My wife always wants me, a big star, to eat soft rice

Chapter 65 The Unwritten Rules of the God of Songs Contest

Lu Ming thought to himself, the program group of the God of Songs Contest is looking for him, could it be that he wants to let him go?Are you afraid that if you perform too well, you will embarrass other singers?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming asked, "Did they say what they wanted me for?"

Xu Ziyi replied: "No, that person just said that the director is looking for you."

Lu Ming thought for a while, and then asked, "Where is the director's office? Let's go directly."

Xu Ziyi said: "They asked us to wait at the door, and the staff will take us there later."

Lu Ming said, "Okay, let's go to the door first."

Then, the three of them came to the door of the TV station.

Not long after, a staff member came to Lu Ming.

"Mr. Lu, the director is waiting for you in the office, come with me."

Lu Ming said lightly, "Oh, good."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming followed that person to the office of the chief director of the God of Songs Contest.

After entering the office, Lu Ming took a look at the man who was busy sitting in front of the desk. He had white hair all over his head, but he didn't look very old. He looked about forty or fifty at most. , the man immediately stopped what he was doing, and then said to Lu Ming with a smile on his face: "You are here, just find a seat."

"Let me introduce myself first, I am Zhou Zhaohua, the chief director of the God of Songs Contest."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhaohua looked at the staff who brought Lu Ming in and said, "Xiao Wang, hurry up and pour Lu Ming a glass of water."

Hearing this, the staff immediately said: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After the staff member left, Lu Ming came to the sofa in the corner of the office, and sat down on it.

Lu Ming smiled and asked, "Director, what do you want from me?"

Zhou Zhaohua replied: "There is nothing particularly important, I just want to talk to you about the copyright ownership of the songs you sang in the God of Songs Competition."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was a little confused, copyright ownership?

Those songs were created by him, and the copyright belongs to him of course. What is there to talk about?

At this time, the staff member just brought Lu Ming a glass of water. He put the glass in front of Lu Ming and left the office.

After the staff member left, Zhou Zhaohua continued: "The singers who participate in the God of Songs Competition every year will eventually sign contracts with several major music companies, and the copyright of the songs they sing in the God of Songs Competition also belongs to those major music companies. Company owned."

Several major music companies are sponsors of the God of Songs Contest. They sponsor this TV show, and naturally they have their own goals. Every year, they use this platform to sign some capable and high-level singers.

And the first songs released by those singers after signing with the music company are usually from the songs the singer sang on the God of Songs Competition. Of course, the copyright of these songs belongs to the company they signed with.

Lu Ming's approach this year is somewhat out of the ordinary.

Other singers wait until the God of Songs Contest is over, sign with a music company first, and then release the songs they sing.

And Lu Ming didn't even say hello, and released the song himself.

The key is that Lu Ming is the best performer in the God of Songs competition, and his traffic is also the largest. It was obviously a competition they sponsored, but this guy earned traffic and fame, and then found another music company to release songs , eating alone, which made those big music companies very unhappy.

So they deliberately found Zhou Zhaohua, the chief director of the program group, and asked him to tell Lu Ming that they were not allowed to release singles privately, and they had to wait until they signed contracts with several of their music companies after the God of Songs Competition was over.

After hearing Zhou Zhaohua's words, Lu Ming instantly realized that this was the case. It seemed that in the eyes of those music companies, he touched their interests.

Lu Ming asked at this time: "Director Zhou, after the Contest of the Gods of Songs is over, do all the contestants who participate in the Contest of the Gods of Songs have to sign contracts with those music companies?"

Zhou Zhaohua replied: "Although there is no contract stipulation, since the program of God of Songs Tournament has been established, it has been doing this all the time. This is equivalent to an unwritten rule."

Lu Ming asked: "Then what if the contestants who participated in the God of Songs Contest have already signed contracts with other music companies?"

Zhou Zhaohua replied: "Singers of this kind usually don't pass the review of the program group, and they generally can't participate in the God of Songs Competition. Even if they do, they will be eliminated from the very beginning."

When Xu Ziyi signed up for Lu Ming, he signed up as an independent musician. If he was not an independent musician, Lu Ming would not be able to pass the review.

At this time, Lu Ming thought to himself, it seems that he took advantage of a loophole.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming said directly: "Director Zhou, if I don't want to sign with those music companies, will the program team disqualify me directly?"

Zhou Zhaohua said with a smile: "No, but it's not certain whether you will be able to advance tonight."

Hearing this, Lu Ming instantly understood what he meant. It seemed that as long as he did not agree to sign with those music companies, they would artificially control the score and let him be eliminated.

Shady!
Rather than being eliminated, it is better to retire directly.

Anyway, he now has traffic and fame, so there is no need to continue to participate. If he withdraws from the competition, it may cause a lot of discussion on the Internet and bring him some traffic.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming stood up directly and said, "Director Zhou, I have no plans to sign with those music companies. Since I am destined not to be able to advance, then I will not waste time and decide to retire."

Zhou Zhaohua was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Retire? I'm afraid it won't work! You are the best performer in the previous two rounds. If you retire now, it will bring a lot of disadvantages to the God of Songs Tournament. influences."

If Lu Ming retired like this, there would definitely be people who suspected that the show crew was playing tricks.

Lu Ming said flatly: "I'm going to be eliminated anyway, so why should I waste tonight's time, I might as well go home and be with my wife."

Zhou Zhaohua hurriedly said: "Lu Ming, if you think about it carefully, these music companies are the most famous music companies in China. If you sign a contract with one of the music companies, they will give you enough resources to support you. Wake up, sooner or later you will become a first-line singer in China."

"A person's creative ability is always limited. You can write such a good song today, but it doesn't mean you will be able to write such a good song in the future."

"If one day you run out of talent and inspiration, and you don't have a powerful music company behind you to support you, you will soon fade out of people's sight."

Lu Ming said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Director Zhou for reminding me, but I didn't intend to continue on the road of music, I just wanted to earn some pocket money."
