Chapter 21 Buying Song Copyrights [Please Read Further]
The original owner had never been to Feika Comics.
Although it is not far from the Beijing Film Academy campus.
The prices there can be described in three words—extremely high.
"Hello, sir, this is Full Boat Dream."
The staff member led Zhou Yang to the second floor and bowed as he spoke.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Thank you."
You're welcome, sir.
The staff member then left.
Zhou Yang looked at a small, gleaming gold sign nailed to the side of the door.
The words "Full of Dreams" are printed on it in four cursive script characters.
Zhou Yang smiled and said:
"It's quite elegant; it's Tang Gong's poem 'Inscription on Qingcao Lake in Longyang County'."
"Knock knock..."
Knock gently on the door.
A second later, Zeng Jia's voice came through.
"Who is it??"
"It's me," Zhou Yang said calmly.
"Here I am!!"
Zeng Jia's previously calm voice suddenly broke into one of surprise.
Then, the door was opened a crack.
Then it opens completely.
It was Zeng Jia, all smiles, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.
"Is that Zhou Yang, junior?"
Zhou Yang joked:
"I'm standing right here, how could it be fake?"
"Junior, you're so funny. Come on in."
Zeng Jia smiled even more sweetly and quickly waved for Zhou Yang to come in.
Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, then went inside.
The window is a large pane of glass, which makes the room bright and airy.
The scenery outside is also completely unobstructed.
It's even clearer than what you can see from the Eiffel Tower.
Jing Tian changed into a white dress today. The dress, which was originally plain, looked elegant on her.
It didn't look like a skirt, but rather like a snow lotus growing on a high snow-capped mountain.
Pure white and flawless.
Cold and aloof.
It was completely unlike anything seen in the human world.
They were described as "a fairy descending to earth," "having beautiful features," "Chang'e in the moon," and "a beauty that could topple kingdoms."
Those are all demeaning to Jing Tian.
Jing Tian slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"Junior, please sit down."
Those dimples were shallow, warm, and incredibly cute.
Zhou Yang stared blankly, his steps faltering.
He was a little drunk.
I was even more tipsy than when I drank two jin of baijiu the day before.
Those are Jing Tian's dimples.
In an instant, Zhou Yang's vision became blurry.
A surge of emotion welled up within me, as if I were on a cloud, walking on clouds.
One wrong step and you'd fall, leaving no trace.
"Huff huff..."
He took a few deep breaths, trying to clear his mind, and replied:
"Thank you so much, senior, for personally inviting me."
Zeng Jia complained from the side:
"Excuse me, senior."
"It's not just a senior student."
"What about me, the senior student??"
Zhou Yang turned around and smiled:
"Yes, yes, thank you, two beautiful senior students."
"whee……"
Zeng Jia's gaze never left Zhou Yang's face.
Even as she walked over, she was all smiles, looking every bit the lovesick girl.
Jing Tian secretly glared at Zeng Jia, as if to say:
Stop looking! What's wrong with taking one less look? Will it kill you?
Zeng Jia also blinked in response:
Even if I could die, I'd die right now. Junior Zhou Yang is as handsome as Pan An, Pan An.
Jing Tian: An, you big-headed devil, tone it down a bit, okay? Okay?
Zeng Jia: Hey, alright, let's get down to business. I'll just watch mine. You're being nosy. Let's talk about music first.
Jing Tian couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

Zhou Yang sat down.
I ordered a simple coffee.
Jing Tian and Zeng Jia exchanged some polite words for a while.
Only then did we slowly get to the main topic.
"Junior, did you complete that song all by yourself?" Jing Tian asked.
"Yes." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Did you complete this all by yourself, and do you own all the copyrights?" Jing Tian asked again.
"Yes." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Junior's work is original, and no one else has anything to do with it?" Jing Tian blinked.
Zhou Yang shook his head and said:
"Of course not. Although I revised the lyrics more than ten times, all the copyrights are in my possession."
"You're really talented, junior," Zeng Jia said, resting her chin on her hand.
[Progress bar increased by 1%]
Zhou Yang smiled:
"No, no, I revised it many, many times."
Jing Tian said softly:
"Junior, to be honest, I really like the music you created."
"I called my junior here today because it's about music."
Zhou Yang joked:
"I thought my senior came here because of me?"
Jing Tian and Zeng Jia both covered their mouths and laughed.
"Junior, what price range do you have in mind? I'll buy it."
Jing Tian said earnestly.
"Bought it, the copyright?"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly.
Jing Tian nodded:
"Yes, copyright, fixed price. Once I buy it, the song is mine."
Zhou Yang touched his chin.
He certainly knew that music composers were much like screenwriters.
Before you sell it, you have the most say.
Just like when Jiang Wen saw his system script at the Grand Hotel.
Why rush to finish reading it, or even spend 10 yuan to buy the script from him?
Jiang Wen, a top-notch director, is very shrewd.
They were actually willing to pay 10 yuan to buy it.
Just for those few pages that I didn't see later.
Jiang Wen is a top-notch director who has won numerous awards.
If he had filmed "Waiting for You at the End of Time" first.
He also learned all the scenes from the Investiture of the Gods in the system script.
So...
Even if Zhou Yang talked his way out of it and made it to the media, no one would believe that the movie Jiang Wen made was plagiarized from Zhou Yang's script.
This is why Zhou Yang didn't let Jing Tian keep looking at the song lyrics at the time.
Just in case I remember it.
The lyrics, melody, and song title are all included; you can just sing it yourself.
Wouldn't Zhou Yang be in big trouble then?
A great grudge.
But the lyrics are different from the movie script.
Every single word must be correct, and every single tone must be correct.
This is why Zhou Yang dared to let Jing Tian see it directly.
he asked:
"Ya Dong Ge's 'Who Are You,' I suppose, was also sold to you?"
Jing Tian nodded and said:
"Yes, the copyright is with me now."
"So, you also want to buy 'The Wind Rises' directly?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Yes, junior, let's not beat around the bush, I can offer a higher price."
Jing Tian's expression was solemn: "But I must be the music copyright holder."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly:
"Let me think about it. Senior, please take a look at the song first."
Then, it was handed over.
Jing Tian answered quickly.
Those eyes were exceptionally bright, unable to conceal their joy.
"Let me take a look too."
Zeng Jia said happily.
Zhou Yang picked up his coffee and took a simple sip.
Judging from his pensive expression, he seemed to be thinking seriously.
That was made for Jing Tian and Zeng Jia to see.
Neither of them were fools. If Zhou Yang were to sell directly, he would likely blurt out a figure of tens of thousands.
It's not quite normal for him to act like a seasoned veteran.
At this moment, Zhou Yang was thinking about several ways for music creators to make money.
First, original musicians can attract a large fan base and generate revenue through music sales by creating high-quality music. This includes various methods such as digital albums, single downloads, and streaming.
