"Hey, Xiao Zhang, hey, Jiang Kan, there is such a thing, I think I should tell you..."
After practicing guitar all morning, Jiang Kan's left hand was already in unbearable pain, and blisters appeared on his fingers for the second time. It seemed that the calluses were not far away.
He was lying in bed relaxing at this time, and at the same time, he remembered something and made a call to his agent.
"Oh? What's going on?"
Zhang Lingling is sitting at her temporary workstation in the Rongcheng branch, biting the cap of her pen, writing and drawing on a piece of A4 paper.
When she heard the phone ringing, she picked it up and asked.
"It's like this. I was inspired yesterday and wrote a new song."
"I think now I am also a contracted songwriter of the company. According to the contract, I should report to you when I have new songs..."
According to ordinary people's thinking, if a composer writes a song by himself and finds a singer to sing it, doesn't it mean that all the money he earns belongs to him, so why would he take the initiative to tell the agency to let them get a share of the pie?
But the actual reality is that before you become famous, no matter how brilliant the song you write is, there is no powerful big company behind it to help you promote and package it, so the scope and influence of the song will be quite limited.
Haven't you seen Jiang Kan's song "Someone Like Me" before? It has such good lyrics, music and singing effects. With the help of Xiao Feiyan, a major anchor supported by hundreds of thousands of fans, the number of downloads has stopped at It has been around 20,000 for a long time, and the ranking has been dropping.
But since the signing of the contract, the company's publicity has been intensive. In less than two days, the number has risen to 50,000, and the ranking is about to break into the top ten.
"Oh? Brother Kan, do you have a new song?"
Zhang Lingling's eyes lit up and she put down the pen in her hand.
"Do you have a finished song? Oh, it's a score... But can you play and sing it for me? How about you look at it like this and I go to your place?"
Her first reaction was anticipation.
Very much looking forward to it.
After all, the quality of Jiang Kan's first two songs is very good. If only one song is written well, it may be a coincidence, but both songs are of such a good level. Besides, to say this is a coincidence is to insult each other. IQ.
"Oh, I just need to come to the company. I won't bother you to run away..."
Jiang Kan was about to refuse, but was stopped by the other party:
"Brother Kan, you are being polite when you say this. You were only supposed to come to work on Monday. I have already troubled you to run once before. How can I let you run again... Your address is Building XX, XX Community, XX Street. Right? I'll be there in an hour and a half."
After saying that, Zhang Lingling hung up the phone without giving Jiang Kan a chance to speak, and hurriedly got up and walked to the elevator.
"Hey... this little girl, you can do it!"
Looking at the failed conversation, Jiang Kan gave the other party a silent thumbs up in his heart.
Being so caring about his artists, it’s no wonder that he was able to become a senior manager of the second largest company in the country at such a young age of thirty.
If that bitch leader of his had cared so much about him, the bad things that happened later would not have happened.
Maybe I am still continuing my game production career in that IT company.
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these things, he stood up and continued practicing the guitar playing of "Chengdu".
…
An hour and a half later, Jiang Kan received Zhang Lingling who hurriedly arrived on the first floor of his building.
"Thank you for your hard work, drink water."
He handed over a bottle of room-temperature mineral water, and the other party took it without saying a word and drank half of the bottle. It seemed that he was really thirsty.
"Haha, let's go up."
Because she drank a little hastily, Zhang Lingling choked and coughed. Seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed, Jiang Kan also seemed helpless: This is not at home, and there is no tissue on hand to hand over!
After entering the door, Zhang Lingling was a little cautious at first. She looked up and down, left and right, and then asked in a low voice:
"Is sister-in-law at home?"
Seeing her cautious look, Jiang Kan couldn't help but laugh "haha".
"No. There are no sisters-in-law here anymore."
He handed over a new pair of slippers and let Zhang Lingling enter the house.
"No sister-in-law, no sister-in-law? What do you mean..."
The agent's old girl asked in surprise.
"To put it simply, we are divorced..."
Jiang Kan briefly talked about his housework, which made Zhang Lingling sigh with emotion.
"That's fine. A man has great ambitions. How can he be hampered by trivial matters when he wants to do big things? Brother Kan, I support you!"
She said and winked at him.
"Haha, you're not the first one to say that to me, but I've figured it out... what do you want to drink?"
"No, I still have this."
She shook the mineral water bottle in her hand.
"Okay, let me play my new song for you."
…
After singing the song, Zhang Lingling was shocked and stunned.
"Brother Kan, I originally thought that Teacher Fang's composition and lyrics were unrivaled in the world. I never thought I would meet a creative genius like you. You are the one!"
As she spoke, she gave Jiang Kan a thumbs up.
"Haha, that's a prize. I have accumulated a lot more in normal times. I have a good hand..."
Jiang Kan calmly installed a pen and shook his head.
"Brother Kan, although I am not a professional evaluation analyst, just listening to this song with my ears, I feel that it has a double-A rating for lyrics and music!"
"And the lyrics are so relevant to the city of Chengdu. I think it has the potential to become a hit!"
Zhang Lingling's eyes were shining and she said with certainty.
"Ha, I hope that's the case, then I'll accept your good advice first."
Jiang Kan was also very happy. Since he was not a professional music practitioner, when he first got the song from the system, he just thought it was good, but he was not completely sure whether it met the market demand.
But since the professionals said this, his heart fell into his stomach with peace of mind.
"Then, I have another question. If I go to a pub to sing in the future, can I sing this song? Or should I authorize them to sing and use it?"
This question also needs to be asked clearly. Liu Zhiheng’s bar is called the Bistro, and he feels that this song will definitely be sung by him.
"Of course authorization is possible, but the premise is that he signs a licensing agreement with the company. After all, your song is a work published as a company employee (Note 1), and the company has paid and will pay a huge amount for it. publicity funds and resources.”
“But if you created it yourself before signing the contract, and even though it was created after signing the contract, it does not require publicity, promotion and use of any company funds and resources through company channels and is produced during non-working hours. The copyright and authorship of your own private works belong to you personally.”
Jiang Kan expressed his understanding. He had already understood these terms when signing the contract, and now he just wanted to confirm them again.
Feiyang Music is so generous to himself, and he can be regarded as cherishing his talents like gold.
"And I have a hunch that if your song becomes popular, it might even get the attention of Chengdu officials!"
"You are a native of the area, tsk tsk, there are... a lot of benefits here!"
Zhang Lingling was still immersed in the atmosphere brought by the song just now, and said with some expectation.
"Hey, a great idea suddenly occurred to me!"
Her eyes lit up and she snapped her fingers!
