Chapter 624 How Can This Continue? (4000 Words)
As soon as he logged into QQ, Ye Ge received a letter from Yuan Mei.
The QQ letter attached a file that was the complete single of "The Lone Warrior".
After a while, Ye Ge received another text message from Zhu Meng: "Xiao Ye, I sent you the complete single. If you are not satisfied with anything, just call me directly and I will modify it as soon as possible."
Ye Ge listened to it twice and found that there was indeed no problem. It was completely at the record level.
Ye Ge sent a text message to Zhu Meng: "Sister Meng, I have received the song. I just listened to it twice. It is very good and there is no problem."
Zhu Meng replied immediately: "That's good. I was worried about delaying your work."
Ye Ge replied: "How could it be? Sister Meng has helped us so much. Sister Meng doesn't need to be so tired. It doesn't matter if Sister Meng is a few days late. I am not that anxious."
Zhu Meng shook her head on the other end of the phone: "That won't work. I can't delay your work. Okay, since there is no problem with this song, that's it. I'm a little tired today. I'm going to sleep first. Contact me if you have anything."
Ye Ge: "Thank you, Sister Meng."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ge logged into Su Yue's QQ Music account, entered the creator background, and uploaded the song. The name was naturally called "The Lone Hero (League of Legends: The Battle of Two Cities) Theme Song".
Soon, the song "The Lone Hero" entered the special background review channel of QQ Music.
If nothing unexpected happens, the director of QQ Music will call himself or Xiao Yue tomorrow morning.
But this time, Ye Ge took the initiative to call the director of QQ Music.
"Hello, Mr. Ye." Bai Meng answered the phone almost immediately.
"Good evening, Director Bai, I didn't disturb you, did I?" Ye Ge's tone was a little apologetic. Under normal circumstances, he would not call others at 9:30.
But Bai Meng was different.
As a music director of an Internet company, it was no problem for Ye Ge to call Bai Meng at 11 o'clock.
Because at this time, the employees of Internet companies must not sleep, and some people may even work overtime.
Of course, no matter what, calling at night is calling at night, which is not good after all, so the premise of your call must be something important, otherwise people will definitely have opinions about you.
"No, no, I'm still working overtime in the company." Bai Meng said with a smile, his tone was full of politeness, and even a little awe.
In fact, Bai Meng was also quite emotional in his heart.
Two years ago, Ye Ge was just a fledgling pop music composer.
If you have to say it, he is still Ye Ge's boss.
As a result, Ye Ge has now founded Bilibili and Mihuyou, and even invested in some other emerging companies. His current net worth has exceeded 10 billion, and he is among the top 100 in China.
This is something Bai Meng never expected.
Now, his status and position are completely incomparable to Ye Ge.
I heard that his top boss, Mr. Ma, still favors Ye Ge. The contract signed by Ye Ge and Teacher Mu Yue with QQ Music is now the highest contract agreement of QQ Music, and there is only one copy.
This is not because Ye Ge and Su Yue are very famous, nor because their songs are very popular.
It is because Mr. Ma's secretary once called QQ Music and expressed his willingness to give Ye Ge and Ye Shu some convenience.
Even from the mouth of the secretary in the toilet, Bai Meng vaguely realized that if QQ Music did not play an important role in the future cultural path of Penguin, otherwise, Bai Meng felt that Mr. Ma would give QQ Music to the other party.
Bai Meng sometimes doubts.
Could it be that Ye Ge is Mr. Ma's son-in-law?
Or is Ye Ge actually Mr. Ma's illegitimate son?
This idea has been buried in Bai Meng's heart, and the more Bai Meng thinks about it, the more possible it seems.
"Director Bai is so hard-working, still working overtime so late." Ye Ge continued to follow Bai Meng politely.
"There is no way, Mr. Ye is also in the Internet industry, and he also knows that in our industry, overtime is indeed very serious, but fortunately, the overtime pay is not bad." Bai Meng said with a smile.
"Hahaha, then Director Bai, do you want to come to our product operation department at Bilibili? Our overtime at Bilibili is not that serious, and the salary you offer will definitely satisfy you, Director Bai." Ye Ge said with a smile.
Bai Meng was stunned for a moment and declined politely: "Mr. Ye, you are joking. QQ Music has been expanding its business. Now it is short of manpower. How can I leave? Besides, I am a musician. Even if I want to go, my major is not suitable.
Besides, I am not young anymore and I am not prepared. I will just stay here and wait until I retire."
As he spoke, Bai Meng took the initiative to change the subject, fearing that Ye Ge would continue to recruit him. He did not want to go and made the relationship between the two stiff: "Mr. Ye called me, so there must be something, right? Could it be that Mr. Ye missed me?"
"I do miss Director Bai, but there are indeed some things." Ye Ge said in a light tone, and no longer mentioned asking Bai Meng to come to his B station.
In fact, Ye Ge did not want Bai Meng to come to B station at all.
The reason is very simple.
Although Bai Meng is very capable at work, B station is not so short of people now.
And he and Bai Meng are more familiar with each other.
From now on, when Bai Meng is in QQ Music, it will be easier for him to do it if he needs help from others.
If another leader comes to take charge of him, even though the other party will be fine, he will definitely not be that flexible in handling things.
As for why Ye Ge said this, why did he invite Bai Meng to his company?
This is naturally because he is being polite, and it also gives him face, showing that he really appreciates his abilities.
As for whether Bai Meng would actually come to Station B after Ye Ge invited him, Ye Ge felt that this was absolutely impossible.
Nowadays, the development momentum of q music is getting better and better, and its market share is getting larger and larger.
Bai Meng's salary must have risen with the tide.
When he came to Station B, he really might not be able to offer a salary much higher than that of QQ Music. Bai Meng also knew this.
"Mr. Ye, you're welcome. Just say it directly," Bai Meng said.
"Well, I just released a single, but this single is the theme song of the animation "League of Legends Battle of Two Cities".
Director Bai should know about League of Legends, right?
This animation is a spin-off of League of Legends and is produced by our B station.
This time, the production company asked me to write a song. I happened to have already recorded this song and posted it on the backend of QQ Music.
The copyright belongs to me, Su Yue and the League of Legends.
Because it’s better to promote it earlier.
But because of this, the three parties have not had time to communicate and the contract has not been signed, which is a bit embarrassing.
So what I’m thinking is, if Director Bai believes in me, can you help us take some recommended spots first? Then create some excitement, and if there is a contract, we will make up for it later. "
Ye Ge, what I said to Bai Meng was very polite.
If the song "Lonely Warrior" does not involve the League of Legends, then it would be okay, as long as it follows the previously signed contract.
But because it involves "League of Legends", and "League of Legends" has not signed a contract with QQ Music.
Once the contract is signed and coordinated, it will probably take another week or two.
So it's better to just "cut it first and tell it later".
Let’s get this song up first. After it’s up, we’ll talk about the income from this song later.
To do this requires business trust from both parties.
"No problem, no problem." After listening to Ye Ge's words, Bai Meng also knew where the difficulty lies. "If it were someone else, then this matter would indeed be more troublesome, but I believe Mr. Ye can definitely adjust it." OK."
Ye Ge: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a contract that is satisfactory to both parties. This matter will be troublesome."
Bai Meng: "Mr. Ye, you're too polite."
Ye Ge: "That's it. I won't disturb Director Bai for now. Director Bai also needs to take a good rest and not overwork himself."
Bai Meng: "Okay, okay, Mr. Ye too, pay more attention to rest."
After the two parties exchanged a few final words of greetings, they hung up the phone.
The matter regarding this song is basically settled.
The subsequent formulation of the contract is also simple.
In the end, it will definitely be a win-win result for everyone. It is just a matter of time. After all, Riot Games will send people over.
Even if the final result may not be very good, you can still give away part of the benefits to win the favor of both parties.
Even if the two parties can negotiate, he will transfer his part of the rights to the songs to QQ Music.
If it were in the past, I might have been worried about everything. After all, I was short of money at that time, and I needed money to start a business. More entrepreneurial capital would make it less difficult.
But now, the value of a song is no longer important to me.
The total revenue of this song in ten years may not be comparable to the current revenue of Angry Birds in one month.
Ye Ge played "Lonely Brave" again.
At this time, Xu Xin just finished taking a shower, walked out of the bathroom, and returned to the room.
Xu Xin was wearing a white bath towel, her slightly damp hair scattered on her shoulders. She wiped it with the towel and walked to Ye Ge's side.
Xu Xin's figure was already good, and she was of the tall type. Once she was wrapped in this bath towel, it highlighted her graceful figure, especially when her delicate shoulders and white thighs were exposed. A different kind of allure.
What's more, Xu Xin has the blessing of age, which gives her a light and mature flavor. Her hair is still slightly moist, and her cheeks have a slight blush from taking a hot bath.
At this time, Xu Xin is simply more attractive than wearing QQ underwear.
Ye Ge once read a saying - "A bath towel is the best uniform."
This sentence is indeed true.
Although Ye Ge just studied with Xu Xin once before, now Ye Ge wants to study with Xu Xin again.
Xu Xin seemed to notice the heat in Ye Ge's gaze, and played with the long hair beside her ears with her sleeves, and sat on Ye Ge's lap.
Ye Ge was a little tired because he had studied before and wanted to relax.
But now, Ye Ge suddenly had the desire to learn again.
And this desire to learn is very strong.
"What song is this? It's quite nice." Xu Xin looked at the computer screen and blinked slightly.
"This song is the theme song of "Battle of Two Cities" that I just recorded today." Ye Ge glanced down, and the snow-white canyon was vaguely visible.
"Yeah" Xu Xin nodded, "Although I don't really like the style of this song, I think it's a good song and it fits the story of the Battle of Two Cities very well."
As the director of operations, Xu Xin naturally knows what the "Battle of Two Cities" is. Xu Xin has even read the script of the Battle of Two Cities.
But what surprised Xu Xin was that the song "Battle of Two Cities" was produced so quickly.
"I believe in your vision. Since you think it's good, there must be nothing wrong with it."
Ye Ge hugged Xu Xin's slim waist with one hand that was very dishonest.
"Uh-huh." Xu Xin's pretty face turned red, and she glared at Ye Ge with an irritated look, but didn't say anything.
"Would you like to study again? There are still a few books that you haven't finished reading." Ye Ge said in Xu Xin's ear, and the gentle wind of his voice blew Xu Xin's ears.
Xu Xin nodded.
Ye Ge picked up Xu Xin and continued to study.
Early in the morning, Ye Ge sat up from the bed.
After a night of studying, Ye Ge felt that he was still full of energy.
Xu Xin was lying on the bed, because she read the words too seriously, and even her voice became hoarse at the end.
There seems to be some water stains on the chair. I don’t know if I accidentally spilled the mineral water while studying last night or something.
Because Xu Xin had a day off today, Ye Ge returned to the company alone.
Before leaving, Ye Ge fried two eggs and steamed two steamed buns for Xu Xin for breakfast.
After Ye Ge left, Xu Xin slowly opened her eyes and got off the bed.
Xu Xin got dressed, looked at the mess in the room, and started cleaning.
Just as he was cleaning, Xu Xin's cheeks became redder and redder. Xu Xin could not face the traces left by studying last night.
After cleaning the room, Xu Xin washed up and went to the living room. She saw poached eggs, steamed buns and a note on the living room table that said "Put the rice porridge in the rice cooker."
Xu Xin took out the rice porridge from the rice cooker and ate it in small bites.
But after a while, I thought about my relationship with Ye Ge, and I have become more and more unscrupulous when studying recently, and my dependence on Ye Ge seems to be getting deeper and deeper.
Xu Xin, who was wearing a shirt, frowned, held the chopsticks tightly with her little hands, and couldn't help but sigh:
"What's going to happen if this continues?"
