003 [Ask for money everywhere]
Rumble!
The summer weather changes as soon as possible, and the sun is still shining brightly in the morning. It suddenly thunderstorms after lunch.
"Wow, it's finally raining. It's so hot a few days ago!" Lin Yuner stood under the awning in the craft shop, stretched out her hand to pick up the falling raindrops, and a pure smile as childlike on her face.
"well!"
Two sighs came from the side, saying, "I am worried about the coolness of the charcoal." For students like Lin Yuner, it is a good thing to cool down naturally, but Wang Yue and the owner of the craft shop were in a different mood. As soon as the rain rained, tourists returned to the hotel one after another, and their business could not be done at all.
The store owner is better. At least a dozen tourists shelter from the rain in the store and will buy something more or less. Wang Yue has no income and only hopes that the heavy rain will end soon.
Lin Yuner turned her head and looked at Wang Yue, and asked in confusion: "What are you sighing in such a cool weather?"
"I don't know the taste of sorrow, but I want to be carefree." Wang Yue sighed. How great would it be if he was reborn in a wealthy family? Who doesn't like the days of eating, drinking and having fun every day?
Lin Yuner said angrily: "What does it mean that a young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow? It's like you are old."
Wang Yue was too lazy to talk nonsense with this girl. He is now devoted to making money and has no idea about picking up girls for the time being.
Seeing that Wang Yue didn't say anything, Lin Yuner asked: "Hey, are you short of money?"
"Who in this world thinks that the money is too much?" Wang Yue said angrily.
Lin Yuner thought for a while and said, "If you are in a hurry to use money, I can introduce you to someone who is the music production director of Hanjiang Records."
"Selling songs?" Wang Yue became a little interested.
Lin Yuner nodded and said, "Yes, I think your song "You, the Deskmate" is quite nice, and the record company should be interested."
Wang Yue looked at Lin Yuner curiously and thought to himself: Could it be that this girl is a rich second generation? She actually knows the senior executive of a record company.
Lin Yuner turned to him, spread her hands and said, "Give me the lyrics and music of "You, Deskmate" and help you take it over and see."
Wang Yue is not a fool, so how could he give him lyrics and music? He smiled and said, "I'd better go and talk to you myself."
Lin Yuner was smart and quickly understood and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid that I would plagiarize and use your works?"
Wang Yue shrugged and said, "That's not accurate."
Lin Yuner didn't explain, so she borrowed two umbrellas from the shop owner, pulled Wang Yue and ran out: "Come with me!"
Insadong is a tourist pedestrian street, and the car cannot drive in. The two of them walked in the rain for more than ten minutes before finally getting a taxi outside.
"Where are you going?" Wang Yue asked curiously.
Because the rain was too heavy, half of Lin Yuner's shoulders were wet. She wiped the water stains on her arm and said, "Song Xie."
The full name of "Photo Music Association" is called "Chinese Musicians and Music Copyright Association", and the official abbreviation is called "Photo Music Association". The place where the two are going is the Seoul Branch of the China Music Association.
After running the taxi for nearly half an hour, he finally arrived at the building of the Audio Association. Lin Yuner seemed to be familiar with this place and took Wang Yue directly to the office on the sixth floor and asked, "Did you bring your ID card?"
"Take it." Wang Yue took out his ID card.
Everything costs money in this broken place, so it costs 4 yuan to copy two ID cards. Wang Yue paid another 20 yuan for the material fee before he received a data form to fill in his personal information. When he finally registered a member of the Audio Association, he actually had to pay a registration fee of 100 yuan.
Not only that, Wang Yue will have to pay membership fees every year in the future. If the membership fees are owed for more than three months, the Audio Association will automatically cancel his membership.
It is worth mentioning that the membership fees of each member of the Music Association are different and are collected according to the proportion of personal royalty income. Those superstars in the music industry and top music creators pay millions of membership fees each year, while ordinary members only have dozens of dollars.
Of course, the membership fee is not paid in vain. For example, Wang Yue's song "You, the Deskmate", in addition to selling it to a record company, he must pay a royalty if there are radio stations, TV programs, or commercial stores in the future.
These scattered royalties are calculated and collected by the Audio Association, and some management fees are intercepted and transferred to member or company accounts.
After Wang Yue figured out the situation, he instantly felt the professionalization of China's entertainment industry in this time and space - there is no need to worry about being pirated and infringed.
In fact, Wang Yue thought it was too simple. Where there was light, there was shadow. Although China here cracked down on piracy, where could that thing be banned? Any city sells pirated products.
If it is just a small fight, no one will care about it if it is not reported. Only those pirated organizations with large scale will the national copyright department take serious action. If the circumstances are extremely serious, you can be sentenced to no wife... No, life imprisonment.
Everything has two sides. The stricter the legal provisions, the more people will take advantage of the legal loopholes. Once you accidentally sign a contract with loopholes, then you will be dead. You can't win the lawsuit at all and you can only be slaughtered. Even if you have any reason, there is no place to talk about it.
After Wang Yue registered as a member of the Music Association, the rest was to register the copyright of the song "You, My Deskmate".
The staff is very serious in doing things and input each section of the music score into the computer one by one. The Music Association has a large number of internal music libraries for comparison. As long as there is a suspected plagiarism, the software will immediately call the police and record the creator's bad information. (If the work is faked and registered first, then you can only provide evidence to a lawyer to sue. After obtaining the court's judgment, the Music Association will change the copyright information of the work)
"Hello sir, your work "You, Deskmate" has been successfully entered. Please pay a copyright registration fee of 100 yuan." The staff member said to Wang Yue with a smile on his face.
Damn, do you still have to pay?
Wang Yue had no choice but to take out a hundred-dollar bill. He had seen this broken place. It was absolutely money first and he had to spend money on anything!
After everything was done, the staff started to promote other businesses and handed Wang Yue a leaflet and said: "Sir, if you encounter copyright disputes in the future, you can contact Jinyun Law Firm. Jinyun Law Firm is a cooperative institution of our Seoul Branch of the China Music Association. Its business quality is extremely excellent and is good at handling copyrights of various literary and artistic works..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, don't say anything, there is no need for the time being." Wang Yue put away the flyer from the firm, too lazy to listen to the other party's random talk.
When the two left the Audio Association building, the heavy rain had stopped, and the sky cleared and the sun even rose again.
Lin Yuner jumped and walked beside Wang Yue, and said with a smile: "It's time to believe me this time, right?"
"Thank you," Wang Yue thanked, "If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't know where the gate of the Music Association will open."
"A small matter," Lin Yuner gave him a vaccination, "I am only responsible for recommending your songs. As for whether the record company is used, I can't guarantee this."
Wang Yue expressed his understanding. He had been in the music industry for two years in his previous life and knew how difficult it was to sell songs.
