Chapter 095: Closing the Book
Liu Yicheng has not made any achievements in the profession of music producer, he just opened a small studio by himself, because he is a little related to a deputy director of Anwei TV station, and can often take some arrangers and soundtracks from the TV station. Over time, it also allowed him to pull out a network of relationships in Hehuai City.
This time, the Municipal Tourism Bureau and the Heqi Evening News jointly hosted the Lobster Festival, and invited him to serve as the judge of the theme song.
When picking up the two songs written by Zhang Tan, "Spicy Crayfish" and "The Stone of Hexi", Liu Yicheng habitually read the score first, and hummed it silently in his heart.
"Dangdang, dangdang, dangdangdang, dangdang......"
He hummed the song "Spicy Crayfish", and after humming it again, he knew it in his heart: "The song is good, the arrangement is a little new, catchy, and a little flavorful." See how well the lyrics are written. ”
After reading the lyrics, Liu Yicheng nodded first: "Crayfish, spicy crayfish, using crayfish as a metaphor for love, it's very interesting, and it's very appropriate for the lobster festival." ”
Then he sighed and shook his head: "However, the overall feeling is a little worse, writing about love is better than writing about the Lobster Festival, using love songs to promote the Lobster Festival, I don't know if the organizer can nod." ”
Thinking about it, Liu Yicheng put this score alone on the left side of the table. There are only a few songs here, all of which are songs that Liu Yicheng feels okay. Putting aside this score, Liu Yicheng continued to look at "The Stone of Hexi", the same as humming the tune first, looking for feelings and tastes.
After humming again, his eyes suddenly lit up: "The style is good and punctual, a touch of gentleness, refreshing." ”
I couldn't wait to start reading the lyrics immediately: "Three filial piety, four archways...... This is the symbol of Hexi, and it is written around you, which feels very novel...... I'll sing and try. ”
After all, Liu Yicheng is a music producer, has a certain level of singing, and sings with his voice open against the score.
The singing seems to be good, and the voice is quite good.
After singing the song, Liu Yicheng became excited, swaying through the score, and couldn't put it down: "Okay, if this song is sung, it will have too much flavor." "The Stone of Hexi", well, the title of the song is also very textured, Hehuai people, in this society, are like a stone, the promise remains the same? ”
sighed for a while, Liu Yicheng grabbed the score of "Spicy Crayfish" again, and compared the two.
"These two songs are the biggest gain I have gained from reading the submissions in the past few days, which are obviously a notch higher than other submissions. This songwriter Zhang Tan is a talent, the music is good, the lyrics are good, just with these two songs, it is worth me to pull him into my studio. ”
With Zhang Tan's contribution songs, Liu Yicheng looked at the submissions later, and only felt that they were all boring.
Adhering to his professionalism, he still browsed all the submitted songs, and then sorted out the selected songs and reported them to the organizer.
……
Zhang Tan didn't know what Liu Yicheng said about him, but he was very confident, and sooner or later the organizing committee of the Lobster Festival would call.
However, the call from the organizing committee did not wait, but waited for the news from Taiwan.
The general manager of Xian Xian Culture contacted Zhang Tan and prepared to send someone to the mainland to settle the manuscript fee for the traditional Chinese version of "The Four Famous Catches the Kanto", and at the same time wanted to continue to cooperate with Zhang Tan to publish "The Four Famous Catchers in Beijing". With the success of "Earthquake Kanto" in front, the other party's expectations for "Huijing Division" are even greater.
Because "Huijing Shi" is still serialized, the publication needs to involve the serialization progress of the magazine, and the ancient legend magazine also has to participate in the discussion. Moreover, Xian Xian Culture and the Ancient Legend Magazine itself also have something to discuss, so the meeting place is set at Wu Khan, and the three parties meet in Wu Khan.
On April 20, Zhang Tan asked for leave again and prepared to go to Wu Khan.
Originally, he planned to go alone, but who knew that Tan Mingxia just called, and Zhang Tan accidentally said that he leaked. As a result, Tan Mingxia resolutely disagreed with Zhang Tan to go to Wu Khan alone, worried about Zhang Tan's safety and worried about the manuscript fee of more than 100,000 yuan. Immediately, Zhang Quanshun was sent to Heqi and went to Wu Khan with Zhang Tan.
With his father, freedom must be restricted, Zhang Tan helplessly asked: "Aren't you busy at home?" Don't you want people to watch the Internet café? Dad went to Wu Khan, Mom, are you busy alone? ”
Tan Mingxia said arrogantly: "The Internet café has invited three network managers, and I can't make a mistake with me staring at the account." ”
"What's that...... Wu Khan plane tickets are quite expensive. ”
"Let's take the train."
In the end, Zhang Tan failed to beat Tan Mingxia, and obediently went to discuss travel precautions with Zhang Quanshun.
A day later, the father and son arrived at Wu Khan.
met the editor-in-chief Wang Conglun, and the person in charge of Xianxian Culture, Chen Xianmin. After shaking hands, in Wang Conglun's office, they began to chat.
With Zhang Quanshun here, Zhang Tan is not easy to assert himself, so he simply let Zhang Quanshun talk about things, and he plays soy sauce. It's boring not to speak, so I took a manuscript from Wang Conglun's desk and prepared to take a look: "Lao Wang, these are all the submission letters sent over?" ”
Wang Conglun pushed a bunch of manuscripts in front of Zhang Tan: "Yes, they were sent from all over the country, and the editors at the bottom screened them once, and I have to review them again." If you're interested, help me look at these drafts, if there's anything you like? ”
"It's boring anyway, I'll take a look first."
For Zhang Tan, Wang Conglun was not very polite, and Zhang Tan did not be polite to Wang Conglun.
He is already the heavyweight author of "Ancient Legends and Martial Arts Edition", since the trial issue of "Martial Arts Edition", no one has fallen, and now "Martial Arts Edition" has been published for 6 issues, and the circulation has been rising, and Zhang Tan has made great contributions. A large number of readers of the magazine are chasing his four famous catches.
can be called the number one warrior in the world in the "Martial Arts Version".
It's not trivial to look at the manuscript.
At the moment, Zhang Tan listened attentively to the conversation while quickly flipping through the submission letter.
His reading speed has been bombarded by the era of online texts, not only can he see ten lines at a glance, but he can also roughly remember what he has just read, so that he will not forget it after reading it before.
The manuscript in the cover letter is uneven in quality, but it may have been screened by the editor, and the rest of the writing is okay, but in terms of story content, it is not satisfactory.
There aren't too many stories to eye-pop.
It's barely okay, it's a submission letter signed "Xiao Fu", and it's a "Red Face and Troubled Water", and the writing and story are a bit old-fashioned.
In addition, there are no other articles that allow Zhang Tan to continue reading.
……
During the period when Zhang Tan was reading the manuscript, Zhang Quanshun had already handed over the payment of "The Four Famous Capture of Kanto" with Chen Xianmin.
A total of 32,000 copies of "The Four Famous Capture of the Kanto" were printed in three editions, and a total of 125,800 yuan after tax was paid according to the provisions of the contract.
Originally, his royalties should have been a little more than 130,000, but this involved a problem of yards and real oceans. The yard is the price of the book, but when the book is sold to the end, a certain amount of discount will be taken, and the discounted book price is the real ocean. The remuneration received by the author is generally a combination of yard and real payment.
The previous contract signed with Xianxian Culture is 13% of the total sales, which includes the total price of the yard and the real ocean, in other words, how much money is sold for the book, Zhang Tan will share the money from the money from the sale of the book, without considering the cost and profit.
The publishing contract only involves real and yard yang, which is beneficial to the author, because if you only count the sales, you don't have to intrigue with the publishing house.
Otherwise, the publishing house will make false accounts on profits, and the author will be killed.
So.
After happily handing over the manuscript fee with Xianxian Culture, the publication contract of "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi" was negotiated more smoothly.
