The address is in an antique teahouse, the scenery outside the window is beautiful, at a glance, the green water is miao, and the rockeries are numerous.

Seeing this scene for the first time, Liao Yuan inexplicably thought of the picture of Daiyu burying flowers in "Dream of Red Mansions", which was simply poetic.

In early summer, all kinds of flowers and branches in the yard are spreading, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, there are some petals blown off by the wind floating on the water surface, fish are shuttling in the water, someone is waving gently in the attic, and some fish feed can be seen in the sky spilling down, and the water surface ripples.

Liao Yuan clearly saw a fat carp jumping out of the water.

It's a pity that there is no gantry.

There is a kinship.

The teahouse is a private club, not open to the public, Liao Yuan inquired for a while, then reported his name, and waited in place for a while before a waiter came to lead him to the designated box.

"Mr. Liao. ”

In the box, Zhang Chao introduced to Liao Yuan courteously: "This is my uncle, the most famous director in the film industry today, since his debut, he has become popular with countless popular actors, and many people can't get it if they want to see him." But he came all the way from the west so that you could meet you, which shows that my great uncle attaches so much importance to your music. ”

Liao Yuan looked at Zhang Yichi, judging from the published information, Zhang Yichi is over half a hundred years old.

But the other party is close at hand, if you ignore the short black and white hair, Liao Yuan feels that the other party is probably only about forty years old in terms of spirit and dress.

Zhang Yichi got up, shook hands with Liao Yuan with a smile, and asked kindly while inviting Liao Yuan to take a seat: "I invited many composers to score "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", but they all ended in failure, none of the music could satisfy me, but I never thought that it would be easily created by Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao is really young. ”

Liao Yuan was shocked by Zhang Yichi's crepe way of speaking, and was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Director Zhang likes it." ”

Zhang Yichi smiled: "I like it, I like it very much." But "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" is a historical drama after all, and the soundtrack is a bit monotonous just by adding piano music, if Mr. Liao has time, I still hope that you can personally change this piece into a concerto, and the addition of more instruments can also reflect a more majestic atmosphere. ”

"Exodus itself is a concerto, and it needs to be played by a concert group to bring out the essence of the whole piece. ”

Liao Yuan promised: "I'll send you the complete score when I go back." ”

"I see. ”

Zhang Yichi said with satisfaction: "That's really good." ”

After finishing speaking, he personally washed and made tea for Liao Yuan, "I heard Zhang Chao say, you urgently need a Steinway piano?"

When Liao Yuan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Then how many Stanway do you think Exodus is worth?" asked Zhang Yichi.

Liao Yuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yichi waved his hand: "You don't have to think about it, I just really like this piece too much, so I'm curious, how much is this piece worth in your heart, if it's the same thing that the hero sees, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

At this time, under Zhang Yichi's instructions, Zhang Chao took out two document bags from his briefcase and handed them to Liao Yuan and Zhang Yichi respectively.

"This is a contract, except for promotional activities related to "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "Exodus" will not be used for other commercial purposes, if it is used, you will be notified in advance, and you will be paid an additional honorarium. ”

Zhang Yichi pointed to a string of numbers on the contract: "I originally just came up with one million, but after I heard about your appeal from Zhang Chao, I added some more, a total of 1.43 million, just enough for you to buy an S-277 Steinway piano, if you have no doubts, sign here, fill in your ID number and bank card number, and I will ask the crew to transfer money to you in the afternoon." ”

Liao Yuan nodded, and after carefully checking the content of the contract, he happily signed his name.

Is Exodus worth 1,430,000?

This can only be said to be the opinion of the benevolent, the wise see the wise, in the eyes of those who really ask for it, even if it is increased tenfold, it is not too much, but on the contrary, it is worthless.

To put it simply, it's important to find the right market.

In his previous life, in view of the sophistication of people, Liao Yuan would more or less throw out some classic songs for his friends in the circle to sing.

But even if it's a friend, the starting price is at the million-level level.

This, in addition to the quality of the song itself, also carries the popularity effect of Liao Yuan itself.

If such a song can make the singer's album a big hit, then the value it generates is far more than a million.

For Liao Yuan in his previous life, is it more than a million? It is definitely not much, and it is not even worth mentioning.

Because in terms of value alone, Liao Yuan, who has debuted for ten years, is not far behind even compared with some popular traffic small fresh meat.

Only for participating in a large-scale inspirational professional music review program, during the period of serving as a critic tutor, Liao Yuan can get an appearance fee worth 2.1 million yuan for each episode of the program.

After a whole season of the show, Liao Yuan can easily get 50 million in compensation, which includes the appearance fee of the behind-the-scenes audition in addition to the officially broadcast program.

Therefore, in the face of the copyright fee of 1.43 million, Liao Yuan did not show how ecstatic he looked, even if Zhang Yichi seriously said that the other 430,000 was an "additional bonus", Liao Yuan still looked calm.

This also made Zhang Yichi appreciate Liao Yuan even more.

As a director, he naturally has his own set of approved standards for acting skills, and he can see that this Liao Yuan really didn't take this more than one million in his eyes.

Zhang Yichi couldn't help but recall the ecstasy he was when he got the box office share for the first time, compared with Liao Yuan's attitude of not being arrogant and impatient, and being humble and humble, it was really a high judgment.

Subsequently, Liao Yuan chatted with Zhang Yichi for a long time, during which they agreed on the name of the music.

The melody of "Exodus" is indeed majestic, pathetic and vast, which is in line with Zhang Yichi's imagination, but the name "Exodus" is somewhat inconsistent with "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" after all, so after discussion, the name of the music was finally set as "Exodus of the Western Regions".

After leaving the teahouse, Liao Yuan did not rush back to the company, but came to Stanway Music Store again according to Zhang Chao's request.

This time, he didn't come to rent a piano.

"Mr. Liao......"

Miao Bizhu looked at the man who carefully filled out the "S-277 Purchase Confirmation", and his voice trembled a little: "You...... Really want to buy the S-277?"

Liao Yuan raised his head: "Otherwise?"

Miao Bizhu took a deep breath, under Liao Yuan's gaze, she only felt her face red and her heart was hot, so she coughed and reminded in a low voice: "This piano is worth 1.43 million, it's really too expensive, don't you think about it anymore?"

Liao Yuan smiled: "I haven't seen any sales consultant push customers out!"

"No, no, no. Miao Bizhu hurriedly shook his hand: "I'm just thinking about you." ”

Liao Yuan didn't raise his head, and continued to fill out the subscription form: "Then do you think I can't afford it?"

"That's not even worse, the store manager has already called and ordered, and he will pay the deposit...... Well, I won't mention ......"

Miao Bizhu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally sighed secretly: "Maybe this is the big guy!"

At this time, Liao Yuan's subscription form was also filled in, he closed the cap of the pen, and handed the subscription form to Miao Bizhu: "I will send it here when it arrives." ”
