There's really no need to dwell on such a trivial benefit.
...
After a brief interview with "Iron Girl" Zhuang Xiaomeng...
Before Wang Yueheng could get up and leave.
Another woman appeared before him, accompanied by her counselor, Tong Hua.
"Yue Heng, let me introduce you. This is Qiao Yingying, a well-known screenwriter and the daughter of General Qiao Xinghua."
"She wants to talk to you about the two songs."
Tong Hua pointed to Qiao Yingying, who was dressed simply, and introduced her to Wang Yueheng.
"Hello Wang Yueheng, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"I have read several of your works and I greatly admire your talent!"
Qiao Yingying extended her hand and smiled as she spoke.
"Your rendition of 'Grandma' just now really brought me to tears."
“I have an aunt who went to war separately from her family and never came back.”
Qiao Yingying then continued.
"You flatter me, Teacher Qiao!"
"It is my honor to write a song that satisfies the old general and the families of martyrs."
"If I remember correctly, you should be the screenwriter of the movie 'Super Soldier Strikes'?"
Wang Yueheng quickly reached out and shook hands with the other person, responding with a smile.
Just last night, when I received an invitation from Master Mo to select a song from the system's music library.
He also learned a little about the family situations of the five old generals who were coming today through Mo Zixue.
I also learned about General Qiao Xinghua's daughter, Qiao Yingying.
"That's right, you actually knew that?"
Qiao Yingying looked surprised as she spoke.
I never expected that Wang Yueheng would do so much preparation work just to write a song.
"I'm also here to discuss matters related to this movie."
"I discussed it with Director Chen Ge, and we hope to use your two songs in the movie's theme song or interlude."
"Regarding copyright fees, if possible, we would appreciate a discount, since most of our funds are spent on filming..."
"We promise to express our gratitude to you specifically at the end of the video!"
Now that Wang Yueheng knew her identity, Qiao Yingying decided to be frank and open about it.
At the same time, he frankly told Wang Yueheng about the crew's financial difficulties.
"Last time, I also wrote a song for director Chen Ge's Republican-era film, called 'Red-Clad Actress'."
"I didn't expect we'd be able to collaborate again so soon."
Upon hearing the familiar director's name, Wang Yueheng smiled and said...
"Yes, he praised you for a long time, repeatedly saying that he had been lucky before."
"Back then, you weren't as famous as you are now, so the copyright fees for your songs were relatively cheap."
"If it were now, the copyright fee for the song 'Red-Clad Lament' would be four or five times higher!"
Qiao Yingying echoed the sentiment in the same tone.
The production team of "Super Soldier Strikes" currently has a budget of up to seven million yuan to purchase the licensing rights to Wang Yueheng's songs.
Based on Wang Yueheng's current net worth...
The copyright fee for just one song, "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty," would probably be more than that.
If Wang Yueheng is willing, there are plenty of producers across the country willing to pay ten million to buy this song.
After all, it depends on the singer's fame, the quality of the song, and its potential for widespread popularity.
This song is a huge hit.
The entire audience of teachers and students was able to sing along after just one listen, which shows just how infectious the song is!
As for the new song "Grandma", it has already become a hit across the internet even before its official release.
With National Day approaching.
In addition, Wang Yueheng provided free authorization for public welfare.
It is expected to be played repeatedly on buses across the country soon, making it a stock with great potential for growth.
Commercial copyright prices are also not low.
“Since Teacher Qiao personally came to me, and it’s a patriotic film, the copyright fee can certainly be discounted.”
"I wonder what the production team's budget is for buying songs?"
Seeing the somewhat troubled look on Qiao Yingying's face, Wang Yueheng asked with a smile.
He had probably already guessed the other party's target price.
At the same time, Wang Yueheng, who had learned about the quality of the movie "Super Soldier" in advance, had a general idea of its quality.
At least within the scope he approves of.
With the support of government departments, a patriotic film like this usually achieves considerable box office success after its release.
It can bring you a lot of popularity and faith value.
If it were replaced by a ridiculous TV series or movie about "tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands".
Even if a general's daughter offered a huge sum of 100 million yuan to buy a song, Wang Yueheng would politely refuse and would never authorize it.
"We had already spent three million on songs before, so the producer's budget for songs this time is a maximum of seven million."
"In addition, I'm willing to contribute my own one million for screenwriting fees, so we can raise a total of eight million. What do you think..."
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yingying said hesitantly.
She really wanted to use those two songs in her new movie.
But at the same time, I am also very clear about it.
They spent eight million to buy the film rights to the songs "Loyalty to the Country" and "Grandma".
For Wang Yueheng, it was indeed a bit too cheap.
She would understand if the young singer in front of her was unwilling to agree.
He wouldn't take advantage of his father being a veteran general to make things difficult for the young singer in front of him.
"Forget about your million. After all, it's really not easy to make money as a screenwriter in China."
"Besides, I'm afraid that if I take the money, I'll get a scolding from Teacher Tong Hua when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yueheng turned to look at Tong Hua beside him, shook his head, and smiled.
"With your current net worth, how could I dare to scold you!"
Upon hearing this, counselor Tong Hua smiled and replied.
At the same time, she felt a surge of emotion, knowing that Wang Yueheng had deliberately done her a favor.
He wanted to make himself look good in front of Qiao Yingying.
"What? You mean...you agree?"
Qiao Yingying looked at Wang Yueheng with some confusion and asked.
What's going on? Why did the other party voluntarily lower the price by one million?
Can seven million really buy the film rights to two of Wang Yueheng's new songs?
That's so fake...
"Yes, seven million for the film license of the two songs."
"Of course, this is also because of General Qiao."
"Thank you for coming to our school today to inspect the military training."
Wang Yueheng explained everything in detail.
That's why I'm making things clear.
He also wanted the production crew and Mr. Mo to know.
I lowered myself out of respect for my predecessors.
She not only treated Mo Lao's granddaughter well, but also showed great respect to his comrades and their families.
This way, when Old Mo meets with his old comrades-in-arms like Qiao Xinghua in the future, he will have more face.
"Then... thank you so much!"
"On behalf of the production crew and my father, I express my gratitude to you!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingying's eyes lit up with excitement, and she repeatedly bowed to Wang Yueheng to express her gratitude.
"By the way, I have a close friend who's quite wealthy, and she's also filming a historical drama called 'Kangxi Emperor's Dynasty.' They haven't decided on the theme song yet."
"And it's a major program broadcast on CCTV for the first time in 25 years; their budget is much larger than ours!"
"If you're interested, Yue Heng, I can help you make a connection and guarantee you'll earn back the money from those two songs!"
Then Qiao Yingying thought of something and quickly revealed it to Wang Yueheng.
