Hearing Le Yan take the initiative to mention the price of the song copyright, Su Tian said confidently:
"The copyright of Cantonese golden songs is very expensive, but not to such an outrageous degree. I have already found a purchasing channel here and the price has been negotiated."

At that time, "Sweet Honey" will be broadcast simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong, and Su Tian's task is to open up both the mainland and Hong Kong markets.

Le Yan and Bi Xia have a huge audience and a very high number of fans in the mainland, so the pressure on marketing is relatively small, it’s just a matter of becoming a hit, a huge hit, or a very big hit.

But they are both new faces in Hong Kong, and if they are not careful they will fail, so Su Tian plans to make a fuss about "nostalgia" and "sentiment" during the promotion stage, and purchasing Cantonese golden songs is a trick to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Old songs are like a glass of aged wine. He can do a lot of supporting publicity related to the TV series around these golden songs to attract the first wave of attention and then expand the pie slowly.

Before filming the TV series, Su Tian asked someone to inquire about the copyright prices of those well-known Cantonese golden songs. The price of each song is in the range of 30 to 80, which is much cheaper than the songs written by Le Yan.

He must be stupid to ask Le Yan to write an original work!

He also didn't believe that LeYan could write nostalgic Cantonese golden songs.

Child, do you know what a golden song is?
How can songs from this era compete with old songs that have been popular for decades?
Le Yan didn't explain much and started playing "What Do I Want in Life".

A nostalgic voice came to his ears. Le Yan held his head with both hands and leaned back on the sofa:
"I won't set the scenario for you this time. Just listen and see if you can associate any images with it."

Kong Chao couldn't put down the first two Mandarin songs, but he was also aware of the budget situation of the crew, so when the music sounded this time, he clenched his fist.

What kind of family do you buy whatever they like?
We can’t add any more pressure to Director Su. Even if we like him much, we can’t say a word!

Kong Chao entered the sage time after madness, but Su Tian’s climax moment arrived.

As an excellent commercial film director, the movies that accompanied Su Tian throughout his adolescence were all Hong Kong films. It was precisely because he was deeply influenced by those Hong Kong films that Su Tian embarked on the path of directing and remained committed to making commercial films.

The soothing melody of "What Do I Want in Life" made many characters from the glorious era of Hong Kong films in the early years flash before his eyes like a kaleidoscope. Each character was telling him their own love stories, whether warm or sad.

The sudden influx of a large number of images made Su Tian feel his eyes swollen and his head dizzy. These were all his youth.

Le Yan's voice sounded like the sound of nature in Su Tian's ears:

"Director Su, the high copyright price I mentioned is not the purchase price, but the profit price. The frequency of new releases in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very slow. Once these songs become popular, they will be sung for more than ten years or even decades. How much is that?"

Almost all TV drama and film crews require that the copyright of the soundtrack belongs to the project, so they can continue to make money as long as the song is sung.

Since LeYan is well-known in the musician circle and has a special status among superstars, he can own half of the copyright of the songs he writes for TV series and movies.

But half of it is worth a lot.

Director Su, have you ever heard this sentence?

Anything produced by Leyan must be of high quality!
As long as you and I work together, these songs can not only pay back the investment, but also make money!
Just tell me, have you made a lot of money?

Su Tian touched his bald and shiny head and was faced with a painful decision.

Although what Le Yan said was very convincing, there are too few crews that can make money by composing music. They are almost rare. Isn't this just a gamble?
At this moment, LeYan played the last song "Let Everything Go with the Wind" again.

"What Do You Want in Life" reminded Su Tian of many Hong Kong love-themed movies he had watched in his early years, and "Let Everything Go with the Wind" reminded him of a large number of classic movies with themes of the underworld.

Let everything go with the wind.
Understand, see through, let go, and be free.

Isn’t this the state of life he most longed for in his youth?
Su Tian, ​​in the past twenty years, which movie have you made that didn't involve walking on a tightrope?
Every time I think about it, I am gambling.
Just a few million, and you don't dare? !
And this is a song written by your brother LeYan. Do you not believe in his songwriting ability, or do you not believe in your own marketing ability?

What about the morality in your heart?
What is the Jianghu in your heart? ?

"Yes!" Su Tian patted the table solemnly, "Brother Le Yan, the crew wants all these music tracks. Let's work together to let the music and content of "Sweet Honey" be passed down forever!"

Le Yan held the director's hand and shook it vigorously:
"Thank you for your trust. The theme song will also be passed down forever. Directors, please rest assured that I will definitely make a masterpiece that will be popular in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong!"

When Le Yan first arrived in Hong Kong, Ni Zhen accompanied him. Later, Deng Xuefeng joined the group. The conditions there were extremely difficult. Even drinking hot water was a luxury. Someone had to take care of Deng Xuefeng's daily life.

The entire studio is dominated by women and lacks men. The only man who can be used is Ni Zhen. Deng Xuefeng is unwilling to let strangers get close to him, so the way to recruit people is blocked. Le Yan can only arrange for Ni Zhen to go and take care of him.

He eats well, sleeps well, and has fun in Hong Kong, and doesn't need anyone to take care of him at all.

Fortunately, Deng Xuefeng's time in the crew was not long. He left the crew and returned to Kyoto to rest and adjust in about a month. Ni Zhen also returned to Hong Kong again to accompany Le Yan to film.

The first thing Ni Zhen did when he came back was to follow Le Yan's arrangement and sign a song customization contract with the "Sweet Honey" crew as quickly as possible, pocketing the 720 million.

In fact, there is no need to be so anxious. The contract can be signed after the soundtrack and the TV series enter the post-production stage. However, Le Yan was afraid of more trouble, so he pushed both sides to get it done literally.

After pocketing 720 million, LeYan plunged headfirst into the creation of the theme song.

In fact, a few months ago, when he received the invitation from Peng Yiwei to write the theme song for his movie, he thought about abandoning the system and completing the song "originally".

Faced with almost the same situation again this time, Le Yan decided to accumulate insights and open the last blind box while relying on his own abilities to complete "Sweet Honey".

He remembered a small part of the melody and lyrics of the original song. With his current ability, it was not difficult for him to write a song called "Sweet Honey" that belonged to him.

A while ago, Le Yan went out to hang out as a revenge. In fact, he was tired of socializing a long time ago, and now he has serious matters to worry about, so after Ni Zhen returned to Hong Kong, Le Yan stayed in the crew every day to think about lyrics and melodies, and never went out again.

The two directors, who were already used to Le Yan's being away from home, had just gotten used to the rhythm when Le Yan changed his approach again, which left them confused again.

"Le Yan hasn't been out for a few days. Why doesn't he play anymore?"

"Is he in a bad mood? Or has something happened? I'm scared when he does this!"

"I'm scared too. I dreamt yesterday that he got tired of prostitution and gambling and started taking drugs. I woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't fall asleep again in the morning!"

Su Tian has been using popular artists for three consecutive years. He spent every time in fear before the release of his movie. He finally changed his track and came to TV dramas to live a peaceful life for a few days. Le Yan doesn't make him worry at all!
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

They would rather Le Yan go out and chat with the old lady every day than have him remain silent and have no idea what is going on in his mind.
"What should I do?" Su Tian sighed dozens of times every day.

A head-on confrontation definitely won't work.

The last time we had to use force to settle the issue, it cost 720 million. Now the crew can’t take out a penny and has to tighten their belts every day.

Kong Chao is in much better condition than Su Tian. After all, the budget does not come from his content.

If you are in good condition, you will be in a good mood.

When you are in a good mood, your brain becomes more active.

He tried hard to find out what had happened to Le Yan during this period, and wanted to analyze the reasons why he didn't go out to play through clues.

Suddenly, he exclaimed:
"Is he not going out to play after his agent comes back?"

Ni Zhen is such a big guy, and his appearance and dress are so distinctive, so it is very obvious whether he is there or not.

Kong Chao vaguely remembered that Le Yan had been well behaved since Ni Zhen appeared on the set again.

Su Tian took a breath of cold air:
"It seems so."

Are you afraid to go out and play because there are people watching you?
"If that's the case," Kong Chao frowned and said, "Le Yan is afraid of someone, but it's not us."

Su Tian nodded:
"You make sense." Kong Chao touched his chin and continued:
"Look at it from a positive perspective. LeYan is really honest now. But we must also be prepared for the worst, that is, he will try something else, something even worse than before!"

Su Tian recalled those anxious nights and shuddered as he said:
"We still have to stop him! We have to find someone he's afraid of to beat him up!"

Kong Chao sat up straight and asked tentatively:
"Ji Xueli?"

Ji Xueli is Le Yan’s old leader, so we have to give him some face, right?
Su Tian's status in Superstars is higher than Kong Chao's, so he is exposed to more information. He shook his head without further explanation:

"That's terrible. Ji Xueli's height is not enough."

I heard that Ji Xueli now has to act according to Le Yan's mood.

It’s hard to say who is afraid of whom.

Kong Chao suddenly clapped his hands:

"Ye Xinchun?"

Is the boss tall enough?
No matter how rampant Le Yan is, can he still ride on Ye Xinchun's head?
Su Tian shook his head again:

"It's too high. We can't move it."

He has been at Superstar for almost a year, and he has spoken no more than five sentences to Mr. Ye!
Can she obey us?
I can't even order Liu Min around!
Kong Chao sighed and slapped his thigh.

It can’t be too low, we can’t let Le Yan be scared.

It's like they're both useless.

It won't work if it's too high, they won't be able to control it.

This is really difficult for them.

After a few seconds, their eyes lit up at the same time, and they said in unison:

"Li Yiran!"

She is the right person for this job!
"Let Li Yiran scare Le Yan?" Kong Chao said with raised eyebrows.

I have met Li Yiran once and we also have contact information.

Should I go talk to her?

Su Tian said categorically:

"Can Le Yan be frightened by his lousy appearance? The emperor is far away, it would be best to let Li Yiran come to Hong Kong to watch over him!"

Your wife is by your side, so what else can you do?

"How can we get Li Yiran to come to Hong Kong?" Kong Chao kept shaking his head.

Li Yiran is so popular now, how can he come just like that?
Su Tian took a long breath, sucked his teeth and said:

"I'll go and think of a solution."

Not only Le Yan but Su Tian is also a shareholder of Superstar.

With power, everything is possible.

There are many couples in the entertainment industry.

However, there are almost no such combinations where one is a powerful queen of the music world and the other is a top-tier male artist in the entertainment industry.

Ever since Li Yiran and Le Yan announced their relationship, variety shows and brands have been chasing after this hottest couple in the entertainment industry like a blowout.

Le Yan often has to join a group. Except for occasionally flying to a superstar's variety show, he turned down all invitations and concentrated on improving his professional skills.

Li Yiran is a singer. Singers are only busy during the album production cycle and the concert tour cycle, and even during these two cycles, her time is relatively easy to adjust. So in the past few months, she has saved a lot of money and saved enough capital to marry a husband.

While LeYan was still gloating about earning 720 million, Li Yiran finished filming a variety show with a salary of 1720 million in just five days.

There is definitely no end to making money, but people need rest.

As soon as she rested, she began to think about her child husband who was not yet married.

You need a visa to go to Hong Kong, and a multiple-entry business visa is very troublesome to apply for. It is not as easy as meeting Le Yan when he is filming in China. You can fly to see him at night and fly away the next morning to do your own things. She hasn't seen Le Yan for two months.

The only comfort during this time is the video call every night.

Recently, Le Yan called her on video several times, but it was always very late, so late that Li Yiran had already fallen asleep, and the call had not come yet.

Li Yiran called him, but he didn't answer. It took a long time for him to get back the call.

Women’s sixth sense is the most accurate!

She felt that Le Yan must have something going on over there.

Before Ni Zhen returned to Hong Kong this time, Li Yiran made a special trip to meet him.

She asked Ni Zhen to go there and report on Le Yan's movements from time to time.

The information sent back by the traitor Ni Zhen also confirmed Li Yiran's guess.

He found that Le Yan secretly left the hotel one night, and he didn't know where he went. He asked Le Yan this question directly, and Le Yan denied that he did not go out, and was evasive at the time, as if he had done something wrong.
Li Yiran exploded on the spot. As there was no work for the next period of time, she asked Zhang Yan to prepare a business visa to Hong Kong.

Since Ni Zhen couldn't get the answer, she went to ask herself.

But it is not easy to get a visa, especially for Li Yiran. He did not want a 7-day visa, but a multiple-entry visa, which would take more than a week even if it was expedited.

Coincidentally, when looking for an agency to apply for a business visa, Superstar sent Zhang Yan a platform requirement.

That was a personal IP project planned by a short video platform, which allowed Li Yiran to go to Hong Kong for a few days and produce several travel-themed vlogs to be broadcast on the video platform.

Li Yiran, who has always been very picky about projects, agreed without even asking the price.

She had only one request - the project must be started immediately and she had to go to Hong Kong now.

After a day of coordination, Su Tian's team sent an invitation letter from Hong Kong to invite Li Yiran to enter the country. Superstar then borrowed the necessary shooting materials such as cameras and lights from Kong Chao's team and confirmed the shooting schedule as quickly as possible.

Just like that, the night before, Li Yiran was still saying to Le Yan, "It will take another month before we can meet again, it's too long 5555," and the next morning she showed up.

The moment he set foot on Hong Kong soil, Li Yiran coolly put on his sunglasses.

Le Yan, I'm here to pry your mouth open myself. (End of this chapter)
