Chapter 30 Martial Arts Drama Promotional Song
Lin Zhibai called Jiang Cheng that night and received the news that the manuscript of "The Human Chair" had been successfully completed.
“This story will be published in Nathan Bookstore’s Mystery and Suspense Magazine on the 1st of next month.”
"knew."
Lin Zhibai was not surprised. He just reminded Aunt Liu, who was busy with dinner, to remember to buy herself a copy of "Mystery and Suspense" early next month.
“In addition, our Kunpeng Studio has been registered.”
Jiang Chengdao: “According to the requirements of relevant departments, we also need an office space.”
“Then let’s rent an office building.”
Lin Zhibai said: "You can choose the location, but it shouldn't be too far from my residence. Just ask me to reimburse you for the cost of renting the venue."
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhibai was about to go upstairs when the doorbell outside suddenly rang.
Lin Zhibai opened the door.
Sister Lin Xi’s delicate face appeared outside the door: “Hello, my dear brother.”
Lin Zhibai also smiled.
Lin Xi took a general tour after entering, and then praised: "This place is not bad, it is very suitable for hiding a beauty in a golden house."
Said.
Lin Xi sat on the sofa in the living room: "I'm coming to see you this time, and I have a work-related matter to talk to you about."
Lin Zhibai asked: "What's the matter?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the music customization order I mentioned to you before?"
“Is there any work?”
Lin Zhibai's heart moved.
Lin Xi nodded and said: "This is a small list that was just assigned to Music Department Thirteen today. A certain martial arts drama needs an ancient style promotional song. Several composers in the department are interested. The total remuneration is 7 million. , of course before the split, I thought you might as well give it a try, but Party A’s time is a little tight, and they will need it next month.”
Seven million orders?
Lin Zhibai asked: "How will the custom order be divided into shares?"
Lin Xi pondered: "Each custom order requires an independent contract to be signed. Considering that you have performed well in the past two months, I can probably help you get 20%. In other words, if you can take the order, you will get it. Probably 1.4 million."
“Only more than one million?”
Lin Zhibai couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
I normally make more than this amount by releasing a song.
Lin Xi laughed: "I'm not sure whether I can afford it, but you still dislike it. The main reason is that my sister's department performance ranking is not high, so I can only get orders of this level at the moment. In addition, the reward of this order is not really high." No, you must know that custom orders are additional income and do not conflict with your download share."
"Um."
Lin Zhibai nodded.
The advantage of customized orders is that you can make money from both ends.
Naturally, one end is to earn money from Party A, and the other end is to earn money from downloads. If a movie or TV series becomes popular, it can also drive the popularity of the song. There are even some songs that are of average quality, but become popular because of the popularity of the movie and TV series. Very hot.
However, custom songs also have disadvantages.
Because custom orders are typical proposition compositions.
Composers must strictly follow a certain limited theme to compose, such as dancing in shackles and unable to express themselves freely.
Of course this is not a big problem for Lin Zhibai.
At this time, Lin Xi said again: "There is another advantage of the custom order. If you succeed this time, the share of the next custom order can be increased. Of course, how much the increase can be depends on the next custom order. What level? In short, it won’t be a particularly big improvement.”
“Is that so?”
Lin Xi analyzed it for her younger brother: "The reason why Party A approached Shinhwa was actually because of Shinhwa's song promotion channels. It's true that the composer can write songs, but he can't provide publicity help. These are also included in Included in the price of the custom order.”
"Um."
Lin Zhibai nodded, Hei was justified.
Lin Xi seemed to have pointed out: "So many composers are opening vests to accept private orders, including composers in our department who are doing the same..."
Taking private orders?
Lin Zhibai pursed his lips lightly.
Seems like a good way to make money?
Lin Xi stared at his younger brother: "Composers in the industry have basically received private orders. This kind of thing happens so often that it has become an unspoken rule in the industry."
“So how do you do it specifically?”
Lin Zhibai explained: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."
Lin Xi rolled her eyes: "Open a name that no one knows, secretly write songs for other companies, use your reputation as a big number, and get a higher share! Generally speaking, the more powerful the songwriter, the more names he has, especially Those famous Qu dads at least have a few vests in hand."
There was a pause.
Lin Xi curled her lips and said, "I don't know who started this trend of randomly opening a bunch of vests."
"Is it okay to wear a vest?" Lin Zhibai's eyes were burning.
“It’s best to change the account to someone else’s.” Lin Xi reminded her seemingly casually.
"sister."
Lin Zhibai said seriously: "I'm just curious."
Lin Xi smiled half-heartedly: "Who said you're not?"
The two siblings looked at each other, and after a moment they burst out laughing at the same time.
“My stupid brother.”
Lin Xi patted Lin Zhibai on the shoulder: "Not everyone can receive private orders. If you are qualified, someone will naturally contact you. If no one contacts you privately, it means that your resume, Bai Di, is not beautiful enough." , let’s continue talking about custom orders, are you interested?”
Lin Zhibai was about to think about it.
After all, customizing songs consumes more reputation than drawing a lottery.
Who knew that the system suddenly prompted: "Congratulations to the host for triggering a new mission."
【Task name: Customized order】
tledie: As an excellent composer, you must not only be able to compete for the top spot in the season rankings, but also have the ability to write good proposition compositions. Please accept the custom order to prove your ability to write proposition compositions! 】
Lin Zhibai: “…”
Can I miss the opportunity to get skill points?
Lin Zhibai directly accepted the task, "You start talking."
Lin Xi nodded: "First of all, you need to know that the requirements for custom orders are open to the public within the department, which means that all the composers of the Thirteenth Division of Shinhwa Music can accept this order. Whoever's song is favored by Party A will count. Whose, you can understand that there is competition for jobs, so efficiency and quality are both important.”
Follow.
Lin Xi introduced the content of Party A's martial arts drama: "At the end of the Warring States Period, Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin. The First Emperor was furious and ordered the Prime Minister to investigate to the end and find out who else in the world was related to Jing Ke. They must be beheaded. As a result, there was a **** storm in the world..."
At the end of the Warring States Period?
Martial arts background?
Listening to her sister Lin Xi’s story, Lin Zhibai blinked.
This TV series needs a promotional song, and you don’t seem to have many choices?
