Qin Fangge called Zuo Shuqin to tell him about the situation, but Zuo Shuqin still refused to believe it, "April Fool's Day has long passed!"
Qin Fangge had to explain to her that Zhang Zhiwen really called him like this, and asked him to sign the contract.
Even if he knew that this was the real thing, Zuo Shuqin was not so surprised, "Anyway, I don't believe that CCTV and the crew will be so generous, it shouldn't be a big money who has taken a fancy to you!"
Qin Fangge said seriously, "I'm not a showman." ”
Zuo Shuqin was amused by him, "No matter what, it's a good thing, although this is the reward you deserve for doing so much music." But why, it feels a little weird! It must be the fault of this society. ”
Qin Fangge also laughed softly, "Senior Sister Zuo, come with me! I don't particularly understand the contract, so don't have any problems on this." ”
Zuo Shuqin agreed, and then made an appointment with him to meet at a time and place.
Qin Fangge called Zhao Yuhui again to tell him about the situation, Zhao Yuhui also felt incredible, in his opinion, Qin Fangge's proposal for the price of 150,000 yuan for an episode was purely a lion's mouth, in order to bargain and fight for more chips. I didn't expect the crew to really agree, this is obviously abnormal, you know, Wang Qingtian only gave 10,000 yuan per episode at the beginning, this gap is really a bit big.
However, Zhao Yuhui was not in Yanjing, and he went to other places with the art troupe to give condolence performances. He also instructed Qin Fangge that it was best to find a few people who understood the law, read the terms of the contract carefully first, and don't fall into other people's traps, such things often happen.
Qin Fangge thanked him, and cared about Zhao Yuhui's performance for a while, and then accepted the phone.
Zhang Zhiwen, the director, is really anxious, sign the contract early, and Qin Fangge should make music as soon as possible. The workload of composing the soundtrack for the new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is quite large, and if it is late, if it is not broadcast before the year, the investor can have a big opinion.
However, even Zhang Zhiwen himself felt very puzzled, how could those guys who usually want to use other people's music without spending money suddenly change their sex and be willing to invest such a large amount of money in music. What else do you say to give musicians fair treatment, who believes this nonsense?
But Zhang Zhiwen doesn't have to care so much, he knows that if someone is willing to pay, it doesn't matter if he treats them as stupid people with a lot of money or a real Bole.
Of course, on the surface, Zhang Zhiwen still has to tell Qin Fangge and Zuo Shuqin how hard he has worked to fight for the music budget these days.
Qin Fangge and Zuo Shuqin naturally nodded and thanked him, it was hard for him to attach so much importance to the music of the TV series.
In fact, Zhang Zhiwen didn't pay attention to it before, but he was just a director, and he still had to look at the face of the investor.
After Qin Fangge and Zuo Shuqin read the contract, they found that there were no traps in it, and the conditions were the same as what they had mentioned at the beginning.
In fact, it is equivalent to the crew spending 15 million to buy the right to use all the music of this TV series, and the copyright is still in Qin Fangge's own hands. But the recording, asking musicians and singers to do these things will all be borne by Qin Fangge himself, and the crew will no longer pay for it. Moreover, Qin Fangge also has to assure them of the quality of the music, and if there is a dispute or something, it has nothing to do with the crew. In terms of payment, the crew paid him half first, and the final payment was paid to him after he had completed all the composition and soundtrack, and the crew accepted it.
The two of them were still not at ease, so they asked Zhang Zhiwen for a fax machine and passed it to Zuo Shuqin's father, Zuo Mengfeng, who used to be a music producer. He has handled too many contracts, and if there are any traps in them, he can find them out as soon as possible.
When the news was important, Zhang Zhiwen didn't have to worry about the contract, so he pulled Qin Fangge and carefully discussed the specific soundtrack composition of this TV series with him, and asked the long-haired old man Chen Yumo to assist him.
The filming of the whole TV series is nearing the end, but before the editing has started, Zhang Zhiwen first showed Qin Fangge all the scripts, let him familiarize himself with the script first, and strive to make music that is more suitable for this TV series.
Zuo Shuqin was responsible for contacting Zuo Mengfeng, and after carefully studying the contracts they faxed one by one, Zuo Mengfeng also sighed to Zuo Shuqin on the phone, "I have been doing music for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen a contract with such superior terms." ”
Zuo Shuqin asked him, "That is, there is no trap or anything like that, can you sign it with confidence?"
Zuo Mengfeng said yes, and he also joked that it was best to act faster, so as not to regret it, once this contract is signed, it will have legal effect and can take effect immediately.
Zuo Shuqin said that he understood that Zuo Mengfeng's professionalism and insight were not in vain, and since he confirmed that there was no problem, then this matter could be settled like this.
After she went back to talk to Qin Fangge, Qin Fangge also signed this contract with the crew represented by Zhang Zhiwen on the spot, and he signed Qin Fangge Music Studio on his own side, although he was alone so far.
After signing the contract, Zhang Zhiwen also warmly shook hands with Qin Fangge and Zuo Shuqin, wishing them a happy cooperation. People of Zhang Zhiwen's level naturally know the importance of good music to a TV series.
Zhang Zhiwen is a workaholic and will work immediately.
However, he and Chen Yumofang were responsible for making requests, and Qin Fangge was responsible for meeting their requirements, there was a lot of money, but it was really not so easy to get.
Fortunately, Qin Fangge has enough music of all kinds in his head, and there are also classic TV series soundtrack episodes from another world, not to mention anything else, just talking about it is a set.
Zuo Shuqin can also insert a few words, she herself still has a lot of understanding and insights in folk music.
Qin Fangge thinks that after seeing the finished TV series, he can be more exquisite, and before that, he can only make some preparations.
This requires a more tacit understanding with the crew, Zhang Zhiwen agrees with his opinion, and says that he will be notified as soon as possible after the editing is completed.
Qin Fangge also said that he would make a sample first, and wait for Zhang Zhiwen and them to be satisfied before officially recording, which is also stipulated in the contract, otherwise it will be difficult to say the final payment.
Zhang Zhiwen naturally couldn't ask for it, and he really wanted to make this TV series a classic. Not to mention how much money to spend for the time being, he doesn't have to pay for it himself, this money is still quite worth it, and Qin Fangge's professional attitude alone is worth giving thirty-two praises.
When Zuo Shuqin and Qin Fangge went back, it was already late at night, Zuo Shuqin drove him back, and told him on the way, "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
Qin Fangge also joked with her, "How can Senior Sister Zuo figure out if the whole life is actually a dream?"
Zuo Shuqin asked him why he said this, and Qin Fangge asked her if she had seen such science fiction, people thought they were really alive, but in fact, the simulation program in the computer was running automatically according to the settings.
Zuo Shuqin said that he hadn't seen it, and asked what it was called, if it was made into a movie, it should be quite interesting.
Qin Fangge said that there are a lot of similar ones, fantasy, as long as the imagination is rich enough, anything can be thought of. But if you want to shoot well, it's not so easy.
Zuo Shuqin also smiled, "Anyway, you don't make movies, don't care about this." Although the task is completed now, and the rewards are very satisfying, I am afraid it will not be so easy to do it well!
Qin Fangge smiled and said no, "Then they don't have to scold me to death! Now that the TV series has not been edited, there is no need to be so anxious." What's more, when the time comes, it is better to make a sample first, and if you officially record it, you will have to wait a long time. ”
Zuo Shuqin laughed at him, "You are full of confidence." ”
"That is, where do you dare to do porcelain work without that diamond diamond. Qin Fangge boasted.
"That's good, let's follow the light. Fifteen million, what a concept, it's exciting to think about. Zuo Shuqin said hehehe, "If you want to compose music for other TV series, it's great to be able to get 1.5 million, you have to be prepared to have a treat." ”
"Tell me when you all have time. Qin Fangge said with a smile, it's different if the crew is rich, after the contract is signed, his bank account will soon arrive at 7.5 million, and he is now a millionaire.
"If you have food, you must be free. Zuo Shuqin sent him to the mouth of the alley, and asked him with a smile, "Don't you invite me in to sit?"
Qin Fangge only replied with a smile, "Senior Sister Zuo, let's go back early, otherwise Uncle Zuo will definitely find someone to ask me for." Didn't I call you just now?"
Zuo Shuqin was just joking with him, and after saying goodnight, he drove home.
After Qin Fangge returned to the house by himself, he washed off the fatigue on his body as usual, and then began to practice the piano before making music, and the main task at the moment was naturally the soundtrack composition of this new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Chen Yushan came back from singing in the bar, and also asked him about the contract with concern, and after Qin Fangge briefly explained, the girl couldn't close her mouth happily. She also excitedly said to Qin Fangge, "You must have met a nobleman!"
Qin Fangge joked that his nobleman was Chen Yushan, because she was willing to sing the songs he wrote.
"That's right for me to say that!" Chen Yushan pouted, "Then you won't have anything to do for the next half a year, and I have to work harder to practice good songs." ”
As long as the crew has the right to use the music, Qin Fangge plans to sing the right songs to Chen Yushan. However, he also told Chen Yushan bluntly, provided that she could pass him by singing.
Chen Yushan nodded vigorously, no matter whether she could do it or not, she would work hard, and she didn't want to drag Qin Fangge's hind legs.
"If Sister Chen has time, read more about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I brought it here. Qin Fangge also told her, "Especially related to several songs, that is, the plot with female characters." ”
Chen Yushan nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, of course she knew that if she didn't know about these histories, how could she sing well! This time, her task was even heavier, and it was not easy to sing these songs well, and Qin Fang's requirements were so strict that they were almost nitpicking, and Chen Yushan had also deeply experienced them.
But she also knows that once she sings a few songs of this TV series well, then she will really have a chance to become an instant hit. After spending so much to produce a TV series, the ratings will definitely not be low when the time comes, and the songs in it will not be widely sung, at least they can attract everyone's attention!
For now, she still has to practice singing honestly, and she has to go to the bar to sing at night.
Moreover, she doesn't have as much energy as Qin Fangge, and getting up early is the king. As for Qin Fangge, she didn't want to persuade him to rest early now.
Qin Fangge's life is still very regular, working until three or four o'clock in the morning, sleeping for two or three hours a day, then getting up to exercise, and then going to Zhou Xiuying's house to learn opera with her.
Knowing that he is making rapid progress in his studies, Zhou Xiuying has stricter requirements for him, and she hopes that Qin Fangge can be the most perfect. For example, she has strict requirements for Qin Fangge's expression when singing, she can't be like some people, when she sings, she can't wait to open her mouth to the maximum, and her face is distorted to a piece, it feels similar to constipation, and it is definitely not okay to have no beauty at all.
Qin Fangge's congenital conditions are superior, and Zhou Xiuying can ask him more in details.
It's also because Qin Fangge's physical strength is amazing, otherwise, he would definitely be tossed crazy by this equally energetic old lady.
After the morning class, Qin Fangge had lunch at Zhou Xiuying's house, and then he was ready to continue to practice in classroom 201 of the Conservatory of Music.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Fangge arrived, almost all the members of Jin Sehua had already gathered in 201, Huang Jing was the first to jump in front of him, quite lively and cute, and she also stretched out her hands to him, "Senior Brother Qin, congratulations on winning such a big order, shouldn't you say something!"
Qin Fangge said with a smile, "What does Senior Sister Huang Jing want?" I will try my best to meet your needs. ”
Chen Tianhong hurriedly said, "I think she lacks a boyfriend, should you think about it." ”
"Chen Tianhong, don't make trouble!" Huang Jing frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey! You should have thought of it yourself, why do you ask me?"
Qin Fangge said, "I just want to invite you to dinner." ”
"Cut!" Huang Jing looked him up and down, "Listening to your piano music, and when you play the piano yourself, it's quite romantic!
Chen Tianhong was clamoring next to her again, laughing at her, "Yo, I can't see it, Huang Jing still wants to be romantic!"
Huang Jing immediately turned her gaze and glared at Chen Tianhong with all her might.
Lin Baoqing stood up and said the truth for Huang Jing, "Indeed, I feel that Qin Fangge is a bit old-fashioned in real life, and there is no such problem in music." Is that genius?"
Teng Shuting complained loudly, "He just killed the students of our composition department this day, and the professors all came to compare with us, is this comparable? This guy is now the soundtrack for the TV series, and our professors don't dare to take this job." Qin Fangge, you make it clear to us, do you want us to live!"
The girls all giggled, during this time, the composition students represented by Teng Shuting were indeed miserable by Qin Fangge.
Zuo Shuqin said good things for him, "When he takes over this job, he will not only get benefits for himself, but also for our sisters." With so many soundtracks, he can't leave our sisters behind and find someone else to record them! But if we are to do it ourselves, we have to practice hard, so as not to be embarrassed and thrown in front of the people of the whole country. ”
Huang Jing said with a grin, "Boss, you can rest assured, don't dare to say anything else, professionally, all of us have never been ambiguous." ”
Wang Zizi coughed twice, and then pretended to deliberately put on a noble and cold shelf, "That's right, Senior Brother Qin, we don't easily help people record!"
Pan Linna also echoed and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Qin, do you think it's time to say hehe!"
Qin Fangge said with a smile, "This is really no problem, the budget is quite sufficient." ”
Zuo Shuqin poured cold water on them, "It's too early to say this, when you go back, let's read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms a few times first!"
As soon as she said this, it immediately caused a wail, and Pan Lina tried to discuss with her, "Boss, can you not read it?"
Zuo Shuqin only gave her a roll of the eyes, "If you can make sure that you can play well, it's okay to read or not." People pay such a high price, not because they want to get some shoddy music. The soundtrack of a hundred episodes needs to express different emotions. No matter how well Qin Fangge's tunes are done, they must be able to play them, and there must be no negligence in this. ”
"Boss, I promise to go back carefully and grasp the essence of it. Pan Lina didn't argue and immediately assured her.
The other girls also nodded, and Zuo Shuqin's words also made them realize that this was not an easy task.
Huang Jing also said with emotion, "It's really not easy to make money these days!"
Zuo Shuqin told her, "It's better for us to be content, if Qin Fangge can't get such a preferential contract this time, if you want to make money, you still have to perform to teach students." ”
Qin Fangge said in a low-key manner, "That's also Senior Sister Zuo, you gave me a solid backing, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take this job hard." I haven't even started with the creation of folk music, so I have to learn more from you, and we will all work together in the future. ”
"Your creative ability is what they value! For groups like ours, they can have as much as they want. Lin Baoqing commented quite objectively.
Qin Fangge said, "It's not entirely like this, Baoqing's strength is quite recognized by even Director Zhang Zhiwen, and I also told him that the guqin in the TV series is played by Baoqing." ”
Even Lin Baoqing, who is usually full of confidence, said that the pressure on his body is quite great at this moment, and the guqin is not so easy to play well.
Then the girls began to gossip again, whether it was Qin Fangge's strength or their charm that could win such a contract. In their opinion, this is no different from pie in the sky, at least, before this, they have never heard of a crew willing to spend such a large amount of money on film and television-related music. The soundtracks of those TV series are basically copied from east to west, and there are also original ones, but the price they give to original musicians is really outrageously low.
