Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 204 How dare she actually cancel the account?
It didn't take long for them to struggle with their thoughts.

As Lao Chen said, Chen Daoyuan needs this opportunity and this platform right now.

Her family couldn't wait, her mother couldn't wait, and she had wasted too much time and couldn't wait any longer.

What's more, this Mr. Chen gave her an irresistible reason: as long as she signed with Deep Space, she would be able to enjoy Deep Space's legal services. The company's legal department would handle all her litigation disputes with her former employer free of charge, and would even help her pay the penalty for breach of contract if the situation was not ideal!

This made Chen Daoyuan feel extremely flattered, and he thanked Old Chen sincerely more than once.

The little girl's reaction made Old Chen feel sorry for her, and he couldn't help but sigh. This little girl's family has really never had a good life. It's too tragic.

You need to understand that what he's doing now is called poaching, even if it's a free agent, it's still poaching, you're the one actively going to them.

Otherwise, with so many companies, why would anyone choose you?
Therefore, according to the rules in the industry, personally going to the person's door to poach them and paying the breach of contract penalty is a basic requirement.

In other words, Chen Daoyuan is not the only one; all legitimate entertainment companies have this unwritten rule.

Such a simple thing was treated as a favor by the young girl, which shows how despicable her former employer was to exploit a child like this.

Soon, Old Chen handed over the truck and Lalamove, and helped Chen Daoyuan move all her things away, so that the girl could leave this place that only brought her pain and move directly into Deep Space Entertainment.

When Chen Daoyuan entered the Deep Space Entertainment building and followed her into the company, she saw the world's top 100 awards trophy and the top ten golden song awards displayed in the most conspicuous place in the magnificent company lobby. When she was then led to the office and saw Xia Shen in person, she still felt a little dazed.

It really is Xia Shen! This time I actually saw him!
"Hello? Chen Daoyuan?" Xia Shen asked tentatively.

"Yes!! It's me!!" Chen Daoyuan immediately nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

"Old Chen has already told me about your situation, so I'm here to personally discuss the contract with you," Xia Shen said gently, closing the file on Chen Daoyuan in his hand.

It has to be said that this little girl's experience was really quite tragic.

He fits the image of a true, down-to-earth musician who has no connections or connections and has struggled to make it in this industry.

She is exactly the same as Xia Shen when she first debuted.

Xia Shen was luckier than her in that she had several good roommates who introduced her to a good career path, and she had helpful people around her.

Chen Daoyuan was much less lucky; she joined a very bad company.

However, if you seriously analyze Chen Daoyuan's previous works and listen carefully, you can actually draw a conclusion: this girl's professional skills and level are really good, and she is a promising talent.

And the most crucial point is that, coincidentally, the former agency of this girl, whose stage name is 'Daodao', has recently been involved in a dispute with their company regarding the infringement of their boss, Wangzai Erqiao's, rights.

Originally, regarding the infringement issue of Want Want Second Bridge, as long as the other party could carry out the authorization work normally, they wouldn't need to buy the copyright; they could simply go through the platform's revenue-sharing authorization process.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, Xia Shen believed that he had already shown enough leniency and humanity.
He would never pursue a simple cover song. After all, he believes that the industry is so big that you can't expect others to have their cake and eat it too. There are many people in this industry who have it tough, and a cover song doesn't have any negative impact. In fact, it can even help spread your work.

He didn't even bother to investigate whether it was used for commercial purposes or even commercial performances on a small scale.

However, Wangzai Erqiao went a bit too far, directly putting his copyrighted songs into his personal concert setlist without authorization.

While selling tickets at the box office, they also set ticket prices similar to those of many celebrities, such as 888, 2888, and even SVIP 38888.

This goes beyond the word "excessive."

Even though he warned the other party that Deep Space would pursue the matter, Xia Shen had actually left some room for maneuver. As long as the other party could deeply realize their mistake, stop, and repent, he would act as if nothing had happened. In other words, he allowed Wangzai Erqiao to get on the train first and pay the fare later.

But to his utter surprise, the other party completely ignored him.

Even when Deep Space's legal team contacted the other party, their attitude was still that they could grant authorization, but they would only accept two original singers. In other words, Wangzai Erqiao also wanted to be the original singer of the songs he wrote for Zhou Yumeng!
Otherwise, forget it!
This completely baffled Xia Shen.

WTF?

Are there really people who are so ignorant about the law?
Aren't they afraid of Deep Space's legal team?

So this is the current trajectory of the copyright infringement dispute between Deep Space and Want Want Second Bridge; they are already preparing to initiate legal proceedings.

Since reasoning doesn't work, we'll have to go to court. Let's discuss our thoughts and opinions using the law.

Then, at this time, Old Chen brought Chen Daoyuan back.

That's perfect, the company always needs a lot of high-quality talent, so we can sign them.

The contract Xia Shen offered was the same as that of other artists; everyone was treated equally.

The copyright of songs you write yourself belongs to you, but the copyright of songs given to you by the company belongs to the company.

No stage name restrictions, nothing is restricted.

Divide it into 50%!

There's also a signing fee!
To Chen Daoyuan, this contract was practically like doing charity work, and he remained in a daze until he signed it.

“Now that you’ve signed the contract, the company will immediately develop the most suitable plan for you,” Xia Shen said. “You should contact your agent next, and soon an operations manager will come to you.”

"Thank you, Teacher Xia Shen!" Chen Daoyuan was almost moved to tears, and repeatedly assured that he would do his best to complete any work assigned by the company.

On the other hand, when Qiao Manning and her daughter discovered that 'Daodao's' account had been deleted, they were furious.

"She actually cancelled it! She actually dared to cancel it!" The old woman was so angry her nose almost twisted out of shape.

Of course it hurts! This is an account with hundreds of thousands of followers!

In their view, since the account was created when the director was still with the company, it naturally belongs to the company.

Now that the person has breached the contract and left, the account will definitely be reclaimed.

Their previous threats and inducements were all aimed at getting the account unbound from the real name and released to the company.

However, this wretched thing is completely unyielding and keeps demanding money from them, threatening not to pay them back otherwise.

Isn't this going against the natural order?!
However, because they held a lot of information about the guide, including the penalty clause for breach of contract, she never dared to do so.

It's actually been deregistered now?
Is she really not afraid of the penalty for breach of contract?

Isn't she afraid that her old, undead mother will die in a hospital bed?
