Chapter 35 Subscription
The meeting place is in an antique tea house, the scenery outside the window is beautiful, at a glance, there are green waters and artificial hills everywhere.

Seeing this scene for the first time, Liao Yuan inexplicably thought of the scene of Daiyu burying flowers in "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is full of poetic flavor.

In early summer, all kinds of flowers and branches in the yard are blooming, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, some petals blown by the wind are floating on the water, fish are shuttled in the water, someone is waving gently on the attic, and some fish feeding can be seen in the sky As it fell down, the water rippled.

Liao Yuan clearly saw a fat carp jumping out of the water.

Unfortunately, there is no Longmen.

Have a heart.

The teahouse is a private club and is not open to the public. After inquiring for a while, Liao Yuan reported his name. After waiting for a while, the waiter came to lead him to the designated box.

"Mr. Liao."

Inside the private room, Zhang Chao introduced to Liao Yuan courteously: "This is my uncle, the most famous director in the film industry today. In order to meet you, I came all the way from the west, which shows how much my uncle attaches great importance to your piece of music."

Liao Yuan looked at Zhang Yichi. Judging from the published information, Zhang Yichi was over half a century old.

But the other party was right in front of him. If he ignored the short black and white hair, Liao Yuan felt that the other party was probably only a middle-aged man in his 40s in terms of energy and dress.

Zhang Yichi stood up, shook hands with Liao Yuan with a smile on his face, invited Liao Yuan to take a seat, and asked kindly: "I invited many composers to compose the music for "Han Wu Da Di", but all ended in failure. It satisfies me, but I never thought that it was easily created by Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao is really young and promising."

Liao Yuan was taken aback by Zhang Yichi's polite way of speaking, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "It's as long as Director Zhang likes it."

Zhang Yichi said with a smile: "I like it, I like it very much. But "Han Wu Da Di" is a historical drama after all, and the soundtrack is a bit monotonous if only piano music is added. If Mr. Liao has time, I still hope that you can make this song yourself The piece is changed to a concerto, and more instruments are added, which can also reflect a more majestic atmosphere."

""Exodus" itself is a concerto, and the essence of the whole piece needs to be played by a ensemble. The recording conditions were limited, so it is understandable to change it to a concerto."

Liao Yuan promised: "I will send you the complete score when I go back."

"I see."

Zhang Yichi said with satisfaction: "That really couldn't be better."

After finishing his speech, he personally washed and made tea for Liao Yuan, "I heard Zhang Chao said that you need a Steinway piano urgently?"

Liao Yuan nodded immediately after hearing the words, "Yes."

"Then how much Steinway do you think "Exodus" is worth?" Zhang Yichi asked.

Liao Yuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yichi waved his hand: "You don't need to think too much, I just really like this piece of music, so I'm curious, how much is this piece of music worth in your heart, wouldn't it be beautiful if the heroes see the same thing?"

At this time, under Zhang Yichi's order, Zhang Chao took out two document bags from his briefcase and handed them to Liao Yuan and Zhang Yichi respectively.

"This is a contract. Except for the promotional activities related to "Han Wu Da Di", "Exodus" will not be used for other commercial purposes. If it is used, it will be notified to you in advance and an additional fee will be paid."

Zhang Yichi pointed to a string of numbers on the contract: "I originally only thought of 100 million, but after I heard about your request at Zhang Chao, I added some more, and the total is 140 million, which is just enough for you." To buy an S-277 Steinway piano, if you have no questions, just sign here, fill in your ID number and bank card number, and I will ask the crew to transfer the money to you in the afternoon."

Liao Yuan nodded, and after carefully checking the content of the contract, he signed his name readily.

Is "Exodus" worth 140 million?

It can only be said that the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. In the eyes of those who really seek, it is not too much to add ten times, but on the contrary, it is worthless.

Simply put, identifying the market is very important.

In his previous life, Liao Yuan would more or less throw out some classic songs for his friends in the circle to sing in view of the sophistication of the world.

But even for friends, the starting price is in the millions.

In this, in addition to the quality of the song itself, it also carries the popularity effect of Liao Yuan itself.

If such a song can make the singer's album sell well, then its value will far exceed 100 million.

For Liao Yuan in his previous life, is it more than 100 million?Certainly not much, not even worth mentioning.

Because in terms of social status alone, Liao Yuan, who has debuted for ten years, is not far behind even compared with some popular young fresh meat.

As far as participating in a large-scale inspirational professional music review program is concerned, Liao Yuan can get an appearance fee worth 210 million for each program during his tenure as a commentary instructor.

After a whole season of the show, Liao Yuan can easily get 5000 million yuan in remuneration, which, in addition to the official broadcast of the show, also includes the behind-the-scenes audition fee.

Therefore, when faced with the copyright fee of 140 million, Liao Yuan did not show any ecstatic appearance. Even though Zhang Yichi seriously said that the other 43 was an "extra gift", Liao Yuan still looked calm.

This also made Zhang Yichi appreciate Liao Yuan even more.

As a director, he naturally has his own set of standards for appraising acting skills. He can tell that Liao Yuan really doesn't pay attention to the more than 100 million yuan.

Zhang Yichi couldn't help but recall the ecstasy he felt when he first got the box office share. Compared with Liao Yuan's attitude of being neither arrogant nor impetuous, and his modesty, it really is a judgment call.

Afterwards, Liao Yuan chatted with Zhang Yichi for a long time, during which time they agreed on the name of the music.

The melody of "Exodus" is indeed majestic, sad and boundless, in line with the picture imagined by Zhang Yichi, but the name "Exodus" is somewhat inconsistent with "Hanwu Emperor", so after the discussion, the music It was finally named "Exodus from the Western Regions".

After leaving the teahouse, Liao Yuan did not rush back to the company, but came to Steinway Music Store again according to Zhang Chao's request.

This time, he didn't come to rent a piano.

"Mr. Liao..."

Miao Bizhu looked at the man who filled out the "S-277 Purchase Confirmation Form" seriously, and his voice trembled a little: "You... really want to buy S-277?"

Liao Yuan raised his head: "Otherwise?"

Miao Bizhu took a deep breath. Under Liao Yuan's gaze, she only felt blushing and heart-warming, so she coughed and reminded in a low voice: "This piano is worth 140, it's really too expensive, don't you Think about it?"

Liao Yuan smiled: "I haven't seen any sales consultant push customers away!"

"No, no." Miao Bizhu hurriedly waved her hands, "I'm just thinking about you."

Liao Yuan didn't raise his head, and continued to fill out the subscription form: "Then do you think I can't afford it?"

"That's not the case. The store manager has already called and ordered him to pay the deposit... Well, I won't mention it..."

Miao Bizhu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally sighed secretly: "Maybe this is the boss!"

At this time, Liao Yuan's subscription form was also filled out. He closed the cap of his pen and handed the subscription form to Miao Bizhu: "When it arrives, send it here."

　My code word is relatively slow, please be patient...
