Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?
Chapter 279 Prodigy
Chapter 279 Prodigy
Jay Chou was deeply moved by Cheng Yi's words. He said incoherently, "Thank you."
"These are all my heartfelt words. I called you here this time because I want you to write a song for me and endorse my products." Cheng Yi said with a smile.
Jay Chou's assistant immediately said, "Mr. Cheng, I've looked at your information. Are you in the PHS business?"
"Yes, this time it's mainly to advertise my PHS business." Cheng Yi changed the subject and said with a smile, "By the way, how much money will the KTV Group give you for each of you coming out?"
When Jay Chou heard Cheng Yi asking about the profit sharing, his expression dimmed slightly.
Since he was sold to the KTV Group, he has more things to do but gets less profit. He has to hold two concerts for tens of thousands of people in one month. It is really too tiring.
His assistant, who was assigned by the KTV Group, didn't wait for Jay Chou to answer before he said with a smile, "Our Jay is our group's ace singer, so of course his commission share is very high."
Judging from the assistant's answer, Cheng Yi could vaguely guess how much Jay Chou's share was.
From the time Jay Chou was resold to now, he feels like a toy frog on a string, with his concerts non-stop. These days, Andy Lau's concerts only cost 180 yuan.
Jay Chou didn't want to answer this question and said coolly, "What kind of song do you want to write? You can tell me a general idea and I will give you a draft in the next two days."
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I'll just hum it for you. You help me compose the music and he will help me write the lyrics."
Cheng Yi pointed at Fang Wenshan, whose clothes were disheveled.
Jay Chou was stunned for a moment, then confirmed, "You mean, you hum it for me? I'll compose a piece based on the tune you hum?"
"Yes." Cheng Yi said, "I can only hum a short part, and you can help me polish the rest."
"Are you looking for a ghostwriter?" Jay Chou suddenly became angry.
What’s the most disgusting thing about being a creative person?
That means asking him to write for you!
This is simply an insult to his personality.
Sensing Jay Chou's emotions, the assistant quickly smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. It will be faster this way."
Jay Chou had just changed his agency and didn't want to go against his wishes, so he frowned and said, "Why don't you just find a music teacher? They can write it for you, right?"
"How can their level compare to yours? In my eyes, your Chinese music is the best." Cheng Yi repeated.
Jay Chou said stubbornly, "Can't I just write it for you?"
"Sure, but you have to expand on the part I hummed." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I really like this song."
Jay Chou was silent.
After a while, he said, "Since you like that song so much, why don't you ask the song's composer to help you."
"Actually, I am the creator, but my skills are limited and I can't write a complete song. I think my musical style is very similar to yours, so I asked you to come and help me." Cheng Yi sighed: "I don't know why, I always feel like I'm living in your shadow, ah."
Cheng Yi's words not only stunned Jay Chou, but even his assistant beside him was a little dazed.
Su Duo said angrily: "Boss Cheng, can you be more low-key in front of Jay Chou, you..."
"Shut up." Cheng Yi said.
"Okay." Su Duo stopped talking.
Jay Chou sighed and said, "Just hum it, and I'll see if I can compose it for you."
Soon, Cheng Yi started singing: "In my territory, you have to listen to me, harvest the music, find happiness with hearing, and start carving out my personal characteristics..."
"?" Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan were both stunned.
Jay Chou wanted to say: This sounds like my song.
Fang Wenshan wanted to say: This sounds like my lyrics.
Su Duo, who was standing by, also stared blankly at Cheng Yi and said, "Are you sure this isn't a copy of Jay Chou's song?"
"I haven't written this song, but the song written by President Cheng is definitely in my style." Jay Chou seemed to have found a kindred spirit and said excitedly, "President Cheng, your song is amazing. I think if you write a few more, you can release an album."
"I don't have time to do that. I make hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute. Let's talk business. Can you help me polish the song I just hummed? The title of the song is "My Territory". I want to create a trendy brand for PHS communications. I've even thought of the brand name. It's called M-Zone. This should also be reflected in the lyrics." Cheng Yi said with a smile.
Cheng Yi doesn’t know how to operate a communications brand, but he knows how to imitate.
If you don’t understand, just copy it!
"Okay." Jay Chou nodded slowly.
While tidying up his torn cuffs, Fang Wenshan looked at Cheng Yi with surprise, and thought to himself: This young man is really terrible, no wonder he has made such a big business. The little hobbies he shows are as good as him and Jie Lun combined, and... he speaks more clearly than Jie Lun.
Fortunately, Mr. Cheng has no intention of entering the music industry, otherwise they would be in trouble.
At this time, Jay Chou asked curiously again: "Mr. Cheng, why do you call me Jay Chou?"
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Jay speaks in the dialect of our area, which makes him seem more approachable."
"Oh oh." Jay Chou suddenly realized.
Back at the Momo Building, Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan were both surprised by the interior decoration of the Momo Building, which was full of technological atmosphere.
In their impression, the mainland should be very backward.
Soon, Cheng Yi invited Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan to join Momo Group's music studio.
The equipment alone cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for this music studio, and it has almost all the equipment a musician should have.
In addition to satisfying the music creation and singing practice needs of Rao Yuan and others, it also shoulders the task of composing game music.
"Mr. Cheng, you are really a music lover." Jay Chou was really shocked as he touched the music equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the studio.
"Su Duo, please send Assistant Fang to have tea first. I'm going to start creating with Jay Chou and the others." Cheng Yi waved his hand, signaling Su Duo to send Jay Chou's assistant away.
"Hey, I can help too." Jay Chou's assistant Fang Xian wanted to resist.
Su Duo didn't give him any room to resist. She grabbed Fang Xian's arm and dragged him out of the room, saying, "You have to be obedient when you come to our territory. Our President Cheng has a bad temper. He just beat a foreign friend and seriously injured him a few days ago. You won't believe it, will you? Come on, I'll take you to see the report in the newspaper."
Su Duo dragged Fang Xian away and closed the door.
Cheng Yi looked at Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan and said with a smile, "I don't know how much of the 400 million you can get. I'll give you some personally. Let's just be friends."
After saying that, Cheng Yi took out a suitcase from the karaoke room.
He opened the suitcase and found a box of cash inside.
"Just distribute it among yourselves according to the usual distribution ratio." Cheng Yi patted the suitcase and said with a smile.
Jay Chou was surprised and said, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Take it. I have a lot of things that need your help this week."
"Okay." Jay Chou didn't hesitate. He was in dire need of money right now; he needed to save enough to pay the penalty fee and go solo.
Cheng Yi spent the entire afternoon with Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan discussing the music and lyrics. Although he didn't know how to compose music, he had listened to "My Zone" so many times that he could still tell what was right and wrong.
Jay Chou is indeed a genius when it comes to composing music. No matter how abstract Cheng Yi's expression is, he can quickly understand what Cheng Yi says and then make adjustments to the music. However, Fang Wenshan seems to have a grudge against Jay Chou. Knowing that Jay Chou's pronunciation is unclear, he still wrote so many lyrics for him, many of which are suspected to be padded.
However, when he thought that Fang Wenshan charged by the word, Cheng Yi felt relieved.
It was not until the evening that the song "My Territory" was finally completed.
Jay Chou sang the song to Cheng Yi, which was more arrogant and individual than his previous song "My Territory".
"Very good." Cheng Yi laughed.
Jay Chou said, "Mr. Cheng, if you knew how to compose music, you would definitely become a great singer."
"Hey, I don't have time to be a singer either." Cheng Yi looked at Jay Chou's sincere face and said, "While we're happy today, Jay Chou, I'll sing another song for you. If it's good for you, please include it in your album. It'll be considered helping me realize my dream."
"No problem." Jay Chou nodded immediately.
Fang Wenshan looked at Cheng Yi with anticipation.
The two of them have already classified Cheng Yi as an all-round musical genius.
Cheng Yi took the guitar and played the prelude of "Nocturne". This song was once Song Meng's favorite song. At that time, in order to play it for Song Meng, he practiced for more than a year.
Now that I think about it, he really deserves to die.
Fighting back his nausea, Cheng Yi sang the song "Nocturne" without missing a single note.
"!!!" Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan were completely stunned.
This song is indeed very similar to his style, but the height of this song far exceeds all his songs.
Fang Wenshan knew Jay Chou's pride very well and couldn't help but look at him.
Jay Chou stared at Cheng Yi with a dull look, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
So this is genius!
Cheng Yi put down his guitar and said with a smile: "Excuse me for the performance, is this song okay?"
"That's awesome." Fang Wenshan spoke first. He touched Jay Chou's arm, and Jay Chou immediately came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Awesome!"
Cheng Yi said, "Jay, I'm giving this song to you. When you're recording, can you add a line at the end of the song to thank Momo Internet Cafe for its support?"
"I can't accept it. I want to stick to originality. This song is very similar to my style. I can include it in my next album, and I'll still sign your name on it. I'll also give you 50% of the royalties." Jay Chou said seriously.
Cheng Yi said: "Isn't this a bit bad?"
"Whoever is supposed to write it should write it." Jay Chou sticks to his bottom line.
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "As an entrepreneur, it's not appropriate for me to be in the spotlight. How about this? I can't compose music, so you compose the music and I'll write the lyrics. Can we finish this song together?"
Jay Chou hesitated.
Fang Wenshan said, "Jay Lun, I promise this song will be a hit."
"Okay." Jay Chou sighed and said, "I'm taking advantage of you."
He really needed money now. In order to make money, he even wrote one song every few days. Because he wrote so many songs so quickly, he didn't care too much about the quality.
This "Nocturne" made him reflect on the importance of quality songs.
"Then let's start recording now."
Creators are crazy.
Cheng Yi and the other two recorded the video over and over again, and if there was even the slightest flaw, Cheng Yi would stop them.
The recording of "Nocturne" was not finished until it reached the best standard. Cheng Yi finally smiled with satisfaction, especially the last sentence thanking Momo Internet Cafe. The value of this sentence is definitely worth billions.
This song "Nocturne" was written by Jay Chou during his peak period. If it had entered the music scene in 2001, it would have been an absolute smash hit.
It is estimated that it won’t be long before the four words “Momo Internet Cafe” will become popular all over the country along with this song “Nocturne”.
It was already past 1 a.m. when we finished recording this "Nocturne".
Cheng Yi sent a car to take Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan to the hotel, and fell asleep contentedly.
In the dream, he was standing on a huge stage, singing and playing the song "Nocturne" with deep emotion. The Four Heavenly Kings were cheering in the audience, and Jacky Cheung was so excited that he cried.
When Cheng Yi woke up in the morning and washed up simply, he heard the sound of playing music coming from the music studio again.
Are they too dedicated? Cheng Yi hurried to the music studio and saw Jay Chou adjusting the two songs from yesterday.
Seeing Cheng Yi come in, Jay Chou immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng."
"Sit down, sit down." Cheng Yi said with a bright smile, "Did you get enough rest last night?"
"I had a good rest." Jay Chou nodded with a smile.
Cheng Yi looked at Jay Chou and asked casually, "By the way, Jay Chou, do you usually play online games?"
"Play, sometimes play the Stone Age." Jay Chou nodded.
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "That's great. We have something in common now. Can you help me shoot an online game commercial? Don't worry, I'll pay for it extra."
"Online game ads?" Jay Chou asked in surprise, "Aren't online game ads usually advertised in magazines and on websites?"
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I just think we get along well, and I want you to generate some extra income. If you agree, I'll send someone to get the props."
"How much?" Jay Chou was tempted. It was the first time he heard of an online game looking for someone to shoot a commercial.
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I have two games now, one is Momo Legend and the other is Honghuang War Chronicles. If you shoot two commercials for me, I will give you one million."
Jay Chou really suspects that Cheng Yi is crazy. Doesn’t he have money to burn?
"Okay." Jay Chou nodded immediately.
Cheng Yi immediately called his assistant and said, "Go and bring me the red soldier uniform in Xizi Hanyan's office."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi started writing lines for Jay Chou.
Jay Chou looked at the lines written by Cheng Yi and read them as he read:
"It's easy to play, the rhythm is exciting, and one person can dominate the whole field."
"Shacheng is 'my territory'. After eight o'clock, I have the final say here!"
"Friends, I'm Jay Chou. Delete the fake legends in your computer. The real legends are not obtained by charging, but by typing them!"
