Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 15 015 "Don't worry about the copyright issue, I will give it to you"

In the afternoon, Yu Dongqing started to write the song "The Final Countdown". Anyway, everything is ready-made, just write it out.

We're leaving together,

we will leave together

But still it's farewell
but still have to say goodbye

And maybe we'll come back,

maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Back to Earth, who could have predicted

I guess there is no one to blame
i don't think anyone is to blame
We're leaving ground
we will leave the ground
Will things ever be the same again?
Will the scenery remain the same in the future?
After working all afternoon, I came home from get off work in the evening. After going out for a walk, I had nothing to do. I started to turn on my laptop and continue working. At ten o'clock in the evening, I finally got it done.

After generating the audio file and listening carefully, it feels pretty good.Of course, the arrangement effect generated by the software is far inferior to the real band accompaniment.

No matter so much, Yu Dongqing sent Luo Yun a WeChat message, and then sent this song to ask her to give her opinions.

A few minutes later, Luo Yun called: "Brother Yu, you are really talented! The song is so well written! It's so explosive! But why are the lyrics in English?"

"You didn't say that you must speak Chinese." Yu Dongqing smiled while lying on the sofa and holding her mobile phone.

"English songs are good, but let Zhang Fan sing, I wonder if he can take it down?" Luo Yun said to herself on the other side of the phone.

"Who do you think will sing this song?" Yu Dongqing was startled.

"Zhang Fan, he was the one who saw you writing the soundtrack, and found Wu Lan and asked him to write it in its entirety and he wanted to sing it."

It's him?Zhang Fan?
Of course Yu Dongqing knew Zhang Fan. He was a popular singer in the company and was born in an audition. With his delicate appearance, he became popular and quickly became a traffic star. He was active in various variety shows and released several records.

But Yu Dongqing is not optimistic.

"It's just his voice? He doesn't have enough energy to speak, as if he hasn't eaten for three days, and he still wants to sing rock songs?! I don't know what Wu Lan is thinking? Accept his request?" Yu Dongqing sneered.

"Zhang Fan's singing skills are really mediocre, but he has a lot of fans, mother fans, sister fans, don't you know how much his last digital album sold? 5000 million! He has made a lot of money for the company. Now he is a popular fried chicken in our company. I guess Wu Lan can't stand it either." Luo Yun explained.

"Okay, don't talk about it, just act like I didn't write it."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I don't want him to sing, so as not to spoil the song." Yu Dongqing replied lightly.

"Huh?" On the other side of the phone, Luo Yun was surprised.If this complete song is handed over to Wu Lan, she believes that she can win 10 for Yu Dongqing.

This is not a small amount, so why not?

Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, do you want to let others sing this song? I'm worried about copyright disputes."

Luo Yun's worry was not unreasonable.

In the eyes of outsiders, this song was written on the basis of the original soundtrack, and the copyright of the soundtrack is in the hands of Jinye Company, which can easily lead to copyright disputes.

After hearing this, Yu Dongqing replied lightly: "I have no intention of letting anyone sing, for my own entertainment, and if it is not used for commercial purposes, the company can't take care of it, right?"

"Brother Yu, you are so free and easy, I will do as you say."

"Then Wu Lan, do you have a good job?" Yu Dongqing thought of another question and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just told Wu Lan that I'll try, not necessarily that I can finish it, at worst I'll tell her that I won't be able to write it in two days, and I'm not specialized in composing music." Luo Yun said in a very relaxed tone.

Yu Dongqing calmed down.

"Okay, good night."

"Good night, sweet dreams."

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Yu Dongqing looked at the song on the laptop desktop, smiled and turned off the computer.

Yu Dongqing thought that this matter was over, but unexpectedly on Thursday, not long after Yu Dongqing went to work, she received a call from Wu Lan asking him to go to her office.

When Yu Dongqing knocked on the door and entered the office, Wu Lan personally poured him a cup of tea and sat gracefully on the sofa opposite him.

"Holly, have you written a song recently? It's The Final Countdown written by Luo Yun" Wu Lan asked with a smile, changing her usual frosty face.

Ok?
How did she know?
Luo Yun told her?

This woman, Yu Dongqing, felt dissatisfied.

Wu Lan seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, "You can't blame Luo Yun for this matter, she didn't take the initiative to say it."

It turned out that when Luo Yun was reporting work to Wu Lan, she accidentally revealed her mouth, and Wu Lan caught her and questioned her, so Luo Yun had to tell the story.

"Wu Lan, since I know everything, I don't want to say more. As for the reason why I don't want to reveal it, you must also know." Yu Dongqing said lightly.

"Is it a copyright issue?" Wu Lan replied.

"That's true on the one hand, and the other is that Zhang Fan is not suitable for singing."

"Don't worry about the copyright issue. I will tell you clearly that if you can write such an excellent song again, it is very necessary for the company to amend your contract and give you the copyright. Even if Mr. Tan disagrees, I can apply to the company's board of directors. They will not So short-sighted! Otherwise, I would also offer to resign!" Wu Lan replied.

Ah?
So determined?

Speaking of this, Wu Lan took a breather: "Holly, I also know that Zhang Fan is really not suitable for singing such songs, but you should also consider my difficulties."

"Nowadays, major entertainment companies are fighting for traffic, whether it's film, television, singing and dancing! According to online search data, Zhang Fan's daily search volume has reached [-] per day, firmly ranking among the top three. Since I took the initiative to make this request, I have to consider."

"As a company executive, it's understandable for you to think like this, but as a friend, let me remind you that real music is not like this, and a great music company cannot be supported by just a few popular singers."

"Besides, as a person, I would not give this work to these so-called traffic stars. It would be a waste of the song." Yu Dongqing's attitude was very firm.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Wu Lan looked up at him and said softly, "Dongqing, I think you have changed a lot during this time."

"Really? Don't know me anymore? Am I not Yu Dongqing?" Yu Dongqing joked.

"No, it's not very similar to you when you were still in college more than ten years ago." Wu Lan replied, her expression immediately changed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Since you don't want Zhang Fan to sing, I respect your opinion. But isn't it a pity that such a good song has been shelved? Tell me, which singer under our company is suitable for singing this song?"

"Wu Lan, this is something that a company executive like you thinks about, not something that an ordinary editor like me thinks about."

"Do me a favor." Wu Lan rolled his eyes at him, then sighed and said, "To be honest, there are twenty or thirty singers under our company, big and small, and none of them are really good at singing in the rock style."

Yu Dongqing nodded, and suddenly a name came to his mind.

"Wu Lan, a few days ago I saw a singer named Tang Guang submit a work. His voice is very suitable for singing such songs, and he also wants to join our company. You can let him try."

"Tang Guang? Why haven't I heard of this person?" Wu Lan was a little puzzled.

"It is estimated that his works and resume were eliminated before reaching you." Yu Dongqing smiled.

Wu Lan went to the boss's desk and turned on the computer. Sure enough, through the internal network, she saw that a singer named Tang Guang had submitted articles, but his works had been eliminated by the professional team.

The reason given is: "The voice and style of music are not in line with the mainstream music market."

"Wu Lan, I think you should listen to the song "The Era of Justice" written by him. It's very interesting." Yu Dongqing put forward her own suggestion.

Wu Lan dubiously put on the earphones, turned on the audio file and listened carefully, frowning slightly after a while.

"This song was recorded like this? Why is the remix so loud?
"This shows that his recording conditions are poor, but from another perspective, his voice has not been modified in post-production, and his explosive power is very strong, so he is suitable for singing this song." Yu Dongqing patiently explained.

"Then follow your wishes and give him a chance." Wu Lan finally decided.

"It's up to you"

Yu Dongqing doesn't care.

What should be said, as for Wu Lan's decision, it has nothing to do with him.
