On the night that Zhao Wanqing finished her scenes and left, Hong Tianchou held a farewell party for her in the hotel to thank her. He was so happy that he got drunk.
Fortunately, the next day, Xiao Yunhai held up the stall for him. Under his guidance, Xiao Yunhai perfectly filmed all the scenes for the day, which could be considered as helping the crew out of their predicament.
According to the plan, there was only a week until the end of filming for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Xiao Yunhai was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground.
At ten o 'clock that night, Xiao Yunhai dragged his tired body back to the hotel.
He had just taken a hot shower and was about to go to bed in a daze when Xiao Yunhai's phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Su Yingxue.
After Zhao Wanqing finished her scenes, Su Yingxue saw that Xiao Yunhai had nothing else to do, so she went back to Beijing with Zhao Wanqing.
She must have something important to tell him since it was so late and she was still calling him. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai did not dare to be negligent and quickly picked up the phone.
"Yunhai, something happened."
Sure enough, Su Yingxue's first sentence made Xiao Yunhai's heart tighten.
"Sister Xue, don't worry. The sky won't fall. Take your time. "
Xiao Yunhai was able to keep calm when something big happened. His ups and downs in the entertainment industry in his previous life allowed him to do that.
Su Yingxue calmed down a lot when she heard Xiao Yunhai's calm voice. She slowly told Xiao Yunhai what had happened.
It turned out that Hongda Music, which was under Hongda Entertainment Group, had just signed a three-year cooperation agreement with Tianhua Media. The agreement was from February 1999 to February 2002. All the singers of Tianhua Media had to upload the songs in the album to Hongda Music one month after the release of the album. Hongda Music would promote and release the songs on the Internet.
For this reason, Hongda Music had to pay Tianhua Media 100 million yuan a year. The profit distribution of the album songs ranged from 5: 5 to 9: 1. At the same time, Hongda Music had to unconditionally help promote the songs of Tianhua Media's singers.
Xiao Yunhai had signed an album contract with Tianhua Media, and his album had been released for a month. According to the contract, all the songs in "Fairy Tale" had to be uploaded to Hongda Music. In terms of profit, the other party only offered 6: 4.
When Su Yingxue heard the news, she naturally firmly disagreed.
What a joke. Now Xiao Yunhai's album sales had exceeded 16 million. Although it was impossible to reach the goal of being crowned emperor, such sales were definitely the best result in the Chinese music industry in the past five years. No one could surpass it. Even the kings and queens were envious.
More importantly, the ten songs in "Fairy Tale" were simply amazing. Each of them could be the title song. Once uploaded to the Internet, they would definitely become popular.
Such an album was only offered 6: 4. When Su Yingxue received a call from Xue Renji, the person in charge of Hongda Music, she almost went crazy. She immediately replied to the other party, "You're crazy about money."
Su Yingxue put down the phone angrily. Before she could catch her breath, Zhang Xuedong called.
He told her that the company's executives had discussed and agreed to Hongda Music's offer. They hoped that she could sign a contract with Hongda Entertainment as soon as possible.
When Su Yingxue heard the news, she was suddenly angry. After a long silence, she said, "The copyright of the songs is in Yunhai's hands. I'll discuss it with him."
After hanging up Zhang Xuedong's phone, Su Yingxue immediately called Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Sister Xue, you're right. This Hongda Entertainment has really gone mad from poverty. They're actually fantasizing about using me to make money for them. It's simply a fantasy."
All the songs in Xiao Yunhai's album were written by himself. The copyright was in his hands. Tianhua Media only had the right to distribute the album.
Therefore, even if Tianhua Media signed the agreement, it would have no effect.
If that wasn't the case, Zhang Xuedong wouldn't have called Su Yingxue at all. He would have just given the songs to them. There was no need to ask for their opinion.
Su Yingxue said, "I knew you would say that. But don't forget that your singer and actor contracts are signed with the company. If you don't do as the company says, I'm worried that the company will be dissatisfied with you. "
"But if I give the songs to Hongda, it's equivalent to breaching the contract. I forgot to tell you that before I joined Tianhua, I had already signed a contract with Jiujiu for three years. The contract stipulates that all the songs I wrote will be given to them to distribute. If I want to change companies, I'll have to pay at least 300 million yuan. "
"300 million yuan? That's a lot. "
"That's right. It's my fault that I wasn't famous at that time. Jiujiu spared no effort to advertise for me. Do you think I don't have to pay the price? "
"Then what should we do? I'll explain the situation to the company. I think they'll understand. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "It's useless. For the company to agree to this plan, they must have received benefits from Hongda Entertainment in other ways. Otherwise, wouldn't they be fools to do this? Using my personal benefits in exchange for the company's benefits, they really thought it through. "
Although Xiao Yunhai didn't know what benefits Tianhua Media had received from this, he was 100% sure that his own benefits had been betrayed by the company.
If it were other singers who encountered this situation, they could only swallow their anger because they didn't have the ability to compose and couldn't write good songs. They could only rely on the company to collect songs for them.
Xiao Yunhai, on the other hand, had the entire world's music resources. Other than Tianhua Media's distribution channels, he didn't need any help from the company. He could write and sing his own songs.
Some outstanding songwriters could make entertainment companies take the initiative to curry favor with them because they could write good songs. And these good songs were the most important strategic resources for a music company.
However, Xiao Yunhai didn't want to cause too much trouble with Tianhua Entertainment. After all, his singer and actor contracts were signed here. If he wanted to release a record or act in the future, he would need the company's approval.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and asked, "Sister Xue, how long has the company and Hongda been negotiating this agreement?"
"A week."
"A week? That's easy. Go and reply to Mr. Zhang. Tell him that my album's songs have been handed over to Jiujiu Music two days ago and can't be handed over to Hongda. If Hongda really wants this album, then let them pay the 300 million yuan penalty for me first. "
Su Yingxue said, "I understand. You're taking drastic measures."
"That's right. I suspect that Xia Chengfeng is behind this again. This guy is haunting me all day. Sooner or later, I'll kick him out of the entertainment industry, "Xiao Yunhai said hatefully.
