I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 16: I took it
Chen Feng is not dumb, of course he can see Zhong Lei's true thoughts.
She loves this song and wants to sing it.
It is not the kind of singing that sings a demo, but the kind of singing that interprets the true meaning of the song with her own understanding as the real singer of the song.
Because this song was written based on her own state of mind.
After reading it, this song has a fatal attraction to her like a bond.
Therefore, Zhonglei kept forcing a smile while eating, duplicitous congratulations.
She was so lost that when Chen Feng said he wanted to share her money, she was so easily provoked.
Unconsciously, Chen Feng pondered for an hour in the room, looked down at his watch, it was already nine o'clock in the night.
He made a decision.
Chen Feng took out his phone and found Zheng Rou's number.
"Sister Rou, I'm sorry to disturb you."
The opposite Zheng Rou seemed to be eating, and she said vaguely, "What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to reply tomorrow?"
"It's such a soft sister, the song "Boring"..."
"Not for sale, right?"
"Ah? How did you know."
"Weiwei said it. If you don't agree on the spot, it's probably not for sale. And Weiwei also said, you are going to let the girl who sang the demo to sing, right?"
He was soft-hearted and short-handed. Others offered help, but he rejected the kindness of others. Now that his thoughts were exposed on the spot, Chen Feng was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"It's okay, you don't have to mind. Weiwei said that collecting songs is not a simple matter of buying and selling goods, but more importantly, fate. Just like a man and a woman fall in love, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are beautiful, the important thing is to fit each other. Just like you Honey, the arsenic of the other."
"While listening to the demo, Wei Wei felt that the owner of the voice was the most suitable person for this song, and Chen Li was only the second best choice."
"I believe you feel this way after listening to it. Of course, since we promised you to help you, we naturally can't break our promises, so we didn't take the initiative to mention it to you. Now that you realize it yourself, of course it's best."
"Chen Feng, let me tell you one more thing. Weiwei also said that if you finally decide to sell the song to Chen Li, she will actually be very disappointed in you. Because this shows that you are only good at writing, but not good at writing. He's good at finding the best sound for his work."
"Okay, I'm still shooting the MV with Weiwei outside at the moment, so I'll hang up first. I'll reply as soon as possible to Chen Li. This is a common phenomenon in the industry, so you don't have to worry about it. burden."
After hanging up, Chen Feng was silent for a long time.
He really didn't expect that Lu Wei was clearly Zhong Lei's defeat, and his sense of music was so powerful.
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Wei seems to have only lost to Zhong Lei in this day and age.
Looking at Lu Wei's life achievements, if there is not a contemporaneous Zhong Lei who is too dazzling, she should be the highest-achieving female singer in the past few decades.
You can't underestimate anyone.
Chen Feng took a deep breath, went upstairs, and knocked on the door.
Zhong Lei ignored him.
Chen Feng shouted outside the door: "I just replied to the other party, I will not sell this song. I want to sing it for you."
"What!"
Zhong Lei suddenly opened the door, "Are you crazy?"
It turned out that she had been standing at the door.
Chen Feng shook his head, "Not crazy, very sober."
"Have you taken the wrong medicine? Chen Li is very popular recently. Do you know what it means to you if your song is successfully sold to Chen Li? As long as you work hard, you will receive a steady stream of invitations to date."
"I know, but it doesn't matter."
"I'm a completely unknown rookie. It's a waste for me to sing this song, and it won't help you at all. Besides, I can't afford it."
Chen Feng shook his head, "If a song is popular, you will be popular, and so will I. Although the popularity of a song has a certain relationship with the singer's own reputation, it is not the decisive factor. What is more important is the song. What is the quality of yourself? In my opinion, you are the most suitable singer for this song. Don't you have confidence in yourself? Do you really think that the effect of your singing is not as good as Chen Li? When others are more popular than you, you feel inferior You can only look up to others? Are you doubting yourself? What gave you the courage to drop out of school in the first place? Isn't it absolute confidence?"
Chen Feng threw out several questions one after another, making Zhong Lei silent.
Every question is like a whip that beats her soul, and it is both painful and deep in her heart.
It was like a sharp long sword, constantly cutting open the camouflage, stinging her fiercely.
Zhong Lei took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Do you really think so?"
She was shaken.
"Well, I already felt that way when I heard you practice songs."
"Thank you for your recognition, but now I really can't get 200,000. Also, even if I buy your song, I can't make it."
Chen Feng thought for a while, "You can sing, we will do it ourselves, we will only make singles. Then we will publish it on the platform and follow the paid download route."
Zhong Lei shook her head.
"This is unrealistic. Today's listeners only listen to songs for free, and the habit of paying has not yet been cultivated. Unless they are loyal and hardcore, few people will pay to download. Even well-known artists have new songs for free membership, not to mention the A single from a pure newcomer, no one will give money."
Chen Feng shook his head, "If others can't do it, it doesn't mean you can't."
In fact, five years later, "Borrow", as Zhong Lei's debut work, was recorded by herself, posted on the platform, and quickly spread virally. She transformed quickly.
Of course, at that time, many people thought that she was just a short-lived Internet singer, but no one expected that she was actually a long-term successor and turned into a dragon as soon as she entered the situation.
Before she became popular, Zhong Lei herself didn't think too much about it.
She was just not reconciled at the time, she went all out to fight for the last time, and she finally succeeded.
Now Chen Feng has brought this time forward by a few years. She has not experienced so much, and has not reached the point where she is completely exhausted. Naturally, she has more concerns about throwing mice at risk.
Sure enough, Zhong Lei asked again blankly: "How much do you believe in my strength? Have you ever heard me sing a complete song?"
Chen Feng was immediately alert, and he was about to reveal his secrets.
He simply smiled mysteriously and pointed to his head, "Intuition. My intuition tells me that this is the best answer. If you don't try it, how will you know the result? We also use the free model, according to the flow rate. Divide it."
"The percentage of traffic share is very low. You can't earn 200,000 from this."
Zhong Lei seriously thought about the feasibility of Chen Feng's proposal for a moment, and finally said.
Chen Feng shook his head freely, "Fame is money. I sing for you, the copyright of this song is still mine. No matter how low the platform share is, as long as the song becomes popular, it has enough fame. I will next time. Selling a song~IndoMTL.com~ is not worth 200,000 yuan. Afterwards, whether you or someone else wants to use this song for commercial performances, or perform in any medium, you have to pay me."
"But if I sell it to Chen Li, the copyright will not be mine. I'm not sure whether she will give me a signature, and I won't share in the subsequent income. I will let you sing, but the consideration is actually more long-term. ."
In order to convince Zhong Lei to let go of her grudge, Chen Feng found 10,000 reasons for himself to convince her.
She really believed, "Is this your real plan?"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "It's okay if you want to understand it this way."
After negotiating, the two acted immediately and gathered together to carefully count.
Chen Feng didn't know the specifics very well, so I let her figure it out.
Zhong Lei calculated, "I only have a deposit of 50,000 yuan. But I still need to spend more than 100,000 yuan to find someone to arrange the music. The guitar accompaniment is definitely not enough. Then the accompaniment production and the mastering in the studio are recorded. It will also cost about 100,000. In total, it will cost 200,000 to make a base."
Chen Feng interrupted her, "I don't need to arrange the music. I have finished it. I have the complete score here."
"Huh?" Zhong Lei was dumbfounded, "How many musical instruments are there in total?"
Chen Feng began to break his fingers, "Guitar, bass, drum set, piano, chime, organ, harmonica... 12 kinds."
The sound of hissing and gasping for breath came and went in the room. Zhong Lei looked up and down Chen Feng with extremely suspicious eyes to make sure that he was not talking nonsense.
"You did it all?"
Chen Feng shamelessly nodded, "Yes."
"You are really not the second generation of a musical family, and you have never learned it before."
Chen Feng asked back, "Why should I brag with you?"
Zhong Lei turned her face away, "I've taken it."
