Legal analysis: Writers, directors, photographers, lyricists, composers and other writers in film works enjoy the right of signature and remuneration according to law, and have the right to use their own works alone. You can negotiate the remuneration with the producer, you can pay it in one lump sum, or you can draw it in proportion from the film release and screening. If there is no agreement in the contract that other ways of using the lyrics created for the film and television works will also be transferred to the producers of the film and television works, and if these lyrics are used alone, they will not damage the overall artistic effect and economic benefits of the film and television works, the copyright owner of the lyrics can exercise the copyright alone and also have the right to license others to use them in other ways.
