While eating, Zhang Rong introduced the details of the cooperation between the two parties. They first paid for Liang Kun's lyrics and music, and then paid dividends. The dividends would definitely be much higher than the rewards for writing lyrics and music.

Liang Kun told Li Keqin that the money was enough to be given to him when he was having dinner last time, but Li Keqin did not dare to be careless at all.

They first look at the quality of the songs and then talk about the contract. Li Keqin will still stay in Yanjing tomorrow and return to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow. If they have time to draft a good contract and sign a formal contract with Liang Kun.

Zhang Rong is very glad that he has never proposed to sign a buyout before. Although Liang Kun may not say anything depending on Li Keqin's face, once he feels grudges, he will be in trouble in the future and will not be able to cooperate again.

Zhang Rong proposed that the lyrics and music totaled 50,000 rmb, and the dividend was based on Xiangjiang's industry standards. "Ten Years" and "Next Years" shared a song, but it was counted as 100,000, which was to make a good relationship.

If Li Keqin wants to sing the Cantonese version of the other two Mandarin songs, he can write lyrics by himself or find someone else to write lyrics, but Liang Kun will not participate. His reason is that writing Cantonese lyrics is too useless and he will not do it anymore.

Liang Kun’s minimum requirement for completing the red task is four songs, which is enough. If all the good songs are put into one album, it will be a bit wasteful. Even if he continues to write songs for Li Keqin in the future, he can still wait for the next album.

Liang Kun is very satisfied with this price. Ordinary newcomers will definitely not get it. Of course, he is not comparable to the top songwriter.

It is said that Lin Xi writes lyrics for Wang Fei, and the general charge is 50,000 yuan, which depends on years of friendship. If you are unfamiliar, Lin Xi’s charges will often be higher or you won’t write them to the other party at all.

Liang Kun did not expect to become like Lin Xi all of a sudden. Lin Xi first started writing lyrics, with a price of HK$1,000 per song, which slowly rose. He made money by royalties, concert sharing, etc., and the dividends were much higher than the price of buying songs.

Sun Yanzi's song "Green Light" has brought more than 500,000 yuan in royalties to the lyricist Tiantian. Every day, she is just writing lyrics, but Liang Kun is responsible for the lyrics and music.

As long as he can write a popular song, Liang Kun will make money faster than writing it. Li Keqin believes that he deserves such a contract.

Including the New Year's Eve party of Yanjing TV, Liang Kun earned 240,000 yuan in a week and would have subsequent income in the future. For students, this is definitely a huge sum of money, but Liang Kun's expression is still dull.

Zhang Rong asked curiously: "You can make a lot of money next, don't you care at all?"

Liang Kun smiled and said, "I'm very happy, but I know I will make more money in the future, so I won't be so excited that I lose my composure."

Li Keqin asked: "You are also very profitable to write books, right?"

"I'm sorry I love you" should make more than 3 million yuan, and I can make money by adapting TV series in the future. I'm still going to write new books after the New Year, which is suitable for adventurous film and television series. I definitely don't lack money."

Liang Kun knew that he could make money that he could spend in his lifetime by writing books. He could always do what he wanted, thinking that living as he pleased was more important than making money.

The environment in the mainland entertainment industry is average, but it is developing rapidly. It will be another way after 2010. Liang Kun has a forward-looking vision and knows how expensive copyright will be in the future.

For example, in "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", Nanpai Sanshu wrote a total of nine books in this series, with a total sales of more than 12 million copies. The royalties behind this are conceivable. The income from royalties is not low, but compared with film and television adaptations, it is only a drop in the bucket.

In 2014, Nanpai Sanshu established Nanpai Film and Television Investment Management Company, engaged in the IP ecological industry system. With the first TV series "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" in 2015 being broadcast on iQiyi, the payment model of video websites was officially launched, and Nanpai Sanshu made a fortune because of this.

Not only that, since 2013, the drama "Grave Robbers" began to be performed in major theaters, and the box office revenue was also very considerable. It can be said that a "Grave Robbers" supported the entire business empire of Nanpai Sanshu. It is reported that he became the chairman of the company with a valuation of 1.5 billion with the "Grave Robbers" series.

It's only the first day in 2002, and Liang Kun has time to improve. He also has friends like Sun Rui and Xu Zhenzhen who are interested in the entertainment industry. Then you can open a company and build a video website. It's not the time yet, it's too early and there's no future.

Li Keqin's mood was very complicated. He just debuted at the age of 19 and launched his own ep of the same name, including "The Ideal Beginning" which he wrote for the first time and "Who Will Break Up" which Xiang Xuehuai wrote for him, but the response was mediocre.

Even so, he felt that he was the best among his peers at that time, because many people were still in school and could not make money with their abilities, let alone become famous.

19-year-old Liang Kun attends the best university in the country, has made many amazing moves and has already achieved a net worth of one million. Li Keqin feels that the gap between himself and a real genius is too big.

At the same time, he felt very lucky. Fortunately, he was invited by CCTV to attend the New Year's Day party, and he was convenient for Liang Kun to invite him to sing in Yanjing. If he didn't come, it might not be so easy to talk about after Liang Kun became popular.

Now they not only have a good conversation, but also have become friends. As long as Liang Kun is willing to continue writing songs for him, Li Keqin has seen the hope of dominating the music scene in recent years. Maybe he can win awards continuously and establish his position in the music scene in one fell swoop.

The meal lasted a very long time, and the two chatted for more than three hours. Liang Kun was not fine after finishing writing. He agreed to arrange the music and went to Xiangjiang to participate in the album recording after the exam. This item will be distributed to you.

The so-called "composer" of the public is generally called songwriter, that is, "the person who writes melody". The college does not recognize such people as "composer". The "composer" referred to by the music school is generally a poser, which is two different things. Only when all notes are completed by themselves are called poser.

"Arrangement" is actually equivalent to the work of a poser, but the main theme is often completed by others.

Arrangement usually requires the writing of multiple or even dozens of instruments, and coordinate with each other, and the emotional color fluctuations of different phrases are arranged. The workload and melody are not of the same level. In many cases, low-end arrangements are also responsible for helping people to adjust pitch, handle vocals, adjust paragraphs and rhythms, and other things that are completely unrelated to arrangement.

In addition, sometimes, when recording musical instruments and entering the shed, you also need extra costs to hire musicians. These hard costs are counted in the arrangement of music, especially the cost of orchestral music is very high.

Of course, if you ask a real "composer" to make complete music from scratch instead of writing a melody and throwing it to the singer, the cost is also higher, and Liang Kun is such a writer.

After all, things are precious because they are rare.

If you just find someone to spend more time humming, you may also write a complete melody, but the threshold for arrangement is very high, and it is often because technology and experience are indispensable and ordinary people cannot do it.

It is difficult for others to understand how Liang Kun's songs are best compared to him. Liang Kun agreed happily. For him, this is a trivial matter, just stay at home for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

His only requirement was to find him a closed hut for him to stay in seclusion when arranging the music, which would help him think, but it was actually convenient for communication with his subconscious mind. It was too cold recently and he no longer went to the old warehouse of the school. He had to wait until the exam was over before completing his work.

After the cooperation details were negotiated, the three left the restaurant together.

Li Keqin and Zhang Rong returned to the hotel, and Liang Kun had to go to another party. It was a little early to have supper time, so Liang Kun called Chen Jiaying and asked to meet him.

This time, Liang Kun and Wang Fei had no plans to have dinner together. The manager said that meeting was enough. Liang Kun just gave another song, and there was not so much to talk about. Wang Fei had already got two songs before, and now he is almost proficient.

It was very cold, of course Wang Fei was too lazy to go out. She didn't want to be blocked by reporters at the restaurant for an interview. That was what Lin Yilian should do, and she was blown by the cold wind for you and me...

Chen Jiaying took a business car to meet Liang Kun near Yanda. Just from the way of meeting, you can see the distance and close relationship. Wang Fei and Liang Kun both want to cooperate at work. The contract matter is easy to handle. Liang Kun's quotation is the same as Li Keqin's invitation song.

Chen Jiaying watched the song in the car and thought that this song was of good quality, but the content was simple but suitable for Wang Fei to sing. The arrangement was also very simple, and Liang Kun had already written it. Liang Kun did not necessarily need to do the task of playing the flute, but it was OK to find someone else.

"I think A Fei will definitely like this song. You don't consider how many days you stay after the holiday. Do you want to try the accompaniment?"

"I haven't been home during the holidays since I came to Yanjing. I haven't seen my parents until the end of August. And I have a sister here to go to school. If I go back separately, I'm a little worried. It's better to go together. If Sister Fei wants to work with me on stage, I can still come back after the New Year. I'm very familiar with that song."

Chen Jiaying smiled and said, "Then you prepare for the exam first. I have drafted a contract to come to you."

After the talk, Liang Kun got off the car and sent a text message to reporter Yang Xi. He had a simple meal with his fellow villagers in the evening and accepted an exclusive interview.

Yang Xi asked Liang Kun and answered truthfully, mainly about his affairs this month, some thoughts about participating in the National Folk Music Competition, his thoughts on working with Li Keqin and Wang Fei, etc.

Neither singer said that this matter could be circulated and was not a secret. Sooner or later, they would promote the album.

Liang Kun needs popularity, so there is no need to hide it in this regard. When he goes to Xiangjiang, the media will definitely report it. A low-key life is not suitable for him. As long as he learns singing with Li Keqin and is ready to go on stage in person, he will not be able to keep a low profile.

Yang Xi asked: "I have decided to cooperate. Can you tell me how much money you made?"

"Sorry, this is probably a commercial secret. If I report it, it may cause some people in the circle to be disgusted." Liang Kun said with a smile.

Yang Xi asked: "What are you going to do next?"

"I'll take the final exam, go home for the New Year. Let's talk about what job you have after the New Year. I'm not sure yet."

Yang Xi asked: "Will you write new books this year? Now you have more work and have to write songs and compose music. There are many book fans waiting to read your new books."

"Yes, but the publication time has not been decided. I took the time to write it. The subject matter and outline have been figured out."
