In the eyes of Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, Li Luo has indeed shown amazing talent in less than a year.

I wrote a few songs on hand, and one of them, "Rings of the Year," was popularly sung by Yuan Wanqing, which really surprised both the couple.

Later, I heard that several of Li Luo's remaining songs had also been bought by Yuan Wanqing. The couple only thought that the other party might have taken a fancy to the popularity of "Annual Rings", so they simply bought the remaining songs of Li Luo.

, maybe another song will become popular?

But……

A whole new album.

Nine songs.

All created by Li Luo?

This is completely different from what was said above!

Even for very well-known singers and songwriters, it's rare that an entire album is written by the same person.

Let alone a high school student.

Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling next to them were also as surprised as Li Guohong and his wife.

After all, in Xu Rongsheng's view, although Li Luo may indeed have a talent for writing songs, an occasional song is still acceptable.

He was more aware of Li Luo's attainments and level in online literature under the Internet paradigm.

But he never expected that Li Luo also had such a talent in song writing.

It was actually possible for a well-known singer to give full control over the production of his new album.

This is no ordinary trust.

"You may not know very well." Ying Zhicheng coughed twice, glanced at Li Luo with complicated eyes, and then explained, "The previous song "Rings of the Year" can also be said to be based on "Yao Chi Xian"

The traffic of the TV series "Fate" became popular."

"But the song "Waiting for You After Class" released by Li Luo a while ago was sung by himself, and the only publicity channel was his novel itself."

"But even so, the song "Waiting for You After Class" still rushed to the top of the new song chart, and within a week, it firmly occupied the top three positions."

"So Wanqing discussed it with me, including Li Luo's own suggestions, and we finally determined the promotion plan for the new album."

At this point, Ying Zhicheng also laughed and sighed at the boldness and avant-gardeness of this plan. After all, this is a publicity angle that is difficult for normal people to think of.

"To put it simply, when Wan Qing's new album is released, in addition to the normal publicity process, Li Luo will also have the heroine release the new album simultaneously in the book."

"The inside and outside of the book are synchronized, and the promotion is coordinated with each other."

Hearing this, Li Guohong and others suddenly looked surprised, and then they suddenly realized.

"This is really interesting." Xu Rongsheng couldn't help but say, "This kind of publicity plan... It's a pity that I am not a teacher of communication, otherwise I would definitely have students pay attention to your case. If it succeeds, I can at least write several articles.

Thesis."

When Li Luo heard this, he immediately twitched his lips, thinking that Uncle Xu really refused to let him go...

Why do you need to write an essay on everything?

No wonder Xu Youyu had a headache when he mentioned Xu Rongsheng in his last life.

Originally, I was worried about what to do if my writing of online articles was exposed.

Later, after the family accepted her daughter's writing of online articles, Xu Youyu had to worry about what to do as her father always used her books as examples and wrote one paper after another.

It's just that in this life, I stood up for my senior sister and was picked up by Xu Rongsheng as thesis material.

Thinking of this, Li Luo also had a headache and wondered whether he should find a chance to recommend "The Age of Literature" to Uncle Xu.

You can't always put yourself in the position of being injured, so Xu Youyu can just hide behind him and output?

It's somewhat unfair.

"So how are you preparing for the remaining three songs?" Yuan Wanqing looked at Li Luo, with some expectation in her eyes, and said with a smile, "The album recording of the six songs given to me has been almost completed.

, but if it’s going to be a competition, the arrangement will have to be made some adjustments.”

"Well..." Li Luo didn't want to shock the world too much, so he kept controlling the frequency of his singing.

At this time, there are still more than three months before the kick-off show on August 21, not to mention the last three songs. If we really have to wait for Yuan Wanqing to sing them in the subsequent show, it will have to be around October.

.

So Li Luo was not in a hurry, and just said: "I already have an idea, but I haven't finished writing it yet. Anyway, I will definitely get it done before August."

"Okay." Yuan Wanqing nodded with satisfaction, and then asked curiously, "But you said you have an idea, what exactly is it?"

When asked by Yuan Wanqing, Li Luo immediately pondered, then turned to look at Ying Zhicheng and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ying, do you have any specific terms in the contract with the program team?"

"For example, is there a rule in this competition that you will definitely lose or something like that?"

"Can Aunt Yuan be allowed to compete normally?"

Hearing what Li Luo said, Ying Zhicheng immediately understood what he meant, glanced at Yuan Wanqing, and then said with a smile: "Wanqing told me before, so when we negotiated the contract, we also discussed it with him."

"The competition can go on normally. As long as she performs well and gets the top four votes in the current period, she will be kicked out of the gym successfully."

"But at the beginning, the opponent just wanted to find an ordinary gym player and never thought about replacing him."

"Just in the middle of the show, a participating singer discussed with the program team that due to scheduling reasons, he might not be able to appear on the next few episodes of the show."

"So it's just in time for us."

After receiving this answer, Li Luo laughed, then looked at Yuan Wanqing, coughed twice and cleared his throat: "I checked the date before. If Aunt Yuan can stick to it, the penultimate program will happen to be National Day."

Holiday?"

"Well..." Yuan Wanqing took out her phone, pondered for a moment, checked it, and nodded, "Yes, it's October 2nd."

"For the first of the three songs, can I just write a song that is more about the feelings of family and country?" Li Luo asked, "Has Aunt Yuan tried this before?"

Yuan Wanqing frowned and shook her head, but then relaxed: "You can try it."

When she first debuted when she was young, the company created a sweet persona for her, so the songs she sang were either sweet love songs or lovelorn songs about a little girl.

Now she is older. Although she still looks about twenty-six or seven in her thirties, she is no longer a little girl after all.

Therefore, the overall style of the new album that I just came back with is more mature.

And for example, the six songs Li Luo has given her so far are basically not the type of songs she sang when she was young. They can be regarded as a transformation direction after her comeback.

"However," Yuan Wanqing reminded, "this type of song has advantages and disadvantages. You should try to write it out as soon as possible and let me review it."

"Okay." Li Luo nodded, and then said, "As for the next two songs, if Aunt Yuan can make it to the finals..."

"Um..." When Yuan Wanqing heard this, she laughed and shook her head, "I don't think the hope is very high. It's already pretty good if I can successfully compete in the gym."

"Don't belittle yourself." Ying Zhicheng said, "Listen to Li Luo's thoughts."

"My idea is very simple." Li Luo laughed, pointed to Yan Zhusheng who was sitting obediently next to him, and said, "If we can really enter the finals, how about asking Zhusheng to come on stage to help during the singing session?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Yan Zhusheng also blinked and was a little unresponsive for a moment.

It was Yuan Wanqing who came to her senses first and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure? What song must I sing with a bamboo sheng?"

"I have a song in my mind. Although it hasn't been formed yet, I think it's very suitable for Aunt Yuan and the Bamboo Sheng to sing together." Li Luo smiled, "And the effect of a mother-daughter duet should be pretty good too? But this still depends on Aunt Yuan.

What do you and Zhusheng think? It won’t be too late for you to decide after the song is written.”

Nowadays, Yuan Wanqing does not dare to underestimate Li Luo, especially since the song was written by someone else, and he will definitely have his own unique understanding.

Yuan Wanqing glanced at her daughter beside her, and seeing her eagerness to try, she laughed and said, "Okay, let's see when the time comes."

Li Luo nodded with satisfaction and finally said: "As for the last remaining song, I think it should be very suitable for Aunt Yuan herself."

"Then I'll look forward to it." Yuan Wanqing laughed.

She could be considered a person who had seen strong winds and waves, but facing Li Luo, when he said these words, she couldn't help but look forward to it.

I hope she won't be too disappointed.

"So..." At this time, when Li Guohong saw that they had finished chatting, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Can you let us listen to your songs first?"

"Okay." Yuan Wanqing nodded, "But it would be better to have an accompaniment, right? Well... singing a cappella is not impossible."

"Wait!" Ying Chanxi stood up on his own initiative, trotted towards the piano room, turned to Yuan Wanqing and said, "Auntie, wait a moment, we have a guitar here that you can use."

"Oh, that's okay." Yuan Wanqing nodded, and saw Ying Chanxi take out the expensive guitar from the piano room and hand it into his hand.

But when Yuan Wanqing hugged the guitar and subconsciously inspected it, the expression on her face was stunned.

Then she turned to look at Ying Zhicheng, narrowing her eyes slightly, with an unexplainable look in her eyes.

Ying Zhicheng was a little unresponsive, and he didn't understand what Yuan Wanqing's look meant at first.

But when his eyes fell on the guitar in Yuan Wanqing's hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but ask: "Xixi, isn't this the guitar I keep at home?"

"Yes." Ying Chanxi nodded innocently, "What's wrong?"

"No...so when did you bring it here?" Ying Zhicheng asked quickly.

"I brought it here last year." Ying Chanxi pointed at Li Luo, "Li Luo can play the guitar. I thought he might want to use it, so I brought it here. When the military training just started last year, he hugged me

I sang songs on our school playground with this guitar."

"Oh~" Yuan Wanqing nodded and chuckled, "I brought it last year."

"Cough, cough..." Ying Zhicheng coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Let's sing, sing. After singing for a while, I have to go back to the company in the afternoon."

"Okay." Yuan Wanqing hummed softly, holding the guitar and strumming the strings. Then she calmed down and stopped worrying about it with Ying Zhicheng for the time being. As the rhythm gradually picked up, she began to hum softly.

It's the song "Light Chaser" that she likes better.

Soon, the living room was immersed in Yuan Wanqing's singing.

Halfway through the song, she turned to Yan Zhusheng and winked, gesturing for her to join in.

At the end of the song, Li Luo also sang along, and Yuan Wanqing played the guitar to accompany them.

After singing several songs, Li Guohong and others were also filled with emotion.

"It's really good." Li Guohong patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky to be able to write a song for Aunt Yuan."

"You can't say that." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "I also want to thank Li Luo."

With that said, Yuan Wanqing handed the guitar to Li Luo, and then said: "You can continue to use this guitar."

Hearing Yuan Wanqing suddenly say this, Li Luo was stunned for a moment. After taking the guitar, he looked down at the guitar, then at Yuan Wanqing, then turned to look at Ying Zhicheng aside, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Could it be...

"Ahem... This guitar was given to me by Wan Qing before." Ying Zhicheng coughed and explained in a low voice, "But I don't usually need it, so it's okay for Xixi to give it to you."

"Yes." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "The guitar is just for playing. Your uncle Ying is usually very busy and probably doesn't have much time for it, so it's just right for you to use."

After listening to what these two people said, Li Luo finally came to his senses and then managed to smile twice.

Since Yuan Wanqing said so, Li Luo was not polite to them.

But in his heart, Li Luo still broke into a cold sweat for Ying Zhicheng.

The gift given by my partner was lent to other boys by my daughter... After Uncle Ying returns home this time, will he be teased by Aunt Yuan?

But they are both grown up, so they shouldn’t be angry over such a trivial matter, right?

On the other hand, Ying Chanxi on the side was very confused and couldn't help but look at Yuan Wanqing and then at Ying Zhicheng.

If it was a year ago, she might not have thought much about it, but then Li Luo told her that this guitar was quite expensive, and the normal purchase price would start at less than 10,000 yuan.

Could this be a casual gift from a normal friend?

However, considering that Aunt Yuan is not short of money and is an artist in her father's company, it is not incomprehensible to please her boss...

Just thinking of a woman giving such an expensive gift to her father, Ying Chanxi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But after all, Dad and Aunt Yuan were friends in private, so it was hard for Ying Chanxi to say anything.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing." Ying Zhicheng looked at Li Luo, then looked at Li Guohong, and reminded, "Li Luo's income is already quite high now. My suggestion is that you'd better give him a

A company.”

"He now earns a starting income of several million a year and pays tax directly according to his personal tax rate, which is a bit of a loss."

"Although the corporate tax is a little higher than that of a normal individual, it is definitely much better than a large personal income like his."

"And after you have a company, some things will become more convenient. In the future, you can also do business accounts directly with the company, such as signing agreements with him."

"Including Li Luo's income from royalties, if you ask your website that writes online articles, it should be possible to change the contract signed by the individual into an agreement signed with the company."

"Or you can sign an agency contract with the established company in your own name. There should be many ways."

"It just so happens that I want to sign another overall contract with you regarding the production of the new album, and clarify some copyright and sharing details."

"You guys can see when you are free and register the company first."

After being reminded by Ying Zhicheng, Li Luo reacted.

To be honest, the author’s personal remuneration and the tax rate set by the state are actually not high.

For example, last year, excluding the income from selling his songs, his income from royalties was probably only a few hundred thousand.

If this income were paid to ordinary workers, the taxes they would have to pay would also be quite high.

But he pays taxes at a constant tax rate of about 11%, and even according to national policies, there are corresponding tax refund benefits at the end of the year.

But this year, things are different.

Because since February, his monthly income has increased to hundreds of thousands. Even if you don't look at the income provided to him by Huayue Film and Television from the new album, the royalties alone are estimated to be several million in a year.

.

If the tax rate is calculated based on personal remuneration, then at the end of the year there will not be a tax refund, but a tax payment will be made honestly.

Thinking of this, Li Luo also nodded: "Well, I will ask the editor later to see if there is any precedent in this regard. As for the company's affairs..."

"You are not yet of age, so your parents have to handle this matter." Ying Zhicheng said, "If Lao Li is not familiar with it, I will ask my secretary to accompany you to operate it. Registering a company is quite simple."

"Okay, let me think about this matter." Li Guohong also heard the importance of this matter, nodded immediately and said, "But I won't bother you first, I will ask my brother, he used to do business.

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau here should have some connections."

"That's okay." Ying Zhicheng smiled, then patted Li Guohong on the shoulder, "Now that Li Luo has made a fortune, you two have stopped working on that breakfast shop. You just happened to set up a company, and you usually help Li Luo sign contracts.

Contracts and so on, by the way, I can provide some salary for myself and my sister-in-law, and it can also help him avoid taxes, so that I won’t have nothing to do.”

After hearing what Ying Zhicheng said, Li Luo thought this was a good idea.

Once the store is purchased and the company is established, my parents have nothing to do, so they go to the store for a walk to see how the business is going.

Go to my uncle's milk tea shop to order a cup of milk tea, blow on the air conditioner, and chat.

Li Luo had something to do here, so he asked his parents to sign the contract for him, which was something to do.

Thinking of this, Li Luo grinned, patted Li Guohong on the shoulder and teased: "Dad, you will also be the general manager of our company from now on. You will be on the same level as Uncle Ying. From now on, you can puff up your chest even when drinking and bragging."

Hearing this, Ying Zhicheng couldn't help but laugh, and then burst into laughter.

Li Guohong blushed at what he said, and said angrily: "You are not ashamed, you are just a small company, how can you compare with Lao Ying and others?"

"That's different." Ying Zhicheng said with a smile, "I'm just a high-level wage earner working for shareholders. A little equity dividend is the limit."

"If your Li Luo's songs become popular with Wan Qing in the future, I guess many people will come to him privately to invite him to sing."

"This book is also a hit now, and there may be a chance to sell the film and television rights in the future."

"I have inquired before that the current copyright fee for a work of his level is in the tens of millions at least."

"Once your company is established, with Li Luo as a cash cow, the valuation will not be low."

When Ying Zhicheng said this, both Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were a little dizzy, feeling as if they were about to fly into the sky all of a sudden.

Li Luo, on the other hand, remained awake. He coughed twice and reminded: "The online articles I copy are all entertainment works that exist in reality. The copyright is still difficult to sell and it is easy to have disputes."

"That's true." Ying Zhicheng pondered. He hadn't thought of this before, but then he said, "But you also have many original songs in your book, right?"

"At that time, it can actually be released as a standalone. Please pay attention when adapting it. Copyright issues can be easily avoided."

"even……"

Speaking of this, Ying Zhicheng's heart skipped a beat, and he actually felt a little moved.

He also asked his secretary to investigate Li Luo's novel, and it is now very popular on Qidian.com.

Qidian is now backed by Penguin and is the largest men’s website in China.

But for any book that becomes popular all over the Internet, the copyright price remains high.

"I'm Really Not a Celebrity" is an ambiguous copyright dispute. If you really want to sell the copyright, it's not impossible to sell it.

When Ying Zhicheng said this, Li Luo suddenly remembered.

Although when he entered the industry, there were basically no entertainment-themed popular books that could sell film and television rights.

Even just talking about urban themes, few can be sold. This theme is mostly reserved for female channels, and male channels’ urban stories are rarely considered when purchasing copyrights.

But in the early days, that is, at this stage, many film and television companies actually did not understand the specific chemical reaction between online literature and film and television, so they still purchased the copyrights of many popular books.

Among them was an entertainment-themed novel. Even though it was later blocked, the film and television rights were still sold, and it was even made into a TV series.

Thinking of this, Li Luo felt a little excited.

Ying Zhicheng also had similar thoughts to Li Luo.

Huayue Film and Television has entered the field of TV dramas in recent years, but it is actually a bit acclimatized.

Although it has produced one or two hit TV series, as well as some fan-oriented movies and TV series, it is far from being able to gain a firm foothold.

The previous "Yao Chi Xian Yuan" had a mixed reputation in terms of reputation, but the income was supported by the two young talents. It was not a huge profit, but it was acceptable.

There will be another urban romance drama "The Rest of My Life with You" during the summer vacation, and I don't know how it will perform.

But judging from the popularity of Li Luo's novel, the plot should be pretty good, right?

I don’t know what will happen if it is made into a TV series.

With this thought in mind, Ying Zhicheng's thoughts became more vivid.

However, these ideas were not very mature yet, so he did not continue.

Afterwards, the four families chatted on the sofa for a while, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, the parents left one after another.

Walking out of Bihailanting, Ying Zhicheng's driver was already waiting downstairs.

Yuan Wanqing opened the car door first and got in before Ying Zhicheng could open the door for him.

Ying Zhicheng quickly got into the back seat from the other side and explained in a low voice: "I usually leave it at home. I don't know when Xixi brought it here."

"I'm not angry." Yuan Wanqing crossed her arms and looked out the window indifferently, "You don't need it anyway."

"Ahem... you can't say that." Ying Zhicheng took the initiative to pull Yuan Wanqing's hand over and hold it, "After all, it is your birthday gift to me. How about I find an excuse to let Xixi get the guitar back?"

?”

"Forget it." Yuan Wanqing laughed and shook her head, "I will pay attention next time and try to give you something you can use. Just think of that guitar as a gift to Li Luo."

"so……"

"That's good." Yuan Wanqing turned her head and blocked his mouth, and then said, "A gift is just a gift. There is no need to attach too much special meaning to it. If you want, I can give you something else next time."

The driver sat in the driving seat and turned a deaf ear to the conversation in the back seat. He simply acted as if he heard nothing and drove the car steadily.

On the other side, Yan Zhusheng watched Li Luo carrying the guitar back to the piano room, and couldn't help but whisper to him: "Next time it's your birthday, I'll give you a new guitar."

Li Luo: "...Isn't this guitar good? It was a special gift from your mother."

"After all, it belongs to Uncle Ying." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "I will give you another one so that this guitar can be returned to Uncle Ying."

"What are you talking about?" Ying Chanxi just went to the toilet and asked curiously after walking out.

"It's nothing." Yan Zhusheng shut up immediately when he saw Ying Chanxi approaching.
