This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 678

c678 Limited group copyright situation

Time enters March.

The limited group talent show variety show produced by Chaoyin Culture has started recording, and among the contestants participating in the show this time, five are members of Fluorescent Girls.

Fluorescent Girl’s contracts all expired last year.

Before the contract expired, Chaoyin Culture began to contact the more popular members of Fluorescent Girls.

Chaoyin Culture offered a very attractive contract, and even promised a limited number of group seats, which was written into the contract.

Popular members including Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian were persuaded by Chaoyin Culture to participate in this limited group audition called “Chasing Star Light”.

Last year, before the contract expired, Fang Xing and Tong Fei had a meeting with these people.

Fang Xing could see from their expressions that they did not want to renew the contract and had been persuaded by Chaoyin Culture.

Later, Tong Fei inquired from the side and found out that Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian had signed a limited group agreement with Chaoyin Culture at that time.

actually.

If Fang Xing and Tong Fei had been more ruthless, they could have used the fact that the contract had not expired to make a fuss.

However, Fang Xing always felt that the company and the artists were actually in a cooperative relationship, and it was better to get together and part ways easily.

Moreover, there was no big vocal in the group Fluorescent Girls.

Among Sky Girls, at least there is Shen Xiyin who is better at singing.

Although Fang Xing has always arranged vocal lessons for the girl group Fluorescent Girls, they really haven’t produced a big vocal.

Therefore, after Fluorescent Girl held its farewell concert, it was considered disbanded.

…

Fluorescent Girls disbanded, and Guanghuang Entertainment implemented Fang Xing’s wishes. They did not discredit the members, but only tried to pull them together, and did whatever they wanted.

Therefore, there are no rumors of conflict between the company and the girl group members.

However, there were some conflicts among the members.

After all, out of the nine fluorescent girls, Chaoyin Culture poached five to participate in “Light Chasing the Stars”.

In addition, during the existence of the group, there are differences in popularity and resources. Small groups are formed within the group. Only after the group disbands does anyone dare to express dissatisfaction.

Overall, Fluorescent Girl has a beginning and an end.

Tong Fei finally made an announcement wishing the members a better future.

…

Now Chaoyin Culture’s “Chasing Star Light” has begun recording, and the contestants invited on this show are all idols who have been popular or are currently popular.

Therefore, when preparations for the show began, there was already a lot of popularity.

Now that the recording starts, various program highlights are coming out.

At the beginning, it spread among fans, and gradually began to spread to the entire Internet. As soon as the show started recording, it continued to be trending.

Chaoyin Culture started marketing and hyping various news.

One of the hot spots is naturally the gossip topics of the five fluorescent girl members including Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, and Guangguang Entertainment.

Various entertainment self-media began to issue press releases and hype up the topic.

[The Fluorescent Girl comes to an end and Star Chaser sets sail. Is there any problem with the operation of Guangguang Entertainment? 】

[Members of Fluorescent Girl broke the news that Fang Xingjiang was exhausted and could not come up with songs that continued the popularity of the girl group, which led to the disbandment of the group. 】

[The fluorescent girl thanks her mentor Fang Xing. Why did the once-smashing girl group disband? 】

[Fang Xing did not release a song for the fluorescent girl for four years, which eventually led to the fluorescent girl going their separate ways. 】

[Even if Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian give up on renewing their contracts, they still want to participate in “Chasing the Stars”. Why has Guangguang Entertainment lost its appeal? 】

When “Persian Cat” became a street song, the popularity of fluorescent girls was once the ceiling of domestic girl groups, and the song was very popular.

Back then, Guangguang Entertainment was the company that all idol groups aspired to.

but.

As Fang Xing focused on TV dramas, he then took a two-year break to get married and have children. After returning, he began to make movies and produce animated movies.

Due to the change in work focus, Fang Xing did not have much energy to focus on the management of the girl group, and he released fewer songs.

It’s not that Guanghuang Entertainment has never released songs for fluorescent girls. They produce new songs every year, but there are no songs that can break out in the industry.

As Fluorescent Girl’s contract is about to expire and resources are dwindling, her popularity naturally plummets.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others are unwilling to renew their contracts.

They once stood on the highest stage and were the envy of all idol groups. Later, their popularity declined, creating a huge gap.

At this time, Chaoyin Culture stepped in and offered a group contract.

Several members, Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, finally chose not to renew their contracts and signed with Chaoyin Culture to participate in “Chasing Star Light”.

After all kinds of news came out, it caused a big sensation in the fan circle.

Because some of these gossips pointed out that Fang Xing had not released a single song for the fluorescent girl for four years.

Fans began to complain that Fang Xing treated his idol harshly and wasted four years of his youth because Zhou Xueyan and others were not worth it.

This piece of gossip news, if you insist on saying it, actually makes sense.

Because Fang Xing took a two-year break to get married and have a child, and before taking a break, he filmed “Mountains and Seas”, and after returning, he filmed “Crazy Stone”.

All things considered, it’s been four years since I personally produced a song for Fluorescent Girl.

But the problem is that Fluorescent Girl has not released any songs in the past four years. There are new songs every year, but the producer is not Fang Xing, but Guangguang Entertainment has hired another music producer to customize them.

The song was released but not popular. There are many reasons for this.

Even the most popular idol group cannot say that every song is a hit.

Multiple reasons came together, and the result was the gossip that Fang Xing treated the fluorescent girls harshly, which caused the popularity of the fluorescent girls to decline, and members such as Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian were forced to leave.

As soon as this gossip came out, fans all pointed their fingers at Fang Xing.

Fans of Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others began to feel sorry for their idols while they were trolling Fang Xing.

After the first episode of “Chasing the Stars” started airing, crazy betting began, pushing the popularity of the two people to the first and second positions on the popularity list.

…

After this kind of news passed through several hands, it finally reached Fang Xing’s ears.

However, Fang Xing always ignored such gossip news.

Moreover, Fang Xing was sprayed all the way along the way, so he didn’t care at all.

However, the gossip news hyped by self-media is becoming more and more excessive.

[After Fluorescent Girls disbanded, Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian were no longer allowed to sing classic songs such as “Persian Cat”. 】

[Fang Xing’s hegemony? Fluorescent girls sing fire songs, and the members are not qualified to sing. 】

This topic became a hot topic, and fans became even more explosive. They went out everywhere to crusade against Fang Xing’s hegemony.

According to the contract, the copyright of “Persian Cat” belongs to Ark Culture.

Artists from other companies who want to sing this song need to go to Ark Culture’s copyright department to purchase the right to use it before they can sing it.

This song is indeed the most popular song of Fluorescent Girls, but Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian have already signed with Chaoyin Culture to participate in the recording of “Chasing Star Light”.

Not surprisingly, Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others will eventually form the limited group Star Chasing Girls.

This group belongs to Chaoyin culture.

Therefore, if we follow the contract, Chaoyin Culture needs to discuss the song copyright with Ark Culture’s copyright department.

There is nothing wrong with this in itself.

However, in the eyes of fans, it became Fang Xing suppressing Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, and they could no longer even sing their popular songs.

…

So much so.

When Fang Xing attended the screening of the animated film “Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World”, he was questioned by reporters.

Reporter: “Fang Xing, there are rumors that you banned Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian from singing “Persian Cat”. Is this true?”

Fang Xing: “Song copyright is managed by the copyright department of the company. I never ask questions. Anyone with a bit of professional knowledge will not ask such questions.”

That’s true, but fans don’t care.

Reporter: “Are you sure there is no ban? It is rumored that Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian did not sing the previous group song on the first stage of “Chasing Star Light”. Did you lie?”

Fang Xing: “Do I need to lie about such a trivial matter?”

Reporter: “Is it possible that the copyright department of your company understood your idea and banned Zhou Xueyan and other former members of Fluorescent Girls from singing previous group songs?”

Fang Xing: “I have not received any information about this.”

Reporter: “In other words, you are not sure, so there is a possibility that your company’s copyright department will ban the song, right?”

Fang Xing was indeed not very sure about this issue.

Because he rarely interferes with the work of the copyright department, such trivial matters are not his responsibility.

Fang Xing had never issued such an order, but he was not sure whether the company’s copyright department had done so.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xing replied: “As long as the members of Fluorescent Girls want to sing, I will let them sing.”

Reporter: “That is to say, if Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and other former Fluorescent Girls members want to sing songs such as “Persian Cat”, you will agree, right?”

Fang Xing frowned and didn’t think it was a big deal to sing for them. He said directly: “Okay, I’ll leave it at that. Anyone who is a former member of Fluorescent Girls and wants to sing a group song should go directly to the company’s copyright department. . I speak and follow market standards.”

After this news was released, it quickly became a hot search topic.

Because this topic involves the issue of whether singers and artists can still sing their previous songs after leaving the original company.

This topic itself is highly discussed.

Because more than one singer and artist has encountered this problem.

In fact, there are many such situations in the entertainment industry.

If contractual law is followed, the copyright owner has the right to decide.

If singers or artists want to sing old songs, they go to the copyright owner to buy the singing rights.

Of course, if the two parties break up due to contract issues and the original company prohibits the singer from singing, this situation is very common.

From a legal perspective, there is no problem with this.

However, from a human perspective, it will be unacceptable to fans.

After all, fans love idols and the songs they sang before, but suddenly one day, the idols can no longer sing the songs they used to sing.

Therefore, after the content of Fang Xing’s interview was posted online, it aroused widespread discussion:

【real or fake? This piece of shit from FX isn’t trying to fool people, right? 】

[The first stage performance of Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian was not the previous group song. It was obvious that Ark Culture did not allow them to sing. FX must have lied. 】

【I don’t think it’s necessary. Fang Xing has already won the award for Best Actor. He is not on the same track as the idol group at all. Is it necessary to lie about such a trivial matter? 】

[Who knows how sinister FX’s heart is, otherwise why would Fluorescent Girls disband? 】

[Wait and see, if Zhou Xueyan and the others still can’t sing the group song in the second episode of “Chasing the Stars”, it must be FX who is lying again. 】

…

After this topic became popular, Chaoyin Culture’s internal executives held a meeting to discuss the matter.

Because Fang Xing promised in public that Zhou Xueyan and other former Fluorescent Girls members could sing old group songs, as long as they abide by the contract according to regular standards.

In other words, as long as Zhou Xueyan and others come forward and talk to the copyright department of Ark Culture, they can buy the singing rights of songs such as “Persian Cat”.

This incident greatly contributed to the popularity of “Chasing Stars”.

Just think about it for a moment.

The popularity of Zhou Xueyan, Ren Qianqian and others singing “Persian Cat” on “Chasing Star Light” is obviously not on the same level as singing other songs.

Liu Rongxuan, artist director of Chaoyin Culture, raised a question at the meeting: “Should we sing “Persian Cat” on the show? If we sing it, it will definitely increase the popularity of the show, but the show we do must also use Ark Culture’s songs. Doesn’t it sound a bit unpleasant?”

He Hongtu, the big boss of Chaoyin Culture, said: “Sing! Popularity is the biggest reason. In the entertainment industry, whoever is popular has the right.

“Buy all the singing rights of the songs in “Persian Cat” and help me increase the popularity of “Chasing the Stars”.

“I want to create the most popular talent show in China, and I want it to be a phenomenon. I will send someone to negotiate the copyright now.”

…

the next day.

Qiao Yinghong came to Fang Xing’s office, handed over a document, and said, “Boss, you told reporters two days ago that you wanted Zhou Xueyan and the others to sing the old group song, but Chaoyin Culture really came to buy the singing rights.”

Fang Xing didn’t even look at the document, so he handed it back and said, “Then let them sing.”

Qiao Yinghong frowned and said, “But in this case, wouldn’t these songs become a boost for Chaoyin Culture’s program? I think Mr. Tong will be unhappy as well.”

The second-generation fluorescent girl group trained by Tong Fei is already preparing to debut. At this time, singing songs to a limited group of Chaoyin Culture is equivalent to finding a strong competitor for the second-generation group formed by Tong Fei.

In this matter, Tong Fei is very calm. As long as it complies with the legal provisions, it is reasonable to suppress her opponent in any way.

In fact.

This is what entertainment companies do.

Fang Xing replied casually: “After all, he was an artist under our banner, so please show some mercy. I hope to take a wider path, and besides, we don’t make money from this.”

Now, the track of Ark Culture has nothing to do with idol groups.

Chaoyin culture can only create idol groups and has no other abilities. It can only constantly promote idols and then make money from fans.

Ark Culture is completely different. It is now a giant company that spans three fields of film, television and music, and has achieved great success in all three fields.

It also has subsidiaries such as Nebula Animation and Nebula Special Effects.

Since the box office of “Nezha” reached 4.5 billion, Nebula Animation’s valuation in the investment industry has exceeded 6 billion.

Seeing that Fang Xing had made up his mind, Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed, “Okay, I’ll make the arrangements like this. However, the contract stipulates that only former Fluorescent Girls members can sing. In addition, I will appease Mr. Tong for the boss.”

Fang Xing smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. If Mr. Tong is angry, just ask her to find me.”

…

As expected.

When “Chasing Starlight” was recording the second episode, the song “Persian Cat” was indeed included.

After Tong Fei heard the news from people in the industry, a call came directly to Fang Xing’s personal mobile phone:

“Fang Xing, what are you doing? Chaoyin Culture has a limited group, and you send them songs. I thought you were just joking when you answered the reporter’s interview. Are you serious about it?”

Fang Xing chuckled and said, “Why is Mr. Tong so angry?”

Tong Fei: “Can I not be angry? My second-generation group is about to choose a song to debut. If you do this for me now, what good will it do to you if the second-generation group is confused?”

Fang Xing: “Isn’t the second-generation group choosing songs? I can only release two songs, right?”

Tong Fei’s eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this: “You said, don’t go back on your word. I will go over and listen to your demo right away. Where are you now?”
