Light and Shadow Entertainment

Chapter 72
Zhang Lu's idea is very simple, sign it first, it's best if it's popular, and it won't lose anything if it's not popular.

He spoke immediately: "Xiao Zheng, you are much younger than me, and I will call you Xiao Zheng too, is it alright?"

After Wang Zheng nodded, Zhang Lu spoke to the father and son.

"Brother Wang, Xiao Zheng, actually, to be honest, the company saw Xiao Zheng's "The First Dream" on the website, and thought it was good, and wanted to get authorization.

But after seeing Xiao Zheng, I thought, big brother, why don't you let Xiao Zheng sing by himself? We originally planned to sing for newcomers. Is there anything more suitable than the original author?
Of course, I do not deny that there is also a relationship between Xiao Zheng's appearance, but this is also an opportunity.

I think Xiao Zheng's "Wait a minute" was also written by him. It's a pity not to sing so talented. "

Zhang Lu is just talking nonsense. He has already tricked many people into joining the company by this trick.

Wang Zheng's purpose was this, he didn't let Wang Tiezhu speak, he answered by himself.

"But the copyright of the song "Initial Dream" you want is incomplete. Also, I do like to sing."

Wang Zheng is not afraid to speak out about his intentions. This is an opportunity. If he misses this time, he will not know when.

He doesn't believe a word of Zhang Lu's words, but it's a good thing to join the company. It's a big deal to sing at his own expense. What he wants is one of his channels.

"It's okay, Xiao Zheng, the copyright of RB singers is easy to buy. As long as you sign with our company, we can buy the copyright of this song."

"Then, if I sign into the company, how long will the company promise to release the record?"

"Well, theoretically possible, but because the company has just merged, some of the songs collected are not so good, so the record is a bit difficult for the time being."

"So, what if I wrote the songs myself?"

"Then it would be best if you have a song from an album, but because you are a newcomer, if you release a song, you can only make it yourself, and the company can release it for you."

This is actually bullying newcomers, but this is also the norm for mainland companies.

It’s okay to release records, but if you’re a bit famous, if you ask others to release them, they have to consider it. If you’re not famous, you can pay for it yourself.

If you don't have money, it's easy to handle, the company will pay for you in advance, it's best if it's hot, otherwise you'll owe money.

It depends on whether you dare to fight. As for Wang Zheng, of course he will fight.

"Well, if you pay at your own expense, it's not a signed singer."

"That's right, this is the agency, we'll pay you to make an album first, and it's up to you to decide how many albums to release, but you still have to pay the money, as well as the release fee.

If you lose, you have to pay, if you make a profit, we deduct the distribution and production costs, and the rest is yours. "

Don't look at it as if you're going to suffer a big loss if you release an album at your own expense. In fact, it's unlikely that this album will make money, it's just to make a name for yourself.

It is also understandable for the record company, the sales of records are gradually declining, most of them are losses, and they dare not take risks at all.

Otherwise, Taihe Maitian released a record two years after its establishment, and it was a loss. It was not until Brother Chun won the championship that he did his best to release the record.

After a while, Zhang Lu also went out first, probably seeing that the father and son had something to say.

Wang Tiezhu: "Xiao Zheng, what do you say, you earn the money, and my mother and I support you."

"Dad, I want to make a record. The big deal is that the sales are bleak. Anyway, I won't lose much. The top death is that I invested more than one million in last month."

"Okay, then don't play the negotiation game. When it is decided, it will be broken. I will directly ask you Uncle Liu and Brother Cheng to come and see the contract."

"OK……"

Uncle Liu and Brother Cheng are the two lawyers.

Wang Zheng said to the outside that Zhang Lu had probably received the news that he was going to add water, and went in until the two had discussed it.

The discussion was very pleasant, and it was determined that the company would pay for the song at his own expense, and the company would pay in advance. Wang Zheng decided on how many albums to release, and he could add more later.

As for the producer, Zhang Lu personally came, this is also a qualification.

Zhang Lu also likes this model. No matter if he earns or loses, the company's distribution fee is earned.

After a while, two lawyers came, read the contract, and had questions about the copyright in it.

Zhang Lu explained: "Xiao Zheng, this isn't cheating on your copyright, I heard it just now, your copyright is indeed registered.

However, don't forget, you have authorized the copyright to this studio, but someone has infringed it. Do you have any way to go to them to file a lawsuit?
You are not an employee of our company, the copyright is yours, yes, the songs released by our company cannot be used by anyone, our company has a special copyright agency service, you can represent the copyright to us.

We still have a place in the music market, such as Pu Shu and even Zhang Qingsheng, although they bought the copyright back themselves, they are still represented by us.

It’s enough to pay the management fee on time every year. If you don’t pay it that day, the agency will naturally cease to exist. "

Speaking of which, I also took a few CDs of Jay Chou and others, and indeed wrote a copyright agency.

Wang Zheng didn't realize until now that it is true that the copyright is something you can't take away, but there is a TV or other program that is commercially available.

You can't come to the door one by one, you might as well tell the record company directly.

Of course, this can only prevent those regular, network areas, unless the apps of later generations appear in advance, or from now to ten years later, all uploaded to the network will be free.

Anyway, the agency copyright can be recovered at any time, and someone can use it and get an extra income. At least he knows who to give the money to.

Therefore, a contract was specially drafted, and the songs prepared for the album were first authorized from Xia Tong Studio to the agent of Taihe Maitian, and the contract was signed every three years.

Then, the copyright fee for the production cost, although it is Wang Zheng's original work, must also be included in the production cost. It can be said that for every album sold, Wang Zheng can receive a royalty.

Of course, this first one is at your own expense, no matter what, if you become famous in the future, you can't give less than you should.

After Zhang Lu discussed the cooperation, she handed it over to the company's lawyers. The lawyers on both sides had no disagreement and signed.

So Xia Tong even took a taxi from the unit and signed and stamped with the official seal.

Wang Zheng signed his name and was very happy.

To be honest, he also thought about Mao Sui's self-recommendation. The chances are too low. If it weren't for the chance to have a direct conversation with Zhang Lu, he could only find a sound shop to make it like Daolang.

That way, he won't be recognized by his fellow singers. If Daolang releases it through Taihe, Warner and other record companies, you can see whether Yehenala and Yang Thirty-two wolves will criticize his music.

Wang Zheng is not so capable for the time being, and he can't afford to offend these seniors, so he can only walk slowly.
