Lin Chudong pretended he would write a complete version for Tian Yingxiong in a few days and sent him away.
Liang Yin said, "Da Fei, this song sounds good. Aren't we keeping it to sing ourselves?"
Lin Chudong shook his head, "I won't have the same effect singing this song. It's better to sell it."
"How much money is in the account now?"
"Over four million seven hundred thousand. Is that enough to shoot a TV series?"
Lin Chudong frowned slightly, "It's still a little short. I'll sell another song, and then get some sponsorships."
Actually, they could shoot it at a low cost, but since it was Lin Chudong's first time in the film and television industry, he had to establish a good reputation.
He might not make much money the first time, but as long as the reputation was good, the price for the second project would definitely skyrocket.
Just like how it was with Lin Chudong's songwriting. When he was unknown, no one cared, even if he wrote great songs.
But now that he was famous, a song for two million, they didn't think it was expensive.
The more money there was for filming a TV show, the better. Over ten million was the most ideal. With money, they had the opportunity to invest and grow the company.
Although Lin Chudong's main focus was his singing career, the alternate world he'd gotten from three years of daily check-ins would be a waste if he didn't try to make it work in all fields.
Singing was still the main business; other side hustles were for making money and opening treasure chests. His strategy was clear.
Not long after Tian Yingxiong left, Lin Chudong's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, Brother Sun?"
Sun Xuan's voice came from the receiver.
"Da Fei, are you alright? Still in the hospital?"
"I'm fine, Brother Sun, thanks for asking. I'm discharged. It was just an allergic reaction."
"Sigh, you're really not one to make things easy, huh? I thought you'd be done after one episode, but you ended up shutting down the whole show. You..."
Lin Chudong laughed, "Brother Sun, don't scold me. I was forced to do it. How are you doing? Is CCTV easy to work with?"
Sun Xuan said, "It's alright. I'm already preparing a program, but it's a news program, so it might not be suitable for you. If I do well with this program, I might be able to join the Spring Festival Gala production team. I'll help you out then."
Lin Chudong said, "Great, thanks a lot, Brother Sun!"
Sun Xuan said, "Don't go back to Modu TV Station anymore. You're already blacklisted. I'll transfer Cheng Huanhuan to CCTV in a few days. We'll have opportunities to work together in the future."
"I understand, Brother Sun."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they hung up.
Lin Chudong was somewhat impressed. Sun Xuan had only been at CCTV for a few days, and already had a program. Moreover, he could bring his former subordinates to be hosts. His status was obvious.
Maybe he could really get on the Spring Festival Gala at the end of the year. He hadn't even been on the Spring Festival Gala when he was in the Da Fei Band. Now, he'd gone solo, and it hadn't even been half a year. If he really had the chance, Shen Jianbin's face would definitely be very 'pleasant' to see.
Ding dong.
A WeChat message came in.
Lin Chudong was a bit surprised; it was actually Yang Han who had sent it.
"Da Fei, how are you? Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Lin Chudong: I've been discharged, and I'm in good health. Thank you for your concern.
Yang Han: Can I come see you? Is it convenient?
Lin Chudong: Yes, it is. I'll send you the location.
Half an hour later, Yang Han walked into the office wearing sunglasses. Seeing the scene before her, Yang Han said, "The office is nice, thriving, and has a great atmosphere."
Liang Yin smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. I used to listen to your songs all the time when I was in college."
Yang Han smiled slightly and sighed, "That was all in the past. I was quite popular before, but now no one recognizes me on the street."
Lin Chudong sat next to Liang Yin and poured a cup of tea for Yang Han.
"Sorry, I messed things up for you, and you didn't get to perform on the show."
Yang Han shook her head. "It's nothing. I was going to be eliminated in one or two rounds anyway. Without resources, I was just there to run alongside everyone else, so it doesn't matter."
After expressing concern for Lin Chudong's health, Yang Han immediately got to the point.
"Da Fei, I've been following you closely lately. I think you're incredibly talented. I'm just coming out of a slump, and I really need some new songs right now."
"I want you to write a song for me. I've found an opportunity to appear on a variety show, and I want to make a comeback with your help."
Lin Chudong and Liang Yin exchanged glances; they had both guessed Yang Han's purpose.
Her previous show of goodwill towards Lin Chudong, and her initiative in approaching him, was partly due to her kindness and her ability to empathize with a washed-up singer like Da Fei.
But there was also a degree of calculation. Everyone in the industry acknowledged Da Fei's musical talent, especially the power of his recent songs, so Yang Han wanted to give it a try.
Lin Chudong said, "I can write a song for you, but the price won't be low."
Lin Chudong gave a signal, and Liang Yin directly brought over Tian Yingxiong's contract and placed it on the table, saying,
"Look, my brother Tian Yingxiong, two million per song, and he just left."
Yang Han's expression shifted slightly. Two million, that price was too high!
Yang Han had been past her prime for a long time. The appearance fees she got for recording shows now weren't as high as Da Fei's. Two million was no small sum!
Yang Han gritted her teeth. "Do you have a finished song in hand?"
"Yes."
Lin Chudong opened his phone and directly played a demo, which was the song "Invisible Wings" that he had previously submitted to Zhang Yiran.
After a short melody ended, Lin Chudong said, "You should be able to hear the value of this song. Actually, it's also very suitable for you, but the price is non-negotiable. Currently, it's two million. If Tian Yingxiong's song becomes a hit, then my price will be even higher."
"And when my company expands, and I sign my own artists, I won't write songs for outsiders."
After Lin Chudong's persuasive words, Yang Han was clearly moved. Mainly, this song was truly amazing. Even just this short demo made her incredibly shocked.
Da Fei is really amazing!
"Let me think it over. Keep this song for me for three days. I'll give you an answer in three days."
Lin Chudong said, "It's alright. Take your time and think it over. Just let me know before the end of the National Day Holiday."
Yang Han nodded quickly, "Okay, thank you for your time. Sorry to bother you!"
After seeing Yang Han off, Liang Yin said, "Da Fei, do you really think Yang Han can make this song a hit? I still think it's better to sell it to Zhang Yiran."
Lin Chudong said, "Well, she has to like it first, right? Did you see if she replied to my email?"
Liang Yin pouted, "She'll regret it."
Lin Chudong smiled faintly, "Gold always shines. Yang Han's abilities aren't any worse than Zhang Yiran's."
"If we sell this song, we'll have nearly seven million!"
Lin Chudong said, "Don't celebrate too early. Yang Han might not even spend this money. The National Day Holiday is coming up soon. If there's nothing else planned, let's give everyone a holiday."
Liang Yin nodded.
"Okay. What are your plans for National Day Holiday?"
"I'm going back to the Orphanage to take a look."
"Okay!"
Everyone was very excited for the National Day Holiday. Going home with their salaries was the happiest thing.
"Brother Fei, we're off!"
"Yeah, be careful." Lin Chudong waved his hand, sending everyone off. He was the only one left in the company.
Lin Qiqi sent a WeChat message.
"Da Fei, where are you going for the National Day Holiday?"
Lin Chudong: I want to go back to the Orphanage to see how things are. What about you?
Lin Qiqi: I want to go with you.
Lin Chudong: Miss, the Orphanage is in a small village, and the environment is very poor. Can you handle it? Lin Qiqi: I can.
Lin Chudong: Okay then, I'll take you.
