Chapter 32
After Su Xingyao said this, the room instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were all turned to him.
"What did you say, cat?"
The person who spoke was Sheng Yan. He looked at Su Xingyao with curiosity and surprise, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Can you get a hold of Lance?"
Su Xingyao was a little uncomfortable being suddenly looked at by everyone with high expectations.
He didn't say anything else, just nodded the cat's head gently.
Su Xingyao's movement was not big, but when he nodded, Sheng Yan's eyes changed instantly when he looked at him! !
The other contestants were also delighted and immediately felt that their confidence was rekindled by this action.
The rapper was the first to come back to his senses.
He was a little excited and didn't even care about the camera recording. He just shouted "Wow, that's awesome!"
The singer next to him still had some sense. Although he had a lot to say, he thought that there was not much time left for practice, so he finally said to Su Xingyao, "Quick, quick, Maomao, can you try to contact them now?"
Seeing that everyone was anxious, Su Xingyao spoke again, "Okay. Everyone wait for me for a moment, I'll go ask first."
Time was indeed very tight, and Su Xingyao did not delay.
After leaving the practice room, he immediately found a place away from cameras, took out his cell phone and dialed Lance's number.
However, the call lasted for a long time until the system automatically disconnected and the other party did not answer.
Su Xingyao had actually anticipated this.
He looked at the phone interface and guessed that the other party was probably composing his own new song.
Because usually when he is writing songs, he will turn off anything that may disturb him.
Others don’t understand Lance, but Su Xingyao has already figured out his habits very well.
Lance, a music fanatic, usually spends 70% of his time creating music.
The remaining thirty percent is trying to find ways to break through the limits of their own music.
With his devilish schedule, it was normal that Sheng Yan couldn't contact him last night.
Thinking of this possibility, Su Xingyao became a little worried about the time for his team.
Their group really needs the copyright of this song now, but if the copyright cannot be obtained quickly, subsequent rehearsals will definitely be affected.
Su Xingyao called again, but the call didn't go through, so she took out WeChat and sent a voice message to the other party, hoping that the other party would see it when he was done with his work.
Influenced by Su Xingyao, all of his roommates now use WeChat, and they almost always use it to communicate with each other, so in addition to the phone, this has become the most commonly used tool for communication between them.
Su Xingyao quickly pressed the voice button and sent two messages to the other party.
"Lance, are you busy now?"
"I have something urgent to talk to you about."
Su Xingyao had just sent two voice messages when his phone rang immediately.
Lance called him back.
Su Xingyao immediately clicked the answer button, but because she clicked too quickly, the cat's paw slipped and she successfully answered the call the second time.
The moment she pressed the answer button, Su Xingyao heard an extremely pure foreign language.
"This is unbelievable!! Haruka, you called me!!"
Before Su Xingyao could even call out Lance's name, the emotionally excited Lance quickly switched to aggrieved mode and his tone dropped a little.
"You haven't contacted me for a long time..."
But it went up again, "Three months, seventeen days and fifteen hours!"
Hearing Lance's aggrieved complaint, Su Xingyao quickly apologized, "Ah, sorry."
After Lance's reminder, Su Xingyao thought about it.
He hadn't been in touch with the other party for a long time.
The most recent contact was when I changed my number and added the other person as a friend.
But at that time Lance was busy rehearsing for his concert, and he only said a few simple words to his friend after he met him.
Su Xingyao knew that this would definitely not be considered a formal contact in the eyes of the other party.
So...the last time they had formal contact was before he fell off the cliff.
A bit too long indeed.
Although each of his roommates is more talented than the other, each of them has a more eccentric and arrogant personality.
They rarely take the initiative to contact each other. Over the years, their difficult roommate relationship has been maintained entirely by his active contact.
So if he didn't contact the other party, they would not be able to say a word to each other for a long time.
Lance on the other end of the phone was obviously easy to coax.
As soon as Su Xingyao apologized, she snorted like a proud big dog, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
After saying this to Su Xingyao in a nice way, Lance seemed to remember something and his tone became a little gritted again.
"But that guy Leon deliberately posted on WeChat Moments two months ago to show off the signal booster he sent you."
Lance couldn't help but complain, "Why did he start doing this kind of shit? Is it because he doesn't have enough funds to continue?"
Although Su Xingyao's four roommates have lived together for four years, they are usually in chaos when they see each other.
Especially Lance and Leon, one is a music fanatic and the other is a technology expert. They look down on each other and start complaining crazily when they meet.
When Lance mentioned the signal booster, Su Xingyao explained to him, "He was worried that I would have no signal when I went to the mountains to film..."
Lance immediately changed his words upon hearing this, "Did you use it?"
“I used it.”
"Oh... then he is still somewhat useful."
When Su Xingyao heard Lance's muffled voice, she couldn't help laughing when she thought of the unconvinced but helpless look on his face.
If it were in the past, Su Xingyao would have chatted with Lance about some nonsense.
However, he had a mission to complete today, so he had to stop and directly tell the other party about the problems he encountered.
"Lance..." Su Xingyao said, "It's like this. I'm currently participating in a singing program called 'The Voice of Nature'."
"We have a competition coming up and we need to use your song."
Su Xingyao briefly told Lance about how she concealed her identity to participate in the program and the current situation after her team was divided into groups.
Lance agreed generously after hearing this, "That's absolutely no problem. It doesn't matter if it's a cover or an adaptation. Just use it directly. Don't worry about it."
After Su Xingyao made this call, she quickly returned to the practice room.
When the anxiously waiting crowd saw Su Xingyao returning, it was like looking at a hero returning in triumph.
"How's it going, kitty?"
Sheng Yan took a few steps towards him and asked him anxiously.
Because of the hood, Sheng Yan couldn't see Su Xingyao's expression at all, so he was not sure about the final copyright outcome.
Although emotionally he believed that Su Xingyao would not brag or talk big.
But intellectually, he knew how difficult this was.
Even though everyone was secretly wondering why Maomao was able to contact Lance, now that they saw that he had returned so quickly, they were actually a little worried, fearing that he hadn't even been able to get through on the phone.
After all, he is a notoriously difficult musical genius, and he only attends foreign award ceremonies depending on his mood.
Sheng Yan was just thinking about it when he heard a mechanical electronic sound.
"We should be able to start practicing now. He has agreed."
Hearing this, everyone except Sheng Yan looked at Su Xingyao without blinking.
Hearing him announce the result so casually, everyone felt a sense of unreality.
At this moment, an assistant from Sheng Yan's team rushed into the practice room and shouted to Sheng Yan in surprise, "Brother Yan, the Lance team has contacted the production team!"
The assistant spoke a little loudly because he was anxious, and everyone in the practice room heard his every word.
Actually...it's really done?
So... is it that easy?
The contestants were a little confused.
After all, this was something that mentor Sheng Yan couldn't accomplish even after spending a whole night on it.
But Boss Cat did it so easily...!
He just went out to make a phone call, and it didn't even take him ten minutes in total!
The emotions on the contestants' faces at this moment cannot be described in words.
Six big words appeared madly in their minds:
Cat boss is awesome!
The contestants looked at Su Xingyao one after another, their eyes filled with an expression of worshipping the big boss.
Boss Maomao is not only talented and has great singing skills, but his network of contacts is also really amazing... He can solve problems with just 24G internet speed!
As a mentor, Sheng Yan was also surprised by such fast efficiency. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses and ask Su Xingyao.
"Cat...how did you do that?"
If he had not gone to look for it himself and encountered obstacles everywhere, he would have believed that this matter was as simple as it seemed.
When asked, Su Xingyao did not answer immediately.
The roommate relationship between Lance and I is a bit complicated to explain, and explaining it would only draw more attention.
And considering that Lance didn't like to expose his privacy, Su Xingyao thought about it and said vaguely.
"I knew him when I was in school and added him on WeChat..."
Su Xingyao, who seldom lied, lowered her eyelids guiltily and couldn't help rubbing her gloved hands together.
He was afraid that everyone would discover the bug of why an overseas person added him on WeChat...
But obviously no one noticed these small details at this time, but instead mistakenly thought that Su Xingyao and Lance were classmates.
Everyone makes this association based on Su Xingyao's musical skills.
Because just now when Su Xingyao went out to make a phone call, people who didn't know Lance also checked and found out that the other party was attending a very famous and particularly difficult to enter music college in the world.
And those who can get in are almost all very powerful and capable.
In everyone's opinion, Su Xingyao must have received very professional training to be so top-notch, so when they heard him say that he knew Lance at school, they assumed that he and Lance were alumni.
"So we're schoolmates. No wonder you're so awesome, Cat!"
Because the program team has not announced their identities yet, everyone is still very curious about Su Xingyao's true identity.
After all, anyone who knows a singer like Lance can’t be an ordinary person.
But out of respect for each other and the rules of the program team, everyone suppressed their curiosity and did not dig into the matter too much.
After the copyright was secured, everyone's worries finally settled down.
After letting go of something, your mood will naturally become better instantly.
Everyone quickly sat on the ground in a circle, took the lyrics printed out by the staff and began to divide their parts.
Although this group, formed by Shen Huaixi, is very weird, the contestants are very united and harmonious.
Since there weren’t many private messages between us, we quickly discussed and divided the lyrics.
As soon as the lyrics were divided, the electronic contract from Lance was sent directly to the program team.
The staff who had been waiting online the whole time, fearing that they would miss the deadline, quickly accepted the contract.
She is professionally responsible for contracts, so she could tell at a glance that the contract given by the other party was very, very generous.
After reading the contract and finding that there was no problem at all, before submitting it to the legal department for verification again, she couldn't help but take another look at the copyright fee column given by the other party and praised it repeatedly.
"What kind of person is Lance? He is such a kind-hearted angel. He even charges such a reasonable price for copyright."
It was the first time Su Xingyao heard her roommate being described like this and she was a little surprised.
Sheng Yan, who was sitting next to Su Xingyao and obviously had some understanding of Lance, was also surprised by this description and looked at the staff curiously.
"How conscientious?"
The staff member gestured five and two, "He only charged a symbolic 520 yuan for the copyright."
For a commercial program, it is really conscientious for the singer to only charge such a small copyright fee.
After saying that, the staff member looked at Su Xingyao again and conveyed the contents of the contract.
"They asked the production team to transfer the money directly to you."
The rapper was shocked and looked at the staff with a questioning look, "Confirm this amount of money... and give it to Maomao?"
The staff nodded.
Then there was silence.
The contestants all looked at Su Xingyao with extremely strange eyes.
Seeing everyone hesitant to speak, Su Xingyao, who was frightened by being stared at, asked in confusion.
"Is there any problem in transferring it to me?"
77 heard Su Xingyao's confused look and explained to him with a smile, "It's okay to transfer it to you, but in a few days it will be May 20th..."
Su Xingyao suddenly realized...
No wonder everyone looked at me strangely after hearing the number 520.
Su Xingyao knew clearly that Lance had definitely not expected this, but the other party's action caused everyone to misunderstand, and it did make it difficult for him to step down.
Su Xingyao was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hand to clarify, "This number is not what you think..."
After saying that, he quickly looked at the staff to confirm, "He should have reported it in foreign currency, right?"
After Su Xingyao's reminder, the staff nodded repeatedly.
"Oh indeed."
"It was written on the contract that it was 100, but I would always automatically convert it into domestic currency in my mind. It just so happened that the exchange rate between their country and ours was 1:5.2, which was too easy to calculate, so I just said it out of habit."
After hearing this, everyone realized that it was indeed a misunderstanding.
520 coincides with May 20th, which can easily lead to misunderstanding.
But if the other party actually said 100 yuan, that's quite normal.
After all, international remittances are quite troublesome, especially when it's just 100 yuan.
Lance was so generous that he almost didn't ask for any copyright fees, so he was probably too lazy to collect the money and just let his acquaintance Maomao collect the symbolic copyright fee.
After the program crew signed the contract with Lance, they immediately handed over 520 yuan to Su Xingyao.
Su Xingyao didn't dare to use the huge sum of money that suddenly fell from the sky, but secretly sent a WeChat message to Lance.
Su Xingyao: Why transfer the money to me?
This time, Lance replied to him immediately.
Lance: Please help me transfer the money to Lyon
Lance: [Cool]
Today, every word the other party said was about Tyrion. Su Xingyao instantly understood what the other party meant and replied with a period speechlessly.
There is no need to use the copyright fee of the song to pay for the signal booster that Leon gave me before.
After learning of Lance's intention, Su Xingyao felt that the copyright fee he had just collected had become a hot potato.
After thinking for more than ten seconds and still not figuring out how to deal with it, he simply opened his circle of friends.
Su Xingyao almost never posts on WeChat Moments and rarely reads them.
It was really an accident that I clicked on it today.
However, when he opened his Moments for the first time, he saw a post from Lance that looked very proud.
The other party directly posted the electronic contract that had just been sent to the program team on his Moments.
Lance: Haruka is going to cover my song [cool] [love] [looking forward to it]
It has been less than ten minutes since Lance posted this on his Moments. Although there is not a single like, there are already three comments below it.
Lyon: Copyright fee? If you can't make it and have no money to eat, you can v me and I'll give you 50 [digging nose] [digging nose] [digging nose]
Below Lyon's comment, there are two other comments.
One sent three eye-rolling emojis, and the other sent three vomiting emojis.
They all despise it very much.
Su Xingyao read this post and comments: …
