"Dad, these are from Columbia Records, sir, these two, the man is my father, and the woman is my mother." Lin Yu introduced his parents.
"Hello, my name is Steve, and I was sent by Columbia Records to talk to Mr. Lin Yu about the copyright of those works. Please forgive me for any interruptions. Steve, the middle-aged man who just spoke, said. And took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hold Lin Jianguo tightly. Before coming, Steve already knew that this family had immigrated from Chinese mainland, and he was not very clear about Chinese customs, and after asking some Chinese for advice, he knew that the first time Chinese met and greeted each other, they just shook hands and said polite words. I didn't need the kind of hug from Westerners, although I felt weird, I still held Lin Jianguo's hand tightly.
Lin Jianguo was very embarrassed by this enthusiastic American for a while, but he didn't break away, he also held Steve's hand tightly, and smiled, trying to make the other party feel that he was very happy about the other party's arrival.
You must know that the person in front of you is a senior executive in Columbia Records, although he doesn't know the specific position of the other party for the time being, but I believe it will not be too low. For Lin Jianguo, although the other party is not superior, it is not comparable to himself, because it not only represents the identity, but also represents the strength of the other party.
Steve may have also seen Lin Jianguo's embarrassment, and he was also quite embarrassed in his heart, and then shook hands with Li Yuehua and Lin Yu, and then went directly to the topic: "Dear Lin, the company sent me mainly to discuss the copyright issues of these songs with Lin. Our company is willing to buy the rights to these songs for $10,000 per song. What do you think, dear Lin? ”
Steve's offer is not low, not to mention that for a lyricist and composer who is not the slightest bit famous, $50,000 is already a very good price. If he didn't know the value of these songs, Lin Yu would definitely agree without hesitation, he knew that the value that these songs could create was thousands or even ten thousand times the price, and if he sold them for 50,000 US dollars, he would have come back for nothing.
Lin Yu was not satisfied with this price, but the father and mother of Lin, who were sitting next to him and listening, were already surprised, they didn't expect that a few songs written by their son could be sold at this price, although 50,000 US dollars is nothing for the two, but their son can earn so much money at such a young age, which still makes the two of them surprised, and the bigger thing is that they are relieved and happy, even happier than they earned.
Just when Lin's father and Lin's mother were thinking nonsense, Lin Yu spoke: "Sir, this price of your company makes me feel that you are very insincere. The value of my songs does not need to be said to you, you should also be clear, to exaggerate, each of my songs is enough to attract the attention of the whole world, each song is enough to lead the music fashion, I believe your company should understand the importance of these songs to Columbia Records. ”
Lin Yu talked boastfully there, but Lin Jianguo and Li Yuehua were a little dumbfounded, 50,000 US dollars was too little, they thought the other party was not sincere, and said that every song could lead the world music fashion. Is this still the son in the memories of the two? How it feels like a different person. No matter how they thought about it, they would never have imagined that the soul of their son would be the soul of a person in the 21st century.
No matter what the two were thinking at this time, Steve, who was sitting opposite Lin Yu, looked at the boastful teenager in front of him with some surprise, not because the other party said it was wrong, the entire company's senior management understood the value of these songs, if the value was alone, the company would pay attention to it, but it would not pay attention to this point, the company was interested in the impact of these songs, which was enough to make the entire Columbia Records company create brilliance again. He was surprised that the young man in front of him could say such a thing, you must know that he should be less than 16 years old, strictly speaking, he should be underage, and he can actually have such knowledge, which has to be amazing.
"Dear Lin, we also know the value of these songs, but the value of the songs is not only to consider these, but also to consider the origin of these songs, and also to consider the level of the singer." Steve said helplessly.
"Sir, you don't have to think about all this, I believe that a creator who is still under the age is enough to attract people's attention. As for the singer, hehe. Lin Yu didn't say the rest of the words, and he still had to think about it, of course it was Jackson. But I can't say it at this time.
As soon as Steve heard this, he knew that the teenager in front of him should have a suitable candidate in his heart, and the teenager creator he said was enough to attract the attention of the entire American. You know, prodigies are always going to get attention.
"Well, dear Lin, we're willing to double the price. The price of $20,000 per song is enough to show their value. Steve spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Deal, sir." As soon as he heard this price, Lin Yu agreed to Steve without thinking about it, not that he didn't want to raise the price, but that he urgently needed a sum of money now, and 100,000 US dollars was enough.
Steve didn't expect Lin Yu to agree like this, his head was a little unturned, and he thought that the young man in front of him would once again convince himself to increase the price again.
Now that the price has been finalized, the conversation between several people began to turn to some light topics, chatting and chatting, they talked about their understanding of music, Lin Jianguo and Li Yuehua didn't know much about these, but Lin Yu inadvertently revealed some novel views, which opened Steve's eyes, after a conversation, Steve felt that it was necessary for him and the company to reacquaint himself with the young man in front of him, although he was a little too young.
"Dear Lin, forgive me for being abrupt, are you really only 15 years old?" Steve looked at the young Chinese teenager in front of him quietly, and asked with some disbelief.
"Yes, sir. I just got into a high school in Los Angeles today. I'm sure I'll be in that school soon. Lin Yu said with a smile.
Speaking of high school, he still has a yearning look on his face.
"It seems that your usual experience must be very distinctive!" Steve asked, curious.
"Well, yes, I did experience some very interesting and characteristic things, and those things deeply infected my heart, so these songs appeared."
"Oh, can you be specific?" Lin Yu's words successfully aroused Steve's interest.
"Sir, you should know that there will inevitably be some conflicts between two people together, especially young people, so there are always some quarrels in our school, and what I like to do is watch them argue, I think this is very interesting, once, two of my classmates had an argument, and just when one of them was about to do something, the other person suddenly sat down, and then when I went to ask him why he did that, he said to me, 'We are good friends, and I know his temper, In that case, why should I add fuel to the fire, I could have avoided him altogether and talked to him when he calmed down. It's not cowardice, I just don't want to lose a good friend. His words made me think for a long time. There are a lot of thought-provoking things like this, you know, music is everywhere, and that's why I wrote these songs. Lin Yu said nonsense.
"Music is everywhere?" Unexpectedly, this passage made Steve stunned: "This sentence is the most interesting answer I have heard." Dear Lin, since you have created these songs, I believe that there must be the most suitable person in your heart to sing these songs! ”
"Sir, I had already thought of their masters when I wrote these songs." Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Who?" Steve stared at Lin Yu and asked.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, watching Steve spit out a name.
"Michael Jackson."
