Chapter 13 013 First Sale of Copyright

The song was written by Shen Qing, and the copyright is also held by Shen Qing.

Therefore, no one was surprised by Zhang Liangying's reaction. However, the way she asked for opinions was just like a girl coaxing her boyfriend.

What does this mean?
Are they on good terms?

Of course! But that's not entirely true; it also demonstrates how well Shen Qing trained him.
"Indeed, behind every successful woman is a man with even greater strength."

Zhang Lu said with a hearty laugh.

"Shen Qing, based on my years of experience in music copyright management, your song has huge potential for widespread dissemination."

"First, the melody is catchy; second, the lyrics are easy to remember; and the overall mood is very trendy..."

"Just like Hei Nan said, it feels like being in love."

"If we, Taihe Wheatfield, were to manage 'East and West,' I guarantee it would be a hit and quickly bring Zhang Liangying a lot of popularity..."

"And rest assured, the profit-sharing ratio and copyright ownership will absolutely satisfy you."

Shen Qing responded politely to Zhang Lu's sincere invitation.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Zhang, but this is my first time writing a song, and even more so, my first time discussing copyright cooperation. I really have no experience, so please forgive me if there are any shortcomings..."

"Haha, no problem, no problem, let's find a place to eat and chat."

……

After a few beers, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Besides Shen Qing, Zhang Liangying, and Zhang Lu, there were also Wang Han, Hei Nan, and You Weiwei at the table. As for the other judges, such as Ke Yimin, they had all gone home first.

Ke Yimin criticized Zhang Liangying today, so she's probably too embarrassed to come.

Hei Nan raised his glass and said, "Liang Ying, don't take it to heart. Yi Min is just straightforward and doesn't have any bad intentions. Keep up the good work in the next game. I have high hopes for you."

Zhang Lu shrugged, as if he wanted to say something.

But seeing that Hei Nan and Ke Yimin got along well, he shook his head and said, "I'll be in the next match too. If you perform normally, I guarantee you'll advance."

Zhang Liangying downed her drink in one gulp and said with a smile, "Thank you everyone!"

Wang Han clinked glasses with Shen Qing, smacked his lips, and asked, "Shen Qing, did you just write this song a few days ago? It wasn't something you had prepared beforehand, was it?"

Everyone was very curious about this.

After all, those who can complete a highly polished song in just two or three days are all established and talented musicians.

Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, JJ Lin...

Especially Wang Feng!
He handles all the lyrics, composition, and arrangement himself, basically not letting anyone else help, and he releases songs incredibly fast...

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Shen Qing coughed.

It's time to show off.

He gave a harmless smile and said, "Actually, writing songs isn't that difficult. If I have an idea, I'll write it down; if I don't, I'll wait and write it later."

Hei Nan: "I want to hit someone!"

Zhang Lu: "Haha, you can't just brag. Will you come up with a new song for the next match?"

Wang Han: "Looking forward to it! If she releases another new song, Zhang Liangying is practically guaranteed a spot in the top three of the national finals..."

Zhang Liangying is even more excited!

in case……

It would be so great if you released another new song!
Zhang Liangying tilted her head, already imagining the moment she would sing an original song again, how much attention she would receive from thousands of people...

But he probably can't write it anymore, right?

Zhang Liangying looked at Shen Qing, lost in thought...

Writing songs is not that easy!
She's written countless songs since becoming a singer, but very few are actually sung; it's just too difficult...

Unless, Shen Qing is truly a genius?

at the same time.

Shen Qing spoke up: "The next competition will involve at least two rounds of singing. I've prepared two songs for Liangying: one a cappella, and the second full-on performance..."

Zhang Lu: "Two songs, really?"

Shen Qing: "Of course!"

Zhang Lu: "Haha, then you absolutely must grant me the license. We'll stick to the price we agreed on earlier, splitting the royalties 50/50, and the copyright belongs to you." Shen Qing: "Happy to cooperate!"

Zhang Liangying's eyes sparkled, her heart surging with joy. "I'm so happy! He not only styled my hair beautifully, but also planned my singing career and let me experience the joy of being a woman... Shen Qing, are you a god sent to me by heaven!?"

"Oh, Zhang Liangying?"

"Oh my god! Come quick, it really is Zhang Liangying! Teacher Hei Nan and Teacher Wang Han are here too!"

"Oh my god..."

It was discovered by a kind-hearted citizen.

Shen Qing quickly pulled Zhang Liangying, preparing to leave first: "Teachers, we have to go now, it wouldn't be good if others saw us."

Wang Han nodded: "Okay, you guys go first, let's get together again next time."

Zhang Lu said, "Shen Qing, I'll bring the contract over tomorrow. See you tomorrow!"

Hei Nan and You Weiwei also got up to see them off.

If citizens were to film contestants and judges drinking and eating together in a singing competition, it would be like mud falling into your crotch—impossible to explain.

……

Return to the hotel.

It's already 10:30.

Shen Qing looked at the shabby little room and made a decision against her budget, "Liangying, let's go to a better hotel. Staying here is too shabby."

Zhang Liangying giggled and said, "We haven't made any money yet!"

Shen Qing put his arm around her shoulder and said casually, "With me here, making money won't be difficult. Just remember to protect your voice..."

Suddenly something came to mind~
Shen Qing pinched her red lips and teased, "You need to be careful in the future, protect your voice. Don't be as reckless as before, going too deep is bad for your voice."

Zhang Liangying smiled secretly, "No, if you like it that way, what will you do if I don't do it?"

Shen Qing: "..."

She knows me so well!

But Shen Qing had already decided that he would never take advantage of Zhang Liangying's voice; it was their livelihood, and they had to cherish it.

After packing their luggage, the two moved directly to a four-star hotel.

Although the price was extremely high, Shen Qing felt it was worth it. Life was already so hard, why not enjoy life to the fullest?

After signing the "Letter of Intent for Granting Copyright of the Song 'East and West'" with Taihe Wheat Field tomorrow, Zhang Lu will transfer the first batch of 5 yuan in intent money to Shen Qing's personal account.

As for why the money is paid first...
It's all because we're too poor!

Shen Qing had less than 300 yuan left. If no more money came in, she would be starving.

……

The next day.

The letter of intent was successfully signed.

Once Shen Qing completes the song copyright registration, Taihe Rye Music will be able to release the single.

Of course, they could also collaborate with online music platforms and major radio stations to further expand the influence of "East and West".

Shen Qing will receive half of the profits generated above.

But what Shen Qing wanted most was the ringback tone service.

It's worth noting that the song "Mice Love Rice" earned Yang Chenggang tens of millions of yuan just from ringtones; he lived off that one song for the rest of his life.

Although "East and West" may not reach that level, it can easily earn several million. The question is whether it will be noticed by China Mobile.
That depends on Taihe Wheatfield's capabilities.

At 2:30 p.m., Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and checked their account balance, which totaled 50010.50 yuan.

So much money...

Zhang Liangying was also seeing this for the first time. She excitedly hugged Shen Qing and said, "Qing, can we really make a lot of money in the future? I'm so happy..."

Shen Qing patted her back and said with a faint smile, "Of course, this is just the beginning. In the future, I'm going to buy a hundred Rolls-Royces and let them collect dust in the garage."

Zhang Liangying: "Huh? Why isn't it open?"

Shen Qing: "Because a garage full of 100 cars makes it even more impressive!"
