At this time, Ye Ning was at the Beijing Audio and Video Publishing House, finalizing the status of the tape with Li Ziheng.
"The tape production went very smoothly and there was no need for additional recording. If nothing else happens, it should be officially released next month." Li Ziheng said with a smile on his face, full of confidence in the release of the tape.
"You also need to prepare in advance."
"Ready?" Ye Ning was confused.
Li Ziheng smiled and said: "When the tape is released, I'm afraid people all over the country will know your name, and your life and work will have undergone earth-shaking changes by then. Although this is a good thing, there will also be troubles that will follow. You need to get used to it slowly."
He has also recorded tapes for other new singers, and has gained a little fame. Even some people who are not determined will quickly get lost in the sudden fame and fortune.
He definitely didn't want Ye Ning to become like that.
Ye Ning was silent. He had agreed to cooperate here in order to improve his strength and connections and be able to compete with Mu Wenhao.
But now that we have reached this point, we can only move forward without hesitation.
Seeing that she seemed to be hesitating, Li Ziheng couldn't help but suggest: "If you find it troublesome, you can continue to use the stage name Ye Zi."
"No, just use my original name."
Ye Ning rejected the proposal without thinking. It was hard for her to get rid of Mu Wenhao's use of Ye Zi to restrain her.
Li Ziheng was stunned for a moment by her reaction and did not continue to lobby.
No matter what name she goes by, her voice belongs only to her.
At this time, a staff member came to the door and said to Li Ziheng: "Director Li, Yan Zuoqu called and said he was looking for you."
"Turn the phone over." Li Ziheng obviously didn't regard Ye Ning as an outsider, and immediately picked up the phone.
"Director Li, how did I hear that this tape release also includes songs by newcomers?"
Yan Xin's first words when she got through the phone were questions.
Li Ziheng didn't expect him to have such a reaction, "Does it matter? In addition to your song composed by Yan, this tape contains songs composed by other people."
"Of course it does matter. Those people are all well-known composers after all, and there is nothing wrong with putting them together with my songs. But how could you agree to put a newcomer's song in it? You are not doing this. Bringing down the overall level of the tape?”
Yan Xin said plausibly, this is what he really cares about.
After he received the song invitation from Jingcheng Audio and Video Publishing House, he knew that they attached great importance to this tape release, so he went to great lengths to write this song.
It's just that the tape didn't allow a singer as powerful as Zhen Hongfei to sing. It even added a song by a completely unknown person.
What qualifications does the other party have to be with their songs?
Yan Xin's volume was so low that Ye Ning, who was sitting next to her, could hear her clearly.
However, Ye Ning always maintained a calm expression, but Li Ziheng was extremely embarrassed.
"Yan Zuoqu, please listen to my explanation. Although Ye Ning is not famous yet, there is absolutely nothing wrong with her songs."
Even better than all their songs.
Of course, Li Ziheng only dared to think about this in his heart and would never say it out loud.
"What Ye Ning? It sounds like the name of a little girl. He couldn't be your sweetheart and deliberately have a relationship with her, right?" Yan Xin didn't give any face to Li Ziheng and vented her dissatisfaction by belittling Ye Ning.
Li Ziheng was so speechless that he didn't even dare to look at Ye Ning's reaction now.
"Yan Zuoqu, you are thinking too much. I have nothing to do with Ye Ning. Ye Ning is also the singer of our tape, and all the songs she has sung before are her own original creations."
If Yan Xin wasn't one of the best composers in China, he really wouldn't bother to explain it like this.
Yan Xin seemed to realize just then. He heard that Li Ziheng had added a newcomer's song without permission, and then he immediately lost his temper and called to question him.
But I had no idea that the composer of this song and the singer of the tape were the same person.
"Play the piano randomly!"
He was already sure that Ye Ning was definitely a connected person. Even if he had no relationship with Li Ziheng, he definitely had a close relationship with one of the leaders of the publishing house.
“Take out her song!”
Not a discussion, but a completely commanding tone.
Li Ziheng frowned and his expression became increasingly serious, "I'm afraid this won't work. The tape recording has been completed."
"Then delete my song. I will never be with someone of this caliber!" Yan Xin said angrily.
Li Ziheng calmed down instead, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The copyright of your song has been sold to the publishing house. In a sense, the song now belongs to the publishing house. We have the right to decide how to use it."
"Li Ziheng, are you deliberately going against me?" Yan Xin scolded.
Even through the phone, one can feel his anger at this time.
Li Ziheng was not affected at all and continued to remind him unhurriedly.
"Yan Zuoqu, if you must persist, the only way is to break the contract. But if you want to break the contract and get the song back, you will need to pay liquidated damages several times more than the copyright price of the song. Please think about this clearly. And I I can also assure you that Ye Ning’s songs will never bring down the overall level of the tape.”
After he finished speaking, there was finally a brief silence on the microphone.
After a few seconds, Yan Xin hung up without saying another word.
Li Ziheng seemed to have thought of this ending as he listened to the "beep beep" sound coming from the microphone.
He looked at Ye Ning again, twitched his lips, and said with some helplessness: "Yan Zuoqu is talented, but sometimes his vision is too narrow and he is always unwilling to give opportunities to newcomers."
Ye Ning was noncommittal.
"But after the tape is released, he will have an idea of your strength." Li Ziheng was not worried about Yan Xin at all, because he had full confidence in Ye Ning's new song.
Ye Ning muttered to herself, "I'm afraid he will be even more heartbroken by then."
"What did you say?" Li Ziheng didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing. Since I'm no longer needed here, I can go back with peace of mind." Ye Ning relaxed and his trip to the capital came to an end.
Ring ring ring.
The landline phone on the table rang again, and Li Ziheng frowned impatiently.
"I guess it's still Yan Zuoqu."
Ye Ning took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.
Li Ziheng watched Ye Ning leave while picking up the phone.
"Yan Zuoqu, what I just said is already very... Wen Hao, why is it you?"
The impatience in the front was replaced by the surprise in the back.
Ye Ning, who had already reached the door, paused.
