Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060
The producer certainly knew the importance of a song’s copyright to a singer, and he would definitely not use friendship to coerce Feng Yongrui, forcing an old friend to sell the song’s copyright to himself.
Doing so would not only raise questions about whether he could actually acquire the copyright of "Bai Hu" in the end, but also what Divine Melody Envoy was thinking, whether he might demand an exorbitant price later, and on which side Feng Yongrui would stand when the time came—it was truly a troublesome matter.
Therefore, following Feng Yongrui’s suggestion, the producer let him first call to inquire about Divine Melody Envoy’s wishes. Of course, the producer was determined to acquire the song, for "Bai Hu," if used as the theme song for the legend of White Fox, would certainly elevate the drama to new heights. Moreover, Divine Melody Envoy’s popularity could also significantly boost the popularity of the legend of White Fox. As a leading figure in the industry, the producer would certainly not blunder.
When Feng Yongrui’s call came through, Li Changlin had already gone offline and shut off his phone, ready to rest with Ye Xiyao.
Seeing Feng Yongrui calling so late, Li Changlin was somewhat startled but still answered the phone.
Feng Yongrui informed Li Changlin of the producer’s intention to buy the copyright of "Bai Hu" and mentioned his twenty years of friendship with the producer, hoping that Mr. Li would save him face and name a reasonable price to transfer "Bai Hu" to the other party.
Upon reflection, Li Changlin knew that the matter of the copyright could not be transferred lightly, but since the other party was Feng Yongrui’s close friend, he indeed needed to show some respect. Thus, he said he would allow them to use the song for free, but the singer of this song had to be of his own choosing.
Li Changlin’s request was not excessive, and it already showed considerable respect for Feng Yongrui.
Just think, I’m not even charging a usage fee for the copyright, allowing them to use it for free. It shouldn’t be too much to make a small request, right?
Feng Yongrui asked which singer Li Changlin intended to choose, and Li Changlin decisively named Ye Xiyao.
Ye Xiyao had just said she liked the song very much, and Li Changlin was of course willing to give this opportunity to his beloved daughter.
Upon hearing this name, Feng Yongrui immediately knew that it could not be changed. If his old friend did not agree, it was likely that Li Changlin would not release the rights to the song.
As Feng Yongrui could not make this decision alone, he asked Li Changlin to hold on while he called his producer friend and conveyed Li Changlin’s requirements to him.
Originally, the producer had planned to promote his own artists, but now that Divine Melody Envoy wished for Ye Xiyao to sing the song, it did not cause him any aversion.
Ye Xiyao was a Heavenly Queen superstar, and the producer had some previous collaborations with her, so he felt no resistance towards her.
More importantly, if Ye Xiyao were willing to help him sing the theme song for the legend of White Fox, then it would significantly elevate the prestige of the drama.
Such a windfall was naturally not to be rejected by the producer, and thus a tripartite agreement was reached. After hanging up the phone, the producer immediately called Bai Ziyu’s cellphone.
At that moment, Bai Ziyu was reading in her room, and she was somewhat startled by the producer’s call.
Nevertheless, since it was about contacting Ye Xiyao, she did not give it much thought and walked out of the bedroom to hand the phone to Ye Xiyao.
In fact, Ye Xiyao had been by Li Changlin’s side the whole time. She obviously knew the producer’s intention and was thus very pleased to accept his invitation.
In this way, everyone involved was pleased. However, Li Changlin was not content with just the status quo; he wanted to take this opportunity to promote "Bai Hu" even further.
This was an excellent chance. Li Changlin immediately instructed Feng Yongrui to sign the relevant agreement with the producer. In fact, Sky Horse Records had a template for such contracts, which could be signed after minor changes.
Following Li Changlin’s instructions, Feng Yongrui sent a fax to the producer, and both parties signed the agreement, formalizing the collaboration.
Li Changlin then had Feng Yongrui call Brother Live Stream to inform them that Divine Melody Envoy’s "Bai Hu," favored by White Fox’s performance, had caught the attention of the legend of White Fox’s production team. Sky Horse Records had already signed the relevant usage agreement with the production team. This announcement to Brother Live Stream was also to express gratitude to the platform, inquiring if they would be willing to sponsor a friendly advertisement for the drama.
Brother Live Stream wouldn’t refuse such a positive development. The platform’s top executives immediately called an urgent meeting and accepted Feng Yongrui’s proposal with great pleasure.
Before long, the front page of Brother Live Stream featured a recommendation for "Bai Hu", with text stating that Divine Melody Envoy composed and wrote "Bai Hu," and the song, originally sung by White Fox, had been chosen as the theme song for the legend of White Fox drama series, with the performer being Ye Xiyao.
Such news stirred a thousand waves!
Setting aside the recently hyped legend of White Fox, the mere mention of Divine Melody Envoy and Ye Xiyao was enough to dazzle many.
Brother Live Stream was reciprocating the favor, as Sky Horse had given them a great promotional opportunity. They naturally had to go all out in support, and White Fox gained massive benefits in return!
With this, everyone involved was happy and gained something in the process.
"Damn, my man, White Fox is on the cover page!"
"No way, didn’t White Fox just premiere today? How did it hit the cover page so fast?"
"Indeed, my god, ’Bai Hu’ has partnered with the legend of White Fox, becoming the drama’s theme song. Damn, Ye Xiyao is going to sing ’Bai Hu’, my goodness, Ye Xiyao is my idol!"
"Bullshit, White Fox, you’re going to be famous!"
"White Fox is so amazing, even Ye Xiyao is covering your song."
"Haha, my White Fox became famous overnight. From now on, who in the world won’t know you? Mention White Fox, and people will say even Ye Xiyao covered it!"
"Whahaha, White Fox sings ’Bai Hu,’ stirring up the legend of White Fox to invite Ye Xiyao for the cover, Divine Melody Envoy must be chuckling secretly behind the scenes!"
"Er, I’m laughing too."
"Alright, you’re awesome!"
"All talk is cheap, brothers, sisters, let’s send some gifts to celebrate White Fox’s instant success!"
In White Fox’s live stream room, many people were truly dancing with excitement. This was indeed great news.
Looking at the chat channel’s comments, White Fox was initially a bit overwhelmed, then she quickly clicked on the platform’s homepage.
When she saw her avatar in the featured spot, and when she read the words beneath her avatar, White Fox felt her eyes grow somewhat sore at that moment, suddenly overwhelmed by the urge to cry.
