At this moment, Li Dayue was receiving them, but Li Dayue was cursing Su Yu in his heart for being a monster and not leaving a way out for them, these old-timers!
After all, even though Li Dayue had been in the music industry for many years, he had never seen a lyricist and composer like Su Yu, who produced new works in such a crazy, massive way.
And every single one was of such high quality; it was truly going to kill them, these seniors in the music industry!
So, when Su Yu said he was going to find inspiration instead of coming to work, he really was looking for inspiration, huh?
First, there were four songs with two sets of lyrics for Chen Yixun, and then there was one song each for Xie Jie and Hu Zhixuan. The speed of his creation truly made Li Dayue's jaw drop.
However, he only needed to be responsible for signing the contracts. After all, when Su Yu collaborated with outside singers, Tianxing would not receive any download revenue; it was completely working for free.
Of course, relatively speaking, Tianxing Entertainment would also not provide any promotion or publicity resources for these two songs.
It's really hard to say who lost out in the end.
At least other lyricists and composers needed a big backer like Tianxing to expend manpower and resources for promotion, but Su Yu? Obviously, he didn't need to.
However, when Li Dayue finished listening to the demos of these two songs, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Because he suddenly thought of an order from a game company. This game company was about to launch a brand new game and hoped that Tianxing Entertainment could write a good promotional song for them.
Moreover, the operations manager of this game company directly requested Su Yu to write it, even offering a sky-high customization fee of 5 million chinese yuan.
It was impossible for Li Dayue not to remember; he had been hesitating about when to tell Su Yu about this matter, and now wasn't this perfect? He felt that reverse war, which Su Yu wrote for Xie Jie, was very suitable!
But the bad thing was that this song was reserved by Su Yu for Xie Jie to perform in The King of Singers semi-finals. He didn't know if this would conflict with the game's launch time!
After signing the contracts, Li Dayue smiled and kept Xie Jie and Hu Zhixuan, inviting them to have lunch at the company's cafeteria.
As for him, during his free time, he made a phone call to Su Yu.
At this moment, Su Yu, who had just finished lunch, was practicing singing with Han Jiangxue. He was responsible for playing the piano accompaniment, while Han Jiangxue sang.
The moment the phone rang, seeing that it was a call from Director Li, Su Yu's face immediately darkened!
This Director Li, he's truly a persistent ghost!
Su Yu helplessly gestured to Jiang Xue to pause for a while, and then he answered the phone: "Director Li, what's the matter?"
Su Yu's tone clearly carried some anger, but Director Li had something on his mind and didn't notice it.
"It's like this, didn't you write a song called reverse war for Xie Jie? The company just received an order for a game promotional song, and I think this song is quite suitable. The game company offered 5 million, and they even specified that you write this song. This money, we might as well earn it!"
Director Li explained the whole story, but Su Yu's expression became even uglier: "Director Li, are you asking me to sell one song twice? What are you thinking? If I do this, what will Xie Jie think of me? To make money for the company, you really go to great lengths." Su Yu retorted to Director Li a few times, feeling much better.
"What's the big deal? As long as Xie Jie agrees, won't it be fine? I'll go talk to him about it! And with the buzz and promotion from the game's launch, the exposure of this song will be even better! Xie Jie will earn even more then, so what does he have to refuse? The only thing to consider now is the game's launch time. If the two times are too far apart, then there's nothing we can do."
Director Li obviously had his own ideas. He had been in this industry for so many years and clearly knew more than Su Yu.
"Alright, go communicate with Xie Jie and the game company. Don't bother me again these next few days. The cost of you interrupting my inspiration is far greater than five million! I give up on you." Su Yu hung up the phone after speaking.
However, facing Su Yu's complaints, Director Li wasn't angry at all.
He would receive a certain percentage of every song from the Music Department. Was he wrong to want to save more for his retirement?
If he didn't care about his reputation, he wouldn't even want to retire. After all, with Su Yu, this living signboard, in the Tianxing Music Department now, the percentage he could receive every month was something he couldn't even imagine before!
However, he also knew that his abilities were no longer sufficient, and leaving this position was only a matter of time. So why should he occupy the position without doing anything?
Did he have to wait for the higher-ups to order his transfer and departure? Moreover, after Su Yu is promoted to a senior lyricist and composer, he might directly take charge of Tianxing's Music Department!
Li Dayue was quite convinced to yield his position to Su Yu.
And what's wrong with excellent lyricists and composers having a big temper? When he was young, he was even more ruthless than Su Yu.
At that time, if anyone dared to interrupt his creation, he could hit them over the head with a guitar! That was a truly crazy era.
Li Dayue successively discussed the song reverse war with the game company and Xie Jie.
The game company was a bit hesitant at first, but after hearing the song's demo, they directly nodded and agreed.
They even decided to set the game's launch date on the same day as The King of Singers semi-finals.
And Xie Jie, on his part, would not refuse. Just as Director Li analyzed, with the game company's promotion and publicity, he would gain more benefits.
He might even jump to become the spokesperson for this game.
Of course, these were all future matters. This still required him to record the song as soon as possible before discussing it further.
After everything was settled, Li Dayue also became smarter. This time, he only sent Su Yu a green bubble message and did not call to deliver the good news.
At this moment, Su Yu glanced at the message and didn't reply.
The two continued to practice singing in the living room, but this time it was Jiang Xue playing and singing by herself.
Perhaps everyone's matters piled up today, as soon as Su Yu saw Director Li's message, his phone rang again.
This time it was Chief Editor Wu Yue of Shengshi Fenghua!
"Sigh~!" Su Yu sighed and answered the phone.
"Su Yu, your physical book sales have exploded! Sales in three days have already exceeded 200,000 copies! The first batch of 50,000 copies has already been sent out, and the company expects that your book will sell at least 300,000 copies this time!"
Wu Yue's excited voice came through, and even Jiang Xue, who was sitting at the piano, heard it.
And this sales number also shocked Su Yu a bit after he heard it.
The truth is, it's no longer the era of physical books. Now, if a new physical book can sell tens of thousands of copies, it's already considered high sales.
Su Yu really didn't expect that "amorous swordsman ruthless sword" would be so popular!
"Oh, and Su Yu, there's another reason for this call. The website hopes you can hold a few book signing events. Compared to physical books, fans obviously prefer to get your signed books! This can also boost sales. What do you think?" Wu Yue explained his other intention.
