However, usually her favorite place to live is Green Harbor. Although her house here is only an ordinary commercial house of about 100 square meters, she likes the environment and the atmosphere of life here.

Just like now, she can go for a walk in the community wearing a hat and mask casually. Few people here can recognize who she is. Even if someone does recognize her, these people are generally of high quality and will not be too bother her too much.

This kind of ordinary daily life is what she enjoys the most.

Especially just now, when she was on the way home, she saw a young couple smiling unscrupulously and embracing without hesitation. That kind of natural expression of emotion made her very envious.

Moreover, she always felt that the beautiful girl who laughed out loud, she seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it for a while.

"It's strange, why do I always feel like I'm destined for that girl just now... Maybe, I can try to make new friends... Well, after so many years, I hardly have any friends around me..."

Such an idea suddenly popped up in Su Jinxiu's mind, and she didn't reject it. In her opinion, everything should go with the flow.

However, the passionate melody is fleeting and random, and the music returns to its normal flat rhythm.

Amid the sound of drums and guitars, a calm and slightly vicissitudes voice sang.

"You and I are all mortals, born in the world. Running around all day long, never idle for a moment."

The first line of the lyrics hit Su Jinxiu's heart directly.

This kind of lyrics that are simple and straightforward but every word can touch people's soul the most.

"May I ask when did you see that the world has changed for people, and if you have the face you dream of, is it considered to have spring?"

...

Soon after listening to a song, Su Jinxiu actually felt a sense of loss. She was stunned for a while, and directly paid for the song "Song of Ordinary People", and then began to play it on a loop.

Every time she listens to it again, she seems to have new insights.

After listening to it seven or eight times in a row, she suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have replied to Director Lin Ming about her opinion.

She picked up the phone, thought about it, and wrote earnestly: "I think "Song of Ordinary People" is a very classic work. Both the lyrics and the melody are excellent. Moreover, the thoughts and philosophies contained in this song , It is indeed very suitable for our TV series, after all, the main line of the story is the entrepreneurial history of mortal grassroots, I think using this song as the theme song is a great plus for the TV series."

Soon, Lin Ming replied with five words: "Heroes see the same thing."

Lin Ming was a very happy person. After deciding to use "Ordinary Song" as the theme song of his TV series, he sent someone to contact the staff of the music new starting point website the next day.

Because when Chen Feng uploaded "The Song of Ordinary People", he almost didn't fill in any relevant information about himself, so he could only contact through the website.

New Starting Point of Music naturally welcomes such things. The works on their website have been chosen as theme songs by great directors. This is definitely a selling point worth promoting.

Moreover, the website is very optimistic about the work "Song of Ordinary People". Many staff members of the website, including senior leaders, have long added this song to their playlist. It's Ordinary" homepage banner advertisement PK is also a decision made by the leader of the operation department, the purpose is to better promote this song.

Sure enough, "Song of Ordinary People" did not disappoint everyone. It was unexpectedly picked up by a famous director like Lin Ming so quickly.

...

Chen Feng was shopping with An Ruohua in the supermarket when he received a call from the music new starting point website. These days, he and An Ruohua rarely rest at home. Both of them enjoy this kind of daily life at home. status.

The call was made by a director of the copyright department. When he heard Chen Feng's voice, the other party was a little excited, and even spoke with a vibrato.

"You are Mr. Chen Feng, right? I'm Zhu Yonghe from the Copyright Department of Music New Beginning. It's like this. A director of a TV series wants to use your "Mortal Song" as the theme song. I need to discuss related matters with you. I don't know about you. Fang is inconvenient..."

Zhu Yonghe is very familiar with the business of copyright operation. He quickly explained the related things roughly on the phone. Of course, more details need to be negotiated and signed in person.

At the same time, Zhu Yonghe also proposed a work copyright agency agreement to Chen Feng. With this agreement, the music new starting point will participate in the copyright operation, promotion and protection of Chen Feng's works. They will participate in and cooperate with Chen Feng. In the negotiation of the TV series, he helped Chen Feng get more rights.

In addition, they will also carry out vigorous marketing and promotion of Chen Feng's works, and at the same time, they will also actively participate in rights protection actions to protect the copyright rights of Chen Feng's works.

Of course, the premise that Music New Beginning is willing to do so much work is that they want to take away 30% of Chen Feng's copyright proceeds!

"Thirty percent, that's too much..." Chen Feng thought for a moment, and finally rejected Zhu Yonghe's proposal.

Zhu Yonghe was a little anxious immediately, and he immediately said that the specific share ratio can be discussed again, and if Chen Feng has any requirements, he can also bring it up for negotiation.

Chen Feng thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally proposed: "The copyright agency agreement can be signed, but the new starting point of music can only get 20%, and the agreement can only be for the work "Mortal Song", not for Chen Feng. all future works of man."

This requirement gave Zhu Yonghe a headache, and what Chen Feng said was deadly. If these conditions were not met, he would never sign the contract.

In the end, Zhu Yonghe could only say that he was going to ask a higher leader for instructions and would give Chen Feng an answer as soon as possible.

...

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng continued to accompany An Ruohua to the supermarket.

An Ruohua just heard the content of Chen Feng's phone call, and couldn't help but sigh: "Don't say 30%, even if it's 20%, I think it's too high. It's not easy for you to write a song. Why should the website just take it away?" many?"

Chen Feng smiled and said: "Twenty percent... is actually acceptable. After all, we as individuals have limited abilities, and we will be very passive when negotiating copyright with some big companies. If a big website like Music New Beginning helps us get ahead Negotiation, the effect is better."

An Ruohua curled her lips. Although she was a little reluctant, she also knew that what Chen Feng said was very reasonable.

"The most important thing is that in the event of any infringements in the future, the legal system of the music new start is much more powerful than our own. In the future, they will be the main force in protecting copyright income."

An Ruohua sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, who made us so weak..."

Chen Feng stretched out his hand to grab An Ruohua's shoulder, wrapped her fingers around a few strands of her hair, and said calmly: "Actually, if I really sign a contract with them, the most important thing for me is that I will avoid many Trouble, I don’t need to go to battle in person if something happens in the future. In this way, I can have more time to create with peace of mind, and I can better accompany you to go shopping, go to the supermarket, cook, take a walk, and do a lot of fun The matter... From this point of view, it is worth sharing the 20% profit, right?"

Hearing this, An Ruohua couldn't help but blushed, and lightly punched Chen Feng.

"Hmph, I don't need your company!"

Chen Feng smiled and said: "Really? Without my company, how can you be truly happy when doing things?"
