Chapter 391: Ways to teach children a lesson
"I……"

Looking at Zhao Youzhen with obscure eyes, Han Yi opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.

Is the person you're asking this question really Mick Jagger?

Why does it feel like it means something else?

But... no matter what her intentions are, just pretend that you don't know anything and answer honestly and literally.

Sincerity is not only a nirvana, but sometimes it is also a protective shield.

"If it were up to me, I would definitely choose the first way. I won't give him the satisfaction no pun intended." Han Yi spread his hands, apologized for the vulgar pun he had inadvertently said, and then continued Said, "After all, the fact that he chose to deal with the problem in this way is a good illustration of his immaturity."

"He's... immature." Madison covered her mouth and nose with her hands and couldn't help laughing. "Sorry, I understand what you mean. I just think that a child who has just reached the legal drinking age is talking about an old man in his seventies. It’s immature and really funny.”

"He is a child." Barbara raised her index finger and pointed it at Maddie, not missing any opportunity to tease the latter, "Then what are you?"

"Minors." Madison pursed her lips and smiled, and replied calmly and calmly, "Before March 3 next year."

"When I say immature, I mean in terms of interpersonal interactions and business negotiations."

"Mick has never held any management position in his life, and has never even been on the jury of a music award ceremony. I believe you all know what this means when he has spent all of his fifty-year career on the stage. "

A layer of fine beads of sweat really broke out on Han Yi's forehead, maybe it was really because of the pleasant weather of 90 degrees Fahrenheit at the moment, which converted to about 27 degrees Celsius.

Han Yi sighed in his heart.

On the one hand, they watched the battle between Maddie and Barbie with great interest. If there was a place selling popcorn in the booth area, then Xiaoru and Youzhen should have a big bucket of popcorn each, holding them in their arms and chewing it extremely sweet.

Fine.

"Of course." Barbara Pavin glanced at Madison one last time, and then turned her attention back to Han Yi, "You are right, these big shots who have been famous for a long time, especially those who have been famous for a long time, do not need to negotiate and socialize by themselves. Big shots are particularly immature in their dealings with others. They feel that pressure is the best way to deal with differences and strive for benefits. As long as they show their unhappiness, the partners should make concessions. This is what happens on the Hollywood stage. A sign of being spoiled behind the curtain.”

"A delusional world." Madison nodded and said in a long tone, "What kind of world does a model who grew up in a studio live in? A flat world?"

"I'm not looking at you." Barbara's mouth curved slightly, "I'm just talking about those musicians who live in a delusional world and have not been exposed to reality since childhood."

Seeing that Barbara's expression was stern and she opened her mouth to continue to strengthen Maddie, Han Yi quickly took over the conversation.

On the other hand, the two people's playful banter was mixed with a bit of anger that was not very obvious but was getting stronger.

After all, melons are delicious, but this melon field...shouldn't it belong to them?

"you……"

Looking at this situation, it is impossible for them to intervene in mediation. Don't join in and escalate this altercation into a world war in a public place.

"It means that he is naive, arrogant, self-centered, has a very bad temper, does not know how to consider others, does not understand what kind of communication method should be used with whom on any occasion, and does not know what empathy is..." Overall, basic social skills are lacking.”

“Can we focus on the most immediate subject first?”

He turned his eyes for help to Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen, but found that the two girls' expressions at this moment were very subtle and complicated.

"Everyone, can we first..."

Two giers sneaked in to bite melons in the dark and windy night. They were fighting among themselves because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. It would be better to pierce each other with a fork as soon as possible.

"Why are you looking at me when you say that?"

Barbara's glance, intentionally or unintentionally, made Madison feel an unknown fire in her heart. Since entering Hollywood, her mood swings have not been as violent as today.

"The T stage can also have the same effect." Madison was not to be outdone.

"This is the case in any closed social circle." Zhao Youzhen made an incisive summary, "High school bullies will most likely be educated by reality after entering society."

"Because reality has deprived them of the power to take and take away." Xu Yiru raised her index finger and added, "And this is the best way to reason with children."

"Take them to jail," Madison agreed. "Let them see that there are bigger and badder bastards in this world."

"What you guys said is exactly what I want to do."

Han Yi nodded slightly and smiled. The four girls are all extremely smart, with quick thinking and clear logic. Everyone, including Madison Beer, who seems to have the most debuff, can quickly keep up with Han Yi's rhythm. With just a little guidance, you can deeply understand his plans and intentions.

If five people can form a team, the work efficiency should be quite high...

If they are not love rivals.

"I will use my actions to prove to Mick Jagger that I am a bigger and badder bastard than him." Han Yi clenched his left hand into a fist and stretched out his thumb and index finger. "I will also use The action revealed to him the fact that he was not the only child in this family, and his parents did not need to love him alone. There were definitely people living in such a big villa who were more well-behaved, more sensible, and more willing to cooperate with their parents than him, so they were more attractive. Value children.”

"So you really treat him as a child." Barbara giggled.

"Still your child." Madison puffed up her cheeks.

"I admit, it's really funny." Zhao Youzhen couldn't help laughing.

"Still a little disgusting." Xu Yiru pursed her lips tightly and frowned slightly, "A seventy-three-year-old child."

"yes……"

"I told you before, he has some quirks."

"Didn't you start making this analogy first?" Han Yi spread his hands helplessly and innocently, without much argument. After all, it is much better for them to make fun of him than to fight each other, "But you are right, I really treat him as a child...a child who needs to learn about the dangers of the world."

"What are you going to do?" Xiaoru asked. "He will still be our child. Although he did not behave well today, I will not let anyone take him back to their home. After all, no matter what, he is a child prodigy that attracts worldwide attention."

"Stop using children as metaphors...it's so weird."

"Okay." Han Yi laughed twice, and he felt more and more uncomfortable as he spoke, "What I want to say is that no matter what, the copyright library of Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones has unparalleled value. I don't think so." Perhaps because of the blunt negotiation method he used, he gave away such a treasure. Even though Han Music is the only one doing the acquisition of musician copyrights, when our first acquisition is completed and it is reported in the press, there will definitely be more. Many investors with a keen sense of smell follow up and want a piece of the pie... So, no matter what, I will leave an important position for him in our music copyright management fund. "

"But not necessarily the chairman of the advisory committee?" Barbara interjected.

"The chairman must be the chairman. I have just said so much, you should be able to feel that Jagger is a person who attaches great importance to status and figure. It is absolutely impossible for him to be inferior to others... There are only a few people who can suppress his name. He is a superstar and has had conflicts with him that have not been resolved for decades.

"Paul McCartney."

"Yes, with him as the representative." Han Yi nodded, "And it's impossible for me to ask McCartney to participate in this fund. The Beatles' copyright can never be sold, and they manage themselves very well. Than Compared to Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney is a much more successful businessman... and more importantly, he will file a lawsuit early next year to get back the first batch of song copyrights from Sony/ATV ”

"How do you know he will file a lawsuit early next year?" Madison's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"The 1976 Copyright Act allows songwriters to reclaim their full share from the copyright issuer after two 28-year periods - only for works released before 1978, which happens to be all of the Beatles' songs. And was released before 1978. Their first album "Please Please Me" was created on September 1962, 9, two 11 years ago..."

Han Yi deliberately left it blank, giving Madison Beal a chance to show off his mathematical abilities.

"that is……"

Madison Beer lived up to expectations and showed off her superb arithmetic skills under the double debuff of a child star + an American - as mentioned just now, today's Las Vegas is only 27 degrees Celsius, which is considered to be quite comfortable weather, but it is far away from her Recently, Zhao Youzhen could still see his poor little musician Tianling Gai smoking.

Five or six seconds have passed, and I still haven't figured out how much two 28 equals.

"September 2018, 9." Barbara proved the relative superiority of basic education in Eastern Europe with practical actions. This time, Madison just shrank her neck and muttered a few words, not daring to argue with the Hungarian supermodel again, " It takes a year and a half to apply for termination, right?”

"Two years in advance." Han Yi looked at Barbara with unabashed appreciation. A pure layman in the music industry could analyze the general legal provisions from the time when Paul McCartney filed the lawsuit. , I have to say it is something worthy of admiration, "The 1976 Copyright Act stipulates that creators need to apply to recover music copyright two years in advance, and the copyright distribution company cannot refuse."

"Then why go to court?"

"Because the law is used to exploit loopholes." Han Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because Paul McCartney is British and the Beatles are a British band, the copyright distribution agreement they signed should fall within the jurisdiction of British copyright law." Han Yi explained carefully, "Duran Duran's situation is similar . They also made a request to recover the copyright, which was directly rejected by Sony. Now the two parties are fighting a lawsuit in the British High Court. If nothing happens, Duran Duran will lose the case directly, because there are no post-56 creators in the British copyright law. The copyright clause can be withdrawn directly.”

"So Duran Duran and the Beatles are both using US copyright law to violate British copyright law." Xu Yiru speculated while thinking seriously.

"Yes."

"This is the main reason why Yoko Ono reached a settlement agreement with Sony in 2009, right?" Although she has entered the music industry, she does not have a professional background after all, and the fields she is responsible for are also different. In terms of knowledge accumulation of music copyright, Zhao Youzhen is still far behind her employer. Therefore, every time Han Yi talked about topics related to the Copyright Act, she listened extremely carefully.

"It's difficult to win on the one hand, and on the other hand the expiration date of John Lennon's copyright share." Han Yi explained, "It's also a provision in the Copyright Act of 1976 that if the creator first If he dies within the first 28-year period, his estate heirs can directly send a letter to the copyright issuing company requesting to take back the copyright without waiting for the second 28-year period. Lennon's death year is 1980. The expiration date of his copyright was advanced to 1990. Therefore, the agreement you read in 2009 was actually reached by Yoko Ono in 1990. "

"She just extended Sony's copyright management period?" Madison was also fascinated by it. After all, this was the secret secret of her favorite band.

"There is no extension, it just allows Sony/ATV to continue to manage Lennon's share of the Beatles copyright library in accordance with the original agreement until the 70th year after the owner's death - for John Lennon, that is 2050 Year."

"Is she doing this to get back at the band?" Maddie asked.

"I don't know, but it looks like this." Han Yi shrugged, "There's no way Yoko Ono doesn't know how angry Paul McCartney is about Michael Jackson packaging his music rights to Sony."

"Fucking Ono." Madison bit her lower lip, "All obstacles are always related to her."

"Excuse me, why are you looking at me when you say this?" Barbara glared.

"You can experience it yourself."

"Okay." Han Yi clasped his hands together awkwardly and put them to his lips. The cruel reality that no matter what we talked about would end up getting burned in the end, he couldn’t help but feel numb. “Getting back to the subject, the Beatles’ music copyright belongs to McCartney. The first batch will expire in 2018, and the last batch will expire in 2026.” The expiration date is 100, which means that during this period, regardless of whether McCartney can win or not, and whether he can get the copyright back, he will not be able to focus on other things. The issue of selling the copyright, because if he can get 50% of it back, then he will definitely set up a special copyright distribution company to manage it himself. If he loses the lawsuit and cannot get it back, even for the sake of face, he will not be able to sell it. He will package and sell % of his share to us, otherwise the public will think that he is just for money and does not care about the ownership of the copyright. "

"So the path of Paul McCartney is unavailable. In the rock music industry, there is basically no one who can stabilize Mick Jagger... It seems that I can't find him." Xu Yiru raised her own question, "Then what are you going to do? To teach him a lesson? Is it to make Dr. Dre the co-chairman?”

"He doesn't care about Dr. Dre at all. Things in the hip-hop industry have nothing to do with him." Han Yi pursed his lips and replied, "No matter how many Dr. Dre serve as chairman, they won't affect him. All I can think of is The only way is to whet his appetite and delay his entry into our foundation - I can't let him not enter, nor can I let him enter early. Before that, I need to find one or more billboard musicians to work with. When they reach a cooperation, it would be best if one of them replaces Mick Jagger and becomes a founding partner of the foundation with a small stake. This is a way to show Mick Jagger that we appreciate you. We want you, but we don’t have to."

"It's like cutting him from the pillar of the foundation to the cherry on top of the cake." Barbara analyzed.

"That's right. It would be best to spend all the foundation's first investment of one billion pounds next year. Buy more copyrights, try to buy as big a copyright as possible, and let Mick Jagger and his Rolling Stones Before joining, our music rights management fund was a hot topic on everyone’s lips.”

"So...is there anyone chosen?" Zhao Youzhen asked softly, "I seem...I haven't heard you mention it."

"The reason you didn't hear me mention it is... I really haven't found the right candidate yet." Han Yi spread his hands and smiled brightly at the four girls, "I will definitely find the right candidate, that's for sure. I'm not worried, but... you also know that Han Music is a start-up company, and we are currently working with new generation musicians. Except for Dr. Dre, there is no one who is willing..."

"I have."

Before Han Yi could finish speaking, Madison raised his hand and interrupted the former's statement.

"what do you have?"

"I have the right person."

Madison looked around and smiled confidently.

“A guy who’s working on a single with me.”

"Stevie Nicks."
