Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 117 Ghost blows out the lamp

"Mr. Wu, the copyright has been secured. It cost 600,000 yuan."

As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end quickly reported the situation.

"nailed it?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo was shocked.

During the time he was promoting his records and performing commercial shows in the mainland, Wu Chao was not doing nothing.

He set up a copyright management company in the mainland.

He licensed the copyright of his songs to this company at a price of one dollar for three years and entrusted the company with the management.

And let the company start purchasing some well-known film and television adaptation IPs that he knew in his previous life.

Among them, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is the IP that Wu Chao attaches the most importance to.

This novel was published not long ago and the copyright is still in the hands of the author Tianxia Bachang.

At the beginning of December, Wu Zhuo sent people from his studio to contact Tianxia Bachang.

Today, he finally received some good news from there.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your subsequent work will continue to focus on royalties supervision, especially the royalties of my current album in the mainland."

Wu Zhuo, in a good mood, said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

The sales data problem of the album "Fahrenheit" reminded Wu Chao that he must not be negligent in supervising the sales data.

In addition, as a creator, song copyright will definitely be one of Wu Chao’s most important assets in the future.

How to manage and how to protect rights are things that Wu Chao needs to consider carefully.

If there is no copyright company to manage it and he relies on himself, to be honest, he may not even know that his copyright has been damaged.

But if there is a copyright company to help manage the affairs, the situation will be completely different.

The copyright agency can help him register the copyright and ensure that his works are recognized and protected by national laws.

At the same time, during the copyright application process, the agency can also provide professional consultation and guidance to help Wu Chao successfully complete the application process and obtain a copyright certificate.

In addition, songs are worthless if you keep them in your own hands, so you need to circulate them. You don’t have to transfer them, but you can authorize programs, TV stations, radio stations and other platforms to use them.

With a copyright agency, they can conduct transactions such as authorization and licensing to other parties on behalf of Wu Chao.

Then, the most important thing is copyright protection.

When Wu Zhuo's works are infringed, the copyright agency can assist him in protecting his rights, including filing complaints with relevant departments and initiating infringement lawsuits.

They have professional legal knowledge and practical experience, and can provide strong legal support to copyright owners and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Moreover, because Wu Chao is actually in control of the company, he also has the right to supervise the specific data of the record company's release of records on behalf of Wu Chao.

Avoid the situation like what happened with "Fahrenheit" last time.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light! After Jin Yong and Gu Long, the most popular IP in the Chinese-speaking world is now in my hands! Haha..."

When thinking about the influence of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series in the Chinese-speaking regions, Wu Chao couldn't help but smile happily.

In Wu Zhuo’s plan.

His identity as a singer is definitely his first priority, and his greatest advantage in this life is that he knows many of the future hit songs.

Then there is film and television. Chinese-language film and television will usher in a great boom in the future.

Wu Zhuo also wants to become a triple-actor like Andy Lau who is good at acting, singing and dancing.

It is not realistic to expect others to support you. The right way is to become your own boss.

By holding a big IP like "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in your own hands, you can ask a big director to help with the adaptation, and then star in it yourself, or let others shoot it.

This is a hundred benefits for Wu Zhuo and no harm at all. …

On December 2006, 12, the 28th Global Chinese Music Chart held a grand launching ceremony in BJ.

The organizers invited a large number of shortlisted singers to attend the event.

With the resounding slogan of "pointing out new ways of playing music", the selection of this year's Global Chinese Music Chart kicked off.

Wu Zhuo was also fortunate enough to be invited to become one of them.

Although it is the first solo album.

But the sales volume and song quality of Wu Zhuo's album are very good.

In this award, he was nominated for several awards as an individual, including the Best Singer-Songwriter Award (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Song of the Year Award (Hong Kong and Taiwan), Popular Song of the Year Award (Hong Kong and Taiwan), and Media Promotion Award.

In terms of the number of nominations, he is worthy of the title of the New Four Heavenly Kings. The number of awards he has been nominated for is second only to Jay Chou and Leehom Wang, and one more than JJ Lin.

Except for himself.

In this life, due to his popularity, Fahrenheit also rose strongly and was nominated for the Best Newcomer (Hong Kong and Taiwan) and Best Video (Hong Kong and Taiwan) awards.

In fact, this is not the only award that Wu Zhuo and Fahrenheit have been nominated for.

After entering December, the major awards in the Chinese music scene began to announce their shortlists.

Among the awards announced so far, Wu Zhuo and Fahrenheit are both among them, and can be said to be the strongest presence this year.

Taiwanese media have even impatiently declared that Wu Chao will be the undisputed new king of the Chinese music scene this year.

Although these words are wild, few people refute them.

Recently, because of the new four kings of Taiwanese media marketing, Wu Chao’s reputation on the Internet is not that good.

Many passers-by complained that he was just a newcomer and asked why he was listed alongside Jay Chou and Leehom Wang.

Even JJ Lin became popular in the Chinese-speaking regions with the drama "Jiangnan" in 04.

Compared with him, although Wu Zhuo is very popular and his works are good, he still lacks some foundation.

It can be said to be foundation, or it can be said to be popularity among passers-by.

China is too big. Even though the Internet has become increasingly popular, it is still difficult to make everyone know you within a year.

Many people don’t know Wu Chao, and it’s strange that they can accept seeing him among the new Four Heavenly Kings.

But even many people think that Wu Chao is not qualified to be among the new Four Heavenly Kings.

But when faced with the slogan of "Rookie King" shouted by Taiwanese media, he had nothing to say.

Judging from this year's achievements alone, or even the popularity of his works, no one in the Chinese music scene can compare to Wu Chao this year.

……

Beijing, backstage at the Chinese Music Chart launch ceremony.

The so-called launch ceremony is actually just publicity.

Awards also need to be promoted, especially awards like the Chinese Music Chart which rely on ticket sales to make a profit.

Before the annual Chinese Music Chart Awards ceremony, several profit-making events are held in several major cities.

The organizers will invite the shortlisted singers to perform songs on site to build momentum for the awards.

This year, the organizers planned to hold promotional activities in three cities: Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

By then, almost all Chinese singers from all over the world will gather together to participate in this grand event.
