Chapter 6 I have never seen the world
Li Dong saw the girl and walked over with a smile, but his eyes were immediately attracted by the luxurious and dazzling coupe, which was so cool.
This car he really knew, it was one of the models of the "Jazz" series and one of the most high-end car brands in the empire.
The cheapest entry-level model costs more than one million, and the price of this coupe will probably double or two, which is definitely a luxury.
Seeing that Li Dong was attracted by his car, Su Xueqiao was angry, such a big beauty as himself was standing here, and this hillbilly didn't see it, he was really blind.
She regretted it very much, she had driven an ordinary car if she had known about it.
"Hmmm......"
Su Xueqiao hummed deliberately, which made Li Dong come back to his senses.
As soon as he turned around, Su Xueqiao hurriedly stood up straight, looking at Li Dong with cold eyes, but at this moment, the other party's phone rang.
Li Dong waved his hand at Su Xueqiao, signaled to answer the phone first, and then picked up the phone and chatted.
It was He Guangwei who called, informing him that there was a singer in the night show tonight who suddenly had something to do, and asked him if he could get off the stage, three songs for 300 yuan.
Of course Li Dong was willing, and he was also deeply grateful for He Guangwei's care, so he greeted the other party.
He couldn't finish chatting for a while, and he also realized that there was someone waiting for him next to him, so Li Dong made a gesture of rubbing his hands at Su Xueqiao next to him while making a phone call, which meant to give money quickly.
Seeing Li Dong's movements, Su Xueqiao was angry in her heart, she took out a hundred-yuan dragon coin with a gloomy face, and slammed it on Li Dong's hand.
Li Dong took the money, waved his hand at Su Xueqiao, and then ignored her and walked directly to the dilapidated building where he lived.
Su Xueqiao gritted her teeth and looked at Li Dong, thinking hatefully: What a hillbilly, looking like he has never seen the world.
Li Dong ignored her, of course she couldn't just leave.
Su Xueqiao got into the car in shame, looked at Li Dong hatefully through the glass window, then stepped on the accelerator sharply, and drove away with a roar.
She drove not far from the community, parked the car on the side of the road, and then slapped the steering wheel a few times.
"Ah...... Yes...... Yokel...... I'm......"
Li Dong put down the phone, very excited.
Tonight, I can earn 300 yuan for others, and I got 50 yuan in the girl's hand just now, so the speed of making money is not slow.
In the afternoon, the music theme of the mandala was clear, and the number of people increased significantly, and those girls from yesterday not only came again, but also brought some girlfriends and boyfriends, and the number of people suddenly more than doubled.
Li Dong's performance was still very successful, and although he didn't sing a new song, he still fascinated the afternoon customers.
The performance in the evening was also very exciting, singing the same two songs, not only received 300 yuan, but also a few customers rewarded him with a few high-end drinks, deducting the income from the bar, and earned an additional more than 200 yuan.
Li Dong gained a very generous harvest today, he got fifty yuan from Su Xueqiao, five hundred for singing in Qingba, and more than two hundred in rewards, totaling nearly eight hundred dragon coins.
When he got the money, he counted it several times, and he was very excited, and he was about to earn a thousand yuan, as if he had never seen the world.
After Li Dong finished singing the night show, he went to a nearby Internet café, and after some choice, he finally chose the song "Pain That Can Breathe".
The song was written by Yao Ruolong and composed by Yu Heng, and was included in Liang Jingru's album "Worship" released in November 2007.
The reason why this song was chosen is because this song is indeed the best work in the pop music of the previous life, this song is also a healing song, the audience is very wide, no matter in that era, love is the most important theme of pop music.
Especially the sentence "Missing is a pain that breathes, it lives in all corners of my body", I don't know how many people touched it back then, and they also felt it.
And the Chinese Empire also has the "Tokyo Tower" in the lyrics, located in the center of Pujiang City, the eastern capital of the empire, on the edge of the Pujiang River, is a landmark building in the city, many young lovers are willing to travel there together, is a famous love holy land.
He is still very attentive to the test of the waters in this world, and wants to make a good start in this world and sell this song as soon as possible.
After determining the song, Li Dong quickly registered the copyright of the song, and submitted multiple drafts of the song to the mailboxes of several large companies.
When he finished submitting the manuscript, the whole person collapsed all of a sudden, and finally completed a big thing, and then waited with peace of mind.
Through the continuous listening to the song in the past two days, Li Dong believes that the level of this song, even in the rankings of major websites, is also a mid-to-upper work, with great potential.
In the next three days, Li Dong spent the next three days in anticipation, listening to songs in Internet cafes during the day, studying various genres of the world, and looking for songs suitable for the world among the many classics in his previous life, and then sending them to the mailbox of the Copyright Office.
There is also to open your mailbox again and again, and constantly check to see if you have received replies from several companies.
Every afternoon, I go to the mandala music-themed Qing Bar to sing, and now because of Li Dong, the number of customers in the Qing Bar in the afternoon continues to rise, and it can reach nearly half of the attendance rate almost every day, which is quite good at this time.
Lee Dong has never released a new song, and every day he sings two old songs and another popular song from this world, which is deeply loved by Qing Bar customers.
On the evening of the third day, Li Dong opened the mailbox again, and finally found a few more emails, all of which were replies from various companies.
Nervously, he opened an email and found such a reply.
"Hello, your work has been reviewed by the company's resources department, and the work has not yet reached the acquisition standard, I hope you can continue to work hard and publish new works, thank you for your support and trust in our company, thank you!"
Li Dong opened several other emails one after another, and the replies he received were all the same, which also made him very disappointed.
He was not reconciled, so he found some relatively small companies, and in line with the principle of casting a wide net, he invested in more than a dozen companies one after another.
Three days later, most of the replies wanted to buy, but the price given was ridiculously low, the highest was only 10,000 yuan, and it was a full copyright acquisition. There are even a few companies that want to sign Li Dong as a full-time songwriter for their company.
With such a low purchase price, it is still a full copyright acquisition, and it is impossible for Li Dong to agree. As for joining these companies, he will not consider it.
The Imperial Copyright Law stipulates that copyright owners can enjoy a certain amount of dividends in accordance with the agreement signed by both parties in the next few years, and the standard of dividends is very clear according to the level of the author, and the entire industry follows this principle.
was hit by refusal to buy one after another, or malicious price reduction, which also made Li Dong finally understand the mystery.
The root cause is that he is a newcomer with no industry level, and at least he has to mix with fifth-tier creators, so that the dilemma he faces can be changed.
Those big companies may not even look at the submissions of newcomers like him, and throw them in the trash. After all, they first want the works of first- and second-tier authors with a high level of creativity.
Thinking about this, Li Dong simply stopped thinking about selling songs, rather than selling them to those small companies, it was better to find a recording studio to produce them himself, and publish them on the Internet as an independent musician.
With such a good quality song, he doesn't believe that it will be buried forever, and gold will shine one day sooner or later.
The next day, after Li Dong finished singing at the Qing Bar in the afternoon, he found He Guangwei and asked him about the recording studio.
He Guangwei is more familiar with this aspect of things, and he also contacted a more professional place for him. It is very close to Li Dong's rental house, and the owner there has a good relationship with him as a college classmate.
Li Dong went directly to the recording studio in the evening, and a middle-aged man of the same age as He Guangwei received Li Dong.
His name is Li Guangnan, and compared with the elegant He Guangyuan, Li Guangnan looks very rugged, with long hair with an artistic shawl and a thick beard. And he was born very tall and strong, and his voice was also urn-like.
Maybe it's because Li Dong is too young, Li Guangnan is not very enthusiastic.
"Lao He told me, you show me the song. ”
Li Dong handed over the prepared song to Li Guangnan, and the other party took it and half lay on the sofa and looked at it casually.
But after only a few glances, he sat up straight, looked at the song seriously, and kept humming in his mouth, looking quite excited.
"Brother, this song is good, it's much better than the broken songs I wrote......"
After he finished speaking, he continued to watch for a while, and then said with a smile: "Brother, you were introduced by Lao He, and I won't see you outside, this song is really good, but if you post the song on the Internet as an independent musician, the results will definitely not be ideal, such a good song, it's a pity......
Listen to my brother's words, take this song to find a reliable company to sign a contract, you have a good appearance, you can also write your own songs, if the negotiation goes well, maybe you can mix with the A-level signing, you are so young and can afford it, fight for ten or eight years, if you are lucky, you may be able to fight the second and third lines, then you don't have to worry about it in this life. ”
Although Li Dong doesn't know the entertainment companies in this world, he had been in this industry in his previous life, and he could hear that what Li Guangnan said could be regarded as heart-wrenching words, and it was definitely for his good.
"Brother Li, I still want to post it on the Internet and give it a try. ”
Li Guangnan listened to Li Dong's words, nodded understandingly, and said with great emotion: "Yes, if you don't try, how can you be willing in this life." I wasn't the one in the first place. ”
When he said this, he thought for a while and said, "Then go and try it, anyway, it won't delay you to find a company to sign a contract in the future." I will definitely help you do the song well, and I will charge you 800 yuan according to the basic standard. ”
"Brother Li, thank you so much......"
Li Guangnan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome, Lao He and I are buddies, and it is rare for him to introduce people over." Brother, in addition to this one, is there a relatively niche and distinctive song, your current song, although it is good, but this song is too mainstream, once it is posted on the Internet, it will definitely be submerged in countless new songs in an instant, and you have no company to promote, it is estimated that you will not even see the film.
Niche songs are different, although the audience is small, there are few songs, and there are even fewer good songs. People who like niches don't look at the messy broken songs on the charts at all, they like to find them on the Internet themselves, so independent musicians generally sing rock, jazz and folk songs, although they don't make much money, but as long as the songs are good, they will become famous in the circle quickly. ”
