The efficiency of Liu Ying's agency was very fast, and the next day, on the third day, her agent asked Liu Pian to come out to negotiate the price of the two songs, and there was a taste of vow in her tone.

Liu Pian knows the strength of "The Harder the Love", and also knows that most of the other party will not miss this song.

If Liu Ying's opinion is really rejected by the agency, then Liu Pian doesn't care, it's a big deal to find other female singers, and if he can't find it, let Xu Ran find it. When the movie is released and the song becomes popular, those who have rejected it will definitely regret it.

The agency behind Liu Ying is a gold medal entertainment company, which has a number of artists across film and television music, and there are even first-line artists in Xiangjiang. Liu Ying is not the most well-known among them, it can only be said that it is on the second side, some distance away from the first-line artists.

This meeting was arranged in-house.

"This is Mr. Liu Pian, not only a singer-songwriter, but also a screenwriter. Liu Ying introduced her family to her agent.

Her agent is a middle-aged woman: a middle-aged woman who is dressed more fashionably, standing next to Liu Ying, more like her sister.

When she saw Liu Pian for the first time, Li Ya's first impression was that she was too young, so young that it was difficult for her to associate the lyrics in "The Harder the Lover" and "Passerby" with the young man in front of her.

Are young people in the mainland so precocious now?

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I am Liu Ying's agent, Li Ya. Li Ya still said quite politely.

Liu Pian smiled shyly: "Sister Li, hello." ”

After some politeness, the two sides began to talk about the price of the song. I have to say that Liu Pian's handsome face and his words that are difficult to distinguish between true and false make Li Ya feel that this young man is very good, not arrogant or impatient, and more reliable.

Liu Pian has always been like this to strangers, picking up what the other party likes to hear, and will not expose her true thoughts. In fact, many people are like this to strangers they meet for the first time, they will show their good side, but in the face of familiar relatives and friends, they don't care that they see their shortcomings and sloppiness, and even often play a bad temper with their relatives.

The real side is often accompanied by too many disgusting flaws, a mask carved with lies, and at some point it has to be worn.

Liu Pian, just get used to it.

"One hundred thousand, how?" Li Ya offered a price.

"Yes. Liu Pian nodded.

Li Ya's heart welled up with joy, two good songs with good songs, it is very good to buy them for 100,000 yuan.

But there is often a gap between the truth and the reality.

"The song "Passerby", I can sell it to you for 100,000 yuan!" Liu Pian said very seriously.

"This can't be!" Li Ya's reaction was fierce, looking at Liu Pian like looking at a madman. "The Harder the Lover" sells for 100,000 yuan, how can "Passerby" sell for 100,000?

"I've already made the song. ”

"It's not worth that much to make a good song!"

Liu Pian replied lightly: "This song has a movie for promotion, but it saves you a lot of publicity effort." ”

"That's too high, too. "Li Ya is very disdainful, Xiangjiang lyrics can't sell a song for 100,000 yuan, even if you are a newcomer, you can't sell so much, do you want to treat us as a wronged leader?

Liu Pian also knows in her heart that "Passerby" is indeed not top-notch, if there is no movie as a background foreshadowing, I am afraid it will not be worth 50,000.

The two sides are scrambling, and the price of the song "Passerby" has been determined. Li Ya is only willing to give a price of 50,000 yuan at most, and no matter how high it is, she will not let go, which is still proposed when she looks at the song itself well and is supported by the movie. Of course, Liu Pian wants to sell as much as possible, and 50,000 yuan is a bit low in his opinion, but it is not unacceptable.

After pondering for a while, Liu Pian shifted the topic to the song "The Harder the Love". This song, which was all the rage in that world and won so many awards, if he was given such a low price, then he felt that today's transaction would not be necessary.

Li Ya also felt that the Cantonese song "The Harder the Love" was better, and the price given was higher, and she directly gave 100,000 yuan.

"100,000 is too low. Liu Pian refused without hesitation, "This song is the most thoughtful song I have written so far, and with the promotion of the movie, it can definitely become a hit! If it is only 100,000, I will not sell it, at least 200,000." ”

Li Ya was very puzzled, she didn't understand why Liu Pian had such a lot of confidence that her songs could become popular, just because the movie was good?

It's still 200,000 yuan, and it's not certain whether the movie can be popular.

"100,000 is the limit I can give. Li Ya pretended to regret, "I admit that this song is very good, but that's all." ”

"Sister Li, don't you have confidence in this song?" Liu Pian narrowed.

"Self-confidence and arrogance are two different things, and they cannot be equated. Li Ya was slightly sarcastic, if the famous Xiangjiang lyricist Zhang Xun said this to himself, it would be similar to you, you are a screenwriter and singer-songwriter, even if you are young, you are not very old, but you are involved in a lot.

How can you have so much energy?

Liu Ying saw that the two didn't talk, and tried to alleviate it, "Why don't we all take a step back, the two songs have a total of 180,000, how about it?"

"No!" This time, Liu Pian and Li Ya both objected.

Li Ya: "It's too high! 150,000 at most!"

Liu Pian: "It's too low!"

Liu Ying is very helpless, she likes these two songs very much, but she likes to like it, she can't be the master when it comes to talking about money, and there is a brokerage company behind her.

Liu Pian also has a bit of a headache, he understands where his shortcomings are, it's just that he is a little-known little character in Xiangjiang, no fame, even if the song is well written, he can't get people's attention. He also understands that people don't have the courage to bet too much on themselves, if he is a famous songwriter, the price of 200,000 yuan, people estimate that they should come down in one bite.

But he didn't want to sell this song so cheaply, he knew how popular this song was in another world, and the system would not deceive people in this concept of right and wrong.

The more he thought about it, the more Liu Pian fell into a dead end.

Li Ya has nothing to fear, the price of 100,000 yuan is already a high price in her opinion, if it weren't for Liu Ying's strong recommendation, she wouldn't want to give it so high. Even if the young man in front of him went to find someone else, he couldn't find a higher bid than himself.

Liu Pian was calm on the surface, and was even in the mood to drink saliva, but her heart was entangled.

What is in front of us now is nothing more than low-hanging fruit money and fame that can only be obtained in the future.

Choose more money, then the deal is likely to collapse, then what to talk about later. Choose to facilitate the deal, after the song and movie become popular, you can gain fame, and with fame, other things will naturally come slowly....

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Pian finally gave in, and gave up a little benefit now in exchange for more reports in the future. Thinking that some famous songwriters were not achieved overnight, Liu Pian was also relieved.

Who can climb to the sky in one step?

"Sister Li, 160,000. Liu Pian increased by 10,000 on the basis of 150,000, "If you agree to this price, we will sign the contract." ”

Hearing this, Li Ya still wanted to lower the price, but was kicked by Liu Ying under the table, and seeing that people were slightly anxious, it seemed that she was afraid of missing these two songs. After complaining in her heart, Li Ya finally agreed to the price.

Liu Pian also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally raised the price, which was nothing more than to earn back a breath, which could be regarded as a psychological comfort for herself.

......

After signing the contract, the two sides had lunch together. In the afternoon, Liu Pian went to Zedong Company and reported the situation to Xu Ran.

Now that the post-production work of "Dark Wars" has entered the final stage, if there is no such thing as an interlude and a theme song, maybe it could have been completed earlier.

In Liu Pian and Liu Ying's contract, one of them is to authorize the use of two songs for "Dark War". As the heroine herself, Liu Ying has a deep understanding of these two songs, and in the next period of time, she is ready to devote all her energy to recording two songs to speed up the production of the film.

At the beginning of August, Liu Ying finished recording and handed over the two songs to the crew.

Xu Ran plans to add two songs to the trailer, with the release of Liu Ying's two singles, to warm up the movie together.

Sometimes a movie can bring a song to popularity, and a song can also earn countless attention for the movie before it is released.

It's a matter of mutual benefit and mutual benefit.

In mid-August, the film was produced and packaged and sent to Hong Kong and the mainland for review. The Xiangjiang side is reviewed and graded by the Electrical Inspection Department, and the mainland is radio and television, but the radio and television audit is not graded, and it can be released after that, but it can't be released.

The Xiangjiang Electricity Inspection Office will give the movie a rating, even if it is a pornographic movie, but it is limited to teenagers under the age of 18 who cannot watch it.

For Mao, many people say that is a tertiary film?

Because the classification of is classified as Level III, referred to as: Level 3 films!

But tertiary films are not all pornography, and there are many anti-social and anti-three-view movies, which of course cannot be shown to teenagers who are shaping the three views.

Not suitable for children.

However, the dark war will not be classified as a third-level film, and finally it will be assigned to the IIB level. It is said that teenagers are not suitable, but there are no hard requirements, teenagers can go if they want, and they will not be blocked from entering teenagers under the age of 18 like a tertiary film.

In the mainland, "Dark War" also successfully passed the review. Now is not the era when Xiangjiang has just returned, it is much more open than before, many movies in Xiangjiang have been released in the mainland, and the secret war is just a police movie, there are no pornographic and bloody pictures, and there is no factor to smear the government.

After the review, there is no big problem.

In addition, Taiwan, island countries, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, Zedong has also arranged movie release times one after another.

Eventually, the film's release in Hong Kong and mainland China was scheduled for the National Day, and other places had to be postponed for a while, possibly until next year at the latest.

......

On August 20th, the dust settled on the movie, and Liu Pian rested for two days and was ready to go home.

In the near future, the Huaxia Conservatory of Music will open, and he will have to be busy with the new students entering the school. Liu Pian heard that the freshmen still have military training, which makes people's brains hurt, so he has to be careful.

At noon, Liu Yi sent Liu Pian to the airport.

The two people, who were not so serious, had been together for a few months, and got along very well, but they always had some similar smells. As the saying goes, the friendship of a gentleman is as light as water, but neither of them is a gentleman, and the friendship is of course more than that.

"I'll see you at the beginning of school. Liu Pian smiled.

Liu Yi looked very helpless, "Alas, the thought of seeing you again in a few days makes me feel very fucked." ”

Liu Pian silently raised his middle finger and said disdainfully: "I was going to send you a song, but seeing that you don't like me so much, then forget it." ”

Liu Yi's expression immediately turned 80 degrees, and he said with a smile: "Wow, Liu Pian, when I think of seeing you at the beginning of school, I am really happy in my heart, and we can be happy friends again." ”

Liu Pian only felt furious, a teddy talking to you like this, there must be no good intentions.

"Stop. Liu Pian quickly took out the prepared song from her bag, "Take it and gag your mouth." ”

Liu Yi was unceremoniously, took the song and put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Good buddy, please provide you with one-stop health care service in the future." ”

"Huh. Liu Pian sneered.

"I'd better give you money, I can't take you for nothing. ”

"Come on, it's just my summer stay at your house for accommodation and food. Liu Pian waved his hand, not verbose, and turned to leave, "Let's go, see you at the beginning of school." ”

"Wait. ”

"I said I wouldn't take your money. ”

"No, I mean, if you count the food and accommodation expenses, as well as my service fee, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for this song. Liu Yi folded his fingers and pretended to be serious.

Liu Pianwaner: "Then I'll write it to you later." ”

Liu Yi smiled, "Then it's decided, don't rely on the account when the time comes." ”

"Hmph, don't forget to ask me for a dragon health care. ”

"I can't forget, I can't forget. ”

Seeing Liu Pian walking farther and farther away and disappearing at the airport, Liu Yi opened the song in his hand.

""Lingering Game"?" Liu Yi saw the name and muttered, "What song is this?"

Look at the lyrics again:

"After the lingering game

Why can you be willing to let go?

Is it the law or the love is not enough

Tell me after this lingering game

Why can't it be permanent?

It's the fact that there is no true love

Or I don't see through it...."

Liu Yi held the song, leaned on his cool sports car, and stood alone outside the airport. After reading it softly a few times, he suddenly laughed at himself:

"This guy..."

"It's like I'm playing a game..."

"It's still a lingering game. ”

Neatly folded the lyrics and carefully put them in his pocket, Liu Yi turned around and got into the car and walked away.....
