Money Can't Buy It, I'm Willing [Entertainment Circle]

Through Qin Ji's unprecedented unremitting efforts, the exposure of the new album has been maintained at a very high level, and the sales volume is even more astonishing. It sold 36 copies in the first week, and finally has the momentum that a king should have.

Even You Xiaoman was left behind in this sales volume. Her sales volume of 30 copies in the first week was considered normal, but Qin Ji's publicity was too strong.

You Xiaoman also took the patience to fight back seriously, and even started her long-prepared concert tour plan in advance. Of course, if ordinary singers don't honestly make orders during the new album promotion period, but go to the concert instead, the sales will be absolute. It will be a mess, but You Xiaoman is different. She has a high air, and there are only a few shows in China that she can catch her eyes on. Going on tour now has increased her exposure.

Qin Ji was bored while rushing to the market, so he went to the China official website of the World Recording Association and looked at the latest data released by them. The World Recording Association is an authority that specializes in statistics of album sales. The sales statistics of the week and the ranking of the total sales volume of the album this year will be released.

This week, Qin Ji's new album was undoubtedly No. [-], and even broke into the top [-] in the total sales list, but these are not important, the important thing is that he found a magical name in front of this list.

""Ordinary Life Original Soundtrack"?" Qin Ji frowned and exclaimed in surprise, "When did I release the original soundtrack? Why didn't I know?"

The copyright of the musical "Ordinary Life" is all in his own hands, why doesn't he remember that he sent the original soundtrack... Could it be that he forgot?

Shi Cheng also came over to take a look, and shook his head blankly, "I don't know, I don't have any impression either!"

Qin Ji rolled his eyes at him, and scolded with a smile: "Of course you don't have any memory. You were busy chasing Chen Hui at that time, so you still remember me?"

After finishing talking, Qin Ji didn't make any sense anymore. I hoped that he might as well search the Internet. He entered the keywords of "Ordinary Life Original Soundtrack" in the search engine, and each piece of information was listed. Qin Ji looked carefully, and suddenly I understand what's going on.

"Ordinary Life Original Soundtrack" was released in the name of CCTV's "Art Theater" program, and it is estimated that this original soundtrack is the original soundtrack when they recorded the program.

But they released this soundtrack without even asking themselves?I went to your place to perform on the show, but that doesn't mean I give you the copyright!

Qin Ji was helpless. CCTV could make such a big mistake. He was also drunk, so he put down his phone and poked Shi Cheng who was driving, "I'll contact the program team of "Art Theater" later to see what happened. How did you solve it, do you still have Director Zhao's phone number?"

"Did they send the original soundtrack?" Shi Cheng turned his head and asked, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll call and settle this matter when you're on the show!"

When Qin Ji got off the show, Shi Cheng was still frowning and kept pushing the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. When he saw Qin Ji coming, he immediately greeted him and said, "The other side said they want you to go over and discuss it in detail. After watching your show, I don’t have a schedule, so I’ll make an appointment with them an hour later.”

Qin Ji nodded his head in agreement, and while walking out, he asked like Shi Cheng, "What's the matter? What's the situation over there?"

"That's not true. I called Director Zhao, and he said that this matter was not decided by him, but by Director Li." It's probably not an accident!"

"Director Li? That fat man who made things difficult for us last time?" Qin Ji raised his eyebrows, and then remembered that when he went to record "Art Theater" last time, Shi Cheng was busy going to the next performance venue, so he didn't follow them there. , so he had never seen Director Li before, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go and see what's going on first!"

The two rushed to the CCTV building. Director Zhao, who had been notified in advance, was waiting below. Qin Ji walked over quickly and asked with a smile, "Director Zhao, what's going on? You forgot when you released the original soundtrack. asked me?"

Old Zhao smiled wryly, and while leading Qin Ji inside, he explained: "Director Li decided this matter, and I have no right to take care of it. I'll take you to Director Li and let him talk to you."

Qin Ji nodded and did not speak. A group of people took the elevator and soon arrived at the door of the director's office. Lao Zhao respectfully knocked on the door three times, and a voice slowly came from inside: "Please come in!"

Old Zhao opened the door softly, "Director Li, Qin Ji is here, and I want to talk to you about "Ordinary Life Original Soundtrack"!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhao turned his head and whispered to Qin Ji and the others: "Go in and see the director, I won't go in!"

Qin Ji didn't care, and strode into the office. There was still a lot of space inside. There was a lush potted plant at the door, and then a row of fabric sofas. There was a teapot and several teacups on the coffee table, and a A few pieces of calligraphy and ink paintings seemed quite atmospheric. There was a computer on the mahogany desk next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Director Li buried his head in it intently.

As if he was playing a game, Director Li's chubby face was sweating nervously, there was a clattering sound of typing on the keyboard and clicking of the mouse, and after a while he raised his head and looked at Qin Ji: "Sit!"

Qin Ji was so angry that he didn't speak. After letting us hang out for so long, he still 'sit! '?Where to sit?Where are the chairs here? !

After taking a deep breath, Qin Ji was able to speak calmly: "No, let's make a quick decision. I'm here today to talk about "Ordinary Life Original Soundtrack". May I ask when this original soundtrack was released?" Did you forget to notify me and ask for my opinion?"

Director Li crossed his hands on his swollen belly, and leaned back easily, "No need, don't you see that the sales volume is pretty good!"

"Why is it unnecessary? I am the original author and told me that it is unnecessary." Qin Ji frowned in displeasure, what the hell are you talking about!

"Of course it's not necessary. We have channels and publicity, so we don't need your cooperation." Director Li smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, when the time comes, the profit will be settled in the station, and [-]% will be given to you. Let me know again!"

"[-]%?!", Qin Ji was about to be laughed out of anger, what's the situation with this kind of charity tone, you are selling my things, but you look like I took advantage of it?

"Young man, don't be greedy!" Director Li's face turned cold for a moment, and he warned: "All the production costs of this soundtrack are paid by the station, including recording, packaging and promotion, etc., and you will share a lot. It's all for nothing!"

"Hehe, thank you so much!" Qin Ji sneered, "However, using my work for profit without my authorization violates my copyright, and I hope you can stop this infringement. !"

"We think highly of you by using your work, don't make trouble here!" Director Li sat up straight and snapped, "Not only did you get a lot of money for nothing, but you also improved your reputation through CCTV. You got There are enough of them!"

"I'm really sorry, I'm really not short of money, nor short of fame!" Qin Ji choked. At first he thought that there was a mistake on CCTV's side, so it's not a big deal for him to come here to talk about the authorization. I sold CCTV for a face, so we can meet each other in the future.

Now I see that they actually think this way, hehe, he really didn't think of the soundtrack of "Ordinary Life", so it needs your busy work?

Director Li was also very angry, he is also a department-level cadre after all, how could anyone dare to talk to him like that!

"That's the way it is. Money is what you want, and we'll save it if you don't!"

Qin Ji glanced sideways at the righteous Director Li, and said flatly: "Please solve this matter as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, we'll see you in court!"

"Also, can Director Li open his eyes when talking to others in the future?" After speaking, no matter how Director Li jumped up and scolded, Qin Ji turned and left.

He really wanted to stay in this place for a minute. Looking at that fat face, why did he feel so itchy and wanted to slap it on it?

"Qin Ji, are we really suing?" Shi Cheng followed closely behind and asked in a low voice, Qin Ji glanced at him and said, "Sue, of course!"

"But..." Shi Cheng was still a little hesitant, Qin Ji gave him a weird look, "Obviously we are right, what are you afraid of?"

Shi Cheng smiled wryly, we are right, but sometimes we should suffer a bit, that is CCTV!

Qin Ji didn't care so much, he hired a lawyer to collect information to prepare, and took CCTV to court within a few days.

The director of CCTV was taken aback when he received the summons from the court. After asking for a long time, he found out that it was Li Yuan, the director of Xiqu Channel, who released the original soundtracks of their new program "Art Theater" some time ago. As a result, one of them did not buy the copyright, which caused them to sue in court.

In fact, not only Qin Ji's "Ordinary Life" did not buy the copyright, but also other programs. Otherwise, Li Yuan wouldn't be so confident and take it for granted. It's a pity that he met Qin Ji who was so stunned.

The head of the station called Li Yuan over and gave him a hard reprimand. Under Li Yuan's extravagant explanation, the deduction of this year's bonus was regarded as punishment, but the lawsuit still had to be fought, and it must be fought well. What's the face of their station after losing the lawsuit!

However, it would be really strange if the lawsuit, which obviously had no reason at all, could be won. Qin Ji won the case easily.

After paying the money and apologizing, CCTV had such a big scandal, and this time Qin Ji was severely hated, and the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala that was supposed to be sent to Qin Ji was also withheld.
