When I Have Money

When Yang Kun's friends heard that S.M uploaded the video they worked so hard to shoot, they were quite angry in their hearts. Uploading without the permission of Yang Kun's studio, what's the difference between this and a bandit?

You must know that Yang Kun, a good boss, will add the names of the creators in the videos he shoots, that is, they have the right to sign all published works.

Although these 'signature rights' are not of much use to those who watch the video, these video signature rights will become an important experience for them when they look for a job next time.

This is equivalent to their report card in the industry. Although the video is jointly produced by everyone, it can also be used as reference data for the next employer.

So they were all so excited during the voice call, because their hard work was stolen.

Of course, this 'stealing' is because Yang Kun didn't fully explain the process of the problem, which made them feel that this matter was an act of embezzlement.

But Yang Kun listened to Lin Yuner's detailed narration, and felt that their manager didn't seem to be considered embezzlement, right? Because they are responsible for all the artists of the brokerage company, they have the right to manage all the portrait rights of the artists.

Moreover, when Lin Yuner went to shoot, she just told her agent that the video cannot be released outside, but he handed over the video to the company. Is this considered outside transmission?

From the perspective of the nature of the agent's work, is he really a rumor? After all, this was his responsibility, so after the incident, Lin Yun'er had no way to blame her manager, but she herself took responsibility for this mistake.

If she hadn't given the video to the agent and hadn't explained it clearly, then it wouldn't have happened.

Listening to everyone's complaints in the voice, Yang Kun said: "Now is not the time to complain, what should we do now?"

Li Wei said: "Apologize, yes, at least let them publish an official apology!"

Wu You said: "If we just publish an apology, it's useless, and an apology can't make up for our losses. And are there fewer apologies issued by the agency?"

Li Wei asked again: "Then what should we do now? Is it the only result of our labor being infringed by them?"

Wang Yu said: "Why do I feel that what you said has no substantive suggestions? I think the only way now is to go to South Korea to apply for arbitration compensation from the court."

Li Wei echoed, "Yes, go to Seoul to apply for arbitration."

Zhou Jing smiled and said: "Hehe, let's go to Seoul to apply for arbitration? To fight a multinational lawsuit? Do you know how much time, energy, and financial resources such a lawsuit takes? This is why we plagiarize so many Korean variety shows in China. , The reason why they didn’t come to report on us. Multinational lawsuits are as complicated as you imagine. If you don’t believe me, you can ask a lawyer.”

Wu You said: "Well, what Zhou Jing said is correct, transnational lawsuits are indeed very troublesome. Not to mention time-consuming and energy-consuming, maybe the court will have a certain degree of partiality! And S.M is very powerful in South Korea, And we... I don't think it's necessary to go to arbitration."

Li Wei said a little angrily: "Then what should we do? Let's forget it?"

Wang Yu followed Li Wei's words and said: "Yes, if it's just like this, I'm really not reconciled. Isn't this an obvious bully?"

Yang Kun listened to what they said, but in the end, like himself, they didn't have a countermeasure. The only way to come up with a useful solution is to take the legal route?

So Yang Kun said: "Before, Lin Yuner called me to admit her mistakes and apologized to us. Although S.M has deleted the video, the video has 700,000 views on Youtube. Now they The company is not trying to shirk its responsibility, but to buy the copyright of our video."

Listening to Yang Kun's completion of the complete words at this time, they said in the voice call with some doubts: "Uh, S.M wants to buy our video copyright?"

Yang Kun said: "Sure, entertainment companies, and they are overseas, must attach great importance to copyright. So now that the incident has happened, their suggestion is to buy our copyright and reduce our losses."

Being able to reduce losses seems to be the best way so far. Otherwise, you will go to court to sue. What is the purpose of being suable? Not to ask for a compensation and a reasonable apology.

Wu You said: "Well, that's it. Speaking of which, their suggestion is still responsible."

Li Wei couldn't help complaining: "This is not responsible, it is a remedy!"

Zhou Jing said: "At least others have thought of a remedy, and they didn't say that they forcibly took our video."

Wang Yu said: "Whether it is responsibility or remediation. Do we have a better choice now? It seems that there is no one?"

Yang Kun followed Wang Yu's words and said: "There is indeed no better choice. Going through legal procedures and the difficulty of transnational lawsuits are too long for us. To be honest, if Lee Soon Kyu is not on our side On the other hand, we may not win this lawsuit. After all, we did not sign a formal contract with Lee Soon Kyu back then."

Wu You asked: "Brother Kun, what do you mean? Do you accept their acquisition?"

Yang Kun responded: "I just don't know what to do, so I asked you to discuss it together. This is not the first time I have encountered a leaked video. At that time, I heard Lin Yuner tell me about it, and I was completely dumbfounded. Don't know how to handle it at all."

Li Wei continued Yang Kun's words: "Actually, I don't know what to do."

"I don't know either."

"This is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

Everyone in the voice chat said they didn't know how to deal with this problem.

At this time, Yang Kun showed the boldness of the boss: "Well, can you see if this works. I think the video has been leaked, and it has a hit rate of 700,000 in South Korea. This is equivalent to a complete leak. I believe using It won't be long before Huaxia's porters will also carry this video."

Yang Kun continued: "So... tonight, we worked overtime to make the video. All of our post-production people marked it in Korean, and then stamped our channel's watermark LOGO. After the production, we sent the video to S.M. We uploaded it again with them, and of course sold the copyright to them!"

When Yang Kun said the word 'overtime', the phone became silent instantly.

Then Li Wei said: "Work overtime, there is no way. If we don't work overtime and add our post-production name to it, our video might be shot by someone else."

Li Wei's words made Wang Yu take over: "Okay, let's get out tonight."

Yang Kun said at this time: "You can work overtime at home, I'm still in the office right now. Brother Wei, tell me your computer password, and I'll pass this file on to you and Wang Yu!"

"Okay, okay. The password is" Li Wei told Yang Kun the password of his computer. Because of Lee Soon Kyu's video, he has been in charge of it personally. So the original draft is stored in his computer.

Yang Kun got out of the car again, returned to the company and transmitted the video to the group. He said: "Today, you two will have to work hard tonight. You two will communicate to see how to divide the work. I will contact Seoul now!"

After finishing the group chat, Yang Kun called Lin Yuner again: "Yuner xi."

Lin Yuner said: "Can you help me express my apology to everyone? I am really sorry to everyone!"

Yang Kun responded: "Well, I told everyone about your apology, and we all understand in the end."

"Well, what's the answer to the discussion on your side?"

Yang Kun said: "We have reached a consensus and agreed to your company's copyright acquisition. However, the video cannot be uploaded by your company. We will resend the video we made to you tomorrow, because we will Add the name of our post-production staff to the video. Hope you can understand."

Yang Kun's request is reasonable. What they need is to add the names of the behind-the-scenes personnel at the end of the video, which is a matter of course.

This is like a music creator, no matter which artist the song is sung by, but the name of the song creator will appear at the beginning.

Lin Yuner replied: "Understood, I will tell the company here. I am really sorry about this matter, because of my negligence..."

Faced with Lin Yuner's constant apology, Yang Kun could only pretend to say a lot: "It's okay, after all, none of you thought that things would turn out like this."

However, after this lesson, Yang Kun must have learned a lesson. In the future, the videos he shoots will never be shown to others before they are edited.

After hanging up the phone with Lin Yuner, Yang Kun let out a sigh of relief. This was the first time he experienced the problem of 'video leak'. At least this time, he learned how to prevent it from happening again next time.

Although the final result is not very perfect, but...Yang Kun feels that he can only do this.

Perhaps S.M's acquisition of the filming copyright for this time is the best solution. Because he doesn't have the capital to go to court with S.M! And the purpose of the lawsuit is just for an apology.

But now, I apologize, Lin Yuner has already said it many times, so he can only accept this result.

Lifting his watch, Yang Kun looked at the time and it was already half past eight at night, and he hadn't eaten yet.

After leaving the company, Yang Kun drove the car towards the barbecue restaurant. Perhaps the spiciness of this night is more in line with the mood at this time. Yang Kun knows very well that even if S.M agrees to buy the copyright, it is impossible for their company to offer a high price. At best, Yang Kun's filming cost would not be lost!
