Chapter 56 Copyright Ownership
"Mr. Wu, in fact, you can just ask the staff to contact me about this matter, why come here in person?"

Lu Fan was polite, but having said that, the headquarters of Penguin Music is in Pengcheng, and Wu Xinlin, as the music director, appeared in Hongcheng at this moment. If he came here specifically for Lu Fan, then he would really value him more.

Wu Xinlin sat across from Lu Fan, took a sip of tea, and said, "The staff have some things that are unclear, I think it's better for me to tell you in person.

Besides, you are so popular recently, there must be other music companies calling you, right? "

He has a more forthright temperament, so he didn't beat around the bush when he spoke, but directly said the matter.

Lao Zhang has already said that Tianyu's Lao Wang also entrusted Lao Zhang to sign Lu Fan.

Moreover, Lao Zhang may not be able to help. Which record company Lu Fan wants to sign with is his own business, and no one can make the decision.

Wu Xinlin really took a fancy to Lu Fan, so he flew over from Pengcheng himself, wanting to talk to Lu Fan face to face.

"Yes, Lijin and Tianyu both called, and I think the conditions offered are okay, but I don't want to sign a contract with them." Lu Fan replied.

Wu Xinlin was overjoyed on the spot. Judging from this situation, the talks between the other two companies and Lu Fan should not be very smooth!

"Then you sign a contract with Penguin directly, I believe I won't be misjudged, you joined Penguin Entertainment, you definitely have the opportunity to show your strengths.

And Penguin Entertainment is not just as simple as making records, there are also directors and actors under it. In the future, if you have achieved success in music, you can also follow the path of an actor. "

This is the advantage of Penguin Entertainment. With money and traffic, it is indeed faster to develop as an artist than others.

Lu Fan said: "Mr. Wu, I don't think too much about it for the time being. As long as I can sing well, I will be satisfied. As for acting, filming, etc., I am not a professional graduate."

"Hey, we have so many film kings who made their debut halfway through Huaxia, don't they just graduate from professional courses? You look good, as long as you put in a little hard work, there's nothing wrong with being an actor.

The topic is far away, we will talk about these things later, as long as you agree to join Penguin Music, I can assure you that you will get more resources than ordinary newcomers.

I agreed with the above, the signing fee is 480 million a year, a total of 5 years, during which all commercial income will be divided into [-]-[-], but all your music copyrights must belong to Penguin Music. "

As a rookie, Wu Xinlin helped Lu Fan obtain this kind of condition, which is really good.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, the current Lu Fan is indeed just an Internet celebrity singer who suddenly became popular. Whether he will continue to be popular in the future, no one can say for sure.

Penguin's benefits are similar to Tianyu's, that is, the annual signing fee is about 180 million more, and the contract period has become five years, but it also requires all of Lu Fan's music copyrights, which belong to them for the rest of their lives.

Ah!
After Lu Fan listened to it, he shook his head secretly in his heart. It seems that the world is as black as crows, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

Several million a year sounds good, but every zb company is not doing charity, they do it, and there is a reason why they do it.

If during these ten years, one of Lu Fan's songs suddenly became popular, became a phenomenon-level work, or became a golden song in everyone's eyes, then the 2400 million signing fee would be considered a return.

In China, it is possible to earn [-] million yuan for a song. As long as zb artists firmly hold the copyright of these works, they will not suffer in the long run.

Looking at it the other way around, now only Lijin Records' conditions are more in line with Lu Fan's requirements.

The contract period is relatively short compared to these two record companies, and the record company has the right to use the copyright of Lu Fan's songs only during the validity period of the contract.

If the contract expires and Lu Fan no longer chooses to renew the contract with them, then Li Jin has no right to use Lu Fan's songs anymore.

Wu Xinlin saw that Lu Fan had been silent, and knew that he must be dissatisfied with certain things in the contract, so he said: "Of course, this is the condition given by the upper management. If you still feel dissatisfied, just It can be brought up."

Wu Xinlin smiled and said, "Since I am here in person this time, you can ask for anything you want, and if I can agree, I will definitely agree."

Since Wu Xinlin said so, Lu Fan said directly what he was dissatisfied with: "Mr. Wu, the contract period is too long, and your company wants the permanent copyright of my music, I can't agree."

Lu Fan still said the same thing, he doesn't care about the signing fee now, as long as he can become famous, it will definitely be easy to make money in the future.

Besides, for Lu Fan and his family, there seems to be no big difference between 1000 million and [-] million.

——Anyway, according to their living habits, they can't use it up in a lifetime.

Lu Fan only valued two points, the contract period and copyright ownership.

Wu Xinlin didn't pretend to be embarrassed after hearing this, and said to Lu Fan: "Lu Fan, I came here today just to sign you.

Mainly where I can call the shots, I will definitely agree to your conditions.You said the contract period is too long, we can renegotiate.

But the issue of copyright ownership, this is the rule since the establishment of the company, not just you, everyone is like this, this one cannot be changed. "

Lu Fan also replied very seriously: "Mr. Wu, I am actually very satisfied with the conditions given by Lijin and Tianyu, the only thing is that the copyright ownership and the contract period are too long for me to accept.

First of all, thank you for coming to have an interview with me in person, but I really cannot accept these two things, if not, then forget it. "

Zhang Haoning sat next to him and didn't open his mouth all the time. Seeing that the two of them couldn't continue talking, he said, "Lu Fan, the current market is like this. Both Lijin and Tianyu have called you, so you must know it too."

Lu Fan nodded and said: "Director Zhang, Mr. Wu, thank you both for your appreciation, but I really can't accept this kind of condition. If all my music copyrights belong to Penguin Entertainment permanently in the next five years, I can only say Sorry."

Wu Xinlin's face was full of disappointment. He has served as the music director since the establishment of Penguin Entertainment, and he knew that all conditions were negotiable, except for the issue of copyright ownership, the company would never give in.

Unless you post it directly on Huaxia Music Network and become an independent musician, everything has nothing to do with Penguin Entertainment and is only released through this platform.

"Is there no room for us to negotiate? We can talk about the price."

Wu Xinlin was really optimistic about Lu Fan, that's why he came here from Pengcheng himself.

"Mr. Wu, I'm really sorry."

 After the exam, I hope all the candidates can have good grades and be admitted to the school of their choice.

  Don't learn from Lu Fan and become a star without reading a book.

  because
  Not everyone is as handsome as him!
