As a popular star in the film and television industry, Su Jinxiu is not short of money. She has several high-end properties in downtown Kyoto, including a villa.
However, her favorite place to live in usually is Green Harbor. Although her house here is just a set of ordinary commercial houses with a size of 100 square meters, she likes the environment and living atmosphere here.
Just like now, she can walk in the community with a hat and mask casually. Few people here can recognize who she is. Even if someone does recognize her, the quality of these people is generally very high. Bother her too.
This kind of ordinary daily life is what she enjoys most.
Especially just now, when she was on the way home, she saw a young couple laughing unscrupulously, hugging without worry, and the natural expression of emotion made her very envious.
Besides, she always felt that the beautiful girl who laughed loudly, where she seemed to have seen it, just couldn't remember it for a while.
"Strange, why I always feel like the girl just now... Maybe, I can try to make new friends... Well, for so many years, there are almost no friends around me..."
Su Jinxiu's mind suddenly popped up with such an idea, and she did not reject it. In her opinion, everything would be fine.
After returning home, Su Jinxiu washed up, changed into casual clothes, and read a book on the soft sofa.
Just after reading a few pages, the phone vibrated suddenly.
is a message from Lin Ming.
Lin Ming is a well-known TV drama director in the industry. Recently, he is preparing to shoot his own new drama, a grassroots entrepreneurial history based on a well-known novel. The crew has been initially formed. Su Jinxiu has also confirmed that he will play the heroine, as for other roles. , And the negotiation is almost complete.
As a director, Lin Ming occasionally communicates with the heroine Su Jinxiu about plot design and characterization. Su Jinxiu is very dedicated and will seriously discuss with each other every time.
However, the news that Lin Ming sent over today was not about the plot. What he sent over was a song.
"Xiao Su, listening to this song, I think it fits very well with our TV series. You can try it out and give me a suggestion. I want to use it as the theme song."
Su Jinxiu was taken aback. The TV series have not been filmed yet, so do you want to set the theme song? However, she clicked on the link to the song.
The link jumped to a new beginning of the music, and then, the relevant information of the song was revealed.
"Huh? "Mortal Song"? The title of the song really fits the TV series..." Su Jinxiu lightly clicked to play.
Soon, a violent and upward melody sounded, which immediately aroused her emotions.
However, the passionate melody was fleeting, random, and the music returned to its normal, gentle rhythm.
Amidst the drumbeats and guitars, a calm and slightly vicissitudes of voice sang.
"You and I are all mortals, born in the world. I run around hard all day long, and I have no leisure for a moment."
The first lyrics hit Su Jinxiu's heart.
This kind of simple, straightforward, yet eloquent lyrics touches people’s souls the most.
In the entertainment circle, Su Jinxiu has seen and heard too many singers and musicians called geniuses. Those people have many excellent works. The rhetoric is extremely gorgeous and the melody is wonderful, but those works are only excellent. Just listen to it once or twice, and you will be left behind, leaving no impression at all.
However, after listening to the first sentence of today's "Mortal Song", Su Jinxiu is convinced that he may never forget this song for the rest of his life.
Because this song has the most straightforward lyrics and the simplest melody, it has aroused the resonance of the audience's soul.
In this world, aren't most people very ordinary? Even if a star like Su Jinxiu looks at the entire human society, she is just an ordinary member. She also needs to travel and work hard every day to film, and it is difficult to have her own free time...
This is the distress shared by all people in the world.
Therefore, "Song of Mortals" can easily enter the hearts of the audience.
Continue listening.
……
"How short is life? Why do you love so much? If your lover is gone, whom should I call for injustice."
……
"Ask when you have seen that the world has changed for people, with the face you dream of, does it count as spring?"
……
Soon after listening to a song, Su Jinxiu felt a sense of loss. She was stunned, and she paid for the "Mortal Song" directly, and then began to play it in a loop.
Every time she listens to it, she seems to have a new insight.
After listening to it seven or eight times, she suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to reply to Director Lin Ming's opinion.
She picked up her mobile phone, thought for a while, and seriously wrote: "I think "Mortal Song" is a very classic work. Both the lyrics and the melody are excellent. Moreover, the thinking and philosophy contained in this song It is indeed very suitable for our TV series. After all, the main line of the story is the history of mortals’ grassroots entrepreneurship. I think using this song as the theme song is a great plus for TV series."
Soon, Lin Ming replied in five words: "The heroes see the same thing."
……
Lin Ming is a very happy person. After deciding to use "Mortal Song" as the theme song of his TV series, the next day he sent someone to contact the staff of the new music website.
Because when Chen Feng uploaded "Song of Mortals", he almost didn't fill in any relevant information, so he could only contact him through the website.
The new starting point of music is naturally very welcome to such things. The works on my website were selected as the theme songs by major directors. This is definitely a selling point worth promoting.
Moreover, the website is very optimistic about the work "Mortal Song" itself. Many staff on the site, including high-level leaders, have long added this song to their playlist. Previously arranged "Mortal Song" and "No "No matter how ordinary" the homepage banner ad PK is also a decision made by the leaders of the operation department, the purpose is to better promote the song.
Sure enough, "Song of Mortals" did not disappoint everyone. It was so quickly photographed by a famous director like Lin Ming.
……
When Chen Feng received a call from the new music website, he was shopping with An Ruohua in the supermarket. In the past few days, he and An Ruohua are rarely resting at home. Both of them enjoy this daily living at home. status.
The call was made by a supervisor of the copyright department. When he heard Chen Feng's voice, the other party was a little excited, even with a vibrato.
"You are Mr. Chen Feng, I'm Zhu Yonghe from the Copyright Department of New Starting Point of Music. This is the case. A TV drama director wants to use your "Mortal Song" as the theme song. I need to discuss with you about related matters. I don't know you. It’s not convenient..."
Zhu Yonghe is very familiar with the business of copyright operations. He quickly talked about the relevant things on the phone. Of course, more details need to be negotiated and signed in person.
At the same time, Zhu Yonghe also proposed a copyright agency agreement with Chen Feng. With this agreement, New Music Start will participate in the copyright operation, promotion and protection of Chen Feng’s works throughout the entire process. They will participate in the cooperation with Chen Feng. The TV crew's negotiations helped Chen Feng get more rights.
In addition, they will also carry out vigorous marketing and promotion of Chen Feng's works. At the same time, they will actively participate in rights protection actions to protect the copyright rights of Chen Feng's works.
Of course, the prerequisite for New Starting Point of Music is willing to do so much work is that they have to take 30% of the copyright income of Chen Feng's works!
"Thirty percent, a bit too much..." Chen Feng thought for a moment, and finally rejected Zhu Yonghe's proposal.
Zhu Yonghe was a little anxious at once, and he immediately said that the specific share ratio can be discussed again, and if Chen Feng has any requirements, he can raise it for negotiation.
Chen Feng thought about it for a long time, and finally put forward: "The copyright agency agreement can be signed, but the new starting point for music can only get 20%. Moreover, the agreement can only be aimed at the work "Mortal Song", not Chen Feng. All future works of people."
This requirement caused Zhu Yonghe a headache. Moreover, Chen Feng said very deadly. If these conditions are not met, he will never sign a contract.
Finally, Zhu Yonghe can only say that he is going to ask a higher leader for advice. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will give Chen Feng a reply as soon as possible.
……
After hanging up, Chen Feng continued to accompany An Ruohua to the supermarket.
An Ruohua just heard the content of Chen Feng’s phone call and couldn’t help sighing:
Don’t say it’s 30%. Even if it’s 20%, I think it’s too high. It’s not easy for you to write a song. Why should the website take it away? many?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Twenty percent...in fact, it is acceptable. After all, as individuals, we are limited in our ability to negotiate copyright with some large companies. We will be very passive when we talk about copyright with some big companies. If a big website like Music New Start helps us out. Negotiation, the effect is better."
An Ruohua curled her lips. Although she was a little reluctant, she also knew what Chen Feng said was reasonable.
"The most important thing is that in the future, in the event of some infringement, the legal system of Music New Start is much more powerful than ours. In the future, they will be the main force in maintaining copyright revenue."
An Ruohua sighed helplessly and said, "Well, who made us so weak..."
Chen Feng stretched his hand over An Ruohua’s shoulder, twisted her fingers around her hair, and said calmly:
Actually, if you really sign with them, the most important thing for me is that I will avoid a lot of it. Trouble, I don’t have to go to battle if anything happens in the future, so that I can have more time to create with peace of mind, and better accompany you to go shopping, go shopping, cook, walk, and do a lot of happiness Things...In this way, it's worth it to split up the 20% benefit, right?"
An Ruohua couldn't help but blush when she heard this, and gave Chen Feng a soft punch.
"Huh, I don't need your company!"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Really? Without my company, where can you really be happy when you do things?"
