Chapter 249 Selling His Songs To Him
A few days later, in the afternoon.
On the way to see Chen Yu here today, he speculated on many kinds of Chen Yu’s intentions in his mind.
After getting to know it, he can kind of understand why there are so few outstanding songwriters these days.
Zhao Lei was stunned when he heard Chen Yu’s message.
Chen Yu asked with a smile.
But at this point he expressed serious doubts.
Even if you can’t write well for a while, you can come up with one or two lyrics of good quality after 10 days and a half of hard work.
Therefore, it is absolutely nonsense to say that no one in China has the talent to write good lyrics!
After frowning for a while, he looked up at Chen Yu in surprise, and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Chen, take the liberty to ask, are you, are you really in business?”
------off topic-----
But sheet music?
This time, he watched for a long time.
To be honest, the reputation and reputation of those traditional novel writers are limited to some small circles, and most young people have almost no impression of those novelists.
Chen Yu laughed and shook his head, “I’m not old, I haven’t graduated from university, and I don’t study Chinese, I study computer.”
Zhao Lei was stunned.
Chen Yu chuckled, and under Zhao Lei’s stupefied gaze, he reached out and took his mobile phone from his hand, and swiped his finger on the screen at will.
Just because he could understand Zhao Lei’s mood at this time, Chen Yu didn’t talk nonsense, took out his mobile phone, called up the lyrics in the mobile phone, and handed it to Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei couldn’t help but ask again: “You should be younger than me at your age, right? Are you really in business? By the way, may I take the liberty to ask again, what school did you graduate from? Did you learn Chinese before? ?”
Chen Yu looked at him and smiled as he finished his words.
And this also gave Chen Yu a new understanding of the reasons for the rapid rise of online literature and its popularity in the north and south of the country.
“I don’t have any conditions. This song was originally written for you. If you like it, you can sing it. However, the copyright of the lyrics and the song belongs to me, and the authorship is also owned by me. Is this no problem?”
Because I like his songs, so I wrote a song with his voice and singing style?
“Oh, oh, let me see, let me see.”
Chen Yu looked at the change in his expression, but didn’t care.
But there is an air of masculinity.
What’s more, he knew very well in his heart that the lyrics and music of this song were originally written by Zhao Lei of the future world.
Instead of bargaining with others for the three melons and two dates at this time, it is better to promote the cooperation first and make yourself famous as soon as possible.
Seemingly simple lyrics, but a little bit outlines a small story.
He feels that those so-called modern poems are just taking a paragraph apart and treating each sentence as a paragraph, that’s all.
“Please!”
In a cafe facing the street, Chen Yu ordered a cup of coffee alone, sat by the window, squinted at the street scene of people coming and going outside the window, and took a sip from time to time.
Chen Yu smiled and handed the phone back to Zhao Lei.
The comparison sentence at the beginning made him like it very much.
A series of classic works have emerged one after another.
“for free?”
Chen Yu said it casually.
After about half an hour, he slowly raised his head to look at Chen Yu.
Such a good song, the lyrics and music are written so maturely, even without money?
After reading the lyrics, Zhao Lei’s expression became more and more surprised.
“thanks!”
That level…
Even the author of the article can’t compare.
Beijing.
This treatment…
Computer students don’t type code, but come to write songs?
A man should be like a man.
As soon as Chen Yu started, he was interrupted by Zhao Lei’s thanks.
“Mr. Zhao, do you like this song? Would you like to record it on your new album?”
– “Chengdu”?
When the fame is gained and the price comes up, when I sell songs in the future, it will be too late to talk about money.
The price of a song for a newcomer is generally only a few thousand yuan.
So what does he want?
Having said this, he paused, looked at Chen Yu, and said sternly: “Mr. Chen, please open the conditions! What conditions do you need to authorize me to sing this song? Although I have just debuted now, the economic conditions are Limited, but I will definitely do my best to meet your conditions, and I hope I say this so that you can understand my sincerity.”
Then he opened his eyes.
Don’t you want it for free?
At this moment, in his complex eyes, there was some admiration, and he sighed with emotion: “Great! Mr. Chen, I’m not saying compliments. Anyone who knows my character knows that I won’t say compliments. The lyrics are really good with this song! I really like it, really! Now I really believe what you said before, this song should really be tailor-made for me, it suits me very well! I was in I sang it a few times in my heart, and the more I sing, the more I like it, the quality of this level of song has completely surpassed all the songs I wrote myself, and I really want to include it in my new album.”
After participating in “China Good Song” earlier this year, Zhao Lei has become famous. Although his fame may not be very big, maybe someone in this cafe can recognize him.
I feel that although this person is not amazing in appearance, especially in the entertainment industry, he is not a handsome guy.
Chen Yu wanted to laugh a little.
reason?
Zhao Lei was mentally prepared for the hot eyes, smiled politely, took Chen Yu’s phone, and looked down at the lyrics on the phone.
“This is a song I wrote, do you see?”
It is precisely because Chen Yu has learned about the current domestic prices of lyrics and music, so this time Chen Yu did not intend to ask for money.
Ask for a monthly pass
When his friend introduced him to see Chen Yu before, he said that Chen Yu was in business and had a pharmaceutical company.
In Chen Yu’s impression, in the process of the birth and rise of online novels, all Chinese people with better writing, some talent, and some confidence in themselves, have all devoted themselves to the creation of online novels.
Zhao Lei tries to find out why Chen Yu can write lyrics of this level.
Zhao Lei suddenly realized, smiled and slapped his thigh, and said, “No wonder! I just said that your writing skills are very good, ordinary people can’t write such lyrics, so you can write novels, no wonder, no wonder!” Hearing the original author praised With this lyrics, Chen Yu couldn’t help but smile in his heart.
Because the level of the lyrics is much better than he expected.
Chen Yu nodded with a smile, “It’s like a fake.”
Chen Yu was also looking at him.
The title of the song first caught his eye.
Such short lyrics can actually arouse his emotions, this?
He frowned and read the lyrics again, this time he began to pay attention to the rhyme of each line, and was surprised to find that it rhymed.
In addition to being stunned, Zhao Lei was also speechless.
“Your hobby must be Chinese, right? Computer science, did your parents force you to learn it?”
In the final analysis, it is because the treatment of songwriters is too bad.
When the waiter left, Chen Yu coughed lightly and controlled his expression, not letting the smile on his face be too exaggerated.
Zhao Lei, who was confused, took over the phone, and with very complicated emotions, he began to look at the music score on the phone with a little erratic thoughts.
At this moment, he thought of some so-called modern poets in the literary world, some modern poems written in the vernacular. In the past, he also had a learning attitude and specially invited some masterpieces of modern poets to read.
This lyrics…isn’t it irritating at all?
A whole new type of web text has been developed.
Zhao Lei thought for a while, shook his head, and said solemnly: “This is not possible! Making friends is making friends, and cooperation is cooperation. I really like this song. I can’t take such a good song for nothing! It’s against the rules, If you don’t want a penny, I will hold this song, and I am not at ease. I am also a songwriter myself. I know how difficult it is to write a song of this level. I appreciate your kindness, but We must negotiate the price! Otherwise I can’t have this song!”
Do ordinary people understand sheet music? Do you know how many notes there are? Do you know what sounds can be produced by various musical instruments? Do you know how to match the various instruments in a song?
Except for famous writers such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Huang Yi from Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is not even a decent novelist in mainland China.
Hearing this, Chen Yu turned to look at him, saw the face under his sun hat, Chen Yu smiled, got up and stretched out his right hand, “Mr. Zhao! I’m Chen Yu, nice to meet you!”
How can a businessman who is full of copper smell write such lyrics?
——In other words, before the rise of online literature, the overall environment of the domestic novel industry was also very bad.
After reading the short lyrics of the whole song, he seemed to have read a love story.
This made Chen Yu feel good.
Is it so honest?
Blinking his eyes, Chen Yu said, “My parents are forced to talk about it, but it’s true that I love Chinese. To tell you the truth, before writing this song, I was already trying to write an online novel, and it was published online. Popularity is okay.”
Listening to him directly asking about his purpose, Chen Yu smiled and said, “I like your songs very much…”
Top songwriters are eligible to participate in the share of song revenue.
The price of famous lyrics can only be calculated in thousands.
About ten minutes later, a man wearing water-milled blue jeans and a black T-shirt came to Chen Yu’s side. The man was wearing a black sun hat, and his voice was a bit rough when he opened his mouth, “Mr. Chen?”
You can’t sell it for much money anyway, so why talk about it?
Is this also something ordinary people can try to write?
Zhao Lei: “???”
A waiter came over, Zhao Lei ordered a random cup of coffee, and after sending the waiter away, Zhao Lei looked at Chen Yu and asked, “Mr. Chen, I don’t know if you asked me to come here through my friend, what’s the matter? I’m sorry! I’m a straight talker and like to speak straight to the point, don’t mind me.”
Chen Yu: “???”
Even if the songwriter is difficult to become famous, the price of the lyrics of a new song is too cheap.
Many writers started writing online articles one by one without a teacher just because they heard that writing novels can make money, writing well, and making a lot of money, and constantly pondering the skills of writing.
He frowned and asked, he couldn’t understand a little, but some people don’t want money?
The score for the song appears on the screen.
But out of politeness and the face of the friend who introduced him to see Chen Yu, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, forced a smile, and said, “Yes! Of course! Where are the lyrics? Let me see.”
“It wasn’t just the wine last night that made me cry, it wasn’t just your gentleness that made me reluctant to part, it’s not just your gentleness, how long I have to go, you hold my hand, what makes me feel embarrassed is the freedom to struggle… …”
When Zhao Lei heard the words, he frowned and said hesitantly, “The lyrics are good, I like them! Really! I really like them, but there are no songs. If there is a suitable song, then I will definitely be willing to include it in my new album. In the album, it’s a pity, can you see it otherwise? I’ll take the lyrics back first, and I’ll try to see if I can make a suitable song for it, can you see it?”
Zhao Lei nodded, reached out and shook hands with Chen Yu, glanced around subconsciously, and said in a low voice, “Let’s all sit down? It’s easy to attract everyone’s attention when we all stand.”
And such a big environment is also a major reason for the rapid rise of online novels.
The two sat opposite each other.
Although his voice was lowered, his voice was still thick.
A stranger, a businessman, a young man who claimed to be trying to write an online novel recently, not only handwritten a very good lyrics, but also composed the song?
But he didn’t guess this one.
At this moment, he seriously doubted that the lyrics written by Chen Yu were something like modern poetry.
These people are not necessarily because of how much they like to write.
result?
Can anyone write songs these days?
After reading the entire lyrics, there was a faint melancholy in his heart.
Gave him the confidence to write his own lyrics.
Lyrics, this thing, anyone with a bit of writing can try to write them.
Those nonsense things can be considered poetry, so why can’t I write lyrics?
…
However, in the domestic pop music scene, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer good lyrics.
Before coming to see Zhao Lei with the lyrics and music of this song, Chen Yu found out on the Internet how much the lyrics and music of a new song in the current music world can sell for.
He can probably guess Zhao Lei’s mood at this time, and he can understand it.
These two words are very neutral, he can’t comment, he can only continue to read the specific lyrics.
Chen Yu was speechless for a moment.
Um?
What is the reason?
At this time, the coffee ordered by Zhao Lei came.
How many words are the lyrics of a song compared to a long online novel with millions of words?
Chen Yu nodded and said with a smile: “Yes! You know, I’m in business, and I’m doing business well, so I don’t lack this little money, I’ll give you this song as a friend to you. Come on! If there is another cooperation, let’s talk about money, what do you think?”
He first copied the lyrics of “Chengdu” on scratch paper, then took pictures with his mobile phone and stored them in the mobile phone in the form of photos.
Chen Yu smiled and understood his concerns.
“Okay! Please take a seat!”
Chen Yu smiled slightly and continued: “So, I tried to write a song with your voice and singing style. I heard that you are preparing a new album recently, so I wanted to show you that song, If you like it! I’ll sing it for you. If you don’t like it, I’ll find another singer to try. Are you interested in seeing that song?”
After being silent for a while, seeing that Zhao Lei was still looking at him seriously, Chen Yu was helpless and said with a smile: “Okay! In that case, please tell me the price!”
Zhao Lei looked at Chen Yu in surprise, and then looked down at the sheet music on his phone. At this moment, he felt very unreal.
real or fake?
