Chapter 172 Do You Have Money To Buy Copyrights For Your Show? (2/2)
At noon, I said goodbye to the old men who went back to their homes to find their aunties. Yang Han also returned to his familiar home alone. His daughter was not at home, and the house seemed particularly empty and deserted without her chirping voice!
Fortunately, when he came back this time, Yang Han was not as confused and decadent as the first time. He just sighed melancholy, cheered up, opened all the windows, and let the bright sunshine and warm wind flow in.
Take away the humid and turbid air indoors.
Yang Han has never hired a nanny at home. Today, he is alone. He rolls up his trouser legs, carries an iron bucket with a certain age, and cleans the upstairs, downstairs, and even the roof.
Although it is an old house, before Yang Han moved in, he still asked the construction team to tidy up the building. Not only did it re-pave high-end, beautiful and stain-resistant ceramic tiles, he also asked people to remove the original small windows.
They even expanded the window area and replaced it with large bright windows.
Now the windows are open, the curtains are drawn, and the golden sunshine and mottled tree shadows in the afternoon are slanting in, imprinted on the tile floor, and there is a sense of tranquility and beauty in the years!
Yang Han sat on his favorite sofa. He originally wanted to read quietly for a while. But not long after, his cell phone rang.
Dong Yixia called and said that Gu Baojun came to the door and asked Yang Han if he wanted to see him.
"No." Yang Han just finished his work and sat down at his home, and now he is too lazy to get up!
So he refused at first, and then asked curiously: "Why did Gu Baojun come to Yangcheng to find me?"
"I want to talk to you about the licensing of your song "Youth". Yiyi and her program team want to use it," Dong Yixia explained.
"Why do I need him to come all the way to authorize me for this song?" Yang Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
In this world, the licensing of songs is actually very simple. Either you go directly to the copyright association and pay directly according to the author's price, or you negotiate with the author, agree on a price, and then report it to the copyright association.
.
But even for cost considerations, this kind of trivial matter does not require the producer Gu Baojun to do it himself - even if he is not the chief producer, he is just an executive producer under the chief producer, doing some things for the chief producer.
Substantial work, such as supervising the quality of program shooting, progress, fund flow, etc., is not his turn to do such small things that only require a phone call to solve the problem!
Unless, what he wants is very high!
It's not just about the song. Combined with the previous incident of Gu Baojun personally calling Yang Han, Yang Han felt that he valued her more.
"I'm too lazy to go to the company. You can bring Gu Baojun to Xiguan! I'll send you the address of the hotel later, and we'll chat while eating." Yang Han thought Gu Baojun was quite interesting, so he decided to meet him.
See what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
…
Dong Yixia and Gu Baojun arrived at around five o'clock in the afternoon. The previous greetings and the conversation between Gu Baojun and Gu Baojun about Yang Han's retirement do not need to be elaborated. They are just some empty remarks.
After getting back to business, Gu Baojun explained to Yang Han: "Currently we are still preparing for the third performance stage. It is expected that the official competition will start next Tuesday. Then Mr. Yang, your song "Youth"
For the first time, when we heard it online, we felt that it fit the definition of our program of infinite youth and blooming against the wind."
"Then after "The Voice of China" released the authentic sound source you recorded yesterday, the director decided to replace one of the two tracks in our finals with your song, Mr. Yang. So I also accepted the director's decision.
As a commission, I came to Yangcheng specifically to discuss this matter with you, Teacher Yang." Gu Baojun said with a smile.
"It's no problem if you want to license it!" Yang Han said with a smile, "But your program team has money? When Yiyi and others first performed on the stage, didn't you still have the money to buy them the copyright?"
Although Yang Han had complained about it countless times in his heart, Yang Han said it with a smile and a very calm tone, but it still made people feel uncomfortable to hear it - he is indeed an old YYDS!
Gu Baojun was stunned when he heard this. What's going on?
Gu Baojun couldn't control the details in the program team, and the people below him didn't report to him. Of course he didn't know, or even if he had watched TV, he had forgotten that Yang Ruoyi encountered the dilemma of changing songs before her first stage performance.
.
However, Dong Yixia saw his confused look and kindly reminded: "That happened at the beginning. Our Yang Han had not announced it to the public before, and even Yiyi didn't know his identity as Mr. Mu. So at that time, your program was not
Are the trainees required to purchase the copyright of the songs they want to perform alone at their own expense? The singing teacher who originally taught Yiyi recommended the song "My Dearest" to Yiyi, but it turned out that Yiyi didn't know that this song was hers
My father wrote it, and I thought I would have to pay a lot of royalties, so I was reluctant to buy it."
"It doesn't matter. Yiyi performed very well later when she sang "Little River Flowing Water"." Yang Han waved his hand and said, "It's just that I think your program team's approach is not right. Not talking about my daughter, other ordinary training
Students or individual trainees who don’t have the money to buy the copyright themselves, wouldn’t it affect their performance if they encounter this situation?”
Gu Baojun finally understood why Yang Han said this. He did not argue for himself, but nodded solemnly and said sincerely: "Teacher Yang, you raised this question well. It is indeed inappropriate for us to do this.
, and it also caused a lot of controversy on the Internet! We will definitely reflect deeply on this when we go back, and then we will definitely pay attention to improvements in the next season..."
Yang Han did not dwell on this question, but returned to the issue of licensing his songs: "Which two songs did you originally prepare? Which one are you planning to replace?"
Gu Baojun reported the names of two songs to Yang Han, but Yang Han could not find them online because they were two songs tailor-made by the program team and the producers and had not been officially released.
"Teacher Yang, I have it on my phone. Let me play it for you." Gu Baojun quickly took out his phone and played it for Yang Han.
Whether it was the song "Youth" that Gu Baojun wanted to replace or the song "Flying" that he wanted to keep, Yang Han's slightly furrowed eyebrows after listening to it proved his true thoughts - too... too, too special
How unpleasant it sounds!
It seems that those who can produce good works are just as I thought, most of them are the works that the creators themselves come up with. For proposition composition, even the best creators often fall into the cliche, and there is nothing worthwhile.
A place of praise...
It’s not that there are no good essays on propositions, but it’s just that there are too few and they are rare!
"You announced the song names of the finals on TV. When will the episode where you announce the song information be broadcast?" Yang Han asked.
"It should be the tenth issue. The tenth issue is October...October 14th." Gu Baojun didn't know Yang Han's intention, so he could only answer truthfully.
"On October 14th, the episode when I quit the competition should be the seventh episode, which happened to be broadcast the day before..." Yang Han used the perpetual calendar on his mobile phone to calculate, then raised his head, smiled and said, "
In this way, I will give you another song, and replace both songs with mine! I guarantee that the quality will be better than your two songs!"
"What song?" Gu Baojun asked in surprise.
""The Wind Rises"! You should have heard of it, it's the song I sang when I quit the competition!"
