Su Yu had just returned to his workstation, and before he could even type out an hour's worth of his new book, Li Dayue appeared before Su Yu like a whirlwind.
"Su Yu, we've got a big one! Chen Gewang, The King of Singers from Xiangjiang, has sent a song request, specifically asking you to write a song! Do you have any suitable stock for Chen Gewang? Chen Gewang's status in the cantonese region is quite high; if he sings your song, it will be very helpful for you to open up the cantonese market."
Li Dayue deliberately ignored the fact that Su Yu was writing a novel and directly stated his purpose.
What a joke! At Li Dayue's level, he naturally knew Su Yu's other identity.
Moreover, Director Wang Tianfeng had specifically instructed him not to interfere with Su Yu's creative process!
This creative process naturally included writing.
After all, the company's decision to buy the copyright for "amorous swordsman ruthless sword" and invest over 100 million yuan in its film and television adaptation was announced directly this morning.
As soon as this news spread, its popularity soared like a rocket, directly reaching the top three hot searches on Blue Star China's Tribe.
Of course, there was naturally the result of Tianxing Entertainment's covert promotion, but there was also active promotion from many fans of "little li flying dagger."
When they first heard the news, the book fans were both happy and worried.
They were happy because their beloved novel was about to be adapted into a film, and they were worried that Tianxing Entertainment would ruin the original!
However, Wang Tianfeng seemed to have anticipated this point. Just as the online discussion reached its peak, Tianxing Entertainment announced again that the author of the novel, Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng, would personally undertake the adaptation and participate in the casting!
Well, as soon as such news came out, it directly ignited the enthusiasm of the vast number of book friends.
Since the original author had been invited out by Tianxing Entertainment, their book friends could truly rest assured.
At least they didn't believe that Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng, as the author, would destroy his own work for the sake of making quick money!
So today, the Tribe social platform was all about the film and television adaptation, but Su Yu, who hadn't registered for Tribe, was still completely unaware at this time.
If he were to look at his system's prestige value now, he would definitely be startled.
Because countless netizens were attracted by this unprecedented popularity and flocked to Shengshi Fenghua Website, starting to get hooked on "amorous swordsman ruthless sword."
And at this moment, to be frank, everyone on the entire "little li flying dagger" project was eagerly awaiting Su Yu's script.
Li Dayue naturally didn't dare to disturb Su Yu's creative progress.
But there are priorities, aren't there?
At least in Li Dayue's opinion, Chen Yixun, The King of Singers's song request, was a relatively significant matter.
"Chen Yixun, The King of Singers from Xiangjiang?" Su Yu showed no embarrassment at being caught; instead, he asked with a surprised expression.
"That's right, it's Chen Yixun. How about it, do you have any stock suitable for Chen Gewang?" Li Dayue deliberately emphasized the words "stock."
"I do, and it's a pretty good cantonese song, but I don't really want to give it to Chen Gewang! By the way, Director, if I agree to the song request, how much will I get in terms of a split?" Su Yu shrugged, saying words that almost made Li Dayue faint from frustration.
"The 1.5 million performance rights can be discussed, as that's your selling price for the song. But as for a fifty-fifty split, you can forget about it; he's The King of Singers from Xiangjiang after all! Even if Chen Gewang himself agreed, his management company wouldn't approve. The company might only be able to negotiate a four-six split, or even most likely a three-seven split."
Li Dayue felt that Su Yu's businesslike demeanor this morning wasn't an act; this guy genuinely cared about the revenue split!
And in that case, perhaps this collaboration with Chen Gewang was going to fall through.
"My songs have a market even if The King of Singers doesn't sing them, okay? Who cares who I sell them to? Right now, my songs only sell for 1.5 million, not because they're only worth that much, but because my industry standing is still too low! The more I sell now, the more I lose! Director, just tell the other party my industry price directly. If they think it's too expensive, then forget it."
Su Yu spoke his thoughts indifferently, feeling that it was necessary for Li Dayue to know this idea.
Otherwise, if this guy kept asking him to write songs every few days, he would truly suffer a huge loss.
His next task still had a year to go, so Su Yu was not in a hurry to release songs quickly.
Ideally, Su Yu only planned to release one or two songs a month to maintain and solidify his popularity as a lyricist and composer.
After all, this was no longer the time when he was unknown; his reputation as a lyricist and composer had already been established.
He would increase the output of songs to the outside world after he achieved three consecutive monthly chart championships and his status as a lyricist and composer was elevated to senior lyricist and composer.
"Alright then, you make your own decisions!" Li Dayue felt like he had been rebuffed, but he really had no way to deal with Su Yu.
Aside from Wang Tianfeng's instructions, Su Yu's ambiguous relationship with Han Jiangxue alone made him hesitant to be too harsh on Su Yu.
How could this be a newcomer in the lyrics and composition department? He was clearly a true boss!
However, Su Yu's talent in lyrics and composition was still so astonishing that Li Dayue felt that even he, a golden lyricist and composer, was too old to wield a knife in front of him.
And Su Yu, meanwhile, continued to rapidly tap on the keyboard, completely immersed in the plot of "blood sea drifting fragrance."
As Li Dayue expected, Chen Gewang's management company indeed did not agree to the fifty-fifty split condition.
They would rather pay Su Yu an exorbitant 3 million yuan for the song request than accept a fifty-fifty split of the song's revenue, and their highest offer for Su Yu was a three-seven split contract.
This made Li Dayue feel it was a bit excessive! Three-seven split? What do you think our little BOSS in Tianxing's lyrics and composition department is? A mid-level lyricist and composer?
Looking at Su Yu, who was still engrossed in typing, Li Dayue simply said nothing. He knew from Su Yu's attitude that he truly didn't care whether the song could be sold or not.
And time quietly passed for five days in Su Yu's fulfilling writing endeavor, bringing them to July 27th, the broadcast date of the fourth episode of "The King of Singers."
During these five days, Han Jiangxue went to Hunan TV on Tuesday to record the variety show. As for the results of the song "torment"? Han Jiangxue still chose to keep it a secret from Su Yu.
However, Su Yu knew the outcome from the smiles of Sister Ling and Sun Xiaoxiao.
And with Han Jiangxue's stunning performance of "the wind rises" in the third episode of "The King of Singers," the fourth episode of the variety show today attracted a large number of viewers and netizens who tuned in on time from the very beginning.
Because they all wanted to know if their Jiangxue Goddess would continue to collaborate with Su Yu in this episode and once again bring them a classic pop song.
