"So, Cao Sang, it's rare for you to be so sensible, so tell me, why should the film I made bankrupt be used for free? Just because you're shooting your place? But the shooting funds are all from me! ”
"Even if I have a lot of affection for your country, I can't do that, right? If I do that, even if I don't care, what will other people think? ”
After listening to Sada Masashi's complaints, Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, and then persuaded: "Mr. Sada, those people are indeed too much, but if you trust me, you might as well listen to my opinion?" ”
"Of course!" Masashi Sada, nodded, "Please, I'll definitely listen carefully." ”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Mr. Sada, I understand the truth of what you said, however, with all due respect, the reasons you said are useless at this time.
I'm not excusing some people in my country, I'm really not, after all, I personally think it's too much.
But the real problem is that CCTV has almost done that documentary, and when you made the documentary before, you also reserved some film here.
In other words, if I'm right, they've already added parts of your documentary.
This time I came to you, just to make a look and posture, of course it is good to be able to negotiate, but if it can't be negotiated, then I won't talk about it.
As you know, there is no relevant patent law in our country, so the things you shoot in my country are strictly not protected by copyright and can be quoted by anyone.
Therefore, the actions of those people on CCTV are not strictly speaking.
On the contrary, you are Japanese, and in view of the previous problems of our two countries, if you insist on the copyright issue, it is very likely that it will be put on the platform, and it will evolve into a national sentiment issue, and it will even be said to be a kind of arrogance and plunder.
If this happens, the fame that you have built up in our country will be completely over, and it will be impossible for you to continue performing in our country in the future.
In your current situation, if you lose the Chinese market, it will be a big blow to you.
After all, you invested so much here in the early stage, if you lose this market in my country because of a stubbornness that has no hope of winning, is it too much to gain and lose?
So let me see, anyway, it's useless if you oppose it or not, it's better to be generous, directly agree with CCTV, authorize them, and agree to them to use the material of your documentary for free.
That way, you can at least earn a good name.
With this good reputation, it will be much smoother for you to perform in China, such as holding concerts and releasing records.
This is what is called, the east is not bright, the west is bright.
You see, the same thing, with different methods, the result is different.
Suppose you insist on dealing with uniform royalties, and in the end you will end up with a thankless task and nothing to gain.
But if you are generous, don't want money, and agree that CCTV can use your materials for free, you can gain our favor.
As long as we have this kind of goodwill, we can spread the word to all of you.
For example, we can publicize your high style and bright festival, obviously smashing pots and selling iron and losing more than 2 billion yen to make a film, but still let my country's CCTV use it for free, which is a noble sentiment in my country's view.
With this kind of moral high ground, as long as you pay attention to your words and deeds in our country, you can basically walk freely.
After that, if a domestic company packages you and makes you a friendly link between China and Japan, you can use this identity to release albums, hold concerts, and use these methods to make money. ”
Sada Masashi frowned: "You mean to say, let me be generous, and then use this to deepen your domestic market?" Make money by releasing records and holding concerts? ”
"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
Sada Masashi shook his head: "Cao Sang, since you are a friend, I am not afraid to tell you the truth."
That's right, I held a concert here, and the response was good, it was often full, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
But even so, I don't actually make much money when I do a concert.
Because I hold concerts here, the money I earn is fixed, and the ticket revenue is not shared with me.
In other words, if I hold a concert with you, I can only get some of the concert fee, but I am not eligible to participate in the ticket fee.
It seems that the entrance fee is all state-owned, which means this.
As for releasing records, it's the same, I can't participate in the share, they will only give me a little bonus, which is not as much as I can make by holding a concert.
That's why I didn't continue to expand my acting career with you.
Really, really, you are too closed here, no matter how famous I am with you, I can't make much money. ”
"Understood, understood." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "My country has its own national conditions here, and you can't share the money with those cooperative units, it's too normal."
In fact, it is already very good that people can give you so many bonuses, and this still depends on your status as an international friend who is friendly to China.
If you change your country and sing the same song, I am afraid that the money you make at this time is not as good as a fraction of yours. ”
Masashi Satta nodded and sighed, "So, although your country is very large and has a large population, but, at least for now, it is difficult for me to make money here.
I really love this land, I am very curious about you here, and I have a very good impression of you, so I came here.
Of course, I don't deny that when I first came here, I also wanted to make a wave of money here before anyone else came.
But I really didn't expect that not only did I not make any money here, but I was in debt.
Seriously, I'm a little discouraged right now about whether or not to continue with you. ”
Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled lightly and did not speak, but he agreed very much in his heart.
At least, if the other party is willing to say so, it really treats him as a friend.
Because what the other party said was obviously heartfelt.
Also, although the article that Cao Zhiqiang read in his previous life was full of praise for Sada Masashi (of course, Cao Zhiqiang was not impressed by the name Masaki Sada, but he was very impressed by this person), but if you think about it, you know that it is not profitable to be early.
Masashi Sada's father was a veteran of the Japanese invasion of China, and it is said that he was still a scout, even if he later repented, there was no reason to be so concerned about Huaxia.
But after the reform and opening up, so many Japanese stars who are more friendly to China are the first Japanese singer to enter China and become the first Japanese singer to hold a concert in China.
If there is no conspiracy in this, it is for profit.
Before, Cao Zhiqiang also doubted that the reason why Masashi Satta made the documentary "Yangtze River" was to take the opportunity to obtain Chinese intelligence.
But the thought that Masashi Sada was in debt for this and would not pay it off until he was in his sixties, he dispelled this idea.
Also, if it's really a spy, how can there be such a thing.
If spies were so unlucky, no one would be happy to be a spy.
So since it's not a spy, it's for profit.
You must know that when Masashi Sada entered China, it was a period when the country began to reform and open up.
Before that, foreigners knew very little about Huaxia and thought that Huaxia was a mysterious place.
This is just like the curiosity of people in later generations about North Korea, because North Korea was also very closed at that time.
In addition, China is already a billion people at this time, the largest population in the world, which is a huge market for many people.
Masashi Sada's father is a China expert, and Masashi Sada, influenced by his father, wants to come to China to try new things, make a name for himself in China, and make a fortune by the way, which is a normal operation.
The idea was not wrong, but he came too soon.
Eighty-five years ago, although the domestic entertainment industry was a blue ocean, it was also very conservative.
The simplest example is that there is no professional star-making agency in China at this time, and the remuneration for artists is quite low.
As Masaki Sada said, at this time in China, whether you hold a concert or release a record, there is nothing to say, only the organizer will give you a little bonus.
This amount of money is already very good for many domestic people, but for Masashi Sada, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
So during this period, a Japanese person holding a concert in China and releasing a record basically has no way to make money, because there will be no relevant institutions to give you a huge amount of remuneration.
Even if Masaki Sada was very famous in China at this time, the most famous thing was basically his songs, not his own name.
For example, Jiang Kun's cross talk before was about the cover song "Manly Declaration", but when it talked about the originality of this song, it only said that it was a Japanese singer, and the name of Masashi Sada was not mentioned at all.
And in fact, the name Masashi Sada, except for people like Yu Deli, there are very few people who can really remember it.
The reason is not that Masashi Sada is Japanese, but that he is subject to too many constraints at home, and he can't maintain his popularity at home, and no one praises him.
Artists are all about popularity, and this era is the same.
If you can't always brush up on your presence in front of the people, everyone will soon forget about you, no matter how good the songs you sing.
Unless you have a high sense of presence and have a strong fan, then it is possible to be remembered by most people.
But Masashi Sada, it's obvious that he can't do that.
However, if you want to say that Masashi Sada shines for love, and only came to China to make movies and hold concerts for the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship, it is nonsense at all.
If Masashi Sada really loves China so much, why can't he learn Chinese well?
That's right, Cao Zhiqiang has long discovered that Sada Masashi's Chinese is particularly bad, and he really only has a few simple greetings.
And as we all know, if a person has a good impression of another country, then learning the other person's language is the foundation of the foundation.
It's like the young people who used to chase Hallyu stars in China in later generations, aren't they all rushing to learn Korean?
In the same way, the same is true of Masashi Sada.
He was actually just an opportunist who wanted to come to China to pan for gold, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and he used the wrong method, and he ended up in debt.
To tell the truth, if the other party is not a spy, just to make money, make a documentary.
Even if you come to China to remake some of the once famous TV series in Neon Country, it's fine.
For example, the Northern Spring that is being screened in neon, you change it, find someone to shoot it in China, go to Hainan Island in the south, make a "Southern Spring", and then get back the neon broadcast, and you will definitely make money.
But then again, if the other party wasn't so unlucky and downcast, he wouldn't have let himself pick it up.
"Mr. Sada." Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "I have a general understanding of your situation, in fact, I can't do anything about the copyright issue of your documentary, I believe that it is useless for anyone to come, after all, the national situation is like this."
But if you just want to make money, to pay off your debts early, and to get closer to the next level and make lots and lots of money, I have a solution. ”
"Oh?" As soon as Masashi Sada heard this, he immediately stopped sleepy, "What way?" ”
"We both cooperate." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Let's cooperate to open a joint venture audio-visual company, and then under the banner of Sino-Japanese exchanges, we will specialize in transnational entertainment business." ”
"This ......" Masashi Sada, blinking, confused, "What do you say?" ”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's very simple, I am the general manager of a publishing house, even if this publishing house has not yet opened, but it is almost there."
It doesn't matter, the important thing is that when I am in charge of a publishing house, it is equivalent to mastering the distribution channels of books and audio-visual products in China.
And then, that's what I thought.
I first opened a wholly-owned artist planning agency in the name of a publishing house.
You're in Japan, and you're also running an artist economic company.
And then we two companies work together to build a partnership.
To put it simply, it means that two of our artist economic companies belonging to different countries have signed an international cooperation agreement.
The content of the agreement can be discussed in detail, to the effect, it is to promote each other's artists in their own countries.
In this way, their songs like Yamaguchi Momoe and Miyuki Nakajima in your country can be licensed to us, and then we will release each other's songs on the mainland.
If it is handed over to us for distribution, we can share with them, that is, the profit here will be shared with the other party in a certain percentage, so that the other party can get a lot of profit.
In the same way, as a principle of reciprocity, we will also release a batch of songs by Chinese singers, hand them over to your agency, and distribute them in Japan.
In other words, our company distributes the works of your Japanese artists.
And your company, publishing the works of our Chinese artists, carries out a win-win cooperation model with each other.
The situation is akin to a fair and equitable reciprocal trade.
In this way, you are no longer a simple singer artist, but a company that operates artists, whether you launch Japanese artists to distribute in our country, or Chinese artists distribute in Japan through you, you can earn an intermediary fee.
I believe that as the exchanges between you and me become more and more frequent, the interaction between the literary and artistic circles will become more and more frequent.
And we were the first to do this business.
Believe me, even if there will be latecomers in the future, as the first company to do this multinational artist business, we will definitely reap the maximum profits.
We produce artists as well as porters for artists.
Anyway, whether it's in or out, you can make a profit, so why not? ”
