Chapter 438 Establishment

In the early morning, the Lu family was eating breakfast.

The eldest princess of the Lu family was chattering non-stop, even louder than Brother Liao outside the terrace.

In early October, Guan Zhengfei published an article in the newspaper, told his relatives and friends, and officially announced the wedding date.

He applied for registration last month, and this Saturday is the day of their wedding.

The little girl took this very seriously and explained the entire wedding details in a very clear and concise manner.

Should magnolias or roses be used for the wedding? What kind of dress should be used? What kind of jewelry should be used?

Lu Dongjie looked at her funny, "It's not like you're getting married, why are you in such a hurry?"

Miss Lu raised her head and purred naturally, "I have a hand in making suggestions and preparations."

Lu Dongjie asked the girl, "If you don't go and cause damage, people will laugh."

Lu Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him and suddenly said in an old-fashioned manner: "Brother Fei is so old. If he doesn't get a wife, no one will want him anymore."

Lu Dongjie burst into laughter. Guan Zhengfei was so pitiful that even his cousin felt sorry for him.

People in Hong Kong can register for marriage when they reach the age of 16. Guan Zhengfei is 26 years old this year and should really start a family.

Mother Lu was about to say something, but Father Lu next to her stopped her with a look.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to hint that Lu Dongjie was not young yet and would have to express himself.

But Father Lu believed that the time had not come yet, and was afraid that it would be counterproductive, so he opposed her idea.

Lu Dongjie didn't pay attention to the two of them. While eating breakfast, he was thinking about how to help.

Preparing for a wedding is such a hectic thing, and I don't know how the couple has arranged it.

Xu Ruoqi is from a Catholic family. According to the wishes of her parents, she wanted to hold a Western-style wedding in the church first.

Guan Zhengfei grew up in a traditional Chinese family, so naturally he followed Chinese rituals in the evening and entertained guests with wine.

This wedding that combined Chinese and Western elements was very interesting, but it was probably enough for the two of them to be busy for a while.

There are still a few days left, so there is not enough time.

After the family had breakfast, Lu Dongjie was responsible for sending Lu Xiaomei to school.

He then changed direction and continued driving towards Central, entering an office building in Hong Lok Building.

When Lu Dongjie walked into the conference room, there were not many people sitting inside, but they were all relatively famous figures in the Hong Kong music scene.

An industry meeting is being held here today, and all participants are representatives of certain figures.

After Lu Dongjie said hello to several familiar colleagues, he found a seat and sat down quietly.

The Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association, sponsored by the British Performing Rights Society, recently announced its establishment in a low-key manner.

This is an organization dedicated to safeguarding and enforcing the rights and interests of Hong Kong composers, lyricists, music publishers, and other music copyright holders.

The Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association is a government-registered non-profit organization.

Any composer or lyricist whose musical works are used for commercial purposes can apply to become a member as long as they entrust the association with the rights and interests of their musical works to be executed on their behalf.

Any institution or group must obtain the association's consent before it can publicly perform musical works controlled by the association.

The association will issue licenses according to the fees of broadcasters or musicians.

The music copyright tax earned on a regular basis, after deducting the actual administrative expenses, will be distributed to each member in proportion to the performance of each work.

After the establishment of the Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association, it will completely replace the business of the British Performance Rights Society (PSR) in Hong Kong.

By the end of 1976, the company had issued more than 700 licenses to various industries in Hong Kong.

Including TV stations, radio stations, theaters, hotels, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, factories and other public places that broadcast music.

Thereafter, such licenses will be issued by the Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association.

The Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association, in addition to enforcing the copyright of musical works commissioned by its members, also controls and enforces the music copyright of 46 national composers' organizations and 26 branches of the Commonwealth in Hong Kong.

Through this international agreement, the association virtually owns the copyrights of more than three million musical works around the world, and can earn royalties from overseas performances collected by its members.

The association also plans to allocate part of the annual royalties income to establish scholarships to promote and promote local composition, music education and fund the development of modern music.

This organization, which sounds very professional, actually doesn’t even have a formal office building.

But its appearance is a landmark event, representing that the Hong Kong music scene has officially entered the right track of development.

Lu Dongjie waited for a long time. The important person did not arrive, but he still waited patiently.

Since he is a composer and lyricist, he is also the owner of a record company.

The person with the most stake in the situation is undoubtedly him.

After another half-hour, amidst warm applause, a group of colorful people walked out of the podium. They were the leadership team of the association.

The Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association has a committee responsible for its jurisdiction, with eight to twelve members.

Half of them are appointed by the British Performance Society (PSR), and the remaining half are elected by members to serve as the first committee members.

The members appointed by (PSR) include Bai Yili, Ma Qin, Banner, John, Witt and John Steward, executive director of the Australian Music Performance Copyright Association.

The elected committee members include four people: Ji Shiduobao, Lin Lepui, Ji Dawei and Huang Zhan.

These people are all well-known composers in Hong Kong. They are relatively authoritative, but it is difficult to say whether they can effectively perform their duties.

Huang Zhan worked hard for the establishment of the Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association, and now he has finally obtained an official position.

Lu Dongjie sat here and listened to their introductions and speeches, and the whole morning passed.

After the meeting, they didn't care about the food, so Lu Dongjie had to go home and eat by himself at noon.

I lay down at home for two hours at noon. In the afternoon I had to put on my suit and leather shoes again and go out again.

There is a police recruitment campaign in Kowloon City today, and this kind of activity cannot be without his presence.

Just because he couldn't put down this activity at all, because the football field just downstairs from his house was his territory.

If you don't go down, people will come up to invite you.

Why do people fear being famous while pigs fear being strong? Lu Dongjie finally feels it now.

Today it's the Rotary Club, tomorrow it's the Lions Club, and the day after tomorrow there's a welfare club. I post to him whenever I have anything to do.

Some invitation posts cannot be pushed, otherwise you may offend someone, and I will give you some shoes to wear.

If he has time, he might as well ask a girl out to have a romantic relationship instead of sitting around with a group of middle-aged and elderly people.
