The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 165 0165, Single Dog's Qixi Festival

[fffreeeeeee]: There are so many lonely and single people, and few of them are happy. So what if my confession is rejected on Valentine's Day? Going to work makes me happy, so I'll keep working!

[One-day Fried Egg]: Single dogs are also dogs. If you don’t love them, please don’t hurt them!

[Obviously very happy psychotic]: It’s been five years since I broke up with you. I heard this song by coincidence. My heart is no longer filled with so many waves, but your shadow is still lingering in my brain. Thank you for ever appearing in my life. I’m fine. Happy Chinese Valentine’s Day!

[59-degree Erguotou]: It's easy to say goodbye to being single by finding the person you love the most, the one you deeply love, the one you love each other with, and the one you are close to. But how many people in the world are together for love?

【R_酱_】：When I first heard this song, I thought it meant "every single person should be beheaded", but it's really scary when I think about it┌(。Д。)┐……

……

Whether Qin Zepian is watching TV series or listening to music, he likes to read the comments first, and he can find a lot of fun from them.

However, most of the comments in the song "Single Love Song" are about lamenting being single.

She raised her chin and said, "What's wrong with being single? I'm single and I'm proud!"

Then, I saw the information of the song: singing/Yunfeng, lyrics/Yunfeng, music/Yunfeng.

Qin Zepian opened his mouth and said "Huh", very surprised.

Yunfeng is her favorite singer recently. Her best friend did not tell her before that the song "Single Love Song" was sung by Yunfeng.

She immediately purchased the download, then cast her phone’s screen onto her TV and played it on her home theater speakers.

The reason why she likes Yunfeng is not only because he writes good songs, but also because of his highly recognizable voice.

"I can't catch love, so I always watch it slip away..."

Time seemed to pass by in a flash, yet also seemed to stand still.

Qin Zepian was lying on the sofa, holding a carrot pillow in his arms, staring blankly at the lyrics scrolling on TV.

"Single Love Song" played over and over again.

Yunfeng's unique voice and the sincere emotions behind it can touch people's hearts directly. The high notes are steady and warm, while the low notes are gentle and affectionate.

Tan Zepian's eyes turned red.

Is it good to be single?

Is love good?

After a long time...

But in the end, her tears did not fall, instead she smiled.

Because Yunfeng sang every word so powerfully, this song sung for single people is not sad or depressing, but full of positivity and optimism.

Qin Zepian picked up his phone and wrote a long review of a hundred words.

"I want to be an optimistic single dog!"

----

Magic City, Azure Music Group.

"Haha, several of my college classmates have already sent me messages on WeChat, asking me how I got the chance to compose accompaniment for the great singer's song."

Cai Junhao is the lead singer and lead guitarist of the band Light Years.

"Me too, some people even asked me for the master's autograph."

“I didn’t expect that there would actually be people who would go and look at the song information.”

"Thanks to God, in general, the song information only lists the singer and the songwriter."

"Yes, every song of the great god lists all the participants."

"We've been in the industry for five years. Are we finally going to be popular?"

……

In Yunfeng’s previous songs, they were only able to participate in the recording of the accompaniment individually, but this time it was different, everyone participated, so the accompaniment column in the song information reads “Light Year Band”.

Although they have been in the industry for many years and have released two albums, their sales were poor and they no longer became popular.

If you just write the names of the band members, basically no one will recognize them. Even if they know the names, they will think they have the same name. But it is different if you use the band's name. There is only one Lightyear band in the world, and you can find it on the online encyclopedia.

Cai Junhao sighed: "A great artist is a great artist. At first I thought that releasing "Because of Love" and "If You Forget" on Chinese Valentine's Day was a big deal, but I didn't expect to release "Single Love Song" as well."

"Who says it's not true? It's really unexpected that a song is sent to singles on a holiday meant for couples."

"If I can make you guess, can I still call you a great god?"

……

Cai Junhao laughed and said, "This song 'Single Love Song' has brought out countless singles. In just a few hours, the purchase and download volume across the entire network has exceeded 500,000, which is more than the total purchase and download volume of 'Because of Love' and 'If You Forget' which were released more than ten hours earlier."

"No, our band alone contributed six downloads."

"Couples are celebrating the festival, shopping during the day and sleeping at night, so they don't have time to listen to music."

……

Cai Junhao plucked the guitar strings and sang: "There are happy people everywhere in the world, why can't I be one of them?"

Several other team members played their instruments and sang along.

At the same time, upstairs, in the artist department.

"What do you think is the relationship between Manager Chen and Yunfeng?" "Friends? Relatives? It's definitely something special."

"Then why don't you sign Yunfeng to our company?"

"That's silly. Cooperation is like starting your own business, but if you sign a contract with a company, you become an employee."

"To be honest, Penguin Entertainment has rejected our applicants, so they probably don't think highly of our company."

……

Several music agents from the Zhanlan Music Group saw that Yunfeng's songs were selling well again, and while chatting, they talked about the relationship between Chen Cheng and Yunfeng.

But they only chatted for a few minutes, because the president and Chen Cheng were both in the office at the moment.

"Does He Qian dislike any of those songs?"

“What do you think of those songs?”

……

Chen Cheng was suddenly speechless.

He asked music producer Zhang Bin about those songs, and he said the quality was average, with only one song being acceptable.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the president sighed and said, "You also know that the company depends on He Qian to become a first-class music company, so the song that He Qian sings when she returns to the music scene must be good, but..."

Chen Cheng took over the conversation and said, "How about we go find some senior songwriters from the top music companies to write songs for us?"

The president sighed again: "Do you know what their offer is?"

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and replied, "Five hundred thousand?"

The president smiled bitterly and said, "It would be fine if it was 500,000. If you want full copyright, it's 3 million per song, and if you want commercial licensing, it's 1 million per song."

Full copyright is equivalent to a buyout, and a song is exclusively owned.

Commercial licensing is equivalent to sharing, where one song can be bought and sold by multiple companies.

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. These companies really dared to offer such a high price.

However, in this era, the ratio of good singers to good songwriters is one thousand to one, which may be a bit exaggerated, but songwriters who are truly talented and can continuously write good songs instead of being a flash in the pan are rare.

These companies spend money to support and sustain them. If you, as an outsider, want to order songs from them, you have to be prepared to be ripped off.

Chen Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "How about I contact those freelance songwriters and see?"

There are three or five senior songwriters who are not signed to any company because they like freedom.

However, it is difficult to make an appointment with them to sing songs. It’s not that the price is high, but there are some requirements, such as specifying the singer. And the release time of the song is uncertain, it may be three to five days, or it may be three to five months.

The president laughed and was waiting for this to happen. He said, "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. You might as well go to Yunfeng instead of them."

Chen Cheng smiled faintly, and then he understood the purpose of the president coming to his office in person, so he asked directly: "How much can our company offer?"

The president held up two fingers.

Chen Cheng blurted out: "Two million?"

The president said unhappily, "How dare you say that."

Chen Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Two hundred thousand?"

The president nodded and said as a matter of course: "Last time, didn't we pay 200,000 yuan for the two songs "Because of Love" and "If You Forget"? Now we're paying 200,000 yuan for each song. That's not a small amount, right?"

Chen Cheng coughed and said, "What we paid 200,000 yuan for is just a commercial license, not the full copyright. Doesn't He Qian's comeback song have to be exclusive?"

The president crossed his legs and said, "Look, didn't Penguin Pictures buy commercial licenses from Yunfeng before? Now there is only Leng Yiming's version of "Swords Like Dreams". I don't think Yunfeng will sing it himself."

Chen Cheng frowned and said, "Yes, Yunfeng may not sing it himself, but if someone else buys the commercial license, then there will be another version."

"Uh..." The president thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense.

Chen Cheng continued, "If you're not afraid of He Qian making trouble in the future, then it's okay."

Because the copyrights on Blue Star are divided into very fine categories, if a singer wants to have a song that belongs to him or her alone, he or she must purchase all the copyrights.

The president pondered for a while and said, "Think of another way..."

Yunfeng’s songs are extremely popular now, and if he were to order a song at this critical juncture, the price would definitely be sky-high.

However, at this moment, Chen Cheng's phone rang.

"Hey, I am."

……

"Okay, okay, I understand."

……

"Goodbye."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone and said to the president, "He Qian's comeback to the music scene may not be in the form of releasing a single."

The president was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chen Cheng explained: "Mango TV has a new variety show called "I Am a Singer", and they have invited He Qian."
