264【Music Contract】
I visited Disneyland and didn't go back to the hotel together until I watched the last fireworks show.
"Oh, I'm so tired that my legs are broken." Xia Xue gently beat her legs and pouted her mouth and said coquettishly.
"After going back, put a jar of hot water and take a hot bath, and it will be much more comfortable." Xia Tian taught her.
I used to practice martial arts with my master Tang family, which was much more tiring than this. After each martial arts practice, my master would take him to the bathroom to take a bath. I soaked in the hot pool to let the blood circulate and I would lose any fatigue.
"Yeah." Xia Xue nodded.
When I returned to the hotel, I helped my little sister put the hot water in Xiatian, "Okay, put the hot water in it, go take a bath."
"Oh!" Xia Xue nodded and went into the bathroom to take a bath.
I looked at my watch in summer. It was now ten o'clock in the evening. According to the time difference, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon in Hong Kong.
He picked up the phone and called to Hong Kong.
"Hello!"
"Brother Tian, it's me!" Chen Yixin smiled, "Lawyer Feng has helped you find the information."
"Oh, so fast! Okay, let me tell you!" Xia Tian nodded.
"It's like this. Lawyer Feng said that there are roughly two types of cooperative relationships between musicians and music distribution companies. One is the single form, which means that only one song or several songs are authorized to the music distribution company; the other is the exclusive form, during the contract period, all the songs created, whether good or bad, belong to the music distribution company." Chen Yixin briefly introduced.
"Lawyer Feng suggested that you should choose the first one. Because the second type of cooperation requires several years of contract signing, and a certain amount of works must be completed every year, otherwise the contract period will continue to be extended, which will be very troublesome at that time."
Xia Tian nodded. Hearing Chen Yixin say this, he himself thought it would be better to work together in "single form". Because in addition to writing English songs, he also writes some Chinese songs. If these songs are also taken away by record companies, it would be too troublesome.
"Lawyer Feng also gave her classmates in the United States contact information, saying that if you need it, you can call her." Chen Yixin said again.
Xia Tian nodded, "I get it."
"Also, I've asked for you, and that James is right. If a musician authorizes his work to a record company, the copyright does not belong to him. If you want to reclaim the copyright, you must wait thirty-five years before you can file for the reclaim. And you have to issue a termination application to the record company ten years in advance." Chen Yixin said again.
"Damn!" Xia Tian heard this and Sparta. This is his damn law! It will take thirty-five years to recover the copyright?! How old was he at that time?!
"But what James didn't tell you is that many musicians will get an objective advance when handing over songs to record companies. Unless they are companies with particularly financial difficulties, most of them will give musicians a sum of money, which may be up to 500,000 US dollars." Chen Yixin said again. "But this money is just an advance payment. In the future, if your songs make money, the record company will deduct it again."
"Damn, it's so dark!" Xia Tian couldn't help but curse when he heard this.
The record companies are all making money by themselves. They can still use their songs for nothing without spending a penny. No wonder American record companies are so profitable, and they make a lot of money by just this move.
"Brother Tian, I guess that James just wants to take your song for nothing. As long as you sign a contract, that song will be his. He has the final say whether it is released or not. Not only will you lose the song, but you may not make a penny." Chen Yixin said again.
Xia Tian nodded, and he understood at this moment. Fortunately, he was smart and not fooled by that bastard James. Otherwise, if he signed the contract in a confused manner, the matter would be very big.
"Okay, I understand." Xia Tian said, "Is there anything else?"
"No more, Brother Tian. By the way, are you having fun in the United States with Xiaoxue?" Chen Yixin asked curiously again.
"Happy! I haven't been to Disneyland before, and I really can't understand that kind of fun." Xia Tian smiled, "I thought only children would like to go to Disney to play. Today I realized that there are more adults than children."
"It's so good. I want to accompany you." Chen Yixin said enviously when he heard this.
"It's okay, it's the same for you next time. Xiaoxue and I took a lot of photos and went back to show you." Xia Tian smiled again.
"Yeah." Chen Yixin nodded.
...
"Brother, it's so comfortable to take a hot bath." Xia Xue walked in with a bathrobe, wiped her hair, and said wet.
She was originally very beautiful, but now she looks like a lotus that is even more innocent than before.
"It's comfortable! Okay, blow dry your hair and go to bed early." Xia Tian nodded and said, "I'll have a room, too."
The brother and sister opened two rooms, but there was a door in the middle that could be opened.
"I can't brag myself, brother, can you help me blow it?" Xia Xue pouted.
"Oh, please!" Xia Tian shook his head and connected the power to the hair dryer, then took the comb, and combed her hair while blowing the air.
"Brother, do you still remember that when you were a child, you helped me dry my hair." Xia Xue suddenly said with a smile.
"How long ago did that happen? I forgot it." Xia Tian smiled.
"I've always remembered it, anyway." Xia Xueze said.
Xia Tian smiled slightly, "You have a good memory."
"Of course, I remember everything I had when I was a child very clearly." Xia Xue nodded and said, "At that time, my dad was busy filming and didn't stay at home all day. If you weren't your elder brother, you would take care of me, I would have been no longer alive. How could I forget this kindness?"
"Nonsense." Xia Tian paused his hand and then laughed.
"It's not nonsense. I will remember it for the rest of my life." Xia Xueze said, "By the way, brother, have you ever seen my mother again?"
Xia Tian's body stiffened, "No." He shook his head and said, "I'll ask her what she's doing."
"Do you think she knows that you are so amazing now?" Xia Xue asked again.
"Who knows, maybe she doesn't remember her son, I." Xia Tian thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"If she knew that you were so promising now, I wonder if she would regret it?" Xia Xue sighed again.
Xia Tian smiled coldly, "Will a woman who is as ruthless as her regret it?! She is not even as good as a beast, so how can she have human feelings?"
"If she is willing to repent, will you forgive her like she is forgiving her dad?" Xia Xue asked again.
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, "Little sister, why are you weird today? What are you talking about that woman doing?"
He has always been most disgusted with someone talking about his mother, and he turns his back on him as soon as he mentions it. If the person who talks today is not a little sister, even Wang Xiaoxian, he would not be able to give face.
People have reverse scales, and they don’t want people to touch them. My mother is the deepest wound in Xia Tian’s heart. It’s okay if you don’t touch them, but it hurts your heart when you touch them.
"Ah, it's okay, I'm curious, I'll ask a few more questions." Xia Xue waved her hand quickly.
"Oh, don't think about it all right, go back to your room to rest. If you have something to call me, I'll be next to you!" Xia Tian nodded and said, "Okay, my hair is dry!"
"Oh." Xia Xue nodded thoughtfully.
...
After getting up early and having breakfast, Xia Tian and Xia Xue went to Hollywood.
Hollywood is just outside Los Angeles. It is the center of global film and the highest palace of film art. It attracts people from all over the world who have dreams and want to become famous in one fell swoop.
Not to mention anything else, there are so many beautiful girls on the road! Everyone needs to have a figure, look, and temperament. It is like cabbage in the vegetable market for you to choose at will.
Summer originally thought that there were enough beauties in the Hong Kong film industry. In the golden age, every actress was so outstanding, she was so beautiful and beautiful.
But when he came to the streets of Hollywood, he still felt that his figure was broken. At first glance, there were many people with their appearance that were no less than Wang Xiaoxian.
Of course, foreign girls have three-dimensional facial features and plump figures, so they are born with an advantage. However, one disadvantage is that they age faster, basically mature at the age of fourteen or five, and they will grow old quickly after they are twenty-five.
I have also come into contact with some foreign girls before summer. I was shocked when I looked at the photos, but when I came into contact with real people, I didn’t have the special effects of PS, and I found my true colors like a fairy. The skin should be as rough as it should be, the wrinkles should be as deep as it should be, the makeup should be as thick as it should be, and the body odor is relatively heavy. There is generally body odor, which can be covered by spraying a lot of perfume.
"Just looking at these beauties, you can tell how great the potential of Hollywood is." Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh.
In Hollywood, even a passerby beauty is so eye-catching. Compared with the most beautiful actresses in Hong Kong, are those famous actresses worth it?!
Summer still remembers that in the 1980s, the most popular female star in Hollywood, Brooke Silk, was once regarded as the standard of beauty in the 1980s, and was even known as the "Eighth Miracle in the World". Her beauty can be imagined.
With such a huge talent pool, it is no wonder that Hollywood has always stood firm.
Because movies are human art, only with enough talents can good movies be made.
The reason why Hong Kong movies emerged before was because a large number of talents returned to Hong Kong to develop after they were completed overseas. For example, Mai Jia and Xu Ke from the Seven Monsters of the New Art City, Fang Yuping, who won the Best Director at the Three-time Academy Awards, filmed the immigration trilogy "Illegal Immigration", "Fairy Tales in Autumn", and "Eight Tales of Gold" Luo Qirui, Zhang Wan-seong and others.
The Xinlangchao Film Movement initiated by these talents has promoted the transformation and development of Hong Kong films and laid the foundation for the rise of Hong Kong films.
