Chapter Forty-Nine: The Confrontation (Part II)
The contract is long.
The terms are complex.
There are a lot of things that Zhang Sheng actually doesn't understand.
For example, Lin Xia's obligations to "That Midsummer".
But where I can read it, it's all very well written.
Such as......
Lin Xia's rights and remuneration for "That Midsummer".
Whether it is complex or simple, in terms of Zhang Sheng's keen feeling, this contract is very formal and extremely professional.
In the 608 box of VIKI Music Restaurant, Zhang Sheng looked at the contract word by word.
During this time, the waiter served the food.
The dishes were plentiful.
Basically, it is the most expensive and unique dish in this music restaurant.
Sister Hong and Lin Xia chatted while eating, and most of the chatting content was Sister Hong's memories of her college life and the outstanding boys in college life.
During the chat, many of the "classmates" that Sister Hong said were very famous actors and singers in this era.
She said a lot of interesting things about these people, and also talked about the various troubles and entanglements of these people during their time as newcomers......
Her words really brought people closer, and Lin Xia felt more and more like a neighbor's big sister, which made people both comfortable and close.
At first, Zhang Panpan was a retinue role, but after chatting, Zhang Panpan also joined in.
Sister Hong's senses for her seem to be very good again, chatting with her about her future plans, and unconsciously chatting about "Shining Girl" When she failed to advance, her face was also annoyed, and she also complained about the reality of shady scenes and the entertainment industry......
Zhang Panpan's heart was suddenly moved, and a little bit of his previous emotional guilt appeared.
Sister Hong, it turned out that she had always been thinking about her, but Sister Hong was also under great pressure, seeing that she had not been enlightened, and she had to use cold words to remind herself.
After such emotions appeared for a long time, she began to feel very warm in her heart, and she had to dig out her heart and lungs even more with Sister Hong.
Time passed little by little, and the three of them chatted very happily and speculatively, as if the whole afternoon had passed so simply......
Zhang Sheng......
It was like a speck of dust with no sense of existence, ignored by everyone in the corner, and occasionally a ray of sunlight shone on his body, but it could not shine any color.
An hour later.
Zhang Sheng put down the contract.
As Zhang Sheng put down the contract, Lin Xia, who was smiling and blooming like a flower, also stopped chatting and subconsciously looked at Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Panpan was extremely uncomfortable, and when he looked at Zhang Sheng, he always felt that this guy was redundant.
Yes......
He's just superfluous!
He wasn't supposed to be here, his presence seemed to make all pleasant topics gray, not only bleak but full of layers of cracks.
Sister Hong looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile: "Classmate, have you finished reading?" ”
"I've read it, but I can't understand it." Zhang Sheng put down the contract and nodded with a smile.
"It's normal to not understand, the contract itself is an official term, and you are not a major in this area, classmate, please believe us, we [Shengshi Entertainment] are big companies, everyone signs contracts with us are like this, we have also passed the test of the market, there can be no traps or problems......" Sister Hong explained seriously with a smile.
"Not being able to understand is a problem in itself." Zhang Sheng didn't smile, nor did he have any other expressions, just looked at Sister Hong calmly.
"Oh? I don't understand what you're talking about......" Sister Hong put away her smile.
She suddenly felt a sense of murder in the air, and that sense of murder was a potential provocation.
This kind of atmosphere instantly made her lose some kind of verbal control.
This young man is very old and spicy!
"I don't know what the market test is, but I think a really benign contract, it needs to be straightforward, and it is not like these clauses here, full of the possibility of various disputes......" Zhang Sheng took the contract and pointed to a piece of content: "What copyright did [Shengshi Entertainment] buy for "Midsummer That Year"? Is it film and television copyright, is it comic copyright? Or adaptation rights? ”
"Of course, it's film and television copyrights." Sister Hong replied calmly.
"Then why, there is no film and television copyright marked, only copyright? Can I understand that it is the full copyright of "That Midsummer"? Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"This is the company's formal contract, classmate Zhang, you are a little nitpicky, we have nothing to buy other copyrights except for film and television copyrights......" Sister Hong shook her head.
"Also, the authorization here, why didn't it say how long the authorization lasted? I can understand that 300,000 yuan bought the permanent license of "That Summer", and then, all the subsequent adaptations of "That Summer" in the future have to ask the company? Even, there is a vague clause here, in this clause, can I understand that Lin Xia's follow-up works, you all have the right to sign a contract for priority permanent authorization, you don't agree, Lin Xia can't sign contracts with other companies? Zhang Sheng continued to squint his eyes and stared at Sister Hong seriously.
"Student Zhang, you can't understand it this way, this contract is originally meant to be an authorization contract, there are not so many traps, many writers, including Mr. Chen Hong's previous "Red Lantern", we also signed this contract, if there is a contract dispute, we would have already filed a lawsuit......" Sister Hong shook her head: "Mr. Lin, although I can understand that you can find an assistant to come and read the contract, I hope that you can find a lawyer who understands our company and is official...... If that's the case, it's really hard for our cooperation to continue......"
"Yes, Xia Xia, Zhang Sheng...... Zhang Sheng: Isn't this messing around? Zhang Sheng, we have a good chat here, what are you doing here? This is not the place for you! Zhang Panpan was also anxious, when he saw Zhang Sheng so fastidious, he was very unhappy, and he couldn't wait to ask someone to blast Zhang Sheng out.
Isn't this man messing around and hindering success?
In case Lin Xia made Sister Hong unhappy because of Zhang Sheng, wouldn't she miss this great opportunity in vain?
I missed this opportunity, and I don't know where to cry in the future!
Lin Xia didn't say anything, just silently looked at the contract in a daze.
Zhang Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Panpan and Sister Hong: "According to my understanding, your company has fought a lawsuit, but your company's legal department is very powerful, and the contract is even more powerful, most people can't beat your company, even if it is Mr. Chen Hong, it is estimated that he has lost, at the same time, I boldly guess that your company's public relations department is even more powerful, and those lost relationships, your company can shut up the bitter master, and at the same time, even if ordinary people search on the Internet, they can't find any traces on the Internet......"
"Hehe, a young man who has never been out of society, sometimes blindly feels that he sees the essence of society very clearly...... This is an era of law and reasoning, everything we do is honest and open, at least at the level of our company, it is not as dark as you think, and Mr. Lin is indeed very powerful, but in the writer's circle, Mr. Lin is just a newcomer, we read Mr. Lin's book, and feel that Mr. Lin needs us to come over to help make the IP of the book a good job, so I came to visit Mr. Lin in person with Panpan, we don't need to use messy contracts to deceive Mr. Lin......" Sister Hong continued to look at Zhang Sheng with a smile, Yu Guang turned Zhang Panpan again.
Although, her face has not changed, and she seems to occupy the dominant position of everything, but ......
Somehow......
Zhang Sheng's gaze was too bright and too sharp.
It's rare for her to see such a look!
Then, instinctively, I felt that my momentum was a little weaker.
Zhang Panpan nodded: "Zhang Sheng, you don't understand anything, you just listen quietly, or go out first, do you know what kind of impact your self-righteous words will have on Xia Xia's future!" Don't brush up on your presence here! ”
When Zhang Sheng faced the questioning, he didn't say anything more, just glanced at Zhang Panpan and Sister Hong, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
Lin Xia was silent.
In the box, the originally harmonious and pleasant atmosphere instantly became awkward.
After a long time, Lin Xia shook his head: "I'm sorry, Sister Hong, I don't sell copyrights!" ”
"Xia Xia, you're crazy, don't you know how much energy Sister Hong has behind her! It is no exaggeration to say that if Sister Hong wants to seal ......"
Zhang Panpan was even more anxious, she immediately stood up, her face flushed, and when she wanted to continue, she found a pain in her lower back.
She subconsciously turned her head, but saw an extremely cold gaze.
She was instantly creepy, like falling into an ice cave.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, don't make a decision too early, we have always been very sincere, the price of 300,000 is not suitable, I can apply for 400,000 with the company, the contract is not suitable, I can also apply for a change with the greatest sincerity, Mr. Lin, I appreciate you very much, and I also hope that you can join our [Shengshi Entertainment] family, whether we cooperate or not, I hope we can maintain a good contact, okay, then don't bother you first......"
"Okay." Lin Xia nodded and stood up: "Sister Hong, I will think about it seriously." ”
"Well, Mr. Lin, I'm a few years older than you, well, let me tell you a word of heart-to-heart, well, sometimes, our traffic is only temporary, we want to succeed to seize every opportunity, the company's project is our high-quality project, we have selected your book after layers of screening, the company does fancy your traffic, I also hope that you can seize the company's opportunity, what overseas copyright, what NC International Film and Television Copyright Department head, Lisenburg International Film Association Academy Awards invited guests, what three million to buy copyright, these, we all know it's fake, it's okay to deceive those netizens, but once it's exposed......"
She looked at Lin Xia earnestly and said these words sincerely.
Lin Xia didn't answer, but Zhang Sheng stood up and looked at her with a smile: "Sister Hong, why don't you try it and see if it can be exposed?" Sometimes, we all think that our cognition is right, but who knows if our cognition is right or wrong? I'm actually looking forward to you revealing the truth! ”
Sister Hong ignored Zhang Sheng, and even as if she hadn't heard Zhang Sheng's words, she left the music restaurant with Zhang Panpan with a smile.
The moment she got into the car, her smile turned cold.
She stared at Zhang Sheng through the window.
Zhang Sheng happened to be looking at her as well.
They met their eyes again, then turned their heads.
One expression was even colder.
A smile is brighter.
