Chapter 393: "Love Has to Be Done" sells the original owner
Chen Wen didn't feel anything special about this hot pot, because it was not spicy.
Chen Wen is a native of Jiangxi Province, and eating spicy food is a habit of life for two lifetimes, and it can't be changed.
In the past six months, he has spent most of his time in Shanghai, although Shanghai cuisine is sweet and not spicy, Chen Wen and Su Qianqian open the fire at home by themselves, and often put some chili peppers in some dishes.
Chen Wen's taste for spicy food has not changed. Therefore, for the imperial capital-style hot pot that does not have any spicy taste at all, Chen Wen is basically tasteless.
Chen Wen is very recognizant of the hot pot in the two regions, the spicy pot in Sichuan Province and the Dabian stove in Nanyue, the former is so spicy that it makes your mouth numb, and the latter is a refreshing and fragrant seafood flavor. However, in his previous life, when he ate the side stove, he would always put some spicy dipping sauce.
For today's Donglaishun hot pot, Chen Wen feels that the taste is not bad, but the taste buds in the mouth do not have a strong sense of taste.
The hot pot that Brother Huan invited to eat at noon today made Tang Jin eat very happily.
Tang Jin is a girl from Hangzhou, coupled with many years of living in Shanghai, she has never almost cultivated a sense of taste for spicy, spicy and raw seafood, today's northern hot pot is very suitable for Tang Jin's taste, she keeps shouting delicious.
Regarding the different reactions of Chen Wen and Tang Jin, Brother Huan saw it in his eyes and understood it in his heart, he liked this lovely Tang sister more and more.
After eating the hot pot, Liang Tian and Luo Sang said goodbye. Chen Wen quietly sighed in his heart for Luo Sang, who died three years later.
Brother Huan led Chen Wen, Tang Jin and Sister Song back to his studio.
As soon as they entered, they saw a man with a very fashionable dress and hairstyle sitting on a chair in the courtyard.
"Oh, Brother Turn, I'm so sorry if something is delayed in the morning!" This man has a Wanwan accent, and he can't help but want to be happy when he speaks.
Carefully identifying this person's appearance, Chen Wen was shocked!, the owner has been lost! I have seen another owner!
The person who came was Wanwan singer Yu Chengqing.
In order to make money in Shanghai, Chen Wen wrote "Love Must Be Necessary" silently, which is Yu Chengqing's song!
Yu Chengqing was born in 1961, and he released his debut album "Sad Singer" in 1986. Three years later, his self-composed single "Let Me Love Enough at a Time" became popular as soon as it was released and became the masterpiece of his singing career.
In 2001, Yu Chengqing participated in the TV series "Meteor Garden" and sang the theme song "Love Must Be Necessary" for the TV series.
Yu Chengqing is an evergreen tree in the music world, until 2019 before Chen Wen's rebirth, he was still active in the public's sight, serving as the mentor of "The Voice" ("New Singing") many times, and has had a good cooperation with that sister for many years.
Chen Wen has always felt guilty for stealing Xu Wei's "Persistence", because Xu Wei has not yet mixed up, and Chen Wen is worried about whether Xu Wei will be able to walk on the road of music in the future.
But for stealing a song from Yu Chengqing, Chen Wen has no psychological burden. "Love Has to Be Done" is a 2001 song, Chen Wen stole it 9 years in advance, and it had no impact on Yu Chengqing's singing career.
Yu Chengqing in 1992 has debuted for 6 years, and just participated in the performance of the Yang Ma Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of this year.
Brother Huan said that there was a Wanwan person coming to Chen Wen today, it must be Yu Chengqing, Chen Wen was not worried that Yu Chengqing would come to find "lost property", because the year 1992 when he stole the song was too far away from 2001.
Chen Wen couldn't figure it out, Yu Chengqing was neither lacking in fame nor songs, why did he come to him?
Brother Huan acted as an intermediary and introduced each other to everyone.
Yu Chengqing greeted everyone one by one, and then focused his main attention on Chen Wen.
Chen Wen asked, "Mr. Yu, I heard Brother Huan say that you came specifically for me." ”
Yu Chengqing said sincerely: "Don't hide it, I'm here to ask for a song this time." ”
Chen Wen didn't want to write songs for Wanwan's singers from the bottom of his heart, mainly because many things in the 10s of his previous life made him unhappy. And Chen Wen is not willing to get too close to the artists in Wanwan.
According to the experience of the previous life, the indignant young people on the Internet in the 21st century are sometimes quite blind, if a mainland celebrity gets close to a certain Wanwan star, in case that Wanwan star suddenly does something that makes the mainland people sad, the fire of public opinion can easily knock this innocent mainland celebrity down. There are just too many such examples.
Yu Chengqing's reputation in the mainland is very good, but Chen Wen has a worry that once he establishes a relationship with Yu Chengqing, it will be easy to get in touch with more Wanwan artists. This is something that Chen Wen doesn't really want to do.
The best period of Wanwan's literary and artistic scene was the 80s, and it has gradually declined since the 90s, and Chen Wen certainly doesn't want to put himself in such a declining area.
Thinking of these things, Chen Wenwan refused: "Mr. Yu, I have written 6 songs in the past month, and several times, I haven't slept for several days and nights in a row, and I was almost sent to the hospital for rescue. Lately, I've been feeling a little underwhelmed, and I'm really lacking inspiration and motivation!"
Yu Chengqing thought about it for a while, and put forward a suggestion in a different way: "In this case, can we talk about cooperation in a different way?"
Chen Wen made a gesture of please speak.
Yu Chengqing continued: "I won't ask Mr. Chen to write a song specifically for me, I want to make a request, can Mr. Chen sell me a song you have already written?"
Chen Wen said curiously: "Mr. Yu, which song do you fall into?"
Yu Chengqing said with an expectant face: "I like the song "Love Has to Be Done" very much, I feel that it suits my style very well, and my record company is also very satisfied with the lyrics and tunes. ”
Chen Wen was very happy, this song was originally tailor-made by the record company for Yu Chengqing in 2001.
Chen Wen is a hundred willing in his heart, this song is actually useless in his own hands, he has already retreated from the pirated tape business, it is really better to return it to the original owner and sell it to Yu Chengqing.
Although he was happy in his heart, Chen Wen was already a reborn old fox, and there was no surprise on his face.
Chen Wen asked lightly: "How much money does your company plan to pay?"
Yu Chengqing said with a smile: "What about the rules of our record company, all kinds of songs have a complex grading system, generally speaking, ordinary songs are about a few hundred or thousands of yuan; an excellent song, if you give it to a first-line singer to sing, the company pays the songwriter 5 to 80,000 yuan." I have already talked to the company about the highest treatment, and our company is willing to pay 150,000 yuan for "Love is a Last Resort". ”
Chen Wen asked, "Is 150,000 a Wanwan currency?"
Yu Chengqing said loudly: "Of course not! 150,000 is RMB!"
Chen Wen looked at Brother Huan, and the other party smiled and didn't say anything.
He glanced at Tang Jin again, and the beauty looked at him with big eyes shining, and he didn't express any will.
Chen Wen said to Yu Chengqing: "Okay! I agree! When will we sign the contract?"
Yu Chengqing said happily: "Great! I have already brought the contract and money, and I can sign it now." ”
After speaking, Yu Chengqing took out 15 bundles of hundred-yuan bills from his bag, put them on the long table, and took out two more contract documents and handed them to Chen Wen.
Chen Wen read carefully.
The song licensing agreements he signed with Brother Huan, Sister Zhen, and Sister Song last time were all in simplified Chinese, and the text of the contract that Yu Chengqing brought today is in traditional Chinese.
In terms of the content of the contract, Yu Chengqing's document is actually very similar to the ones signed by Chen Wen before.
When signing a contract with Brother Huan, Chen Wen crossed out all the amount columns with a pen and authorized them to sing, distribute and arrange music for free.
In today's contract, the amount column has been filled in by Yu Chengqing's record company, 150,000 yuan.
After reviewing the contract, Chen Wen signed his name on two documents.
Yu Chengqing, as the authorized representative of the record company, also signed two documents.
There are two contracts, and Chen Wen and Yu Chengqing's record company each keeps one copy.
Yu Chengqing said that the lyrics and score did not need to be provided by Chen Wen, and that they had already obtained a copy of the song, and the record company would rearrange and package the song.
Yu Chengqing also made a request: "We still have many singers in our company, and the company means that we also want to ask Mr. Chen to write some songs for them." ”
Chen Wen thought about it, this is really a troublesome thing.
In the 21st century, many of Wanwan's artists have made unfriendly remarks about the mainland.
