My singer girlfriend is super fierce

December 28, three days before New Year's Day.

After the script of "The Return of the Great Sage" was finalized, Ye Zhiqiu and Liu Minkang came to Shangjing City.

The new movie will use the soundtrack from the 1986 classic "Journey to the West", and copyright authorization is required.

The composer is named Li Haicheng, a well-known senior in the industry. He is now in his seventies. To show respect, Ye Zhiqiu decided to go there in person.

Coincidentally, Huahai Entertainment Professor Liu Minkang knew Li Haicheng, so they came together.

In the car, the teacher and the student chatted, and Liu Minkang suddenly asked: "Are you still practicing the piano?"

Ye Zhiqiu was startled and said honestly: "I've been busy recently and haven't practiced every day."

"But I take time to play it every week to keep my touch."

Liu Minkang nodded and sighed: "In fact, I always think you are very talented in classical music, but it's a pity that you didn't take this path in the end."

"After you composed the piano pieces "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "A Record of the Western Regions", if you continue to work hard and hold concert tours around the world, maybe China will have another classical master in the future."

Ye Zhiqiu looked embarrassed at Liu Minkang's sigh and could only say: "Teacher, I'm not bad this way. If I take the classical path, I don't know if I can be rated as a master in ten years. Now I am internationally renowned in pop music."

Liu Minkang nodded, knowing that what Ye Zhiqiu said was not unreasonable.

Although classical music is the highest temple of music, it is still a niche circle. In terms of public acceptance and universality, there is a gap with pop music.

With Ye Zhiqiu's current status in the music industry, tens of thousands of people can watch any concert he holds, which can drive tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds. This scale is incomparable to classical music.

From this perspective, pop music is indeed a better direction.

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu had decided on this path before he went to graduate school, but Liu Minkang later found that his talent in classical music was not only "a little bit", but "amazing", and his mentality changed.

However, Liu Minkang obviously did not give up completely. He thought for a while and said, "Are you free in mid-January?"

"The school is going to host a classical piano music exchange meeting, and several famous foreign universities will visit. When the time comes, you will come back as an outstanding graduate alumnus to participate?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought about it. The TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is scheduled to be released in mid-January, and "Crazy Stone" will also start to be promoted during the Spring Festival.

There is also this year's Spring Festival Gala, but Song Mei mentioned to me a few days ago that I will most likely be on the final guest list, so I have to prepare the program and rehearse...

Just a little thought, as if I can feel how busy I will be in the future, Ye Zhiqiu is a little overwhelmed.

However, no matter how busy Liu Minkang and his alma mater are, they must make time. Ye Zhiqiu promised: "No problem, I will arrange the time in advance."

Liu Minkang nodded with relief, and at the end he also reminded: "Take more time to practice the piano during this period, you may have to play on the stage."

Ye Zhiqiu agreed, and while talking, the business car had already entered an old city area.

Turning left and right on the not-so-wide road, Ye Zhiqiu and Liu Minkang finally got off in front of a residential building.

The old residential building in front of him is a bit like the old one in Hanjiang City. Ye Zhiqiu guessed that this should also be the unit's housing distribution decades ago.

As if seeing what Ye Zhiqiu was thinking, Liu Minkang explained: "Old Li used to be in the art troupe."

Ye Zhiqiu understood, and the two of them stepped into the elevator installed on the side of the building, came to the sixth floor, and knocked on one of the doors.

"I'm here!" As the door was opened, Ye Zhiqiu saw the person he was visiting - Senior Li Haicheng.

He had gray hair, was not tall and a little thin, and wore a pair of reading glasses. He had the temperament of a gentle scholar.

"Hahaha, Old Liu, a rare guest." Li Haicheng saw Liu Minkang and laughed, "Please come in, please come in."

"The old lady is busy. I heard that there are guests coming, so I want to show you my special dishes..."

Several people walked into the living room. The decoration inside the house was not luxurious, but it was clean and tidy with a cultural atmosphere.

After a simple greeting, Li Haicheng looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked kindly, "Who is this?"

Liu Minkang smiled and said, "Ye Zhiqiu, my student, grandson-in-law, you can just call me Xiao Ye."

"What?" Li Haicheng was stunned and said in astonishment, "When did you have a grandson-in-law? How come I didn't know?"

"I haven't heard that there will be wedding wine. Did you forget me?"

Liu Minkang waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, no, it hasn't been held yet. You will be indispensable at that time."

"..." Li Haicheng was speechless.

What are you saying when there is no wine?Awesome!

According to the saying in the countryside, marriage is considered to be after worshipping heaven and earth and holding a wedding banquet, and not even getting a marriage certificate. You haven't even started yet!

Although he was complaining in his heart, Li Haicheng was also very curious: Who is this young man? How could Liu Minkang value him so much? It seems that he has vaguely heard the name "Ye Zhiqiu" somewhere?

After the greetings, Liu Minkang stopped joking and said, "It's like this, Zhiqiu has a studio under his name, and he is preparing to shoot an animated film based on Journey to the West..."

After Liu Minkang roughly explained the purpose of this trip, Ye Zhiqiu added, "Teacher Li, the soundtrack of the 1986 version of Journey to the West is a classic in the hearts of several generations, especially the part where Sun Wukong appears, so we really hope to use it in the movie."

Hearing this, Li Haicheng understood, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while and asked, "What is the story of your... animated film? Do you have a script to read?"

"Yes." Ye Zhiqiu was prepared and quickly took out the script he carried with him.

Li Haicheng took it, paused on the title of "The Return of the Great Sage" on the cover, and opened the script.

Seeing the words on the homepage, "If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world; if I become a demon, what can Buddha do to me?", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but praise "good words" before looking down.

At this time, the old man's eyes were already impatient.

The living room fell into silence. During this time, an old lady who came out of the kitchen was about to say something, but when she saw Li Haicheng's state, she took back her words and greeted Liu Minkang and Ye Zhiqiu kindly.

"Good! The story is well written!"

After a while, Li Haicheng finally took his eyes off the script and said directly, "You can use the music."

Ye Zhiqiu's face was happy, and he hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Teacher Li."

"You're welcome. It's been so long since I wrote these songs. It's a good thing to be able to use some of my remaining energy." Li Haicheng waved his hand and sighed.

"To be honest, after reading this story, I felt like I was back to the time when I composed the soundtrack for Journey to the West. At that time, I felt like there was a fire burning in my heart and my blood was boiling."

Ye Zhiqiu laughed and said, "Teacher Li, that's not just about making use of my remaining energy."

"If those god-level soundtracks were really gone, I think the effect of the work would definitely be greatly reduced. They are indispensable."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu paused and asked, "As for the copyright royalties...Teacher Li, how do you think it would be appropriate to charge?"
