I'm here to chase the stars

Chapter 19 This is a misunderstanding

Sunrise East.

Jiang Huo hummed a little tune and drove to the company in the car. He was in good spirits on happy occasions. A while ago, he got a good script, which told the story of the life of a wandering singer in Bei Piao, and the journey of chasing music dreams.

The notebook was handed over, and the company agreed. Although the budget was not much, it was within the acceptable range. Afterwards, some investment sponsorship was brought in, and the funds were already in place.

After these days of audition selection, the actors are basically confirmed.

Jiang Huo has been pondering some details recently, because it is about wandering singers in Beidiao, and the music part is indispensable.

There is no rush for the background music, but the song that the homeless singer will sing in the movie has not yet been determined.

Whether you choose to add some original songs to the movie, or choose to sing some classic songs, and which songs fit the plot and characters, you must carefully consider.

I've been thinking about these questions for the past few days. Last night, seeing his daughter watching a variety show in front of the computer, he followed suit.

Originally, he planned to relax and relax, and then see if he could bump into a dead mouse and find some inspiration. Unexpectedly, he really bumped into it.

As soon as he heard the song "Life Like a Summer Flower", Jiang Huo fell in love with it. He felt comfortable listening to it, and it fit the plot of the story. When the movie came to an end, the protagonist could sing it, or it could be used as an interlude.

If it wasn't a little late yesterday, he really wanted someone to contact the "Dream Voice" program team immediately.

"It doesn't matter, there will be time the next day." Jiang Huo thought so, so as soon as he arrived at the company, he had to arrange things.

But halfway through the instructions, he decided to make a phone call first.

Director Yu was preparing for the rehearsal when the phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Jiang Huo. He couldn't help laughing.

Although he is a variety show director and Jiang Huo is a film director, the two used to be classmates in the film and television academy and had a close friendship. I don't know why I called him this early in the morning. What's the matter?

Director Yu thought about it, connected the phone in his hand, and said loudly: "Hey, Director Jiang, why did you think of calling me?"

Jiang Huo scolded with a smile: "Well, don't embarrass me, what are you busy with?"

"Yeah, preparing for rehearsal."

"Really, then let me make a long story short. I won't waste your time. I recently received a script and I need to find some songs. When I was watching your show with my daughter yesterday, I found one song. I'll ask you first."

Director Yu scolded: "Fart, ask me first, let me bargain for you? I don't know what you mean?"

When Jiang Huo heard this, he vomited bitterly: "The budget is too small, and it's not like you don't know it. With such a small budget, the actors still have to take the big bucks, and the rest can't be broken into two halves to spend."

Director Yu also understood the market, and immediately responded: "Okay, what you're looking for is the original, right? You found it after the first episode aired, tell me, which song is in your picture, I'll ask you, To be honest, the songs of newcomers are not too expensive."

But just after he finished speaking, Director Yu suddenly became agitated and remembered something.

Before he could change his words, he heard Jiang Huo say: "That's a good relationship. I just fell in love with that song "Life is Like a Summer Flower". people to contact your company."

"This..." Director Yu sighed, knowing this was the result.

Jiang Huo heard something strange, he was anxious, and asked: "Why, you won't tell me that someone has already bought it?"

Director Yu explained: "That's not true, but the copyright of this song does not belong to us, but to the students themselves."

"Huh?" Jiang Huo was stunned. "Don't fool me. When your talent show signs contracts with contestants, don't you always buy out the copyright in advance? How could it be with the contestants?"

"When they signed the contract, they bought back their copyright in advance."

"You just sold it?" Jiang Huo questioned.

Hearing this tone, Director Yu felt that Jiang Huo was about to say "Are you guys stupid?" and said angrily: "Mr. Chen offered a seven-figure quotation without blinking his eyes. If it were you, Will you sell it or not?"

"..." Jiang Huo felt that he was not a good person, what's the matter!
As if he had guessed Jiang Huo's thoughts, Director Yu also sighed: "Who would have thought that, hey, wait..."

While speaking, the staff handed a copy of the data to Director Yu.

After Director Yu took it, he glanced at it twice, with a happy expression on his face, but when his eyes fell on a string of numbers, his expression became rich again.

Facing the phone again, Director Yu said in a strange tone, "Old Jiang, I just got some data."

Jiang Huo faintly felt something was wrong: "Ratings? Clicks? Is it related to the song I want?"

Director Yu nodded: "Yes, if you're not interested in the program data, I won't talk about it. I'll just talk about the song "Life is Like a Summer Flower". 300 million, if you want to get it at a low price, it will be difficult."

"..." Jiang Huo had a bitter face, and scolded his mother in his heart, but thinking about the budget, it was not his money, he spent more on buying songs, and it was the same in other places.

After making a decision, he hurriedly said, "It's always possible to talk, then help me with...with..."

"That player's name is Xu Fang." Director Yu reminded.

Jiang Huo immediately said: "Yes, please tell Xu Fang for me, and give me another contact information."

"Okay." Director Yu agreed.

Jiang Huo hung up the phone, sighed, and felt that he, as a director of second-rate literary and drama films, still had no confidence, and had to consider so many things when buying a song.

If this is changed to some big directors of first-line commercial films, maybe it's the way you ask for the price and I pay for it.

"Poor." Jiang Huo was a little annoyed.

Before Director Yu contacted Xu Fang, he first talked with Boss Chen.

In the morning, when Boss Chen got the data such as the ratings and hits of the program, his face was full of joy.
However, Boss Chen was quite arrogant and didn't intend to stop him. He thought for a while and said, "As long as the recording of the program is not delayed, let them talk to Xu Fang. There have been rumors on the Internet before this matter. If the copyright is sold, it should be hidden. Can't stop.

In fact, it’s nothing. I didn’t intend to hype this up before, but with the current situation, I think we can do some positive publicity.

Today I will say hello to the public relations and ask them to make a plan. Tomorrow, after the show is recorded, we will have a small meeting. "

"Okay, today's rehearsal, why don't you come and take a look?" Director Yu asked.

"I have something to do today, let's go tomorrow when the official recording is made." After talking about this, Boss Chen simply asked about the situation of several mentors and other contestants, and ended the call.

Xu Fang was still preparing for the rehearsal, so Director Yu came to find him in person.

He thought it was Director Yu who came to tell him about the contract, but he didn't expect someone to buy the copyright.

Director Yu didn't hesitate, and handed him a handwritten number: "This is Director Jiang Huo's contact number, if you think we can talk, I'll tell him your contact information, or you can contact him yourself.

Director Jiang Huo has a limited budget, so he might want you to make it cheaper. My suggestion is, if you can consider it, there is no need to refuse it. It will be good for you. "

Xu Fang nodded: "I understand, thank you Director Yu, when the recording is completed tomorrow, I will communicate with Director Jiang Huo in person."

"Okay, I'll tell him."

Director Yu nodded and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that because today’s rehearsal will be recorded tomorrow, the mobile phone will not be returned to the students for these two days, and Xu Fang didn’t mean to return the mobile phone at all just now, and he even said that it will be recorded tomorrow Get in touch when you're done.

This made Yu Dao couldn't help but look at Xu Fang a few times in his heart, people are stupid and have a lot of money?

A lot of money is true, but stupid people are a joke!
He has also watched the song that Xu Fang is going to rehearse today, and he wonders how many people will be interested after it is broadcast.

Thinking of this, Director Yu smiled, and said in his heart: "It's getting more and more exciting."

It's a pity that Xu Fang didn't know Director Yu's mood. If he knew, he would definitely say that this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

He is purely lazy, thinking that he is so busy right now, so he will postpone it until he is not busy.

Don't worry, it won't sell for much money anyway!
