Huayu 1995

Chapter 119 Making Money While Lying Down (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After the class, Wang Jinsong discovered a shocking fact.

Mist grass!

Are art students this good these days?

After a class.

Sweat started to bead on his forehead.

Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, Hao Lei, Zu Feng, Zhao Huinan, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Huanhuan, Fu Jing, Wu Zhen, Zheng Jiaxin, Li Jie... are all very outstanding.

There are eighteen or nineteen people in a class.

I feel like there's a very high chance... no, I'm confident I can get into one of the top three universities.

It completely overturned his worldview.

"Now, let's all be fair and objective and give our opinions. What do you think of Teacher Wang? Is he qualified to teach this training course?"

At the end of the lesson, Su Chao asked the students a direct question.

"enough!"

Although we are still reluctant to part with the principal, we must also acknowledge Wang Jinsong's talent.

Moreover, rationally speaking, everyone knows that the principal cannot teach indefinitely.

Which school principal will teach forever?

The principal is just too busy.

They leave home at five or six in the morning and don't return until after midnight.

Get up earlier than the rooster!
I sleep later than a dog!
They work harder than oxen!
As for whether the principal or the pig ate more, that's unclear.

"Now everyone has a suitable teacher for their skit classes, and I can rest assured. I will set aside some time each week to give everyone two free classes, not just for skits for art exams... Don't be too sad."

The purpose of running training courses is indeed to make money.

However, there are also many side benefits, especially in building a network of relationships within the entertainment industry.

A fisherman who doesn't aspire to be a godfather in the entertainment industry isn't a good actor.

Su Chao has the advantage of being reborn with foresight, and the training course is the link between him and the future superstar.

The students were then happy.

A round of enthusiastic applause.

"My album is about to be recorded, and I will definitely shoot a music video later. I will give outstanding students the opportunity to appear on screen."

Su Chao also announced the following.

The trainees at the scene were chattering excitedly, each one more excited than the last.

Some people are proud and arrogant and may not want to play minor roles or be background figures, but it's different when they're making a music video for the principal.

This is a principal that everyone loves.

Wang Jinsong was a little reluctant to stop being a teacher for the first time.

After discussing it with the students, we decided to continue the class that evening.

Su Chao accidentally turned on his switch.

Although I haven't decided to become a teacher yet, the seed has already been planted in my heart.

It feels like he'll be moving to live nearby soon.

Su Chao himself continued recording songs.

With Thor's reminder, while he was busy rehearsing the last few songs, he also observed the people in the team.

The more I look, the more suspicious I become.

He actually felt that nearly half of the people were suspected of... well, you know.

That's absolutely outrageous.

These days, there's a serious lack of "Chaoyang masses" (people from Chaoyang District who live in Chaoyang District).

Of course, saying that there's only half a doubt is just a suspicion; Su Chao isn't an expert in this area and really has no way of observing it.

After all, Wang Jinsong looks just like him.

If they were so easy to spot, there wouldn't be so many poisonous insects lurking around.

Su Chao was helpless in the face of this.

The entertainment industry is disgusting, that's a common phenomenon. Even if band members are drug addicts, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll disband on the spot.

And even if you get arrested, you'll be out in a few days at most.

It's mainly about fines.

Su Chao recorded a demo of "Red Bean" tonight.

The musicians at the scene were all discerning; they quickly realized that "Red Bean" was the song they had always dreamed of writing.

"Why doesn't he sing this song himself? It would definitely be a hit!"

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are; there are plenty of people scratching their heads in frustration.

"This song is more suitable for female voices."

Zhang Yadong quickly intervened, not to speak up for Su Chao, but because he was worried that Su Chao might be persuaded and suddenly decide not to sell to the princess.

The princess finally found such a good song.

It is very important for establishing one's status in the music industry.

Clearly, Zhang Yadong's heart leans towards the princess, after all, he and Dou Wei have been friends for many years.

My brother's wife... that's my sister-in-law.

"We've already received the deposit, are we going to back out now? Everyone, please help us record it properly, don't let this song that sold 120,000 copies be disgraced."

Su Chao made the final decision, ending their discussion.

120,000!
The temperature in the rehearsal room suddenly soared because everyone was gasping for air.

If all the cool air is sucked away, then it must be hot.

"This song has 120,000 views?!"

Zhang Yadong only knew that the princess had bought the song from Su Chao, and he thought it was only worth ten thousand yuan.

I never expected it to be 120,000.

Such a high price simply doesn't exist in mainland China, not even for Gu Jianfen.

Although the exact amount of the copyright fees Gu Jianfen received for composing songs and music for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not been disclosed, she has publicly stated that music copyright fees in mainland China are too low.

One minute of background music... three cents!

If Su Chao's song earned him 120,000 yen, it would definitely break the music copyright record in mainland China.

Moreover, this record is unlikely to be shaken by anyone for a very long time to come.

"Is 120,000 yuan just for one song? Or do you have to create several?"

"The princess is too generous."

"Having money makes all the difference; no one in mainland China has ever spent so much money to buy a song before."

"Sister Fei earns a lot, but this price is still quite high."

"Brother Chao, write more! Write ten songs and sell them to her, then why would you even need to release an album?" "Yeah, you can make money just by lying down."

Thor frowned.

That brat is being way too high-profile.

Why did you have to reveal the price when you could have recorded it more discreetly?

Judging from Zhang Yadong's reaction, he seemed to have just learned the price Su Chao paid for the song to the princess.

A song that costs over 100,000 yuan—no one wouldn't be envious.

They often overlook how much effort you put into creating the song, and they don't assess how different their songs are from yours.

They only complain about being underappreciated.

And you... got incredibly lucky.

Moreover, you sold a song for 120,000 yuan, and you still won't pay me back?

"The album still needs to be released. What glory do creators get? Only when the album is released and becomes a hit will we have a chance to see our names on the cover and inside pages, and only then will our value rise accordingly..."

Su Chao has a very good grasp of people's hearts.

His decision to announce the price of "Red Bean" was not driven by vanity.

It's not like what Lu Shuren said, that you should start showing off early.

He's such a low-key person.

I never pretend to be cool!
Rather, it's about using these people to send a message outward.

I'm expensive!
If you don't have a budget, don't come to me.

And don't keep calling my pager all day long; someone calls that thing almost every minute.

It has completely lost its communication function.

It's impossible for Su Chao to call back every number that sends a message.

He could only hand the pager to Lü Bu and tell him to change the number so he could use it as a business tool.

He doesn't dare tell anyone about his new phone number and his new phone.

I only dared to tell a few people I trusted very much; even the trainees in the training course didn't know.

They were afraid that if the information was leaked, their premium phone number would become worthless.

However, if everyone knew that he made 120,000 yuan per song, most of those who tried to take their chances and spend a few thousand or even a few hundred yuan to buy songs from Su Chao would probably give up.

After all, 120,000 is enough to produce a decent album.

If you spend sparingly, you can get two!

Furthermore, ambitious high-end singers would be aware of this.

The princess is offering 120,000 yuan to a newcomer to sing a song!
Then Su Chao would no longer be a newcomer; at least within the industry, he became famous overnight.

Musicians from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong will pay attention to him.

There will inevitably be people who come to him with "sincerity" of more than 100,000 yuan to ask him to write a song.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

As for whether these people would ask him for money to buy that stuff if they knew he had 120,000...

But pull it down.

Su Chao himself is heavily in debt.

You can sleep with me if you want, but you absolutely cannot borrow money from me!

"I feel like I can come here to practice the piano whenever I have free time."

"Boss, hurry up and increase the budget. Brother Chao is a genius who can earn 120,000 yuan in copyright fees."

"Brother Chao, you have to sing well!"

"We've been up for three nights now, Chao Ge, don't let your singing become a weakness!"

"Teacher Lin, why don't you take Brother Chao to the room next door for special training? We'll take care of things here!"

The feelings of jealousy that had just surfaced were immediately replaced by the ambition that I could do it too.

Yes, we're just one chance away.

Success and fame!

Su Chao's song can sell 120,000 copies, and we are qualified to participate in his album.

The rehearsal room isn't as soundproof as the recording studio.

And because it was crowded and stuffy, all the windows were open.

The noise and commotion here make the whole company particularly chaotic.

"What are you doing?"

The short, tall guy leaned against the window and looked inside.

"Hey, what brings you here? How much do you sell a song for these days?"

Some people recognized Gao Xiaosong and knew that he was also a creator.

"Eight thousand!"

Gao Xiaosong gestured.

The title track will be even higher.

He was quite satisfied with the price and often took pride in it, showing off to people in the industry.

"Su Chao sold one song for 120,000 yuan, and it was even sold to the princess. You need to work harder!"

Writers often belittle each other, and musicians are no exception.

Despite his privileged background, Gao Xiaosong is not well-liked by many grassroots musicians.

"Are you kidding me? 120,000... Japanese yen or Thai baht?"

Gao Xiaosong's smile looked somewhat stiff.

"It's definitely true, Zhang Yadong can testify..."

The musicians in the rehearsal room might be jealous of Su Chao, but when an "outsider" questions them, they unite against the outsider.

It's like bragging about how great a friend of mine is.

If anyone refutes his arguments, he will provide various pieces of evidence.

But in reality, he often plays with crickets with his friends behind the scenes.

"It must be true!"

Zhang Yadong is also a creator. Because he works for Dou Wei and Wang Fei, his remuneration is slightly higher.

But 120,000 was a price he never dared to even dream of.

"120,000...120,000!"

Gao Xiaosong was dejected and had no interest in mentioning his friend Zheng Jun.

Su Chao must have slept with the princess.

And it wasn't just once!
