Chapter 172: Invitation

After thinking for a moment, the bearded man asked Lin Weidong, "Dude, can I have a question?"

Lin Weidong nodded: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask." ”

The bearded man then asked, "Dude, are you going to be a professional singer? or are you just playing around on a whim?"

Lin Weidong fell into deep thought, which is also a question he has been struggling with.

Although it is indeed desirable to become a high-profile singer, Lin Weidong considers that his singing level is average, and he naturally likes to live a free and unrestrained life.

Therefore, the glamorous life that may be exposed to the spotlight for a long time will make him feel depressed and troubled, and maybe it will be more suitable for him to be behind the scenes.

Seeing that Lin Weidong didn't speak, the bearded man continued: "Dude, if you are not interested in being a singer, and writing songs is just for fun, I don't think you need to waste this unjust money." ”

"Otherwise, I'll give you 50,000 yuan, and you sell me the ownership of this song. ”

Lin Weidong asked puzzledly, "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

The bearded man didn't beat around the bush either, and said calmly: "It means that I will give you 50,000 yuan, and you will sell me the authorship of this song." ”

Lin Weidong suddenly said: "Do you want to become the songwriter of this song?"

The bearded man nodded and said, "That's right, buddy, you said that you are a good rich kid, why bother to make such a false name? You sell me the right of authorship, and I will give you 50,000! Fifty thousand, that's a lot! Many works written by top musicians can't sell for such a high price!"

Regarding the bearded man's words, Lin Weidong was skeptical.

Although it is 2000, Lin Weidong has more or less heard that top musicians like Lin Xi and Li Zongsheng can sell for more than 100,000 yuan if they only write a word without writing a song.

Of course, Lin Weidong's current reputation in the Chinese music scene still belongs to Cha Wu, and there is definitely no way to compare with these bigwigs.

However, with only 50,000 yuan, it is not easy for Lin Weidong to sell the ownership of the song "Has Anyone Told You".

Lin Weidong said bluntly: "Boss, if you are willing to spend 50,000 yuan to buy my song and sing it yourself, I have no problem, if you want to sell it to others, I have no opinion." ”

"But I want you to understand that I wrote this song, and since I wrote it, it must be signed with my name, and I am not a gunslinger who writes songs for others. ”

In fact, the bearded man's idea is also very simple, that is, he wants to spend 50,000 yuan to buy the ownership of "Has Anyone Told You" and become the songwriter of this song.

If the song "Has Anyone Told You" is really popular one day, the bearded man will not only make money, but also achieve his own fame, and he will be fame and fortune in the future.

However, Lin Weidong is not stupid, tens of thousands of yuan is really not a big deal for him, and his current idea is to make himself famous in the Chinese music scene by releasing songs such as "Has Anyone Told You".

If Lin Weidong sold the ownership of this song to the bearded man, then who would know that this song was written by him Lin Weidong?

Because the bearded man clearly wanted to buy songs, he was no longer interested in earning the cost of recording, and Lin Weidong, who was engaged in it, was not interested in recording songs, so he paid some studio fees and left the studio with Wang Taoxin.

Wang Taoxin felt puzzled and deeply sorry for Lin Weidong's decision, so she said to Lin Weidong: "Weidong, a song costs 50,000 yuan, why don't you sell it to him? It's a pity!"

Lin Weidong smiled and said disapprehantly: "Taoxin, I told you that you don't understand, there are some things, it's not a matter of money." ”

Wang Taoxin muttered: "If it's not a problem with money, then what's the problem?"

Lin Weidong said seriously: "It's faith, it's the soul, you should know very well, the song "Did You Tell You" was written by me with my soul and my own emotions, you say, can I sell my soul?"

Although Lin Weidong said so, he didn't think so in his heart, in fact, it was not a matter of money, but a question of more money.

If the bearded man paid enough money, then Lin Weidong was still willing to sell it, but unfortunately he couldn't afford such a price.

And for a poor and white person like Wang Taoxin, money is the most important thing, he really couldn't understand Lin Weidong's thoughts, thought about it, and persuaded: "But Weidong, that's 50,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan in our Mei'an, you can buy a new house with two bedrooms and one living room." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and lit a cigarette, handed another cigarette to Wang Taoxin, and said, "It's okay Taoxin, let's not worry, if he really wants to buy it, he will come to me again." ”

Wang Taoxin asked again: "Then are you willing to sell the authorship to him?"

"If you don't sell it, you will sell it if you are a fool!"

In the afternoon of the same day.

The bearded man called Lin Weidong and asked him to come out to meet.

Unlike in the morning, the bearded man also brought a contract this time and made an appointment with Lin Weidong in a café.

After seeing Lin Weidong sit down, the bearded man said with a smile: "Buddy, we met again, I'm really embarrassed in the morning, I neglected you, I'll introduce myself first, my name is Daniel Zhang." ”

Lin Weidong also smiled and said, "Hello Brother Yong, my name is Lin Weidong." ”

After a few words of greeting, Daniel Zhang did not say much nonsense, and directly confessed to Lin Weidong that he still wanted to buy the song "Has Anyone Told You" created by Lin Weidong.

As long as Daniel Zhang's price is right. Lin Weidong is not willing to sell, the key is the signature of the lyrics and songs.

After some communication, Lin Weidong always insisted on his attitude, and Daniel Zhang was also dead, he knew that Lin Weidong was not bad for money, and he would not give others a sought-after hand for tens of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, Daniel Zhang no longer wants to buy the authorship rights of the song "Has Anyone Told You", but plans to spend 30,000 yuan to buy the right to use this song.

"Brother Yong, 30,000 yuan is too little, at least 40,000, but, for the sake of what you sincerely want to buy, I can give you a nine-percent discount, a fixed price, thirty-six thousand. ”

"In the future, if I create other good works, I will also ask you to cooperate. ”

Daniel Zhang pondered for a while, it doesn't matter if you cooperate or not in the future, after all, writing a good song is more difficult than meeting a virgin, and you can't write it if you want to.

However, in business, Daniel Zhang still hopes to buy the copyright of the song "Has Anyone Told You" at the lowest price, so he asked Lin Weidong: "Brother, can it be cheaper? How about 32,000? Brother Yong will tell you a word from the heart, people like us who play music actually use the money they earn to buy musical instruments and equipment......

Lin Weidong spat out his cigarette and said unmoved: "One price, thirty-six thousand." ”

Daniel Zhang sighed and said with an embarrassed face: "Brother, you are making this offer...... It's too overbearing...... Thirty-three, thirty-three is not okay?"

Lin Weidong said angrily: "Brother Yong, what are you struggling with? It's just a few thousand yuan, what is there to be entangled, I don't believe you can't take it out, if you don't even want to buy 30,000, I think, let's not waste time here." ”

After saying that, Lin Weidong got up from his chair and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Daniel Zhang hurriedly pressed Lin Weidong back to the chair, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said: "Okay buddy, thirty six thousand is thirty six, I'll go out, bet with you!"

In the end, Lin Weidong sold the copyright of the song "Did You Tell You" to the bearded man Daniel Zhang for 36,000.

At night.

Lin Weidong bought two bottles of red wine, and asked Wang Taoxin to go out to the restaurant outside to pack a few appetizers and come back to celebrate the successful sale of the song "Has Anyone Told You".

Knowing that Lin Weidong made money selling songs, Wang Taoxin was very excited and envious, and after drinking a few glasses of red wine, she plucked up her courage and said to Lin Weidong: "Weidong, can you teach me to write songs?"

Hearing Wang Taoxin's words, Lin Weidong didn't say a word, went back to the room, and took out the guitar to him: "Taoxin, let me tell you this, I can teach you to learn the guitar, but you don't need to teach you to write songs, and you can't teach them." ”

"Do you understand? Writing a song is the same as writing a poem, what is needed is not learning, but personal inspiration and talent, if you don't have inspiration, no talent, no matter how much I teach, you can't write a good song. ”

"For example, the boss we met today, he is still a serious music producer, how slippery he is in music? He can play any J8 instrument, not much better than me? But what's the use? Isn't he just like his grandson, begging me to sell him the song?"

Wang Taoxin pondered for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and she no longer wanted to learn art from Lin Weidong.

At this moment, Lin Weidong's mobile phone rang.

Lin Weidong picked up the mobile phone on the table and saw that it was a Beijing number, thinking it was a harassing call, so he hung up without thinking about it.

Wang Taoxin asked curiously, "Who?"

Lin Weidong raised his wine glass, touched it with Wang Taoxin, and said casually: "I don't know, it should be a harassing call." ”

After a while, the phone rang again.

Lin Weidong hesitated, but still pressed the answer button, and soon, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, are you Mr. Night Lonely?"

Listening to the sweet and gentle female voice on the other end of the phone, Lin Weidong felt very puzzled, he really couldn't imagine that he would have any girlfriend in Beijing, because he had never even been to Beijing in his life.

"I'm Night Lonely City, are you?" Lin Weidong asked curiously with his mobile phone.

"Hello Mr. Night, I'm Gao Yuanyuan, I heard from our producer, you recommended me to play the play "Days with the Flight Attendant", right?"

Lin Weidong didn't expect that it was Gao Yuanyuan calling, he was very surprised and surprised, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and said, "Ah, yes, it was me and Sister Fang who recommended you to star, what's wrong?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "No, I want to say thank you in person, I don't know if you are in Shanghai?"
