Chapter 40: maverick and non-primary
What kind of band is Sunset Afterglow?
Amateur play ticket nature metal band.
There are 6 people in the original class. Except for the two keyboard players who have a little basic knowledge of the piano since elementary school, the remaining 4 people have no basic knowledge of music.
Just a few people who love to listen to music and think musical instruments are fun, so everyone got together to learn musical instruments and music theory from scratch, and try to create.
In the beginning, everyone started at the same starting line and didn’t understand anything. Over the years, with different talents and different levels of effort, the perception of strength has become more and more obvious.
Zhao Junxin has the highest talent and is willing to spend the most time on music. She learns the fastest and understands the most, and has the strongest ability. So, she took over all the songwriting and arranging work in the early stage of the band.
Later, Zhang Ao could also share the work of writing songs, and others could barely write the chords of their own instruments. But the response of these songs has never been as popular as Zhao Junxin.
The gap in creative ability is huge, not to mention the gap in instrument technology.
In two years, Zhao Junxin has reached the level of a professional bass player, and some members of the team are still in their infancy.
Of course, such a band was greeted with a lot of scorn and abuse when performing on stage, but the songs written by Zhao Junxin are good, and the sunset has also gained many loyal fans. They are getting red.
However, the overall technical level of the band could not keep up with the speed of Hong. At first, everyone still practiced the technique vigorously, but later, how could it be fun to have a date with a girl while practicing the piano?
Then, the lead singer was replaced by Song Feifei, and the commerciality of the band was discovered by the brokerage company. The company does not need how good or strong the band is, but feels that this band can operate, and there is a topic on reality TV shows. Song Feifei’s face can attract people’s popularity and make money as quickly as possible. Creative ability, musical instrument performance technology, these have become clouds.
The joy of being famous made most of the band flutter. Since the company recognizes them, their level must be enough, why bother to study any technology.
As for the development of the band, whoever brings opportunities and who makes money is the master. As for Zhao Junxin, who paid silently but prevented everyone from stepping into the mainstream market, it became a burden that must be thrown away.
They also felt guilty for expelling Zhao Junxin. But that guilt is nothing compared to the great temptation of fame and fortune.
But they didn’t expect this inconspicuous burden to take away all the songs.
Without those songs, what is left of the sunset?
At this time, they began to think, once Zhao Junxin left, how should they support this band?
A piece of paper leaving the team agreement, like a blow to the head, wakes up Zhang Ao’s brain, which is being driven by fame and fortune.
They seem to have made a stupid mistake.
“Jun Xin, in fact, we don’t want you to leave.” Zhang Ao insisted: “But if the band wants to develop, it has to compromise like the public. All the famous metal bands have finally become popular, why don’t you change the style? If you If you’re willing to change, let’s just pretend that leaving the team didn’t happen, can we all do it together?”
Song Feifei immediately stepped on Zhang Ao’s foot to protest, but her boyfriend gave her a fierce stare.
The other members of the band understood that they were wrong, but also felt that Zhao Junxin’s move was too cruel.
The best outcome for the band is to keep her. So they also tried their best to persuade them, as if the dismissal they said yesterday was just an innocuous joke.
“No, it’s different.” Zhao Junxin firmly rejected his teammates’ retention: “I won’t compromise or change about the music. The sunset is not suitable for me. It’s the right decision to leave as soon as possible.”
“But you can’t take all the songs, how does this make our band survive?” the drummer said in frustration.
“You can take some time to write your own.” Zhao Junxin was indifferent.
“Write it yourself! Don’t we live without you?!” Feifei Song patted the table: “This band relies on me to get the company’s contract, I have the final say! The agreement is brought, and I signed it!”
Song Feifei had a tough attitude, she would not allow Zhao Junxin any possibility of returning to the sunset.
Besides, do you need to say hello to what song you want to sing after you get on stage? In this world, the rich and famous have the final say. When they become popular, the agreement to leave the team will be a P!
“Okay, then sign it.” Zhao Jun thought, she was not in a hurry.
“Jun Xin, don’t listen to Feifei’s nonsense.” Zhang Ao scolded Song Feifei while coaxing Zhao Junxin.
Song Feifei cried so much that it was raining, but Zhang Ao didn’t have the heart to coax her. Instead, she pushed the person aside and forbid her to make trouble again.
He understood what Song Feifei meant, signed an agreement to send people away, and then sang what he should sing. Such an idea did not come to mind.
But if Zhao Junxin announced the agreement in a fit of anger, wouldn’t their actions declare to the world that the sunset and the afterglow left Zhao Junxin, it is true that Jiang Lang’s talents are exhausted, and they can’t write songs?
A band that can’t make its own…is really going to be laughed at.
They are going to participate in the reality show soon, isn’t this sending black material to the opponents?
Zhang Ao didn’t want to be so ugly, he wanted to be a decent celebrity.
Zhao Jun didn’t want to come back, so he thought of another way.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Ao thought of a good solution, and he said, “In this way, Jun Xin, we will not sing your songs for nothing, I will buy them all.”
Zhao Jun asked, “How to buy it?”
She applauded in her heart, things were going in the direction she hoped. The prey successfully entered the trap.
It wasn’t her purpose to take back her own songs and leave the sunset without a song to sing. This way of revenge can only be happy for a while.
It is the best way to let them pay for the songs, and every performance of the sunset will generate income for her in the future.
“Buy out a song for 5,000.” Zhang Ao quoted, he considered himself very generous.
5,000 yuan a piece, more than 20 songs add up to more than 100,000 yuan. Zhao Junxin is not that famous either, the price is already the limit he can give.
Zhao Junxin immediately poured cold water on him: “I’m afraid you’re missing a single digit.”
The price of buying a song online is generally in the range of 30,000 to 50,000, and high-quality 100,000 or one million are possible.
Of course, Zhao Junxin would not accept this form of buyout. After the buyout, it has nothing to do with how much revenue they get from singing. Moreover, in the future, if she wants to perform these songs herself, she will have to ask them for authorization, so she is not that stupid.
“Then what do you think?” Zhang Ao felt uneasy, feeling that Jun Xin was not as easy to talk as before.
Zhao Junxin quoted: “Bass chords can be bought out, a set of chords costs 1,000 yuan. I don’t sell the complete song, but I can authorize you to perform it. The licensing fee is considered cheap in the past. The licensing fee for a song is 5,000 yuan, but not Including commercial performances and publishing. According to the rules, I will take a commission. Of course, songs cannot be adapted, and the cost of adaptation will be calculated separately.”
Song Feifei started to pat the table again: “You really are a lion asking for a price! Who do you think you are!”
Originally thought that a little entertainment would be enough, but I didn’t expect this person to be so difficult!
Zhao Junxin’s abacus was too good, and Song Feifei only saw the bills in her pocket flying away in bundles. She doesn’t want to pay a penny!
Besides, there are so many infringements in the music market now, who has an accident because of this problem? Why are you so particular about it?
Zhao Jun calmly said: “Then sign the agreement to leave the team, I don’t care.”
“Jun Xin, don’t listen to Feifei. Just do as you say!” Zhang Ao decided.
Song Feifei wanted to make trouble, but was suppressed by Zhang Ao again.
To be honest, according to the quality of the songs, Zhao Junxin’s asking price is not too high. And in a short period of time, the sunset can’t really leave her song.
He gives this money!
He doesn’t want any black history to hinder his future, he wants to make a good debut!
Others have no opinion, the money is not from them anyway.
*
Zhao Junxin and Zhang Ao discussed the details again. Witnessed by Yao Jiaming, the owner of the music business, the two sides signed a departure agreement, a power of attorney for song performance rights, and a contract for the transfer of some chord music copyrights.
In one morning, Zhao Junxin’s account increased by 186,000 yuan, and he was really happy.
People who give money are not very happy.
After the contract was signed, Feifei Song turned around and left in a fit of anger. The rest of the band didn’t want to stay any longer, so they were going to get together for lunch.
Only Zhang Ao was still sitting opposite Zhao Junxin, with a complicated mood.
Although he had spent so much money, he still felt a little more guilty and regretful when he saw Zhao Junxin.
However, Zhang Ao didn’t expect his ex-girlfriend to change completely overnight.
Her face was still gentle and beautiful, which made his heart flutter, but her eyes were completely indifferent and sharp.
She had changed, and it was him who made her change. This made him emotional.
Thinking back to the past, Zhang Ao knew very well that he was sorry for her.
She cheated on her when she was dating, let her ex-girlfriend replace her lead singer, and finally joined her teammates to fire her…
Every piece of work is not something that people do.
For the eyes of others and for his own future, he sacrificed the girl he liked.
No matter how gentle a person is treated like this, it will change…
He owed Zhao Junxin an apology.
Zhao Junxin originally wanted to sit at the music grid for a while, but Zhang Aolai didn’t seem to have any plans to leave here.
“Song Feifei is gone, aren’t you going with me?” Zhao Junxin asked Zhang Ao to hurry up.
“I have to breathe.” Zhang Ao smiled bitterly. He had no self-consciousness that he was unpopular, and he followed Zhao Junxin to ask for the same drinks and snacks, ready to talk in depth.
“Then you take a breath, I’ll take a step first.” Zhao Junxin packed up and prepared to leave. Looking at this guy, I can’t even eat the pastries.
“Don’t! Jun Xin, can we have a good talk?” Zhang Ao stopped the person.
He has a lot to say, but his mind is still in a mess, and he can’t make up his mind.
“We’ve been talking about public affairs for a long time, so there’s no need for private affairs.”
After speaking, Zhao Junxin left decisively, leaving only Zhang Ao with a tall back.
Zhang Ao was restless for a long time, and finally summoned up the courage to chase out.
Looking at the back of the girl he loved leaving, he wanted to shout, “Zhao Junxin, I’m sorry!”
But when he said this, the voice was so small that he couldn’t hear it.

In the past few days, I have been updated before 12 o’clock. It seems that the jj system does not prompt to update. I will try another update time today.
In addition, the buyout price of the songs in the article is the average result obtained by me synthesizing the data of several websites at home and abroad. It is not very scientific, please don’t take it seriously.
