Comeback [entertainment]

George Lu took over the documents that had been assembled by the legal team from the original, and opened them carefully. Those manuscripts, bills, recordings, backups of judicial procedures, contracts, etc., which he had kept for a long time, were neatly arranged in densely packed, sometimes Zoom in, it is too big to fit into the field of vision, and sometimes it shrinks, it is as small as the tip of a needle.

Poke him to sting.

For decades, he has been carrying these things and full of resentment, from youth to middle age, wasting half his life.

As a creator, Yuanshang can understand his pain very well. In addition, he is thirsty for talents, and he really wants to keep such a rare talent. This lawsuit is really trying his best, but only for perfection.The lawyers of the whole group have been preparing materials and documents for a long time, just to maximize the probability of winning the lawsuit. Unfortunately, this dispute happened too early. The implementation of the bill in Bay Island is different from the inland areas, so even if it is done like this Fully prepared, lawyers are still not sure that they will be [-]% successful.

Universal Music Production Company took root too deeply in Bay Island back then. Although the music scene is in decline, the camel is still bigger than a horse. Nearly half of the well-known singers in Bay Island and almost all the music producers that can be found have signed contracts here. It is not comparable to ordinary small companies.It can be seen from the fact that after the promotion of the new law, Mingcheng International has been devastated by various lawsuits, while Universal Music's crazy infringement history has not been greatly affected.

Litigation cannot be put down, and Yuan Shang has to complete many things at the same time.

For example, "Fatal Pursuit" finally closed at the box office of 25 billion. During the film's popularity, the copyright of online broadcasting was even fired.All kinds of income, after deducting expenses, the film's final profit figure exceeds [-] million.Even after this number is divided according to the investment share of the investment, the amount everyone gets is still very impressive.After getting the dividend of nine zeros that even Qin Huo didn't dare to underestimate, Yuanshang suddenly became a wealthy little rich man, and a series of plans that the studio had put on hold due to lack of funds were quickly invested. develop.

For example, the strength of teachers, the treatment of students, and Wu Xiaoyue's new song.

Wu Xiaoyue is very popular now, the singing and dancing route of "Ash" is very popular with young audiences, and his own fashion packaging has also attracted a large number of fans in the domestic circle.With the excellent arrangement that is in line with international standards, coupled with the resources of Hurricane Yuanshang, this song has also become popular overseas, and because of the English version of the song with the same melody, it has been widely sung and has been on the The Paradise list, which many domestic singers can't wait to reach, beats the crowd, and its ranking is no lower than many European and American artists who have already had an audience.

While the popularity of the song is still at its peak, Yuanshang is going to release his first album on the market. Due to the emphasis on quality, the workload of this album is very heavy. In the same busyness as before.

Dance, melody, and various studies, Wu Xiaoyue performed very desperately. Yuanshang occasionally heard from the student instructor in the studio that Wu Xiaoyue was so busy recently that he wished he could live in the practice room. Especially in a hurry.When he returned to the dormitory, the door of his room was locked, and no one was seen. A student in the same building was said to visit him every day, but he never saw anyone.

"It's rare to be so calm after becoming popular." The life teacher recalled and couldn't help sighing.

Yuanshang took off the headset between recording songs, and smiled gratifiedly when he heard the words.

He is more busy than Wu Xiaoyue. Wu Xiaoyue only needs to be responsible for the works in his own album, while Yuanshang is not only responsible for his own, but also shoulders the future of all the young people in the entire studio.Therefore, every time I hear the information that these young people are working hard together with me, I will be very happy.

"Recording an album is hard work. He exercises a lot and has a tight schedule at work. The nutritionist should follow up at any time, so as not to damage his body in the end."

After giving instructions, thinking of Wu Xiaoyue's awkward character, he asked casually: "It seems that he gets along well with everyone? Who is the student who looks for him every day?"

"It seems to be called Jiang Xie?" The life teacher said, "I remember that the company is also preparing to let him show up."

Jiang Xie?Jiang Xie and Wu Xiaoyue?

It's really surprising that the relationship between these two people is so good.

Yuanshang was surprised for two seconds, and then became happy again.Both are old acquaintances who met in the same draft, and Jiang Xie and Wu Xiaoyue are both unpopular and bad-tempered. He vaguely remembers that they didn't get along very well at the beginning, but now they work in the same company , It's really great to be friends with a smile.

Jiang Xie's preparations for his debut have already entered the countdown. Under the professional vision of Yuanshang and George Lu, it is only a matter of time before this young man becomes popular.

One is already popular, and the other is about to become popular. It seems that after their debut, we can arrange a lot of activities for the two of them at the same time.

Yuanshang decided happily in his heart.

******

While the studio is going well, progress on George Lu's lawsuit has been hampered.

After the litigation materials were handed over to Wandao, nothing was heard from them.Previously, the lawyer team and George Lu worked so hard to integrate the evidence, just to make their side stand firmer after the trial, but they had prepared a lot, but they couldn't resist punching into the cotton, and the other side pretended to be dead and refused. If you make a sound, even if the evidence is hard enough to kill someone, it will be useless after all.

The legal team made several trips to Bay Island for this, but they only got a seemingly sincere but very perfunctory answer.Universal Film and Television is really worthy of being a big company that was once close to the emperor. After so many years, the tentacles are still strong and strong, and the other party is far away in the sky. Unlike Yuan Shang, which has a strong mass base, it cannot arouse the interest of most people to participate in it.

The dawn that is close at hand seems to be within reach, but it is so far away. George Lu, who finally started to hope, fell into confusion again. At the same time, after several failed negotiations, Yuanshang received an unexpected message. Calls from outsiders.

Song Tian has been blackmailed, and the other party used another phone.

While hearing the other party's voice, Yuanshang couldn't help but think of the lawsuits that Mingcheng International has been involved in recently.

Song Tian smiled bitterly: "Yuan Shang, you have done me a lot of harm."

Yuanshang snorted coldly when he heard the words, he still remembered Song Tian's arrogant attitude after Mingcheng's plagiarism of his music was exposed.That kind of treatment is obviously not just for him alone, because after the promotion of the new law, the number of victims who have been infringed by famous cities accumulated in the past so many years and suffer from no channels to recover their losses is so large that they directly form a rights protection group. team!

After the team approached the foundation and checked the credibility of their information, Yuan Shang asked the foundation to allocate a sum of money for them without hesitation, and invited a professional team of lawyers to negotiate compensation for their city of the same name.The legal team is already very powerful, and it is in such a sensitive period. If the opponent has scruples, they will be invincible.

The last cut was quite tragic. Although it would not be enough to cut off half of the body, Mingcheng was bound to have a small half of his leg chopped off.When Yuanshang saw the compensation list, he couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't understand Song Tian's seemingly normal businessman's thinking. Is it really worth it to use a pen and ruin one's own reputation?

But is it worth it, this out-and-out "industry cancer" has suffered a lot now, and he can no longer hear the yin and yang weirdness from the past in his voice.

Song Tian has been so busy recently that he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to his personal feelings. He only heard a little bit of news from his allies to remind Yuanshang, so he spoke very straight to the point: "Your studio is preparing to cooperate with Universal International recently. A lawsuit?"

Yuanshang flipped through the document on the table, which contained the amount that those creators who had received funding would donate back to the foundation after receiving Mingcheng's compensation.

That adds up to a lot more than what the Foundation had originally allocated.

He casually replied, "Yeah."

Song Tian on the other end of the phone shook his head: "It's almost as good as it gets, don't do such useless work. Although Universal Entertainment has declined in the past few years, the scale is still much larger than you imagined. Your lawsuit application is Didn't it take a long time to get results? This is their warning. Half of the well-known old singers and old producers in China are in Bay Island, and more than 80.00% of these people are signed by Universal International. Gold medal producer Chen Zhenxiao Have you heard of it? He is already one of the top three producers in the domestic music circle, and he is signed to Universal. These people have too many connections, who can shake them?"

He paused, and for the first time advised in such a sincere voice: "Stop it, there will be no results."

I have actually heard of the name Chen Zhenxiao before. Back then when he was still creating behind the scenes and was already well-known in the circle, it was convenient for him to manage a reputation in the Wandao music circle that was not inferior to him.Calculating now, the other party is also in his 40s. The influence of this kind of old musicians who have taken root in the glory days of the music scene cannot be underestimated. If they come out together to support Universal Entertainment...

It is indeed a big trouble.

Song Tian said again: "What's more, you want to help that Lu Qiao who is in the early stage. His own butt hasn't been wiped clean yet. The Baodao News where he apologized in the newspaper can still find information now. You and this kind of person If you mix together, you are not afraid of getting burned?"

Yuanshang sneered: "Don't worry about it, just think about yourself."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and invited George Lu to discuss with the lawyer team.

In the office, Song Tian took off the phone that was beeping repeatedly from his ear, looked at the merciless call ended page on the screen, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Got hung up again...

In this world, only Yuan Shang has the guts to put down his phone time and time again.

The economic situation is not very good recently, Song Tian thought about it, but still didn't throw the phone out.

There was a light knock on the office door, and the assistant came in, put the documents in his hand on the table, and reported: "Dr. Song, several newly recruited screenwriters and photographers have already joined the job. How do you arrange the comparison?" good?"

Song Tian was taken aback for a while when he heard this question.

The two Dinghaishenzhen of the screenwriting department have been poached by the world, and the outstanding behind-the-scenes have also been poached. The salary of the famous city for the behind-the-scenes is not high, and it is not very good to retain people. Let there be another scene Finally, if you stay, you will either eat and wait to die, or dangle half a bucket of water.

But today's severe copyright management...

After thinking for a long time and analyzing various pros and cons, he glanced at the list of recent compensations to the object of dispute that was still spread out on the table.

Song Tian finally sighed: "Cultivate well, the salary of interns will increase by 20.00%, and after becoming a full-time employee... it will increase by 30.00%. In terms of creative discipline...follow the form and be stricter."

His face was gloomy, and there was unspeakable unwillingness in his eyes: "The times are developing..."

In the past, when there was time to exploit, money came very easily.

Now there is no room to exploit, but the company has to continue to operate.

Businessmen seek profits, but under strict control, they have to adapt to the situation and follow the trend.

******

The original admiral listed the influential characters in front of and behind the scenes that Universal Entertainment has signed one by one, and it was the first time that he intuitively felt what a skinny camel is.

Today, as the Chinese music scene is getting more and more popular, it is difficult for new singers to stand out. Those old singers who have created various histories in the glorious era will remain in the memory of the audience for a long time, and naturally have an extraordinary status.

King of Heaven, Queen of Heaven, God of Songs, King of Songs, King of Songs...

The crown that was crowned on the heads of these veteran singers in the past, no young man dares to fight for it nowadays.This is a unique image created by the tide of the times. Even if they are old, their achievements cannot be replicated, nor can their influence be erased.

Just like when Yuanshang had a fight with Ren Pingsheng when he first debuted, many onlookers unconditionally stood on Ren Pingsheng's side even without knowing the inside story.

This is the powerful power that these old singers who seem to be dying can exert.

According to the data, more than half of these inspiring big-name artists are signed under the name of Universal Entertainment.

Such an intertwined chain of interests could no longer be easily shaken by outsiders, and it was no wonder that Song Tian would firmly advise Yuanshang not to try to hit a stone with an egg.

Among the names that are enough to shock the entertainment industry alone, the names of the creators at the top are the most astonishing.

The creation of the music circle, in a popular saying, is the death of drought and the death of waterlogging.

Ordinary small creators have no access, no popularity, no job, no income, and no respect for their hard work.

As for big-name composers like Yuan Shang before, although they are also not well-known by the audience, there are countless big-name artists trying their best to please them in order to get a song.

The names at the top of the list obviously do not belong to the class of small creators.Compared with the old singers who are still influential but have already passed away, these big-name producers who have signed contracts with Universal Entertainment are probably the characters with the most extensive network and influence in Universal.

When he saw the name at the top, George Lu was shocked.

"Chen Zhenxiao..."

With complicated eyes withdrawn from the paper, he was stunned for a long time, then sighed softly, and said to Yuanshang——

"He was the friend who wanted to develop music with me at the beginning."

He was also the one who faked his name and published an apology to Universal Entertainment in the newspaper.

******

This matter is so bloody, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong.

At the beginning, George Lu and Chen Zhenxiao had similar interests and wanted to develop music together, but when they were looking for a reliable cooperative company, their works were stolen by Universal Entertainment.

They decided not to do it, so they filed a lawsuit against Universal Entertainment. Who knows that Universal Entertainment has a strong background and is not afraid of these two young people without roots. source of income.

George Lu was a stubborn person, and he would not look back when he hit the south wall. Even if he was seriously injured by the people sent by Universal, he only wanted to get his own justice.

However, at this time, Chen Zhenxiao turned his back on him, signed with Universal behind his back, apologized under a fake name, and got money to send him to the hospital.

George Lu healed his injury, but lost his reputation. Since then, he has gone overseas, never set foot in his hometown, changed all contact methods, kept his name incognito, and never contacted Chen Zhenxiao again.

"George Lu was seriously injured at the time. If he didn't go to the hospital, he might be disabled, but they didn't have any money, and they didn't have any source of income." In life, it seems that whichever side is chosen is right, and whichever side is chosen is wrong.”

Assistant Mu, the co-pilot, was also very sad when he heard it, and couldn't help but sighed. Just as he was about to make a speech or two, Yuanshang in the back seat reached out and hugged Qin Huo's head and put it on his shoulder, and patted him comfortingly. : "It's all in the past, and now I say it to make you laugh, what's there to be sad about?"

"..."

From the corner of his eyes, Assistant Mu glanced at his boss's tall body, his cold face, sharp eyebrows, tightly pursed lips, and a motionless expression.

He rolled his eyes wildly in his heart and sprinted for three laps of the 800-meter breaststroke.Which eye do you see on this face as "sad"?

I can feel the strength of being gently patted and stroked on my back. From time to time, that hand goes up to the back of my head to gently stroke my hair, and I can smell the refreshing grass aroma unique to Yuanshang in my nose, although because of my height, my head is now being lowered His posture was uncomfortable, but Qin Huo didn't want to break free.

He leaned against Yuanshang's shoulder with a cold face, his forehead rested on Yuanshang's neck, and his strong, steel-like arms wrapped around Yuanshang's waist, recalling the story Yuanshang just narrated.

π^π

Qin Huo squeezed his lips tightly, and tightened his arms expressionlessly.

So sad.
