Early the next morning, Shen Zhe went directly to Tianyu Entertainment and found Li Tao.
"Old Shen, why are you here? Wasn't the theme song sent to you? How about it? Did you receive it?" Li Tao asked in surprise.
"The song has been received. I am very satisfied. I came here to sign the contract today. But before signing the contract, I would like to talk to Wang Xuan in person. Is he here?" Shen Zhe said.
"I don't know if he comes to work. You know, a top songwriter like Brother Xuan decides whether he comes to work in the company. We can't ask for too much. In this way, I will take you to his office to see Look."
"good."
The two came to Wang Xuan's office, and the door was open.
"You're lucky, Brother Xuan should be in the office." Li Tao smiled and knocked on the door politely.
"Please come in."
Wang Xuan's voice came from inside. He should be in the study. Li Tao took Shen Zhe directly to the study.
Wang Xuan is indeed reading in the study. Seeing Li Tao and Shen Zhe coming in, Wang Xuan was stunned: "Brother Tao, Director Shen, why are you here?"
"Old Shen is looking for you, and I'm just helping to lead the way." Li Tao said.
"It's like this, Wang Xuan, I received the theme song you wrote for me yesterday. I'm very satisfied with it, but it feels a little flawed. The heroine of my movie is named Zheng Yueqin, but the lyrics are Feng Suzhen..."
"Has Director Shen ever considered replacing Zheng Yueqin with Feng Suzhen? Your movie is adapted from the Huangmei Opera story "The Female Consort". The heroine in the story of "The Female Consort" was originally named Feng Suzhen, why did she change her name to Zheng Yueqin? "Wang Xuan asked.
"this..."
"Director Shen's ancestral home is Yicheng. This TV series should be made with the purpose of promoting Huangmei Opera, right? In this case, wouldn't it be better to have the original heroine's name? Of course, if Director Shen insists on changing it, there is no problem. , the most I can do is ask the singer to record it again." Wang Xuan said.
"Forget it, don't change it. You are right. In recent years, Yicheng's Huangmei Opera has become increasingly declining. Not many people watch a performance. Many theater troupes have dispersed and are unable to support themselves. As Yicheng As a local, I felt uncomfortable watching it, so I thought about adapting the classic story from Huangmei Opera into a TV series to see if it could bring some viewers to Huangmei Opera," Shen Zhe said.
"Director Shen Gao Yi. In fact, the singer of the theme song composed for you is a local from Yicheng. In the past, Huangmei Opera singers were still mainstays. Later, the troupe broke up and they turned into singers."
"No wonder, I asked her why she sang so well in Huangmei Opera." Shen Zhe suddenly realized, "I have no problem. We can talk about the details of the contract now."
"You talk to Brother Tao, he is responsible for this." Wang Xuan said.
"Yes, I am responsible for this. Lao Shen, let's go to my office and talk over tea. The main thing is that there is no contract with Wang Xuan." Li Tao answered.
"good!"
...
Two hours later, Li Tao came to Wang Xuan's office again: "The contract has been negotiated and just signed. Lao Shen only needs the right to use the songs, and only for the theme songs of TV series. A one-time payment of 7 million. But among them 1 million is given to the singer, which is regarded as an appearance fee. After the TV series is launched, the singer will sing the theme song to promote it."
"Okay, Brother Tao is awesome!" Wang Xuan praised, only the right to use the theme song of the TV series, the price of 6 million is very high, which is equivalent to a guarantee of 6 million for this song.
Of course, not all of the 6 million will be given to Wang Xuan, the company will take 30% of it.
Generally, if the songs produced by Wang Xuan are used externally, Wang Xuan and the company will share the profits at 70/30. If it is used internally, Wang Xuan can get 20% of the revenue generated after it goes online.
Take the song "Female Consort" as an example. Shen Zhe purchased the right to use the song "Female Consort" and paid 6 million. This was for external use, and Wang Xuan was able to get 70% of 4.2 million. At the same time, this song will be sung by Yang Tingting, a singer owned by Tianyu. This is for internal use, and Wang Xuan can share 20% of the revenue generated.
In addition, there are special circumstances for internal use. If the songs produced by Wang Xuan are used for special purposes, the company will have to pay Wang Xuan an additional royalties.
Take the song "The World" as an example. The song "The World" was not only sung by Tianyu's singer Xu Yang, but was also used as the theme song of the movie "Half City of Smoke and Sand", which is considered a special purpose. Therefore, after the song was released, Wang Xuan not only received 40% of the profit, but the company also paid Wang Xuan an additional 6 million.
Of course, "The World" is also a special situation. This song was released under urgent circumstances. Under normal circumstances, the additional fee paid by the company to Wang Xuan would not be that high, at least it would have to be cut in half.
After Li Tao left, Wang Xuan became idle.
When he joined the company yesterday, Li Tao had actually roped Wang Xuan into the music department's order sharing group. There were a lot of orders, but Wang Xuan checked and found no orders that interested him.
Mainly because the price is not right!
Tianyu's music department is so poor that its presence in the industry is very low and it is impossible to receive high-quality orders.
Anyway, Wang Xuan took a look and saw that there were almost all orders worth hundreds of thousands.
With the limited orders of three to two million yuan, Wang Xuan was able to arouse a little interest, but the other two gold medal composers from Tianyu Music Department have already taken over. Wang Xuan could only give up. As the chief composer of Tianyu, it is impossible for him to compete for orders from the people below, unless the people below can't handle it and need his help.
never mind.
Wang Xuan also enjoyed his leisure time. Isn’t it fun to fish for work?
That's what he thought, but Wang Xuan didn't really fish for it, but continued to organize his own resources.
The results are pretty good. A week later, Wang Xuan had sorted out all of Jay Chou's classic songs.
The amount of this project is not small. You must know that before Wang Xuan's time travel, Jay Chou had released more than 300 singles, of which no less than 100 were considered classics. To put it bluntly, if Wang Xuan had just followed the path of a singer, Jay Chou's songs alone would be enough for him to last a lifetime.
In addition, Wang Xuan also compiled the plot outline and details of a novel.
"Tian Long Ba Bu" by Mr. Jin.
This is a novel and TV series that Wang Xuan likes very much on Earth. When he takes time, he will roughly restore the novel based on the plot outline and details, so as to lay a mass foundation for future TV series.
While Wang Xuan was sorting out resources, Shen Zhe posted on Weibo on the 20th: "The filming of "The Heroine" has been completed and has passed the review. It is expected to be released simultaneously on Shanghai TV and Xiangjiang TV at 8pm on the 1st of next month. This is the first TV series directed by me. It is adapted from the classic story "The Female Consort" in Huangmei Opera. It is a wonderful story not to be missed. Special thanks to top composer Wang Xuan for customizing the theme song "The Female Consort" for "The Female Consort". "At the end of the Weibo post, Shen Zhe also liked Wang Xuan's Weibo post.
Shen Zhe is also considered a heavyweight director in the industry. Although he has not entered the billion-dollar box office club, he is not far away. The number of followers on Weibo is no less than 3 million.
"The Heroine" took one and a half years from the start of filming to its release, and many netizens have been looking forward to it for a long time. So as soon as Shen Zhe's Weibo post was posted, it quickly aroused heated discussions and became a hot search topic.
