Chapter 99 0098: Let’s Do Business

"Where is Qu Zhengde?"

"Boss Shao, Director Qu is editing the film in the production department."

"Hasn't he finished editing the film long ago? He doesn't do his job all day, what kind of film is he editing?"

"..."

...

Shao Shiqian looked angry and went to the production department angrily.

He is the boss of Xinli Film and Television Company, which mainly invests in, produces and produces movies and TV series.

A few minutes later, Shao Shiqian came to the production department and pushed the door directly into the post-production room.

Qu Zhengde, who was editing the film, was too immersed in it and didn't notice anyone coming in.

"Old Qu!"

Qu Zhengde was startled by the sudden voice, turned around and said, "Mr. Shao, why are you here?"

Shao Shiqian stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Have you found the opening and ending songs of "The Path of Love"?"

When Qu Zhengde heard that he came for this matter, he said with a bitter face, "Not yet... not yet."

Shao Shiqian snorted and said, "The show has been postponed for two months, and this little thing has not been resolved. You still have the mood to come here to edit the film? What are you editing? It's already been edited!"

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Facing his anger, Qu Zhengde has always been submissive and said, "I'm thinking about editing the film to be more exciting, so that it can attract more audiences."

Originally, their company's "The Path of Love" was to be broadcast in early July, but seeing that several major first-line satellite TV stations were going to compete in this year's summer season, they changed the launch date.

With more time, the selection of the opening and ending songs slowed down. However, two months have passed and it is still not done.

Tell me, how can Shao Shiqian not be angry?

And if it is not released, it will be another competitive Spring Festival period, and it may be postponed again.

Shao Shiqian's anger has subsided a lot, and his tone is a few degrees lower: "Hurry up and open Bilibili, and then click on the Qixi Love Song Contest video."

Qu Zhengde was confused and didn't know what he was going to do, but he did it.

Shao Shiqian waited for him to finish the operation before saying: "Listen to the two songs at 26 minutes and 234 minutes to see if they can be used as the opening and ending songs of the drama "The Stranger is Like Jade"."

Qu Zhengde then understood the actual purpose of his coming here, and it was accurate to the minute. It seems that he has a goal.

26 minutes, "A Glimpse of Beauty"...

234 minutes, "Liangliang"...

...

When the first song was finished, Qu Zhengde's expression changed, and when the second song was finished, he stood up directly.

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling!" Qu Zhengde's face was full of excitement and excitement, and he said, "Mr. Shao, it's a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!"

"The Jade on the Road" is a fairy tale drama, telling the story of the thousand-year-old grievances and hatreds between the demon slayer and the nine-tailed fox.

"A Glimpse of Beauty" is not about the encounter, acquaintance, and love between the hero and the heroine, a dance under the willow, as graceful as a startling beauty, a dreamlike heart, a picturesque landscape, and a smile full of love.

"Liangliang" is not about the thousand-year-long grievances and hatreds between the demon slayer and the nine-tailed fox, the opposition between good and evil, the different paths of humans and demons, and too much helplessness and emotion in the long years.

Yes, it's so right!

The more Qu Zhengde listened to the two songs, the more he liked them. He then laughed and said, "Mr. Shao, you have a good eye."

Shao Shiqian smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about this later. Go to Hangzhou and get these two songs."

Qu Zhengde calmed down after hearing this and said, "Mr. Shao, I just saw that the composer seems to be Jiang Ge. Is he the Jiang Ge from Huafeng?"

Shao Shiqian nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Qu Zhengde said, "Huafeng also makes movies and TV series. Will these two songs be sold?"

Shao Shiqian pondered and said "I haven't heard of any dramas they are filming recently. The previous "Little Fish and Flower" didn't use their own songs. Besides, although Huafeng's crisis has eased, it still needs money, so it is very likely to sell." Qu Zhengde thought so first, and said, "Okay, I'll book a ticket now." As we all know, the biggest feature of TV dramas is that there are a lot of music. Basically, a TV drama runs through music from beginning to end. Music plays a good role in setting off the plot. TV drama music plays a very important role in TV dramas. What the characters think in their hearts, the joy or sadness of the characters, the mood of the plot... Music is to reveal the psychological activities and emotional changes of the characters in the play to the audience through musical language, and also to reveal the emotional color expressed in the TV drama to the audience, that is, the main theme or main tone, which is a very important means to highlight and deepen the theme. This is also the reason why the Golden Rooster Award and the Golden Eagle Award, the two most authoritative and influential awards ceremonies for domestic TV dramas and movies, have established the "Best Original Music Award". However. A good song suitable for the opening and ending songs is hard to come by. When Qu Zhengde met some old acquaintances and old rivals at the headquarters of Huafeng Media, he understood the meaning of these words even more.

"Old Qu, long time no see, how are you these days?"

"It's okay, you come here..."

"Same as you."

"Do you know the purpose of my visit?"

"Is it hard to guess? Your company's "The Stranger Like Jade" is about to be released."

"Thank you for your concern."

...

Qu Zhengde is very tight-lipped, even if others see through him, he still won't admit it.

His words are not as tough as usual, but he feels bad in his heart. Once more people compete, it means that they will raise each other's prices. However, their company is not large in scale, has average strength, and the quality of the drama is also slightly worse. Otherwise, it will not be possible. The launch date will be changed.

Therefore, you won’t spend a lot of money on the opening and ending songs.

After waiting in the reception room for about a quarter of an hour, Hu Xiao came over and took Qu Zhengde to Jiang Ge's office.

After a brief introduction, Qu Zhengde said straight to the point: "Dr. Jiang, I don't know that the copyrights of the two songs "Jinghong Side" and "Liangliang" sung by your company's singer at the Chinese Valentine's Day love song party at Station B last night were sold. No?"

Jiang Ge had just met four people in a row, and this was the fifth. They were all from film and television companies, and they all had the same purpose. When Qu Zhengde asked this, he naturally understood and said, "It's not sold yet."

Qu Zhengde secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had to negotiate without selling, and said: "It's like this. Our company has a TV series. We have been looking for the opening and ending songs for more than several months, but we have never found a suitable one. For this reason, we have changed it many times. On the launch date, last night our president heard the two songs "Jinghong Side" and "Liangliang" during the live broadcast of the Chinese Valentine's Day Love Song Party at Station B. He was shocked on the spot and immediately came to me and told me to buy these two songs. song."

People don’t always say their best, and they only listen to their words. Jiang Ge, a newbie in the workplace, doesn’t like to guess the other person’s psychology, but likes to be straightforward. He immediately said: “Your company’s quotation...”

Qu Zhengde discussed two plans with Shao Shiqian before he came, but here, the situation changed and it was no longer useful. He had to improvise and said: "Two songs together, exclusive license is 800,000, and non-exclusive license is 150,000."
