    ??

    But the day after Xia Fan reached an agreement with Ma Xiaodong, this guy called again.

    "Teacher Xia, I have something to trouble you with."

    The voice on the other end of the phone gave Xia Fan a vague feeling.

    "You tell me, I'll do my best." He paused and replied calmly.

    "Mr. Xia should be familiar with Zhang Xuehan. We have been fighting for her exclusive song copyright. On your side"

    Ma Xiaodong said in a serious tone.

    "Oh, Mr. MaI understand what you mean." Xia Fan quickly realized what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.

    We must admit that there is a reason why Penguin Music can make the market so big and compete with China Music, which has an official background.

    This company¡¯s methods are indeed endless, and it knows how to make aggressive demands at the right time.

    "Hey, Teacher Xia, as long as it works, your benefits will be indispensable. It's best to win Chen Shiying's songs too!"

    Ma Xiaodong knows very well how much say a musician like Xia Fan, who is versatile in both lyrics and music, has in the music world.

    "As long as he made such a suggestion to the two female artists, they would not seriously consider it, unless they were not planning to invite Xia Fan to sing in the future.

    "Okay, I'll give it a try, but it's best to talk about this kind of thing in person. I haven't asked about business affairs recently, so you'll have to wait for a while."

    "It's okay, there's no rush" Ma Xiaodong replied with satisfaction.

    After Xia Fan hung up the phone, he made a rough summary.

    Currently, the songs he wrote for Zhang Xuehan, excluding chorus, include "Initial Dream", "Rewind", and "Meet".

    The first song is a super hit song.

    On Chen Shiying¡¯s side, there are ¡°Love¡¯s Offering¡±, ¡°Red Bean¡±, ¡°Dao Ma Dan¡±, and the recently purchased ¡°Later¡±.

    But for some reason, it has been 2 months since she bought the song "Later", and there is no sign of it being released. Could it be that she is holding back a big move?

    Xia Fan shook his head and took back his thoughts, then thought of Wang Weichen, a veteran singer.

    After a few years of being out of fashion, the song "Love Transfer" brought him back to life, and the song "Red Rose" made him return to the ranks of first-line singers.

    It is also rated as "soul singer" by the industry.

    It seems that in the past few years, because of his "handiwork", he has been quietly changing the ecosystem of the Chinese music scene.

    Xia Fan picked up the phone again and looked at the screen in a daze.

    "Online music platforms still value some young singers. Just like Ma Xiaodong did not mention Wang Weichen's song copyright. Although he has rejuvenated, he is still a middle-aged uncle after all, and his market potential has almost been exhausted."

    "But I was a little surprised when Ma Xiaodong mentioned Chen Shiying"

    Xia Fan turned to Chen Shiying¡¯s WeChat account and stared at her profile picture for a long time, then slowly raised his fingers and started typing.

    "Here? I'm discussing something with you."

    He just said to Ma Xiaodong, "This kind of thing is best discussed in person", it was just a matter of conversation, and he didn't take it seriously.

    "what is the matter?"

    "Good news. I have just reached an agreement with Penguin Music. My song copyright will be sold exclusively to the other party for 70 million yuan. The contract period is one year, starting from January 1 next year."

    After Chen Shiying heard the news, she was stunned for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Are you here to show off to me? But you have always refused this exclusive buyout model before."

    "So I only signed a one-year contract to observe the market reaction." Xia Fan explained, "The last time Penguin Music asked for a buyout, I was still young and my debut time was short. If I blindly agreed, it would be too much.  Reckless. Things are different now"

    The TV series became a hit, the Spring Festival Gala skit became popular, the mini-album was very successful, and a series of singles with good results and popularity made his choice more comfortable.

    "Think about 70 million. I have to work so hard to film so many movies. And you don't have to do anything. You just lie at home and sleep every day, and you have so much income."

    Chen Shiying's tone revealed a hint of envy: "Singers with creative ability are great. They can count money until their hands cramp when they earn royalties."

    "Not all singer-songwriters can earn copyright fees, and speaking of copyright fees" Xia Fan coughed lightly and finally got to the point, "Those songs I wrote for you should all have copyrights.  It's in your hands??¡±

    Chen Shiying was a little confused as to why the other party suddenly brought the topic to herself, but she still answered truthfully: "I own the copyright of all my songs, but I bought them with money, which is essentially different from the ones you wrote yourself.  "

    "Ah That's good!"

    Xia Fan nodded, and the other party's answer was within his expectation.

    Chen Shiying is different from pure singers like Zhang Xuehan, but she is an actor first. Because she has a singing dream, she has released several singles at her own expense. However, none of the songs she bought previously made a splash until Xia Fan wrote it for her.  She gained some sense of presence in the music scene with the TV series theme song "Providence of Love".

    "Sister Shiying, I have something to discuss with you. In fact, you can also package and sell the song copyright exclusively to a certain music platform. This money is like giving it away for free."

    "Me? But those are the only songs I can use!"

    Chen Shiying was puzzled for a moment and replied.

    She is different from Zhang Xuehan.  Before Xia Fan wrote songs for the latter, she was already a veritable little diva in the music industry, and the few golden songs he wrote directly made Zhang Xuehan realize the leap from a little diva to a real diva.

    As for Chen Shiying, her previous songs had too low a sense of presence.

    "It was people from Penguin Music who asked me to be a lobbyist. They hope to get your exclusive song copyright. With your popularity and number of fans, you can indeed help attract a lot of traffic to this platform."

    "And Penguin Music should be able to guess our relationship Well, it should be good."

    When Xia Fan said this, his tone paused slightly, as if the atmosphere was slightly ambiguous.

    "They should be able to guess that there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. Taking your exclusive copyright is an early investment."

    Chen Shiying slowly took a deep breath and replied: "Then should I agree to them? And how much do I want to offer? By the way, you wrote all of my popular songs, so you can help me decide."

    As the girl was talking, she suddenly smiled slyly and decisively kicked the ball to Xia Fan.

    ¡°What I mean is that if you take the quotation given to you by Penguin Music and turn around to find China Music, then you can properly disclose that there will be many musical cooperations between you and me in the future.¡±

    Xia Fan¡¯s answer was beyond her expectation.
