Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 54 Gossip
Many people may think that selling songs is not that troublesome, why not just sing it to the other party directly.

In fact, it is really necessary to sign a contract.

Taiwan has attached great importance to various literary and artistic copyrights since the 1980s and 1990s.

Up to now, Taiwan's copyright law has become very complete.

Let’s just talk about the song “Love Corner”.

This song by Wu Zhuo has been registered with the Music Association.

If someone produces or performs a song without his authorization, they could easily be sued.

For the two previous songs "Only Have Feelings for You" and "Super Style", Huayan signed a song copyright transfer contract with Wu Chao.

"Love Corner" does not require signing of copyright transfer.

But a signed authorization letter is required.

It was not Wu Chao who wanted to sign, but Luo Zhixiang and Sony behind him.

Luo Zhixiang and Sony were also worried that if they did not sign the authorization letter, once they had produced the song, Wu Chao would turn against them, which would be very troublesome.

Therefore, the authorization letter must be signed.

And every item and every authorization must be written clearly.

Regarding the authorization of "Love Corner", Wu Chao mainly authorized Luo Zhixiang and Sony Music to have several rights.

Recording rights: Sony and Show Luo can record the song "Love Corner".

Performance rights: Luo Zhixiang can perform the song "Love Corner" under any circumstances, and Luo Zhixiang will be marked as the first singer.

Distribution rights: Sony can release this song, and the revenue from the release has nothing to do with Wu Chao.

As for the information network dissemination rights, Luo Zhixiang can disseminate the song on the Internet, and the ringtones and online download revenue of Luo Zhixiang's version have nothing to do with Wu Chao.

These permissions are permanently granted.

This means that Wu Chao can authorize other companies and people to sing this song, but the authorization of Luo Zhixiang's version cannot be affected.

Of course, Luo Zhixiang did not use this song for free.

They paid Wu Chao NT$500,000 in one lump sum to obtain these permissions.

“Sometimes I envy you songwriters because you can earn a lot of money just by singing a single song.

I was miserable. In order to learn dance, I went to Japan and the United States to consult masters.

Every time I release a new album, I still have to worry about whether I can find good songs..."

After signing the contract, Luo Zhixiang asked his assistant to transfer the authorization fee to the account set by Wu Chao, then he picked up the authorization letter with a look of admiration on his face.

"Didn't I see in the news that you and Jay Chou are good friends? Why haven't you thought of asking him to write a song for you?"

Guo Biting interrupted with a curious look on her face.

She was only halfway through her words when Wu Chao realized what she wanted to say and tried to stop her, but it was too late.

When he heard the name Jay Chou, Luo Zhixiang's face froze.

"She hasn't been in Formosa recently, so she hasn't been paying much attention to the news. Don't mind, little pig brother."

Wu Zhuo noticed that his expression was not right and hurriedly spoke for Guo Biting.

In fact, before this year, Luo Zhixiang, Jay Chou and Liu Genghong were indeed very good friends.

They are often reported in the news playing basketball together.

But that relationship ended this year.

The reason is a double J relationship.

Wu Zhuo himself actually didn’t quite understand the ins and outs of this matter.

But this year, the Taiwan media reported a lot of news on this topic.

The general situation is that Jay Chou and Cai Yilin met through Show Luo.

The two started dating because of this, and Luo Zhixiang actually also liked Cai Yilin.

After the two broke up, Luo Zhixiang chose to stand on Cai Yilin's side and broke up with his good brother...

Since this incident, Jay Chou and Show Luo’s good brother relationship has come to an end.

Although the two seemed to have reconciled in the future, it is not known whether it is true or not.

Anyway, for now, the relationship between the two has broken down.

Guo Biting was not a fool. After realizing that there was something wrong with the matter, she stopped talking and waited quietly for Wu Chao and Luo Zhixiang to be polite.

"It's getting late, Brother Xiaozhu, we won't bother you anymore and will leave first!" After sitting for a while, Wu Zhuo looked at the time and stood up to say goodbye.

"Don't leave! I have invited some friends to my house to play, you can stay and play with us!"

"Next time! Biting hasn't been home for a long time. I'll send her home first. I'll come to your place again next time if I have the chance!"

Wu Zhuo shook his head.

"Then I won't keep you here!"

……

"Did I say the wrong thing just now?"

As soon as they came out of Luo Zhixiang's house and got in the car, Guo Biting spoke with an embarrassed look on her face.

"No! There's a problem with Xiao Zhu's relationship with Jay Chou. That's the truth. You don't understand it, so it's no big deal even if I tell you."

Wu Chao comforted gently.

"Why did they break up?" Guo Biting was very gossipy and asked about it curiously.

Wu Zhuo briefly explained the reason to her.

As soon as she heard Wu Zhuo's explanation, her expression suddenly became strange.

"I remember a few years ago, there was news that Xiaozhu stole Ou Di's girl. This time, do you think he will..."

"Who knows? We are not involved." Wu Zhuo did not dare to make any rash judgment.

But he remembered that there seemed to be such a saying in later generations.

However, Xiaozhu and Cai did not get together. It is very complicated, but very entertainment-oriented.

……

After leaving Luo Zhixiang's house, Wu Chao sent Guo Biting directly back to her home.

Originally, Wu Zhuo was thinking of finding a way to eat Guo Biting today.

But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up this idea.

There is no rush.

More haste less speed.

Now that the two of them have almost confirmed their relationship, if you want to eat, there are plenty of opportunities.

"Are you going back to record tomorrow?"

When getting off the car, Guo Biting took the initiative to ask Wu Chao about tomorrow's plans.

"Wu Zun invites us to dinner tomorrow." Wu Zhuo paused and asked, "Do you want to join us?"

"Sure! I want to meet your teammates too."

Upon hearing this, Guo Biting immediately smiled.

"I won't tell you anymore. My mom and the others might be getting anxious waiting."

Guo Biting said this and was about to go into the house.

"Hey! Are you just leaving like this?" Wu Zhuo pointed to his cheek.

Seeing this, Guo Biting blushed, "You are so annoying!"

As she said this, she glanced around, ran quickly to Wu Zhuo, and pecked him on the face.

"My mother is very strict, so I won't let you into the house. I'll invite you to come over after I talk to her."

After watching Guo Biting enter the house, Wu Zhuo started the car and left.

He actually has some things going on at home.

He recently plans to help grandma renovate the [Grandma's Oyster Omelet] restaurant.

Then hire a few employees to help grandma manage the store.

After the store is renovated, he plans to turn it into a celebrity snack bar.

When the time comes, we can invite other Fahrenheit teammates and friends in the circle to come over to fill the void, and business should be very good.

He has made all the plans. Once he becomes more famous, he plans to open branches.

Anyway, grandma can't sit idle, so let her be a big boss.
