Chapter 150: Yaochi comes online for the first time, rekindles its true form


Chapter 150: Yaochi is online for the first time, rekindling its true form

Early December.

In an office of Huayue Film and Television.

Zhai Senlei, who serves as the music supervisor, is looking at the report sent by the finance department last month and the estimated expenditures for this month.

When he turned to the expense related to the song invitation, he glanced at it casually, not intending to spend more time on it.

But the next second, his eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed.

In recent years, Huayue Film and Television has gradually begun to cut off many pure music projects. Unless they are very promising singers and artists, even if they want to invite songs, the most they can do is test the water with singles.

More energy and resources have been fully transferred to film and television, especially TV series. In addition to traditional TV series, the online drama market is also following the trend of the times.

For example, "Yao Chi Xian Yuan", which was released not long ago at the end of November, was broadcast on iQiyi and five episodes were just uploaded.

The company’s latest major work related to music direction can be traced back to Yuan Wanqing’s new album.

But it is obvious that Yuan Wanqing's comeback once again proves the correctness of the company's change of direction.

As a result, the music department gradually declined and was about to become a vassal of the film and television department.

As a music producer, Zhai Senlei has no choice but to find a job in his position. What he can do now is to follow the company's instructions and try to tighten this part of the expenses.

But at this moment, he saw the contract quotations for two songs on the report given by the finance department.

"Light Chaser", 120,000.

A song "Light", 90,000.

They are all new songs signed by Yuan Wanqing.

This made Zhai Senlei look a little dissatisfied.

After all, Yuan Wanqing's new album, including ten songs, costs almost millions.

If you include the cost of publicity and distribution, it is a huge amount.

But the final result was obviously not good.

According to his estimates, it is estimated that the cost of Yuan Wanqing's new album will not be recovered until this time next year, and he will be able to make some small profits in the future.

If Ying Zhicheng had not decided to give it another try against all the odds, Huayue Film and Television might not have renewed the contract with Yuan Wanqing.

How long has it been since then?

Why did you start inviting new songs again?

Moreover, these two songs are actually produced by the same producer.

Reignited... Zhai Senlei frowned, having no impression of this name at all.

Logically speaking, if you want to invite a singer, given Yuan Wanqing’s status, you have to find some well-known producers in the industry.

This suddenly found an unknown guy, and it was not just a buyout, but also a share-sharing agreement. Although the ratio was very low, it still made him even more dissatisfied.

Had it not been for the detailed terms in the contract Yuan Wanqing signed with the company, which stipulates that Yuan Wanqing has a guaranteed amount of money to sign songs independently every month, otherwise Zhai Senlei would have stopped it long ago.

"Xiao Cao, come in."

Zhai Senlei called his assistant in and ordered, "Check this songwriter named Zhongran and report to me later."

"Okay. "

After a while, assistant Xiao Cao came back and brought a copy of the information and contract to Zhai Senlei for review.

“This songwriter named Zhong Ran has collaborated with our company once before.” Xiao Cao said, “He wrote the theme song “Annual Rings” of “Yaochi Fairyland”. But..."

"But what?"

"This songwriter seems to be only 15 years old..."

"What?" Zhai Senlei looked confused and turned. He opened the copy of the contract sent to him by his assistant and then fell into deep thought, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this?"

"That is indeed what is written in the contract... You have to ask Ms. Yuan Wanqing for the specific situation. After all, she has the power to sign songs alone, and we can’t care about that.”

“I understand.” Zhai Senlei frowned and handed back the information in his hand, “You go down, nothing else. Something happened.”

"Producer Zhai, there will be a meeting in the music department at ten o'clock in the morning." Assistant Xiao Cao reminded.

"Oh." Zhai Senlei raised his brows, stretched out his hand again, and knocked on the table, "Then keep the information called Reigniting and put it here with me first."

...

As the time enters December, the weather has obviously turned cooler.

Although the outside is still the same school uniform jacket and trousers, inside the students have changed from short sleeves to sweaters and long johns.

During English class, Li Luo was bored and quietly handed Yan Zhusheng his draft book.

[Li Luo]: "Yaochi Fairyland" seems to be released and can be watched online. Have you watched it?

[Yan Zhusheng]: No, have you read it?

[Li Luo]: I read a little bit.

【Yan Zhusheng】: Does it look good?

[Li Luo]: Do you want to hear the truth or lies?

[Yan Zhusheng]: Listen to them all.

[Li Luo]: The lie is, the picture is exquisite and the production is excellent.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Where is the truth?

[Li Luo]: The plot is a piece of shit, it’s really hard to swallow. I can’t understand the screenwriter’s brain circuit at all. Anyone who has more brains wouldn’t be so brainless.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Does my mother sing well?

[Li Luo]: Like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Teacher Ding Xiang on the podium was explaining the text and learning the vocabulary of the new unit. He caught a glimpse of the small movements of the two people by the window in the back seat.

However, Li Luo is ranked first in the class, and Yan Zhusheng’s English is also among the top three in the class. Both of them scored 140+ in the English midterm exam.

So even if he saw the little actions of Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng, Teacher Ding was not angry. He just called them by name with a smile: "Li Luo, what sentence did we talk about just now?"

Li Luo, who was suddenly called on, didn't panic at all. When he stood up, the memory palace in his mind began to play the text that Teacher Ding just taught simultaneously, and then he answered fluently in English.

Teacher Ding coughed twice, motioned for him to sit down, and then continued the lecture.

Well...she just called Li Luo up on purpose to answer the question.

It wasn’t against Li Luo, but when she first discovered that Li Luo was deserting, she didn’t know the guy’s English proficiency yet, but she found that the guy answered questions fluently.

I found him distracted several times in class later, so he called on me and answered questions, still perfectly.

This made Teacher Ding a little curious, and he nodded, thinking that there must be a time when he doesn’t listen carefully, right? As a result, this time I clearly saw Li Luo happily passing notes and chatting with his deskmate, so how could I still answer him?

Is there really anyone who can teach in two threads?

Li Luo didn't know what Teacher Ding was thinking. After answering the question, he became honest for a while.

He was distracted in English class, mainly because he had already finished studying the content he was supposed to learn this semester by himself. He even borrowed Xu Youyu's textbook and read through all the basic English books in the back.

For high school English, as long as the vocabulary is large enough, 99% of the problems can basically be solved.

For him, English classes are the courses with the lowest return ratio.

If you have time to attend class, you might as well go through the Internet articles you read in your previous life when you are in a daze, and then prepare an outline for coding at night.

Occasionally I chatted with Yan Zhusheng for a few words, and the class passed just like that.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Have you read the QQ music comment section of "Annual Rings"?

When get out of class was about to end, Yan Zhusheng handed over the draft book and asked Li Luo a question.

Li Luo frowned, feeling suddenly uneasy.

[Li Luo]: What happened to QQ Music? Bad reviews?

[Yan Zhusheng]: No, it’s about you.

[Li Luo]: There won’t be anyone scolding me anymore, right? I am the one who writes the songs, but I am not the one who sings them.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Have you never seen the comment section over there?

When asked by Yan Zhusheng, Li Luo recalled it, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

When he first posted it, he looked at the number of plays of that song, but he didn’t pay much attention after that.

Not to mention the comment area inside.

[Li Luo]: So what happened to the comment section?

【Yan Zhusheng】: It was only after reading the comment section that I realized you were writing a novel.

Seeing this sentence, Li Luo suddenly felt a bolt from the blue, and his whole body froze.

[Li Luo]: Wait! Isn't it what my readers said?

[Yan Zhusheng]: Well, we are all helping you promote it. We are all very nice.

Li Luo: "..."

grass!

A hundred secrets and a sparse, a hundred secrets and a sparse!

Li Luo had never thought of this at first.

But soon, Yan Zhusheng continued to give him last hits.

[Yan Zhusheng]: After the release of "Yao Chi Xian Yuan", the version of "Annual Rings" sung by my mother was also posted to QQ Music.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Now there are both viewers of the TV series and your readers in the comment area.

[Yan Zhusheng]: That’s why I want to ask you, have more people read your books recently?

Seeing the draft handed over by Yan Zhusheng, the corner of Li Luo's mouth twitched.

[Li Luo]: Is this the key question?

[Li Luo]: Did your mother also see the content in the comment area?

[Yan Zhusheng]: I don’t know, I haven’t asked.

[Li Luo]: Then don’t ask! Don’t ask!

[Yan Zhusheng]: Oh, I won’t ask.

……

Huayue Film and Television, a recording room.

Luo Fei was resting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone with great interest.

After a while, Yuan Wanqing opened the door and walked in with a tired look on her face after the meeting. After sitting down on the sofa, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, she noticed that Luo Fei was looking at the phone with the corners of his mouth raised. She didn’t know what he was laughing at, so she asked: "What are you looking at? You are smiling so happily."

"I discovered something interesting." Luo Fei patted her best friend on the shoulder and reminded her, "Open your phone and look at the comment section of your song "Rings of the Year". It's so interesting! Hahahaha~"

Seeing her laughing so loudly, Yuan Wanqing was confused, and she had some guesses in her mind: "Are there many people coming to complain about "The Legend of Yaochi"?"

"It's more than that. You'll know after seeing it."

Yuan Wanqing raised her eyebrows, a little curious, so she took out her phone and looked at it.

When she clicked on the comment area, she was stunned for a moment.

【Holy shit! Is that true? Our brother Ran has made his mark, can the songs he wrote in novels still be picked up by TV dramas? 】

【My girlfriend was complaining about this show to me today. I watched an episode with her. As soon as the theme song came out, I wondered why it sounded so familiar! 】

[I watched it with my wife. The lead actor Xiao Xianrou was being marketed like crazy on the Internet and was listed in several hot searches. The show was unwatchable at all, but the songs were good]
< br>[This song comes from "I'm Really Not a Star". It is an original song by a novel author. In the book, it was also used as the theme song for a TV series]

[I laughed to death hahahahaha ! This song was given to the protagonist in the book by a favor, and it ended up being paired with a bad fairy tale movie! I would like to call him the strongest prophet! 】

【But there is one thing to say, Yuan Wanqing’s singing voice is still good, very tasteful, the songs are good, but it’s a pity that the TV series is so bad】

After reading the comments, Yuan Wanqing was instantly Lost in thought: "Luo Fei, which novel is this?"

"That's it." Luo Fei shook her phone and showed it to Yuan Wanqing, "Look, the author's name, Reignited, isn't this the stage name Li Luo gave himself?"

"Look at the song "Rings of the Year" sung by the Bamboo Sheng below. Many readers have commented on it, saying that this is a song written by the author of the novel himself."

"Isn't that Li It’s Luo Ben!”

Yuan Wanqing read all these clues and felt a little confused.

"Is Li Luo still writing novels?"

"It looks like the results are pretty good." Luo Fei clicked on the comment area of ​​the novel, "Look at the comment area, there are hundreds of comments. "

Yuan Wanqing came over to take a look, nodded, and then suddenly her face became condensed, and she pointed at the comment that had been posted at the top by readers: "This is endless... no. Could it be Zhu Sheng? That’s her online name.”

Luo Fei raised her eyebrows and realized that it was true.

[Sheng Sheng Endless]: It’s good to watch. I like Mo Qinghan better. Can you write more about her plot?

"It seems that Zhusheng has known about it for a long time." Luo Fei chuckled, "I am still a loyal reader."

Yuan Wanqing fell silent. After a long time, she also downloaded the Qidian Reading APP on her mobile phone.

“Let me see what he wrote.”
