The King of Crossover Entertainment

Chapter 138 0138, Request for help from Chen Cheng

In July every year, Magic City has gone through the unique plum rain season in the south. It has not yet entered the hot summer, and the climate is suitable. The weather is mainly sunny, the sun is shining, and the white clouds in the blue sky are endless. It is the city scenery of Magic City during the year. The most beautiful season.

Today is the beginning of the summer vacation at the Magic City Conservatory of Music, and it is also the day when final exam transcripts are issued.

"It's okay, it's okay. I only failed one subject. It scared me to death."

Xia Dachuan breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the transcript.

Li Junyi said with a half-smile: "Are you going to celebrate and treat us to a big meal?"

Xia Dachuan chuckled and said, "If you want to invite me, it should be Tianpeng. His first EP sold over 100,000 people on the first day."

Xiao Tianpeng also said very cheerfully: "No problem, Yipifang will start walking at noon, but..." He glanced at them and continued: "When did you buy your tickets to go home?"

Xia Dachuan said: "I bought it in the afternoon."

Li Junyi followed: "Xiaoxiao's school will have a holiday until the day after tomorrow, and we bought the tickets for the day after tomorrow."

At this time, the three people's eyes were all turned to Yunfeng.

However……

Yunfeng was drawing comics, and because he was too immersed in it, he didn't hear the chatting content of several people. However, he suddenly felt something strange, so he quickly stopped writing, raised his head, and said, "Ah... what's wrong?"

Xia Dachuan explained: "Tianpeng's EP is a hit, and he wants to invite us to Yipifang for lunch. I want to ask you, will it delay your return home?"

"Oh." Yunfeng replied without hesitation: "No delay, I haven't decided on a day to go home yet."

There is a celebration party held by Xianqi Magazine in the past two days, and he, as a shareholder, is going to attend, so he will have to postpone his return home for a few days.

Xiao Tianpeng heard this and said to several people: "Then I will call to reserve a seat, and also call all your girlfriends."

He was very happy today. As a new member, the sales of their first EP exceeded 100,000 on the first day, which was an above-average result. He was willing to treat them to ten meals, not to mention one meal.

Azure Music Group.

It was almost time to get off work, and Chen Cheng received a call from the president, asking him to come over.

"What could it be?"

Chen Cheng turned off the computer, got up and went to the president's office.

"Sit down." The president looked very polite.

Chen Cheng guessed that there must be something for him to do.

After a moment of silence, the president asked: "Did you know that our company has received an order for the theme song of the movie "Tiger Rose"?"

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I heard about it."

The president sighed and said, "The song was returned."

Chen Cheng didn't answer.

This matter should be brought to the attention of the lyrics and music department manager. What’s the use of asking him, the artist department manager?

He can't write songs.

etc.

Write songs.

not……

The president did not beat around the bush and said directly: "The lyrics and music department changed six versions, and they were not satisfied with them. So, I came to you to ask you if Yunfeng has any songs, or if it is possible to write one." head."

really.

Chen Cheng did not respond in a hurry.

Logically speaking, this is a matter of the lyrics and music department, and he should not get involved, but now that the president is personally involved, the nature is different.

After a few seconds of thinking, Chen Cheng asked: "Are the other party's requirements too high?"

The president smiled helplessly and said, "The producer is Guo Mingming."

Chen Cheng said with a strange expression: "It's him, no wonder."

Guo Mingming is a famous producer in the film industry and is famous for his extremely demanding requirements.

The order the company received was not easy to complete.

It is said that Guo Mingming returned the soundtrack of the movie "Golden Years" eleven times to his production company.

I guess the songwriters have gone crazy.

The president continued: "The three songwriters and two lyricists in our company have expressed their inability to do anything."

Chen Cheng asked tentatively: "What about outsourcing?"

Upon hearing this, the president said in a deep voice: ""Tiger Rose" is a big-budget movie with a famous director, a famous screenwriter, and famous actors. It will be a hit when it is released. How can we outsource the theme song to other companies? Ours didn't pass. , If others have passed, who will come to us in the future?”

This is true.

As a subordinate, Chen Cheng couldn't refuse the leader, so he could only agree: "I'll ask and see if it can be done, I can't guarantee it."

The president said with a smile on his face: "Our company is also a partner of Yunfeng, so it should be no problem to ask him for a favor."

Chen Cheng thought: That's not necessarily the case.

On the other side, Yunfeng and others had finished lunch and returned to the dormitory from Yipinfang.

As soon as he opened the door and entered, Yunfeng received a call from Chen Cheng.

"Xiaoyun, have you had lunch?"

"I just came back from eating."

Chen Cheng on the other end of the phone paused. He originally wanted to make an appointment to have lunch together and talk slowly, but now he didn't know how to continue.

Yunfeng thought it was because of poor signal and asked: "Brother Chen? What do you want to see me for?"

Chen Cheng thought that anyway, it is better to speak slowly than to speak quickly. He immediately said: "That's it, our company received the order for the theme song of the movie "Tiger Rose", and the lyrics and music department changed five or six versions. They were all returned, and there are only a few days left before the delivery time in the contract. The president really has no choice, so he asked me to ask you if you have any songs. "

This matter is not big or small.

Yunfeng was quite curious as to who could have such high demands and still not satisfied even after five or six revisions.

As for songs, he has two in his hand. Tang Yu originally gave them to Tan Hui, but Tan Hui didn't want them. One is "Because of Love" from the previous life on earth, and the other is "If" written by him and composed by Tang Yu. forget".

However, the theme song of the movie must be consistent with the main theme of the movie to enhance the micro-movie. Take "The Bodyguard" as an example. For a martial arts movie, you can't use Jay Chou's "Mojito" as the theme song. , it doesn’t match at all.

Actually, this was also the reason why Chen Cheng hesitated after hearing the CEO talk about it.

Geniuses are not gods. Do you really think writing songs is as easy as eating?

It is not easy to write a song with specific requirements in such a short period of time, and the other party is Guo Mingming who is extremely difficult to deal with.

"What kind of movie is this Tiger Rose?"

"A love movie, adapted from a romance novel, about..."

Yunfeng listened patiently to Chen Cheng.

This is a love story that is very common in movies and TV series. The male protagonist in college falls in love at first sight with the talented female protagonist from the same school. The male protagonist pursues her relentlessly, but the female protagonist is very bored. An innocent relationship Campus love quietly grew, but after graduation due to family reasons, the male protagonist went to study abroad. Five years later, he returned to China and met the woman who could not be forgotten again. This couple had broken up for five years, and what stood between them was The various grievances between the two families many years ago did not make the lovers who broke up continue to miss each other. On the contrary, through various misunderstandings and practical tests, they got to know each other's love for each other better over the years.

Party A's request is very simple, just to be full of hope for love.

But often the simpler the request, the harder it is to achieve it.

However, Yunfeng feels that the two songs "Because of Love" and "If You Forgot" are consistent with the theme of this "Tiger Rose".

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he paused and said, "Xiaoyun, it doesn't matter if there is no song."

Yunfeng smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you are lucky. I happen to have two love songs in my hand. As for whether they can be used as theme songs, I don't know."

Chen Cheng held the phone, opened his mouth wide, and was stunned.

this……

Really lucky?

Yunfeng asked a question that concerned him: "Brother Chen, what's the price?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Fifty thousand, this... theme songs for movies and TV series are generally not very expensive. I read the contract and this is the price I was given."

Yunfeng asked again: "Is the copyright bought out?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Yes."

Yunfeng said bluntly: "The price is too low. My two songs, "Sword Like a Dream" and "Swordsman", were only licensed for commercial use in the web drama and movie "The Bodyguard", which cost 100,000. "

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will go to the president to discuss it and see what the specific results will be. I will tell you later."

"Okay." Yunfeng said again: "Brother Chen, let me send you two songs."

"Yeah." Chen Cheng responded: "This couldn't be better."

Once you have the song, it will be much better to ask for a price.
