The next morning, as Su Yu awoke from his sleep, he received an unexpected call.
It was none other than Chen Gewang, Chen Yixun, from Xiangjiang, who had called him personally.
"Is this Teacher Su Yu? I am Chen Yixun from Xiangjiang. The reason for my call today is that I have something I want to explain to you…"
Su Yu quietly listened as Chen Yixun recounted the various operations of Tianshen Entertainment, stating that he himself firmly opposed the company's practice of suppressing song prices.
Su Yu had actually anticipated such a result.
After all, who doesn't know the reputation and public perception of Tianshen Entertainment in Xiangjiang nowadays?
Which of their promoted artists wasn't repeatedly exploited until they lost all value, only to end in a tragic downfall?
Su Yu could fully understand Chen Yixun's situation and predicament.
However, he wouldn't have called just to explain, would he?
Could it still be about inviting songs? Su Yu felt that Tianshen Entertainment shouldn't be so shameless.
"Chen Gewang, you didn't call me just to say this, did you? I'm very clear about Tianshen Entertainment's nature, and this isn't a big deal, so you wouldn't specifically talk about this, right? So, just get straight to the point." Su Yu asked very directly.
He still had to go to work, and he didn't want to talk for too long on this call.
"It's like this, my contract with Tianshen Entertainment expires in two months. At that time, I plan to develop in the mainland and would like to invite two songs from Teacher Su Yu in advance to open up the mainland market. After all, after the termination, I might not be able to stay in Xiangjiang. But you can rest assured, i am willing to pay you 3 million per song for the invitation fee, and the later song revenue can also follow your 50/50 split. Does Teacher Su Yu think this is acceptable?"
After Chen Yixun revealed his upcoming contract termination with Tianshen Entertainment, he directly made a song invitation request.
Through the previous two contacts between Tianshen Entertainment and Su Yu, Chen Yixun knew that Su Yu highly valued the worth of his works.
Even if the person inviting the song had a high level of strength and status, he probably wouldn't easily give in.
Moreover, compared to the value that Su Yu's works could create, the cost of buying the songs really wasn't much.
Alright? He had heard that ever since "like you" went online last night, many veteran Xiangjiang singers had developed the idea of inviting songs from Su Yu.
Therefore, it was safest for him to be proactive and queue up in advance.
Who knew that after a night of fermentation, the song "like you" had already entered the top ten of the August New Song Chart?
And the growth rate of this song's downloads also astonished many musicians in the industry.
They even believed that this song might surpass "flammable and explosive," which had already exceeded 30 million downloads, by the end of the month!
That's right, the current number one song was "flammable and explosive," the lead single Su Yu wrote for Liu Ruyan, which had garnered over 30 million downloads in just 9 days since its release.
And because of the song's explosive popularity, the sales of Liu Ruyan's entire new album were also very impressive, having sold over 700,000 copies so far, practically dazzling a host of musicians.
So, how could Chen Yixun not be anxious?
However, after hearing Chen Yixun's purpose, Su Yu did not immediately agree to write songs for him, but thought of other things.
Chen Yixun of Blue Star China was not Eason Chan of Earth; otherwise, he would be the God of Singers, not The King of Singers.
Therefore, his status in Tianshen Entertainment was not among the highest tier.
However, Chen Yixun's singing skills were not weak at all, and he had no negative news after more than ten years in the industry.
This made Su Yu have other thoughts.
"Chen Gewang, after you terminate your contract with Tianshen Entertainment, you plan to develop in the mainland anyway. Have you considered my Tianxing Entertainment?"
That's right, Su Yu planned to poach Chen Yixun, which could also be considered repaying the favor of Wang Tianfeng selling him the villa at a low price last time.
"It's a bit early to talk about this, isn't it? However, several mainland entertainment companies have indeed contacted me in advance. What does Teacher Su Yu mean?" Chen Yixun was a bit confused. Could Su Yu be representing Tianxing Entertainment to poach him?
"How about this, Chen Gewang, when you have time, come to Yanjing. At that time, I'll call our company's Senior Executive, and we can talk in person, how about that? Anyway, the new song matter will have to wait two months, so there's no rush."
Su Yu didn't immediately offer Chen Yixun very high terms, as he wasn't a Senior Executive of the company. He still had to discuss it with his Uncle Wang Tianfeng first.
However, Su Yu felt that Wang Tianfeng would not refuse to sign a King of Singers from Xiangjiang.
"How about tomorrow night? I have a commercial performance in Yanjing tomorrow, and I'll be free in the evening." Chen Yixun's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed.
If he could directly join Tianxing Entertainment, the leading entertainment company in the mainland, after leaving Tianshen Entertainment, that would be fantastic.
With the help of Tianxing Entertainment, opening up the mainland market should not be a problem for him.
"Okay, give me a call tomorrow after you're done. Then, Chen Gewang, see you tomorrow!" Su Yu agreed with a smile.
In fact, he really did have songs suitable for Chen Gewang, which was "red rose," and it even had both mandarin and cantonese versions.
Of course, if time permitted, Su Yu also planned to have Chen Yixun sing the two songs from "little li flying dagger."
However, these things couldn't be directly stated now.
After arriving at Tianxing Entertainment, Su Yu went directly to find Wang Tianfeng after finishing breakfast.
It turned out that Wang Tianfeng was not in his office. According to his assistant, Wang Tianfeng had been out these past few days, overseeing the film crew's matters.
This time, Wang Tianfeng was the overall person in charge of the project, so he was even more attentive.
So Su Yu could only call him and tell Wang Tianfeng about Chen Yixun's matter.
"I'm here at Hengdian World Studios. I can't go back tomorrow. You go find Old Han or Old Li; it's the same if they talk! Alright, I'm not talking anymore. The filming is starting in a few days, so uncle is very busy." Wang Tianfeng hung up the phone after speaking.
And Old Han, Old Li, whom he mentioned? That made Su Yu a bit confused.
Because he had been at Tianxing Entertainment for so long, and no one had ever mentioned the Senior Executive to him? He hadn't even met these two Senior Executive!
Just as Su Yu was feeling confused, Han Jiangxue's pretty face appeared before his eyes, which instantly made Su Yu's eyes light up!
When in doubt, ask the senior sister!
So, before Han Jiangxue could speak, Su Yu pulled her aside and recounted Chen Yixun's matter and Wang Tianfeng's words.
Looking at Su Yu's hand still holding her arm, Han Jiangxue didn't feel any annoyance, nor did she struggle to break free, but listened very carefully to Su Yu's narration.
Clearly, the so-called 潔癖 also depends on the person.
