An assistant in the front passenger seat looked at the towering hotel building in front of him and said,"Teacher Liu, it seems that Du Yimeng and Young Master Ye have a special relationship. He invited us here today to let Du Yimeng advance smoothly in The Voice of China, right?”
In this society, it wasn't unusual for rich people to support a few celebrities. Ye Xuan was quite wealthy, and Du Yimeng was quite good-looking. In order to make Du Yimeng famous, it was normal to spend tens of millions to bribe a mentor.
The driving assistant smiled bitterly and shook his head."I don't think things are that simple. Didn't Young Master Ye say that he wanted to talk about cooperation? They should be asking Teacher Liu to be their spokesperson!”
"Don't make wild guesses. Since we're here, let's take it as it is. Let's see what Young Master Ye plans to do later!”
After the car stopped, Ye Xuan took out his phone and sent a message to his secretary, Ning Nanshi, asking her to arrange a VIP room on the top floor of the Geman Hotel.
After Liu Huan and his two assistants got out of the car, Ye Xuan pushed open the car door...
After entering the hotel, Ye Xuan led the group straight to the elevator. When they reached the top floor, the elevator door slowly opened and a middle-aged man in a suit hurriedly welcomed them.
"Chairman, the private room has been prepared for you!”
The top floor of the hotel was a restaurant with a view. Although it was not small, there were only ten private rooms.
Moreover, if they wanted to dine here, they had to book three days in advance. The private room fee alone would cost at least 100,000 yuan.
In the huge restaurant, other than the middle-aged man at the elevator entrance, there were five chefs wearing tall hats standing beside the dining car not far away. Ye Xuan looked around and nodded slightly before following the middle-aged man to the best private room.
Pushing open the door of the private room, Liu Huan and his two assistants couldn't help but be stunned. Du Yimeng's mouth was wide open in surprise. Only Ye Xuan was calm, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
Although there were no decorations in the private room, the three walls had been replaced with tempered glass. The ceiling and feet were also transparent. Eating here was like sitting on the clouds. The entire Jiangdu City center was unobstructed.
After everyone took their seats, the middle-aged man politely handed everyone a menu. After spending two to three minutes ordering, Ye Xuan instructed,""After the dishes are done, you can leave. The restaurant on the top floor is not open to the public today. No one is allowed to come up!”
The middle-aged man's body trembled and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The wine was good, a 20-year-old top-grade wine. The dishes were not bad either, and they were at the standard of three Michelin stars.
After the door of the private room closed, Liu Huan, who was sitting opposite Ye Xuan, seemed a little nervous. He laughed dryly and said,""Mr. Ye, what kind of cooperation do you want to talk about? Let's get straight to the point. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat this meal in peace!”
Ye Xuan smiled and didn't reply. He only glanced at the assistants sitting on both sides of Liu Huan.
Liu Huan was also a smart person and immediately understood Ye Xuan's meaning. He promised solemnly,""Mr. Ye, don't worry. The two of them have been by my side for more than ten years. I can definitely trust them!”
"Yes, what I want to talk to Mr. Liu about is…the copyright of the original song!”Ye Xuan took a sip of red wine and said very directly.
Liu Huan was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning behind Ye Xuan's words. He frowned and replied,""Which song are you talking about, Mr. Ye?”
"The copyrights to all the songs!"
Liu Huan sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly."The real musicians nowadays can't compare to those big celebrities who often appear on camera…Piracy is rampant in the market. The songs that musicians painstakingly create for months are pirated and downloaded.”
Liu Huan had been composing since he was a teenager, so he knew how hard it was to be a musician. He sighed and drank all the wine in his glass, his face full of helplessness.
There were more than ten songs in a musician's album. It might have taken him a year or two to compose it, but it would only sell for about 30 to 50 yuan!
However, there were too many pirated versions on the market, and the online music platforms were all pirated versions. This indirectly fueled the arrogance of the pirates. The ones who suffered were the original musicians. The money they earned from an album was not even comparable to the pay of those big stars who filmed an episode of television.
Ye Xuan: " That's why I called Mr. Liu here. I want to use your influence to contact those original musicians and buy their song copyrights. I can even help them defend their rights!”
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Liu Huan's right hand, which was about to raise his glass, trembled unconsciously. His eyes flickered with disbelief, and the entire private room fell silent.
"There are too many pirated copies on the market. Mr. Ye, aren't you afraid of losing money by doing business like this?”
After a long while, Liu Huan came back to his senses and stared at Ye Xuan with a solemn expression.
How many songs were on the market? How much did a song cost? As the saying went, there was no business without treachery. What was Ye Xuan doing by acquiring so many copyrights?
These were all doubts in Liu Huan's heart!
However, Ye Xuan's words of 'helping the original singer's rights' had hit Liu Huan's heart.
