Chapter 62: The Three-Day Covenant

"Director Yu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." When Nanfeng and Song Jiajia arrived at the appointment location, Director Yu Zhengsheng was already sitting there, and there was a middle-aged fat man next to him, and the two seemed to be discussing something.

"No, you arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time, I came early." Yu Zhengsheng got up and motioned for Nanfeng and the two to sit down nearby, "Let me introduce to you, this is Ji Zhongjin, who is also the producer of the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this time he heard that I came for the theme song of the movie, so he wanted to come with me to meet you." ”

"Hello Ji Producer, I'm Nanfeng, a singer under Dynasty Entertainment, and this is my agent, Miss Song Jiajia." Nanfeng politely introduced.

"The two of them are really young and promising, especially Mr. Nan, who has such a talent in music creation at a young age, which is really commendable." Ji Zhongjin smiled and complimented, "I have heard the "Sword Like a Dream" you created and sang, to be honest, this song is very good, and it is more in line with the core chivalrous culture of our movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this time we are here to discuss the possibility of cooperation. ”

"This ......" Nanfeng didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and just sat down and went straight to the point.

"Don't be surprised, Lao Ji has always been resolute in doing things, this time he heard that I wanted to use your "Sword Like a Dream" as the theme song, he immediately went to listen to your song, and then discussed it with me for a long time, and decided to come to see you in person." Director Yu smiled and explained.

"I don't know how the producers of the Dao season want to cooperate?" Nanfeng asked with a frown.

In fact, it is enough to discuss this matter Yu Zhengsheng alone, as a producer, there is no need for Ji Zhongjin to run at all, unless this producer has a strong desire to control the shooting of the movie, but Yu Zhengsheng's status in the Chinese film industry, how can he be controlled by Ji Zhongjin, there is no obvious contradiction between the two to show that this situation is not true. Then it's another situation, that is to say, Ji Zhongjin should have come to negotiate with himself on a special trip, and some very harsh conditions may appear later.

Although Nanfeng is not a person in the film and television industry, he still understands some potential rules in the film and television industry, in a crew, there must always be someone singing red face and a person singing white face, under normal circumstances, it is the director who plays the role of a good guy in the crew, and it is the producer who is the villain. Ji Zhongjin should have come to be a villain this time.

"First of all, we hope to be able to obtain the copyright of the song "Sword Like a Dream"!" Ji Zhongjin's first request made Nanfeng frown.

In fact, if this song can't become the theme song of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", then the copyright may not be worth much, but once this song becomes the theme song, as the so-called one person ascends to heaven, the value of this song will also rise geometrically. Nanfeng is naturally unwilling to hand over the copyright of this song easily and cheaply.

There must be someone in the crew who sings white face and someone who sings red face, and the same is true for artists, and this role as a bad guy is none other than an agent! Nanfeng secretly gave Song Jiajia a look, and the latter immediately understood.

"This is impossible, Mr. Ji, we will definitely not sell the copyright of the song "Sword Like a Dream", I think we are not short of this money, and even if it is sold, it must be sold to our company, there are relevant regulations within the company, so please Mr. Ji don't embarrass us!" Song Jiajia immediately retorted.

Song Jiajia is not a vase for decoration, in terms of economic value, her keen observation is even higher than that of Nanfeng, even if Nanfeng doesn't remind her, she will never agree to give away the copyright of the song so easily.

"This is our most basic condition, if we can't even reach a consensus on this point, I think it will be difficult to carry out the cooperation in the future." Ji Zhongjin's face was flat, and he had the potential to leave if you didn't sell me.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ji, it's not that we don't promise you, it's that we can't promise you at all, you also know that our Nanfeng is just a newcomer singer who has just debuted, if you dare to violate the company's rules and regulations and commit a crime, what may face the company's comprehensive ban in the future, this is what we absolutely do not want to see!" Song Jiajia did not back down.

Song Jiajia was born in a wealthy family, and she was also a figure in the student union during college, so she can be said to be well-informed, and Ji Zhongjin's uninnovative negotiation method does not have much lethality in her eyes! From the recent news and Yu Zhengsheng and Ji Zhongjin, the two absolute core figures of the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", who came thousands of miles away, I know that they must be more urgent than themselves at the moment.

"I'll contact your company directly, you can rest assured!" Ji Zhongjin said with a smile, ease the atmosphere, lest the conversation collapse, which is not good for himself.

"I hope Mr. Ji can get our company's approval, but to be honest, I'm not optimistic about Mr. Ji, do you know how valuable a song can be the theme of a movie like "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and the company will definitely not sell it." Song Jiajia also smiled, she knew that she had won in the confrontation just now.

"This point is put aside first, if it really doesn't work, I can compromise, but for the sake of the promotion of the movie, I hope that the singer of this song must be replaced by a first-line singer, Mr. Nanfeng's current popularity does not substantially help the promotion of our film, so please understand this." Ji Zhongjin said apologetically to Nanfeng.

"It's even more unlikely!" Before Nanfeng could speak, Song Jiajia, as an agent, had already begun to protect Nanfeng's interests, "This song was created by Nanfeng, there is no reason why the song he created should be sung by others, is this insulting us?" ”

Song Jiajia's face has completely darkened, this doesn't seem to be pretending, but really angry: "I want to invest so much in the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and I don't need to use a theme song to promote it!" Although my singer is still a newcomer, with his talent, he will definitely have a place in the Chinese music scene in the future, and we have our own dignity! ”

As soon as Song Jiajia finished speaking, she stood up directly, pulling Nanfeng to leave.

"Miss Song, don't be impatient, Lao Ji is joking, I just like the feeling of the south wind singing before I came to you, if you sing it by another person, I'm really worried that I won't be able to sing that taste." Yu Zhengsheng saw that Nanfeng and the two were leaving, and he couldn't sit still anymore, it was time for him to appear as a good person, so he scolded Ji Zhongjin angrily, "Old Ji, I said that you are really, and the two young people also put on your negotiation posture as a businessman, this time it is self-defeating." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be offended, don't see the two children!" Ji Zhongjin hurriedly apologized.

"In fact, our request is very simple, that is, we hope that Nanfeng can rearrange this song, I hope to get a greater momentum, and the version that Nanfeng sang at the original musician contest is great, but in my opinion, it is still lacking." Yu Zhengsheng finally said his request.

In fact, Yu Zhengsheng's main purpose of coming this time is to hope that Nanfeng can rearrange this song, and Ji Zhongjin has to strive for maximum benefits, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating in the end, and he still forgot to consider that the forbearance of young people is not as good as he thought, and sometimes he doesn't care about interests at all for the sake of so-called dignity, which also forced the entire negotiation to break down completely, and Yu Zhengsheng had to directly throw out his own bottom limit, which also made Ji Zhongjin come in vain this time.

"I don't know much about the content of the music, you guys talk to Nanfeng yourself." Everyone apologized, and Song Jiajia and Nanfeng naturally went downhill.

"Actually, I don't think the song "Sword Like a Dream" is not suitable for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" at all." After being silent for a long time, Nanfeng threw out a sentence that stunned everyone, including Song Jiajia.

"Little brother Nanfeng, you are not more arrogant, to be honest, I have invited many well-known creators in China to sing as early as half a year ago, but so far only your song "Sword Like a Dream" meets my requirements, if this song is not suitable for "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I think I will never find a more suitable theme song for this movie!" Yu Zhengsheng said with a smile.

Yu Zhengsheng thought that Nanfeng was angry because of what had just happened, and the so-called inappropriateness was just an expression of dissatisfaction for him, so he kept glancing at Ji Zhongjin and asked him to redeem the consequences he had caused.

"Yes, little brother Nanfeng, this song is really good, we just hope you can make the arrangement of this song a little more powerful on the basis of the original." Downtime for one day means that a lot of money is thrown into the water, and in the face of actual benefits, Ji Zhongjin, as the producer who controls the funds of the entire film, has to bow his head.

"Nanfeng, I also think you're a little arrogant." Song Jiajia pulled the corner of Nanfeng's clothes and winked at him.

"Well, I think you misunderstood, I didn't say that because of what just happened." Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he knew what kind of attitude they were talking about, and it turned out that he was worried about his momentary anger.

"I'm also a fan of Cha Daxia's novels, and I have also read the novel of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", from the perspective of a novel fan, the gap between the song "Sword Like a Dream" and my psychological expectations is still very large." Nanfeng explained.

"I know that Dao Yu Dao is a perfectionist, I must not want to see imperfect factors, I am also a person who pursues perfection, I don't want my work to tarnish this martial arts Bible in my heart, so I said it is not suitable." Nanfeng began to humble himself, and this self-humility was to support his pride.

"What do you mean, little brother?" Yu Zhengsheng seemed to hear the meaning of the words from Nanfeng's words.

"If Director Yu trusts me and gives me a few days, I will compose the theme song for you based on this novel!" Nanfeng said confidently.

"Three days, I'll only give you three days, and after three days I hope to be able to see better works!" Yu Zhengsheng looked at Nanfeng's confident eyes, and actually chose to believe it.

A bright light flashed in a corner of the "pop ......", and the welcome of Nanfeng and Yu Zhengsheng's handshake was forever frozen!
