Chapter 31 The Wind Blows Up
Faced with the question raised by Ye Zhiqiu, Song Mei thought about it for a moment and tried: "Zhiqiu, the copyright of the lyrics and music belongs to you alone, so the transaction will be much more convenient."
"In the industry, original songs by well-known musicians can be roughly divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C. Generally, the ten-year usage rights fee ranges from 30,000 to 300,000. Of course, this price does not include copyright transfer."
"Honestly, Huahai Entertainment is more optimistic about this song. Our internal evaluation is at A level, and the price is set at 200,000 yuan. What do you think?"
As if she was afraid that Ye Zhiqiu would disagree, Song Mei quickly added: "This price is definitely top-notch in the industry. In fact, traditional music has declined in recent years. There are very few songs that can get the price of 300,000, and only a few songs have been released.
."
Ye Zhiqiu knew it in his heart. To put it bluntly, he was just a newcomer who had never released a song before. If he took the initiative to submit a song to a big company, he would be lucky if he could sell it for 10,000 yuan.
Huahai Entertainment is willing to treat itself according to the standards of well-known musicians, which shows its sincerity.
"sure."
Song Mei's face lit up, but Ye Zhiqiu's next words made her and Yu Caiwei stunned.
"But I still think this song is not suitable. Don't you consider changing it to another one?"
Song Mei quickly said, "Are you talking about "The Parade of White Pigeons"? This song is also very good, but the folk song type is not..."
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "No, it's another original song that I haven't sung before."
"Ah?" Not only Song Mei, but also Yu Caiwei was stunned, staring at Ye Zhiqiu with her beautiful eyes.
Song Mei reacted and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know what kind of song it is..."
Song Mei actually didn't want to take risks. After all, the song "Goodbye" was already very mature and she had already heard it.
If Ye Zhiqiu has other original songs, she is not sure whether they can reach the level of "Goodbye".
"Don't worry, the style and the theme of 'youth' couldn't be more consistent." Ye Zhiqiu said confidently.
"However, the license to use this song is 300,000. Or "Goodbye" is 200,000, your choice."
300,000? Song Mei was shocked again.
It means that in Ye Zhiqiu's mind, this song is better than "Goodbye" and the quality has reached S level?
People are so cheap, and they will look down on those with low prices. Ye Zhiqiu quoted 300,000 yuan, and Song Mei's curiosity was aroused.
Song Mei asked: "Um, do you have a demo that I can listen to?"
"No." Ye Zhiqiu answered simply.
Song Mei's face was suffocated, and Yu Caiwei on the side suddenly said: "You can sing live."
Ye Zhiqiu subconsciously said: "It probably won't work. The accompaniment of this song mainly requires piano, and it can't be done with guitar."
"Here it is." Yu Caiwei pointed to a Steinway by the window of the cafe.
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned. He didn't realize that when he came in just now, this cafe even had a piano.
"That's fine, let me sing it again." Ye Zhiqiu didn't waste any time, got up and walked towards the piano.
Just as Yu Caiwei was about to stand up, her slightly opened mouth seemed to have something to say.
Her original intention was that Ye Zhiqiu would sing and she would play the piano to accompany him.
Apparently, he can play the piano? Why haven't I heard it before?
Yu Caiwei's eyes were full of curiosity, and she seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of this negotiation.
Ye Zhiqiu sat in front of the piano, brushing his hands over the keys, and a feeling like muscle memory came to his heart.
When Ye Zhiqiu's slender fingers played the first note, Yu Caiwei's eyes widened.
Nice to hear.
This was her only feeling, and Ye Zhiqiu's clear voice had already begun to sing.
【Walking and stopping along the way, following the traces of the young man drifting
The moment before I stepped out of the station, I was a little hesitant.
I can't help but laugh at this cowardice of being close to home, it's still unavoidable
And the weather in Nagano is still so warm
The wind blew once upon a time】
Sad and beautiful melodies and songs floated in the space of the coffee shop, immediately attracting the attention of the few customers in the store.
The originally low-pitched discussion gradually disappeared, and everyone quietly looked at the figure playing at the piano.
【I once had a hard time extricating myself from the size of the world
I also indulge in talking in my sleep, which cannot be true or false.
No struggle, no fear of jokes
I once turned my youth into her, and I also had summer popping out of my fingertips
Whatever your heart moves, just go with it.
Walk against the light and let the wind and rain blow]
When it comes to singing the chorus, luckily Ye Zhiqiu has received a lot of guidance from Professor Liu Minkang recently, otherwise he really wouldn’t have been able to persevere.
Even so, Ye Zhiqiu still changed the singing method in the most difficult part, but it was also the first time for everyone to listen to it, so they naturally thought that this song should be like this.
After singing the song, there were already slight beads of sweat on Ye Zhiqiu's forehead. Songs of this difficulty were still a bit difficult for him.
Ye Zhiqiu walked back to his seat amidst the applause of everyone who was just waking up from a dream. Only then did Yu Caiwei and Song Mei react.
Ye Zhiqiu said helplessly: "That's probably it. The full version of the accompaniment also includes other instruments. My singing skills are average and I can't sing the full feeling."
"We want this song!" Song Mei's voice was trembling, but her tone was decisive.
Ye Zhiqiu took a sip of coffee and nodded.
He was not surprised at all by this result. The song "The Wind Rises" is definitely worth it.
Song Mei looked ecstatic, but Yu Caiwei suddenly asked: "'I once transformed my youth into her, and I also had summer popping out of my fingertips.' Is this song you wrote for someone?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
It’s no wonder that Yu Caiwei asked such a question. She thought she wrote it to her ex-girlfriend Chen Yuan! After all, they just broke up, so this lyric is actually very suitable for her situation.
Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand and said, "No, I just wrote it casually. You are the first ones to hear this song."
Yu Caiwei nodded and asked again: "You can play the piano. Why haven't I seen you play in the office before?"
Ye Zhiqiu said helplessly: "You didn't even ask. The graduation party is so urgent. Every time I go there, I always ask Professor Liu for advice."
"I can't just shout, 'I play the piano very well, everyone should come and see'."
Perhaps Ye Zhiqiu's words were too funny, so Yu Caiwei laughed out loud, her beautiful eyes curved into a crescent shape.
Yu Caiwei's smile was like ice and snow melting and flowers blooming. Ye Zhiqiu, who was sitting opposite and was directly hit by a critical attack, was stunned for a moment.
Meeting Ye Zhiqiu's direct gaze, Yu Caiwei blushed, her smile faded, and she regained her image as a goddess of ice and snow.
"Ahem." Song Mei couldn't stand it anymore and coughed several times.
When Ye Zhiqiu reacted, his face turned red and he put away the piggy look he had unconsciously exposed.
Yaoshou! Why does this little girl look so lively? I wonder if she can easily draw away people’s souls.
"Aunt Mei, I have no problem here." Yu Caiwei blushed and said softly.
Song Mei nodded helplessly. For some reason, the quality of the songs she got clearly exceeded expectations, but she was not so happy in her heart.
