Chapter 14: The Insider
Xiao Yuxuan didn't hesitate, smiled, and responded very happily: "No problem, I accept it!" ”
In fact, when Xiao Yuxuan heard the number of 300,000, he was still a little puzzled, because the song "Dang" got 100,000, if it is according to the standard of "Dang", the gap is too big.
Although he had doubts, he didn't show it!
In his previous life, because of various pressures, he had enough of the days of "money slave", and this time he wanted to live more casually and reincarnate as a human being, so he could see more openly in terms of money.
In addition, I am still in school, so I don't have too much burden and pressure, so I am not very sensitive to money.
"If you have no problem, I will communicate with Rubik's Cube Media at this fee in the afternoon, because the owner of this drama is Rubik's Cube Media, although I am the director, I still have to communicate with them in terms of cost...... There should be no objections from their side, and we will sign the contract after communication, okay? ”
"Teacher Liu, I'll listen to your arrangement." Xiao Yuxuan nodded and agreed.
"Good...... Then the first thing is solved. Liu Peng happily slapped his leg and laughed a few times, then paused and put away his smile, "What happened next, I didn't expect it before......
"Hmm...... Here I will insert a sentence......" Zhou Xianjun said: "Your teacher Liu offered a price of 300,000 to pack 12 songs, which is relatively high in the industry, at least at the upper middle level, for newcomers, this price must be sky-high......"
"Master, I actually don't have any concept of the cost, I listen to your arrangement!" Xiao Yuxuan nodded.
"I'm telling you this, it's not just a matter of money...... That's the case, when I was chatting with Mr. Ma and Mr. Fang yesterday, I learned about one thing, the singer of the song "Dang" is called Hu Xiaodong, and he has always claimed that this song was created by himself, and it was indeed this Hu Xiaodong who paid 100,000 yuan for this song at that time, so I found you, Mr. Liu, to confirm this matter...... Lao Liu, you tell Yu Xuan about the inside story. ”
"Okay......" Liu Peng took a sip of water and continued: "This Hu Xiaodong is closer to the leaders of our station, and he himself is also signed with Rubik's Cube Media, one of the male protagonists who starred in this drama this time, and it is not just counted as bringing money into the group, so when I got the theme song "When", I arranged for him to sing, which is indeed a component of the photo......"
"After the song was given to him, his agent approached me and said that he would talk directly to the songwriter about the cost, so I gave her your master's phone number......"
Zhou Xianjun nodded, "The person who called me is a woman, it should be Hu Xiaodong's agent, what she said on the phone is very simple, she bought this song for 100,000 yuan...... Because she claimed to have communicated with Lao Liu, although I had some doubts about the number of 100,000 at the time, I didn't think much about it, and when she received the 100,000 yuan, she didn't even mention the contract...... Maybe it's because of this that there are some misunderstandings......"
"After your master told me yesterday, I only found out that such a thing had happened...... I contacted Hu Xiaodong in the morning, and her agent said it very bluntly, they want to package Hu Xiaodong as an excellent singer-songwriter, so they will pay a high price to buy songs, but they will not sign a contract...... What they say about buying a song is a ...... that includes all copyrights."
"In order to cooperate with the promotion of this drama, this song will be released when the offline publicity of this drama is released, but the copyright has been registered ......"
"That's the general situation now, and I also asked them to come to Taiwan in the afternoon to talk about this matter, so I want to hear your opinion first."
After listening to the explanation of the two of you, Xiao Yuxuan also figured out the inside story, and the little doubts just now were also answered, and he understood why there was a huge difference between 300,000 packages of 12 songs and 100,000 songs for one song.
It's really inexplicable to be a "gunman"!
In addition to "Farewell", which was specially prepared for the graduate school entrance examination interview at that time, this "Dang" can be said to be his first attempt to show that unique memory, which has a unique significance.
Without his own permission, the precious "one blood" was sent like this? The "first time" was taken away like this?
This feeling made him uncomfortable!
But this matter made him embarrassed!
Mr. Liu is probably also in a dilemma......
Over there, Hu Xiaodong is fine if he has a simple relationship with the employer, but he still has the background of the leader of Modu TV; Here is a young junior with unlimited potential, even if Xiao Yuxuan is not considered, there is also the affection of his old classmate Zhou Xianjun......
Can Liu Peng not be embarrassed?
Zhou Xianjun was also embarrassed, one was an old classmate who had a very good relationship, and the other was a disciple who called himself "master......
Xiao Yuxuan didn't speak, silently took out a cigarette, scattered one for both of them and lit it, and lit one himself.
Liu Peng laughed dryly in surprise, "I didn't know before, you also smoke?" ”
Zhou Xianjun also knew that his proud disciple could smoke, "It's not a good thing, try to smoke less." ”
Xiao Yuxuan nodded, "Master, is this situation common?" ”
The situation that Xiao Yuxuan asked refers to the situation where the singer directly bought the copyright, and then claimed that the work he bought was his own original.
Zhou Xianjun flicked off the cigarette ash and spit out two words, "A lot!" ”
Liu Peng also flicked the ash of his cigarette and nodded in agreement with Zhou Xianjun's words, "It should be quite a lot, I don't play music, I've heard similar things more than once...... What's this, everyone is just playing tacit understanding! ”
Xiao Yuxuan also flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and slowly spoke: "Teacher Liu, that's the case, my bottom line is to retain the right of authorship, as for this song, they can use it as much as they like in the future......"
I was still trying to live casually enough just now, and I was slapped in the face immediately!
Xiao Yuxuan chuckled, a little cold and a little firm: "What I wrote, the author wrote about someone else, I look awkward...... On the other hand, the two songs "When" and "Since I Have You" echo, and the inspiration is those few words. ”
Which few words?
Evil, I want to know you and live a long life. There are no mountains and no tombs, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunder and tremors in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king.
Liu Peng and Zhou Xianjun have both read the draft of "Since I Have You", and naturally they are both clear.
Liu Peng thought that Xiao Yuxuan would acquiesce in this matter, but Xiao Yuxuan's expression and words had already given a clear attitude.
It is both reasonable and unexpected.
Xiao Yuxuan's statement almost killed the words, Liu Peng couldn't say any more words of persuasion, as if to encourage himself, nodded vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Hmm! I know...... I have a great deal of responsibility in this matter...... In this way, Hu Xiaodong and her agent came over in the afternoon, you can go with you and listen to what they have to say! ”
“…… Good! Xiao Yuxuan agreed.
The words and demeanors of the two were seen by Zhou Xianjun, and he blamed himself a little for this matter, and at the same time, he was also a little disappointed with the way his old classmates finally chose to push Xiao Yuxuan to the front desk......
Smoke rose in the office, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
Liu Peng extinguished the cigarette butt vigorously, as if he had just remembered something suddenly, "That's right...... Yu Xuan, I briefly mentioned your situation to the Rubik's Cube Media, the Rubik's Cube is very interested in you, and I am willing to provide you with a platform and opportunity for development...... Having said that, you haven't considered singing one or two of these more than ten songs? ”
A few words?
Willing to provide a platform and opportunity for development?
Is this a quid pro quo?
Zhou Xianjun's disappointment in his heart aggravated a little when he heard this, he didn't know what his old classmate and the people from Rubik's Cube Media talked about, and he deliberately smiled:
"Old classmate...... Don't forget, Yu Xuan is still a student, although the opportunity is good, but you still have to focus on your studies, right? Hehe......"
Xiao Yuxuan also said, "Hmm...... I have communicated this with my master, since I chose to go to graduate school, I just want to learn more things, and I have to focus on my studies, so I haven't thought about the future for the time being,...... However, thank you Mr. Liu for your care......"
"As for rapping...... Mr. Liu, I'll tell you the truth, I really had this idea before, but later I dispelled this idea, mainly because my singing is too ugly, and I belong to the kind of person who was born with incomplete five tones...... There is a saying, 'When others sing for money, I sing for death'......"
Xiao Yuxuan's words, Zhou Xianjun didn't believe it, as Xiao Yuxuan's mentor, he had heard Xiao Yuxuan sing, he couldn't say that he had any unique style, but he definitely didn't belong to the type of singing that was ugly.
Liu Peng naturally doesn't know whether Xiao Yuxuan sings well or not, but Xiao Yuxuan, an excellent creator, can't show his singing voice on the stage, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as "guarding Baoshan in the air", which is indeed a pity.
"That's right...... That's a pity! Liu Peng didn't know the inside story, took Xiao Yuxuan's refusal seriously, and really felt sorry for Xiao Yuxuan, and comforted again: "'God closes a door for you, and will open a window for you', you have the talent to create, and it is also very promising to concentrate on creation, just like your master said, you should be born to eat this bowl of rice......"
……
The small conference room of the TV drama department of Modu TV was full of smoke, and the deputy director of the department, Li Jun, the director Liu Peng, plus Zhou Xianjun and Xiao Yuxuan, were all swallowing clouds and spitting fog, everyone was also thinking about their own affairs, and the conference room was quiet.
Deputy Director Li Jun glanced at his watch again, knocked on the table twice with "Dong Dong", and said to director Liu Peng: "Lao Liu, didn't you say that you made an appointment with them at 2 o'clock?" It's almost 2:20, why hasn't it come yet, you can't remember the wrong time, right? ”
“…… It is indeed about 2 points, and it will certainly not be wrong. Liu Peng was also speechless.
Li Jun muttered impatiently: "You call again to urge and ask what the situation is...... I'm still a mess, who has the heart to spend it here? ”
“…… There was some traffic jam on the road, and the other party said that it would take about 5 minutes to get there. Liu Peng put down the phone.
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, I still didn't see the figure of Rubik's Cube Media.
"Don't wait......" Li Jun, who had a stinky face, stood up, "Lao Liu, I still have a little thing to deal with urgently, I'll go back first, someone will arrive in a while, you call me, I'll come over again......"
Liu Peng also got up, "Okay, director, you can ...... if you have something."
Liu Peng's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and the assistant pushed open the office door and said softly: "Director, Mr. Dong of Rubik's Cube Media, they have arrived!" ”
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, there was a hearty laugh that was getting closer and closer from outside the door, and then a fat beer belly appeared in the field of vision, and finally the round face of the beer belly owner, with a simple smile on the big face.
"Oops...... Director Li, long time no see! The big face spoke Mandarin with a local accent in the magic capital, and greeted him very kindly: "I'm really sorry, there is a little traffic jam on the road, so you have been waiting for a long time, forgive me......"
Li Jun replaced his sincere smile with a speed comparable to the change of face in Sichuan Opera, "Mr. Dong's words are out of sight...... You're a guest! Why don't you say it in advance when you go downstairs, you are here, and I, as a landlord, have to express your welcome, right? ”
This Dong Zong was not ambiguous, "This was originally delayed on the road for a while, and I came a little late, but it happened that I met Xiao Hu Xiaodong and her agent downstairs, that is, this Ms. Xu Rong, accompanied them to Gengtai's office first to say hello, thinking about you in my heart, I didn't drink a sip of water, and I came here with my front and back feet...... Director, you have a lot of adults, you can't find fault with me, hehe......"
What Li Jun thinks in his heart, outsiders don't know, anyway, he smiled with him: "Mr. Dong, look at what you said, where can you be?" Come, please be seated...... Let's sit down and talk...... Ms. Xu, please take a seat...... Drink some water first. ”
Everyone sat down, and Li Jun also drank a sip of water with him, "If you want to say this, this tea is definitely not as good as Gengtai's side, but it can barely enter the throat to quench your thirst...... By the way, Mr. Huang Xin didn't come this time? ”
Mr. Dong replied disappreciatively: "Although Mr. Huang can't get to the scene because of something, but what...... I came with Mr. Huang's instructions. ”
The bridge in this TV series happened vividly in front of his eyes, which gave Xiao Yuxuan a lot of light.
I used to work with all kinds of people, but that scene couldn't compare with the scene in front of me.
Okay, I didn't start talking when we first met, so I first brought out a big Buddha and offered it!?
Many netizens on the Internet scold the actors for their poor acting skills every day, so if you change to these two true colors, there is nothing wrong with taking a little golden man, right?
Therefore, it is not the lack of beauty, but the lack of eyes to find beauty, which is the truth!
Okay, without further ado, the actors are in place, please start, no, please continue your performance......
