Huayu 1995

Chapter 253 Where There's a Will, There's a Way (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets)
"I was the one who pursued her. I liked her so much that I couldn't resist. I originally planned to focus on my career."

Su Chao smiled shyly.

He wasn't just making things up.

He originally intended to make money professionally, thinking that once he had money, he could have any woman he wanted.

Unfortunately, he ran into Lin Zhimeng.

If you miss it, you might not be able to find one like it again.

After hesitating for a while, I made the decisive decision to go for it.

Whether a forced relationship is sweet or not.

Twist it off and put it in your pocket.

Lin Zhimeng sat down next to Su Chao, placed her hand on his thigh, first pressed it to check its firmness, and then twisted it hard.

I'll kill you, you little bastard.

Unfortunately, Su Chao didn't seem to notice anything at all, and even turned around and smiled at her.

"You two have such a good relationship... and you're both musicians."

The princess found them pleasing to the eye.

But her reasoning is actually invalid.

So what if they're all musicians? Dou Wei and his ex, Princess and her ex, were all musicians, and they still broke up.

Meanwhile, the princess and Dou Wei's relationship also ran into problems.

The two disagreed on many things.

Once the novelty wears off, all the conflicts emerge.

Dou Wei is... not a faithful man.

Of course, this kind of thing was foreshadowed long ago. If he had been faithful, the princess wouldn't have had a chance.

As Mr. Lu Shuren once said, "Those who are three will inevitably be targeted by three."

"Thank you, Sister Fei. Oh, by the way, I have a few songs that I think would suit you well. Take a look and see if any of them interest you. If so, you can choose one or two."

Su Chao did not require the princess to pack the leftovers.

He finally discovered it.

As long as the song quality is decent, these established singers are very willing to spend money.

They only complain about the lack of songs; there's no question of selection whatsoever.

We must have them all!
"Okay!"

The princess forgot about eating and stared longingly at Su Chao.

Su Chao took out several cassette tapes.

The song consists of four tracks: "I Don't Want It to Be Like This," "Your Happiness Makes Me Happy," "Dark Surge," and "Face."

They weren't too expensive when they were bought; the four songs together cost just over 100,000 yuan.

Actually, "Goodbye Second Avenue" is also very suitable for the princess to sing, but Su Chao couldn't bear to sing it.

"Goodbye Second Avenue" is one of Miriam Yeung's representative works.

There's no problem with a man singing.

"so much!"

The princess felt that her invitation to dinner had not been in vain.

Actually, she should have had dinner with the record company executives after the press conference.

We can discuss some details regarding promotion at that time.

Although the record company is counting on her to make money, resources are limited. If she doesn't maintain good interpersonal relationships, even if she's a superstar, she can easily suffer in silence.

Even if he doesn't have dinner with people from the record company, the album production team isn't just Su Chao alone.

She was determined to invite only Su Chao and his girlfriend in order to win Su Chao over and get him to write some more good songs for her.

At her level, all she can value are good songs, a continuous stream of good songs.

Now it's time to verify the results.

After Su Chao brought the sample over, he ignored her.

Nothing needs to be explained.

You can just take the complete sample tape and listen to it directly.

Su Chao had dinner with Lin Zhimeng.

Making money and picking up girls at the same time.

The four songs were listened to in about ten minutes. After listening, the princess looked at Su Chao with bright eyes.

In his eyes, Su Chao suddenly became more attractive than the male models at the club.

This is simply a treasure trove!

"I'm done eating..."

Lin Zhimeng said in a low voice.

She has a very small appetite; she eats like a kitten.

All the nutrients are concentrated in one place.

"Mengmeng, why don't you peel the shrimp for me? I already peeled them for you."

The restaurant offers a meal service, but with the princess present, it's impossible to have a waiter come in to serve her.

"You can eat it with the skin on."

Lin Zhimeng said that, but in the end she still picked up a shrimp.

"Sister Fei, have you finished listening? Which song do you choose?"

While enjoying Lin Zhimeng's services, Su Chao inquired about the princess.

As for how well the princess ate, who cares?

"I heard that your songs are now priced at 100,000 plus 2% royalties. Is that still the price?"

The princess asked about the price.

A price of 100,000 plus 2% royalties isn't considered very high. A single, well-written by Lin Xi, if of high quality, can sell for over 100,000 plus 2% to 5% royalties.

Moreover, he only writes lyrics.

We also need to find someone to compose and arrange the music. All told, a song could earn us over 200,000 plus 8% royalties.

Even so, it is still very difficult to obtain a single piece.

Good songs are priceless.

Su Chao's lyrics are no less impressive than Lin Xi's, and his compositions are also top-notch, holding his own.

He even took care of the arrangement and instrument configuration.

Using his songs can save a lot of time and money.

Even the production team of the Princess felt that Su Chao's level was very high and that he was a rare all-rounder.

The company's senior management kept urging the princess to dig Su Chao out of that damned Red Star Production Company.

Such a multitalented individual is a rare resource for any record company, no matter how large.

The princess and Chan Kin-tim have a grudge.

However, they still managed to communicate through Zhang Yadong and Chen Jiantian.

To put it bluntly, how much money would it take to buy Su Chao?

This isn't the first time Chan Kin-tim has sold people.

He sold the princess to Luo Dayou back then.

However, Chen Jiantian did not sell this time.

He proudly stated that Red Star Production Cooperative now holds a 27% stake in the Su Chao Company.

Whoever can poach Su Chao will be called "Dad".

The princess was stunned.

They're really willing to spend a fortune.

Don't be fooled by the fact that record industry giants might set up a record company for someone; the percentage they actually receive is very small.

"Yes, all four songs are the same price, regardless of their quality. You can choose any one of them."

Su Chao has no trouble selling his goods anyway.

If the princess had any songs she didn't want, he would immediately contact Kelly Chen.

There are rich women everywhere in this world.

"Can I have them all?"

As expected, the princess chose to have both.

"It's not impossible, but wouldn't putting so many songs on one album be too costly?"

Su Chao knew that the Princess's album was selling well.

But the market is what it is, and if you want to make money, you can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure. If you raise costs too high, you still won't make much money.

"I usually release two to three albums a year. I don't lack songs now. I plan to release one in February, one in June, one in October, and three albums next year."

Princess wouldn't put so many good songs on one album like Su Chao.

The cost of creating non-mainstream works is very low.

Even a lyricist of Lin Xi's caliber only earns ten or twenty thousand yuan for writing lyrics that aren't his main works.

"Three albums a year is not bad. I should also release an album next February."

Su Chao scratched his head. He had originally wanted to avoid Andy Lau, so he came in February, but he didn't expect to run into the princess.

"An album isn't a movie, so a clash won't have that much of an impact."

After all, when people go to a music and video store, they rarely buy just one cassette tape.

"Alright then, you can have them all."

Su Chao agreed, saying he could earn at least two or three hundred thousand from this deal.

The fiscal pressure has finally eased.

Previously, relying on the one million given by Uncle Lin, they went on a shopping spree, buying many songs but not selling them in order to prepare for the new album.

He not only spent all the money he had, but also a significant portion of Uncle Lin's million.

Now the hole has finally been filled.

Generally speaking, the first batch of royalties can be settled three months after the album is released, and Su Chao will soon have money.

Moreover, the amount of money we can get this time is quite substantial.

After deducting the distribution channels, promotion, and record company revenue, Su Chao would have no problem getting a million-dollar sum.

A millionaire born in 95—that's an exceptionally high level of wealth.

When those internet giants first started out, they could only get a few million dollars in investment.

"Thank you, Chaozai..."

The princess's eyes were practically drool-worthy.

Lin Zhimeng couldn't help but recall what Su Chao had said before.

as long as you try very hard, you can achieve anything.

If one surprise after another comes crashing in, it's not impossible to grind an iron pestle until it produces water.

It's quite possible that the princess will take a liking to Su Chao.

Come on, ah~ open your mouth~

Lin Zhimeng peeled a shrimp and, instead of putting it on Su Chao's plate, fed it directly to him.

Su Chao was almost stunned.

Of course, he only hesitated for a few seconds before eating the shrimp without any hesitation.

Lin Zhimeng's face felt a little hot.

She picked up a napkin and vigorously wiped her hands.

That little rascal Su Chao just licked her again.
