One person's entertainment

Chapter 108, Gains and Losses
Huo Wenxi said slowly: "The first thing is that Warner Flying Saucer contacted me and asked to arrange a time to talk. From what they said, it seems that they have not given up on you and still want to sign you."

Sign me? Shen Lingyou raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't they know that I have set up my own company?"

Huo Wenxi analyzed: "They should know, but for a large company, this is not a problem at all, they can just acquire it directly."

Shen Lingyou laughed dumbly and said, "Am I that popular? Even the 'three visits to the thatched cottage' was used."

"You are not just popular, you are extremely popular." Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "What I want to ask you is, if they offer very good conditions, give a sky-high signing fee, and accept your copyright conditions, will you accept it?"

Shen Lingyou didn't even think about it and said directly: "Of course I won't accept it. Living under someone else's roof will always be subject to many restrictions. It's good like this now."

Huo Wenxi nodded and said, "Okay, I know what to do."

We must go to meet them. Even if the business fails, there is still friendship. Warner UFO has the support of the big tree of Warner. It is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, but it will always get up. Don't say to curry favor with them, at least don't make enemies with them.

Shen Lingyou finished cleaning up the breakfast, wiped his mouth, and said, "Is that all?"

Huo Wenxi continued, "That's not all. The second thing is endorsements and advertisements. At least a dozen brands have approached us during this period. I have selected two endorsements and five advertisements according to your requirements. You can decide which ones to sign, and then you have to find a time to shoot."

Shen Lingyou pondered and said, "The filming of Never Forget Me has to change cities every ten days or half a month, so it's hard to squeeze in time. How about this, can you coordinate and concentrate on filming together? Then I can take three to five days off."

Huo Wenxi thought so too, so he said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Shen Lingyou nodded, looked up at her, and waited for her to continue.

Huo Wenxi understood and said, "The last thing is, I have already sent the demo of the song 'Meet in 98', the duet version of you and Wang Jingfei, to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala director team. All that's left is to wait for the result."

Shen Lingyou smiled and said, "Man proposes, God disposes, so just wait."

With the right time, right place and right people, there is no way this will fail.

Nearing noon, Shen Lingyou prepared to go to the company with Huo Wenxi to take a look.

The flight is at 4pm, so it's still early.

Just as he was about to go out, his cell phone rang.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Xiao Shen? I'm Zhao Jiping."

"Teacher Zhao, long time no see."

"I watched the live broadcast of the 1997 Love Song last night. Are you still in Yanjing?"

"It's still there."

"Well, go directly to the Hua Xia Hotel now. I'll be there in about ten minutes."

……

Well, I can’t go to the company.

After Shen Lingyou hung up the phone, he took Huo Wenxi to the Hua Xia Hotel.

At the entrance of the alley, I bought a few newspapers.

[Liu Dehua and Na Ying sang "Pearl of the Orient" to celebrate the return of Hong Kong! ]

[Tsinghua University, Shen Lingyou's singing is magnificent and inspiring! ]

[On the evening of July 7, Fang Chenglong will be the only representative of the Hong Kong performing arts community to sing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" at the "Hong Kong Return Ode" gala at the City Hall! ]

Whether it is a news newspaper or an entertainment newspaper, almost all of them are related to Hong Kong's return.

Shen Lingyou saw a lot about himself.

Finally, I rode the wave of Hong Kong's return.

Shen Yongchun and Jiang Xiuyue, who were far away in Hangzhou, were extremely proud. Their son was on TV. This time it was not an advertisement but an evening party, a CCTV evening party.

At that time, both of them shed tears of joy.

Which parent doesn't want their children to be successful and stand out?

In the car, Huo Wenxi's cell phone kept ringing. He answered eight or nine calls, all business calls.

And, they are all evening parties.

"What should I do?" Huo Wenxi didn't know what to do.

If you accept it, the production of Never Forget Me will be delayed and it will cost a lot of money.

If you don't take it, you will not only miss the opportunity to make money, but also give up the opportunity to be exposed.

For a moment, I was caught in a dilemma.

"Sister Xi, please first count all the evening parties and then pick out a few important ones. I will call Director Zhao and ask for another three days off. The impact won't be too big." Shen Lingyou made a quick decision.

"This is the only way." Huo Wenxi nodded.

The entertainment industry is like this: when you become famous, everyone will praise you, but when you become unpopular, no one will care about you.

There is a saying that goes, enjoy your achievements when you are at your peak and enjoy your life when you are at your lowest.

If you don't go now, when will you go?

Huo Wenxi got off the bus halfway and went to the company.

Shen Lingyou came to the Hua Xia Hotel alone to meet Zhao Jiping.

"Teacher Zhao, you look so happy, is there something good going on?"

“It’s barely a good thing.”

After ordering some food, they ate and chatted.

It turned out that Zhao Jiping's case had a conclusion.

After two hearings, the court confirmed that Zhao Jiping's "Hero Song" was created based on folk music including "Auntie Wang Repairing the Jar", and there was no plagiarism, and it fell within the scope of copyright protection.

However, the court believed that although the words used by several defendants were sarcastic and inaccurate, they did not constitute infringement overall, so Zhao Jiping's lawsuit request for an apology and compensation was rejected.

After the first-instance judgment, neither party appealed and the judgment is now effective.

That's why Zhao Jiping said that it was barely a good thing.

"I finally feel a little better. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well during this period." Zhao Jiping let out a long breath, picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour wine for Shen Lingyou.

"I can't drink anymore. After the concert last night, I was dragged out for a drink by three big brothers, Tu Honggang, Liu Huan, and Han Lei. My head still hurts now." Seeing this, Shen Lingyou hurriedly explained.

"If you drink with Liu Huan and Han Lei, you're asking for trouble." Zhao Jiping said with a smile.

"I was watching the live broadcast of Hong Kong's return at the time. I was happy and didn't think too much about it." Shen Lingyou poured himself a cup of tea and drank it with him instead of wine.

"It's worth drinking." Zhao Jiping put down the wine glass and said, "Now that this matter has been resolved, Water Margin can use "Heroes' Song" without any worries. You don't have to worry, your "Vast Universe" will be used as the theme song for the next 12 episodes."

"It's okay." Shen Lingyou didn't care. He gave the song to Zhao Jiping in exchange for a favor.

"I saw in the newspaper that you went to film a movie?" Zhao Jiping asked.

"Well, we have been shooting for almost two months." Shen Lingyou replied.

"Have you found a composer?" Zhao Jiping asked again.

"Not yet." Shen Lingyou replied.

"You don't look for me, does that mean you look down on me?" Zhao Jiping said jokingly.

"That's impossible. I see you are busy with the case." Shen Lingyou said with a smile.

"I only have this little skill. Whether you think highly of it or not, I'd like to recommend myself." Zhao Jiping said seriously.

"It's our honor to have you compose the music for this drama." Shen Lingyou immediately filled his glass of wine and his own glass of tea.

"You kid." Zhao Jiping smiled.

"I toast to you." Shen Lingyou also smiled.
