One person's entertainment

Chapter 57, This is the opportunity!

Shen Lingyou, who was not far away, was feeling quite complicated at this moment.

He has completed the task and received a two-star opportunity reward, 2 points of [Singing Skills], and a song "Hao Hao Qian Kun".

Why do I say I have mixed feelings?

First, it’s exciting to complete a task and get a reward; then, it’s depressing to hear an unpopular song.

The last time I gave it the theme song for "Kangxi's Private Visits", which was fine, after all, the drama had just finished filming and could be used.

But this time the theme song is from "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", which was not released until 2000 in the original time and space.

System, oh system, what on earth are you up to?

At the same time, Zhang Jizhong also looked at Shen Lingyou, with three parts of doubt and seven parts of questioning in his tone, and said: "Him? I forgot to ask who he is just now. Is he your disciple? He looks like he is 18 or 19 years old. Can he do it?"

"It would be great if he were my apprentice." Zhao Jiping finally had a faint, normal smile on her face, and said, "I forgot to introduce him to you. He is from the 96 acting class of the Central Academy of Drama. He just debuted as a singer, and his new album is very popular. You may not have heard of his popular songs, but you must have heard of the theme song of the hit TV series "Kangxi's Private Visits."

Zhang Jizhong said, "Oh," and said, "I heard Tu Honggang sing the song 'Rivers and Mountains Are Unlimited' a while ago. He sang it very well. Do you mean he wrote it?"

Zhao Jiping nodded and said, "Yes, and he created this song based on the seven words in the title of the play. He is much better than me."

Zhang Jizhong raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Is this true? Is it that exaggerated?"

Zhao Jiping smiled and said, "What Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli told me is true."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jizhong said, "If it's really as good as the song in "Jiang Shan Wuxian", it can be used as a backup theme song for our drama."

Zhao Jiping added: "It's just that he only sells the right to use his songs, and they're expensive."

Zhang Jizhong frowned and asked, "Which company does he work for?"

in the country, there are not many songwriters who can control the copyright of their own songs.

Generally, after a song is sold, the creator only enjoys part of the copyright. If the agreement states that the copyright belongs to the buyer, then the creator will no longer enjoy any copyright at all.

Copyright equals money. Is there any company that would be so generous?
Zhao Jiping shook her head and said, "He has not signed a contract with any company and is currently an independent musician."

Zhang Jizhong thought that only in this way could he be relatively free and independent, and then asked, "How expensive are you talking about?"

Zhao Jiping chuckled and said, "Guess how much the song "Jiangshan Wuxian" was sold for?"

Zhang Jizhong didn't guess, but squinted his eyes and said, "It can't be more expensive than your "Hero Song"."

Zhao Jiping raised her right hand, stretched out five fingers, and said, "This number."

Zhang Jizhong smiled when he saw it and said, "5000, that's a good deal."

Zhao Jiping laughed and said, "You said there was a missing '0'."

"What did you say?" Zhang Jizhong's voice instantly rose several decibels, and he asked in confusion, "5? Are Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli crazy? Spending this money to buy a song? It's just the right to use it."

Zhao Jiping was very satisfied with his reaction and continued, "That's why I said that he not only has creative talent, but also has a very good business sense. He is nothing like me..."

Zhang Jizhong heard the hidden meaning in his words and said quickly: "I didn't treat you unfairly. Besides, you asked for the price."

Zhao Jiping rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't say anything about you." "Let's talk business first." Zhang Jizhong changed the subject and said in a somewhat dishonest way, "Anyway, you are our composer, so you should handle the theme song issue."

He didn't want to say this, but 5 was far beyond their budget. Besides, it was impossible to spend so much money to buy a backup theme song. To take a step back, if the verdict had not come down by then, he would just do some work for CCTV and still use the song "Hero Song", and the impact would not be particularly great.

Zhao Jiping thought that we had signed a contract, and if we couldn't complete it, it would be your breach of contract. He would not cheat, so he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll find a solution to my problem."

Zhang Jizhong reminded him: "No matter whose song it is, you have to check it carefully. You can't make 'Hero Song' too bad."

Zhao Jiping nodded and said, "Oh, I know."

Zhang Jizhong finally said, "You're not leaving today, are you? Let's have the wrap-up banquet together tonight."

Zhao Jiping thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. I still have some information to give to the lawyer. Let's talk about dinner later." After that, she made a goodbye gesture and walked towards Shen Ling.

Zhang Jizhong didn't go to meet Shen Lingyou and went straight to the set. He wanted to finish the filming today and had a lot of things to do.

Zhao Jiping called Shen Lingyou, left the film and television city, and found a small restaurant outside to have lunch.

"Just make do with it today. I'll treat you to a good meal another day."

"No, I just like the taste of the small restaurant."

While waiting for the food, the two drank tea and chatted.

The young waitress seemed to recognize Shen Lingyou. She suddenly ran over and asked excitedly, "Excuse me, are you Shen Lingyou who sang The Wind Rises?"

Shen Lingyou smiled slightly and said, "You are the first one to mention this song in your opening remarks to me."

The waitress blinked her eyes innocently and said, "This song is very nice. Your voice is delicate and pure, full of power and warmth. It makes me feel like 'where my heart moves, I go with the wind.'"

Shen Lingyou said modestly: "Thank you."

The waitress almost forgot what she was doing, took out a pen and paper, and asked, "Can you sign an autograph for me?"

Shen Lingyou usually wouldn't refuse this, so he took the paper and pen and signed his own artistic signature on it.

The waitress carefully put the signature paper away and said happily, "Thank you."

Zhao Jiping saw all of this, and after the people left, she smiled and said, "In just two or three months, he became famous all over the country, and he only used one song and one album. Not many singers can do that."

Shen Lingyou smiled faintly and said, "I am lucky."

After chatting with him for a while, Zhao Jiping told him about the singing appointment, using her own face and connections.

Shen Lingyou remained calm on the surface, but he was laughing in his heart.

It turns out that the song "Hao Hao Qian Kun" was awarded because of the system's foresight and foresight.

What is "Opportunity"? This is "Opportunity"!
Shen Lingyou smiled and said, "Teacher Zhao, you are too polite. It's my honor that you asked me to sing a song."

Zhao Jiping asked happily, "Do you agree?"

Shen Lingyou raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, then started to tell lies. He said seriously, "To be honest, I am actually a loyal reader of the Four Great Classics and have written several songs for them."
