Chapter 60 Copyright

(Today's collection has not risen much, only 4, and the total is 266.) It seems that it will take another week to rise to 300. οΌ‰

(The treble continues to codeword.) Recently, my hand speed seems to be a little faster, and I used to be able to write about 3,000 words a day, but now I can write nearly 4,000 words. When will it be able to break through the 5,000 mark? The treble is looking forward to it. οΌ‰

"Yo, look at these two, they haven't gotten married yet, and they've already started to sing and sing with their wives?" Ye Ying suddenly said this.

Yin Lihua was immediately embarrassed.

Ye Zi took Yin Lihua's little hand and said with a hippie smile: "Sister, you know that you bully us all day long." One day, you will also find me a brother-in-law, and let us bully him too. ”

"You dare!" Ye Ying's ferocity was revealed: "Only I can bully him!" Be careful with what you say, boy. ”

"Huh? Already there? Where is our brother-in-law now? Introduce me to another day. Ye Zi continued to gag.

Ye Ying raised her right hand and whispered: "Look for a fight!" ”

An imperceptible flush crept up her cheeks.

――――――――――

Su Lai looked at them laughing and didn't speak, her heart kept thinking about what Ye Zi had just said. She is really interested in lyrics.

Seeing a few people stop, Su Lai immediately asked, "Ye Zi, can you sing the melody to me now?" ”

Ye Zi was stunned, this person who looked at him who had been talking slowly was really anxious to do things.

"Sister Sulai, don't be in such a hurry, right? I'm not going to rush you. Ye Zi said with a smile.

Su Lai smiled slightly: "I, as soon as I have something in my heart, I want to finish it quickly, and I'm used to it." ”

"That's right, okay then." Ye Zi smiled: "Actually, you should have heard this song." ”

Su Lai didn't speak again, just looked at Ye Zi quietly.

"There's a Cantonese song called "Late Autumn", have you heard it?"

Sura opened her mouth, sighed silently, and nodded.

"That's the song." Ye Zi said: "This song is sung in Cantonese, I would like to ask you to fill in a Chinese version. ”

"Late Autumn? I know the song. Chen Junjia sings, it's good! Ye Ying suddenly screamed, and the eldest sister was a little unconscious.

"yes." Ye Zi said with a smile: "It's just because it's so good, so I want to make a Chinese version of "Late Autumn" out, and the accompaniment has already begun to be done." ”

"Then you will sing this Chinese version tomorrow!" Ye Ying heard that the wind was rain.

Ye Zi shook his head with a smile: "Sister, I haven't done this accompaniment yet, and Sister Su Lai hasn't filled in the lyrics, what should I sing?" You can't go up and sing the Cantonese version, can you? Then I might as well sing my own "The Sound of the Waves". ”

"That's right. "The Sound of the Waves" is also very good, so it's still "The Sound of the Waves". ”

Ye Ying's surprise made the other three people feel amused.

Su Lai frowned lightly and asked, "I like this song very much, and there is no problem with filling in the lyrics." However・・・・・・ you just sang directly, will there be any trouble? I've heard ・・・・・・"

"Sister Sulai, you want to ask about the copyright of the song, right?" Ye Zi knew what Su Lai was worried about.

"Yes, it's a copyright issue."

"Don't worry, Sister Sulai." Of course, Ye Zi will not fall on the copyright: "My teacher and the songwriter Xu Jianqiang are very good friends, we have purchased the copyright of this song from Teacher Xu, and we can refill the Chinese lyrics without any problems." ”

"That's right," Su Lai breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I don't have any problems." Give me a week, and I'll try to get the first draft out as quickly as possible. ”

Ye Zi was overjoyed: "Thank you so much!" Sister Sulai, you've helped me a lot!! ”

Su Lai was not good at expressing strong emotions and smiled slightly.

――――――――――

As soon as Ye Ying mentioned the name Su Lai just now, Ye Zi suddenly remembered it. In the previous life, the Chinese version of "Late Autumn" was the lyrics written by this Sulai senpai.

Su Lai is Ye Zi's senior sister in the same school and department, Ye Zi's friend in his previous life, and he is also one of the few lyric writers that Ye Zi really admires from the heart. If it weren't for the fact that Su Lai was thinner in college, and her chubby appearance after graduation had changed too much, Ye Zi would have recognized her a long time ago.

Su Lai - Ye Zi's previous life Chinese music scene lyricist!

Her works, such as "Late Autumn", "Red Dragonfly in the Sunset", "Look at the Blue Sky", "Sad Rain", etc., are all popular lyrics masterpieces, and have become popular one after another music stars!

Her character and personality are even more admirable!

As a lyricist who has been famous for a long time, she doesn't care about her lofty status in the pop music world, and still adheres to her original ideals and works silently in middle school, cultivating generations of young students!

As a class teacher, she is the best teacher in the eyes of the students, strict but not lacking in warmth. After decades of teaching, Sulai has barely lost her temper with her students!

As a friend, she is also the most trusted confidant in the hearts of her friends.

In her previous life, one of her college classmates wrote a blog post after an alumni reunion, titled: Lyricists who don't know the office location of the Music Association! It is clear from this title that Su Lai's indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune!

She is a person who is truly obsessed with her ideals and uncompromising! In that era when the moral bottom line is getting lower and lower, what she has done is especially commendable!

In her previous life, Ye Zi once jokingly said that Su Lai did not belong to this filthy and filthy world, she was an elf who inadvertently fell to the mortal dust.

Of course, Ye Zi remembered the lyrics of the Chinese version of "Late Autumn". He remembered it word for word. But Su Lai's work, Ye Zi will never encroach on it!

In the circle of deceit and intrigue in the music world in the previous life, Su Lai was the only pure land in Ye Zi's heart!

Su Lai is the real goddess of the Chinese music scene in Ye Zi's heart!

Whether in a past life or in this life!!

"Sister Sulai, you also mentioned copyright just now. That's right, let's give the copyright of this lyrics now. "Ye Zi struck while the iron was hot.

Su Lai smiled and nodded, "Okay." Once the lyrics are written, I'll issue you a licensing agreement. Three years, is that enough? ”

Ye Zi shook his head: "Sister Sulai, you still forgot one thing, right?" ”

Su Lai looked at Ye Zi in confusion.

"The cost of licensing your work, my good sister!" Ye Zi was a little speechless.

Su Lai was stunned, and then, extremely lightly, said: "Oh, money, you just look at it." ”

"That's ・・・・・・ a hundred dollars, do you think it's okay?" Ye Zi deliberately teased her. However, Ye Zi also knew that Su Lai would never worry about himself in terms of money.

Sure enough, Su Lai didn't hesitate at all: "Yes, a hundred yuan is not a lot." ”

"Sister Sulai, it's not okay for you to ・・・・・・ like this!" Ye Zi shook his head and sighed, putting away his smile: "Just now, I was joking with you, Sister Su Lai must not mind." ”

"From your answer just now, I guess that if someone comes to you to write a word, it will often give you some money. Maybe fifty, maybe a hundred, and that's the end of the cost of licensing the lyrics. But that's not right, Sister Sulai. ”

Ye Zi's tone was a little heavy.

"I know you don't weigh the money, so it doesn't matter how much it costs. However, although money is not the only one, it is also a measure of the quality of a work. ”

"Sister Sulai, you shouldn't sell the work you worked so hard to write so cheaply!"

Su Lai opened her mouth to speak, but Ye Zi stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Sister Sulai, listen to me first."

"I know your personality is like that, and I probably won't be able to convince you. However, I don't care what others do, in my place, the high quality is the high price! ”

Ye Zi said sincerely: "Sister Sulai, I have no doubt about your talent!" So the starting price of our cooperation is 1,000 yuan a song. The higher the quality, the higher the price I give. ”

"Sister Sulai, even if it is a few thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan, as long as your work reaches this quality, I am willing to pay the same price as it!!"

"Hiss" Ye Ying was beside Su Lai, and when she heard this, she gasped.

Regarding the price that Ye Zi offered to Su Lai, Yin Lihua also sighed softly.

Although Su Lai has an indifferent temperament and has never valued money, when he heard Ye Zi's words, the shock in his heart was also extremely strong.

It's an attitude!

An attitude of genuine and visceral respect for creators!!

"This ・・・・・・" Su Lai didn't know what to say, "This is ・・・・・・ too much, right?" ”

Ye Zi nodded lightly: "Sister Sulai, your talent is worth this price!" ”

"Also, after the work comes out, along with the publication of records, radio and television broadcasts, stage performances, etc., there should have been a share of your royalty income in it."

"It's just that ・・・・・・ domestic affairs, you also know that the lag in this area is not a day or two, and there is no authority to calculate the benefits in this regard."

Ye Zi spread out his hands, made a helpless gesture, and continued.

"So I want to do that. Every year, a certain percentage of the overall income generated by the work will be determined, and this proportion can be negotiated as a share for you and other collaborators in the future. ”

"In Europe and the United States, to write a widely circulated masterpiece, the songwriter can rely on royalties to eat for a lifetime! In China, there has never been such a precedent before, so let's start with our cooperation this time!! ”

"Sister Sulai, when you sign the contract, it seems that you are going to hire a lawyer to accompany you."

Ye Zi ended the conversation with a smile.

――――――――――

The Chinese music scene in later generations gave a very high evaluation to Ye Zi's discussion with Su Lai today, as well as the signing of the two ten days later.

"On the History of Modern Chinese Music" is described as follows.

・・・・・・ September 1990, the first "Copyright Law" after the founding of the People's Republic of China passed the review. Concepts such as copyright, authorship, copyright, royalties, etc., have gradually entered people's attention. However, due to some long-standing stereotypes, the implementation of the Copyright Law in China did not go smoothly at first.

The signing of Ye Zi and Su Lai in early October 1991 for the Chinese version of "Late Autumn" is not only an epoch-making initiative in the Chinese pop music scene, but also represents an extremely important progress in the Chinese music scene as a whole. At the same time, this signing also provides a much-needed and long-awaited practical example for the further implementation and promotion of the Copyright Law in China.

The signing of this agreement has greatly eliminated some differences and differences between the Chinese music scene and the world music scene, and accelerated the progress of the Chinese music scene to integrate into the world music scene. After that, the Chinese music scene began to gradually and truly enter the copyright era.

Countless practitioners, including composers, lyricists, singers, musicians, and more, have benefited for life!
