Chapter Sixty-Eight: Cinderella Love
"It's all ...... Which companies? ”
Gu Yan asked tentatively in a bit of a daze.
Xiao Zhan couldn't say this clearly, how did he decide......
"Don't worry, you sit down, I'll tell you slowly."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand to signal Gu Yan to sit down and speak, then took out the document and showed it to Gu Yan, and said one by one:
"There's an ancient animated movie here that wants to buy your "Big Fish" as the theme song, and the price is 1.2 million."
"At the same time, there are three film and television drama crews who also take a fancy to "Big Fish", but their highest price is only 800,000."
"There is also a small film and television company that took a fancy to your song "The Love of My Life" and wanted to buy the copyright as an interlude, but the price was only 400,000."
"In addition, there are people in Guangdong who want to buy the copyright of this song and cover it into Cantonese......"
"This is the big head, and the rest of the commercial uses such as chain KTV, commercial performances and the like have been submitted to the copyright society."
“……”
Gu Yan nodded, he was actually not worried about copyright, the law was very sound.
Not only is this kind of large amount of commercial copyright, but even that kind of grassroots singer must buy commercial performance rights to participate in commercial performances.
This kind of is also divided into grades, mainly depending on the occasion of the performance, and the cheap kind of commercial singing rights of no more than 50 people only cost a few hundred yuan a year.
The larger ones range from thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and the charges vary depending on the level of the song.
So composers with a little more good songs are really making money!
"What is the story of this anime movie?"
Gu Yan chatted with Xiao Zhan.
He was also very curious about this story, after all, it was the first time he had made a soundtrack for a movie.
Although everything in the movie has little effect on the song......
Unless it's the kind of movie that is relatively good, it will add a lot of color to the song, otherwise generally even if the film and television drama is a little bad, it will not affect the listening sense of the song, after all, a bad movie is a divine comedy.
"It's like a costume romance anime movie with a bit of fantasy."
Xiao Zhan said thoughtfully.
People are just here to buy the copyright, and they don't want you to tailor it, so naturally they won't give you an outline of the script.
"Okay......"
Gu Yan was a little disappointed, and then said: "Then it depends on the company's decision, I have no opinion." ”
Although the copyright of the song belongs to him, the income from this version will not be all his, unless he jumps out and sets up a company to work alone in the future, and then re-records all the songs......
So this kind of business business is left to the company, if you are not satisfied, it is a big deal to go it alone.
Now it's the company coaxing him.
"Okay, then the company decides, just wait to collect the money."
Xiao Zhan smiled.
After the two chatted in the office for a while, Gu Yan walked out, then thought about it and walked directly towards the recording studio.
He is now a senior composer, and he doesn't have to sit on the shift at all, just complete a minimum task every month, and his current task is to participate in the "Producer Competition" and make a new album for Moonlight Girl.
Who dares to say anything about him?
In the recording studio that had almost become the exclusive use of Bai Qing and him recently, Gu Yan closed the door, and the whole world became quiet again.
He loves it!
Now it's time to start writing a new song for Moonlight Maiden!
At present, the progress of the new album is still only those six songs.
"I'm Too Stupid", "It's Not as Good as It", "Weather Platform", "Little Lucky", "Do You Want to Dance", "Ninety Thousand Words".
The genres are lyrical, rock, little fresh, antique, so ......
Gu Yan flipped through the notes he had recorded in the chat with the girls that day and thought about it.
He's now trying to create a backbone for the album, a definition to bring the whole album together, just as a song has a theme, and so does the album.
His definition of this album is changeable, but it can't be changeable, there must be a definition to control this change, otherwise it is still tangible and godless.
What about the definition of a goddess?
Because she is a goddess, she can naturally control various images.
So which goddesses from myths and legends can be used to choose?
He began to look for images of mythological goddesses.
……
Here Gu Yan calmed down and worked, and over there in the office building of a small film and television company, a thin young man with glasses stared intently at the computer screen, and the plot of a movie was playing on the screen.
In the picture, in front of an ancient city, a person with flames suspended in the air, looking back and staring deeply at the woman in ancient costume standing on the city tower.
At the same time, the melody of "The Love of My Life" began to play on the computer.
The young man muttered: "This is it, this is the song, it must be this song, it can only be this song......
He reached out and pulled his hair a little anxiously, then picked up his mobile phone and made a call, almost as soon as he was connected, he asked, "Did Xingyun Entertainment reply from there?" ”
"Uh...... Not yet, Chen Xing, why don't we change the theme song? That song is so popular, we really don't have enough funds. ”
"No, it can only be this song, you don't know how important this song is to this movie, I tell you, this song is the soul, I have to have this song."
"Okay, okay, it's crazy, I'll think of a way."
The phone hung up, and the man named Chen Xing pushed his glasses, watching the man on the screen rushing towards the army, and his eyes bloomed with a scorching light.
"Just wait for this song, as long as you have this song, you will definitely bloom with your own brilliance."
"It's coming."
“……”
Time gradually passed, and three days later, Gu Yan vaguely found some clues, and a phone call came when he was writing a song.
Gu Yan looked at the caller's unfamiliar number, and he hesitated for a moment to connect.
"Hello?"
"Ahem, is it Gu Yan? I'm Wu Zhou. ”
"Huh? Mr. Wu? ”
Gu Yan was a little surprised that the caller turned out to be Wu Zhou, another platinum composer in the "Producer Competition".
What are you looking for him? And it seems to be a little embarrassing.
"Is it convenient to talk now?"
Wu Zhou asked with a smile on the phone, it seemed that his mood had been adjusted.
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, it's convenient, Mr. Wu, you say." ”
"That's right, a friend of mine begged me to come here, he is an investor in a film and television company, and then recently a movie he invested in is about to be released, but it is missing a theme song."
"They have taken a fancy to your song "The Love of My Life", but your company has never agreed, so please let me tell you if I can sell the copyright to them for use."
Wu Zhou told the story eloquently, his tone was gentle, and he didn't look like he was relying on the old and selling the old at all.
His attitude was naturally very respectful, and after hearing it, he said politely: "I know, Mr. Wu, which company is your friend?" Which movie are you talking about? I'm going to ask now. ”
"Okay, he is from Huayi Film and Television, but he invested in a studio called Zhumeng Film and Television, he is optimistic about the director who opened this studio, and the name of the company reported to your company should be Zhumeng Film and Television."
"The movie is called "Cinderella Love""
