Chapter Thirteen: First Meet Lan Feilin
Lin Xingchen, who came out of the college, walked directly to a well-known leisure cafe near the college. He chose this because Lin Xingchen had been here twice and enjoyed the leisurely environment here.
Although we arrived a little early, there were not many customers in the cafe except the waiter. But Lin Xingchen still asked the waiter to find him a private room near the street and quietly waited for the other party to arrive.
Lin Xingchen actually doesn't really watch the selling of songs. But if he can make some money and increase his popularity in the entertainment industry, Lin Xingchen still feels very happy.
Just as Lin Xingchen was tasting the coffee delivered by the waiter, the knock on the door outside the box interrupted his thoughts. He quickly said 'Please enter' and saw that the door of the box was opened.
He looked at the waiter and said politely: "Hello sir, these two guests said they are your friends."
Looking at the appearance of a man and a woman standing behind the waiter, Lin Xingchen quickly focused on the girl with tight packaging. He really didn't expect that the girl would come here in person.
He quickly got up and smiled and said, "You are Mr. Bi from Haidie?"
The middle-aged man standing outside the door was wearing a clean and neat suit and looked very elegant. Looking at Lin Xingchen who was getting up to greet him, he said with a little surprise: "You are XC? I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be so young!"
Although both of them had only contacted each other on the phone, it was their first time meeting. After booking a private room, Lin Xingchen only compiled a text message and sent it to the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party came so quickly.
Since they were the ones who needed to negotiate business today, Lin Xingchen quickly reached out and said, "Thank you, these two are the guests I invited. Mr. Bi, Miss Jin, please come in! What do you guys want to drink?"
The girl who was named by Lin Xingchen seemed a little surprised and said, "Did you recognize me?"
The slightly weird conversation between the three of them was a little confused. Mr. Bi quickly said, "Give me a cup of coffee, make a pot of good tea, and have a fruit platter. Thank you!"
As Mr. Bi finished ordering the meal, the waiter also knew that it was time for her to leave. After she quickly left the box, Lin Xingchen took the initiative to get up and welcomed the two into the sofa in the box.
Regarding the girl who refused to take off her sunglasses at this moment, Lin Xingchen smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet Lan Feilin here today. It seems that my two songs are still very valued!"
Listening to Lin Xingchen's words, Bi Xiao, as the director of Haidian Music, smiled and said, "It seems that XC knows us Shasha very well. By the way, I don't know your surname yet? I didn't expect you to be so young on the phone before."
Facing Bi Xiao's inquiry, Lin Xingchen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Director Bi will come here to discuss the copyright of the two songs in person. XC is the English abbreviation of my name, Lin Xingchen, Shuangmulin, Star of Star, Star of Star."
When I saw this girl, Jinsha, who was well-known to the public for her youth campus drama "Eighteen Years Sky", played Lan Feilin. Lin Xingchen knew that the person who could bring her here must not be too simple.
I don’t know where the memories came from, but a piece of information quickly emerged in his mind. The middle-aged man named Bi seemed to be the director of the Mainland Haidian Company. According to the information, the other party seemed to graduate from Mingzhu Conservatory of Music.
It is precisely because of these memories that Lin Xingchen quickly revealed the other party’s identity. Bi Xiao was also very confused about Lin Xingchen’s recognition of himself and the well-covered Jinsha. Could it be that this young man is also a person in the circle?
Thinking of this, Bi Xiao also smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Lin knows us very well! Is Mr. Lin also a person in the music circle? There are really not many outsiders who I can recognize!"
Lin Xingchen did not hide the curiosity of Bi Xiao and said with a smile: "Director Bi was joking. I am not a specialist in music. The songs sent to you Haidian are more of my unintentional creations in my spare time. I want to see if anyone likes them.
To be honest, Director Bi, I am a high school student who just graduated this year. When I was in school, I liked the role played by Miss Sands. I have also heard the songs she sang with JJ this year. I think she should be very suitable for singing these two songs.
If I can be accepted by your company, it will fulfill my wish as a fan. How much extra money can I earn, why not do it? But I really didn't expect that since Miss Sands came here in person, she was a little overjoyed.
As for knowing Director Bi's identity, the reason is that the mainland Haidian Music, the person in charge seems to be Bi's surname. The person who can be with the company's popular artist and Bi's surname is Bi, I think there is only Director Bi!"
Sitting aside, like a quiet and beautiful woman's Jinsha, she was a little happy to hear that Lin Xingchen was her fan. But she heard that the other person was just a high school graduate, and she was somewhat shocked that the other person was so young.
He said again, "Mr. Lin is from Mingzhu? But your accent doesn't seem to be like the accent of the locals!"
The Jinsha of the Pearl Man himself is, and he does not have any local accents for Lin Xingchen's standard Mandarin. He thinks that this young man should not be a Pearl Man. So what exactly does he do?
As for why she came in person, she saw this mysterious lyricist who attached the words "XC, produced by XC, must be a fine product" at the end of the song. The reason is that Bi Xiao said that this XC is a talented person and should make friends with her.
But she was really surprised that this composer was so young. Based on the other party's age when he just graduated from high school, I'm afraid he must be under twenty at this moment. It is indeed amazing to be able to create songs that Bi Xiao praised!
Just as Lin Xingchen was about to speak, the door knock sounded again outside. Knowing that it was the waiter who delivered the meal, Lin Xingchen got up and opened the door, asking the waiter to put the things Bi Xiao ordered.
After doing this, Lin Xingchen nodded and said, "Thank you, if nothing happens, I hope the box will not be disturbed by anyone next. If there is any other need, I will order a meal again. Please trouble you!"
The cafe set up this kind of business box to take care of some business people for talks. The waiter did not feel any surprises about Lin Xingchen's request, so he smiled and left the box.
When Lin Xingchen sat back on his seat, he looked at Jinsha who refused to take off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "Ms. Jin has a good vision. My hometown is in southern Jiangxi. I am at Mingzhu because I am a freshman from Shanghai Theater. I just entered school in September and studied in the Department of Film and Television Literature."
When she heard this, Jinsha and Bi Xiao were a little surprised. Although Jinsha was already a famous artist at this moment, she also knew how many students Shanghai Opera recruited every year. Even if she was unable to enter this academy to study.
Bi Xiao responded at the right time: "Oh, after saying this, Mr. Lin is also a person in our circle. It would be no surprise that the top students in the literature department could make such excellent songs.
Speaking of which, I still have some friendship with Director Long of your Literature Department. I really didn’t expect that Mr. Lin has such a handsome appearance and such excellent creative talent. It seems that his future prospects are limitless!"
Regarding Bi Xiao's praise, Lin Xingchen quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Bi's words are really heavy. I am just a freshman who has just entered school. I said that the future is limitless, and I really praise me.
If Director Bi has any doubts about my identity, you can confirm it to Director Long. When I was in the first exam, the invigilator was Director Long. He should be quite familiar with my situation.
There is only one thing that I have to explain in advance. I still want to be as low-key as possible about my songwriting. After all, most of the songs I create are inspired and not what I am good at.”
‘Then what are you good at?’
As soon as Lin Xingchen finished speaking, Jinsha asked this question directly with a little curiosity. Regarding this sudden inquiry, Lin Xingchen looked a little calmer and said with a smile: "I think it should be a script creation!
But I think that an excellent screenwriter can also increase the popularity of a work while creating film and television works. For this reason, I am used to compiling some free inspiration into songs and retaining it."
Perhaps he felt that Jinsha’s inquiry was a bit rude, Bi Xiao smiled at the right time and said, “It seems that this time I came here in person to negotiate with Mr. Lin to buy songs, and I’m really right! I wonder, what is Mr. Lin’s psychological price for his songs?”
Seeing that the topic turned to the topic, Lin Xingchen said directly: "I believe Director Bi also knows that I am a new person who cannot be new. The three works sent to your company this time are also out of fans' respect for their idols.
As for how much it costs to make a song, I believe Director Bi is an expert in this field. In fact, I don’t have much expectations for the price of the song. I still hope to use the creation of songs to meet more artists.
Also, I need to make clear that most of my songs are tailor-made for singers. If your company feels it’s a bit difficult, then I would rather not sell songs. After all, I know better about my works for that singer!”
Bi Xiao has seen a new composer who dares to speak wildly like this for the first time. But looking at Lin Xingchen's serious expression, he knew that the other party dared to say this, which was not a joke. But where did his confidence and confidence come from?
