Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 225 You'll definitely be fine!

Chen Cheng's answer delighted Yang Chengang.

Since I've already sold it, being able to publicly reveal my original lyrics and music, as well as my identity as the singer, and enjoy this wave of benefits is already the best outcome for me.

Otherwise, according to the terms of the contract, Chen Cheng could have chosen not to disclose any information to the public.

So he said excitedly, "Dude, thank you so much. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you make this cover song competition a success."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Yang, after I announce your identity information, there will definitely be many TV stations and performances that want to invite you to perform this song live."

Yang Chengang immediately responded, "Buddy, don't worry, I definitely won't go behind your back and use this song for gigs. I've always been a person who values ​​contracts. All the copyrights are in your hands, and I have no right to perform it publicly."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "That's not what I meant, Brother Yang, you misunderstood. What I meant was that if there are similar performances, you can talk to me about it. In principle, I can authorize you to sing this song on TV and in large-scale performances."

Yang Chengang was overjoyed and said, "If you can really give me this authorization, then don't worry, you can decide how the performance revenue is split. You'll definitely get the lion's share, and I'll get a smaller share! Or you can just give me a travel allowance, and I'll be satisfied!"

Yang Chengang knew that the song's popularity was inseparable from Chen Cheng. As long as Chen Cheng could reveal his identity, he would be his benefactor. If Chen Cheng could authorize him to sing the song on TV and in large-scale performances, it would also help him increase his exposure. Whether he made a lot of money or not, or even if he didn't make any money, it didn't matter. With more exposure, he could make money through other songs. As long as his influence could spread, would he still worry about not making money?

Chen Cheng approved of his attitude; this was a true example of someone with a strong sense of contractual responsibility.

So Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Yang, how about this? After my Renren.com company is registered, we can sign a cooperation agreement. In the future, whenever there is a suitable performance, we will invite you to sing this song. The performance fee will be split 50/50 between the company and you. However, I also have my requirements. Whenever you introduce the show, you must mention that this song is Renren.com's annual theme song. And no matter what clothes you wear, as long as you are going to sing this song, you must wear a Renren.com badge on your clothes."

The influence of "Mice Love Rice" is phenomenal and unrepeatable. Yang Chengang must have earned nine figures in his past life just from performance fees. Behind this lies not only huge profits, but also a huge information dissemination capability, or in layman's terms, an advertising effect. The lyrics are from Renren.com, the announcements also mention Renren.com, and the singer must also incorporate elements of Renren.com when he goes on stage. By strengthening these points, every time Yang Chengang sings this song in public, it is equivalent to advertising for Renren.com.

If the platform that invited him to perform disagrees with displaying elements from Renren.com, it's simple: Chen Cheng can directly reject the performance, meaning Yang Chengang can't go, and even if he does, he can't sing the song.

The core motivation behind the TV station inviting Yang Chengang to sing this song was to leverage the song and its enormous influence. If they wanted to achieve this goal, they would have to give Renren.com some benefits.

Yang Chengang naturally had no objection to this. Even if a singer signs with a management company, the performance fees cannot be split 50/50; the company will definitely take the lion's share.

As the copyright holder, Chen Cheng not only allowed me to sing this song, but also gave me 50% of the performance fee, which is already very generous. He had some additional conditions, which I must respect and cannot interfere with.

So the two of them happily made a verbal agreement.

During Friday afternoon's break, the school's radio station announced some good news: Jiangda's women's volleyball team won the bronze medal in the women's volleyball competition at the National College Volleyball Tournament in Beijing.

This is the best result in the history of Jiangda Women's Volleyball Team. The school leaders even decided to hold a commendation meeting for the women's volleyball team next week.

Chen Cheng thought to himself, the competition is over, and Senior Ding Ning should be back soon.

However, she was coming back, but Liu Shiyu was leaving.

Just then, Liu Shiyu called him and asked, "Chen Cheng, are you free on Saturday night? Let's have dinner together."

Chen Cheng asked her, "Has Teacher Liu completed the resignation procedures?"

"Correct."

Liu Shiyu said, "I just finished the formalities and came out. Some colleagues have made plans to have dinner together tonight to see me off. I booked a ticket for Sunday. Ding Ning is also coming back tomorrow. I would like to invite you two to have dinner together."

Chen Cheng quickly said, "Of course I have to pay. I'll arrange it."

Liu Shiyu laughed and said, "That's fine too. Anyway, it's just a farewell dinner together. You're rich, so it's no problem for you to treat us."

Chen Cheng asked her, "By the way, Teacher Liu, would you like to participate in the 'Mice Love Rice' cover song competition? I believe it will be very popular, and the champion will receive a prize of 8 yuan."

Liu Shiyu sighed, "Oh well, I guess I won't participate. To be honest, that song isn't really to my taste; I really can't sing it..."

Then she said very seriously, "But I have to admit, you have a really good eye. I never expected this song to become so popular. You really made the most of that 10 yuan! I'm so impressed!"

Chen Cheng said with a smile, "I just stumbled upon this song by sheer luck. I thought it was catchy and that 100,000 yuan wouldn't be a bad deal. I never expected it to become so popular so quickly."

"By the way, Teacher Liu, why don't you participate in the competition and have some fun? The competition is based on your work, and you don't need to use your real name. You can also give yourself a stage name, like Xiangxiang, Tiantian, or Meimei. If you win an award, you can not only prove your strength but also make money. Isn't that great?"

Liu Shiyu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's talk about it when I get to Yanjing next week." Chen Cheng said, "You'll be very busy when you get to Yanjing. You'll have to find a place to settle down, report to your new workplace, and adapt to your new job. By the time you're done, our registration window will have closed."

Liu Shiyu smiled and said, "I don't need to rush to find a place to settle down when I get to Yanjing. I will stay in a hotel near our orchestra for a while. I can find a house slowly, no rush. If I feel that the orchestra is not as good as I imagined, I may change jobs. In addition, I have my own computer and recording equipment, so I can record a version whenever I have free time."

"That's okay too."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Just don't forget."

Liu Shiyu remembered something and said, "Oh dear, if I participate in this competition, and people recognize my voice as the one that sings those songs, wouldn't that expose me? And they might even suspect that I rigged the competition."

Chen Cheng casually said, "That's easy. You guys who study vocal music must be really good at vocalizing. Just change your feeling and you won't be able to tell the difference, right?"

Liu Shiyu said, "You know this? Okay, I'll think about it."

On Saturday, while the cover song competition was in full swing, Ding Ning and the women's volleyball team returned to Jiangcheng on an overnight sleeper train.

It is said that when they returned to school in the morning, they were received by school leaders and the school also gave them a relatively generous bonus.

In the afternoon, Chen Cheng received a text message: "This is Ding Ning, this is my mobile number."

Chen Cheng quickly replied, smiling as he asked, "Senior, you're back?"

"OK."

Ding Ning smiled and said, "I arrived this morning. I heard your Renren website is doing really well now. Congratulations!"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, senior. Did Teacher Liu tell you about having dinner together tonight?"

"said."

Ding Ning said regretfully, "I was hoping you could learn the piano properly from Teacher Liu, but I didn't expect him to resign so soon."

"These are all small matters."

Chen Cheng smiled and asked her, "Senior, are you still busy with your training tasks?"

Ding Ning said, "I think I'll be a little more relaxed than before, what's wrong?"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Right now, the campus network is recruiting senior students from our computer science department. They are good at technology, but they are lacking in other aspects. I need someone to mainly handle platform promotion and operation. Senior sister, aren't you a journalism major? Are you interested in giving it a try?"

Having worked together in a previous life, Chen Cheng highly approves of Ding Ning's work ability and attitude.

Ding Ning possesses the keen sense and quick reaction ability of a media professional, and is particularly talented in internet new media, adept at understanding user needs.

In their past life, the two collaborated. From the earliest WeChat public account new media operation to the later Douyin, Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu account creation, she was able to operate with ease. She could clearly and accurately grasp the pain points of users, which not only quickly increased the number of fans, but also greatly enhanced the advertising conversion rate. For Chen Cheng, she was simply a buff-level talent.

It's fair to say she was born to work in the internet industry.

Such a partner is extremely rare, and Chen Cheng wants to keep her with him when he starts his business.

In her previous life, she wasted so many years working at the TV station, squandering her time and prime years. Chen Cheng didn't want her to take the same detour again.

Ding Ning had no idea that she would start a business with Chen Cheng in the future, and she had never even considered starting a business in her previous life. The reason she agreed to help Chen Cheng was partly because she had always had feelings for this junior, and partly because she needed an opportunity and a reason to convince herself to completely give up her job within the system.

Right now, she has already started planning her future career path. Her family is not well-off, so she has never planned to pursue a master's degree. She only wants to find an internship opportunity at a TV station in her senior year, preferably before graduation. This way, she can not only work in her favorite major, but also start working and earning money as soon as possible to alleviate her family's financial difficulties.

Chen Cheng suddenly invited her to join the school's intranet, and she was a little taken aback. She stammered, "I've never worked in the internet industry, and I don't even have much work experience. Someone like me would probably only cause you trouble if I went there."

"will not!"

Chen Cheng said, "How about this, after we see Teacher Liu off tonight, can you spare some time for me? I want to have a good talk with you. Trust me, you'll definitely be fine!"
