Chapter 52: Insincere Plan
The aroma of the tea is strong but not greasy, making people have endless aftertastes.
Du Caige stared at the tea soup and didn't seem to hear Cheng Mingming's words.
Cheng Mingming did not ask any further questions.
While drinking tea, the two listened to the Dahua-style classical music played in the teahouse. Although they each had their own thoughts, under the influence of this tea and this music, their thoughts gradually faded, and they became forgetful and worry-free.
Cheng Mingming said something in a row.
There are short-term talents in the entertainment industry, and some are short-term parents of herself and Jiang Youxi.
It was as if she was really Du Caige's good friend, drinking tea and chatting about everyday things together.
In the dim light, Cheng Mingming seemed to have been filtered by a beauty filter, the flaws were hidden, the contours of his cheeks were hazy, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
The whole person has suddenly changed from an ordinary beautiful and beautiful to a mature beauty.
But Du Caige didn't look at her any more because of this.
The body was always straight, and did not lean in Cheng Mingming's direction.
Lin Xiangyun came over to add water twice. After sitting for more than an hour, the two got up and left.
Cheng Mingming was actually a little surprised. According to rumors, Du Caige was supposed to be the reincarnation of a hungry ghost in color, "a living creature that can walk".
However, from the perspective of getting along today, Du Caige does not match the rumors.
He was not as vulgar and ill-mannered as rumored, but his eyes were clear and polite to himself.
She sent Du Caige home and never mentioned cooperation again.
She didn't mention it, it doesn't mean Du Caige forgot.
The next day, when Du Caige and Xie Jinyu's cousin Xie Yunzi met, they were still thinking about Cheng Mingming's words.
Du Caige is not disgusted with the proposal to cooperate with Jiang Youxi.
It's just... what is the identity of the original owner, and why does Cheng Mingming ask for cooperation?
Could it be that the original owner is not actually an idol artist, but has also written songs and is known as a creative musician?
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Cheng Mingming wants him to cooperate with Jiang Youxi.
But what are the works of the original owner? But he used Bailing search engine to check his name "Du Caige" and found nothing of value.
Even if the original owner has been in the entertainment industry, he still uses a pseudonym.
...
"Cough cough!" Xie Yunzi cleared her throat and pulled Du Caige back to the moment.
Du Caige showed an apologetic smile, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "Xiao Xie, let me tell you the truth, I have a song that suits your style. And I'm confident that it will be a classic."
Xie Yunzi nodded with a gesture she thought was elegant, her pointed chin slightly retracted.
Before she came, she thought she would be stared at with disgusting eyes. After all, this person's reputation was not good.
But fortunately, it may be because he has experienced huge setbacks and his personality has changed.
"Brother Du is really amazing. What we need to talk about now is the price. Also, is there a demo of that song for me to listen to?"
Du Caige said, "No."
Xie Yunzi showed a hint of displeasure. She is three points more beautiful than Xie Jinyu, and she also knows how to make up.
Although he is not very old, it is estimated that he is only 18 or 9 years old, but he uses makeup to cover up his youthfulness, making him look beautiful and generous, and at the same time full of girlishness. And her figure is also very proud, people will unconsciously overestimate her age by two years.
She is wearing a brown windbreaker, which is difficult to control, but it is estimated that she is very confident in her fair skin, and it turns out that this windbreaker suits her very well.
The place where the two were at this time was a teahouse picked by Xie Yunzi, not the one owned by Mr. Huo Yanying.
The atmosphere here is more modern, and the music played is mostly pop music.
Luckily no rock was played.
If you listen to rock while drinking tea,
It tastes simply.
Du Caige said: "However, I wrote this song down, you can take a look. If necessary, I can also accompany you with a guitar. You can try to sing it."
"Ning...Xia?" Taking the paper that Du Caige handed over, Xie Yunzi couldn't help but complain about the inexplicable name just after taking a look.
Looking further down, she tapped softly on the table with her soft little hands, and tried to hum a few words: "The quiet summer, the sky is full of stars. There are some thoughts in my heart, I miss your face..."
"It was a quiet summer, the day you came to Ningxia. I knew I also slept, I slept peacefully, in my heart, a quiet summer..."
She nodded and quickly looked up at Du Caige: "It's a good song."
Not bad, she thought, but to say it's a classic? This senior must be too conceited. There are so many good songs, how many can become classics?
"800,000, buy out this song, okay?"
This price, frankly speaking, is much higher than Du Caige imagined.
But think about it again, Azure Star Dahua Kingdom's protection of copyright is very strict, close to the level of the Earth's Cherry Blossom Country, so the price of a good song will naturally be much higher.
But he never thought about selling it, it would be like killing a chicken that can lay golden eggs. He was interested in something else. "Buyout is impossible, only authorization. Authorize you to perform this song, and I want to sell it."
Xie Yunzi frowned.
It's full of girlishness, like a junior high school girl making a small temper with her tablemate.
"Brother Du," Xie Yunzi raised her voice, her waist stood up, and her momentum strengthened, "The buyout fee I gave is high enough, and it's sincere enough!"
"I said, buyout is impossible." Du Caige picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly.
Xie Yunzi tilted her head and thought for a while, then looked down at the lyrics and songs of "Ningxia", as if singing silently in her heart. "How much do you want?"
Du Caige took another sip of tea and smacking his lips: "One percent."
Xie Yunzi's breathing stopped, her face blushed, and she seemed to be angry.
Du Caige still finished his words: "I only need 10% of the physical album. But the sales of the digital version will cost 150%. In addition, I want 30% of the color ringtones, licensed to KTV, and other commercial purposes. As for you If you sing this song at a commercial performance, for your sister's sake, there will be no extra charge, only the Dahuaguo Copyright Association will collect it on my behalf according to the customary ratio."
Xie Yunzi's voice was originally very nice, like an oriole, but now it has become cold, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Brother Du, your plan doesn't seem to be sincere." People, full of lyrics and music, can get a share of 2% to 5%. Du Caige asked for 10% when he opened his mouth, it was really...
Du Caige shook his head and said nothing.
The song "Ningxia" may not be the most classic one, but it is also highly sung, and the lyrics and music are excellent. He doesn't think it's too much to ask for a share of this proportion.
Good songs and good singers are mutually successful.
Of course, in the eyes of fans, it is the singer who plays a bigger role.
But in the eyes of professionals, it is naturally the song itself that plays a greater role.
You, Zhou Jie, can sing Qilixiang, but Chen Yixun can't sing.
You Qu Wating can sing "in my voice", is it only you who can do it, others can't?
The attitude of those top singers in the entertainment industry towards a good song is:
This song is so good, I want to sing it.
This song is sure to catch fire, I want to sing it.
For good songs, they are rushing for it, lest they be half a step behind.
Because they know that a good song can make them successful, and it can also create powerful opponents for them to compete for and erode their resources.
Of course, the song of Ningxia is not to say that it can achieve the level of a singer and a queen.
But Xie Yunzi is a trainee who hasn't debuted yet. Songs of Ningxia's level are absolutely enough for her. They can instantly make her famous and recognizable, making her a rookie singer with outstanding masterpieces.
Just seeing Xie Yunzi's chest rise and fall violently, she seems to be angry, and the already high parts are even more exaggerated.
Du Caige thought for a while, considering the relationship between Xie Jinyu and Du Ranqi's best friends, he still took a step back: "The share I want can be greatly reduced, but in that case, it is not an exclusive license to sing for you, and I can authorize others in the future. Singer to sing this song."
He also said that he was the brother of my sister's best friend, but the lion opened his mouth, thinking that I was a newcomer and was easy to bully! shameless! When I become famous, I will definitely expose this incident and let everyone see your face! Xie Yunzi resisted the urge to pour tea on Du Caige, and said coldly, "I thought about it, and I don't think it's very suitable."
