Chapter 211 Violin

The yin-yang contract incident hit the entire entertainment circle like a tornado, but Liao Yuan, who was outside the center of the storm, was indifferent to it, and could not even arouse the slightest interest.

The impact of similar incidents in the previous life is almost the same as the current process, which may have caused panic among many people, but as a law-abiding and good citizen, Liao Yuan has no psychological burden, even though he once started a job for legal tax avoidance room, but everything is within the rules.

The concert tour is finally over, and a lot has happened in the busy month.

First of all, "Ghost Blowing Lantern" was published. Dong Ling, the deputy editor-in-chief of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, sent a short message saying that the fourth part of the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series "Kunlun Shrine" will be released soon. Liao Yuan was invited to participate in the signing event. Declined, but only promised to sign a thousand copies in private and sell it as a signed edition.

The copyright fee of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" has also been settled. The first volume of "Ghost Blowing Lantern", "The Ancient City of Jingjue", sold the most. From May this year to November now, in just six months, "The Ancient City of Jingjue" "The sales volume reached nearly 500 million copies, and the remaining two volumes also reached more than 300 million copies and more than 200 million copies. The total sales volume exceeded 1000 million copies. According to the 15% share, Liao Yuan's copyright fee will reach 700. ten thousand yuan.

High income and high taxes.

However, because it is a special type of cultural tax, there are special deductions and exemptions, so Liao Yuan received more than 3000 million taxes, and Liao Yuan's personal income after the meeting reached [-] and [-] million.

All of a sudden, so much money was paid for the manuscript, which made Liao Yuan's urgent heart calm down instantly, and he seemed to be able to do things with ease.

"There is one more thing to remind you."

During the phone call, Dong Ling said with a smile: "Multiple translations of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" have been produced. Because of the similar culture, the current focus is on Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese, and the printing of the English version is about to be scheduled. I have chatted with overseas colleagues, they are very optimistic about this kind of suspenseful novels about tomb robbery, and they are very likely to sell well, and because "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is a big hit in China, some people in the United States have already started to serialize this kind of tomb robbery on the Internet. They are like novels, but they have historical limitations and cannot be stolen, unlike our China, which has a long history, and if you jump into any pit, you may be able to dig a net emperor's tomb."

Liao Yuan was also a little surprised when he heard it. If tomb-robbing novels can become popular overseas, then the value of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is likely to be infinitely higher.

However, based on his previous life experience, Liao Yuan didn't have much expectation for this.

Two more days passed.

After nearly a month, the script and theme song of "The Phantom of the Opera" were finally completed.

After hearing about this incident, Zhou Yijun, director of the Kyoto Opera House, led a team to fly from Kyoto to the East China Sea to negotiate with Liao Yuan at the Little Yellow Fish Culture Company.

In the conference room, Zhou Yijun, who was full of great enthusiasm, was a little silent after reading the script of "Phantom of the Opera".

"Are you not satisfied?" Liao Yuan asked.

Zhou Yijun shook his head and said with a smile: "I am already very satisfied to have created a complete opera in such a short period of time."

Even though he said so, Liao Yuan could clearly see the disappointment in Zhou Yijun's eyes.

Liao Yuan thought for a while, turned on the phone, and played the theme song of "The Phantom of the Opera" that he had just finished.

Zhou Yijun was immediately attracted by the prelude to the music.

After the song was played, Zhou Yijun wiped his tears and said, "Master, Mr. Liao, you are really a master!"

This incoherent tone revealed Zhou Yijun's inner shock.

"When I first read the script, I felt that the storyline was a bit lacking and the logic was too simple. But after hearing the theme song and thinking about the whole story, I felt that the hero is really miserable and his life is too hard."

Zhou Yijun said with emotion: "Perhaps a more simple story can touch people's hearts more. The master taught me today, and I am the one who has learned the way."

Liao Yuan was a little baffled, he didn't say a word, this Dean Zhou imposed so many roles on himself!
Wonderful, wonderful!
Liao Yuan smiled and said: "Dean Zhou, the plot of "The Phantom of the Opera" is indeed weak. If you look at it from the current perspective, it is still a very bloody story with many contradictions. However, if you can combine the background of the story and the You can still feel some romanticism if you experience it through the way of expression, but if you can accept the setting of the script, it will be much more comfortable to appreciate."

When Zhou Yijun heard the words, he deeply believed it.

Liao Yuan said again: "This is a complete script. Since I'm busy with work, I only wrote a theme song with the same name. As for the singing part of the music of the male and female protagonists in the script, I need the teachers of the Opera House to do it for me. , I believe that the teachers are qualified for this job.”

Zhou Yijun smiled and said, "I will definitely live up to Mr.'s expectations."

Subsequently, the two parties signed a contract.

Since Liao Yuan is the creator and provider of the script and theme song, the opera house is willing to share 12% of the share, that is, every time a musical "Phantom of the Opera" is performed, 12% of the net profit will be lubricated to Liao Yuan. far on the books.

""The Phantom of the Opera" is too westernized, the country may not be acclimatized, and the box office may not be as expected."

Afterwards, Zhou Yijun said: "However, I will recommend this script to my colleagues overseas. As for whether it will be successful, it may not be guaranteed. Mr. Liao, I look forward to your follow-up work."

Liao Yuan quickly thanked him.

For him, "The Phantom of the Opera" is just an idle pen. It is good to have a brilliant success, but even if it fails, there is no need to be dejected. At least it has appeared in this world, and more such as "The Swan" Lake", "La Traviata", "Faust", "Country Knight", "Carmen", etc. If you want to erupt, it depends on Liao Yuan's mood.

After solving the trivial matters at hand, Liao Yuan also started to make his first music record after receiving calls from thousands of fans. He planned to organize the piano music he played in the past few months into a record for release.

At this moment, a person came to the door and asked for shelter.

This is a woman, wearing a black leather jacket, loose gray flared pants, and a pair of black and white classic sneakers, she looks like an ordinary college student.

She has waist-length hair, and her hair is parted in front of her forehead, showing a beautiful face.

She called herself Pei Hongyu and carried a violin case on her back.

When Chen Muen led her in front of Liao Yuan, he looked curious, but he didn't say anything. After making a cup of tea for the guests, he left straight away.

Liao Yuan looked at Pei Hongyu and looked through his resume. He is a graduate of the Department of Folk Music of the Central Conservatory of Music. Guanzi, sheng, suona, percussion...

Liao Yuan was a little dizzy. He closed his resume and asked, "Xiao Pei, have we met?"

"Yes." Pei Hongyu nodded, "When I was in Vienna, I was the one who played the bass flute that night. You also taught me a tune, which I still remember deeply."

Liao Yuan remembered, isn't this the lady in Hanfu!
He took off his clothes... Bah, I almost didn't recognize her in Hanfu.

Liao Yuan nodded and said, "It's "Opening the Sky", right? It's been so long, do you still remember it? Or do you just remember a few melodies?"

Pei Hongyu didn't speak. After a pause, she quietly opened the violin case, placed the whole body of the violin on her shoulders, fixed the resonance box slightly, picked up the bow, and played the sound quietly.

The magnificent and lonely music of "Opening the Sky" suddenly changed from the sound of the flute to the inherent sound of the violin.

Moreover, in addition to being more melodious, it also adds a lot of sadness.

This made Liao Yuan a little dazed.

The expressive power of the violin is second only to the piano, and it can render many scenes or emotions in a wide range. It can not only interpret the sadness like weeping, but also can be as intense as a storm on the sea, and can be more cheerful like a hare dodging and running wildly.

And Pei Hongyu's performance has reached the acme of Liao Yuan's imagination.
