Zhu Yonghe's reply came faster than expected. Chen Feng and An Ruohua had just finished lunch when the call came in.
"Mr. Chen, the company has agreed to your request. If it is not convenient for you this afternoon, can you come to the company to sign a contract?"
Chen Feng thought for a while and realized that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he agreed.
By signing a copyright agency agreement with Music New Starting Point earlier, Music New Starting Point will be able to help him negotiate with the TV series crew.
This is a good thing!
Zhu Yonghe was also very happy. Originally, he thought that Chen Feng's request was a bit excessive and that the senior leaders might not approve it. However, he did not expect that several leaders only discussed it for ten minutes and approved this unique contract.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The song "Mortal Song" is so good that the leaders thought they could allow Chen Feng to modify the contract!
What's more, since Chen Feng can write "Mortal Song", it is possible for him to write better works in the future. In any case, there is nothing wrong with establishing a good relationship with Chen Feng first.
Even if Chen Feng does not release songs from New Starting Point of Music in the future, relying on the favor of this copyright agency contract for "Mortal Song", there will always be opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng and An Ruohua came to the headquarters of Music New Starting Point Company together.
The headquarters is located in the Xinqidian Building on the North Third Ring Road in Kyoto City. It is not too far away and can be reached in ten minutes by taxi.
An Ruohua also followed. After all, signing the contract was very important, and she had to stay with Chen Feng.
When they arrived at the New Starting Point Building, a vice president of the company took Zhu Yonghe downstairs to greet him. After seeing Chen Feng, the other party came up to shake hands and say hello warmly.
"This is Mr. Cheng of the company, who is in charge of content. Mr. Cheng likes your "Mortal Song" very much." Zhu Yonghe introduced from the side.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Chen Feng shook hands with the other party, his expression calm and indifferent.
Mr. Cheng is probably in his forties. He is in good shape and looks energetic.
"Hello, Chen Feng, I didn't expect you to be so young. It turns out that a hero comes from a young age!"
The two parties exchanged a few polite words and then went to the conference room upstairs.
The contract had already been prepared. Chen Feng and An Ruohua each read it twice and found nothing wrong with it.
Chen Feng signed his name cleanly and neatly.
"Happy cooperation!" Zhu Yonghe smiled happily.
The conversation that followed became much more relaxed. Mr. Cheng talked about the upcoming promotion plan for "Mortal Song" and asked Chen Feng if he had any new works. With Zhu Yonghe on the sidelines, the atmosphere was pleasant.
Quite pleasant.
Half an hour later, Mr. Cheng left due to official business, and Chen Feng also stood up and left.
However, Zhu Yonghe stopped him again.
"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. Around four o'clock, people from the TV series crew will come over to talk about buying songs. If possible, I hope you can attend in person."
Chen Feng was stunned and said with a smile: "Haha, your timing is really accurate. After signing the contract with me, I immediately went to talk to the TV series team. The connection was perfect."
Zhu Yonghe chuckled and said a little embarrassedly: "There is no way, the company needs us to deliver performance, besides, this is not a bad thing, we will help you negotiate, you just need to listen, leave those nonsense to us
If you do it, you will be left with a lot of trouble."
"That's right." Chen Feng nodded indifferently: "Then let's wait for a while."
While waiting, several company staff members secretly came to Chen Feng to ask for his autograph, which made Chen Feng feel dumbfounded.
When I was the bassist in the band Hengyu, some loyal fans asked them for autographs, but the most popular ones at that time were lead singer Zhen Jian and guitarist Yang Luo. He, bassist and drummer Zhang Yu were both the easiest.
Ignored existence.
Fortunately for Zhang Yu, he looks very cool and his drumming skills are also very handsome. Occasionally, some fans like him, but Chen Feng is almost completely ignored by no one. Who makes his bass the least present, and he looks so handsome?
It's a little too mediocre.
Therefore, Chen Feng felt a little happy when he saw that fans actually came to him.
"Wow, you are Chen Feng. You are so young. I thought that the person who could write "Mortal Song" must be a middle-aged uncle who has seen through the world of mortals." A little girl who looked like she had just graduated and started working, blushed and handed over
Gave Chen Feng a notebook.
Chen Feng shrugged and signed his name smoothly.
"Thank you, could you please give me your contact information?" The little girl's face turned redder.
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I can't, but I can give you my girlfriend's phone number. If you need anything, you can contact her."
Chen Feng glanced at An Ruohua, who was looking at him warily.
Hearing this, the little girl was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and left quickly.
"Hey, I didn't expect that your love luck is quite good now," An Ruohua teased.
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her: "Don't make trouble, I don't care about these romantic opportunities. Didn't you see? I've already passed them on to you."
"Bah, I'm not surprised either!" An Ruohua shook her head: "But don't always reject your fans so bluntly in the future. After all, they are your fans, and you have to consider other people's feelings. You know, in entertainment
Circle, fan management is a very important matter."
"It's boring, I'm too tired." Chen Feng shook his head repeatedly.
We waited until around 4:30 when the TV crew finally showed up.
Because of being late, Zhu Yonghe first apologized to Chen Feng and An Ruohua, and then led the two of them to a larger conference room.
As soon as she walked in, An Ruohua was stunned because she actually saw two people she knew.
One is a well-known director, Lin Ming, who is also the director of the TV series she is about to audition for!
The other one is Su Jinxiu, a popular actress in the film and television industry who lives in the same community as her!
How come they are here?
Wait, is it possible that the TV series crew that wants to buy "Mortal Song" is the one that Lin Ming is about to film?
What a coincidence!
Feeling An Ruohua's strangeness, Chen Feng took her hand and asked nervously: "An An, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Hearing Chen Feng's voice, Lin Ming and Su Jinxiu also turned around.
When she saw An Ruohua and Chen Feng, Su Jinxiu laughed first.
"Haha, what a coincidence, it's you!"
"I see, I didn't expect that we all are so destined!"
After listening to Su Jinxiu's explanation, Lin Ming realized that Chen Fengan Ruohua actually lived in the same community as her, and the two parties had even met.
Although An Ruohua had calmed down her emotions at this time, she was still a little agitated.
"Sister Su, it turns out that you noticed us that day, hahaha, that's great. In fact, I also recognized you that day, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't dare to say hello to you. I didn't expect to meet you again today.
Wow, that's great, I really like the scene you filmed!" An Ruohua sat next to Su Jinxiu and said very happily.
"Really? Thank you for liking me. In fact, you are also good at acting. You are very serious and have great potential. Keep working hard!" Su Jinxiu took An Ruohua's hand and said.
The two women soon started chatting, and they became more and more enthusiastic. They seemed to have endless things to say, and they didn't know how they, two new acquaintances, could talk so well.
With this special relationship, the subsequent negotiations were much simpler. Lin Ming directly asked his assistant to discuss the specific copyright purchase details with Zhu Yonghe, while he himself chatted with Chen Feng.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so young. When I listened to "Mortal Song" for the first time, I thought the author was an old guy who was nearly fifty years old. But it turned out that you are young. It's incredible. It's incredible that you are like this.
Such talent and talent are truly rare in the world!”
Hearing that Lin Ming, a great director, spoke so highly of himself, Chen Feng felt ashamed.
"Director Lin has received the award. For things like songwriting, it all depends on inspiration. When the inspiration comes and the emotion arrives, things will come out naturally. I dare not say what kind of talent it is."
"Well, you are so humble that you will be formidable in future generations!"
Lin Ming was silent for a moment, and then continued with a smile: "Actually, I came here to talk about the theme song in person this time, just because I wanted to get to know you, the author of "Mortal Song". I like this song very much, but...
A TV series cannot only have one theme song, but also needs many interludes and soundtracks. My idea is, since you can write a classic work like "Mortal Song", can you help write some songs of the same level? Don't worry, the price is
I won't treat you badly."
Chen Feng didn't expect that Lin Ming would actually ask for help writing new songs. He thought for a moment and said: "Director Lin, writing songs really depends on inspiration, and there is no guarantee that the songs will reach a certain level.
, but I can give it a try, but I don’t know, Director Lin, do you have any requirements? For example, the style of music? Or the theme?"
Hearing Chen Feng's answer, Lin Ming's eyes lit up and he said: "I don't understand the style of music, and I don't make any requirements. You can just use it according to your own ideas. As for the theme, I do have two very important themes here."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ming said slowly: "The first theme is reunion after a long absence. In the plot of my TV series, the hero and heroine will be forced to separate for a period of time, and then reunite again in the end. What I want is that kind of
When we are about to meet, I feel calm yet nervous, expectant yet fearful, familiar yet unfamiliar. I don’t know if you can understand the feeling.”
Chen Feng nodded and said, "I can understand."
"Very good!" Lin Ming became more excited.
"The second theme is confusion. I hope there is a song that can describe the emotion of a person wandering alone on the street after failure, looking at the bustling city, confused, hesitant, lost, but unwilling to accept it.
The song is very important, because it will be the emotional foreshadowing of the protagonist's comeback. Can you feel this feeling?"
Chen Feng nodded again and said, "I can understand."
Lin Ming was stunned for a moment and looked up at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng's eyes were serious and his attitude was sincere.
