Chapter 39 Do You Need To Pay Copyright Fees To Sing On The Show? (2/2)
"My dearest, how are you doing? You are fine without me..."
The high notes of this song are not very difficult, but after all, the original version is Amei's song, so it's not that easy to sing it overall.
Zou Junping especially likes to see Yang Ruoyi singing this song with ease, especially seeing this girl rely on her talent of long breath to break the limitations caused by insufficient ventilation skills. This feeling is like watching a master master playing a master game. It is really
A kind of crushing strength!
Of course, she will still guide Yang Ruoyi to learn to breathe correctly later. After all, singing scientifically is also a kind of protection for the singer herself!
…
"Bah, bang, bang!" After Yang Ruoyi finished singing, teacher Zou Junping, who was opposite the electric piano, applauded appreciatively and said with a smile, "Yes, singing like this is much better than before."
Seeing the teacher's praise, Yang Ruoyi raised her beautiful eyebrows with some joy, but she pursed her lips shyly, embarrassed to show too much joy.
"Come on, let's take a look at this sentence. You and the teacher can read it out loud and emotionally. My dearest, how are you doing..." Teaching Yang Ruoyi is easier because she has mastered the basic rhythm.
, there were no problems with pitch, so Zou Junping directly started working on the details with her.
"Teacher Zou, I'm sorry to bother you." When Yang Ruoyi was reading aloud with the teacher, He Yanan finally walked out from behind the camera. She waved her hand gently and interrupted them in a low voice.
"What's wrong? Xiao He." Zou Junping only saw He Yanan there now, she asked with a smile.
"One thing is like this, Yang Ruoyi, do you plan to use the song "My Dearest" for your personal display during the first stage?" He Yanan held her folder in her left hand and her mobile phone in her right hand.
, asked softly.
Yang Ruoyi subconsciously looked at Teacher Zou, but Zou Junping just looked at her with a smile. The decision of whether to use this song or not was in her own hands, and Zou Junping just gave her a suggestion.
"I also like this song very much. If, if the instructor calls me, I want to sing this song." Yang Ruoyi is not sloppy, she is quite assertive, not to mention, the singer of this song
Xu Yanya is also a singer she likes very much.
However, He Yanan's expression was not as optimistic as others. She said with some solemnity: "But now there is a problem. For our first stage performance, all the copyrights of the songs need to be purchased by your own agency for you. Because you
As individual trainees, the program team will pay you the copyright fee for the first song you perform, but if you want to show yourself further, like Yang Ruoyi, you need to pay for the song "My Dearest" yourself.
of……"
Do you still need to pay royalties?
Yang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment. She had never heard of such a thing, and she never thought that there would be copyright fees! Looking at the previous seasons of this show, no trainee had ever said such a thing!
Is the show team so stingy? Do you have to pay royalties to sing on the show?
But obviously this is the rule of the show crew. He Yanan looked at Yang Ruoyi with apologetic eyes, and she was helpless.
""My Dearest", how much is the copyright for this song?" Zou Junping knew about this, but she had forgotten about it just now. After being silent for a while, she asked.
"I just checked and found that the copyright of this song is not owned by Xu Yanya. To buy the copyright, I have to find Mr. Mu, the creator of this song, but Mr. Mu has not appeared for a long time. I guess I can't contact him. If
If you can't contact him, you can't negotiate the price with him. If you pay according to the price he left at the copyright association, the copyright fee for being on our show is very expensive, costing 128,000..." He Yanan said with a bitter smile.
He Yanan really didn't want to embarrass Yang Ruoyi. She also said frankly: "To be honest, I don't recommend you buy this copyright unless your family is really rich. Because even if you buy this copyright to sing, if the effect is not good
If you do, the program team may cut out the scene of your song later, and all the money will be wasted!"
It is also because Yang Ruoyi is so young and is still a personal trainee that He Yanan talks so much to her. If a brokerage company pays the bill, He Yanan will certainly not talk too much.
Yang Ruoyi and Tang Wenfei both stood there looking at each other. They had never encountered such a "big event" of more than 100,000 yuan. Both girls didn't know what to do.
Even if Yang Ruoyi is a "little rich woman" and has enough money in her card, she doesn't have the habit of spending money casually! Besides, if she spends hundreds of thousands at a time and spends it casually a few times, the money she has worked hard to save for so many years is also
Not enough money!
What's more, He Yanan also told them the worst-case scenario, and there was actually a possibility that they would spend money and not get a single shot!
There is no way, why are they the trainees who have no debut, no fame, and are at the bottom of the entire entertainment industry? For the sake of profit, the program team has no chance to seek justice even if they are sacrificed!
The girls faced such a cruel reality for the first time and were stunned.
"Hey..." Zou Junping looked at the helpless Yang Ruoyi and sighed softly. She actually thought of paying for Yang Ruoyi just now because she cherished her talent, but 128,000 was also a figure that discouraged her.
.
"How about changing to another song? I remembered a very old folk song. It was written in the 1940s, but it is very nice. Many singers are singing it now. The most important thing is that this
The copyright lawsuit for this song has been going on for more than ten years. There is no dispute over who is the original author or whether it is a folk song, so currently it can be sung without copyright fees. But it may be a bit difficult. Ruoyi, do you want to try it?
Give it a try?" Zou Junping hesitated and told Yang Ruoyi a song title.
…
Later, they went to the dance teacher Xiao Fang for advice. Yang Ruoyi and Tang Wenfei didn't return to their hotel room until almost ten o'clock.
Tang Wenfei went to take a shower first. Yang Ruoyi remembered what sister Yu Xiaoqi told her in the evening, so she took out her mobile phone and started a video call with her father using WeChat.
However, after the call was connected, Yang Ruoyi was speechless. Her father was actually playing cards with Uncle Wu and Peng Xueyuan in the room, fighting the Landlord!
"Dad, why don't you take a rest?" Yang Ruoyi asked, dumbfounded.
"It's still early, half past ten, why are you sleeping so early?" Yang Han chuckled, he poked his finger, the camera turned around, his face was covered with notes, and Peng Xueyuan, who looked like a white-bearded grandfather, came into Yang Ruoyi's eyes.
.
"Peng Peng, why are you so miserable? Have you always been the loser?" Yang Ruoyi looked at it and couldn't help but slap her thigh unkindly and laugh.
The sound of her slapping her thighs also attracted Yu Xiaoqi who was applying a facial mask. Yu Xiaoqi came over and looked at the white-bearded "grandpa" on the phone screen, and started laughing too.
"Yiyi, who is this? So funny." Yu Xiaoqi laughed.
"He comes from the same village as me and Feifei. We grew up together. Now that my dad sent us here, he has followed us to Suzhou and Hangzhou to play." Yang Ruoyi briefly introduced.
They didn't speak loudly, so the other side couldn't hear them clearly. Moreover, Yu Xiaoqi only said something to the side, worried that her face with the mask on would be in the mirror, so she nodded and moved away.
"I lose anyway, I just...just lose a little more." Peng Xueyuan shouted unconvinced, but his voice and confidence became weaker as he went on.
"Then why neither my father nor my fifth uncle have beards, but you have so many on your face?" Yang Ruoyi asked with a smile.
"Because he agreed. If we lose, he can take off one strip from his face and treat it as if we have one strip on his face. Anyway, he has so many strips on his face that it won't be enough even if he doesn't take it off.
It's over." Yang Han took back his phone, turned the camera back, and said to his daughter calmly.
"Why do I feel like I've lost money now!" Peng Xueyuan shouted from behind.
