Chapter 16 I'm convinced



Chen Feng could see what Zhong Lei was really thinking.

She liked this song and wanted to sing it.

Not the kind of singing that she would sing in a demo, but the kind of singing that she would sing as the real singer of this song, using her own understanding to interpret the true meaning of this song.

Because this song is basically written about her, after understanding it, it has a fatal attraction to her like a bondage.

So during the meal, Zhong Lei kept forcing a smile and congratulating him with insincere words.

She was so frustrated that she was easily angered when Chen Feng said he wanted to share the money with her.

Unknowingly, Chen Feng had been thinking in the room for an hour or so, and he looked down at the watch. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

He made up his mind.

Chen Feng took out his cell phone and found Zheng Rou's number.

"Sister Rou, sorry to bother you."

Zheng Rou on the opposite side seemed to be eating, and said mumblingly: "What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to reply tomorrow?"

"It's like this, Sister Rou, the song "Boring"..."

"It's not for sale, right?"

"Ah? How do you know?"

"Weiwei said so. If you didn't agree on the spot, it probably wouldn't be sold. And Weiwei also said that you were going to let the girl who sang the demo sing, right?"

Chen Feng was very grateful for what he had received. Others helped him, but he rejected their kindness. Now his little thoughts were exposed on the spot. He was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"It's okay, you don't have to mind it. Weiwei said that collecting songs is not a simple sale of goods, what's more important is fate. Just like a man and a woman in love, it's not necessarily that the one who is beautiful is suitable, what's important is to be compatible with each other. Just like honey to one person, poison to another."

"When listening to the demo, Weiwei felt that the owner of that voice was the most suitable person for this song, and Chen Li was just the second best choice."

"I believe you have the same feeling after listening to it. Of course, since we promised to help you, we naturally can't go back on our word, so we didn't take the initiative to mention it to you. Now that you realize it yourself, of course it's best." "

Chen Feng, let me reveal one more thing to you. Weiwei also said that if you finally decide to sell the song to Chen Li, she will actually be very disappointed in you. Because this shows that you are only good at composing, but not good at finding the best voice for your own work."

"Okay, I'm still out here filming a music video with Weiwei, so I'll hang up first. I'll get back to Chen Li as soon as possible. This is a common phenomenon in the industry, so you don't have to worry about it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng was silent for a long time.

He really didn't expect that Lu Wei, who was obviously Zhong Lei's loser, had such strong musical literacy.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Wei seems to be only inferior to Zhong Lei in this era.

Looking at Lu Wei's life achievements, if Zhong Lei hadn't been too dazzling in the same era, she should have been the most accomplished female singer in the past few decades.

It turns out that you can't underestimate anyone.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, went upstairs, and knocked on the door.

Zhong Lei ignored him.

Chen Feng shouted outside the door: "I just gave the other party an answer. I won't sell this song. I want to sing it for you."

"What!"

Zhong Lei opened the door violently, "Are you crazy?"

It turned out that she had been standing at the door.

Chen Feng shook his head, "No, I'm very sober."

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Chen Li is very popular recently. You know what it means to you if your song is successfully sold to Chen Li? It means that you have entered the house from now on. In the future, as long as you work hard, you will receive invitations to sing songs continuously."

"I know, but it doesn't matter."

"I'm just an unknown newcomer. It's a waste of talent for me to sing this song. It won't help you at all. Besides, I can't afford it."

Chen Feng shook his head. "If the song is popular, you will be popular, and so will I. The popularity of a song is related to the fame of the singer, but it is not the decisive factor. What's more important is the quality of the song itself. In my opinion, you are the most suitable singer for this song. Don't you have confidence in yourself? Do you really think that your singing effect is not as good as Chen Li? Others are more popular than you now, so you are so inferior that you can only look up to others? Are you doubting yourself? Then what gave you the courage to drop out of school? Wasn't it absolute self-confidence?"

Chen Feng asked several questions in succession, leaving Zhong Lei silent.

Zhong Lei took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Do you really think so?"

She wavered.

"Well, I thought so when I heard you practicing the song."

"Thank you for your recognition, but I really can't come up with 200,000 yuan now. Also, even if I buy your song, I can't make it."

Chen Feng thought for a while, "You sing it, we will produce it ourselves, just make a single. Then put it on the platform and release it as a paid download."

Zhong Lei shook her head.

"This is unrealistic. Today's audience only listens to songs for free, and the habit of paying has not yet been cultivated. Unless they are loyal diehards, few people will pay to download. Even new songs released by well-known artists are free for members, not to mention a single released by a pure new artist, no one will pay."

Chen Feng shook his head, "Others can't do it, but it doesn't mean you can't do it."

In fact, five years later, "Boring" was Zhong Lei's debut work. She recorded it herself, posted it on the platform, and it quickly became a viral spread, becoming popular all over the country in a short time, which made her transform quickly.

Of course, many people at that time still thought that she was just a flash in the pan online singer, and no one expected that she was actually a person who had accumulated a lot of experience and became a dragon once she entered the storm.

Before she became famous, Zhong Lei herself didn't think so much.

She just didn't want to give up, so she gave it her all and finally succeeded.

Now Chen Feng has moved this time forward by a few years. She hasn't experienced so much, and hasn't reached the point where she is completely at the end of her rope, so naturally she has more concerns about not taking risks.

Sure enough, Zhong Lei asked blankly again: "How much do you believe in my ability? Have you ever heard me sing a complete song?"

Chen Feng was immediately alert and almost exposed himself.

He simply smiled mysteriously and pointed to his head, "Intuition. My intuition tells me that this is the best answer. How can we know the result if we don't try it? At worst, we can also use the free model and share the profits based on traffic."

"The proportion of traffic sharing is very low. You can't make back 200,000 yuan from this."

Zhong Lei seriously thought about the feasibility of Chen Feng's proposal for a moment, and finally said.

Chen Feng shook his head nonchalantly, "Fame is money. Even if I sing it for you, the copyright of this song is still mine. No matter how low the platform's share is, as long as the song is popular and has a loud enough reputation, the next time I sell the song, it won't be priced at two hundred thousand. In the future, whether it's you or someone else, if you want to use this song for commercial performances or perform it in any media, you have to pay me."

"But if I sell it to Chen Li, the copyright will not be mine. I can't be sure whether she will give me a signature, and I won't get a share of the subsequent income. I let you sing it, and I'm actually considering the long-term."

In order to convince Zhong Lei to let go of her grudge, Chen Feng found ten thousand reasons to convince her.

She really believed it, "Is this your real plan?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you want to understand it that way, that's fine."

After the negotiation, the two of them immediately took action and worked it out carefully together.

Chen Feng didn't understand the details very well, so he let her do the calculations.

Zhong Lei did the math, "I only have 50,000 in savings. But next I'll need to spend more than 100,000 to find someone to arrange the music. Guitar accompaniment alone is definitely not enough. Then the accompaniment production and master recording in the recording studio will also cost about 100,000. A total of 200,000 will be needed."

Chen Feng interrupted her, "No need for arrangement, I've done it. I have the complete music score here."

"Ah?" Zhong Lei was dumbfounded, "How many musical instruments are there in total?" Chen

Feng began to count on his fingers, "Guitar, bass, drums, piano, chimes, organ, harmonica... twelve."

The hissing sounds of people sucking in cold air echoed in the room. Zhong Lei looked up and down at Chen Feng with an extremely suspicious look to make sure he was not talking nonsense.

"You did all this?"

Chen Feng nodded shamelessly, "Yes."

"You're really not the second generation from a musical family, and you've never learned it before?"

Chen Feng asked back, "Why should I brag to you?"

Zhong Lei turned her face away, "I give in."
