract, and neither of them can make too much concessions.
Then there must be something else.
"Brother, the highest amount of money here from the organizing committee is only 10,000 yuan, and it is at this price. They also have one more string attached. Li Zhifei had successfully taken himself out, so there was nothing to hide, and he immediately poured out the ideas of the organizing committee.
"They hope that when the theme album of the tourism festival is published, this song "South of the Clouds" can be co-signed with you."
"Co-signed?" Ye Zi thought about it for a while, and knew the plan of the organizing committee: "Do you want to co-sign for 10,000 yuan?" Brother Li, you're not kidding me, are you? β
"Besides, why are they?"
Li Zhifei smiled bitterly: "Brother, I didn't make this matter, I don't know if you ask me." β
"All I know is that is the condition. Either $5,000 has no conditions attached, or $10,000 is co-signed. β
"Dude. If you want me to say, it is more cost-effective to co-sign with 10,000 yuan, at least the organizing committee promised that your name will be in the front. β
Li Zhifei persuaded from his own point of view.
Co-authorship is actually quite common. At many large-scale galas or performances, many songs are written and composed by multiple people. Many of these cases fall under this kind of "joint signature".
The songwriter finally wrote a good song, and it was finally adopted by the party or event, but he encountered a request for "joint signature", do you say wronged? Why did I rack my brains and work so hard to write a work because of the request of such and such a person or such and such an organization, and I was connected with someone I didn't know? In case this song really goes viral. How are the benefits distributed?
It's all confusing!
However, this kind of "joint signature" is not greedy. The party who signed the name asks for the name, and generally does not have too many requirements in terms of interests, and the original author gains and gives the name to the signing party.
If you're unlucky and meet the kind of greedy guy who wants fame and fortune, then the creator will be really unlucky. Just give you a little money to send it away, and then your work will be directly taken by them as their own, and the songwriter will be directly "gunman", and there is no place to reason.
Sue?
In an environment like Huaxia, if you fight this kind of copyright lawsuit with the zhengfu department, let alone whether you can win or not, people will ignore you.
Even if you do have a lawsuit, you can still have strong evidence. Can you win? People can easily pass the test with a word of "reference", or they can get out without a "coincidence" name. Didn't I see Aunt Qiong fight a plagiarism lawsuit with conclusive evidence for several years, and she was tired and half dead? Celebrities like Aunt Joan are like this, and if you are a small person, you will have no strength.
Moreover, it is more difficult to prove things in music creation, and it is even more troublesome to start a lawsuit. Even if you win, the influence of the song has already been played, and you can't get back the glory and benefits that should belong to you.
So in such a situation, Ye Zi must not be able to directly fight with the organizing committee, and must think of a suitable way.
After thinking for a while, Ye Zi said slowly.
"Brother Li, I'll contact Hua Xing first to see if there is any way to accommodate me, and we'll continue to talk later."
"By the way, please ask Brother Li to let the switchboard open an international long-distance call, and I will settle the long-distance money myself."
"Brother, what about scolding me?" Li Zhifei said with a smile, and then called the switchboard and opened the international long-distance in this room: "Okay, you call first, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." β
Li Zhifei left the room very consciously.
Ye Zi shook his head, picked up the phone and dialed.
Half an hour later, the two men resumed their negotiations.
In the past half an hour just now, Ye Zi contacted Teacher Sun Yun and Brother Keny respectively and touched their thoughts with them. Brother Keny was very pleased with Ye Zi's attitude, and he also recognized the solution he envisioned. Brother Keny made it clear that Huaxing Records would be Ye Zi's solid backing.
At this moment, Ye Zi was very confident in his heart.
"Brother Li, Huaxing is very unhappy." Ye Zi frowned slightly: "Director Ke Yufan hopes that the organizing committee can show sincerity, and the minimum offer of 30,000 yuan can only be agreed." β
"It can't be." Li Zhifei flatly refused: "Brother, you don't need to mention this condition, the organizing committee will not be able to agree to you." The organizing committee had a talk with Professor Nalan at the beginning, and if the professor's work was selected, they were willing to give the highest price of 20,000 yuan. β
"Brother, to put it mildly, your current popularity and status can't be compared with Professor Nalan, and it is impossible for the organizing committee to agree to this price."
"That's the case...... Ye Zi's brows furrowed even tighter: "If it's less than 30,000 yuan, then ...... That's a bit tricky. β
Li Zhifei smiled: "Okay, brother, you don't have to pretend in front of my brother and me, right?" For so long now, it is impossible for you to only think about this one condition, if there is any workaround, you can just say it and listen to it, and I will help you work together as a staff officer. β
For a person like Li Zhifei, Ye Zi's deliberate pretentiousness can certainly be seen clearly. Ye Zi also hoped that he could see it clearly, after all, there were some things that would have to be contacted by him in the future.
"Brother Li, then I'll just say it, and I want to trouble you to explain it to the organizing committee." Ye Zi also smiled.
Li Zhifei nodded: "You say, I'll listen." But man, there are some things I still say earlier. Li Zhifei stood up sternly: "I will definitely help you bring it, but if the above does not agree, then it is not for me to interfere, brother of this point, don't count on me." β
"I'll definitely help, though."
"Thank you, Brother Li, it's great if you can help." Ye Zi immediately climbed down the pole.
Li Zhifei was a little depressed.
I just said politely just now, but Ye Zi took it seriously? He shouldn't be so naΓ―ve, right?
This...... What's all this about?
Ye Zi didn't care about this, and said: "Brother Li, if the organizing committee wants to co-sign, it's not completely impossible. I also have a condition here, as long as the organizing committee agrees to implement it, we can consider agreeing to this joint signature. β
"Really?" Li Zhifei was surprised.
In his opinion, this should be the most difficult condition for Ye Zi to accept, how can it ...... Suddenly there was a turnaround?
"Of course it's true." Ye Zi smiled slightly: "Brother Li, this is just a conditional exchange, is it worth making such a fuss about you?" Besides, my conditions ...... It's not that easy to do. (To be continued.) )
