Chapter 139 0139, You Need to Pay More!

After Chen Cheng hung up the phone, he ordered a takeaway and was too lazy to go out to eat.

Soon, the Yunfeng WeChat message was sent.

"Let's take a look first."

Chen Cheng transferred the music scores of the two songs to the computer.

"Because of love"……

"If you forget"...

After reading the lyrics of the two songs, Chen Cheng's eyes were filled with surprise, but there was also a hint of surprise.

"Oh shit, this young man!"

He doesn't know much about music, but he has an appreciation for lyrics.

The lyrics of both songs are simple, describing romantic love, and each sentence is heart-warming.

"If Guo Mingming is not satisfied with two songs, then probably no songwriter can write a song that satisfies him."

Chen Cheng checked the time and saw that it was time to go to work, so he picked up his mobile phone and got up and headed to the president's office.

"How is it? Have you asked? Yunfeng's answer is..."

Chen Cheng had just entered and before he could sit down, the president asked a series of questions.

Chen Cheng nodded slightly and said, "I'm very lucky. Xiaoyun happens to have two love songs in his hand."

The president looked happy and asked: "Then, is he willing to sell it to us?"

Chen Cheng did not answer directly, but said: "The commercial licensing fee for the web series "The Bodyguard" from "Sword Like a Dream" and "Swordsman" is 100,000."

The president frowned and said, "You mean, he thinks the money given is too little?"

Chen Cheng laughed twice and said, "Do you think 50,000 yuan is a reasonable price to buy out the copyright of his songs?"

The theme song "Swords Like Dreams" sung by Leng Yiming for the "The Bodyguard" web drama has been purchased and downloaded on Penguin Music nearly 10 million times. Just from the share, I don't know how much the commercial licensing fee exceeds 100,000 yuan. Many times more.

Now, I want to buy Yunfeng's song as a movie theme song for 50,000 yuan, and I also want to buy out the copyright. I can't even think about it with my toes.

The president thought about it and asked several songwriters in the lyrics and music department to write it for 50,000 yuan. They were a little reluctant, let alone Yunfeng.

Chen Cheng continued: "I have watched both of these two songs. The quality is no less than those of "Steady Love" and "Invisible Wings". The lyrics are very similar to the theme of the movie "Tiger Rose". It fits. I think any song can complete this list, but you have to pay more. At least it cannot be lower than the price of "Sword Like a Dream" and "Swordsman", and it is only a commercial license. "

That’s more than 50,000 yuan per song.

The president got into trouble and said, "We unilaterally propose a price increase, and there is a high probability that they will not agree."

This, the contract is signed...

In the entertainment industry, people basically only recognize contracts but not people.

Chen Cheng shrugged and said: "There are only three ways to complete this list now. 1. Continue to let the lyrics and music department change the songs until Party A is satisfied; 2. Our company will pay for Yunfeng's songs ourselves. ;3. Talk to Party A.”

Pay your own money to complete the order? Isn't that a brain disease?

The second one is simply ignored.

First, there is a high probability that it will be returned.

Then, the only remaining option is third.

but……

This does not mean that it was not said.

The president sighed and said, "I'll go talk to them."

There is no other way.

What else.

The president was also helpless. If Yunfeng was an artist under his own company, there wouldn't be so many problems.

But ah.

If Yunfeng was really an artist under their company, they would definitely not agree to buying out the copyright of a song for 30,000 yuan.

Chen Cheng added: "The two songs are with me now. You can send them to them for a look."

Maybe it would be better to talk after seeing the quality of the songs.

The president nodded, took a cursory glance at the song after getting it, and said: "The lyrics of this song "Because of Love" are well written, there is a causal relationship between sentences, and the design is very good. "If You Forgot" The lyrics are a little less meaningful, but it’s still a good piece.”

After finishing his review, he added: "By the way, has he registered the copyright?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Registered. I mentioned this to him before. He said that every time he writes a song, he will register the copyright online as soon as possible."

"Well, that's good." The president remembered something again and continued: "It would be better to find a singer to simply record a demo of these two songs and send it to them."

Chen Cheng replied: "Okay."

An hour later, Guo Mingming, who was in Shuchuan Company, received an email from Zhanlan Music Group.

Another version changed so soon?

Isn't it just a perfunctory thing?

After looking at this year's new song popularity list, I thought that the songwriting department of this company was very good, but it was nothing more than that.

Guo Mingming was very anxious and had the idea of ​​​​changing to another company.

Because the post-production of the movie "Tiger Rose" has been completed, and the release date is scheduled for Chinese Valentine's Day. It's not many days away. It still needs to be sent for review. Now we are waiting for the theme song.

Guo Mingming immediately opened his email and clicked play.

Read the lyrics and listen to the demo.

In fact, he knows how people in the circle evaluate him.

But it doesn't matter.

He knows exactly what it takes to be a good producer.

Producer, generally refers to the producer of film and television dramas, who is fully responsible for script coordination, pre-production, crew formation, filming cost accounting, financial audit, execution of filming production, post-production, assisting investors in domestic and foreign distribution, and domestic and foreign application for awards.

It can be said that he is the master of the crew and the highest authority of the crew. He has the right to decide to hire outstanding members and to expel members who violate discipline in the crew.

The reason why every work from the formation of the film to the release of the film is strictly required is to be responsible to the investors and the audience.

"Huh?!"

Guo Mingming listened to the first half and his eyes lit up immediately.

"If one day I forget love, it must be you who makes me never find you again..."

After listening, Guo Mingming played it again.

"This is called a song."

Love what I love, love all you have, don't forget love.

Lyrics and music, there is a little feeling.

However, it is not enough to make a theme song.

Guo Mingming then listened to the next demo.

As soon as he heard the prelude, he let out a "huh".

It's not that it's so good, but he didn't think it would be two songs, he thought it was one song with two versions of lyrics.

"... I'm still in love with you."

I don't know when this demo was finished.

Guo Mingming was sitting on a chair, lost in thought.

At this moment, in his mind, the scenes of the male and female protagonists falling in love, breaking up, reuniting, falling in love, and parting forever in "Tiger Rose" emerged.

For a long time.

Guo Mingming came back to his senses and muttered to himself: "Because of love, in that place, there are still people wandering there, people coming and going."

This song...

What's the name?

Guo Mingming's hands quickly swiped on the phone.

"Because of Love", lyrics and music/Yunfeng."

It's him.

The theme song and the main character soundtrack of the web drama "Dart Man" shot by his old rival Xu Liang all used his songs.

Guo Mingming's mouth curled slightly.

However, when he saw the message in the email, his smile disappeared instantly.

Want to add money? !

Although the other party's words were full of politeness and helplessness, he was still very unhappy.

However.

Yunfeng is not an artist under the Blue Music Group. After releasing so many songs, they are just a cooperative relationship.

This surprised Guo Mingming.

Back to the songs.

He likes both songs.

It is simply tailor-made for "Tiger Rose". "Because of Love" is used as the theme song and "If You Forget" is used as the ending song. Don't be too perfect.

It's not impossible to add money.

At most, a little bit can be deducted from the publicity and distribution expenses.

How much to add is a problem.

According to the Blue Music Group, if it is just for the commercial authorization of the movie "Tiger Rose", it will be cheaper. If it is to buy out the copyright, it will be more expensive.

Guo Mingming pondered for a moment, smacked his lips, and hummed: "Adding money is okay, but it must be sung by Yunfeng and Tang Yu."
