Chapter 20: A Changed Destiny

Yang Chengang is a native of HB Wuhan, he became obsessed with the guitar in high school, joined the guitar workshop, and began to perform in major universities and discotheques in Wuhan during his studies at Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics, and also formed a rock band with his friends and served as the guitarist of the band. The pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info is also well-known in the local area.

It's a pity that fame can't be eaten, after graduating from college, performing in rock bands, and turning his hobby into a career to make a living, Yang Chen just found that life was difficult, and in desperation, a friend introduced him to work as a pianist and keyboardist on a cruise ship of an overseas travel company.

But he felt that this was not the life he wanted.

Just after running a trip to Jeju Island in South Korea and returning to Wuhan, Yang Chengang suddenly got a little tired of the days of drifting at sea, he thought, is it better to find a job like a music training teacher and settle down?

On this day, he was staying at home, and Yang Chengang suddenly received a call from Dong Ge, the owner of the largest disco "Night Cat" in Wuhan, who had performed.

Hurriedly picked it up, "Hey, Brother Dong, hello! I'm Xiaogang." ”

"Xiao Gang, are you kid in Wuhan? Come to me if you are here, there is a good thing!" Dong Ge said with a smile on the phone.

Yang Chengang agreed repeatedly, saying that he would go over as soon as possible, and put down the phone before remembering that he didn't ask anything.

But what kind of character is Brother Dong, it shouldn't be bad to say that it's a good thing!

Yang Chen just cleaned up and hurried out.

The "night cats" during the day are not open, and the doors are crowded.

Yang Chen just knew that Brother Dong was usually in the office on the third floor when he was fine, so he walked up and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!"

Yang Chen just pushed the door and went in, and saw Brother Dong and a young man sitting on the sofa talking.

When Brother Dong saw him come in, he beckoned with a smile on his face: "Come, Xiaogang, let me introduce you, this Mr. Zhang came from BJ and wanted to buy songs from you, and he came to me, haha." ”

Dong Ge was also the first batch of bands in Wuhan in the early years, but unfortunately it has not become popular, and later opened a disco, I still have a music dream in my heart, and I heard that someone asked Yang Chen to buy a song, so he was enthusiastic to help introduce him.

Yang Chengang looked dazed, stepped forward to shake hands with the man, and asked suspiciously, "Buy a song?

The young man handed over a business card and said with a smile: "You are Mr. Yang Chengang, it is really not easy to find you...... , I am Zhang Zhijiao, the marketing director of BJ Fengxing Technology Co., Ltd., our company is about to launch a music website, I love music network, I hope to buy some songs to fill the music library, from some channel recommendations, you have created a song called mouse loves rice, right?"

Yang Chengang nodded in surprise: "Mice love rice?...... I have a song called "Love You Like This", but there are lyrics in it that rats love rice, not many people have heard it, who did you listen to recommend it?"

Zhang Zhijiao smiled, did not answer his question, and continued to ask: "It is convenient to ask, is this song "Love You Like This", that is, "Mice Love Rice", created by you independently? Do you own all the lyrics and music copyrights of it?"

Yang Chengang nodded and said, "The lyrics and songs are all written by me." ”

Zhang Zhijiao nodded and asked, "Then there is no problem, our company is very interested in this song, I don't know if Mr. Yang is willing to sell the copyright of this song?"

Yang Chen just hesitated, after all, it was a song he wrote, and he was a little reluctant to sell it.

But then again, he's written a lot of songs over the years, but what's the use? He needs life now, he needs money.

"Yes,...... How much do you pay for it?"

"That's right, now the market price of copyright purchase ranges from 1-30,000 yuan, and the copyright of a song by a well-known creator is about 50,000 yuan, and our company is willing to pay 30,000 yuan to buy the copyright of this song "Love You Like This", also known as "Mice Love Rice", at the highest price for newcomers. Zhang Zhijiao said with a smile.

Yang Chengang's heart beat violently, there were also people who asked him to buy a song at the beginning, but a song is 1,000 or 2,000, this BJ company is heroic!

Seeing that Brother Dong, who was sitting next to him and listening, kept nodding to him, this is a good price, hurry up and agree.

Yang Chen just gritted his teeth, and when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt ruthless in his heart, and said: "If you can get 50,000, I will buy this song for you." ”

Brother Dong is angry, this kid TMD saw that Qian opened his eyes, and the lion opened his mouth, it seems that this matter is going to be yellow.

Zhang Zhijiao's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded: "That's it...... Wait a minute, I'll call and ask for instructions. "I got up and took out my phone and walked outside the door.

Lin Feng gave him less than 100,000 yuan, but Zhang Zhijiao couldn't agree immediately, it seemed that the price could be easily accepted, and it was too eager to make the other party raise the price again.

After waiting for ten minutes, he walked back to the office and said to Yang Chengang: "Yes, it's 50,000." ”

When the two parties signed the contract, Zhang Zhijiao remembered Lin Feng's instructions when he came, and specifically emphasized: "Mr. Yang, I want to remind you that this time we signed the entire copyright of the song, that is, you can't use this song for any profit-making behavior in the future, especially not to sublicense the copyright again." Our contract is drawn up by BJ's most professional lawyers, and the breach of contract clause is very serious, and I hope you will pay attention to it. ”

Lin Feng remembered that this song had been authorized many times because of Yang Chengang's weak legal awareness, and "one daughter and four marriages", which caused a big copyright dispute, and specially reminded Zhang Zhijiao to pay attention to emphasizing this point.

Yang Chengang had already been stunned by the figure of 50,000, and nodded busily in agreement.

It's just that the moment of signing, there is an inexplicable sense of loss that flashes.

He didn't know that at this moment, his future fate had changed, and he would not become popular because of this song, but with the money from selling songs, his life was guaranteed, and he might be able to create more songs.

In any case, the copyright of "Mice Love Rice" was successfully obtained.

……

On the side of "Two Butterflies", it didn't go so well.

Birdman Art was founded by the famous senior musician and producer Zhou Yaping, who produced music albums including Liu Huan, Tian Zhen, Mao Amin and other first-line singers at that time from the early eighties of the last century, and single-handedly excavated and popularized many singers such as Hanxiao, Dai Rao, Li Chen, Yi Ren Manufacturing, etc., and was the top godfather-level music producer in China at that time.

He is known for his precise and unique vision, as well as his vision.

It was not easy to buy "Two Butterflies" from him.

After communicating with the relevant departments of Birdman Art, the feedback reported to Lin Feng was: "The boss of the other party wants to meet you in person. ”

Lin Feng's heart moved after hearing this.

It seems that it is not as simple as just talking about buying a song, so after looking for a day to make an appointment, Lin Feng came to visit.

Birdman Art is near Huixin Bridge in the North Fourth Ring Road, and when Lin Feng arrived, Zhou Yaping personally greeted him at the door, which made Lin Feng a little surprised by his enthusiasm and a little flattered, after all, the other party was about the same age as his father.

Zhou Yaping took Lin Feng to visit the company first, among them, the digital recording studio of more than 200 square meters, with the top recording equipment at that time, left a deep impression on Lin Feng.

When he came to the chairman's office, Zhou Yaping personally made tea, and the two sat opposite each other to drink tea.

"Mr. Lin, it may be a little strange, I must meet you to talk. Zhou Yaping said with a smile.

"Dong Zhou, you are too polite, you are a senior, just call me Xiaolin. Actually, I should have come to see you earlier. Lin Feng's attitude is also very humble.

"Then I'm welcome, Xiaolin, I won't tell you, I've been hearing your name lately! Some time ago, I noticed some interesting ringtones, which made people understand, and I heard about your Menglong Technology for the first time, and as a result, friends in the circle gathered in the past two days, and they all said that there was a company that inquired about buying digital rights to music when they were talking about buying digital rights to music, and it was also your company, so I have been friends with you for a long time, hehe, and the future is terrifying. ”

Lin Feng then understood, and couldn't help but admire the old musician's keen business sense, no wonder he was deeply involved in wireless music singers later, and made a lot of money with the launch of Pang Long, "Two Butterflies", "You Are My Rose" and so on.

"I invite you to come today to talk about it and see if our two companies can cooperate. Zhou Yaping got straight to the point.

Zhou Yaping is indeed aware of the inadvertent changes in some industries, and sees the changes that the Internet and wireless may bring.

This feeling was even stronger when he bought a new Siemens mobile phone and found that he could listen to MP3 songs on his phone.

The funny ringtones promoted by Menglong Technology in the BJ area can already realize vocal ringtones, which also means that they can be realized, music MP3 ringtones. Zhou Yaping feels that this will be a new change to the music industry.

He happened to hear rumors in the industry that this company was about to launch a music website and buy digital rights all over the world, and he was moved.

Birdman Art can reach a cooperation with this company to bring the songs in the music library to the mobile phone through wireless channels, which is a new channel and a new revenue point.

Therefore, as soon as the people below reported, Zhou Yaping decided to take this opportunity to talk to Lin Feng.

Of course, Lin Feng has no problem, anyway, he has to buy the digital rights of many songs to fill the music library.

It's just that "Two Butterflies" doesn't just have to buy digital copyrights, in order to prevent trouble later, Lin Feng must buy all the copyrights.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng smiled: "Dong Zhou, thank you for your trust in our company, I also admire you very much, to be honest, you also know that I am preparing to build a music website, and I will be regarded as half of the music industry in the future, and I will rely on you for more support in the future." …… I think it's okay for Birdman Art and Fengxing Technology to reach a strategic partnership, our music website, as well as our brother company Menglong Technology, can put some of the songs promoted by Birdman Art in the key recommended position, and in the wireless field, you can also give the best to Birdman, how about it?"

"Haha, okay, of course this is great!" Zhou Yaping wanted this.

"However, I have a small request, to tell you the truth, I have a good brother, just came from Lanzhou, he has a very dream of music, and he also has a good voice, but his appearance may not be in line with the orientation of the current pop music scene, so I want to collect some good songs and help him. I heard from a friend, Niu Chaoyang in your company once wrote a song called "Two Butterflies", my brother likes it very much, I want to buy the copyright of this song for him to sing, you see ?......"

Zhou Yaping laughed and said: "This is a small matter, you have spoken, it is not a matter of one sentence......."

In fact, after he got the news, he asked Niu Chaoyang to take the score of "Two Butterflies" and read it as soon as possible, it is indeed a good song. But Zhou Yaping is not Lin Feng, he didn't know that this song would later become a popular song that swept the country. This kind of thing, even the most professional musicians dare not guarantee the ticket. To put it bluntly, no one has a back eye, rebirth is not a simple skill, and each parallel plane has a protagonist .......

So in Zhou Yaping's eyes at this time, the two butterflies are a good song, that's all.

Compared with the overall cooperation between Birdman Company and Fengxing Technology, it is a small thing.

Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The main purpose has been achieved! The copyright of "Two Butterflies" is in hand!

Next, the two drank tea and chatted, and talked happily.

Not far from the wall, Pang Long, a contracted artist of Birdman, has just released his first album, and he has performed everywhere throughout the year, which is the time to be full of ambition, but he doesn't know that at this time, his later real famous songs have flown away like butterflies.

However, with his creative talent, "Home in the Northeast", "You Are My Rose", "School Flower" ...... , it is gold that will always shine, and sooner or later it will always be on fire.

…………

won the two most important songs, Lin Feng has a big heart.

After this year, Liu Kailai waited for the song to become popular with "The First Snow in 2002", the CRBT business was launched, and digital music officially broke out and was launched again.

Good songs, push them one by one according to the rhythm, so that there will be no situation where you hit yourself.

At this point, the preliminary layout of the music website has come to an end.
