"Take it."
Wang Yueheng nodded in acknowledgment.
"Hello, Director Ning, how can I help you?"
Since it was a work-related call, Li Yueqi answered the phone and immediately turned on speakerphone in front of Wang Yueheng.
"Hello? Hello! Miss Yueqi, is that right? Have we made any progress on our new song?"
"I'm not bragging, but I guarantee this movie will be a huge success after it's released."
"It will also be of great help in promoting your company's artists."
"How about this, you can lower the price a bit more, I'll add another 100,000, and you can find the arrangers and singers from Group A to help with the composition, okay?"
As soon as the call connected, the college student director's voice, feigning experience, came through as he haggled over the price.
Wang Yueheng immediately had a sense of déjà vu when faced with this kind of bargaining scene, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
I couldn't help but recall some of my past experiences on film sets.
The director of the once-famous film "The Wandering Earth" seems to have relied on his talent for deception.
They managed to trick the guest actors into becoming investors.
They would never spend a penny to make props and sets that they could get at a film studio.
In the end, they barely managed to complete the filming by borrowing props, locations, and even mortgaging their house.
The director currently in question is named Ning Hao.
He has clearly already acquired the basic skill of getting free meals from top directors.
Wang Yueheng was also somewhat surprised.
They're so desperate for money.
Even with an additional 100,000 yuan in creative funding for a theme song, it's still so difficult.
They even spent half of their investment to buy the remake rights from that mentally unstable mother.
He can be considered a hero among directors.
Even if he just filmed it directly.
That young mother with mental illness probably won't have the chance to see this film either.
They certainly wouldn't be in the mood to sue this college student director.
This college student director clearly had a kind heart behind his actions.
"Director Ning, I understand your feelings very well. I have also applied for additional creative opportunities for you within the maximum scope of the license."
"But I regret that I was unable to satisfy you..."
"I'm currently communicating with my superiors. Could you wait a moment and I'll send you the results of the communication tomorrow morning?"
According to the description on the A4 paper, the starting production cost for Group A composers and singers is in the millions.
Moreover, most of the singers in Group A are second-tier artists.
They have already been able to use their influence to boost the viewership of an ordinary film or television work.
If we open the door to cheap prices...
It will be very difficult to raise the prices of different levels of creative works in the future.
For the sake of the company's interests, Li Yueqi had no choice but to politely decline.
"No need for that. Why don't you just give me your boss's phone number and I'll talk to him?"
Director Ning Hao on the other end of the phone pressed on relentlessly.
It seems they're determined to buy a suitable track from Bubble Music.
"I'm sorry..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yueqi was about to politely refuse when she suddenly saw Wang Yueheng wave at her.
He gestured for her to hand over her phone.
"Oh, please wait a moment. The leader is sitting right across from me. He will speak with you personally!"
Seeing this, Li Yueqi quickly got up and handed the phone to Wang Yueheng.
"Hello, is this Director Ning?"
"I am Li Yueqi's supervisor, my name is Wang Yueheng..."
After receiving the call, Wang Yueheng held the phone up with his right hand and greeted the caller with a smile.
The three girls next to him were all staring at him.
It remains to be seen how Wang Yueheng will negotiate with this director next.
Could it be that he would really lower himself to spend 500,000 to write a theme song for a commercial movie for them?
