Start with a pop song

Chapter 26 Three Million for a Song
"I heard from Senior Hu Wei that he has become your disciple?"

The next morning.

It's about seven o'clock in the morning.

Song Dao received the message from Yan Yu.

Song Dao, who had just finished practicing his voice in the park downstairs, replied: "Well, you guys didn't drink too much last night, did you?"

Yan Yu: It’s not bad. After you left, Feifei and I drank another bottle each! Even Xixi drank half a bottle and is still sleeping like a pig in bed.

Song Dao: Awesome!
Yan Yu: What are you doing?

Song Dao: Practicing voice in the park.

A emoticon of a golden retriever pointing at you was sent directly over there, and then nothing happened.

I guess she became autistic because of his diligence.

That afternoon, Hu Wei took a taxi to pick him up, and the two of them went to Feiyang Lezhang together. It took them about an hour to get all the contracts done.

Lin Fei then introduced the two to her colleagues in the company and the artists at home.

Everyone was excited when they heard that two new artists had been signed.

——Guys, there’s a handsome guy coming to the company!
Soon someone recognized Song Dao.

"You are... that Song Dao?"

Song Dao nodded.

"Wow!"

A group of little girls and older sisters suddenly exclaimed again.

Extremely enthusiastic.

They really like guys who can write, sing and are handsome!
Looking at these people's reactions, Song Dao felt a sense of magic.

It feels like the Internet and reality are two completely different worlds.

Very divisive.

There are a lot of girls on the Internet who sympathize with Miao Xiu and curse Song Dao.

Here, all you can feel is kindness.

Hu Wei, who is also very handsome, has a relatively low presence.

I can only keep smiling.

But he wasn't jealous.

It's a good thing for the boss that he is popular.

His better days are yet to come.

Lin Fei came over and sent the group of bees and butterflies away.

"Go back to work and stop annoying me. Hu Wei, get familiar with the environment here first, and Song Dao, come with me."

Everyone reluctantly returned to their respective workstations, but their eyes couldn't help but glance towards Lin Fei's office.

"He's so handsome!"

"Did you really spend over a million on your girlfriend?"

"He's so handsome but he won't let me sleep with him? Is that woman seriously ill? If it were me..."

Lin Fei closed the door.

Block out the chirping sounds outside.

Asked Song Dao: "What would you like to drink?"

Song Dao looked at Lin Fei, who looked in great spirits. If it weren't for Yan Yu's message in the morning, he wouldn't have believed that this was the person who drank two bottles of red wine last night.

"Just water, thank you." He sat on the sofa.

Lin Fei took out a bottle of soda water from the refrigerator and handed it to him, then sat on the single sofa diagonally opposite.

"Teacher Song, we are a family from now on. You have seen the situation at the company. I hope you like it."

Song Dao nodded: "The atmosphere is good, I can feel their daily state."

Lin Fei laughed: "You mean their mental state? They are all young people and more lively."

Song Dao chuckled.

Then Lin Fei looked at him and asked, "What are your plans for this song, Hu Wei?"

Song Dao: "I don't know much about operations, I'll listen to Sister Fei."

Lin Fei said: “This is a song of very high quality.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy is about to be aired soon. I want to wait until it has been quiet and has generated a certain response before pushing it out.

I will ask Kong Xi to help promote it, and I will also communicate with Penguin and other platforms to try to get A-level or above resources."

The Legend of Sword and Fairy is the drama that invited Kong Xi to sing the interlude. Song Dao also noticed that it was very popular and became famous before it was aired.

As long as the plot is not too bad, "Look Back" will definitely become popular.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s almost there, after all, a bad drama can produce a great song.

"Sister Fei, just take care of the arrangements." Song Dao said.

I said goodbye to Hu Wei last night, and when I got home I opened the exquisite golden treasure box and found that it was indeed a top song!

A timeless lyrical song in ancient style!
But he hasn't figured out how to let Lin Fei sing yet.

In particular, they all boasted that no matter who it was, if someone sang his songs, he could only take 20% of the profits at most.

I don’t know how Lin Fei will look at him when she turns around?
Do you think he is crazy?

For this song, he went to Shuibo last night to register an account called Shuijisanqian and posted a poem on it.

So far, no one has paid attention.

Anyway, the preparations have already been made in advance, so it just depends on when the right opportunity comes.

After chatting with Lin Fei for a few more words, he stood up and said goodbye.

As a songwriter signed by the company, there is no need to work in the office.

Lin Fei sent him to the door, then returned to the office and called back.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I just had a guest."

A hearty laugh came from the other end. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry to bother you. I'm planning a historical drama, The Three Kingdoms, and I want to ask if you are interested in the soundtrack for this drama?"

"Yes, there must be!" Lin Fei's eyes lit up.

Not to mention that Zhang Yi himself is known as the number one director in the Xia Kingdom, this Three Kingdoms is also a highly anticipated drama of the year.

That era saw the emergence of so many heroes and so many wonderful and moving stories.

This is also the first TV series directed by director Zhang Yi himself!
The industry had already gone crazy about this drama, and countless big names in the entertainment industry had recommended themselves at the Water Expo.

Many of them are movie stars who seldom take on TV dramas, but now they are all excited about this drama "Three Kingdoms".

Lin Fei was not clear about the specific investment amount, but Zhang Yi's name alone was a golden signboard, worth at least several hundred million.

For a drama like this, income is secondary. Being able to participate in its soundtrack is extremely beneficial to the company's reputation!

"Haha, I'm glad you're interested. Let's meet up when it's convenient for you. I'll tell you what I need, but there's one more thing..."

Zhang Yi paused for a moment and said, "There are several other companies competing for the soundtrack for this drama. Although I can make the final decision, it's not my turn to have the final say."

Lin Fei's breathing paused for a moment.

He said calmly, "Director Zhang, rest assured. I will try my best to win. But if I am still not as good as others, it is also a problem of ability. Thank you very much in any case!"

She was quite familiar with Zhang Yi, and they had met at many events in the past. She also admired this senior. But if he hinted that she needed to pay a price to get this job like some people did, she would rather not!

"Haha, Lin Fei, don't get me wrong!" Zhang Yi laughed heartily on the other end of the phone.

He had heard some rumors about this girl, not those messy gossips, but about Lin Fei's character.

I know the temper of this queen who retired from the entertainment industry at a young age.

He immediately explained, "This is what happened. I just finished shooting a movie here. Yao Lian, you should know about this, right?"

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, and said, "That mythical masterpiece that cost more than 1 billion yuan to make and tells the story of Journey to the West?"

"Well, the investment is indeed not small, but now there is a problem that stumps me," Zhang Yi said over there, "Before the filming of this play started, I found Maomao and asked her to come out and sing a song for me, and she agreed at the time.

But something has happened recently.

She found several gold medal producers, but none of them could produce a satisfactory song, so she just rejected it to me stubbornly.

It’s embarrassing to sing if there are no good songs!
You said what happened. We have been friends for many years and I can't get angry with her.

Her decision to stand me up caught me off guard.

When you first debuted, some people said that you have a wide range of singing styles and can handle any genre.

I want to ask, are you interested in singing a song for this Demon Love?

Just something with an ancient and lyrical style will do.

Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I heard from several old friends that it's not that you don't want to sing, you just can't find good songs.

Just like Maomao, I would rather not sing if there is no good song.

A few days ago, I heard from Xiao Peng that you had released a pretty good song, so I went to his place to listen to it.

It feels pretty good and fits the plot very well, which shows that the creator is a very talented person.

Since the singer is from your company, you should also know the composer, right?

So do you want to try it?

Don't worry, I have some connections in the circle. If you come out to sing and someone dares to slander you, I will speak up for you!"

Listening to Director Zhang talking a lot on the other end, Lin Fei thought to herself, this is another desperate person trying any possible means to cure his illness.

She did not doubt Director Zhang's power and credibility, and he would definitely help her if he said so.

But the question is…what does she sing?
It seems that if a big director of Zhang Yi's level wants to find someone to write a movie theme song, there will definitely be a lot of people flocking to him.

But there are very few singers who can catch his eye and be chosen by him!
He may not even take many superstars seriously.

Lin Fei, who was originally planning to refuse outright, suddenly thought of Song Dao and immediately took back her words of refusal.

Then he burst into laughter.

No matter how talented he is, he may not be able to write what Director Zhang wants, right?
Director Zhang’s requirements must be extremely high!
If you want to create a song that satisfies him, you must first be educated, secondly you must have profound experience, and finally you must be very familiar with the mythical novel Journey to the West!

He definitely wouldn't like those cheesy songs about love.

Even though she didn't say much on the phone, there's a high probability that Sister Maomao had published several editions for him!

With Sister Maomao's status and connections in the music industry, not to mention gold medal producers, even hall-of-fame godfathers can be invited to perform.

Since she chose to withdraw, it must be that not only she was not satisfied with the song, but Director Zhang was also not satisfied with it.

Finding her obviously means that there is no better choice, but it may also be that he is attracted by her traffic.

Her latest blog post has once again caused a stir, proving that even after retiring from the entertainment industry for several years, her traffic is still formidable.

It’s not a problem to get her traffic, everyone understands it, it’s an unspoken understanding.

Zhang Yi on the other end of the phone continued, "Although it's vulgar to talk about money, I still want to say this. Before, Maomao was asking for a hundred yuan as a friendly price for the right to use it. If you are okay with it, I will pay three hundred yuan, still just for the right to use it, just for movie promotion!"

Three million for the rights to use a song.

Lin Fei, who didn't care that much about money, was also tempted.

When she was at her most popular, not counting endorsements, this was probably the price for a normal commercial performance or singing two or three songs.

But that was back then. For her now, three million is really a lot to buy the rights to use a song.

"Director Zhang, can I consider it?"

"No problem!" Director Zhang agreed readily. "Call me anytime when you've thought it over. I'm in Beijing preparing for Three Kingdoms. We can meet anytime!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fei fell silent.

Do you really not want to sing anymore?
Never!
Just as many people in the circle guessed, her withdrawal from the circle was partly due to the online blackmail, and partly because she simply didn’t have any good songs.

In fact, she has never fallen behind in her basic skills over the years!
I practice my voice in the soundproof room of my villa every day, and learn various musical knowledge whenever I have time.

Now that I am nearly thirty years old, to use the words in martial arts novels, my skills have almost reached perfection!

There is almost nothing she cannot master, including bel canto, lyrical, rock, folk, classical, folk and even foreign styles.

There was a reason why so many music industry veterans were optimistic about her back then.

The title of the last queen of Xiayu music was not given by netizens, but came from the mouths of some veterans in the circle!
She retired from the music scene quietly that year, and many people felt sorry for her.

She herself also felt extremely regretful.

But what can I do?

The whole network is black.

No songs yet.

I tried writing my own songs, but it didn’t work.

Even though he graduated from Kyoto University, he still lacks the ability in this area.

This thing ultimately depends on talent.

At this time, a series of message alert sounds came from the mobile phone.

Lin Fei, who has no group and very few friends, did not set her phone to mute, and no one would normally send her messages like this.

He frowned slightly.

I picked it up and took a look at it, and was suddenly speechless.

This is a detailed plot summary of "Demon Love" and "Three Kingdoms" sent by director Zhang Yi.

Even if the filming of Demon Love has been completed, it cannot be easily spread to outsiders.

The Three Kingdoms hasn't even started filming yet, so it shouldn't be shown to the public.

Obviously, the other party also knew that with her status, she must know her limits.

"The old man is very cunning. He didn't threaten me, but he was telling me that if I accept the interlude of Demon Love, the soundtrack of Three Kingdoms will also be mine. If I don't accept it, I might not get it..."

Lin Fei rolled her eyes and pouted.

Then I saw another message from Director Zhang: Xiaolin, please take a look at the information about the Three Kingdoms. If possible, please also make its theme song and interlude for me. It would be best if you sing them. The price is negotiable.

Lin Fei: “…”

It's no problem for you to catch this sheep of mine and pluck it.

But what can I use to create for you?
But it is unlikely that the other party is looking for only her.

Think for a moment.

Simply break the jar and throw it away.

Forward this information directly to Song Dao——

"Teacher Song, please study it and see if you can create a few songs based on the plot. If not, forget it. But remember not to spread the information to others."
