Ren Ya knew full well that her ex-husband Gu Mo had become very motivated after his comeback on a variety show, so she wasn't surprised that he was preparing a new album.
But what she never expected was that the other party was so ambitious as to let her play the female lead in the MV for free.
How shameless!
But fortunately, she is not thin-skinned.
"It's totally fine for me to guest-star as the female lead in your MV." Ren Ya agreed without hesitation.
Gu Mo didn't have time to be happy.
Ren Ya then changed the subject: "We are not husband and wife anymore, we are just friends. As a friend, I am willing to help you for free, so are you willing to help me too?"
She did not give the initiative of choosing to Gu Mo, and continued: "My studio is preparing a film and television production that is a sister film of "Women at Thirty", and I would like to ask you to play a guest role."
Gu Mo didn't expect that the boomerang he casually praised Shen Ting for on the show would now hit him.
But if you think about it carefully, if you don't have this "boomerang", how can you repay Ren Ya's favor?
"It's fine for me to guest-star in the TV series produced by your studio, but you won't mess with me, right?"
Gu Mo had bullied Ren Ya before and was worried that she would learn bad things.
Well, another boomerang.
Those who are in the underworld will have to pay for what they have done sooner or later.
"Don't worry, I can't cheat anyone but you, right?"
Gu Mo thought to himself, it would be a miracle if he could be at ease.
I'll just be frank: "If you give me a role that's a mean, sinister, and scumbag, I'll refuse it."
"No problem, I will definitely assign you a positive role."
Ren Ya was speaking the truth. She would never joke about the new drama that her studio had invested heavily in.
The reason why she wanted Gu Mo to make a guest appearance was because she knew that Gu Mo was extremely popular at the time.
Besides, his public identity is a singer, and this is Gu Mo's first guest appearance in a TV drama project. As the first person to eat crabs, he will naturally get a share of the profits.
In addition, Gu Mo is about to make a cameo appearance in an important role in Zhang Jiakang's new movie, so he might be able to take advantage of Zhang Jiakang's popularity.
More importantly, Gu Mo and she are extremely popular at this stage.
If both of them make a guest appearance in the sister series of "A Woman of Thirty" and then discuss cooperation with Mango TV, they will definitely get a good price!
At the same time, Gu Mo is about to release a new album.
That popularity is sure to soar.
When Ren Ya thought about it, she felt that she had gotten a great deal.
Ren Ya, the owner of the studio, is greedy.
"By the way, you're planning to record a new album, right? Are you interested in collaborating again?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Mo didn't react for a moment.
"I'll choose a song from your album as the theme song for my studio's new drama. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
A win-win situation means she wins twice.
Gu Mo can only make a little money at most.
Ren Ya raised her stakes: “Before, when you composed a promotional song for my new drama, the price was only 500,000.
This time the minimum guarantee is over 600,000, how about it?
As long as your new song is of good quality and goes well with my new drama, the price is negotiable."
"Okay, just contact my agent, Sister Li, and that's it." Gu Mo was not opposed to this kind of thing.
The two then exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone.
"Sister Li, you heard my conversation with Ren Ya. I'll leave these matters to you."
"no problem."
…
…
Most of the songs Gu Mo recorded before were recorded in Beijing.
From Baihua Recording Studio to 'Sanwei' blue and white tunes.
Now that his studio has moved to the film and television park in Songjiang, there are several professional recording studios here.
Accompanied by Li Xiaoli, the two went to a place called "Elysium Recording Studio".
The management of Ji Le is very welcoming to Gu Mo's arrival.
"Hello, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li. I'm He Xiaochen, the head of Bliss Recording Studio." He then introduced a middle-aged man beside him: "This is Li Ming, Bliss's music director and a well-known producer in the industry."
After saying this, he, as the person in charge of Ji Le, extended a hand of friendship to Gu Mo.
"Hello, Mr. He and Mr. Li." Gu Mo stretched out his right hand and shook hands with them.
Li Xiaoli also shook hands with them.
Next, Mr. He led Gu Mo and the other man into the recording studio.
As agreed in advance, the band, string orchestra and other personnel responsible for accompaniment today are all in place.
Before Gu Mo's new song was officially recorded, a group of people went to the conference room to discuss how to record the two songs.
It is equivalent to the "creative reading session" before filming of a film or TV series.
Everyone present received two copies of lyrics and music scores.
Everyone watched carefully.
After a while, Li Ming, the music director and producer of Bliss Recording Studio, gave high praise to the two songs. When the official recording began, they found that Gu Mo's singing skills were much better than they had imagined.
The emotional interpretation is also very good.
Gu Mo spent the whole morning recording the two songs.
Although the name of Gu Mo's new album has not been decided yet.
But the first hit song is called "Ten Years"
…
On the way back.
Li Xiaoli was a little excited: "Boss Gu, I was in the monitoring control room of the recording studio and watched the entire recording process of these two songs. I also heard these professionals praising you.
I am more confident about the new album and the platform cooperation. "
"Sister Li, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
Gu Mo only needs to record one or two songs, but as his agent, Li Xiaoli has a lot more things to consider.
As soon as she returned to the studio, Li Xiaoli entered a very busy working state.
First, he contacted Ren Ya's agent Yuan Qing to discuss certain matters, and then contacted Zhang Jiakang and He Jiaqian's agents to discuss the song "Because of Love" and which platform to choose to release it on.
Since Gu Mo had informed them in advance, the agents of the three major artists were very cooperative.
So, Li Xiaoli turned around and took these two songs to start a new round of cooperation and communication with Lin Tingya, the head of Cool Cat Music, and Golden Leopard Music.
After several rounds of negotiations.
In the end, while the prices were comparable, Cool Cat Music's additional conditions were much better than Golden Leopard Music's, and it also cooperated with the pre-sale unlocking mode of the new album created by "Li Xiaoli".
As long as Gu Mo comes forward to sign the contract, Cool Cat Music can obtain the exclusive copyright of his music.
…
After Li Xiaoli preliminarily agreed on the cooperation, she called Gu Mo to announce the good news: "Mr. Gu, the exclusive copyright of your song has been signed with Cool Cat Music.
Cool Cat fully respects your opinion. We are willing to accept a one-year contract for the song licensing agreement for a period of three years.
The price in the first year is in the tens of millions. If the cooperation is satisfactory, the price can be raised on this basis in the following year.
Your share of the profits from your new album is higher than that of ordinary singers.
I'll discuss the specific amount with you when I return to the studio."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Li."
