In the living room of Xu Chuan's house, Lin Mengying, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke to Xu Chuan and said: "There is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time. You specifically asked me to talk about "Produce 101" in the response video. Do you sell ideas?”
When Xu Chuan heard this, he glanced at Lin Mengying first, then nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
"Then you may be disappointed. They won't buy it from you. The most likely thing is to copy it directly." After Lin Mengying thought about it, she felt that it was still necessary to remind Xu Chuan.
"I know."
"I know you still let me mention it?"
"Everything you mention or not will be seen by others. I have already written it into the novel." Xu Chuan said nonchalantly.
The development of variety shows has a strong market logic. If you don’t put forward your own ideas, sooner or later the market will sweep them away.
"What would you do if someone really copied your idea?" Lin Mengying asked curiously.
Faced with Lin Mengying's question, Xu Chuan said without any hesitation: "If you copy it, just copy it."
"Listening to what you said, you are clearly waiting for others to copy it." Lin Mengying suddenly understood Xu Chuan's thoughts.
"That's what I mean." Xu nodded.
"Why, since you have ideas in your mind, why don't you wait until you become popular and have resources before you use them to seek cooperation?" Lin Mengying asked in confusion.
"I have a lot of ideas, not least these two. Besides, selling ideas is worth a lot of money. If my ideas are copied, the things I use this gimmick to create are truly valuable. People are doing primitive accumulation. Sometimes you can't want everything, you have to give up to get something." Xu Chuan said with a smile.
When talking about his choice, Xu Chuan's tone of voice was much firmer.
Whether creativity is valuable or not depends entirely on your actual situation.
Whether it is a variety show or a movie or TV series, there is a big difference between writing a song or even a book.
According to Article 15, Paragraph 1 of the Copyright Law, the copyright of film works and works created using methods similar to filmmaking is enjoyed by the producers.
In other words, Xu Chuan’s creativity is like the design drawings used when building a house. Construction workers are involved in the building process, and finally soft furnishings of various brands are introduced.
Everyone is the builder of this house. Workers can point to this house and say, I laid the bricks, and brands can say that I sold their sofas. This is called the right of signature.
But in the final analysis, the house belongs to the owner. In the end, whether someone rents or sells it has nothing to do with other people. This is called copyright.
As a fledgling "designer" in Xuchuan, the owner just signs a contract with you and pays you some design fees. Do you still want to divide the owner's property rights?
Moreover, this is based on the premise that Xu Chuan is really a "designer". The content he has written in the novel is not even a complete design drawing. At most, it is to tell others about the idea of building a house like this. "sketch".
"Sketches" are not protected by copyright, just like ideas and ideas for writing novels are not protected. The law clearly stipulates this.
For a complete variety show planning proposal, the process content shown in the finished film only accounts for a small part. The series of behind-the-scenes work behind it is the highlight, and this thing is protected.
But Xu Chuan doesn't have the ability to do a complete planning project now. He has never participated in the production of variety shows and has no concept of many things.
"Hey, what if someone asks you to cooperate?"
"That would be even better. I will directly join the creative team and learn the entire process. If this show becomes popular, I will go to someone with a new creative plan to discuss cooperation, and the harvest will be different. "In the final analysis, Xu Chuan wants to make a case for himself in the variety show market.
"You win no matter what the co-authorship is?" Lin Mengying was a little speechless when Xu Chuan said it.
"Otherwise, I can't even imagine how I could lose." Xu Chuan said with a smile.
"Do you know it's easy for people like you to have no friends?"
Xu Chuan was startled when he heard this, and many more pictures flashed through his mind uncontrollably. He nodded and said, "I know, it's past nine o'clock, you should go back."
"Aren't you going to send me off? Just let me go home alone?"
"Send it away, of course. By the way, Wanwan is gone. Remember to close the door tightly at night."
"You have some conscience and you know how to care about me, huh, let's go." Lin Mengying's mood changed quickly. At this time, she could no longer see the entanglement just now.
Looking at Lin Mengying who started to put on a hat, a mask and sunglasses, Xu Chuan also ran to the room to find some equipment and came out to disguise himself.
He is now a well-known meme on the Internet, so we need to take precautions.
Soon, two men who looked like they were going to be thieves came out.
About 15 minutes later, Xu Chuan drove Lin Mengying's car to her door.
Lin Mengying didn't invite Xu Chuan to sit in, and she wouldn't go in if she invited Xu Chuan. It was really inconvenient for Fu Wanwan to be away.
"By the way, don't sleep in late tomorrow. I made an appointment with the teacher to record music for us. You can drive over to pick me up tomorrow. Good night, sweet dreams." After Lin Mengying finished speaking, she wiggled her fingers at Xu Chuan and then closed the door gently. .
the next day····
“A seed is planted in my heart, click click click~~~”
Xu Chuan's singing sounded in a recording studio. When he sang, a man sitting in front of the MIDI keyboard would play the melody he just sang and record it into the computer. This method of notation is very common.
Xu Chuan has sung it completely before, and now he is singing it line by line in order to compare and find the version he wants more.
In the studio, Lin Mengying was sitting on the sofa against the wall, covering her mouth. In the corner, there was Xiong Jia, who was holding up a mobile phone to take pictures while suppressing laughter until his body shook.
The filming was firstly for commemoration, and secondly, to prevent the work from being misappropriated by teachers who cheated on the score. Having this video is equivalent to having some evidence.
Of course, after finishing the score, I will record an unaccompanied or simple accompaniment demo for copyright registration, so the purpose of taking a souvenir as a behind-the-scenes material is larger.
"If you keep doing this, I won't sing anymore. When I sing, you laugh. When I sing, you laugh." Xu Chuan couldn't stand it anymore as he sang, and the two people opposite him were so annoying.
"Did we laugh? We didn't laugh." Lin Mengying said with an innocent look.
"You secretly laughed and never stopped."
"You have wronged me." Lin Mengying continued to look innocent.
"Hehehehehehe." At this moment, Xiong Jia's laughter came, and she couldn't bear it anymore.
When she smiled, other people present, including Xu Chuan himself, couldn't help laughing.
There's nothing I can do about it, Xiong Jia's laughter is too magical.
Needless to say, the people around Lin Mengying all had distinctive smiles. Fu Wanwan smiled like a goose, and Xiong Jia was a heavyweight. It turned out that some people really laughed in the standard "hee hee hee" way.
After laughing for a while, Lin Mengying seemed to realize that she shouldn't laugh, so she patted Xiong Jia and said, "Don't laugh, don't laugh, what about that, Teacher Liu, let's continue."
Teacher Liu is the man who is helping Xu Chuan pick up scores. His full name is Liu Jin. He suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Teacher Xu, let's continue and don't be disturbed by off-site factors. If you are really not used to it, let's You can turn around."
Naturally, Xu Chuan did not turn around. Fortunately, the melody of "Outbreak of Courage" was relatively simple. Soon, the score recording was over. After playing back the recorded melody several times, Xu Chuan felt that there was no problem.
"Then let me record a demo?" Lin Mengying said after seeing that Xu Chuan had no objection to the melody. With outsiders around, her tone became much gentler.
"Wait for me for ten minutes. I'll just make a simple piano chord." Liu Jin said with a smile.
After about an hour, Lin Mengying’s demo was finished recording.
"Teacher Liu, when do you think the accompaniment will be ready?" Lin Mengying asked after the recording.
"Three days. I'll call you in three days. After adding mixing and mastering, it can be done in a week."
"That's great, thank you for your hard work." Lin Mengying smiled sweetly when she heard this, and then bowed slightly to Liu Jin.
"Oh, I don't dare, Teacher Lin is too polite."
"Um, Teacher Liu, do you still have time today?" While the two were being polite, Xu Chuan suddenly interrupted.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin turned to look at Xu Chuan and asked doubtfully, "Yes, do you want it?"
"Oh, I have another song here. I want you to help me find the score and help me with the accompaniment."
"This..." Liu Jin did not answer immediately after hearing this, but turned to look at Lin Mengying.
Lin Mengying was also a little confused now. Xu Chuan didn't say anything about this, but she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled and said: "Oh, yes, yes, I forgot about this. Teacher Liu, I have to give you a hard time." .”
Seeing that Lin Mengying had said this, Liu Jin naturally had no objection. After all, making a song is worth the price of a song.
