More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In May, it gets warmer in Beijing.
The smoke willows in Tuanjie Lake Park are charming, and the flowers are blooming everywhere, attracting tourists. There are also more female Buddhas in the evening. The food stalls moved out the TVs early and put up banners saying "Watch the World Cup and get free draft beer."
99 Company has changed a lot. It has hired about ten new people. In addition to daily tasks such as editing and art, it has also formed a special SMS game development team.
There were four people, not many, and Yao Yuan thoughtfully separated them with partitions, so they had their own small space.
The revenue in April has been further improved, and everyone is full of confidence. After all, Commander Yao said that the nationwide network will be upgraded in the second half of the year!
It's noon.
Yao Yuan left the newspaper building and waited on the side of the road for a while when he saw a small Mulan driving over from a distance. It had a red body and black seats, and it made a beautiful flick in front of it and stopped with a crunch.
There is a "Beijing A" license plate hanging on the rear of the car.
Mulan motorcycles were produced in Jinan and were so popular that there was even a saying of three golds and one wood, that is, a gold ring, gold earrings, gold necklace, and a Mulan motorcycle were required for marriage.
Women's cars do not sit astride, with legs together and in front.
"Come up!"
Yu Jiajia stretched out her hand to say hello.
"You go to the back!"
"Why?"
"I have long legs!"
whispering sound!
Yu Jiajia moved from the driver's seat to the back seat. Yao Yuan's 186-inch tall body trembled as he stood up. He put his legs together in front, as if he was driving a toy car.
"Tu tu tu tu!"
As soon as the little Mulan started to smoke, it puffed and puffed for a few times and then started slowly.
"How old have you been doing this?"
"When my family bought it, the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed."
"Then where did you get the Beijing A license plate?"
"Get on a motorcycle!"
"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a local. The license plates are all passed down from ancestors. In a few years, your license plates will be worth more than your car."
In 1985, Beijing stopped issuing "Jing 01" motorcycle licenses to urban residents, but those in the suburbs could apply for "Jing 02" license plates.
In 1994, Jing01 was changed to JingA, and Jing02 was changed to JingB.
What's the difference?
The former can be accessed except in special areas, while the latter is not even allowed to enter the Fourth Ring Road. Therefore, in later generations, there were people who bought and sold motorcycle license plates. A Jing A license could fetch 350,000.
Yu Jiajia had a day off today. She was dressed casually and drove a Mulan to pick up Yao Yuan.
The two of them ran for a long time until they arrived in Haidian and turned into an old family courtyard belonging to the China Agricultural Film and Television Center.
This is a public institution of the Ministry of Agriculture that produces some programs and then broadcasts them on CCTV.
The Book of Getting Rich, which teaches you how to raise pigs and flowers, was produced by this unit.
Little Mulan was almost deflated. The two of them finally got out of the car, climbed up to the fifth floor, and knocked on the door. There was a creak, and there stood a kind little old man wearing glasses.
"Good afternoon, Teacher Xu!"
"Reporter Xiao Xiao, come in, come in."
The old man greeted him warmly, and Yao Yuan entered the house and took a look. It was obviously a family building many years ago. Everything looked old and the furnishings were very simple, without any trace of wealth.
This person's name is Xu Jingqing. He is 60 years old. He graduated from Harbin Art Institute and was assigned to the China Agricultural Film and Television Center, which was also called the China Agricultural Film Studio at that time.
He is a composer who has not achieved much in his life. He only composed all the music for the 83 edition of "Journey to the West".
It stands to reason that he should become a master in the industry like Wang Liping of "A Dream of Red Mansions", Gu Jianfen of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Zhao Jiping of "Water Margin".
But no, Xu Jingqing had no fame or money in his life. He was only known to some people in the Internet era. Later, he couldn't afford to hold a "Journey to the West" concert, so he had to crowdfund online.
The two sides introduced each other, and the old man was busy pouring tea and getting some fruit.
After exchanging a few words, Yao Yuan said: "Teacher Xu, I am engaged in Internet and wireless value-added services, and I want to talk to you about copyright this time."
"What copyright?"
"Music copyright of "Journey to the West"."
"..."
The old man looked at him and said uncertainly: "How old is "Journey to the West"? Although it is still replayed on TV, the Internet is a high technology and I don't know much about it. This thing is played by young people, right? You want me to
Is the music useful?”
Ouch!
Yao Yuan really wanted to tell him, let alone now, even 20 years later, there will still be a lot of people who like "Journey to the West"!
This is like the American "Star Wars", almost engraved in the genes.
Who wouldn’t smile after hearing “Ding, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng, Dudi...”?!
"You are too modest. As long as you have experienced the 80s and 90s, who didn't grow up with Brother Monkey? Although he later blossomed..."
Yao Yuan spoke the truth for a moment, and then said: "The Internet and wireless value-added, don't treat it as high technology, just change the platform, just like changing from radio to television."
"..."
Xu Jingqing was silent again, a little helpless but relieved, and smiled: "To be honest, "Journey to the West" has been broadcast for so many years, and the music in it has been used countless times. You were the first to come to me to talk about copyright.
Our copyright protection is poor. I didn’t understand it before, but gradually I understood it. I tried to find some people, but nothing happened. Instead, they thought I was too busy, as if I had done something wrong in protecting my rights.”
He sighed, full of bitterness.
This is also true. For example, in the era of CRBT, the song "Zhu Bajie Carrying His Wife" made a lot of money, but he didn't get a penny.
The old man ran around, and finally various websites compensated for the cost, a total of 8,000 yuan. One of them did not know how to calculate it, and only gave 2 yuan and 70 cents!
In 2014, Han Han filmed "The Love of a Daughter" in the film "The End of Time".
Lyricist Yang Jie, composer Xu Jingqing.
Han Han found the two of them and said they wanted to use this, and gave each of them 50,000 yuan. They were both shocked, and the first time they received the music they paid back the money.
Yao Yuan stayed with me for a while and then opened his bag, which contained two style contracts.
One part is bought out and one part is divided.
He took out his share and handed it to the other party and said: "I want to use your "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is", "Zhu Bajie Carrying His Wife", "Daughter's Love", "Tianzhu Girl" and the prelude (this time it is not called Yungong Xunyin),
Five pieces of music.
This is a sharing contract, but since there is no confirmed operating model yet, I want to sign a priority clause. That is, after the operating model is released, we will discuss the sharing details and finally sign it."
"..."
Xu Jingqing could understand, so he was very hesitant. He was a very traditional cultural person, and he also liked fame and fortune, but he couldn't show his face and was embarrassed to ask for it.
He thought about it for a long time, not sure whether the profit sharing was good or not?
But then he thought, we can talk about it later, so he said: "Just sign the priority, you have priority, and we can talk about the ratio in detail later, right?"
"Yep!"
"OK, alright."
The contract was signed immediately, and Xu Jingqing stayed for dinner, but the two of them declined to leave.
After leaving the door, Yu Jiajia curled her lips and said: "Commander Yao, you are so hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Why don't you take out the buyout contract?"
"I am a conscientious businessman. Is it fun to bully an old man? Who is next?"
""The Big Sedan", didn't I tell you about it?"
"Don't always mess with these celebrities. Celebrities are expensive. We operate on a small budget. How can I still show kindness again and again?"
As Yao Yuan rode on Little Mulan, he complained: "You have to find new people and new songs, the kind that are not well-known, and charge one thousand yuan for one song. Accumulate the quantity first, and then dig out the quality. If you don't keep it all, it will be a blind cat and a rat!"
"I know, I know!"
(The group exploded, so I created another group: 885111131.
Damn it, you have to hold on until I put it on the shelves!)
