Chapter 31: Four and a Half Million for a Song
Although Jay Chou made his debut as a pop singer, his early songs were deeply influenced by Tao Zhe, the godfather of Taiwan, and the genre included RAP.
Like the first album JAY, there are already songs with rap.
And the later albums have appeared a lot, which are mixed with rap rap style songs.
For example, Jay Chou's masterpiece "Nunchucks"
Another example, listen to your mother's words, Daoxiang.
And so on, these are some of the more popular, rap style songs.
There are also some rap songs that Li Yingjun likes, such as, "Reverse Scales, General, Embattled, Death of the End of War, Dancing Spring and Autumn, Chapter 7 of the Night, In the Name of the Father, etc. ”
Therefore, Li Yingjun knows that rap still has a large market in country Z, but the premise is that it must be sung in country Z-style rap, and it must be cool in country Z in the end.
Therefore, after Li Yingjun decided to write a rap song for Liu Tianjie, he was ready to give Jay Chou's hardcore classic rap to Liu Tianjie "against the scales".
First, since he chose to write songs for Liu Tianjie, he can't come up with some songs that are too bad, after all, Liu Tianjie has such a high popularity, and it is impossible for him to come up with songs that are too bad.
In the future, if this song "Reverse Scale" becomes popular, then Li Yingjun, as the author, will also gain considerable popularity.
Therefore, after some trade-offs and reluctance, he gave the "reverse scale" to Liu Tianjie.
But the other party refused, of course, this did not surprise Li Yingjun, after all, in the current Chinese music scene, it is believed that rap is niche and cannot have much market.
But Li Yingjun didn't want to give up, and decided to persuade Liu Tianjie, after all, he could let Liu Tianjie promote rap first and set a precedent, which would pave the way for him to launch rap in the future.
"I think you can give it a try. Li Yingjun said sincerely.
Liu Tianjie shook his head, "Forget it, I want a pop song that can become popular all over the country, not a rap song." ”
"Rap can also be popular all over the country. ”
Li Yingjun said, "And it is not impossible to be popular in the world." ”
There is a rapper named Mu Ye in Europe and the United States, and he won the Grammy by rapping.
"World Pop?"
Liu Tianjie was a little surprised, and then glanced at Zhang Min on the side, and sneered: "Sister Min, young people nowadays are really ambitious......"
Then he looked at his watch, and then said to Li Yingjun: "Okay, I still have some things, I bought your song in Chengdu, so let's see that you have a good relationship with Sister Min, I will give you 500,000, I bought this song." ”
Half a million.
This price is already very high in the circle, and the most popular composer today only has more than 3 million yuan to tailor a song.
And Liu Tianjie can give Li Yingjun 500,000 yuan, which is more for Zhang Min's face, of course, there are many because he likes the song Chengdu, and he also thinks that this song can be popular.
After Liu Tianjie finished speaking, his eyes flashed with determination, as if he believed that Li Yingjun would sell it to him.
Zhang Min looked at Liu Tianjie, and his eyes also showed satisfaction, Liu Tianjie was very face-saving.
But Li Yingjun looked at Liu Tianjie and sighed in his heart, it seems that he can only change the song.
So he shook his head: "I still say the same thing, I don't buy ...... in Chengdu"
"Listen to me. ”
When Liu Tianjie was about to speak in surprise, Li Yingjun said: "The song just now is indeed not popular nationwide, but I will change the rap for you and decide that it can become popular nationally and become a classic." ”
Rap songs, popular all over the country, have they become classics?
Just kidding.
Liu Tianjie frowned, looked at the time, and was a little impatient: "What song?"
"Listen to your mother. ”
Li Yingjun said.
Listen to your mom?
Liu Tianjie was stunned, and Zhang Min also raised his eyebrows.
"This song is guaranteed to be a national hit and become a classic. ”
Li Yingjun affirmed, because he knows how popular this song is, it can even be tough, and only his mother is good in the world.
"Huh!"
But to Li Yingjun's disappointment, Liu Tianjie didn't even have the idea of looking at the lyrics, it seemed that as soon as he heard the rap song, he had already arbitrarily thought in his heart that this song was not good, and Li Yingjun was talking big.
So after he sneered, he said to Li Yingjun seriously: "It's been almost 30 years since I debuted, and I'm also a senior in the entertainment industry. ”
Li Yingjun wanted to say something, Liu Tianjie continued: "Of course, you love rap, and I can't stop it, but I want to remind you as a person who has come over, if you want to go long in the music world, then I advise you to sing pop songs, or even if you sing your ballads, it is better than rap." ”
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Liu Tianjie looked at Li Yingjun with a serious expression: "This is the advice of a person who has come over to you." ”
Li Yingjun's eyebrows under the mask furrowed into a Sichuan character, he wanted to reason with Liu Tianjie now, but in the end, he thought about it.
Now don't say that you can talk to Liu Tianjie, rap can become popular, and rap can be popular all over the country, just look at Zhang Min on the side, his eyes are full of disbelief.
Ay.
It's you who missed two classic songs, don't cry when the time comes.
Li Yingjun seems to be able to see that when he listens to his mother's words in the future, this song is sung, and after it explodes, Liu Tianjie's regretful appearance.
Gee.
Thinking about it, Li Yingjun couldn't help laughing.
Well?
This smile made Liu Tianjie a little puzzled, what are you laughing at?
"Sister Min, is there anything else?"
After Li Yingjun finished laughing, he asked Zhang Min, he also felt that it was not early, and was ready to go home to cook for Li Xiaoyu.
Zhang Min looked at Liu Tianjie, a hesitation flashed in his eyes, Liu Tianjie had helped her before, but now Liu Tianjie is in trouble, she doesn't help, it doesn't seem to be the case.
So after struggling for a long time, Zhang Min said: "Handsome, in fact, it is not impossible for you to buy that song in Chengdu for Liu Tianjie." ”
"Oh, Sister Min wants me to sell it to him?" Li Yingjun looked at Zhang Min curiously, and he was still thinking about why Zhang Min, the owner of a bar, had such a good relationship with a king like Liu Tianjie.
"It's not that you are asked to buy it for him. ”
Zhang Min pulled the hair that blocked half of his face: "It's just that I think that song in Chengdu is not suitable for you, besides, don't you need money now? Tell you secretly, Liu Tianjie is very rich, he just paid 500,000 yuan, you don't agree to give him a price!"
Liu Tianjie on the side looked depressed, Sister Min, are you saying it so loudly?
But then Liu Tianjie also looked at Li Yingjun with expectant eyes.
Li Yingjun looked at Zhang Min's body, then at Liu Tianjie, and finally weighed it again and again, and decided to sell Zhang Min a face.
So he nodded: "Okay, then I'll give Sister Min such face, I sold this song." ”
Zhang Min had a smile on his face, Liu Tianjie also showed excitement on his face, and he was just about to say something, but Li Yingjun's next sentence directly made him stiffen with a smile on his face.
"500,000 I think is too little, this song is at least 5 million. ”
After Li Yingjun finished speaking, he looked at Liu Tianjie: "Do you think we can sign the contract now." ”
OK?
You can be your sister.
Liu Tianjie has a black line on his face, and there are only more than 3 million composers in the best country of 5 million, and only 7 or 8 million composers in the world.
And it's tailor-made.
You want five million when you open your mouth?
Why don't you grab it?
"It's a bit expensive at the price. ”
Liu Tianjie wanted to say something, but when he heard Zhang Min on the side speak, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, Sister Min is good, Sister Min feels sorry for me.
"Sister Min, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Li Yingjun asked Zhang Min.
Zhang Min frowned, and after a deep groan, he said, "I think four and a half million is about the same." ”
"Good. ”
After Zhang Min finished speaking, Li Yingjun agreed, he sold songs to give Zhang Min face, since he gave face, he will give it to the end today.
"Liu Tianwang, four and a half million, it's okay. ”
Subsequently, Li Yingjun said to Liu Tianjie, and added a sentence after speaking: "I think the price offered by Sister Min is quite reasonable, what about you?"
Belch.
Liu Tianjie swallowed all the words he wanted to say when he came to his mouth.
looked at Li Yingjun with a resentful face, you said everything like this, what else can I say, I am also helpless.
Chong Li Yingjun nodded, and then looked at Zhang Min with complaining eyes: "Sister Min, since you have spoken, I bought this song for the four and a half million." ”
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Min nodded lightly: "It's not expensive." ”
Li Yingjun smiled: "It's not too expensive." ”
Liu Tianjie wailed in his heart, you don't think it's expensive, but I think it's expensive, I'll pay for it.
……
After that, Liu Tianzhuo 4.5 million yuan, buying Li Yingjun Chengdu's song is decided.
The two agreed to sign the contract tomorrow.
After everything was done, Li Yingjun breathed a sigh of relief, because he only had three yuan left in his card now, and he was still worried about how to get money, but he didn't expect to earn nearly five million small money so quickly.
Well, not bad.
"Sister Namin, Liu Tianwang, if it's okay, I'll go first. ”
Li Yingjun, who made money and was in a good mood, decided to hurry home and buy two chicken legs for Li Xiaoyu after looking at the time, and add dinner tonight to celebrate.
"One more thing. ”
Zhang Min called out to him.
"What's the matter, Sister Min?"
"That's the case, I don't know if you know, there is a singing competition program called "The King of Newcomers in the Music World". “
The king of newcomers in the music scene?
Li Yingjun was stunned, this program didn't seem to exist before the world was modified, it should be a program that appeared after the world entertainment data was modified.
He obviously didn't know.
Shaking his head: "I don't know." ”
"Don't know?"
Zhang Min and Liu Tianjie were a little surprised, which made Li Yingjun a little confused, as for it? I don't know a variety show, as for being so surprised?
"What's the matter, Sister Min, is that the newcomer Wang Variety Show in the music world very popular?" asked Li Yingjun while touching the back of his head.
Zhang Min said: "It's not just fire, but if you can win the final championship, you will win the title of the king of newcomers in the music world, which is an honor." ”
Liu Tianjie on the side added: "As a singer who wants to enter the music industry, you don't know the newcomer king of the music world, don't you want to win the honor of the newcomer king of the music world?"
Li Yingjun was speechless, when did I say that I want to enter the music world?
I just sing to earn a bite to eat, no!
