Chapter 80: Meet Again
"What? has it been sold? When did it happen?" An Minzhi was already surprised, learning that it was actually his phone call ten minutes late yesterday, but Peng Xiangming went to drink tomorrow night, so he promised to others, and couldn't help but be more and more shocked, "Is it so fast?
"What you said, my song is very popular, isn't it normal for someone to buy it?"
"Who wants to buy it? Has the contract been signed? Is there any discussion?" she looked a little reluctant to give up, a little anxious, and she didn't even feel the dissatisfaction that Peng Xiangming had clearly expressed just now.
Peng Xiangming looked at her lightly, "Xu Jingwei." ”
"Oh...... He!" An Minzhi sighed after a moment.
Although he has never won any too bright box office, Xu Jingwei is still very well-known in the film and television circle, and is generally regarded as the most promising master among the young generation of directors in the future.
Otherwise, he would not have become an idol in the hearts of many directing students.
This person's camera movement, color, rendering, and even lines, stories, and characters are very set, and he has developed his own style since he first debuted, although his problem is that he is not popular enough and commercialized enough, so it has always been considered a poor box office, but in the eyes of professionals, the level is really high.
Although An Minzhi has mostly been mixed in the circle of TV dramas over the years, in recent years, she has almost become a complete film and television company executive, and only makes a drama in a year or two, but after all, she is also a professional insider, and it is impossible not to know about Xu Jingwei, a cutting-edge director who has emerged in the circle.
Peng Xiangming still looked at her calmly.
She finally came back to her senses, sneered, and reached out to touch Peng Xiangming's hand, "Oh, I'm ignoring you, okay, don't be angry, little tiger......"
Peng Xiangming had a straight face, expressionless, and didn't eat this set.
"Okay, okay, I know you're amazing, the songs you write are good, and the songs you sing are good! That's why I'm in a hurry! I want to buy my husband's songs and add some luster to my broken drama!"
Peng Xiangming sneered.
An Minzhi laughed more and more, like a little girl, coaxing him, "Oh, okay, don't be angry! I'm wrong, okay?
Peng Xiangming leaned over slightly, his eyes showing a fierce light, "Settle the ledger at night!"
An Minzhi glanced at him in a variety of ways, pretending to be delicate, "Okay!"
............
After a short while, he dispelled a little anxiety, but after laughing, An Minzhi still couldn't help but feel a little worried, "I've already reported to the boss, and the boss has approved it, I thought there must be no problem, how could I think it would be gone so soon...... Oops, that's hard!"
suddenly looked at Peng Xiangming, "Why don't you write me a song?"
Peng Xiangming smiled, "Buy Chinese cabbage?
"Give me the money!" An Minzhi thought for a while, "Hey, didn't you say that you wanted my soundtrack that day, and now I don't think it's a big problem, or you can help me write two more songs, plus the soundtrack, and I'll give them to you?"
"It's late! I'm not going to take the soundtrack now!"
"Really?" An Minzhi hesitated, "Let me tell you the truth, my investment in music in this drama is planned to be about two million!
Peng Xiangming smiled and looked at her squarely, "You want me to pick it up?"
"Hmm!" she nodded.
Peng Xiangming pretended to think, and after a while, he said: "That's it, for the sake of our relationship, I'll give you a discounted price, five million, and I'll take it." ”
An Minzhi was stunned, his face changed twice, his expression began to be a little unnatural, and he asked after a while: "This song...... How much do you earn?"
"I don't know how much I can earn, but my agent really doesn't recommend me to take on the soundtrack of the TV series anymore!" Peng Xiangming took a sip of water, "Of course, I'm still poor now, and the record company has to settle it once every six months." I will have to stay poor for many more months. ”
Just as the waiter came to serve the food, as soon as Peng Xiangming's words were finished, the topic was temporarily interrupted, and An Minzhi took the opportunity to lower his head, his expression slightly complicated.
When the waiter put down the dishes and left, Peng Xiangming looked at her and asked, "What are you doing, what kind of expression?"
An Minzhi raised his head and smiled reluctantly, "You will become popular in the future and become a big singer, there must be a lot of young and beautiful girls who like you......"
"I'm not popular, and a lot of girls like me!"
An Minzhi seemed to be laughed at by him, but he didn't refute, but sighed faintly.
Peng Xiangming looked at her with a smile and said, "But I still like you!"
An Minzhi raised his head, his eyes flickered, "Why? I'm almost forty years old, can I compare with other little girls? Those twenty-year-old little girls, all tender, pinch a stream of water, what can I compare!"
"You're more sassy than them!"
An Minzhi was stunned for a moment, snorted out laughing, under the table, couldn't help kicking over, and hurriedly looked around, "What are you talking nonsense here!
However, her face was still obviously sunny quickly, even after eating for a while, she looked up at Peng Xiangming from time to time, and there was a smile in her eyes.
"Forget it, I can't afford to invite you, go back and talk to the boss, and then think about others!"
............
The next day, Kong Quan ran around outside for nearly a day, and did not rush back until the evening to report the day's harvest to Peng Xiangming, and also brought back two contracts directly.
The first thing is that the matter of "Prison Bird" has been negotiated.
Friendship is friendship, price is price, it should be generous, and it should be calculated, but in general, because the relationship between Zhou Yujie and Peng Xiangming is quite harmonious, the contract is not difficult to negotiate.
Before going, Peng Xiangming set the tone: if you don't exceed the price of "Phoenix Flying", the other party will give as much as you want, don't make a counteroffer, if you exceed the price of "Phoenix Flying", don't want more, just maintain that price, this is part of friendship.
Even now, Peng Xiangming feels that Zhou Yujie is one of his most important connections in the music industry, and he can even be ranked with Mr. Huo Ming, who has been of great help to him.
And he's always been generous to himself.
Therefore, sell 500,000 songs and supervise 100,000, even if you become more popular in the future, you don't want any more!
Of course, I have all the friends here, and I have to talk about business in a different place.
For example, the proportion of the share can be talked about a little.
This is to set the tone for possible cooperation in the future.
In the end, the result was that Peng Xiangming was still responsible for supervising the production of the song, selling 500,000 yuan for the song and adding 100,000 yuan for the production fee, but this time, his lyrics, composition, arrangement and producer can get a total of 12.5% of the share - a little higher than the 12% of "Phoenix Flying".
Peng Xiangming was basically satisfied.
But there was another thing that made him a little helpless.
Kong Quan said that the movie "Tenant No. 4" seems to be very poor.
The result of his negotiation with Wu Yun, the producer of "Tenant No. 4", was that if the song "Dream Chaser" was licensed to the movie, the other party could only give a price of 600,000 yuan.
So Kong Quan said that the price was too low to accept at all!
Of course, it's not as low as he says.
Music works that have achieved good sales in the industry, or have a good reputation, are licensed for use in movies and TV series, as low as 100,000 yuan, and as high as two or three million, the key is whether the people who buy them have enough money, how much they need the song, and whether the people who sell it especially want to sell it, and so on.
Now it seems that Xu Jingwei and Wu Yun are not too wealthy.
But think about it, although it is the fourth movie, and the first three have indeed made money for investors, Xu Jingwei seems to have always been scared, and said that the investment of 30 million in this movie is very stressful, so ...... It's not incomprehensible that the two of them are desperately picking out the cost like this.
So, forget it, for the sake of him being the idol of the original owner, he has the right to make a good fate!
Anyway, it's definitely not very easy to do something like who pays more money to sell to whom, if you really do that, I'm afraid no one will be happy, so the price is a little lower - Mr. An, I'm still sorry!
Moreover, the relationship between each other is dealt with here first, and it is always a personal favor, and when Xu Jingwei's next drama starts filming, he can recommend someone to go in or something, and then it is estimated that the size will have to give some face.
To put it bluntly, friendship is of course important, but the exchange of interests is also ubiquitous.
It's Vanity Fair in itself!
So he made a decision: 600,000 is 600,000, sell!
However, to let the other party know that I insisted on selling it at this price, and the agent expressed serious opposition!
Kong Quan immediately understood.
............
That night, in a small private room in a hotel, after more than a month, Peng Xiangming saw Zhou Yuhua and Zhou Shunqing's mother and daughter again.
Zhou Yuhua was a little bejeweled, and he looked refreshed.
Zhou Shunqing wore a dry green dress, the skirt hung down to the instep, but there was a little bit of the backless one, which felt like an evening dress - frankly speaking, this color of clothes, ordinary girls dare not wear them, they can't hold it down, it is easy to look black and frustrated, and daring to wear it is enough to show enough confidence.
In his previous memory, Peng Xiangming only remembered that there seemed to be a skirt of a similar color in Liu Mi's wardrobe, but she hadn't seen her wear it for the time being.
And Zhou Shunqing dared to wear such a skirt, obviously she was also very confident.
She is a model-level figure, tall, tall, with good skin and white skin, wearing such a skirt, she actually has a bit of a fairy feeling, which makes Peng Xiangming stunned for two or three seconds before he comes back to his senses in embarrassment.
Of course, she was still as few and low-key as ever, and only occasionally raised her head and secretly glanced at Peng Xiangming. Most of the time, it was Zhou Yuhua who was chatting with Peng Xiangming over a drink.
She didn't even eat much, she was still like that, with two chopsticks between each dish and a few bites of rice together, she stopped eating and sat there honestly playing puppetry.
This meal is Peng Xiangming's treat, but it basically continues Zhou Yuhua's previous habit of entertaining, the restaurant is not big, and it is not too high-end, not to talk about any pomp, just to eat a meal and drink a glass of wine and chat.
And the chat was relatively pleasant.
Zhou Yuhua has been in the music industry for many years, has a wide range of experience, has a lot of contacts, she is changeable, very good at talking, chatting with such a person, basically will not be cold, and there will be no unpleasantness.
In the middle, she went out to the bathroom, Peng Xiangming wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Zhou Shunqing, but as soon as her mother left, Zhou Shunqing had already taken out her mobile phone, lowered her head, and typed there quickly.
Peng Xiangming had no choice but to take it back if he was ready.
But at this time, the girl suddenly raised her head and looked at him, her face was expressionless, she just stretched out her hand and pointed to the mobile phone he put on the corner of the table, and said, "It seems that someone has sent you WeChat." ”
Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment, picked up his mobile phone to connect to the Internet, clicked on WeChat and looked, and sure enough, there was a new message.
Zhou Shunqing: Why do you always want to ignore me?
