Chapter 292: Two New Songs
Zheng Xudong came to Liu Yifei's newly renovated studio for him, the studio is a bit like a recording studio, just using the corner of the attic without windows to close a space, and the interior is made of sky blue soft packaging to play a soundproof effect.
Zheng Xudong sat in front of the ROLAND electronic piano, Liu Yifei sat next to him and looked at the lyrics and songs written by his hand on A4 paper, because the whole lyrics and songs were recorded in Zheng Xudong's heart, so he didn't watch it and played the song "ALONE" directly, with his current piano level, he didn't need to try to play at all, he hummed its lyrics while playing (it is highly recommended to listen and watch at the same time, special feeling):
Lost in your mind
Lost in the depths of your heart
I wanna know
I want to know
Am I losing my mind
Whether I've lost my mind
Never let me go
Don't let me go
If this night is not forever
If tonight is not forever
At least we are together
At least you and I have you and me with you
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Anywhere whenever
Anytime, anywhere
Apart but still together
Even at the ends of the world, we are still together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Unconscious mind
Unconscious mind
I'm wide awake
I'm fully awake
Wanna feel one last time
I just want to feel it one last time
Take my pain away
Soothe all my wounds
If this night is not forever
If tonight is not forever
At least we are together
At least we can be together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Anywhere whenever
Anytime, anywhere
Apart but still together
Even at the ends of the world, we are still together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Zheng Xudong deliberately sang it in a relatively low voice, Liu Yifei listened to him sing while looking at the song score, and after listening to it, her eyes turned red, and she came to Zheng Xudong and lay on his back, "This song is very sad!" After speaking, she brought the score to him, pointed to the top and said: "These five places are different from you." β
Zheng Xudong saw her snow-white pink arm in front of his eyes, turned his head and kissed it on it, only then did he look at the place of her fingers, sure enough, these places really needed to be modified, he took out a pencil from the table next to him and changed it on it, and after the modification, he handed over the score to Liu Yifei, "Go and turn on the camera, I will officially sing it, and I will hand it over to the company in the United States after recording." You help me see if there's anything wrong with it. β
Liu Yifei put the camera on the tripod and fixed it open, and then stood behind the camera.
Since he had already played it just now, this time Zheng Xudong became more proficient, and sang melodiously with the rhythm of the electronic piano. . .
This time, Zheng Xudong sang more attentively and more devotedly, and Liu Yifei's tears finally flowed down without holding back behind the camera.
After singing, Zheng Xudong stood up and took out a tissue to wipe Liu Yifei's tears away, and then looked at the effect of the camera, "It's not bad!"
SAT BACK IN FRONT OF ROLAND AND BEGAN TO PLAY THE FAMOUS SONG "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE", WHICH IS A SONG LIKE A GIRLFRIEND'S CONFESSION, THE RHYTHM OF THE SONG IS VERY BRISK, LIKE A BOY SITTING OPPOSITE THE GIRL, A LITTLE SHY, A LITTLE EMBARRASSED TO OPEN HIS MOUTH TO CONFESS TO EACH OTHER.
Oh her eyes' her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair' her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know' I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so' its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile'
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh' her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know' you know' you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile'
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile'
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you areγ
After the song was over, Liu Yifei came to him and kissed him on the face, just wanted to run but was grabbed by Zheng Xudong and put in his arms, kissed her red lips fiercely, and kissed her hand honestly from her home clothes, kneading her two xiaolongbao wantonly, and playing with the acacia beans on them with two fingers.
How could Liu Yifei stand such a pick, only a moment of effort, a murmur came from her mouth, and at the same time she also felt the heat under her little buttocks, when Zheng Xudong's hand explored downward, her hand grabbed his strange hand, broke free from his embrace, and said a little shy and embarrassed: "There is also a holiday!" Seeing the tent propped up on his big pants, his face was as red as the sunset on the horizon.
"You see that my brother is already like this, what do you say?!" Zheng Xudong said to her.
Liu Yifei squatted down with a red face and was a little ashamed, and slowly took off his big pants, and his brother jumped out of it at once, so that he couldn't hit her in the face, she slapped his brother lightly with her hand, "So naughty!" and then lowered his head and swallowed it...
Zheng Xudong put down the back of the seat, put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully experienced the feeling of entering and exiting the jade immortal in a narrow space. Liu Yifei's jerky movements made him feel a little cold and fire.
Forty minutes later, just when Liu Yifei felt that her two faces were a little numb, she felt that his younger brother stretched out to Hou's throat, and then there was a full twenty seconds of throbbing, she didn't know how much high protein she swallowed, she pinched Zheng Xudong's thigh with her hand, wiped the thick white soup from the corner of her mouth with her hand, turned her over a big health ball, and said with a red face: "You want to choke me to death!"
Throw the score at him, "A few mistakes have been picked out and marked out for you." After saying that, he opened the door of the studio and ran.
Zheng Xudong cleaned up the battlefield, tidied up his big trousers, then stood up and turned on the camera, sat in front of the piano and sang according to the changed lyrics, this time he sang very seriously, as if he was recording in a professional recording studio.
After drinking, he took out the memory card from the camera, returned to the study alone, and emailed the video and lyrics of the two songs to Andrea and Scott.
As soon as he finished sending his phone, it rang, and it was Andrea, a female goblin, who called, "You won't see it so soon!"
After the phone was answered, an excited voice came from there, "Adong, we finally started making money." The screaming sound was so suspended that it pierced Zheng Xudong's eardrum.
"Andrea, my dear, it's not like you haven't seen money, are you so excited?" Zheng Xudong said helplessly.
"You know what, can it be the same! This is our own company, and I'm going to show the people who used to look at me with colored glasses to prove that I, Andrea, got all this from strength, not my body, FUCK!" she yelled on the phone, as if she was going to shout out all the years of wrongdoing.
"How much did you make?
"OKAY, LET'S START WITH THE DOWNLOAD AND PLAYBACK FEE FOR YOUR TWO SONGS AND ONE SONG, DOWNLOAD EACH SONG ON YOUTUBE CHARGES 49 CENTS, YOUTUBE TAKES 9 CENTS, WE TAKE 40 CENTS, DO YOU KNOW THE NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS IN THE PAST FEW DAYS?" Before Zheng Xudong could speak, she said directly: "The number of downloads is more than 40 million, and it is still growing at nearly 5 million downloads every day, and we have received 16 million downloads for this alone." By the way, your Huaxia Tencent Group under your banner, QQ Music from us to authorize download and play, considering your national conditions, intellectual property protection, plus for your sake, after negotiation I only charge them 12 cents per download, but you Chinese are too scary, just one day of downloads more than 30 million, and every day is increasing at almost 10 million downloads. It's crazy. Then Zheng Xudong heard the sound of drinking something from there, and after drinking, he continued: "And your novels have also begun to sell well with the release of your two songs, and the first printing of three million copies of each novel has been sold out in the past few days, and major bookstores have lined up to buy them, and they have also called to speed up reprinting." I had two million copies of each copy printed. A hardcover of 500,000 copies was also printed. Now it is on hot sale. Do you know how much money we make selling books?"
"How much money can you make with a book?" After speaking, Zheng Xudong remembered the most profitable novel "Harry Potter" series of novels, which costs $220 for the adult hardcover version and $240 for the children's hardcover version on Amazon.com. The regular version also costs $190, which is the price of 7 copies, with an average of $25 each. You just say how much money that British female writer makes!
"How much money do you make? You're so famous now, a novel sells for $18, and after deducting printing, distribution, taxes, and so on, you make $9 per book, and $15 per hardcover. We've already made more than 60 million dollars from selling books, and that's not even counting the reprinting. Everyone thinks you might have broken the sales record for The Da Vinci Code. β
"How many copies of The Da Vinci Code have been sold?" asked Zheng Xudong curiously.
"7.5 million copies. β
"That's it, and it doesn't take a minute to break this record!" Zheng Xudong said disdainfully.
"Young Master, what do you want, 7.5 million copies are sales in the United States, and 65 million copies are sold worldwide, not counting piracy. And it's a single novel, not a series of novels. Do you still think you can break the record?"
"Oh my God, I'm less than 5 million copies right now, and the sales will be lower in the future, so it seems that it's not easy to break the record!"
"By the way, now we have been asked to translate your two novels into the languages of other countries for authorized publication, especially the novel A Song of Ice and Fire, which has been requested by more than ten countries to be translated and published. Do you want us to translate it yourself or license it to someone else? β
"My dear, we have already eaten meat, we have to leave a soup for others to drink, and it is the right way for everyone to get rich together, you find some stronger publishing houses to translate and authorize them. β
"Okay, that's what you say. Actually, I didn't expect the cultural industry to be so profitable! You should immediately write the last few parts of "A Song of Ice and Fire" now, and sell the book as soon as it becomes popular!"
"Sister, do you know how much time it takes to write a book? If you are in too much of a hurry, you will reduce the quality of the novel, and you will lose fans. Of course, Zheng Xudong can take out the other seven copies of this novel together, but how to explain it to Andrea and how to explain it to the majority of fans after taking it out. So I'd better be honest and launch a book in three or four months.
"Well, I'm in a hurry. Andrea said on the other end of the phone. "Now that the company has earned almost $100 million, the lack of money has finally passed, and I have taken a few advertisements for you here, some of which only use your image (flat photos), and some of which are not, you have to come to the scene to shoot. I'm trying to find them all together, and then I'll find you. β
"I just have one request, find some big brands, don't affect my image, don't look for those drug advertisements, it's really unclear what happened. β
"I don't need to say it, I also know that now I have a Boeing private jet, a Mercedes-Benz car, an Omega watch, Coca-Cola, a shampoo, a men's perfume, a suit... That's all for the time being, you have to understand me, there was no money in our account at that time, I really didn't have a way to accept so many advertisements, who knew you could make so much money!"
"I know, it's been so long, I've worked hard for you! I can't help you here, don't worry, I listen to you, I will shoot whatever advertisement you say I want to make. I'm your worker. β
His words made Andrea on the other side of the phone sobbed quietly, although she was holding it back, Zheng Xudong still heard it, "Honey, I'll go over and spend a few days with you this weekend, okay?"
The other end of the phone immediately stopped crying, "What you said is true, are you not lying to me?"
"Of course it's not lying to you, how can I lie to you, a domineering president! You have scheduled the commercial I want to shoot this weekend and the first few days of next week, and I will accompany you in those days. Zheng Xudong comforted her on the phone and said.
By the way, Time magazine told me that it was going to use your cover next month, and you happened to come to the United States to take the cover photo. There's also ELLE magazine to add you to this year's top 100 sexiest men in the world, a set of photos for you, and so on. And some time ago, you said that you wanted to buy the copyright of "Fast and Furious", I went to talk to Universal, and they asked for 50 million US dollars, and an IP that has been shot down costs so much, it's crazy, I didn't agree at the time, and said I wanted to come back and think about it. I just called you, what do you mean?
