In the copyright world of the entertainment industry, there are always disputes that attract speculation like suspense dramas. This is not, on the 29th, singer Zhao Chuan's Weibo set off a big wave. Instead of complaining casually, he shouted directly to the crew of "Flowers": "Why do you use my songs, but not contact me to buy copyright?" It turns out that the crew played Zhao Chuan's version of "I am a Little Bird" in the TV series, but did not say hello to him.
As soon as this Weibo post was posted, netizens exploded. The comment area instantly turned into a debate arena, with some people supporting Zhao Chuan defending his rights, while others felt that the crew might have made an inadvertent mistake. However, in places like the entertainment industry, can inadvertent mistakes be exempted from responsibility? Of course not.
At this point, we have to mention the complex and rigorous copyright law system of our country. This includes copyright and neighboring rights. We all understand copyright, that is, the creator's right to copy, publish and disseminate information on the network. What about neighboring rights? To put it simply, it is the rights of the performers and the producers of audio and video recordings.
The recording right mentioned by Zhao Chuan this time belongs to the performer's right in the neighboring right. This means that as a performer, he has the right to authorize others to broadcast live or publicly transmit his live performance, as well as to authorize others to record, distribute and receive remuneration for the recording of his performance. This is no small matter, after all, every artist's hard work should be rewarded.
So, did the "Flowers" crew step on the minefield this time? Judging from the current situation, it is indeed possible. However, the specific situation can only be determined after further communication and consultation between the two sides. But in any case, this incident has sounded the alarm for the entertainment industry: on the issue of copyright, we must not be careless!
As for the copyright scene between Zhao Chuan and the crew of Flower, how will it end in the end? Let's just wait and see! Maybe there will be a new revelation in a few days.
The behind-the-scenes entanglement between Zhao Chuan and the producer of "Flower": an unfinished "Music and Film"
The reporter tried to dial Zhao Chuan's phone yesterday, hoping to get some clues from him. However, what came from the other end of the phone was a cold response from the staff: "No interview, no response." A few short words, like a cold wall, cut off all curiosity and speculation from the outside world.
At the same time, Fang Zedong Pictures, the producer of Flower, takes a completely different attitude. They told reporters that after hearing the news yesterday, they immediately joined hands with Universal Music to urgently contact Zhao Chuan and his copyright team, hoping to solve this sudden misunderstanding. They said that the two sides have agreed to further show the record of cooperation today, putting an end to the storm.
But will things really go so well? What kind of story is hidden behind Zhao Chuan's silence? Is it for the protection of copyright, or for the protection of some unknown inside story? And does the positive response of Zedong Pictures mean that they occupy a favorable position in this dispute?
For a time, there were different opinions, and all kinds of guesses and interpretations went viral on the Internet. Some people support Zhao Chuan's approach, thinking that he is protecting his own rights and interests, while others are on the side of Zedong Pictures, thinking that they are actively solving the problem. But in any case, the story of "Music and Film" has attracted wide attention.
Looking back on Zhao Chuan's music career, it is not difficult to find his dedication and love for music. Every one of his songs seems to be the crystallization of his feelings and thoughts on life. As a film and television work, "Flowers" also carries the expectations and dreams of countless people. When the two collide, we can't help but ask: who moved whose cheese?
Of course, we cannot ignore the deeper problems that may exist behind this dispute. In the complex Vanity Fair of the entertainment industry, copyright, interests and relationships are often intertwined to form knots that are difficult to unravel. And this time the entanglement between Zhao Zhuan and the "Flower" is perhaps just the tip of the iceberg.
But in any case, we all hope that the two sides can resolve this dispute as soon as possible, so that music and film and television can return to their most essential beauty. After all, for those of us who love music and film and television, what we would like to see is that artists use their talent and enthusiasm to bring us more excellent works rather than get caught up in endless disputes.
The Golden Song of "Flowers" echoes and the Secrets of copyright disputes are revealed: a Music scene across the Times
Among the stars in the entertainment industry, there are always some lights that are particularly dazzling, leading us through time and space to relive those golden years. "Flowers" since its debut on the screen, like a bright star, led the audience to embark on a journey of nostalgia for the 1990s. Among them, the 57 classic songs magically bring people back to that era, and each song seems to open a box of memory.
From the dream-filled "my Future is not a Dream", to the passionate "Fire in Winter", to the rhythmic "forget Samba", these golden songs reverberate in "Flowers" one by one, like the secret words of time. Whisper in the ear. They not only evoke the audience's nostalgia for that era, but also show the ingenuity and deep love of music directed by Wong Kar-wai.
However, behind this wonderful music, there is a little-known copyright dispute. Some people say that Wong Kar-wai did not hesitate to spend tens of millions of dollars on music rights for these 30 episodes, including "Love to win", "A Dream of New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies", "looking back" and "what you want in Life" is a brand new cover, showing the director's ultimate pursuit of music.
But you know what? In these golden songs, except for a few cover songs, the rest of the old songs use the original recording rights. This means that Fang Zedong Pictures has to pay not only the copyright fee to the creator of the work, but also an extra fee to the original singer. This kind of copyright handling is not common in the music industry, and it shows that Wong Kar-wai cherishes and respects these golden songs.
Of course, such a decision has also brought some economic pressure to Zedong Pictures. But as a person familiar with the matter said: "for Wong Kar-wai, music is an indispensable soul in his works." He would rather spend more money and energy to make sure that the audience can hear the most authentic music. " This dedication and pursuit of art makes people respect Wong Kar-wai.
Today, "Flowers" has come to an end, but those classic golden songs still reverberate in people's hearts. They not only witnessed the glory of an era, but also witnessed Wong Kar-wai's deep love and unremitting pursuit of music. And this cross-era music situation, will also become an eternal story in the entertainment industry.
However, behind this musical feast, are there more hidden stories? How did Wong Kar-wai overcome many difficulties to present these golden songs perfectly in front of the audience? Let's wait and see, and look forward to more wonderful revelations behind the scenes.
Doubts about the music copyright of "Flowers": Zhao Chuan makes a voice, Zedong Pictures is in an awkward position.
According to the copyright law, if Zhao Chuan's song is produced and distributed by Rolling Stones, and Fanhua wants to use the original song sung by Zhao Chuan, it must apply for recording rights from Rolling Stones. But it doesn't seem that simple. It is reported that the song was actually funded by Zhao Chuan, and Rolling Stone is only responsible for distribution. If this is the case, then the copyright of the recording belongs to Zhao Chuan himself. If Flower wants to use this song, it must obtain authorization from Zhao Chuan.
This copyright storm can not help but remind people of Huang An's "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream." At that time,"Flowers" used this song, and found Zheng Kai to sing again. Because the recording copyright of the song belongs to Shanghua Records, and the copyright of the song belongs to Huang An,"Fanhua" only needs to obtain the right to use the song from Huang An's copyright agency company. In comparison, Zhao Chuan's situation seemed much more complicated.
Judging from Zhao Chuan's tone, he seems to be very dissatisfied with the behavior of the crew of Flowers. This also makes people speculate that Zhao Chuan may have funded the production of the song, while Rolling Stone is only responsible for the distribution. If this is the case, then the crew of "Flowers" does have the problem of infringement.
However, there is also news that Zedong Pictures has actually purchased the copyright of "I am a Little Bird" from Li Zongsheng. But why did something go wrong with Zhao Chuan? What was the hidden meaning behind this? We don't know.
But then again, Wong Ka Wai even Jacky Cheung's "Stealing Heart" copyright can buy down, I believe he will not deliberately miss to buy this song. So, where is the problem? Is it a miscommunication? Or is the copyright chain broken? All this remains to be revealed.
Generally speaking, the doubt about the copyright of "Flower" music has aroused widespread concern. It is hoped that both sides can solve this problem as soon as possible and give the audience a satisfactory answer. At the same time, it also reminds the majority of film and television producers that when using other people's works, they must respect copyright and avoid unnecessary disputes.
Next, we will wait and see the final result of this copyright cloud. Will Zhao Chuan take further action? How will the crew of "Flowers" respond? Let's continue to pay attention to the follow-up development of the incident.
