The first thousand three hundred and thirty-six chapters of the slow and fast beast
After a while, Xue Zhimin came out of the temporarily modified interview room. When he saw Lu Heng waiting for him, his eyes lit up.
Bian Jiang found a restaurant with a good reputation nearby, and the four of them sat down and chatted casually while waiting for the food to be served.
While chatting, Bian Jiang mentioned Xue Zhimin.
"Mr. Xue, you said that in your company, you have a certain say in music. Then you might as well do me a favor!"
Xue Zhimin was surprised, "If you are busy with anything, just ask Mr. Bian and I will help you if I can! Also, Mr. Bian, please don't call me Mr. Xue, just call me A-man."
Bian Jiang smiled slightly, "Okay, Ah Ming. I'm not talking about big things, I just want to talk about cooperation. Your works are very popular, and I believe there will be more good works in the future. So our company wants to cooperate with you, look
Can you sell your new and old song copyrights to our company in the next five years? Of course, although it is an exclusive copyright, we will not impose any restrictions in recent years. You can also sell it on other music platforms. After all, I
I also know that what you need is more fans and listeners."
"I thought it was something." Xue Zhimin said with a hearty smile: "It doesn't matter, I can just talk to Huang Bo. And you are willing to spend money to buy the copyright of my songs, which is something that is beneficial to me.
I agreed first."
Gao Lei sat quietly aside, not too high-profile.
Seeing her boyfriend dealing with these bosses, she became more and more fond of Bian Jiang and Lu Heng.
They are all very qualified guys!
Unlike some of the bosses she met when she was a model, those bosses always had a certain nouveau riche temperament, as if money was everything. But whether they were models, actors, or even singers, they were all classified as actors, which was very despicable.
That's very disrespectful.
But Bian Jiang was different. Although his attitude was lukewarm, he gave him enough respect.
Buying copyrights is obviously a gift of money to Xue Zhimin, but it also takes the other party's feelings into consideration.
Moreover, in China, song copyright is not taken seriously.
Currently, the vast majority of songs played on major music platforms are copyright-free.
Logically speaking, this is a violation of the singer's rights and is illegal.
But few singers will go to court to sue music platforms.
The reason is simply that the singer's power is far behind compared to that of the other company.
First of all, the company can excuse it by saying that it is none of their business that users uploaded it on their own. Even if a lawsuit were to be filed, it would take a few years and it would kill ordinary singers.
What's more, even if the lawsuit is won, the reward will only be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in compensation.
Everyone looks down on this little money, especially from music platform companies, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
Now Bian Jiang is so serious about purchasing the copyright from Xue Zhimin, instead of taking advantage of the relationship between Lu Heng and Xue Zhimin to use it without saying anything. It seems to be a business-like thing, but in fact it is very disciplined and more humane.
"Okay, then I will arrange for relevant personnel to go to your company to discuss cooperation matters."
Bian Jiang got an accurate answer and couldn't help but smile.
Lu Heng saw this and appreciated Bian Jiang for following the rules, but he was also a little curious.
"Bian Jiang, you shouldn't need to handle these matters! Isn't Xu Zhiwu from the content department in charge of copyright-related matters?"
Bian Jiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't I see that the Amin people are here, and he can also make the decision, so I will talk to him by the way. And"
Having said this, Bian Jiang suddenly paused, with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Lu Heng asked curiously.
"Also, Xu Zhiwu has been very troubled recently when talking about copyrights. Some record companies have raised the prices of old albums, so he waits. There is a problem here!"
Bian Jiang's face suddenly darkened, and the other three people, including Lu Heng, were a little confused.
Lunch ended quickly and was very hasty.
However, Xue Zhimin and the two were not dissatisfied. Everyone could see that Bian Jiang suddenly thought of something at the dinner table, which made him unintentional to socialize.
This can be further verified by Lu Heng's gradually changing expression from behind.
In the afternoon, Xue Zhimin left Chongqing in a hurry and rushed to other places to rush to the scene of the next program announcement.
It's still Bian Jiang's office, but instead of just Lu Heng and Xue Zhimin before, there is one more person now.
That person is Xu Zhiwu, the head of Bianlu Technology Content Department.
After a long while, Xu Zhiwu scratched his head and left the office with some confusion.
Bian Jiang returned to the company just now and asked him to go over without saying a word and asked about the recent acquisition of copyright.
He reported it truthfully, and the price was slightly increased. Negotiations for exclusive copyrights were blocked, and some old albums by old singers were not obtained, etc.
But in his opinion, this is not a big deal.
After all, making money is something that is negotiated, and it is impossible for someone to buy something and someone else just sell it.
Price increases, negotiations, and discussions are all normal operations.
Xu Zhiwu wondered: "Is it because I spent too much money on songs recently and Mr. Bian feels distressed?"
In the office, Bian Jiang sat down opposite Lu Heng with a solemn expression.
Lu Heng was no longer as leisurely as before, but a little more serious.
Bian Jiang looked at Lu Heng and suddenly smiled bitterly, "I think you must have discovered the problem, Chief!"
Lu Heng nodded slowly, "The problem lies in copyright, right?"
Bian Jiang gritted his teeth, "I didn't realize it before, but Xue Zhimin's happy and joyful performance today suddenly woke me up. Logically speaking, most of the profits of major record companies come from record sales and the support of their singers.
Commercial performances and other activities. There is basically no income from online copyrights."
"According to the gradual decline of the record industry in recent years, even for king-level singers, it is difficult for new albums to sell millions of copies. We go to buy online broadcast rights, just to give them money, and they would never make money by giving away a copy.
Received money.”
Lu Heng took over, "This is equivalent to picking up for free, and some of them are old albums from more than ten years ago. It's like something you made more than ten years ago, and suddenly you can sell it for money. So those companies
His performance should be the same as Xue Zhimin’s performance today. Even more joyful and happy."
Bian Jiang murmured: "But what Xu Zhiwu just said is different. Some companies are not so happy when selling copyrights, and even raise the price, or even refuse to sell it directly. What does this mean?"
Lu Heng rubbed his chin and gave an answer.
"It means someone is grabbing the copyright from us."
Bian Jiang raised his head, stared at Lu Heng and asked, "Chief, who do you think it could be?"
Lu Heng shrugged, "The answer is already obvious."
The giant beast's movements may be slow due to its huge size, but its sense of smell is definitely not bad, and its vision can see further!
