Jing Xiuran suddenly jolted awake and sat up in bed!
"What's going on, Fatty?!"
"Go online yourself and see! Original Creation Base's New Song Chart! Your "preference" has soared to third place!"
"this life unchanging" is also at fifth!
"It's only been one night! Playback volume and comment count are skyrocketing! The comment section is full of people asking who you are!"
What? So fast?
He scrambled out of bed and rushed to his desk, opening the Original Creation Base's webpage!
Jing Xiuran saw it at a glance!
Third Place: "preference" - Jing Xiuran (Plays: 150,000+ | Comments: 3,000+)
Fifth Place: "this life unchanging" - Jing Xiuran (Plays: 120,000+ | Comments: 2,000+)
The data was still soaring at a visible speed!
He clicked on the comment section.
【I stumbled upon this yesterday and looped it all night! "this life unchanging" is so good!】
【"preference" is so awesome! The chorus gave me goosebumps!】
【Both the lyrics and music are top-notch! Is this really a newcomer?】
【Please give us all the information about the singer, little brother!】
The comment section scrolled rapidly, almost entirely positive reviews!
Jing Xiuran noticed some messages interspersed that were clearly from industry professionals!
【Hello, we are very interested in your two works and hope to discuss copyright cooperation matters!】
【Our company sincerely seeks to purchase songs, the price is negotiable!】
【Wind Chime Music Studio seeks cooperation! We have rich experience in film and television scoring and hope to promote your excellent works to more people!】
His private messages were also full of similar comments!
It really happened!
Jing Xiuran suppressed his excitement and quickly filtered through them.
He directly ignored some small companies or individual buyers.
His gaze finally settled on the message from the ID "Wind Chime Music Studio."
He checked this studio online; it wasn't large, but it had a decent reputation in the industry and had successfully promoted several songs.
Most importantly, the other party was very sincere and offered a clear quote.
A one-time payment of 50,000 yuan plus a portion of subsequent royalties for both songs! Exclusive authorization buyout!
This figure already exceeded the 30,000 yuan required by the system task!
Although Jing Xiuran knew that the value of these two songs was definitely far more than 50,000!
But currently, for him, completing the task and getting the item in that colorful treasure chest was more important!
He pondered for a moment and made a decision: "I can contact them first, probe their background, and then decide."
Jing Xiuran sent his number to Wind Chime Music Studio through the platform.
Not long after the message was sent, he received a call.
"Hello! May I speak with Mr. Jing Xiuran?"
A slightly anxious male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am the head of Wind Chime Music Studio! I listened to your songs! They're amazing!"
The other party immediately started praising him profusely, and after confirming Jing Xiuran's identity, expressed a strong desire for cooperation.
"Mr. Jing, are you available? We'd like to visit you in person for a detailed discussion!"
"Okay, I'm free tomorrow afternoon."
"Great, great! Then we'll see you tomorrow afternoon!"
After hanging up, Jing Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief; the situation had finally opened up!
But he hadn't even had time to catch his breath.
Ring, ring, ring!
His phone rang again!
Jing Xiuran glanced at the caller ID; it was an unfamiliar number.
Who?
A hint of doubt flashed in Jing Xiuran's mind as he pressed the answer button.
A calm and capable female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Jing Xiuran?"
"This is he. May I ask who this is?"
"Hello, Mr. Jing! I am the head of Tangren Film and Television."
"My name is Cai Yinong!"
Tangren Film and Television!
Cai Yinong!
Jing Xiuran's pupils suddenly contracted!
How could he not know this name! The helmswoman of a top-tier domestic film and television production company! The mastermind behind the Chinese Paladin series!
She actually called him personally!
Jing Xiuran took a deep breath and said in as steady a voice as possible: "Hello, CEO Cai, I am Jing Xiuran."
"Hello, Mr. Jing," Cai Yinong's voice carried a hint of appreciation, "Our Tangren is currently preparing a historical wuxia drama, chinese paladin 3, and we urgently need suitable background music."
"Our company's music team heard the two works you released, Mr. Jing, and they all feel that they are a perfect match for our drama series!"
"So we took the liberty of contacting you through official channels, hoping to obtain exclusive usage rights for these two songs in our chinese paladin 3 project. What do you think, Mr. Jing?"
Jing Xiuran's gaze unconsciously swept across the private message with the quote from the user named "Wind Chime" on the computer screen, his mind racing.
A moment later, his voice carried just the right amount of difficulty.
"Thank you very much for CEO Cai's recognition, but... the timing might not be ideal."
"Just before you called, a studio called Wind Chime had already contacted me and also expressed strong interest in cooperation."
"They are also very sincere and are very optimistic about the commercial potential of the songs. We have scheduled a detailed discussion for tomorrow."
This was an open scheme!
He wasn't lying; he had indeed received a cooperation inquiry from Wind Chime and had scheduled a meeting.
But that was all!
He hadn't agreed to anything!
"Wind Chime?" Cai Yinong's voice on the other end of the phone paused, as if she was quickly recalling the name.
"What terms did they offer? If it's about the price, our Tangren is absolutely sincere!"
This was exactly the effect Jing Xiuran wanted!
Only when the snipe and clam fight can his interests be maximized!
Jing Xiuran looked at the colorful treasure chest quietly suspended in the system space, feeling that he was one step closer to opening it!
