Chapter 25
Director Liu Peng mentioned at that time that the 11 songs in the musical part of "A Thousand Thousand Tribulations of Love" were packaged for 300,000 yuan. On average, one song costs about 30,000 yuan. To a large extent, this should be attributed to Director Liu Peng.
Being willing to endorse Xiao Yuxuan for Zhou Xianjun's sake is also a special situation.
Normally speaking, Xiao Yuxuan, as a pure "newcomer", has neither fame nor qualifications. Even if he has good works, someone must favor him, right?
How about saying, "Thousand-mile horses often exist but Bole does not always exist"?
Even if he met Bole, his works would probably only be priced at a bargain price. Xiao Yuxuan still has this self-awareness.
Therefore, the price of the 500,000 yuan packaged album offered by Yu Anzhen has exceeded Xiao Yuxuan's expectations, not to mention that there will be a share later, and it is half and half with Yu Anzhen.
The result given by Yu Anzhen made Xiao Yuxuan feel a little touched. If he hadn't experienced a lot, I'm afraid this touching emotion would be more obvious.
"Everyone is carrying the sedan chair", Yu Anzhen took care of him in this way, Xiao Yuxuan felt that he had to give up as soon as it was good. In Xiao Yuxuan's view, friendship is far more important than money, and there is no need to be too greedy when it comes to money.
Xiao Yuxuan looked at the bank card in front of him and sighed: "Money is such a good thing... Sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Don't say that I have grown up so old. Even if I count my previous life, I have never seen such a thing all of a sudden.
Rich!"
Yu Anzhen saw a sense of vicissitudes of life on Xiao Yuxuan's face that was inconsistent with his age. She was puzzled in her heart, but her face remained calm: "You deserve everything, just don't take too little."
"I'm not that greedy!" Xiao Yuxuan picked up the bank card and gestured: "I'll accept the money, but I'll just split it."
Yu Anzhen tugged her hair around her ears and teased with some surprise: "Is it possible that you still think money is too hot to handle?"
Xiao Yuxuan smiled sincerely: "Sister, I know you are taking care of me. I won't say thank you to you. I will get you as much as you do. This is enough."
Ye Fei was deeply surprised by Xiao Yuxuan's refusal.
Yu Anzhen consulted Ye Fei for her opinion on the album remuneration, and suggested that she directly give Xiao Yuxuan a share of the song. For the sake of maintaining a good relationship, Ye Fei also agreed to this suggestion, but she thought it was already a success.
Quite a lot, I never thought that Yu Anzhen would say 50-50 split.
Although she knew Yu Anzhen's thoughts, this ratio was too high.
However, since Yu Anzhen said it in person, Ye Fei could not dissuade her. She thought of admonishing her in private afterwards, but Xiao Yuxuan actually refused.
In Ye Fei's view, the song's revenue share must be given in order to deeply bind the cooperative relationship between the two. Considering Xiao Yuxuan's ability, it is still necessary to give 10 to 20% of the revenue.
Ye Fei thought Xiao Yuxuan had no idea about this income, so she explained: "Yuxuan, don't refuse it just yet. I'll tell you about the income from the songs before you make a decision. You can choose this kind of digital album
Multiple platforms can be released at the same time, or a certain platform can be selected for exclusive release. The main income is the download fee of the song. The platform will directly take away 40% to 80% according to the situation, and the remaining income belongs to the singer's company or individual. Although now
Many things are still uncertain, but in An Zhen's case, I estimate that 10% of her personal income is probably more than 500,000, and as long as the songs are not removed from the shelves or are freely available for download, this income will continue. To be honest
, I’m going to be jealous of the conditions An Zhen has given you, haha.”
Xiao Yuxuan laughed, patted his chest and said to Ye Fei: "Sister Fei, drinking vinegar is easy. Didn't I just get rich? From now on, we will drink vinegar as water. We can go to the supermarket to get whatever flavor we want."
Pick, I'm asking you, don't save for me, just take care of yourself."
Ye Fei pushed Yu Anzhen, who was laughing loudly, and rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuxuan, "Xiao Yuxuan, just treat yourself as a human being! You can't understand, right? I'm helping you make money out of kindness!"
"Hey, you're joking, Sister Fei, don't take it seriously!" Xiao Yuxuan said while refilling their teacups: "I appreciate the kindness, but again, you can't get paid as much as you do.
I worked hard until the end, but I got the big deal, which is not appropriate."
After listening to Ye Fei's explanation, Xiao Yuxuan certainly knew that the share Yu Anzhen mentioned was a hen that lays golden eggs. He felt warm and admired Yu Anzhen's attitude, and was determined to refuse. It was not Xiao Yu.
Xuan pretends to be aloof, because he values this kind of friendship more than money, and doesn't want this kind of friendship to eventually become something that can be measured by money.
With a smile on her face, Yu Anzhen shook her head and said, "That's not how you calculated the score! It's no exaggeration to say that I can't buy this album with money now. I've been asking for songs everywhere, but I haven't gotten one yet."
It's a favorite song. Besides, I have a hunch that this album will help me reach a higher level. The income from various commercial performance endorsements and even later concerts will be far beyond what I can get from this share of income.
It’s a comparison, so don’t refuse.”
Xiao Yuxuan shook his head decisively, not wanting to dwell on this topic anymore, so he changed the subject, "By the way, sister, do you have any familiar lawyers in Shanghai?"
"Lawyer?" The topic jumped too much. Yu Anzhen didn't react and subconsciously looked at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei took the initiative to take over the topic, "We have a law firm that we have cooperated with all year round, and we have always had a good relationship. Yu Xuan, why do you suddenly ask about this? What kind of trouble have you encountered?"
Xiao Yuxuan explained the whole story about the copyright of the song "Dang": "...So, I am thinking about directly going through the litigation process after the year. I will definitely get back the signature rights of this song."
Yu Anzhen nodded, a little worried, "Similarly, it is not uncommon to find a gunman to create or directly purchase the signature rights in order to create a so-called singer-songwriter. Just like the agent you mentioned just now, the circle
Whether it's strange or not, it's already a convention, and everyone knows it's just a tacit understanding, although it's indeed a bad rule that they didn't inform in advance, but Yu Xuan, I'm afraid it won't do you any good if this matter really gets big."
Ye Fei followed up and said: "This matter is probably not that simple. I'm afraid that Hu Xiaodong's background is not simple, otherwise Rubik's Cube Media would have no reason to spend so much thought on such a newcomer, and would not make concessions even though they knew they were facing the risk of a lawsuit!
Speaking of Rubik's Cube Media itself, the fact that they are the only one in Magic City speaks volumes. The power of Rubik's Cube Media is self-evident, and I'm afraid it won't be a good idea to go up against them directly!"
Yu Anzhen and Ye Fei had the same argument as Xu Rong. Xiao Yuxuan looked a little depressed and smiled indifferently: "I just want to get back the copyright of the song. To say the least, it's just the right of signature.
I didn’t want to compete with Rubik’s Cube Media.”
Ye Fei frowned, "Based on past experience, this kind of lawsuit is really difficult to fight. Not only is it troublesome to obtain evidence, but it also takes a long time. Winning the case is not easy..."
Xiao Yuxuan put away his indifferent smile and said firmly and seriously: "Sister Fei, I am mentally prepared for what you said. Even if Rubik's Cube Media has great abilities, this matter will not be over if the authorship rights are not taken back.
!”
In Xiao Yuxuan's view, these songs in his mind are not his personal property, but cultural symbols imprinted on another time and space. He cannot accept this kind of blasphemy.
He cannot explain this persistence in words, but it does not prevent him from using actions to prove this deep soul protection. Even if no one understands, he does not expect others to understand.
Seeing Xiao Yuxuan's firm attitude, Yu Anzhen did not persuade her any more, but told Ye Fei: "Sister Fei, please find a time to talk to Lawyer He about this matter and see what good suggestions he has.
A lot of consulting fees can't be used when something goes wrong."
"Okay!" Ye Fei agreed.
Yu Anzhen said to Xiao Yuxuan again: "Yuxuan, since you have decided to fight this lawsuit, you can ask Teacher Zhou for his advice in the evening. Teacher Zhou called me in the morning and asked me to remember to pick up the phone when I go to his place in the evening.
Fuck you."
Xiao Yuxuan smiled: "Master called me yesterday and asked me to go to his house to celebrate the New Year. Originally, I was thinking about disturbing their family reunion, but Master emphasized to me that you will come with him.
I feel much more at ease.”
Yu Anzhen opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Isn't it? Teacher Zhou told me the same thing, and I only agreed to Teacher Zhou because I thought you would do it..."
"It's all a routine!" Xiao Yuxuan smiled bitterly and patted his forehead when he heard this: "I guess the master said this deliberately because he was afraid of our rejection. Forget it, since we agreed, let's go together and buy some gifts on the way."
Yu Anzhen also smiled a little sheepishly and said: "I have prepared all the gifts...I have also prepared your share."
…
The Teachers' Family Courtyard of the Magic City Conservatory of Music is not far from the north gate of the college. Xiao Yuxuan knows the approximate location but has never been there. Today happens to be the New Year, but the security guard at the door still does his duty, not only asking a few people to do it in detail
Visitors were registered, and their identity was confirmed with the head of the household before being released. Of course, Xiao Yuxuan was also given instructions on the approximate location of the building where Zhou Xianjun lived.
The nanny car was traveling along the main road of the community. Xiao Yuxuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept looking around through the car window: the buildings in the community were not dense, they were all in the shape of small high-rise bungalows, and camphor trees were planted on both sides of the road.
There are rows of green bamboos standing on the lawn around the bungalow; from the black stains washed by rain on the white and gray walls, it is easy to tell that the community has been around for some time. Walking further in, a small river passes through it, forming a bend in the small river.
There is a small lake, and there is a zigzag wooden bridge not far across the river. The river and lake surround a central island with wooden pavilions and corridors. The waterside is full of tall weeping willows, just like a small park.
This community with its unique Jiangnan garden charm is so beautiful!
Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but mutter something in Sichuan dialect: "I insist on it!"
Yu Anzhen, who was sitting in the back row, didn't hear clearly and asked: "What did you just say?"
"I said this courtyard is very comfortable! It's a great place to live here!"
Xiao Yuxuan's sudden hometown dialect amused both Yu Anzhen and Ye Fei who was driving. Xiao Yuxuan also laughed: "Why are you laughing? I'm a fake Sichuan kid. What's weird about saying a few words in Sichuan dialect?"
Well?"
The two of them were still giggling, Xiao Yuxuan pointed not far ahead: "It should be right in front, that person seems to be my master... Well, he is my master, yes... Sister Fei,
Just pull over and don't block the road."
"Okay, you get out of the car after I've stopped!" Ye Fei controlled the nanny car and parked it on the side of the road.
Zhou Xianjun, who was smoking on the roadside, also identified a few people in the car at this time and walked towards the nanny car.
"Master." Xiao Yuxuan opened the door and got out of the car and said hello to Zhou Xianjun who was walking towards him, "Is it okay if the car just stops?"
"It's okay, it's okay to stop."
"You told me the specific building. We can find it ourselves. Why bother you to go downstairs and wait in the cold weather."
"I just went downstairs to smoke a cigarette." Zhou Xianjun pointed in the direction of his home and said helplessly: "You don't even know that smoking at home is illegal!"
Xiao Yuxuan chuckled and gave a look of understanding.
"Hello, Teacher Zhou!" Yu Anzhen also greeted Zhou Xianjun, "I'm causing trouble for you!"
week
Xiao Yuxuan turned around and helped Ye Fei carry the big and small bags from the trunk. Seeing this, Zhou Xianjun stopped him and said, "It's enough when people come, what else should I bring? There is nothing missing at home, Yu Xuan, don't take anything away!"
Xiao Yuxuan didn't even know what gifts Yu Anzhen helped prepare. He just took a casual glance and could probably tell that there were red wine and cosmetics, and the others were packaged. He didn't know what they were without looking carefully.
"Master, you can't blame me." Xiao Yuxuan sold it directly to Yu Anzhen: "Sister An Zhen is thin-skinned. It was the first time she came here and she was embarrassed to be empty-handed. She even prepared a gift for me. I just came here today to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha.
If you are dissatisfied with the food and drink, just pick on Sister An Zhen."
Yu Anzhen was really embarrassed by what Xiao Yuxuan said, so she glared at Xiao Yuxuan, then smiled and said to Zhou Xianjun: "Teacher Zhou, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't know what you and your wife like, so
I just prepared something casually, just a little bit of my thoughts."
Xiao Yuxuan advised: "Master, if you don't go out again, Sister An Zhen will be too embarrassed to use chopsticks when eating at night, haha..."
"You!" Zhou Xianjun also smiled, "An Zhen, you also learn from Yu Xuan. When you come here, it's just like at home. You're welcome. Coming here this time is considered as recognition. In the future, come and sit down often if you have nothing to do."
Yu Anzhen smiled angrily: "Xiao Yuxuan, why didn't I realize that you are so shameless before?"
Chapter completed!
