Chapter 136: The Beauty Trap? (Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates!)
…
Seeing Shang Jie's constipated expression, Xu Kai asked her: "Do you think I'm too dark?"
Shang Jie answered honestly: "A little bit."
"I'm not targeting you, but too many people have been asking me to sing songs these days. If I set the price too low, I'll be annoyed to death."
Xu Kai was not really raising the price to Shang Jie, but a lot of people really came to Xu Kai to ask him to sing songs in the past two days.
Xu Kai didn't know how these people were so powerful that they even knew his cell phone number which he had only used for two months.
That would be fine, but the key point is that some of them were introduced by friends. For example, Zhu Bing introduced several people to himself.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.
Xu Kai's achievements in writing lyrics and composing music are so dazzling that it can be said that except for the works produced by Xu Kai during his time with the Big Bird Band, every song composed by Xu Kai has been a big hit.
Singers are different from other artists. Many singers can rely on one or two songs to deceive people for their entire lives.
In other words, as long as a singer gets a good song, they may never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
In addition, some stars want to label themselves as singers to increase their fame and traffic.
All in all, many artists want to buy a good song.
However, although there are many songs in this world, they are of varying quality, and songs that become popular are definitely rare.
It can be said that songs that are bound to become popular are definitely hot-selling items.
After all, there are rich stars everywhere, but there are only a few songs that become popular in a year.
And Xu Kai seemed to have mastered the secret to making the songs he composed become popular.
It’s no wonder that those people with a keen sense of smell came to Xu Kai.
The key point is that there are quite a few people with a keen sense of smell - in just these two days, nearly twenty people have asked Xu Kai to sing songs for them.
With so many people driving up prices, if Xu Kai doesn't ask for a higher price, then wouldn't that be a fool?
Besides, is it expensive to spend 10 million for a song that is sure to be a hit?
Don’t forget that when Tan Weiwei was not very famous yet, she sold 10 million copies of one song.
Considering Xu Kai's performance that has blinded everyone, is it unfair for a song to sell 10 million?
Not to mention anything else, now just the two words "Big Bird" can bring a huge wave of traffic.
You still have to spend a lot of money just to buy traffic, right?
Those in the music industry could more or less guess at the extent to which Xu Kai was being praised, but 10 million for a song, and only for the right to perform it, was still too expensive.
After hesitating for a long time, Shang Jie asked: "Can it be cheaper? You know, I was born as a talent show singer. Although I have worked hard in the past few years, I really haven't made much money."
Xu Kai didn't even know who Shang Jie was, so how could he know what her experience was like? Naturally, he couldn't give her any advantage.
"Well... it's like this. I've already sold two songs, both for 10 million. I only have the singing rights. It probably won't be long before these two songs are released. If I give you a discount, it would be a bit unfair to the two people who bought my songs, don't you think?"
After hearing what Xu Kai said, everyone present took a breath of cold air! They still thought that Xu Kai's songs were sold too poorly, but they had already been sold, and there were two songs, and it was likely that it would be sold in one or two days.
Who dares to say that Xu Kai’s songs are not worth 10 million per song?
Shang Jie swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and then remained silent for a long time. It was not until Xu Kai was about to leave the waiting room with Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang that Shang Jie came over again and asked, "Brother Bird, can I pick one?"
"No need to choose, just tell me your requirements and I can tailor one for you."
After hearing what Xu Kai said, Shang Jie took a deep breath and then said, "I want one."
There is no other way for Shang Jie to spend so much money on songs. She has been singing other people's songs for so many years since her debut. Although she has singing skills, as long as she does not have her own representative work, she will be a second-rate singer.
Shang Jie had no choice but to sell everything he had to bet on this game.
Xu Kai reported his personal bank account neatly and clearly.
Shang Jie was also a person capable of doing great things, and she quickly transferred the money to Xu Kai.
Of course, this is also because Shang Jie knows that with Xu Kai's current fame, it is definitely impossible for him to cheat her out of 10 million.
What Shang Jie never expected was that when the "Singer" program production team notified the competing singers to take their seats on the stage, Xu Kai handed Shang Jie the "Ultimate Faith" that he had just found time to write.
Looking at the song "Final Faith" written on the note in her hand, Shang Jie wanted to curse: "That's it, 10 million?"
With undisguised suspicion, Shang Jie looked at the lyrics and music of "Ultimate Faith".
But as she looked at it, Shang Jie couldn't take her eyes away.
This song "Final Faith" exudes a powerful aura of positive energy. Just by looking at the lyrics and music, Shang Jie can feel a magical power awakening the heart, leading people out of thorny difficulties and regaining new life.
Shang Jie's hands were shaking as she watched it. She felt that this was the song she had been searching for the most, no other.
"How is it, are you satisfied?"
After listening to Xu Kai's question, Shang Jie took a while to react before raising her head and asked Xu Kai: "Brother Bird, can you sell me this song?"
People who don’t know much about this might ask, didn’t Xu Kai already sell “Final Faith” to Shang Jie, why did Shang Jie still want to buy it? The answer is that Shang Jie wanted to buy out “Final Faith” and make it her song.
Xu Kai frowned and said, "I don't like doing things like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."
As long as Xu Kai does not sell the copyright of the lyrics and composition of "Final Faith", Xu Kai will have a share of any economic value created by "Final Faith".
This is a long-term meal ticket. How can Xu Kai sell it easily? He needs to pay more.
Hearing that Xu Kai didn't want her to buy it out, Shang Jie immediately came over and wanted to act coquettishly with Xu Kai.
Xu Kai had no sexual interest in Shang Jie's face, which had undergone countless surgeries.
So, seeing that Shang Jie was about to disgust him, Xu Kai immediately took a step back, held out his hands, and said, "Let's talk about what we have to say. You must stay calm."
"Hate~"
Seeing that her honey trap was useless, Shang Jie gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you another 5 million, and you can sell me this song "Final Faith". Please, Brother Bird!"
To be honest, Xu Kai really looked down on "Final Faith". He just picked up a song at random from his music library based on Shang Jie's request.
Moreover, recently Xu Kai had to pay the balance of the road in front of his house, take out the money he invested in "Shiliyangchang", and also wanted to clean up his house (he couldn't always wander around outside), so he was really short of money.
So, after thinking about it, Xu Kai stretched out another finger.
When Shang Jie saw this, her heart ached, and then her eyes were filled with struggle!
Xu Kai did not persuade Shang Jie whether to buy or not. Since she didn't buy it, he would just make a long-term profit, so it didn't matter.
As for whether Shang Jie would think he was evil, Xu Kai didn't care. Since he wanted to eat pork, how could he care about the life or death of the pig?
After waiting for Shang Jie for a while, seeing that she was still undecided, Xu Kai, who wanted to make some money deep down, finally said, "How about this, if you buy this song, I can provide you with a free arrangement service."
For Xu Kai, this extra gift was just a convenient thing to do, but for Shang Jie, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Shang Jie gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words: "I'll buy it!"

I urgently need monthly tickets to stop the second place from competing with me. I am asking the big guys to reward me with a few monthly tickets.
