As a popular actress in the film and television industry, Su Jinxiu is not short of money. She owns several high-end properties in Kyoto, including a villa.
However, her favorite place to live is Green Harbor. Although her house here is just an ordinary commercial house of about 100 square meters, she likes the environment and the atmosphere of life here.
Just like now, she can just wear a hat and a mask and go for a walk in the community. Few people here can recognize who she is. Even if someone does recognize her, these people are generally of high quality and not too
Too disturbing to her.
This kind of ordinary daily life is what she enjoys the most.
Especially just now, when she was on her way home, she saw a young couple smiling unbridled, hugging without worries, and expressing their natural emotions, which made her very envious.
Moreover, she always felt that the beautiful girl laughing loudly seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but she just couldn't remember it for the moment.
"Strange, why do I always feel like I have a close connection with that girl just now? Maybe I can try to make a new friend. Well, after so many years, I have almost no friends around me."
Such an idea suddenly popped into Su Jinxiu's mind, and she was not opposed to it. In her opinion, just let everything take its course.
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, my phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a message from Lin Ming.
Lin Ming is a well-known TV drama director in the industry. He is currently preparing to shoot his own new drama, a history of grassroots entrepreneurship adapted from a well-known novel. The crew has been initially formed, and Su Jinxiu has also been confirmed to play the heroine. As for other roles
, and the negotiations are almost complete.
As a director, Lin Ming would occasionally discuss plot design and characterization with the heroine Su Jinxiu. Su Jinxiu was very dedicated and would discuss it with her seriously every time.
However, the message Lin Ming sent today was not about discussing the plot. What he sent was a song.
"Xiao Su, listen to this song. I think it fits our TV series very well. You can listen to it and give me some suggestions. I want to use it as the theme song."
Su Jinxiu was stunned for a moment. The TV series hadn't even been filmed yet, so the theme song had to be decided? However, she still clicked on the link to the song.
The link jumps to a new starting point for music, and then the relevant information of the song is revealed.
"Hmm? "Mortal Song"? The title of the song does fit well with the TV series." Su Jinxiu gently clicked play.
Soon, an exciting and uplifting melody sounded, which immediately lifted her mood.
However, the exciting melody disappeared in an instant and randomly, and the music returned to its normal gentle rhythm.
Amid the sound of drums and guitar, a calm and slightly aged voice sang.
"You and I are both mortals, born in this world. We run around and suffer all day long, and we never have a moment of leisure."
The first lyrics hit Su Jinxiu's heart directly.
This kind of simple and straightforward yet precise word for word lyrics can touch people's soul the most.
In the entertainment industry, Su Jinxiu has seen and heard too many singers and musicians who are called geniuses. Those people have many excellent works, with extremely gorgeous words and wonderful melodies, but those works are only excellent.
After listening to it once or twice, it will be forgotten and it will leave no impression at all.
However, after listening to the first sentence of today's song "Mortal Song", Su Jinxiu was convinced that she might never forget this song in her lifetime.
Because this song resonates with the listener's soul with the most straightforward lyrics and the simplest melody.
Aren't most people in this world ordinary? Even a star like Su Jinxiu is just an ordinary member of the human society. She also needs to run around and work hard every day filming, and it is difficult for her to have real leisure time of her own.
time
This is a problem shared by everyone in the world.
Therefore, "Mortal Song" can easily enter the hearts of the audience.
Keep reading.
"Life is too short, why bother to love so hard? Who can you complain to when your lover disappears?"
"When have you ever seen that the world has changed for people and that they have the appearance they dream of? Is it considered spring?"
After listening to a song soon, Su Jinxiu felt a sense of loss. She was stunned and directly paid for the song "Mortal Song", and then started playing it on a loop.
Every time she listens to it again, she seems to gain new insights.
After listening to it seven or eight times in one breath, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have not replied to Director Lin Ming with her opinion.
She picked up her phone, thought about it, and wrote seriously: "I think "Mortal Song" is a very classic work. Both the lyrics and the melody are very excellent. Moreover, the thinking and philosophy contained in this song
, is indeed very suitable for our TV series. After all, the main line of the story is the entrepreneurial history of ordinary people. I think using this song as the theme song is a great bonus for the TV series."
Soon, Lin Ming replied with five words: "Heroes think alike."
Lin Ming was a very cheerful person. After he decided to use "Mortal Song" as the theme song for his TV series, he sent someone to contact the staff of the Music New Beginning website the next day.
Because when Chen Feng uploaded "Mortal Song", almost none of his relevant information was filled in, so he could only make contact through the website.
Music New Starting Point naturally welcomes such things. The works on its website have been selected as 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 of the website, including senior leaders, have already added this song to their playlist. Previously, they arranged "Mortal Song" and "Unusual Song".
The banner ad pk on the homepage of "No matter how ordinary" is also a decision made by the leaders of the operations department, with the purpose of better promoting this song.
Sure enough, "Mortal Song" did not disappoint everyone, and it was actually picked up by a famous director like Lin Ming so quickly.
When Chen Feng received the call from the Music New Starting Point website, he was shopping with An Ruohua in the supermarket. These days, he and An Ruohua rarely rested at home. Both of them enjoyed this daily life at home.
status.
The call came from a supervisor in the copyright department. When he heard Chen Feng's voice, the other person got a little excited and even spoke with a vibrato.
"You are Mr. Chen Feng, right? I am Zhu Yonghe from the Copyright Department of Music New Starting Point. This is how it is. There is a TV series director who wants to use your "Mortal Song" as the theme song. I need to discuss related matters with you. I don't know if you
It’s inconvenient”
Zhu Yonghe is very familiar with the copyright operation business. He quickly gave a rough overview of the relevant things on the phone. Of course, more details will need to be negotiated in person and a contract signed.
At the same time, Zhu Yonghe also proposed a work copyright agency agreement to Chen Feng. With this agreement, New Starting Point of Music will fully participate in the copyright operation, promotion and protection of Chen Feng’s works. They will participate in the TV series with Chen Feng.
During group negotiations, he helped Chen Feng get more rights and interests.
In addition, they will vigorously market and promote Chen Feng's works. At the same time, they will also actively participate in rights protection actions to protect the copyright rights of Chen Feng's works.
Of course, the premise that New Starting Point of Music is willing to do so much work is that they want to take away 30% of the copyright income from Chen Feng’s works!
"Thirty percent, that's a bit much." Chen Feng thought for a moment and finally rejected Zhu Yonghe's proposal.
Zhu Yonghe suddenly became anxious, and he immediately said that the specific share ratio could be discussed later, and if Chen Feng had any requirements, he could put them forward for negotiation.
Chen Feng thought seriously for a long time and finally proposed: "The copyright agency agreement can be signed, but New Starting Point of Music can only get 20%, and the agreement can only be for the work "Mortal Song", not for Chen Feng.
All future works of man.”
This requirement gave Zhu Yonghe a headache, and Chen Feng was very serious in his words. He would never sign the contract if these conditions were not met.
In the end, Zhu Yonghe could only say that he was going to ask higher leadership for instructions and would reply to Chen Feng as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, 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 but sigh: "Don't say 30%, even 20%, I think it's too high. It's not easy for you to write a song. Why should the website just take it away?"
many?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Twenty percent is actually acceptable. After all, as individuals, our abilities are limited and we will be very passive when negotiating copyrights with some big companies. If a big website like Music New Starting Point helps us negotiate,
The effect is better.”
An Ruohua curled her lips. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that what Chen Feng said made sense.
"The most important thing is that if some infringement occurs in the future, Music New Starting Point's legal system is much more powerful than our own. In the future, they will be the main force in protecting copyright income."
An Ruohua sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, who made us so weak?"
Chen Feng put his arm around An Ruohua's shoulders, tangled a few strands of her hair with his fingers, and said calmly: "Actually, if I really sign a contract with them, the most important thing for me is that I will avoid a lot of
Please don’t worry, I don’t have to go to battle personally if anything happens in the future. This way, I can have more time to create with peace of mind, and I can better accompany you to go shopping, go to the supermarket, cook, go for a walk, and do a lot of fun.
Looking at things like this, it’s worth giving out 20% of the profits, right?”
After An Ruohua heard this, her face turned red and she punched Chen Feng lightly.
"Humph, I don't need your company!"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Really? Without me, how can you be truly happy when doing things?"
