    "Xiaoxia, the contracts between actors and singers are actually similar. The only difference is the ownership of the copyright of the songs." Wang Xiaoming first sent a voice message, and then sent an electronic document.

    "This is the singer's version, take a look first."

    "OK."

    Xia Fan clicked on a new electronic contract and browsed it carefully.

    The contents of the contract are indeed similar, except for some divisions in terms of song copyright.

    Song copyright is divided into two types: pure singer and original singer.

    ¡°I am the original singer!¡±

    Xia Fan did not hesitate and naturally skipped the pure singer column, staring blankly at the "original singer" column.

    The original singer¡¯s song copyright issues: lyrics account for 30%, music accounts for 35%, and arrangement accounts for 35%.

    There is no doubt that for a song, the music and arrangement are more important than the words.  For example, in another time and space, many Chinese people are keen to listen to English, Japanese, and even Korean songs, and they listen to the music and accompaniment. Who will listen to the lyrics?

    However,

    Because Chinese writing is extensive and profound, beautiful words can often play a finishing touch to a song. Therefore, in the copyright of Chinese songs, words account for 30%, while in English songs, the proportion of copyright in words is far less.  to 30%.

    "I don't know how to arrange music. If I write lyrics and music myself, I can get 65% of the copyright for a song!"

    Xia Fan is still very satisfied with this proportion.

    However, there is another question that makes Xia Fan more tangled: For example, in some commercial performances that include singing, how should the performance be divided?

    Whether it is based on the thirty-seven percent stipulated in the contract, or whether it is 65% for Xia Fan and 35% for the company according to the song copyright agreement, this must be explained in advance.

    He then looked down and finally saw the relevant regulations:

    50-50!

    As long as the commercial performance includes singing and the song is written and composed by Xia Fan himself, the remuneration will be split 50-50.

    If he only writes lyrics or composes music, the former will be divided into 35% and 65%, and the latter will be divided into 40% and 65%.

    Xia Fan smiled slightly after seeing this and skipped it

    He is a versatile singer-songwriter!

    Xia Fan silently opened a password-protected electronic document in a corner of his laptop, which was filled with densely packed lyrics.

    It is impossible for a musician in this time and space to restore the original music score to the lyrics he wrote.

    "It seems that the other party is really sincere!"

    Xia Fan reciprocated the favor and replied: "Brother Xiaoming, there is no problem with the contract. I agree. I will let the musicians in the company complete the arrangement of the two songs I have."

    "What kind of man" and "I love you China" in his hands could have been arranged by an independent music studio outside, and then bought out in one go, so that Xia Fan could own the complete copyright of these two songs.

    He is considered to be a favor to the new owner, which can also improve his living environment in the new owner to a certain extent in the future.

    Wang Xiaoming naturally disdains the arrangement copyright of just two songs, but he still appreciates Xia Fan's high emotional intelligence behavior.

    When he reaches this position, he is very willing to explore potential newcomers and enjoys the feeling of being a boss.

    In the near future, Xia Fan should be the newcomer that satisfies him the most.

    "Xiaoxia, this contract is the best newcomer contract in Times Entertainment. If you perform well and trigger certain incentive clauses, you can convert it to a regular contract at any time."

    "The remaining 8 years of the contract is indeed a bit long, but this is the standard term for many newcomers in the industry. The original term was longer than ten years, and these 8 years were fought for by the Artists Association. I am just a person in Times Entertainment  For small shareholders, if the age limit is set too low, it will be difficult for the company to pass the test."

    Xia Fan also replied wisely: 8 years is acceptable, and the company must have a cycle in cultivating artists.

    He still has many questions in his mind, such as whether the company positions himself as a pure singer, whether he should run variety shows, or whether he should act.

    If you want to act, do you want to do a kissing scene?  Is the kissing scene with a man or a woman?  Well, it seems like I¡¯m thinking too far ahead

    ¡°But Xia Fan really doesn¡¯t want to waste her first kiss on acting, it¡¯s not worth it.

    These details should wait until the contract is signed in person.

    When Xia Fan was thinking about these messy things, Wang Xiaoming sent another message.

      "Xiaoxia, I'm wondering if I can help you sign a contract to build momentum."

    "Building momentum, how to build momentum?" Xia Fan was confused after seeing this sentence.

    "If I win the championship tonight, I will announce that you have signed with our company during the award presentation. This will be considered as building momentum for you."

    As a big name in the industry and a top-tier artist, Wang Xiaoming knows how to choose the right time to hype without causing public resentment.

    "ThisBrother Xiaoming, there is no problem with me, but with Tianhai Entertainment? After all, the contract has not been terminated yet."

    ¡°This is simply a blatant mockery of Tianhai Entertainment.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, the competition in this circle is so cruel, it¡¯s the same between artists, it¡¯s the same between companies, you have to get used to it.¡±

    There are some cases where artists and companies break up decently, and there are also cases where they are torn apart, and Xia Fan obviously belongs to the latter.

    If the other party is aggressive, why should you swallow your anger? You have to fight back when you should, so as not to make others easy to bully.

    There are people in the entertainment industry who get offended by pretending to be an honest person, but no one who is popular is really an honest person.

    ¡°Then I can only wish brother Xiaoming a successful victory in the championship.¡±

    After Xia Fan finished his last sentence, he opened the webpage and checked some news.

    What Wang Xiaoming mentioned just now, "The new artist's contract was originally 10 years, but due to the struggle of the Artists Association, it became 8 years" aroused his interest.

    This parallel time and space seems to be very different. For example, those competitive variety shows are all broadcast live, just like sports competitions.  After all, for the audience, a variety show competition that already has results is unattractive to re-editing and then showing it again.

    "Chinese Artists Association." After Xia Fan entered these words, he pressed the search key and quickly browsed all the relevant news.

    It turns out that Wang Xiaoming is the vice president of the "Chinese Artists Association". A few years ago, the Artists Association had a tug-of-war with major entertainment companies, and the maximum contract period for artists was changed from 10 years to 8 years.

    At that time, Wang Xiaoming was one of the initiators of the negotiation.

    Although the exploitation in this circle is still very serious, the existence of the "Chinese Artists Association" has more or less protected some of the interests of the artists.

    Xia Fan glanced at the time: 19:55.

    The final battle of "Lang Ge" is about to begin. At this moment, he wants the leader to win the championship more than anyone else.
