Early this morning, a man in a suit and leather shoes came to Xia Chu's house. This was the lawyer specially invited by Xia Chu. Xia Chu also handed the other party his artist contract.
After careful inspection by the lawyer, the other party said cautiously: "According to the contract, the company cannot restrict your use of private social accounts. They can manage but cannot control them, including short video platforms, music account software, and
It is a live broadcast platform, but the contract you signed states that it cannot be used casually. This is an unreasonable hegemonic contract."
Xia Chu added: "Then if I want to publish my music on Feifan Music, is that okay?"
"As long as it's not for commercial use and there's no charge, there won't be any problem!" the lawyer said.
"Then if they sue me, will they win?" Xia Chu asked worriedly.
The lawyer nodded and said, "You will win, but you don't have to worry."
Feifan Music has a musician channel, which is specially designed to cultivate independent musicians. Many live broadcast platform anchors and Internet celebrities who are good at singing like to publish their cover works on Feifan Music after they cover them.
This is purely about sharing your own singing, without any profit-making behavior, so it is allowed by copyright law.
So when Xia Chu put her original songs or cover songs on the Feifan website for the purpose of making profits, it was completely in compliance with the law. Whether it was music, short videos, or scarves, she could create and publish them to her heart's content, because these were private property.
But now many companies have hegemonic contracts that restrict these. Artists who don't understand the law really don't dare to mess with their accounts at will. Even if they understand the law, they don't understand the market and still won't publish anything at will.
Things were different at the beginning of Xia, he had completely left the company.
Two months ago, Liu Chong made her last phone call and agreed to apologize, even if it was done live, as long as Xia Chu could come back, but Xia Chu refused, and she refused outright.
This time Xia Miao didn't say anything. Since Xia Chu had made his own decision, she could only follow Xia Chu.
Then in the past two months, whether Xia Chu posted on Weibo or short videos, he would be warned by the company that if he posted randomly, they would sue Xia Chu.
Xia Chu felt that he was not making any profit by publishing these things, so why do you prohibit them? So, today I specially found a lawyer.
After getting to know the lawyer, it was determined that the actions he had done had indeed violated the contract. However, even if the company sued him in court, even if he won, the company would still lose money because they would have to pay for the legal fees. Although Xia Chu violated the contract, he
If there is no profit, the company will not be compensated for any losses.
Therefore, the lawyer told Xia Chu to use these platforms with confidence and there would be no problems.
Hearing this, Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
Modern people are inseparable from their mobile phones. Whether it is scarves or short videos, they have almost become one of people's daily necessary entertainment.
If it cannot be used normally, it may be very uncomfortable for Xia Chu.
After politely sending the lawyer away, Xia Miao smiled and said: "Okay, you can post short videos and music as you like. As long as you don't charge, nothing will happen."
Xia Miao is naturally very happy to be able to release some short videos in early summer, which are very useful in gathering fans.
For Xia Chu, she just wanted to be freer.
It was originally my own thing, but I was restricted by the company and couldn't play with it. I felt aggrieved no matter how I thought about it. So, Xia Chu made a short video of what happened just now and put it on the short video platform.
The short video platform itself is about sharing life, why can't celebrities share it casually?
Sure enough, after this short video was uploaded, the number of likes exceeded hundreds of thousands in an instant, and the number of views reached millions.
But before this, short videos, unless they were promoted with money, the most one video only had tens of thousands of likes. The only few videos that got high likes without promotion, hundreds of thousands or millions of likes, were because
Xia Chu's song, the first highly liked video is about Little Lucky, and the second one is about what happened later.
When her sales later reached the platinum level, and when Xia Chu became a popular singer, her accompanying videos were no longer so bleak. In just ten minutes, she received hundreds of thousands of likes, which is enough to show her current popularity.
Unfortunately, there are still four months left before you can participate in any commercial activities, which means you can't make money in early summer.
"Sister, have you forgotten something?" Xia Miao, wearing hot pants, reminded Xia Chu while sitting on the sofa watching a variety show on TV.
"What?" Xia Chu looked at Xia Miao in confusion.
"Today is the end of August, and kindergarten is starting." Xia Miao reminded again.
"Yes, yes...I forgot!" Xia Chu slapped her thigh and hurriedly stood up and started to get dressed.
"You don't know how. Just leave this kind of thing to Chu Han. Don't forget, Chu Han is the father of the child." Xia Miao looked at Xia Chu at this moment worriedly, feeling that she must have lost her mind.
"When you take your children to kindergarten, of course you have to take them yourself. I'll take them! I can't leave this kind of thing to Chu Han." Xia Chu said matter-of-factly.
"Sister, have you ever thought about what you would do if you were photographed?"
"If you get it, you'll get it. I don't even plan to be a star anymore. Who cares." Xia Chu smiled with relief, carrying her bag and shouting upstairs: "Xiaoxiao, come down here."
Xia Miao frowned and wanted to scold her, but she never spoke.
"Sister, do you know? If this matter is really exposed, then even if you join a new company after the contract is terminated, you will lose a lot of popularity. Moreover, if the fact that you have a child is exposed, it will really be...
Is there a company that wants you?"
Xia Chu curled her lips and said with a charming look: "Forget it, I don't want to hide something from my fans, and I don't want to hide myself anymore. That's it. From today on, I will be myself,
I just need to ensure that Xiaoxiao will not be harmed by the spotlight. I don’t want to hide her existence anymore. Besides, Xiaoxiao is getting bigger and bigger, how long do you plan to keep me hidden?"
"At least in the near future..."
"There's no time left, I'm almost no longer an artist." Xia Chu said calmly.
"Mom, I'm coming down." Chu Xiaoxiao had already put on her clothes, but her mother was chatting with her strange uncle early in the morning, so Chu Xiaoxiao never came down.
"Let me see, eh, you're so good. Is it okay for mom to take you to kindergarten today?"
"Okay, okay, can dad come today?"
"Why do you want dad to come?" Xia Chu took Chu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out of the room while talking.
"It was said on TV that parents should attend the child's entrance ceremony together so that there will be no regrets." Chu Xiaoxiao's voice gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of Xia Miao sighing in the room.
