The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 138 0138, Help from Chen Cheng
In July every year, Shanghai has passed the plum rain season unique to the south and has not yet entered the hot midsummer. The climate is suitable, the weather is mainly sunny and bright, and the white clouds are floating in the blue sky, changing endlessly. It is the most beautiful season of the year for Shanghai's urban scenery.

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

"Fortunately, fortunately, I only failed one subject. I was scared to death."

After seeing the transcript, Xia Dachuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Junyi smiled and said, "So are you going to celebrate and treat us to a big meal?"

Xia Dachuan chuckled and said, "If anyone wants to invite someone, it should be Tianpeng. His first EP sold over 100,000 copies on the first day."

Xiao Tianpeng also said very straightforwardly: "No problem, let's go to Yipinfang 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 up, "Xiaoxiao's school doesn't have a holiday until the day after tomorrow, so we bought our tickets for the day after tomorrow."

At this time, the three people's eyes were all cast towards Yunfeng.

however……

Yunfeng was drawing a comic, and because he was too absorbed in it, he didn't hear what the others were talking about. However, he suddenly felt something strange, so he quickly stopped drawing, raised his head, and said, "Ah...what's wrong?"

Xia Dachuan explained: "Tianpeng's EP is selling well, and he wants to invite us to Yipinfang for lunch. Let me ask you, will it delay your return home?"

"Oh." Yunfeng answered without hesitation: "No, I haven't decided when to go home yet."

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

Hearing this, Xiao Tianpeng said to the others, "Then I'll call to reserve a seat. Also, invite your girlfriends along as well."

He was very happy today. As a new group, their first EP sold over 100,000 copies on the first day, which was an above-average result. Let alone one meal, he would be willing to treat them even to ten meals.

Blue 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 seemed 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 received an order for the theme song for the movie Tiger and Rose?"

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

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

Chen Cheng didn't respond.

This matter should be addressed to the manager of the lyrics and music department. What's the point of contacting him, the manager of the artist department?

He can't write songs.

and many more.

Write songs.

not……

The president didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "The lyrics and music department changed six versions, and the other party was not satisfied with any of them. So, I asked you to come here to ask Yunfeng if he has any songs, or if it is possible to write one."

really.

Chen Cheng didn't respond in a hurry.

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

After a few seconds of thinking, Chen Cheng asked, "Is the other party's request 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, known for his extremely demanding requirements.

This order that the company has accepted is not easy to complete.

It is said that Guo Mingming returned the soundtrack of the movie "The Best of Times" to the production company eleven times.

I guess the composer went crazy with all the changes.

The president continued, "Our company's three composers and two lyricists have already said they can't do anything." Chen Cheng asked tentatively, "What about outsourcing it?"

Upon hearing this, the president said in a deep voice, "Tiger and Rose is a big-budget movie with a famous director, screenwriter, and actors. It will be a hit when it is released. How can we outsource the theme song to another company? If ours fails and others do, who will come to us in the future?"

This is true.

As a subordinate, Chen Cheng couldn't refuse his leader, so he could only agree: "I'll ask, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

The president said with a smile on his face: "Our company is Yunfeng's partner anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask him for a favor."

Chen Cheng thought to himself: That’s not necessarily true.

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?"

"Just came back from eating."

……

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

Yunfeng thought the signal was bad and asked, "Brother Chen? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Cheng thought that since he was going to talk anyway, he might as well say it quickly, so he said, "It's like this. Our company has received an order for the theme song for the movie Tiger and Rose. The lyrics and music department has changed five or six versions, but they were all rejected. There are only a few days left before the delivery date on the contract, and the president really has no other choice, so he asked me to ask you if you have any songs."

This matter is neither big nor small.

Yunfeng was quite curious about who had such high demands and was still not satisfied after five or six revisions.

As for songs, he had two in his hand. Originally, Tang Yu gave them to Tan Hui, but Tan Hui refused them. One was "Because of Love" from his previous life on Earth, and the other was "If You Forget", which he wrote the lyrics for and Tang Yu composed the music for.

However, the theme song of the movie must be consistent with the theme of the movie in order to enhance the color of the micro-film. Take "The Dart" for example, a martial arts film, you can't use Jay Chou's "Mojito" as the theme song, it just doesn't fit.

In fact, this was also the reason why Chen Cheng hesitated after listening to what the president said.

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 time, and the other party is Guo Mingming, who is extremely difficult to deal with.

"What kind of movie is this Tiger Rose?"

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

……

Yunfeng listened to Chen Cheng patiently.

This is a very common love story in movies and TV dramas. The male protagonist in college fell in love with the talented female protagonist from the same school at first sight. The male protagonist pursued her relentlessly, but the female protagonist was very annoyed. A pure campus love quietly grew, but after graduation due to family reasons, the male protagonist went abroad for further studies. Five years later, he returned to China and met the unforgettable woman again. The couple who broke up five years ago had all kinds of grievances between them, but these did not make the broken-up lovers continue to miss each other. Instead, they understood each other's love over the years better through various misunderstandings and reality tests.

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

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

However, Yunfeng feels that the two songs, "Because of Love" and "If You Forget", are in line with the theme of "Tiger Rose".

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he paused and said, "Xiao Yun, 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, 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 looked at the contract and this is the price given."

Yunfeng asked again: "Did you buy out the copyright?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Yes."

Yun Feng said bluntly: "The price is too low. My two songs "Swords Like Dreams" and "Swordsman" cost one hundred thousand just for the commercial license for the web series and movie "Dart Man."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go discuss this with the CEO and I'll tell you the specific results later."

"Okay." Yunfeng said again: "Brother Chen, I'll send you the two songs."

"Yeah." Chen Cheng responded, "That couldn't be better."

It will be much better to ask for the price after you have the song.
