Jiang Chen and Zhao Yunxuan were university classmates.
They met, understood each other, and fell in love.
From campus life to society, their startup business succeeded, and they were a...
The composer of the film "The Ex-Files 3" succinctly introduced himself and stated his purpose.
Upon learning that the composer of the movie "The Ex-Files 3" was asking him for the broadcasting rights to "Say Goodbye When You Want" and "Decent", Jiang Chen felt that his chance to become a household name across the country had come.
"The Ex-Files 3" was a hit in a parallel universe, grossing 2 billion yuan.
At the time, they were among the very few.
The songs "Say Goodbye When You Want" and "Decent" from the film also became very popular as the movie was a box office hit.
Yu Wenwen became famous overnight because of "Decent".
Yuan Yawei also received much attention because of "Say Goodbye When You Want".
With the copyright to these two songs, he's sure to become a sensation across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
"Copyright is fine, but the money has to be right!"
Composer: "Mr. Jiang, how much do you want?"
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "100,000! 200,000 for two songs!"
Although the price isn't much, Jiang Chen is a newcomer after all, so his asking price is too high.
What gives him the right?
Composer: "Mr. Jiang, isn't your price a bit too high?"
Jiang Chen countered, "Where is it high?"
Composer: "If we go by market rates, a newcomer like you would get at most ten or twenty thousand yuan per song, but usually it's only a few thousand yuan!"
Jiang Chen responded confidently.
"If I understand correctly, the copyright fee is based on the song's popularity, right?"
"Both of my songs are on the new song chart, and they're in the top two."
"These are the results after several days of publication!"
"I believe these two songs will become even more popular over time!"
"So I don't think this price is expensive!"
Jiang Chen even knew about the market?
He thought Jiang Chen was as easy to fool as other newbies.
Composer: "How about this, I'll give you 50,000 per song, how about that?"
Jiang Chen remained silent.
"This is a big production team, why are they being so stingy with the money?"
Is it really that difficult to come up with 100,000?
"I've still managed to negotiate a lower price!"
"If it weren't for the potential for 'The Ex-Files 3' to become a huge hit, I wouldn't have priced it so low!"
The composer was taken aback.
How could Jiang Chen know that "The Ex-File 3" had the potential to become a hit before it was even released?
"Mr. Jiang, 'The Ex-Files 3' hasn't even been released yet, how do you know it will be a hit?"
Jiang Chen responded.
"I guessed based on the movie synopsis!"
"Movies that are down-to-earth are more easily accepted by audiences!"
"With good background music and a great atmosphere, you have a chance to become a huge hit!"
The composer felt like he had encountered a monster.
I always felt that Jiang Chen was unfathomable.
I know a lot about things.
"Alright!"
"100,000 yuan a song it is!"
Jiang Chen reassured him.
You didn't lose out!
"I sold hundreds of thousands of copies of 'Decent' in just one day!"
"Its popularity is higher than you think!"
"The Ex-Files 3 will be a hit because of it!"
The composer was even more confused.
"Since 'The Ex-Files 3' is going to be a hit because of it, why doesn't Mr. Jiang raise the price?"
Jiang Chen confessed.
"It's just a matter of each getting what they need!"
"I currently do not have the funds to promote myself!"
"If the movie becomes a hit, the song will become a hit too, and I'll become a hit too!"
I see.
What a vixen!
Cunning and calculating!
He absolutely refused to believe that Jiang Chen was a young man.
Composer: "Mr. Jiang, may I ask your age?"
Personal information will be exposed sooner or later.
Jiang Chen didn't hide anything: "26 years old!"
26 years old?
This must be a young person who is inexperienced in the ways of the world, right?
Why does he look 36 years old?
That's terrifying.
I feel like he's a freak.
Composer: "Mr. Jiang is young and promising! I admire him!"
Jiang Chen: "If we're talking about the standards for young idols, I'm a seasoned pro!"
Composer: "These young heartthrobs are all made famous by capital; they don't have much talent of their own. On the other hand, Mr. Jiang has topped the new song charts based on his own abilities, and his future is promising!"
Jiang Chen: "I hope so!"
Composer: "Then let's have a pleasant collaboration?"
Jiang Chen: "OK!"
The composer obtained 200,000 yuan from Director Tian for copyright acquisition, paid the composer to Jiang Chen, and signed an electronic contract.
With a profit of 200,000 yuan, Jiang Chen felt that life was getting better and better.
He can finally stop worrying about debt.
No sooner had the money been received than creditors, including building materials companies, loan companies, and raw material suppliers, started calling via WeChat to demand repayment.
The songs "Say Goodbye When You Want" and "Decent" are quite popular on Douyin.
Merchants who frequently browse Douyin (TikTok) stumbled upon these two songs.
Upon learning that both songs were sung by Jiang Chen, they assumed that Jiang Chen had money in his pocket.
The first company to call was a building materials company.
Building materials company: "Mr. Jiang, you've had a good time these past few days!"
Jiang Chen: "It's alright!"
Building materials company: "Did you sing 'Say Goodbye When You Want' and 'Decent'?"
Jiang Chen: "That's right! It was me who sang it!"
The building materials company's boss was taken aback.
Wow, that's awesome!
"It can even sing!"
"But I remember you were tone-deaf, how come you can sing all of a sudden?"
"And your singing is superb, your voice is like heavenly music, it even made me cry!"
When discussing business with Jiang Chen, they often went to KTVs for entertainment.
Jiang Chen sang terribly every time.
Over time, he stopped wanting to discuss cooperation with Jiang Chen at the KTV.
