I am really a language teacher
Chapter 124: Talking about the Queen of Heaven
"Hey, you still know how to go home?" Sun Ping finally rushed back during Sunday dinner.Father Sun, who hadn't seen Sun Ping for dinner for a long time, couldn't help but said. "I thought you were going to settle down in No. [-] Middle School? Other people's children work outside, so it's fine if we don't see each other a few times a year. Fortunately, you work in a city, and we can't see each other a few times."
Hearing Father Sun's complaint, Sun Ping was also a little embarrassed.Fortunately, Guo Yi and Aunt Guo were coming out with dishes, and Aunt Guo quickly smoothed things over and said, "Don't mention it, you seem to eat dinner at home every day. You are all people with careers, and it's okay if you can't take care of your family occasionally. But don’t feel wronged yourself outside. By the way, Sun Ping, don’t you have a lot of girls teachers in your school? Have you taken a fancy to them? If you have a fancy, when will you take them home for a meal and let your father also Look."
Sun Ping suddenly didn't know how to answer the conversation, and saw Guo Yi's narrow eyes.Now Guo Yi writes at home with peace of mind. In addition to continuing to serialize on the Internet, he has also started to contribute to magazines.Don't look at Guo Yi's serialization of romance novels on the Internet, but after writing full-time, Guo Yi also expanded his themes to popular themes such as fairy tales and cities.
Guo Yi, who used to be not slow in coding, now chooses to double open on the Internet, and at the same time contributes to some popular fiction magazines, so the income from the remuneration is quite good, not inferior to when he was a teacher.Aunt Guo and Father Sun saw that Guo Yi could support themselves by writing novels, so they didn’t ask Guo Yifei to find a permanent job. Freelancing is also good.
After dinner, Sun Ping went back to his study to find some information, how to talk with Zhang Weiran.And Guo Yi was also painting and drawing in the study, Sun Ping glanced at it, Guo Yi seemed to be talking about illustrations.Sun Ping remembered that Guo Yi also took art classes in high school before, but in the end he did not take the college entrance examination as an art student, but entered the university as an ordinary high school student.Although many years have passed, Guo Yi's painting disciples are still there.Guo Yi's illustrations are in the style of girl comics, which are naturally dreamlike.Sun Ping curled his lips. After all, as a boy, it was difficult for him to appreciate this girlish style of painting.
As if seeing Sun Ping's curled lips, Guo Yi said with a smile: "No way, this is to help me draw illustrations for my own novels. You also know that the collections of novels I publish here are all romance novels. Girl readers, naturally want this style of painting."
Hearing what Guo Yi said, Sun Ping seemed to think of something, "Do you want to draw manga?"
"Drawing comics?" Guo Yi frowned, "What's so good about drawing comics? I don't want to be so depraved."
In fact, it is no wonder that Guo Yi looks down on the cartoons of the Cathay Kingdom and even the entire Shuilanxing, because the line of Shuilanxing's comics circle is very strange.About 50% of Shui Lanxing's comics are adapted comics, that is, the original novels are adapted into picture form.Moreover, unlike the cartoons on the Earth plane, which have sub-cameras, the comics on the Water Blue Star plane are more like comic books.Because it is an adaptation of comics, the income of a cartoonist is generally only 80 yuan for a black and white picture, and [-] yuan for a color picture, which is ridiculously low.
The remaining [-]% of the so-called original comics follow the "pornographic" and "bloody" adult sensory route. Although the income of cartoonists will increase a little, it is not a good thing for the character of cartoonists.Thinking of this, Sun Ping also knew that Shui Lanxing's manga would be considered ruined, unless someone could start a new school and copy the manga from the Earth plane.As if in a flash of inspiration, Sun Ping suddenly said, "What do you think of such cartoons?" After speaking, Sun Ping drew on a piece of white paper.
Because Guo Yi followed the girlish style of painting, Sun Ping also imitated the girlish style of painting "Tokyo Babylon" by the famous clamp aunties on the earth plane. The story of "Tokyo Babylon" is considered a short novel, because it is the prequel of "X-men" after all, so there is not much content.But after all, it is a god-level work. The gorgeous painting style, wonderful storyboard, and twists and turns of the story still fascinated Guo Yi immediately.Although Sun Ping didn't draw all of them, Guo Yi has already seen the characteristics of this kind of cartoon. "It's a bit like a movie, but it tells a story in a still picture. But it requires stricter handling of lines and shots." Guo Yi commented, "If it's a cartoon like this, I think it might change Many people's reading habits."
Sun Ping didn't answer Guo Yi's words, he seemed to grasp something, but the inspiration went too fast.Sun Ping could only sigh secretly, and then said: "I'll go up and find Zhang Weiran, I have something to talk to her about."
"You haven't looked for her for a while, I thought there was something wrong with the relationship between you two." Guo Yi smiled strangely, "You won't really help me find a sister-in-law to come back? Tsk tsk, then our family can It's going to be fun."
"Well, she is also an ordinary person, not as high as you think." Sun Ping patted Guo Yi's shoulder, "I don't like her type of girl, and I haven't found anyone who can make my heart beat Woolen cloth."
"Whatever you say." Guo Yineng obviously didn't believe it, and Sun Ping left the study without explaining anything.
Sun Ping reckoned that not many people knew that Zhang Weiran was a tenant in this community. During the time Tianhou lived alone here, no reporter discovered this secret base at all.In this regard, Sun Ping can only admire Zhang Weiran and her manager for being geniuses, able to hide this group of paparazzi for such a long time.But thinking about Zhang Weiran's star development, one knows that she and her manager are indeed not simple people.
Zhang Weiran was born in a talent show, but at that time the talent show was called a singing competition.In the first year, Zhang Weiran narrowly lost before the finals; in the second year, Zhang Weiran won the championship with the help of her current agent, Ruan Ting.Then Zhang Weiran signed a contract with the local record company - Dadi Music.In the six years of Dadi Music, Zhang Weiran has jumped from being unknown to a little queen.If it wasn't for Zhang Weiran's mentor, Mo Jimin, who terminated the contract with Dadi Music, maybe Zhang Weiran would continue to stay at Dadi Music.However, Zhang Weiran followed Mo Jimin to join the international record company Jinghua Records, and set a record for the second highest signing fee at that time.
It is a pity that Mo Jimin died suddenly of myocardial infarction in the second year of Jinghua Records, so Zhang Weiran suddenly became embarrassed in the company. During the three-year contract, only two records were released in the first year, and then they were refrigerated for two years .Thanks to Ruan Ting's up-and-down efforts, Zhang Weiran was able to sign a contract with another international record company, Universal Records.During the time in the universe, Zhang Weiran gradually consolidated his godhead.
If it wasn't for the queen Wang Xialin not completely announcing her withdrawal from the music scene, Zhang Weiran would have announced that she would have taken over the scepter of the queen long ago.However, as Zhang Weiran's status consolidated, Zhang Weiran did not want to be positioned as a bitter singer by the company, so at the beginning of last year, he announced the establishment of Manghuang Music Studio and took the production rights of the record in his hands.But because of this, he also offended Huanyu Records. Under the suppression of Huanyu Records, Zhang Weiran had to hide in the small city of Taojiang City.
Before Sun Ping went up, he made a phone call with Zhang Weiran, and it happened that Zhang Weiran's agent, Ruan Ting, was also there, so the three drank red wine and chatted about gossip in the entertainment industry.Sun Ping suddenly answered, "Our Hurricane Culture also has Hurricane Music, are you interested?"
Zhang Weiran smiled but did not answer, but Ruan Ting took the topic, "Mr. Sun, although we are being suppressed by Huanyu Records now, you are not able to get involved. Now the sales of records are sluggish, and the key to record sales is It depends on the channel. How many of the four major record stores, Volkswagen, Guta, Tom Lee, and Ah Fu, can you shop? Wei Ran is the queen of heaven. Do special sales. Do you have the ability?"
Sun Ping was dumbfounded, their strength is indeed not in traditional music channels. "However, has Ms. Ruan Ting studied the latest global music and Aurora music industry reports this year? According to these professional reports, the sales of physical records are shrinking, while the sales of digital records are surging. Even in the physical record channel, the traditional Record stores are no longer the main sales channels. Instead, bookstores, supermarkets and newsstands have become the main sales channels for physical records. It is true that we have not developed channels for traditional record stores, but our five major domestic supermarkets have sales agreements, and we Newsstands in major cities across the country also have chain sales agreements, and several major chain bookstores also cooperate with us. Most importantly, we have in-depth cooperation with Banana Music and Firefly Music, two major online music source differentiation channels. If If Zhang Weiran is willing to come over, we guarantee that the courtesy she enjoys will not be lower than that of Huanyu. And most importantly, we are willing to share the music copyright with Zhang Weiran."
Zhang Weiran and Ruan Ting were immediately refreshed when they heard the word "shared music copyright".The copyright of music is different from the copyright of general works. It is divided into two parts.Part of it is the copyright of the song and lyrics, which generally belong to the composer and lyricist, and of course it may be bought out by the record company; the other part is the copyright after the finished music is produced, which belongs to the arranger, producer and others. Singer all.
Lyricists and composers are actually the coolest. No matter how many times the music is sold or adapted, they can share and participate in decision-making.But arrangers, producers and original singers are not so lucky, and they only get paid when their versions are covered or performed.
So in the music circle, lyricists and composers are often the ones who live the most nourishing lives.For example, Huang Guolun on the earth plane, who has been unemployed for ten years and lost money because of his own record making, but because he has the copyright of the classic Chinese love song "I Do", he has not gone bankrupt at all except for embarrassment in the past ten years.On the contrary, Zhang Huimei, because the early music copyrights were all in the hands of the record company, not only had to face the attack of her old club every time she released a record, but also had to face the embarrassment of not being able to sing her old songs at the concert.That's why Zhang Weiran and Ruan Ting are so concerned about music copyright.
"This is all the songs on the next two albums we plan for Weiran." Sun Ping took out a stack of documents in order to intensify the negotiations. "We hope to use these two records to strengthen Zhang Weiran's position, and then help Zhang Weiran to transform."
Zhang Weiran took over the sheet music. Although she didn't want to sing love songs anymore, it didn't mean she wouldn't appreciate love songs.What Sun Ping took out was the classic love song of Zhang Huimei from the earth plane for several years. Because Zhang Huimei and Zhang Weiran have the closest voice conditions, Sun Ping thought of this Chinese queen.After Zhang Weiran read the score, the way he looked at Sun Ping completely changed.
Hearing Father Sun's complaint, Sun Ping was also a little embarrassed.Fortunately, Guo Yi and Aunt Guo were coming out with dishes, and Aunt Guo quickly smoothed things over and said, "Don't mention it, you seem to eat dinner at home every day. You are all people with careers, and it's okay if you can't take care of your family occasionally. But don’t feel wronged yourself outside. By the way, Sun Ping, don’t you have a lot of girls teachers in your school? Have you taken a fancy to them? If you have a fancy, when will you take them home for a meal and let your father also Look."
