Chapter 26 The Lion's Mouth



"Come to see me?" Ye Yuelun was puzzled. Since she was not in the circle, how could she come to see him? Wouldn't she be treated as a fan? Yang Lan'er didn't say much. She smiled lightly while eating barbecue and humming.

At first Ye Yuelun didn't take it too seriously, thinking that Yang Lan'er was still keeping her in suspense, but soon he understood and began to listen carefully.

Humming a few lines of "Goodbye Kiss" by Zhang Geshen from her previous life, Yang Lan'er looked at Ye Yuelun with a smile.

Zhang Geshen's album "Goodbye Kiss" is still firmly ranked first among the best-selling Chinese albums even decades later. The English version was covered abroad and made the band an instant hit. This shows the charm of this album and this song. Yang Lan'er doesn't believe that Ye Yuelun will not be moved.

Sure enough, Ye Yuelun, who had just heard the part that he was itching for, became impatient: "What's next? What's next? Is there a complete song?" He finally understood what Yang Lan'er meant by mutual benefit.

He didn't ask any stupid questions. Since Ben was going to find him, it was unnecessary to ask whether he should sell it to him or not.

"Of course it's complete. Even the lyrics are ready." Yang Lan'er hummed two more lines of the climax, which made Ye Yuelun's eyes full of stars.

Seeing that Yang Lan'er was unwilling to reveal more, Ye Yuelun breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his excitement, and knew that it was time for him to throw in his chips: "One million, to buy out the copyright."

Seeing that Yang Lan'er was not someone who could be easily fooled, Ye Yuelun directly offered a high price.

Even if the lyrics and music are written by well-known writers in the industry, they rarely cost this much.

Yang Lan'er sneered and shook her head. She was fearless. If she was not satisfied with the price, she would not sell it. She was unwilling to sell a good thing at a low price.

"How much do you want?" Ye Yuelun frowned. He was indeed not easy to deal with.

Ye Yuelun thought he had found his luck when he came across a classic song while just strolling down the street. However, he never imagined that although the future was bright, the road was still tortuous.

"Profit: 10 percent." Yang Lan'er raised her eyebrows and made a huge request. In a world without piracy, album sales are a big part of the revenue, especially for such a big star. She couldn't help but be soft-hearted.

Ye Yuelun was stunned, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the barbecue on his fingertips back onto the plate: "One hundred...ten percent?" He thought he was hard of hearing and was hallucinating. Shouldn't it be ten thousandths?

"Hmm." Yang Lan'er remained calm.

"Do you know that I only get 30%, and you want 10%? Just for one song?" Ye Yuelun looked strange, not knowing where Yang Lan'er got her confidence from.

"No, it's not a song, but an album. Ten percent is not too much." Yang Lan'er did not give in at all. Ye Yuelun only got 30% after signing the contract. That was miserable for him.

"An album?" Ye Yuelun's voice was a little higher. He then carefully looked around and didn't attract other people's attention. He breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully, "Are all of them of this song's quality?"

"Even if not, it's almost the same." Yang Lan'er didn't even blink. She immediately selected two songs of her favorite generation and hummed a few lines, which made Ye Yuelun's eyes light up instantly.

After struggling for a while, Ye Yuelun said anxiously, "Do you really want 10%?"

"Not even a cent less." Yang Lan'er did not give in: "And it has to be 10% of sales, not net profit!" In order to prevent the entertainment company from playing tricks on her with words, she made it clear in advance. In case the company raised the cost, wouldn't she earn a lot less?

"..." Ye Yuelun was completely choked. This girl's asking price was really high! Yang Lan'er also knew that Ye Yuelun could not make the decision. After that, the two of them tacitly did not discuss further. They just exchanged phone numbers and prepared for further negotiations.

"Thank you for the treat, uncle." Yang Lan'er said jokingly, causing Ye Yuelun's mouth to twitch wildly. How did he become an "uncle"? Is he that old?

However, Ye Yuelun also discovered that this girl could really eat. He thought she emphasized it on purpose because she wanted him to treat her, but who would have thought that she actually finished it.

"I will try my best to fulfill your request." Ye Yuelun said seriously.

"Don't worry too much. Haha, at most I won't sell it." Yang Lan'er said with a smile. Sure enough, she saw Ye Yuelun's face suddenly change. It seems that he is doing well in the film industry. His expression is so rich.

Ye Yuelun was in a hurry to go back to discuss the album, so he quickly separated from Yang Lan'er.

Smiling at Ye Yuelun's anxious figure, Yang Lan'er took out her mobile phone and saved the recording.

Although there is no piracy in this world and copyright awareness is strong, if a company is determined to obtain her works, she really has no better way to prove that those songs are hers, so she must be on guard and she has to get some evidence first.

Of course, if that entertainment company really dared to seize her works, she would never swallow her anger. She would dare to produce a few singing gods to choke them to death. With the resources of a world, she didn't believe that she couldn't produce a few singing gods.

Therefore, Yang Lan'er had thought of many ways out and was waiting for the entertainment company to make a move. After all, she was weak and could not easily confront the company.

After shopping, Yang Lan'er returned to the hotel contentedly. As soon as she entered the room, she received a call from Ye Yuelun. This guy is really efficient.

"You want two songs?" Yang Lan'er was not surprised by this request. If she could get the company to agree to such profit-sharing conditions out of thin air, it would have to be Ye Yuelun's own company.

"Well, the company doesn't quite believe it, and is not satisfied with the price you want. Give them two songs first and let them take a look." Ye Yuelun had heard Yang Lan'er humming, so he naturally had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't trust those people in the company.

What's more, Yang Lan'er's conditions are just taking food from the company.

In fact, Ye Yuelun's album has been delayed for a long time. It contains a lot of songs, but he is not satisfied with any of them. It is not bad to release an album normally, but it is far from the level of a singing god.

Therefore, the company did not directly reject Ye Yuelun’s strong recommendation even though the offer was outrageous.

Ten percent profit is really nothing compared to a singing god.

From this we can see that the senior management of the entertainment company where Ye Yuelun works are also very forward-looking.

"That's not impossible. However, I don't trust your company. What if I submit the song and you use it directly in the end?" Yang Lan'er couldn't help but think about it. In this world, such things are everywhere. Although many of them are slander and rumors, most of them are true. There is no smoke without fire.

"Don't worry, my company is considered the best in the entertainment industry. We wouldn't have developed to this point without this credibility. Moreover, I can assure you that if the deal fails, I will return the work to you." Ye Yuelun made the promise solemnly, speaking with great sincerity.

Hearing this, Yang Lan'er raised her eyebrows. Originally, she gave the song to Ye Yuelun because of his voice. If he was also a good person, she would be even more willing.

Now it seems that this person is quite good.
