How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 232 The Queen Asks for Help
early morning.

Zhang Wen came to the company in Bai Lu's business car.

He did not rest immediately after having five days of paid leave, but chose to continue working and spread all five days of paid leave over to the next week.

In this way, two weekends plus five days of paid leave make a total of nine days, which makes me feel great just thinking about it.

And I have a lot of work to do recently, such as writing songs for Tang Yi and Jiang Li, and coaxing rich sisters to sleep. It is better to do these things during working hours.

It is okay to use working time to do private work, but it is absolutely not allowed to use vacation time to work.

Zhang Wen stood at the elevator door waiting for the elevator. It was already mid-May, and the maximum daytime temperature could reach over 30 degrees. All the female employees in the company changed into summer clothes. The various stockings and long legs were dazzling to the eyes, but also refreshing.

One more reason not to fire your boss.
Although he fought with Bai Lu until dawn last night, he still couldn't help but feel excited.

"Good morning, Teacher Zhang!"

Suddenly a voice was heard, and then a pair of straight, snow-white long legs appeared in Zhang Wen's sight. Sneakers, shorts, a white tank top and a denim jacket made the woman look beautiful and cool.

He is Wang Qi, the gold medal producer of the record production department.

"Good morning, Teacher Wang!" Zhang Wen greeted the other party with a smile, but at the same time felt regretful in his heart that it would be a waste if these legs were not wearing stockings.

"Teacher Zhang seems to be in a good mood. Is the song for Sister Li finished?" Wang Qi asked with a smile. It has been two days since Sister Li asked for the song. What she is most looking forward to now is the song that the other party has written for Sister Li, even more than waiting for the prize draw after buying a lottery ticket.

She has not been idle these two days. She has already written a song and is writing the lyrics, just to compete with the man in front of her to see who is more talented.

"Well, I've finished writing it." Zhang Wen said.

"What? So fast?" Wang Qi opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of disbelief.

She was looking forward to it, but when the other party actually finished writing it, she was only filled with shock.

Can you write a song in two days?

Is the other person's brain AI? Can he write just by saying it?
However, when I thought about how the other person used to write songs in seven steps, I quickly accepted this reality.

"Is it fast? I think it's just average. It took me seven steps to write a song back then, but now it takes me two days, which is already very slow." Zhang Wen said indifferently.

He wanted to say: Not only did I finish writing the song that Sister Li asked me to do, I also wrote a song for Bai Lu and Tang Yi respectively.

But he was worried about scaring the beauty, so he didn't say it.

In fact, he has written down all the songs he obtained through the blessing of the Star God in the past two days, and registered the music copyrights online. He is always ready to make a big move and cash in all the songs.

"Teacher Zhang, where is the song? Can you show it to me?" Wang Qi asked excitedly, with stars shining in her eyes. The gold medal song producer immediately turned into a little fan girl.

Zhang Wen reached out and patted his chest. "It's in my pocket, but I have to show it to Sister Li first."

"Ah?" Wang Qi frowned upon hearing this. "Come on, Mr. Zhang, I'm actually the producer of Sister Li's album. It doesn't matter whether you show it to Sister Li first or to me first. Are you still worried that I'll monopolize it? Isn't it okay if you just beg me?"

After saying this, he showed a pitiful expression.

Zhang Wen noticed the strange looks from the people around him and quickly took out the written song sheet from his pocket.

Wang Qi took it and felt like he had found a treasure. He stood there and started reading it, not even getting into the elevator when it arrived.

Zhang Wen had no choice but to wait on the side. He took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Sister Li, informing her that the song had been written and that she could come to the company to find him anytime in the next few days.

He thought Sister Li was still asleep, but within 20 seconds of sending the WeChat message, she received a message with a line of text in the dialog box: 'I'm going to the company today.'

It’s not that Jiang Li is idle, but she really wants to see the quality of this song. If it can be half as good as the song "Human World" she wrote for Tang Yi, she will be satisfied.

Wang Qi stared at the music sheet in his hand intently. At first he was just curious, but as he looked at it, he became immersed in the song and couldn't extricate himself.

The name of this song is "Rebirth". Although it is a lyrical song, the chorus gives people a passionate feeling.

In addition to the melody, the lyrics are also full of rich emotions, and the chorus is even more inspiring. It is a rare good song, even not inferior to "Human World".

At least that's what she thought.

In comparison, the songs she wrote are simply too ordinary.

"Did you really write this song these two days?" Wang Qi's voice trembled a little, and he still couldn't believe it was true.

"Of course, do I need to lie to you?" Zhang Wen said.

In fact, he did lie, because he wrote this song in just over ten minutes, not two days.

Wang Qi heard the answer and nodded blankly.

Yes, why would they cheat her? She didn't pay for the songs, so how could they cheat her and then increase the price?

Zhang Wen saw the other person's dazed look and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Teacher Wang? Is the song not good?"

Wang Qi came back to his senses and quickly shook his head and said, "No, you wrote it very well, very well. I like this song very much. How did you write this song? Can you tell me about the creative process? I really want to know."

"Written with a pen."

"..."

Wang Qi was speechless. Isn't this nonsense? It wasn't written with a pen. Could it be that he was poking at the paper with his hands?

"Teacher Zhang, don't joke, I'm serious." Wang Qi said with a serious face.

Zhang Wen wanted to say he wasn't joking, but seeing the other person's serious expression, he could only change his words and say, "Besides being a training teacher, I have another identity..."

"I know, a psychologist, right?" Wang Qi asked. She also heard about it from Sister Li.

"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. You're right, I'm indeed a psychologist. Sister Li had mania before, and I cured her. Do you understand now?"

"I see. You wrote this song based on Sister Li's transformation, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Wen nodded. "This song is not only written for her, but also for thousands of people like her. I hope they can get out of the haze and be full of hope for life again, as if they have been reborn."

"That's very well said. I think this song will be loved by many people." Wang Qi said excitedly, as if the song was written for her.

"I hope so." Zhang Wen said, "I've given you the sheet music. I've already informed Sister Li that she will come to the company today." "Thank you. I'll go to the recording studio now."

At this moment, the elevator just stopped at the first floor. Wang Qi couldn't wait to walk in, his face full of excitement.

Zhang Wen also entered the elevator and walked out only when it stopped at the floor where the training department was located.

When he pushed open the door of the office area, he saw Director Xu at a glance. The other party was standing next to his workstation, as if waiting for him.

"Director, is there something wrong?" Zhang Wen walked over and asked.

"How was last night?" Xu Qingyu asked in a low voice, concern in his eyes.

"Mr. Wang from Qiyi Video has agreed to cooperate with our company." Zhang Wen said truthfully.

"Really? Well done! I knew it was the right thing to leave this to you." Xu Qingyu said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, when are you planning on taking a vacation?"

"Next week." Zhang Wen said.

"Okay, you can go on vacation without worry." Xu Qingyu said and turned back to the office.

Zhang Wen sat at his workstation. Without being disturbed by others, the wonderful scene of him and Bai Lu working all night long emerged in his mind again.

But compared to his vigor and vitality, Bai Lu seemed much weaker. Although she could occasionally take the initiative at the beginning, she was ultimately no match for his semi-immortal body. Even if she had drunk several bottles of life essence before, it was of no avail. She could only let the waves hit her like a small boat in the Pacific Ocean. If it weren't for his compassion for her, the boat might have fallen apart.

It seems that I need to prepare a few more bottles of life essence for Bai Lu in the future.

Zhang Wen walked around the various practice rooms, then left the training department like he did the previous two days, and drove the Maybach he had just bought yesterday to his rich sister's house.

Today was the last day of his treatment. He did not stay at the homes of the three wealthy sisters for too long. After coaxing them to sleep, he went to the next house and finally left the community before two o'clock.

Just as he was about to take his new car for a spin, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Jiang Li calling.

"Hey, Sister Li, what's up?"

"Teacher Zhang, where are you?" Jiang Li's voice came from the microphone, sounding a little anxious and a little excited.

"I'm doing something outside, what's wrong?" Zhang Wen asked curiously.

"Teacher Zhang, I read the song you wrote and I'm very satisfied with it. I want to buy out its copyright. Please name a price." Jiang Li didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of the call.

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It turns out he was here to give me money.

However, when it comes to buying out the copyright of the song, he really doesn't know how much a good price to ask. He had only written songs for Tang Yi before, and they signed a profit-sharing agreement at that time, under which 30% of the profits from the song sales belonged to him, which also included the use of the song in TV broadcasts, performances, advertisements, etc.

During this period, he has earned more than 200,000 yuan from it, and this is only in one and a half months.

"Sister Li, the song you're watching now is the second song I wrote. The song I wrote for Tang Yi before was a profit-sharing agreement with her, so I really don't know the buyout price. Besides, I don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I want to keep it steady and sustainable."

"How about five million? This is the buyout price for the work of the country's top songwriter." Jiang Li said. She liked the song very much and felt that it would be a big hit, so she really wanted to hold it in her own hands.

five million?
Zhang Wen's hand trembled, but only for a moment. After all, five million was nothing to him now. He just didn't expect Sister Li to be so generous and directly give him the highest price.

"Sister Li, why do you insist on buying out this song?" Zhang Wen asked curiously. Wouldn't it be good to spend hundreds of thousands to buy the publishing rights, and then sign a profit-making agreement, just like Tang Yi?
"I like this song. I want it to become my masterpiece. I want to sing it anytime and anywhere. I want...it's like liking someone and wanting to possess him completely. Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Li said excitedly.

"I understand, it's just..."

"Six million, I beg you." Jiang Li's voice softened, completely losing the aura of a queen.

"Sister Li, aren't you afraid of making a mistake? What if this song fails?" Zhang Wen asked with a wry smile. Faced with the other party's pleading, he was a little powerless to resist.

"It won't flop. I believe in you and I believe in my own judgment. If it flopped, I would accept it. Anyway, I like this song." Jiang Li's attitude was very firm.

"Thank you for your trust, Sister Li, but I think you are a little impulsive now. How about this, you calm down for a few days and we will talk about it later? How about it?" Zhang Wen asked.

"I'm very calm now. I've never been calmer than I am now. Really? How about you tell me where you are now and I'll come find you so you can see how calm I am now."

"..."

Zhang Wen was completely speechless.

After all, you are a queen of pop, can you please not be so crazy?

It's just a song, not a husband.

Jiang Li didn't hear the answer, and she became even more anxious. She gritted her teeth and said, "Eight million, I owe you a favor. From now on, even if it means going through fire and water, I won't hesitate for a second."

Zhang Wen sighed inwardly, knowing that if he didn't agree, the other party would definitely not give up. Thinking that eight million was indeed a lot, he agreed.

"Okay, Sister Li, I'll sell the song to you. If it were anyone else, I would never sell it to you." Zhang Wen said with a wry smile.

Although he didn't know how much it cost to buy out the lyrics and music, he knew that some singers made tens of millions from just one song, which was why he signed a profit-sharing agreement with Tang Yi.

To be honest, if she wasn't a pop diva, he would never agree to it.

Just think of it as using a song to make friends with the queen of pop. No matter where she sees him in the future, won’t she have to come forward and say hello enthusiastically?
This is enough.

Moreover, if Jiang Li makes the song "New Life" popular, his fame as a songwriter will greatly increase, and the prices of the remaining songs will also rise. Even the publishing rights will start at at least one million.

"Really? Teacher Zhang, thank you. From now on, you are my real brother. In the company, if anyone dares to mess with you, just tell me and I will help you deal with him..." Jiang Li said excitedly.

Although she spent eight million, she didn't feel she was at a loss at all. Of course, she wanted to buy out the copyright of the song, not to take advantage of the other party, but because she really liked it.

"Thank you, Sister Li." Zhang Wen said, but it was probably unnecessary to file a complaint, because if anyone provoked him, he would take revenge on the spot and would not need any help from others.

"Brother, when will you return to the company? Let's sign the agreement quickly, and also, let's discuss the arrangement..."

"I'll be back in about half an hour."

"Ok, I will wait for you."
