Entertainment: Becoming a superstar from the yearning

10 minute later.

Ye Chen looked at the contract in his hand, and his mind was already wandering.

If not, is it a gift?

The contract was densely packed with words, a total of more than ten pages. He didn't study law, and he didn't have an assistant. Looking at these rules and regulations was really a headache.

The only thing I can understand is the price of the song, tens of thousands.

Is it too much?

Ye Chen felt that there were quite a lot. When he was studying in Beijing Film Academy, many students in his class relied on writing songs to earn living expenses, so he had some understanding of the price of songs.

As far as he knows, a song can usually be sold for several thousand to tens of thousands. At the highest, he has seen a classmate in his class who sold for [-]. At that time, he was so envious.

For composing music, the price is much lower, most likely half of the price for composing lyrics.

The teacher at the university also talked about the reason, mainly because a song needs to be arranged in addition to writing lyrics and music.

Composing music is simple and doesn’t cost much, while composing music can easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions. It’s okay to sell the music after the music is completed, but if it doesn’t sell, it will rot in your hands. Students can’t afford such a high risk.

And those arrangers with low investment and low quality can only play the role of practice, and buyers will not buy them if they don't like them.

Then, after the record company or an individual buys the lyrics and music, they have to re-arrange the music before releasing it. For the sake of overall integration, the lyrics generally remain unchanged or slightly changed, but the composition needs to be overhauled or even redone according to the style, so The composition is basically based on the good face of the lyrics.

In addition to this, there is another factor.

Under normal circumstances, the production of songs is to compose the music first and then fill in the lyrics. Only a few of them are on the contrary. The teachers in the school teach them to create with the former idea, after all, it is popular.

In this case, some students only compose music without writing lyrics. If they rely on music alone, the price will definitely not go up.

Seeing Ye Chen staring at 10 yuan in a daze, Ms. Hong said unhappily: "[-] yuan is a lot, young people, don't get too high-spirited. In the end, the bamboo basket will be empty."

Since Zhou Huajian only told her that there was a good song on the phone, the contract she prepared was only a contract to buy the lyrics, and the 10 yuan was given to Zhou Huajian for his sake.

Ye Chen's behavior at this time, in her opinion, is a lack of human will.

"It's quite a lot." Ye Chen agreed.

Compared with a classmate whose composition sold for 10 to [-] yuan, Ye Chen's [-] yuan was not only a lot, but also very high.

However, "Friends" is a golden song, and 10 yuan is not worth mentioning in front of a golden song. Besides, apart from writing lyrics...

Ye Chen pointed to the [-] yuan in the contract and said, "If you add the composition and arrangement, how should the price be calculated?"

Ms. Hong said without thinking, "We don't want the composition and arrangement."

In addition to Zhou Huajian, the veteran star, Ms. Hong also has many new artists. In order to test the ability of newcomers to attract fans, she has collected many songs, including songs written by students like Ye Chen who are in the internship period or who have just graduated.

Those songs, apart from the good lyrics, the composition and arrangement can't be said to be barely passable, it's just a mess.

So now Ms. Hong has learned to be smart. As long as the songs are not particularly perfect, she only buys the lyrics, and then hand them over to the professionals in the company.

"Then I won't sell it."

Ye Chen pushed back the contract, no matter whether it was a gift or a sale, he had to guarantee the integrity of the song.

The cooperation talk collapsed, Zhou Huajian looked a little ugly, it was his idea to buy the song, and the price offered by the company was not bad, if Ye Chen said less, he could make up for it himself, but Ye Chen asked him to complete the composition and arrangement.

The lyrics of "Friends" are good, otherwise Zhou Huajian wouldn't be so anxious to make Sister Hong come all the way, but the composition and arrangement... To be honest, Zhou Huajian is not too optimistic about Ye Chen.

It is not easy for a newcomer to be able to write lyrics that make him feel ashamed. If Ye Chen's composition and arrangement are equally good, to put it bluntly, Ye Chen has already become famous in the circle, and he will have to wait until Now?

Every year, so many singers buy finished golden songs at high prices, but suffer from the fact that there is no price in the market, and in the end they can only be lost to everyone. Isn't it because good songs are hard to find and good songs are hard to compose?

"Discuss again?" Zhou Huajian looked at Ye Chen, hoping that he could take a step back.

"Absolutely impossible!" Ye Chen refused without hesitation, and said sincerely: "Brother Hua, the price is easy to negotiate, and I can give it to you, but the composition and arrangement must be done by myself!"

Well, it's tantamount to talking for nothing!

Zhou Huajian rolled his eyes, "Well, let's go eat first, and then talk slowly."

Looking at the others, "I'm going to book a table, everyone?"

"Okay, okay, I'm going!" Zhang Zifeng was the first to register by raising his hand.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng's excited appearance, Huang Lei sighed slightly, reluctantly said: "I'll go too, a free prostitution meal is the second priority, the main reason is to help Ye Chen close the contract by the way."

"Brother Lei, you stole my lines." Zhou Xun pretended to be angry, and signed up to join the cooking army.

The rest of the guests, including Wang Zhengyu, also agreed to participate in the dinner with hesitation, but the person involved, Ye Chen, said: "When it comes to dinner, why don't I take everyone to a place."

"Okay, then I will arrange it for you." Zhou Huajian smiled.

He doesn't care about the quality of the food, the food is fake, and the focus is on negotiating the contract through the wine bureau.

Zhang Zifeng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up slightly, "Are you going there?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded, and led the way side by side with Zhang Zifeng.

The others followed behind and talked with each other about their future work plans, only Huang Lei was sullen and silent.
