Chapter 90 Dating
After a little inner struggle, Li Luo finally answered the phone.
Yan Zhusheng on the other end of the phone naturally didn't know Li Luo's current situation, so he just said to himself: "I have found out the situation."
"Didn't I tell you before? I asked an arranger teacher to arrange the music. She is my mother's friend and colleague."
"Later, I recorded a version of 'Annual Rings' for her to listen to and see if there were any problems. It just so happened that my mother and the company executives listened to it."
"Because you said try not to tell outsiders that you wrote the song, so I didn't tell anyone who wrote it."
"My mom and her friends thought I wrote it. The senior executive thought the song was good and the company happened to be planning a theme song for a TV series, so she recommended it to him."
"That's about it. The music has been tentatively decided. There will be five songs in total. They will be used as theme songs, ending songs, and background music for the plot interludes."
"Your song has been chosen, but it has not yet been confirmed whether it will be the theme song or something else."
"Of course, the copyright is in your hands. In the end, whether you agree or not is up to you."
Yan Zhusheng relayed the news she had gotten from Aunt Luo Fei verbatim, and then asked, "Now that the preliminary results are out, there is definitely no problem with the copyright of those songs, but you haven't asked in advance."
"Before, because everyone thought it was my song, my mom didn't ask too much about it. She knew I didn't care much about it."
"But if it's you, I think it's better to ask in advance. If you don't agree, ask them to change the song."
"What do you think?"
Li Luo listened quietly, and temporarily put aside the fact that Yan Zhusheng already knew that he was writing a book.
He thought about it carefully, and then asked curiously: "If you agree, what is the specific transaction? How about the price?"
"The crew's total budget for songs is about 20 yuan," Yan Zhusheng said honestly, "If it's chosen as the theme song, it should get more, and the remaining four songs will get less."
After all, none of them are famous creators, and the drama "Yao Chi Fairy Fate" itself is not a big production.
All the money was spent on inviting the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist is a popular young actor recently, and the female protagonist is also one of the famous young actresses in recent years.
Before the show started, the popularity had already reached its peak among fans.
But too much money was spent on actors, so they naturally tried to save wherever possible in other areas.
As for the songs, it is impossible to find those more famous people in the industry to take charge.
After all, once a song passes through their hands, it is common for it to cost 20 yuan for one song, let alone 50 yuan for five songs.
So in Li Luo's opinion, the current price is quite reasonable.
"Are you going to buy out all the copyrights of the song?" Li Luo suddenly thought of a question and asked again.
"I don't really understand this." Yan Zhusheng frowned, then said, "But it shouldn't be full copyright. I can ask for you."
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Luo said, "I don't have any problems. If they need, we can discuss it in detail."
"Oh, okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Then I'll hang up first. I'll let you know if there's any follow-up news."
"Hey wait." Li Luo said subconsciously, wanting to ask Yan Zhusheng about reading his book.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
"What's the matter?" Yan Zhusheng asked puzzledly.
"It's okay..." Li Luo twitched his lips, and after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. "Hang up, I'll contact you later."
Putting the phone back on the table, Li Luo sighed. Although the song "Annual Rings" was picked up by the crew by chance, he was in a good mood to be able to make some money by selling the copyright.
but……
He took another look at Shengsheng Buxi's comments in the comment section, as well as a bunch of messages from readers below.
[Is this the one who sang "Annual Rings"? ]
[Tsk tsk, if you say there is no adultery, why do I not believe it? ]
[Miss, have you met Chongran offline? If you have time, please send some blades to him for us]
[Hmm? Mo Party? Although I like your "Annual Rings", Shen Dongdong is the best! Qingmei is the best! ]
[Look down on me, the Yue Party? Jiang Mingyue is the best in the world! The ultimate answer is the older one! How can a younger sister be as attractive as an older sister? ]
[You guys don't understand this, right? What if Mo Qinghan is Sheng Sheng Buxi herself? Look, she has even rewarded the leader. ]
Li Luo: “…”
I have to say, these readers are really good at making blind guesses.
The key is that sometimes you can guess right for them.
After all, Li Luo had not known many girls in his previous life. The three girls who had the greatest influence on his life were undoubtedly Ying Chanxi and the other three.
So much so that when portraying the heroine, there will be more or less shadows of these three people.
For example, the character Mo Qinghan mentioned by Yan Zhusheng is a young singing queen who is passionate about music in the book.
This is also the opening of Li Luo's book. When the protagonist travels through time, he appears at a certain diva's concert.
She is the first heroine to appear in this book.
They provided a lot of help to the protagonist in his music career, and they became important music friends to each other.
Hmm... thinking about it this way, Li Luo knew why Yan Zhusheng liked this role.
And he even gave a reward to the leader... Li Luo hadn't noticed it before.
So, out of the 12,000 yuan in royalties he received this month, 500 yuan was given by Yan Zhusheng.
But... when he thought about the contents of the book being read by Yan Zhusheng, Li Luo suddenly felt uncomfortable. Especially if he wrote some plots between Mo Qinghan and the protagonist that readers would like to see, and thought that Yan Zhusheng would also see it, Li Luo got goose bumps.
It's so fucking embarrassing!
However, since Yan Zhusheng did not expose his author identity in person, Li Luo tacitly pretended not to notice.
Just pretend you don’t know.
It is better to cover one's ears and steal the bell than to discuss the plot of the novel with him in person later.
No wonder Yan Zhusheng was in low spirits for several days in the second week of school. It turned out that he stayed up late to secretly read his novel.
When he thought of this, Li Luo's mouth twitched.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Ying Chanxi poked his head in from outside and said to Li Luo inside, "It's almost eleven o'clock! Go out for a walk with me!"
"Got it." Li Luo turned off the computer and got up to clean up. "I'll be right there. You should get ready too."
"OK~"
A few minutes later.
Li Luo changed into a loose sportswear, while Ying Chanxi wore a pink and blue dress and a wide-brimmed sun hat on her head, looking youthful and beautiful.
"We're not going anywhere, why are you dressing up so nicely?"
"What do you care?" Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at him, put on her white sandals, and walked out of the house with a clatter. "Hurry up, don't dawdle."
Li Luo followed behind, took the key, walked out of the house, got on the elevator, turned his head and took a closer look at Ying Chanxi's profile.
Ying Chanxi was startled by his sudden approach, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Li Luo shook his head and asked curiously, "You put on makeup?"
"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi blinked and looked away guiltily, "I just put on a little foundation."
"I think she even put on lipstick."
"Just a little!"
"When did you buy the cosmetics?" Li Luo was a little surprised.
To be honest, Li Luo hasn't seen Ying Chanxi much since they parted ways before the high school entrance examination in his previous life. This is the first time he has seen her with makeup on.
Even though it was just a very basic and simple light makeup, it was still very new to him.
"I bought it secretly during the summer vacation." Ying Chanxi whispered, "Don't tell my dad, I just bought it to practice."
"I can see that it is indeed a practice."
"What?" Ying Chanxi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "Is it not good-looking?"
"It's pretty." Li Luo turned his head to look at her carefully, and then concluded, "But this beauty is purely due to your good foundation, and has nothing to do with your makeup skills. Maybe you'll look better without makeup."
Hearing him say this, Ying Chanxi immediately lowered his head, his ears turned red, and he muttered softly: "You talk too much..."
The two of them walked downstairs and out of the elevator, heading outside the community. Ying Chanxi asked, "Where are we going?"
The area near the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School has not been developed much at this time.
The subway is not connected and the Longfor Tianjie next to Qianjiang University has not yet been completed.
It is a transition zone between the center and suburbs of Yinjiang District.
But there is certainly no shortage of restaurants to eat at.
Li Luo took Ying Chanxi to find a restaurant that looked relatively clean and bright, asked for a small private room, ordered three or four side dishes, and had a simple meal.
The cost of one meal is nearly one hundred yuan, which is an absolutely large expense for an ordinary high school student.
But just when Li Luo was about to pay, Ying Chanxi was one step ahead of him. She took out a bright red Mao Zedong note from her small bag and handed it to the front desk for the check.
"I'll give you 7 yuan in change. Please keep it."
Ying Chanxi took the change, stuffed it into his wallet, and looked at Li Luo: "Let's go."
"I should treat you."
"I called you out, so of course I'll treat you." Ying Chanxi said with a smile, "If you want to treat me, please take the initiative next time and don't always ask me to call you."
Ying Chanxi knew that Li Luo's family had taken out a loan to buy a house, so Li Luo must not have much pocket money.
So there is no way he could pay such a large sum of money.
But after saying the above, Ying Chanxi pointed to the milk tea shop across the street and said, "I want to drink milk tea."
Li Luo glanced at Ying Chanxi, probably figuring out what this girl was thinking, and smiled helplessly.
It was really hard for her to be treated to a meal by a girl and have to take care of the boy's self-esteem.
"What flavor would you like to drink?"
"Just regular bubble tea."
"You don't want ice?"
"Eh? Um... ah, I can't drink cold drinks these days..."
