After confirming that Wang Xiao joins the Voice, Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua quickly asked the program team members to send Wang Xiao a standard contract!

The candidates will be determined as soon as possible, and the program team will make arrangements early.

So, as soon as Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi returned to the rental house, they received a standard contract from the program team!

Wang Xiao had just turned on the computer and entered Shenbing's own live broadcast room to look at it. He found that there was still a popularity value of more than 5 million in the black screen live broadcast room, ranking first on Shenbing's platform now. The number of people online may be nearly 100,000, and the dense barrage of the screen has never stopped.

Wang Xiao did not show up in the live broadcast room, but just observed the situation and looked at most of the barrage. He was looking forward to his new songs. There was also some strange why Net Yiyun removed all the songs, etc. There was basically no barrage that would swear to him.

"Sitting to wait for Brother Xiao's new song."

"Brother Xiao, can't you find your song on the Internet?"

"Brother Xiao, Kaiguo and Shark also invested 15 million yuan to build the school together. What do you think?"

"Anchor, hurry up and sing."

…………

Because of yesterday's experience, Yueyaer and Mu Xizi were afraid that there would be many naval troops and trolls to set the rhythm today, so they guarded the live broadcast room and found that the naval troops and trolls were gone. They immediately spoke and chatted with others.

Wang Xiao remembered that the gift money he wanted to return to them last night had not been given yet, so he immediately transferred the money to the two of them on Q.

Yueyaer quickly replied: Brother Xiao, are you so serious?

Mu Xizi: Crying, trembling!

Wang Xiao: Get it soon. If you don’t listen to me next time, I will give you double the money and let you make money by watching live broadcast rewards.

Yueyaer quickly accepted: Brother Xiao, there is no next time. I heard that the Voice program team has come to Rongcheng. Is there anyone looking for you?

Mu Xizi also accepted the transfer and then silently refused to speak.

Wang Xiao replied to Yueyaer: I'm still talking, but I haven't decided!

Yueyaer: Come on, Brother Xiao, with your strength and such a nice voice, if they don’t choose you, then they will be blind. Last year, the champion of China went to the international stage and won the third place. With Brother Xiao, you will definitely be the first place and win glory for the country.

Yueyaer's confidence in Wang Xiao is not a little bit, but a brainless belief.

Wang Xiao: Thank you, I will try my best!

He was a little helpless.

Sometimes, most people want to win glory for their country, but they have no place to use it.

Many people's enthusiasm for winning glory for their country will instead be exploited and deterred by real power parties, becoming a weakness to be exploited, and ultimately paying a huge price to win glory for their country!

Zhu Ziqi was quickly browsing the details of the contract and whispered: "I heard a few years ago that the contracts of the Voice of China are becoming more and more domineering. I have never paid attention to it. Now it seems that this is not just domineering, but a bit bullying, which is simply selling one's contract."

Wang Xiao looked at Zhu Ziqi: "How to sell your body contract?"

Zhu Ziqi said: "After the contestants sign the contract, all actions need to obey the arrangements of the program team. Even the selection of songs is the same. They have to obey the arrangements of the program team, but there is a process of negotiation. After confirming the songs they need to sing, the program team will purchase the copyright of the cover of the relevant songs. The copyright fee is actually required to be paid by the contestants themselves. It is incredible! During the program, all copyrights of the contestants singing the song version belong to the program team, and the contestants who sing cannot enjoy the subsequent benefits..."

Wang Xiao frowned and asked, "Is it because of that incident three years ago?"

In the past, Shenzhou had a very weak awareness of copyright. He would cover any songs he wanted to cover. Some so-called folk singers became popular because of covering other people's songs, and then continued to cover songs to make a lot of money. This was equivalent to using other people's works to make money, and he did not give any fees to the original singer and copyright owner.

Three years ago, copyright began to tighten.

Several singers were sued by the original singer for covering other people's songs on variety shows, and the copyright holder finally won the lawsuit and was compensated for all the illegal income of the infringing singer and part of the infringing punishment fees!

Since then, the copyright of songs has become more stringent. All variety shows need to communicate with the copyright owner in advance and pay the corresponding copyright fee!

This has greatly increased the production costs of some music variety shows.

The Voice Program Team is no exception. In the past three years, it will pay for the copyright of the songs covered on the program every year...

However, at that time, the Voice of China program team had been popular for several years and had an absolutely strong attitude. The program team actually asked the contestants to pay a part of the copyright fee. This part of the fee can be paid to the Voice of China program team slowly when the contestants become famous in the future.

After all, the contestants who just participated in the Voice program team are basically all powerful and buried. Only after they appear in this way will they feel a sense of surprise. After participating in Voice, they will have more or less good development and are able to pay for this part of the fee.

Wang Xiao also saw relevant news at that time, as if the Voice program team wanted to take it all, and required the final top three contestants to sign the company where the program team was located to become its contracted singers. The commission ratio was very high, but it encountered a strong rebound, so it was left unresolved and did not take effect.

In short, in a word, winners want to take all the upstream and downstream, and the weak have no bargaining power, either join the exploited or leave.

Zhu Ziqi pointed to a line of text and said, "Haha, look here. The Voice Program Team will automatically own the copyright of all the works created by the contestants during the show. The contestants can share the copyright and use it for commercial performances themselves, but cannot authorize them to others for use..."

There are also a series of unilateral overbearing terms...

Wang Xiao said directly: "Stop watching, I can't agree to these conditions. Reply to them, if the contract cannot be changed, there is no need to discuss it. At worst, just don't go on the show."

Others don’t know the value of his songs, but he himself is very clear about them. They are all classic songs from another parallel world, all popular works proven by the market, and their long-term value is immeasurable.

Now he has already earned a lot of exclusive copyright fees and will continue to earn a steady stream of income in the future!

You invited me to participate in the show, but in the end you even swallowed all my works? Is it for you to work for nothing?

It does not exist.

reject!

According to what Wang Xiao said, Zhu Ziqi quickly replied in the email: "Sorry, this contract is too unfair to us, and we hope to renegotiate the details of the contract."

The other party did not respond.

Zhu Ziqi didn't care.

Wang Xiao is not a wandering singer who can't afford to eat, or an ordinary person who is eager to become famous, and his desire for a good voice is not that strong.

Wang Xiao thought to himself, he would rather call Xu Jing to explain. After all, the other party came to see him from afar, and if he just silently refused, it would be unauthentic.

The phone number was dialed!

It was connected soon.

Wang Xiao said, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Wang Xiao!"

Xu Jing was chatting with a few friends at the Conservatory of Music at this moment, but did not go to the audition meeting. He said politely: "Hello, Wang Xiao, I am waiting for your live broadcast tonight. The song was very good last night when it was dawn. I am looking forward to your new work today."

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your support. I am very happy if you like it. I want to talk to you about the Voice program. We just received a contract from the program team. This contract is a bit unfair. My agent and I feel that we can't agree."

Xu Jing came to the corridor outside, frowned and asked in confusion: "Contract issue? What are the specific ones?"

Wang Xiao said carefully: "It is just some things about copyright and management. We must completely obey all the arrangements of the program team. This is unlikely. The program process can be obeyed, but even the selection of works must be obeyed? Then what is needed is not a singer and musician, but just a puppet tool for singing. Also, the copyright of the work actually requires that all works during the program automatically belong to the program team... Mr. Xu, this is too domineering."

"You know, I like to sing my own songs. Then wouldn't it mean that I gave all my songs to the program team? Then I would rather never participate in this program forever. It's not interesting. This is not making music or digging out buried good voices. This is catching slaves."

"To be honest, I understand a little. Why has the quality of the players of Good Voice dropped sharply in recent years? Last year's champion only won the third place in the World Championship. Although there are foreign xenophobic factors, it is also true that our own players are too weak. I think any musician with ideals, strength and confidence will not agree to such a contract."

Wang Xiao's words made Xu Jing look a little bad. He was just one of the producers hired, not the decision-making level, and a role similar to an advisor.

He has never participated in contract matters, nor does he know that he only occasionally saw contestants and program teams fighting over contracts, but he never paid attention to them because the number of fights is still too few, and only occasionally one or two contestants will do this.

Most people choose to endure silently, thinking of becoming famous through this platform, and then jumping out.

In fact, this is not just a problem with the good voice, but also a common problem with several other variety shows that have been popular for several years!

Because the show has been popular for several consecutive years and has brand bonuses, the producers remain strong and take advantage of the contract if they can take advantage!

However, the Voice show is definitely the darkest, no doubt about it!

Because most of the players of Good Voice are unfamous newcomers or losers who fail to debut, and have no capital to bargain!

Most other variety shows invite big-name stars or former big-name stars, so the other party still has the capital to bargain and will not be eaten by the producers.

Moreover, there are so many homogeneous programs now. If you bully people too much in the contract, other celebrity singers who have capital will go to another similar program and can compare prices.

Only the Voice of Good is not discussed, and several similar programs have not been done, so they are far less powerful than Voice of Good. Especially after last year's international competition, the international response was very strong. Voice of Good is almost the only one in the music talent show, which also makes the producers more domineering.

Unless you have a deep background, you will be exploited.

Xu Jing whispered: "I don't know the contract issue for the time being. I'll ask the program team and then discuss it with them and let them communicate with you!"

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your concern and love for me. However, I don't think it's trouble for Mr. Xu. They are unlikely to modify the contract for me alone. Also, the program team is so strong that I am a soft person and not a hard person. If I join in, there will be friction in the future, it will be bad. So, I won't go."

Xu Jing said seriously: "Don't worry, with your strength, you should participate. You were invited by me. If anyone makes things difficult for you, you should just tell me. I'll go to them to talk about your contract issue, and don't say anything to give up."

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Well, okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Xu."

To be honest, Wang Xiao didn't expect Xu Jing to be so persistent about letting him join the Good Voice, and he himself was not so obsessed with it.

"Well, wait for my news."

Xu Jing said, then put down the phone and went to find the people from the program team.

At the same time, he also used his mobile phone to ask the people from the legal department of the program team to send him a standard contract. After a brief look, he became angry. This is the contract to exploit and bully newcomers. No wonder he has not invited truly powerful contestants in the past two years!

Others can survive even if they have the strength and cannot do live broadcasts in internet celebrities. Why do you want to be a slave for you?

However, he also saw another contract, which was planned to be selected for contestants from the Conservatory this year. This contract is much normal. Although there are some relatively strong restrictions, it is not a purely squeezed contract, but a cooperation contract!

Wang Xiao is not from a big-name music academy, nor is there anyone behind it. Naturally, they cannot give preferential treatment, it is just a slave contract!

In the audition meeting, several professional musicians were inspecting the ten contestants of the Conservatory of Music, including Chen Xiaoyue!

Ma Hua, Hu Xiaocheng and Zhang Yufeng stood in the backstage to watch.

Xu Jing walked over angrily, stared at Hu Xiaocheng and Ma Hua and said, "Did you formulate the standard contract for the newcomer?"

Ma Hua and Hu Xiaocheng looked at each other, then Hu Xiaocheng nodded and said, "We discussed and formulated it with the people from the Ministry of Justice. Each one complies with the regulations."

Xu Jing sneered: "Haha, what regulations are in line with? Is it in line with your own interests? Treat all the players as slaves? As black as they can be? I said that the quality of the players in the past two years has plummeted, and some of the powerful players who were originally coming have finally refused. It turns out that the problem lies here!"

MCA said slightly strongly: "Old Xu, this is approved by the group and the TV station."
