Chapter 9

According to song Ya's plan, the song thriftshop would better be put into Xiao Luorui's new college. After all, part of his "inspiration" comes from the boss of the pink suit and bass music company.

In his mind, the "adaptation" design of the original song is that little Lori is in charge of the rap part, and the bass boss is going to sing those very brainwashing ballads.

He didn't hate little Lori, and if he avoided the failure of his new college, he could solve Tony's "employment" problem, and he could also get royalties from his lyrics and songs, killing three birds with one stone.

However, in this way, he must rush to the new special card tape production in xiaoluorui, and put the plan into practice as soon as possible. The time is not enough.

The purse is even less affluent.

The LCD number on the timer kept beating, and he sat down across from Goodman.

"Liquid!"

Goodman learned the black tone and manner: "you made the right decision, bro!" He clenched his right hand and reached for song ya.

Song Ya didn't give a response, instead, he stiffened his face and stared at him coldly.

"Sorry."

Goodman said, "forget about what I did, sorry, sorry..." He awkwardly withdrew his fist and repeatedly apologized, "I was so excited just now. Business is not good recently Mr. Song, I'm very, very sorry. "

Most of the time, other races are afraid of black people. Even honest black people occasionally use this to test each other's vanity and reality. Song Ya has been able to grasp his discretion flexibly after such a long time. The key lies in his eyes and must be murderous.

"Just call me Alec, the first question."

Taking advantage of the other party's flaws, song Ya is 80% sure that the other party has no strong background and is not brave enough. He takes out his notebook and looks at it and asks, "is it necessary for the guardian to sign a contract under the age of 18?"

"Of course."

Goodman quickly went to the filing cabinet, opened a drawer, "or the guardian signed a power of attorney to entrust someone else with custody." He found a document and handed it to song ya. "This is a standard form of power of attorney, but if you want to entrust part of the custody, you need the help of a lawyer. Wait... "

He scanned song Ya carefully from top to bottom, "how old are you this year?"

"Fifteen, what's the matter?" Song Ya looks at the document and replies casually.

“FXXX！”

Goodman angrily scolded a dirty word: "you cheated me just now, you little clever ghost!"

It doesn't matter if you are found out just now, "the second question..." Song Ya continued.

"What did you write? It's too inefficient for us to answer questions one by one. "

But I didn't expect that Goodman was that kind of personality of pedaling his nose and face. In order to compensate for his shyness, he stretched out his hand and took the notebook from Song Ya's hand. "Let me have a look. Well, the copyright transfer of songs, the rights and interests of music albums are divided into..."

He muttered about finding the relevant documents from the filing cabinet and throwing them to song Ya one by one.

"That's all about it, but these standard formats don't really work." Goodman returned to his seat. "These laws are flexible. Hollywood and the music industry have their own ways to play. It's important to find a good agent."

"I've checked the information. Isn't there a few associations that can protect the rights and interests of songwriters and the copyright of songs?" Song Ya asked.

"You mean ASCAP, BMI and so on?" "First of all, they only serve the interests of the association members. To become a member, you have to pay a sum of money. BMI is more expensive, ASCAP is cheaper. Then you have to publish your works. Do you have them? If so, they usually send you an invitation. "

"No, I'm here for legal advice on my first song." Song Ya answered truthfully.

"You see, that's the problem." Goodman spread out his hands: "if you don't publish your work and you're invited, you're not eligible to be a member, and if you don't, it's a paradox, isn't it?"

Song Ya was a little dizzy, "what about copyright? I won't lose the copyright of lyrics and music, will I? For example, they were forcibly occupied by music companies. "

Goodman laughed. "This possibility can't be avoided. Hollywood supports so many brokers, managers, lawyers, accountants and so on. Why? Isn't it because there are so many such things? "

"Still, find a good agent." He suggested again.

"What if I meet a" bad "agent? According to what you said, if I don't publish my works in public, no agent will look on me, and if no agent sees me, I will never be able to publish my works. This is also a paradox! " Song Ya is a little depressed. The gap between ideal and reality is a little far.

"It's hard to get into this business, boy."Goodman pointed to song ya, "black like you Cough I see a lot of African American children, sitting in the back of the bus, humming songs, listening to the Walkman while holding a pencil to write and draw on small pieces of paper, dreaming of becoming famous, right? Unfortunately, the reality is very cruel, the capital society will only naturally eliminate a very small part of the pyramid tip. How many famous singers have appeared in Chicago in recent ten years? If you divide it in proportion to the population, you can get what your chances of success are. There are also those boys and girls who go to Los Angeles to seek dreams. How many people can play good roles in a year? Most people are losers. You can't see them. Face up to your abilities and don't spend money on unrealistic dreams. "

"Nonsense, am I the same as them? Laozi is a wearer, with a plug-in! " Song Ya turned a white eye and make complaints about it.

The two exchanged views for a period of time. Goodman looked at Song Ya and felt that song Ya didn't want to give up. He didn't want to persuade him again: "if you want to copyright, I'll give you some advice. First of all, you should keep all the evidence, including the manuscript of your composition. Don't lose it. You can use it in copyright lawsuit. You'd better record all your songs in a demo, Because singing is also a kind of copyright.

"Second, you can take the lyrics and demos to ASCAP for copyright filing. It's about twenty dollars. Note that this is just a record, and it doesn't mean ASCAP recognizes your copyright. If ASCAP wants to recognize your copyright, it will take hundreds of dollars and several months for ASCAP to recognize your copyright, because they have to do such work as comparison, and you still can't become a member."

"Finally, it's a good strategy for the first few years of the industry to increase the proportion of the broker's share. In any case, the broker's contract should not exceed three years. If you are not satisfied, you will not be able to change people as soon as the time is up. If you can really get into the business, you will be eligible to become a member of ASCAP or BMI. At that time, the various help provided by the association can also share the work of some brokers. Many difficulties you are facing now will not be difficult at that time. "

With that, Goodman pointed to the timer. It was fifty-five minutes.

Song Ya felt that he was still very conscientious and benefited a lot. He got up and solemnly shook hands with him to say goodbye, "thank you." Take out thirty-five knives and pass them to each other.

"Er Consultation fee is consultation fee. You also need to pay the information fee, a ten dollar Goodman refers to the documents that song Ya took into his briefcase.

“……”

Song Ya quickly took out all the documents, picked out a useful Guardian agreement, and then took out ten knives, together with other documents, returned them to Goodman.

"Niggard!" Goodman cursed, and he carefully checked the notes he received. "You're from Nancheng, aren't you?" He asked suddenly.

"Yes, why?"

"Be careful with those who pay for the contract in cash." Goodman flicked the note in his hand: "you south city black African Americans like to accept cash payments because they can evade taxes. Once he evades taxes and after the tax season, he breaks his contract, but you dare not sue him easily because he is only facing litigation when the contract is exposed, and you have to face the IRS, understand? "

Song Ya knows the strength of the IRS. The most famous Chicago mafia boss, alcapen, is in the hands of the IRS, which is more terrible than the FBI.

Thanks again, he left Goodman.
