Chapter 24: Sold and then helped count the money
Zhou Yang left the coffee shop and went to a noodle shop outside the school, where he ate a bowl of Lanzhou ramen.
He touched the tip of his nose and pondered:
"Jing Tian actually disagreed??"
"Is it over after selling the copyright to Jing Tian?"
This was certainly not Zhou Yang's goal.
His goal was to sing for Jing Tian for free.
The song copyright was given to Jing Tian free of charge.
Even filming music videos is free.
I'll only consider whether to become the female lead in the system's script after the song becomes a hit.
He believed.
Once Jing Tian finishes filming the music video and sees Zhou Yang's filming skills, she will definitely agree to make a movie.
But now?
Jing Tian only wants the song copyright and has no intention of making a movie.
"Anaconda Horror: Is the movie star Liang Jiahui really that attractive??"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
For a girl like Jing Tian who hasn't acted in a movie yet, it's naturally quite attractive.
Furthermore, Jing Tian's music video for "Who Are You" became a hit.
The feeling of being famous is even more intoxicating, making you forget everything else.
Even if it means being a moth drawn to a flame, I'm willing to do it.
After a while.
Zhou Yang shook his head and sighed:
"If all else fails, I'll take a step back and sell the song copyright to Jing Tian, but on one condition: I must direct the music video."
"Is this all there is to it?"
He doesn't have time to wait.
We can only wait one day; if it doesn't happen...
His only option was to go to the performing arts department to find Jing Tian.
But...
Zhou Yang is still confident in the appeal of "The Wind Rises".
Going to Jing Tian, compromising, and selling the copyright would be the worst possible option.
...
Back in the dorm.
Chen Yue had already finished eating and returned.
She then recounted how Zhou Yang went to the coffee shop to meet the female celebrity.
"Wow……"
"Yang-ge, you're back! Did the deal go through?!"
When Chen Yue and the other two saw Zhou Yang push the door open and come in, they couldn't wait to come up and ask him questions.
Zhou Yangqian laughed a few times:
"It's not that easy to reach an agreement."
"I'm just an unknown nobody."
Chen Yue encouraged him:
"How is that possible??"
"Brother Yang, that's only for now. Didn't I say that you're going to be a Chinese director who wins the national award, the Palme d'Or, in the future?"
Zhou Yang smiled and joked:
"Of course, no problem."
"But let's talk about it again tomorrow."
"That's fine, that's fine too."
Chen Yue and the other two asked again:
"Brother Yang, which female celebrity is it? Do we know her?"
"You guys??" Zhou Yang blinked.
"Yeah, do the three of us know each other?"
Zhou Yang pretended to think for a moment:
"I should, probably, know him."
"Wow……"
The three of them stared in surprise.
"Is that from our college?"
Chen Yue asked with a smile.
Zhou Yang rolled his eyes:
"Why do you need to find out so much?"
Chen Yue laughed heartily:
"No, I just wanted to know as soon as possible because our great director Zhou is going to shoot a music video, and I wanted to pay my respects beforehand!!"
"If there's time, we should be able to finalize it by tomorrow," Zhou Yang said with a wry smile.
"You will see it, and it will not disappoint you."
"That's great, hahaha..." The three of them didn't rush to ask who the female celebrity was.
But the term "female celebrity" certainly implies that she is not ugly.
She is naturally a great beauty.
This is also why the three of them wanted to know who the female celebrity was.
night.
Zhou Yang called Liu Caixia.
"Son, you're finally calling!!"
Hearing his mother's worried tone, Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he asked:
"Mom, but that group of people went to the hospital to harass you again?"
Liu Caixia smiled and said:
"No, but Mom is worried about you."
Zhou Yang felt relieved after hearing this.
"I'm fine, don't worry, Mom."
"Why wouldn't I use it? Those beastly creditors, if they don't come after me and your father, they'll definitely come after you!"
Zhou Yang comforted him:
"It's alright, don't worry, Mom. Didn't I tell you, it's all taken care of?"
Liu Caixia gave her many more instructions.
If Yuan Huang and his gang dare to come to the school to find you, call the police immediately.
Zhou Yang agreed to all of them.
He thought Yuan Huang had taken people to the hospital again.
That's good, I can rest assured now.
Surprisingly, Yuan Huang wasn't a completely bad person after all.
The contract was for two months, so it still stands.
Zhou Yang's tense heart relaxed again.
Now there's only one thing left.
Jing Tian —
...
Inside the villa.
"Princess Pearl" was playing on TV.
Jing Tian, wearing a hood, was rubbing some kind of liquid in her hands.
That's a "cooling cream".
The price is not cheap.
Especially in the summer, the weather is hot and dry.
After applying it, it not only feels cool but also has a skin-whitening effect.
Jing Tian's fingers are slender, white, and boneless, like works of art.
"Tian Tian, have you made up your mind?"
Zeng Jia gently patted her cheeks and asked casually.
"I... what decision have I made?"
Jing Tian spoke vaguely, as if she was still hesitating.
Zeng Jia blinked:
"Still being stubborn? I can tell from your tone that you really like that song!!"
Jing Tian pursed her cherry lips and sighed:
"Sigh, I like it too."
"But I can't agree to Zhou Yang's conditions."
Zeng Jia analyzed:
"Although, Zhou Yang's conditions are indeed a bit difficult."
"First, we'll give away song copyrights for free."
Second, free music video shooting.
"These two conditions are really good, very attractive!"
"What a pity, they actually wanted our Tian Tian to act in a movie, and even play the lead role, because we didn't have the time."
Jing Tian lowered her eyes and said, somewhat annoyed:
"Jiajia, just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush."
Zeng Jia chuckled a few times:
"Our Tian Tian is so smart."
"First, you like the song 'The Wind Rises'."
"This song was completed independently by Zhou Yang. He has the final say on everything, including copyright and other matters."
"It would be excellent to buy it."
"But... Zhou Yang just wouldn't sell it, for some reason."
"Actually, those two conditions aren't impossible to agree to."
"What do you mean??" Jing Tian's eyes flickered.
Zeng Jia said earnestly:
"Since Zhou Yang gave you the song copyright for free and even made a music video for you for free."
"Why not? No matter what, you won't lose anything!"
Jing Tian asked in surprise:
"But... Zhou Yang wants me to be the female lead in his movie!"
Zeng Jia said with a bad smile:
"You've obtained the music copyright and filmed the music video."
"Back then, did Zhou Yang still have the final say? Whether to film or not was entirely up to you."
Upon hearing this, Jing Tian's beautiful eyes flickered incessantly.
"this……"
Zeng Jia then said:
"I believe that junior Zhou Yang is capable."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to create songs, and even dare to make music videos and movies, don't you think!"
Jing Tian remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"But... wouldn't that be kicking someone when they're down? We got the copyright, but we stood Zhou Yang up."
Zeng Jia spread out her fair wrist:
"No, Zhou Yang already said that."
"After you finish filming the music video, if you want to be the female lead in his movie, then go ahead. I won't force you if you don't want to."
"Hehehe..."
A cold smile flashed across Zeng Jia's fair face:
"Then we can go to Shanxi without any delay."
"You got the songs you wanted and were able to film 'Anaconda' as scheduled, leaving no regrets, achieving the best of both worlds."
Jing Tian's eyes were full of admiration as she praised him:
"Little Jiajia, you are so clever."
"If it were me, I'd probably sell me out and still be counting the money for you!!"
Zeng Jia smiled and said:
How could this be??
"I can't bear to sell you."
"Hehe...Besides, who would want our clingy little Tian Tian?!"
"That's incredibly stupid, like buying a great-grandmother."
Jing Tian laughed and scolded:
"Hey, Jiajia, you think you're so great? Want a beating?!"
Zeng Jia covered her red lips, laughing non-stop.
