Chapter Eighty-Four: Detective Chinatown Ending Song!
"Lin Ye, I'll go back and ask Ni Jian to get the electronic version of the contract and send it to you for confirmation, and if you think there is no problem, I'll send it to you for signature."
"Okay Boss Yang."
Lin Ye nodded.
At this time, Chen Sicheng realized it later.
If Lin Ye is really so talented, then he said that he was uninspired just now, but in fact, he was unwilling to write the ending song for the movie because he didn't talk about money?
He pulled down his body and felt that this matter was still negotiable: "Lin Ye, I took it for granted before, I don't know the price of writing a song, I am willing to pay 1 million for the lyrics and songs, can you write a song for our movie?" ”
The contrast between Director Chen before and after is so great that it is jaw-dropping.
The most direct reason is that he listened to the song written by Lin Ye from Liu Haoran's headphones.
It's really nice to hear!
When Lin Ye heard this, he shook his head: "Director Chen, I can't be the master of this, you have to ask my new boss, Sister Yang Mi." ”
Chen Sicheng smiled: "Isn't this not officially signed yet?" ”
"Why, I'm embarrassed Lin Ye, right?" Yang Mi said angrily: "If you want Lin Ye to write the ending song for you, it's okay, two million, not a single point." ”
"Two million?"
Chen Sicheng was a little surprised.
"Why don't you go and grab it!"
Before Yang Mi could say anything, Tong Liya beside him whispered: "Old Chen, I think the song written by Lin Ye may be worth more than two million. ”
"Look at the reactions of netizens, they simply regard Lin Ye as the new god of the Chinese music scene!"
"The songs he writes have their own traffic, maybe they can bring more box office to Tang Tan."
Tong Liya is very smart.
I think it will definitely not be a loss to spend two million to buy an ending song from Lin Ye.
"That's okay, two million is two million, the movie is finished in a week, and I want to sing next week, Lin Ye, can you finish it in such a short time?"
Chen Sicheng asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked at Yang Mi, and she also asked, "Is it possible?" ”
Except for the two of them, everyone else also looked at Lin Ye with curiosity.
Write a movie ending song in a week.
Not only should there be songs, but also lyrics, as well as arranging, producing and singing, and other complicated work.
How is it possible to do it in a week?
But Lin Ye just said calmly in front of everyone: "Yes." ”
boasted of such a Haikou, and everyone sweated for him.
Only Yang Mi especially believed in Lin Ye's ability and didn't find it difficult.
Lin Ye also thought about it for a while.
It only takes a few minutes to write your own songs, and if you record quickly, it's enough for a day.
It takes a little thought to arrange the music, two or three days, and the final production also takes two or three days.
A week is actually quite enough.
If all these things needed Lin Ye to complete alone, it would definitely be impossible to do it.
But Lin Ye only needs to be responsible for lyrics and music, at most he is doing a job as a producer.
I believe that it is not difficult to write a high-quality ending song for a movie in a week with my own supervision.
Of course, what Lin Ye is most concerned about is, how much can he take two million?
So, after finishing work on the set today, he asked Boss Yang alone.
"2 million, you take 800,000."
"So much?"
Lin Ye was a little surprised.
Didn't you say that agencies are all vampires?
Could it be that Yang Mi has preferential treatment for himself?
If you pick up the song yourself, a song is up to a million.
And just now Boss Yang helped him raise the price to 2 million, and after the company took a commission, he could still get 800,000, which is already very high in the industry!
How many musicians are hungry and paying for their dreams, but in the end no one cares.
Making music is no longer profitable in this day and age.
For singers of Zhou Lin and Wang Tao's level, the income in music is less than one-tenth of their total annual income.
Making music is really not making money.
Even in the previous life, there was a singer who opened a hot pot restaurant and a Taobao clothing store to make money, just to smash into music.
Lin Ye also realized this a long time ago, so he chose to take music as his side business.
"The contract I plan to sign with you is not an ordinary artist contract, but a customized A-level contract, you can decide your own personal interpretation, and the money earned will be distributed by the company, according to the highest standards in the industry, 46 points."
"Company 4, Artist 6."
"In terms of lyrics and composition, you get 20% of the profits, and the singers also get 20%, and the remaining 40% goes to the company."
After listening to her explanation, Lin Ye had a general understanding of his unprepared contract.
In other words, there is no difference between self-interpretation and before, and you can choose your own script, and you will not be restricted because you have signed a contract with a company.
On the contrary, there are more opportunities and resources.
This is a good thing for Lin Ye.
As for the 46 accounts, there is no way, the company needs to spend money to support people.
In terms of lyrics and music, Lin Ye likes it very much.
20% for lyricists and 20% for composers.
Director Chen paid 2 million for him to write the ending song, and Lin Ye, as a songwriter, could earn 800,000 yuan.
This is mainly due to the nature of the song as a movie soundtrack.
There is no digital charge, so it is generally in the form of a fixed price.
If those singers in the music industry want to release albums, then how much the songwriter earns depends on the album sales.
Digital sales, physical sales, copyright leasing fees on online platforms, etc., these are the most profitable places to write songs, which is a kind of long-term income.
Many singers are like this, relying on a popular song from north to south, they can directly lie at home and count money, as long as they are stained with pornography, gambling and drugs, it is no problem to have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
But the premise is that there has to be that life.
And luck and strength are also indispensable.
Because not everyone can climb to the top of the pyramid.
"Let's go, wait for you to finish, see you at the company."
Yang Mi put on his sunglasses and prepared to leave.
"I'll send you."
Yang Mi shook his head: "No, I've called a good car." ”
"Well, that's good."
After a while, a Bangkok taxi came in the distance.
Lin Ye watched her get into the car and drove out of sight.
In the next week, Lin Ye did not have many scenes, and this trip to Thailand ended successfully.
Set sail to return to China, Lin Ye and Director Chen went to Starset Entertainment Company together, ready to start producing the ending song of "Detective Chinatown".
When the plane landed, Director Chen couldn't help but ask Lin Ye: "Do you have an idea for the ending song?" ”
"Probably so."
"What type of tune?"
Director Chen said with concern.
"The suspense theme must be a suspense genre."
Lin Ye said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it."
In the ending song of Detective Chinatown, Lin Ye has already figured out which song to use.
This singer is the singer-songwriter who opened a hot pot restaurant and opened a Taobao store to support his music dreams - Lao Xue.
And in his previous music career, there was a song with "Detective Chinatown".
Not only with it, but also with a series of crime-themed film and television dramas such as Hurricane!
The name of this song is "Ambition".
