Chen Xinyu held the mouse, moved the pointer to the text of the error prompt with some trembling, and clicked heavily.
"Failure code 403: Xinghai Entertainment has filed a formal request to this site to prohibit any unauthorized adaptation or re-creation of the voices, images and appearances of the company's registered artists, so as not to damage the image of the company's artists."
"aefxx?"
Chen Xinyu couldn't hold back and uttered a curse word!
"You still have such a request? Why is Xinghai Entertainment so busy? What if I just use the voice of one of their artists?"
He hurriedly opened several other ghost works on the website to see if this was what happened.
Then he desperately discovered that this seemed to be the case, but all the ghost videos related to Xinghai Entertainment’s contracted artists had been removed from the shelves by Station B.
It seems that other entertainment companies have not yet done this, but Xiao Chen used the voice of Liu Yiliang, an artist from Xinghai Entertainment!
Rounding things off, isn’t this Xinghai Entertainment targeting itself?
You, Xinghaishiduo, why don't other companies do this?
He slammed the table so hard that the keyboard and mouse jumped.
"Hey, why didn't you announce this rule earlier? I wasted a whole week!"
Looking at the music editing software that covered his screen with editing blocks, Chen Xinyu felt a wave of resentment rushing straight to his forehead, and then a deep feeling of powerlessness.
"It's no wonder, recently there are always UP owners using celebrities' voices to make some funny, even spoof videos. If I were an entertainment company, I would also file an image protection request with Station B in order to protect the image of the singer..."
I understand, but how can Chen Xinyu, who has just felt the fun and charm of ghost animals, be willing to let go of this interesting new gameplay?
What's more, he made hundreds of dollars from this before. Could it be said that this newly discovered gold mine can no longer be used in the future?
It is conceivable that other music companies will soon follow Xinghai's footsteps and announce that they will not allow ghost producers to use the voices of their own singers to protect the image and rights of their own singers.
"Really, oh, it's so hard to find such an interesting thing. It's really sad..."
While grumbling, he subconsciously opened a chat group called "Ghost Lovers" to see what the fellows in the group thought of this matter.
As a result, as soon as I opened the chat group, I saw an overwhelming 999 unread chat records.
"Guys, what can we do? Damn Xinghai Music has blocked their singers' voices and won't allow us to use them to make ghosts anymore!"
"I just spent two weeks making a song called "Lego" by Junjun, but when I uploaded it, I got a 403. I bought a watch last year!"
"That's right, I just made a piece of Liu Yiliang's "Red Rose". I wanted the idol to sing both roses, but they didn't allow it to be uploaded. Damn it!"
"Xinghai Entertainment has so many things going on, why didn't Feiyang and Guangguang issue this rule? Just because they are the boss of the three giants, they are being unreasonable, right?"
"Hahahaha, you guys are so unlucky. I just made a silly song called "Above the Moon" using the voice of Riko Shine, and uploaded it right away!"
"Rikosei of Rays? Haha, don't be too happy first. The three giants often act together. Maybe in a few days, Rays will also issue such a rule and prohibit you from using their singer's voice. You will be blinded immediately. !」
"That's right. Xinghai has already taken action, and Feiyang and Guangguang must have followed suit. Maybe someone is writing an objection copy?"
"It's so fucking f**king hard. I finally found something fun, but it's going to be banned immediately, and I'm not letting anyone enjoy it anymore!"
"That's right, Uncle Kan's invention just touched my heart. This way, many of my favorite singers can sing my favorite songs. How perfect is this? Why don't they allow it? ?」
"Copyright is all driven by profit. In this era with such strong copyright awareness, if you use other singers to sing unauthorized songs, it will definitely infringe. I was aware of this and wanted to earn money before they could react. I didn’t expect their response to be so quick!”
"It's all the fault of those black sheep. They insist on using the voices of big stars to dub the voices of some banned films, and they also use the voices of singers from Xinghai to make some pornographic songs. It's weird that they are not banned!"
"These people are annoying, but what should we do in the future? Isn't this new art of ghost animal all over as soon as it rises? This is too short-lived!"
"Brothers, stop for a moment. I see that the notice says that it cannot be used without authorization. So if we apply for authorization from them, can't we use it at will? "
"Haha, naive, you have such a beautiful idea! God knows how much it will cost to apply for authorization from them, and how long it will take to wait for a reply. If they say that applying for a singer's authorization costs 10,000 yuan, will you give it too?"
"Yes, for entertainment companies like them, if they apply for less copyright, they won't like it, and if we apply for more copyright, we can't afford it. Maybe they just say that and don't provide authorization at all to prevent the singer's voice from being used. Using it as an illegal piece of audio will damage the image of the singer. It’s better to do less than to do more.”
"Yes, and Bilibili itself, as a video publishing platform, probably doesn't want to see such a thing happen. They themselves will also take responsibility for it. I guess they will also reject the submission of such works outright. , resolve possible legal disputes once and for all!”
"What I said makes sense..."
Looking at these discussions in the group, Chen Xinyu's heart sank.
"Oh, it's so annoying. Copyright is indeed an unavoidable hurdle...but is ghost art really like this? It will be attacked as soon as it appears, and then be buried in the garbage heap of history?"
He sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
However, just when he was sighing and frustrated looking at the ghost video that he had worked so hard to make but could not publish, a new piece of content suddenly popped up in the chat group.
"Don't be too frustrated. Anyway, only Xinghai in the industry has issued this regulation now. Other companies have not followed up. Just do what you can. The ghost beasts I made for Feiyang Ling Buwei can be submitted normally. There are already 200,000 views earned me 400 yuan.”
Someone left a message like this, which also made some creators feel the same way.
"Yes, I made Wang Yuchang's "The Drunken Concubine" which has 150,000 views. Whether they allow it to be done or not is a matter for the future. Let's do it first. We won't talk about it until they don't allow it. Let's get rid of this wave of popularity first. Well."
someone replied.
"Oh, this is all we can do for the time being. I don't know when other companies will follow suit. It would be great if Uncle Kan has some good ideas to help us. After all, he is the inventor of ghost art..."
Chen Xinyu also expressed his opinions gloomily. The ghost business was hit hard just after it started, so he could only take it one step at a time as these group friends said.
The third of the three sons of the Wang family, Wang Leiming, the boss of Leiming Film and Television, has been very happy recently.
Without him, the TV series "Return to the Qin Dynasty", which he had previously directed, achieved good results with a final ratings of 2.9%. Then he defeated his two brothers and was appointed by his father as the helmsman of the family business and in charge of the family. A multi-billion dollar entertainment industry.
Recently, Dongfeng, whose previous "Return to the Qin Dynasty" was very popular, Leiming Film and Television, which he personally oversees, has also received a script for a new TV series.
This script is quite famous. It comes from the famous work "The Golden Family" by Mr. Zhang Shuisheng, a famous literary artist in Xia Dynasty. It tells an epic love story between two lovers with disparate status in the early part of the last century. It has a considerable historical status in the domestic literary world.
This time, because his film and television company has gained a reputation in the industry, Wang Leiming's appetite has greatly expanded.
He even dared to adapt such a literary work with a huge historical halo into a TV series. He also spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Zhang, the great-grandson of Mr. Zhang Shuisheng, as the special director of the show. He also participated in the opening ceremony of TV series across the country. Enough limelight in front of me.
"Lao Lu, this time we spent such a large sum of money to buy the adaptation rights of "The Golden Family". You must keep an eye on the crew and make sure nothing goes wrong this year. In the second half of the year, we at Thunder Pictures will continue to compete for the top spot in the domestic ratings with this drama!"
Wang Leiming was sitting in the executive chair in his office, smoking a huge cigar with great satisfaction while arranging the next work with his right-hand man, Lao Lu.
"Please help me keep an eye on the actors. Although the male protagonist is only thirty years old, he has been starring in TV series since he was a teenager. He has already accumulated enough acting experience, so he should be more worry-free."
Mr. Wang looked into Lao Lu's eyes and gave him very serious instructions.
"But this actress is only 24 years old and has just graduated from film school. In addition to her amazingly beautiful face, her acting skills and professional attitude are a bit unsatisfactory..."
He pressed his temples with a headache and continued.
"But we can't afford to offend someone's family relationship, so if something happens to her there, you have to be gentler when handling it, and try not to offend anyone as much as possible..."
With that said, he stood up, walked to Lao Lu who was sitting on the sofa nearby, and patted his shoulder sincerely.
"I understand, Mr. Wang, I, Lao Lu, have been working with you for so many years and you still don't understand me. Just be at ease about this. I know what to do."
Lao Lu did a great job last time when he helped Mr. Wang take full charge of the work related to "Return to the Qin Dynasty". Not only did he get another half-level promotion in rank, but he also received a private reward from Mr. Wang after he won the family competition. 500,000 personal bonuses.
So when preparing for the filming of the new TV series, I was very concerned. If the TV series became popular again, wouldn't I be able to directly become the vice president and start receiving dividends from the company as Mr. Wang said?
"Well, that's good. I've always felt at ease with you, Lao Lu."
Mr. Wang nodded and expressed his recognition of his capable subordinates.
"But there is one more thing that requires you to pay more attention to."
He turned around, put out his half-smoked cigar in the ashtray, and sat down on the sofa next to Lao Lu with a heavy heart.
"You're talking about the opening song of the new TV series, right? Indeed, this opening song is very important and is directly related to the publicity strategy and effectiveness of the entire TV series. Just like last time we chose Jiang Kan's song for "Return to the Qin Dynasty" Just like "Destiny", the opening theme song is well written, which directly helps the TV series' ratings to take off!"
Lao Lu had worked with the other party for many years, so he naturally knew what the other party wanted to say next, so he picked up the conversation smoothly.
"Yes, that's right, the title song is very important. We invested 30 million this time to shoot this TV series, and also attracted nearly 20 million investment from outside. The total production cost is 50 million. We must ensure the quality of the TV series. Impeccable!」
"Well, you see, since we have worked very well with Jiang Kan from Feiyang Entertainment before, should we continue to invite him to write the opening song for this new TV series for us this time?"
Lao Lu followed Mr. Wang's words. Personally, he had a good impression of Jiang Kan. He also particularly admired the song "Destiny is the Highest", not to mention other songs he created during this period. Songs, "A Laugh in the Sea", "Butterfly Love", "The Love of a Lifetime"... isn't that a popular classic? Moreover, it has also greatly promoted the film and television works to which these songs belong. It can be said that he is now the most popular custom single composer in Xia'nan area!
"Well, Jiang Kan is indeed very talented. We must contact him if we contact him."
Mr. Wang nodded when he heard this, but he did not agree immediately as Lao Lu expected.
"but……?"
Listen to the boss
There seemed to be something in there, and Lao Lu immediately asked alertly.
"However, recently a very famous composer with a very strong international reputation returned to our Yangcheng from abroad. He was intercepted by Xinghai Entertainment directly from the airport and brought back to their company. Now it seems that he has been with Xinghai The contract was signed..."
Mr. Wang has been in the entertainment industry for most of his life, and he is very sensitive to these news. He can't hide any disturbances in the industry from his eyes.
"The master composer named Xu Zhongsheng has won numerous awards in the United States and Europe, and even won an Academy Award for Best Music! We cannot miss such a gold medal composer."
"So, what you are saying is that we should issue a competition list this time and let this master compete with composers from other companies in Yangcheng, especially Jiang Kan, to see whose works are better and we will choose them. of?"
Lao Lu knew everything, and he had heard of Master Xu Zhongsheng for a long time.
Now that he has returned to China and happens to be in our own city of Yangcheng, it would be unreasonable not to contact him if we want to create new TV series music.
"Master Xu's composition style is a little more Omi, but that doesn't matter. He often composes for Asian movies... Anyway, let's get in touch first, and we'll talk about it later."
Mr. Wang nodded and said cautiously.
"Okay, I understand. I will arrange this next. Just wait for my good news!"
Lao Lu said that he completely received it, patting his chest and making a promise.
