chapter 45

Director Zhou  had decided on the 2,000 yuan per song price ahead of time .  

She had done some research ahead of time . This Su Ran did not have any published work previously and was a completely unheard-of creator .  

People like her had neither fame nor familiarity with the industry . She just needed to throw something out and perhaps she’d just accept her offer gratefully .  

Work was work and finance was finance . It was her job to minimize the cost and maximize the company’s profit margin . She had done this many times in the past .  \nWhat Director Zhou had not expected was how pretty Su Ran was . She was very different from the other artists that she had met in the past, and her temperament was quite outstanding as well .  

“Pssst…” Su Ran busted out laughing after she heard Director Zhou’s words .  

Two thousand yuan? Did she think she was an idiot or that she didn’t know the industry at all?

Back in her days, she would be offered 1M yuan and it would have to depend on her mood .  

Even after she had transmigrated into a novel, Su Ran was still pretty confident in her own work .  

Director Zhou oddly felt a sense of guilt when she heard Su Ran’s laugh .  

“Ahem . If you didn’t like the price, we can talk about it . Aft… after all, we have seen the quality of your music . \n“How about this? I can make the decision to pay you 4,000 yuan each . That should work right? Let’s sign the contract now . ”

“I don’t think your company wants to buy my music . Thank you for your time . ” Having said that, Su Ran got up and prepared to leave .  

Seeing that, Director Zhou’s face changed colors and she quickly stopped Su Ran .

“Wait!

“We are very sincere in our intention to purchase your music, Ms . Su . If you didn’t like the price, why don’t you tell us what you have in mind?”

“200K yuan each and it’s not full rights . $2M is only for the music . Royalty for the online version is 10,000 yuan/ year and 15,000 yuan for offline,” said Su Ran . She quoted her the prices before she had become famous . \nDirector Zhou, hearing Su Ran’s words, her eyes widened greatly . She finally realized that she wasn’t talking to a newbie, she was talking to a professional .  

Except that, 200K yuan?! And not full rights?

That was the price they’d pay someone of the master level!

“Ms . Su, if you can name these prices, then I trust that you are aware that 200,000 yuan is the pricing of a master in the industry . If we are to pay 200 yuan, we can totally buy the work of a master,” said Director Zhou in a deep voice .  

“I also trust that you have a pretty good idea of whether my songs are worth that . It’s up to you whether to purchase them or not . I will give you three days . Three days later, I will submit them to other companies or studios . ” Having said that, Su Ran turned and left . Leaving Director Zhou with the Buy-It-Or-Not-I-Really-Don’t-Care attitude .

She only submitted to Shengding back then because Shengding was large and rich and that she would be able to sell all ten of them together and save herself a lot of hassle .  

“Ms . Su, 50,000 yuan . 50,000 yuan each should work, right?” said Director Zhou behind Su Ran again .  

The 10 songs had already ended up on the conference table, and the company must purchase them . A few of them had already been purchased by singers’ agents through internal channels .  

But there was no way Director Zhou would pay an unknown artist 200,000 yuan for one song .  

This time, Su Ran didn’t even stop after she heard Director Zhou’s voice but walked straight out of her office .  

As soon as she had stepped out, she almost bumped into another person .  

“I’m sor… “

“It’s you?!”
