Chapter 1211: Purchase copyright

Soon, Guo Yan was immersed in this music feast. Music masters such as Bernstein, Yo-Yo Ma, Catherine-Stott, etc. appeared one after another and presented a classic track for them. The audience was enchanted; the performance After the end, they called the curtain three times in a row, and the applause gradually stopped.
Until I returned home, Guo Yan was still immersed in today's performance, "Qi Ming, I have seen today, what level of the world's top musicians, we are really far away."
Apart from the excitement, Guo Yan began to worry again. The level of others has reached this level. It is difficult for Qi to want to enter the Carnegie Hall to perform?
"Don't worry, although my playing skills may be difficult to catch up with Ma Youyou, it is not only the performers who can enter the Carnegie Hall." Shen Long is full of confidence, he has collected so many classic works of later generations There is no need to worry about the success of these things.
"We will take a day off tomorrow, and we will continue to work the day after tomorrow." After talking, Shen Long went back to the bedroom and lay down. Now Guo Yan's mood is still caught in the shock of the performance. I'm afraid I can't calm down tomorrow. Under such circumstances There is no way to perform well.
The next day they planned to go shopping in Chinatown. They didn't expect to receive a phone call from Ma Youyou in the morning and said they would visit the door, so they had to change their itinerary. Guo Yan hurried to buy some vegetables and prepared to entertain you at home. .
At the agreed time, Ma Youyou came with a gift, along with his agent. At first glance, it was this combination, and Shen Long probably guessed the purpose of their trip.
Sure enough, after eating, Ma Youyou's agent, Ms. Banana, like Shen Long made a request, "Dear Mr. Wang, YO-YO likes your work very much, he hopes to get your authorization to play this Two songs. "
"Of course, I am honored to be recognized by Mr. Ma." Shen Long agreed readily, and he took out these two songs for this.
"So, we will make an appointment. You will bring your lawyer, and then we will sign the contract." Banana thought that it would take some tongue to get the copyright, but did not expect the other party to agree so simply.
After Ma Youyou and Banana left, Guo Yan was a little curious, "Why do you need to bring a lawyer to sign the contract? Attorney fees are so expensive, can't we just sign it?"
"That won't work. The economic benefits involved here are too much. The United States is not domestic. Everyone can use the written tunes; as long as the contract is signed, Ma Youyou will be able to release the album and hold music. It ’s okay, as long as I use these two songs, I have to give me money!
Copyright income is a long-term thing. A classic song can bring generous benefits to the composer. In order to avoid future disputes, it takes a little legal fees. what?
Then Shen Long popularized Guo Yan with relevant knowledge. In the United States, composers generally have a variety of copyrights. The first is to copy royalties mechanically. As long as the music company uses your songs, every time a cassette or disc is produced, Records are required to pay the author 0.99 yuan of income for a song, which is also the main income of the song author.
The sales volume of classical music records is certainly not as good as that of popular music. However, the sales cycle of classical music records is longer and accumulated over a long period of time is also a considerable income.
In addition, there are public broadcasting rights. Whether they are in shopping malls or radio and television stations, as long as they broadcast your work, they must pay you.
Simultaneously license copyrights. If a movie producer, TV studio, advertising production company, or other individual or organization wants to use a musical work for a TV show, movie, or advertising production, then they must pay the corresponding fee to Obtain authorization; according to different circumstances, the cost of each authorization is probably between several hundred to tens of thousands.
Mechanical synchronization copyright, toy companies, game production companies, etc. When synchronizing musical works to toys, games, cards and large-scale copy production, composers can also obtain mechanical synchronization royalties from them, charging different fees according to different situations; printing For copyright, some companies want to print and publish music scores, lyrics, and melody notes or print them on clothes. They need to pay 15% of the retail price to the author as royalties.
The share of performance income, if Ma Youyou or others play the two songs written by Shen Long in their concert, they must pay royalties to Shen Long according to the scale and income of the concert.
Shen Long estimates that Ma Youyou ’s agent should talk to herself about the copyright sharing of records and performances. These two have corresponding regulations, and there will not be too many problems. Just ask an ordinary lawyer.
With the help of Boris and others, Shen Long found a lawyer who was good at music copyright contracts, went to Ma Youyou's studio at the agreed time, and successfully signed the contract. Shen Long deliberately asked himself within the scope of the prescribed permission The share ratio was adjusted to the lowest.
This is not just to thank Youyou Ma, but more importantly, he knows that his tune can only be known to more people in a short period of time before he can start his reputation and bring more benefits.
You made a profit on Ma Youyou's side, but as long as Ma Youyou can quickly get started with these tunes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to start playing in concerts, or make it into record sales, more people will hear their own tune If there are more people, you can consider the income of public broadcasting copyright, synchronous license copyright, and mechanical synchronous copyright.
"Happy cooperation!" Both parties signed their names on the contract, and then picked up the champagne that had been prepared to celebrate, Shen Long took a solid step towards Carnegie Hall.
After the contract was signed, Ma Youyou did not immediately let Shen Long leave. He still needs to continue to exchange these two songs with Shen Long, and how to use the of Erhu to play the cello.
So Shen Long and Guo Yan stayed in Ma Youyou ’s studio for a few days. Shen Long came over every day to communicate with Ma Youyou and instruct him to play fingering. Sometimes Guo Yan also joined the communication, and both of them could I feel that Ma Youyou has a lot of interest in China's traditional national musical instruments.
Guo Yan and Shen Long will even be invited to play pipa, erhu and other national musical instruments for him. An outstanding musician will never pretend to be pretentious. They are both good at absorbing nutrients from different music.
During this period of time, their relationship has made great progress, so after the guidance, Ma Youyou invited them to be guests in their own homes.
