Chapter 107 Copyright is very important, but rights protection is difficult (5/10 monthly ticket)
"When do you plan to visit the capital?"
Dai Yuni, hands behind her back, walked side by side with Yang Qian on the asphalt road, and asked enthusiastically.
She has a good figure and really looks good in whatever clothes she wears. Before she officially went on stage, Dai Yuni didn't wear anything flashy. She wore a dark blue sweater, a pair of seemingly ordinary ripped jeans, and thick-soled shoes.
white shoes.
She seems ordinary, but she walks confidently with her long legs, and wears a big black super suit that can cover most of her face. Her temperament is just like that of a model, making the girls passing by frequently cast envious glances.
What Dai Yuni said about going to the capital was actually Qin Liang's suggestion just now, asking them to find time to visit the Moxing Music Headquarters in the capital.
Qin Liang was quite proud of the top-notch international recording studio they had spent huge sums of money to build. He didn't even mention how many albums he wanted to collaborate with Yang Qian and the others. He believed that Yang Qian and Dai Yuni would definitely be willing to put this in when they came to the capital to see it.
Let Moxing handle this business.
Because that top-notch recording studio with over a thousand square meters and four recording rooms is a temptation that no professional singer can resist!
"Wait until you finish the eighth-level junior high school exam! It should be no problem to go to the music festival or go to the capital to play after the exam. There is not much time left. In the next four months, you can concentrate on preparing for the eighth-level junior college exam and graduation.
paper."
Yang Qian is still thinking about Dai Yuni's studies.
Her eighth-level exam will be at the end of April, which means that they will not participate in the music festival before the end of April.
Fortunately, there aren't many music festivals before the end of April.
Regarding the arrangements for next year's music festival, Zhen Yunyan has already communicated with Yang Qian and Dai Yuni. Although they are not invited to every event, she can send them invitation letters as long as they are willing.
Moreover, if they come to the Cherry Music Festival again, they will not be on the rookie stage. Whether it is the Cherry Stage or the Music Stage, one of the two main stages will definitely be arranged for them.
The Cherry Music Festival in the new year will start at the end of March. Because of the eighth-level exam, they will give up participating in the first three music festivals. However, there is no problem with the music festival held in Shanghai at the end of May. Yang Qian and Dai Yuni are also tentatively scheduled.
Will attend this one.
Moxing Music has not yet fully finalized the time and location for other performances, and we will have to wait until their end-of-year schedule is released before we can continue to discuss them in detail.
"Four months, so long...Okay, then I can still practice singing while I'm preparing for the exam, right? I can't study every day. By then I'll have forgotten how to sing!"
Dai Yuni had a headache when she thought about studying, but she also knew that Yang Qian would pay more attention to her studies, so she followed him and didn't say she didn't want to take the eighth-level exam.
"You can practice singing, just combine work and rest! If there are new songs, I will also send them to you, so you can practice them by yourself in your free time."
Yang Qian smiled and nodded.
"You have new songs?"
Dai Yuni turned her head in surprise.
"I mean, how can there be any new songs in the future? The current ones are not that fast!"
It's a pity, Yang Qian shook his head.
The four new songs that arrived last night are mainly male songs, and there is even an early work that Yang Qian mentioned earlier that became Yue Ban Dong because of milk tea.
It's hard to say whether it is suitable for Dai Yuni to sing, but even if it is suitable, Yang Qian will not say it now.
He has to practice it himself first!
Last night, Dai Yuni didn't give him a chance to practice. She put on a coat and ran over to supervise him to take a bath and rest...
"Yes, but when it comes to new songs, I remembered one thing! I haven't paid you for the songs you wrote for me!"
Dai Yuni suddenly mentioned this matter.
"Why did you suddenly think of giving me money?"
Yang Qian scratched his head, not knowing how to answer her question.
It stands to reason that if Yang Qian writes songs for Dai Yuni to sing, Dai Yuni must pay Yang Qian. Dai Yuni has also said before that if Yang Qian writes songs for her, she will spend a lot of money to buy them.
But Yang Qian was not so rigid as to chase Dai Yuni for money, nor did he mention anything about authorizing her to sing.
It's not that he doesn't take it seriously. What Yang Qian wants is to wait until the company opens and everything is formalized, and then follow the normal procedures. There is no rush now.
But Dai Yuni had really forgotten that when she was with Yang Qian, she would be silly and happy every day, forgetting about Shu and forgetting about many things. With Yang Qian here, she was too lazy to use her head.
"Because you just asked Brother Qin, if we entrust Moxing to help us produce an album, who will own the copyright of the songs? I suddenly remembered that it seems that I haven't paid you the copyright fee for singing your songs!"
Dai Yuni is actually a person who attaches great importance to copyright. The songs she sang in her previous band were also written by others and she spent real money to buy them back.
"I asked Brother Qin about copyright because I have a hunch that the copyright of songs, especially good songs, will be very important in the future."
Yang Qian explained to Dai Yuni why he said that.
"Isn't it always important? How come Yueyin and Music Cloud are so crazy about grabbing those music copyrights? Even Moxing Music, because they have the copyrights of many songs, they cooperate with short video music, no
Play with Yueyin and Music Cloud.”
Dai Yuni does know a bit about this.
"Well, but what you mentioned is at the company level. I think the copyright of creators will also be taken seriously in the future."
"For example, if I can keep the copyright of the songs I write in my own hands, then I can get a licensing fee for any commercial performances or commercial applications in the future. It may not be too much, but the little things add up.
Very impressive.”
“It’s the same reason that the copyright protection of pictures and artistic fonts is very important now! But if the creator’s own copyright is sold to a big company at a bargain price, such as Mosing Music, the copyright authorization and transaction will have nothing to do with him.
, then the creator’s creative enthusiasm will be greatly affected.”
"In July this year, I saw the news that our National Copyright Center has established a copyright trading platform. This is a very good signal. In the future, many independent musicians can register their own music copyrights on it and then through
This platform eliminates the need for two people to sit down and talk about things like before when confirming rights, authorizing, and making transactions.”
Yang Qian has never forgotten the news he saw. As a reporter, he has sufficient news acumen, and he also knows that if this news is featured on the News Network, it is likely to have more policy support in the future.
"So awesome? Why didn't I know there was such a platform? Have you registered?"
Dai Yuni was amazed.
"Well, all my songs have copyright registered on it. It is directly connected to the National Copyright Administration, and official copyright documents will be sent to me."
Yang Qian nodded.
"Did you make any money?"
Dai Yuni blinked her big eyes, full of expectation like a curious baby.
"Well, that's not true."
Yang Qian looked embarrassed.
The main reason is that the policy protection is not perfect enough. For example, if others want to use Yang Qian's songs commercially, they can use them secretly without paying Yang Qian.
A popular song like "Goodbye" has been covered by countless people, and no one has paid Yang Qian any royalties.
There was even a TV station that wanted to use the song "Goodbye" in a variety show, but because Yang Qian had no background, they checked it out and just used it without even contacting them. We will wait until Yang Qian comes to visit (Note 1
).
How could Yang Qian have so much time to take care of this?
As a result, a very worrying but also very realistic situation emerged.
Even if Yang Qian registered the copyright, he did not get any profit from it. On the contrary, for the song "Keep the Roots", because of his teacher Ouyang Cheng, the organizer paid Yang Qian the copyright fee honestly, and also paid the copyright fee to Yang Qian.
Just the licensing fee.
This is already quite generous and quite interesting!
"How can we cover and use it without paying copyright fees? How can we wait until next year? Then won't we let them infringe more and make it easier for them?"
When Dai Yuni heard that Yang Qian had been bullied, she was immediately filled with indignation and her chest heaved with anger.
"I asked my dad's law firm to help. It seems that their lawyers usually have nothing to do. I asked them to send you a lawyer's letter asking for money. All unauthorized covers will be removed from the shelves!"
This law firm was mentioned by Dai Yuni before.
Yang Qian also thought that Dai Yuni's father might be a good lawyer and had reached the level of a partner in a law firm.
"Brother Qian, don't worry, I'll let them make arrangements. It won't delay my preparation for the exam."
Dai Yuni was still worried that Yang Qian wouldn't understand, so she quickly added.
(Note 1: This is really a fact. Even Hunan TV, which is a big company, often does this little trick of getting on the train first and then paying for the ticket, making money without being caught.)
