Chapter 728: The Biggest Contract
The game was called Dream of Nine States. It was also an ancient-style game.
Manager Tao from their publicity department also liked s.h.i.+ Jin’s music very much after hearing it and submitted it to the company’s higher-ups for testing.
Everyone felt that the music was full of charm and wanted to buy the music rights from s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin and Manager Tao agreed to meet after filming that night.
At night, at the hotel.
Yao Jiahong appeared with s.h.i.+ Jin.
Manager Tao was a woman in her forties, but she looked very young and capable. She flashed a friendly smile when she saw s.h.i.+ Jin. “s.h.i.+ Jin, Mr. Yao.”
“Manager Tao.” s.h.i.+ Jin shook her hand.
Manager Tao smiled and said, “Please sit down. s.h.i.+ Jin, I listened to the fifteen-second version of your two songs. They were very stunning, so I recommended you to the company. Can I hear the entire version now?”
“Of course.” s.h.i.+ Jin nodded.

Yao Jiahong took out a tablet and clicked on a video.
When he opened it, it wasn’t pure music. It was accompanied by a video version.
The movements and fighting scenes inside were Xiao Ming and Jian Liang.
The two of them had the characteristics of good actors. They usually kept a low profile, but in fact, they matched whatever character they were playing. In this video, the fighting scene was very straightforward, and the literary scene was also very outstanding.
Manager Tao was very surprised and admired s.h.i.+ Jin’s straightforwardness. “s.h.i.+ Jin, I didn’t expect you to let me watch a clip of your movie.”
“I believe Manager Tao won’t reveal anything if you see it, so there’s nothing to hide.”
“So, these two songs… are actually the voices of Xiao Ming and Jian Liang?” Manager Tao finally understood.
“Yes. The two songs were part of their character piece in the movie, and they fit perfectly with their own qualities. As you can see, they’re perfect for the part, both of them. Be it the fight scenes or the written ones, they’re both very vivid.”
“That’s true.” Manager Tao nodded in agreement. “I was also very impressed by your two pieces of music. To be honest, those fifteen seconds were too stunning. I was afraid that the feeling of the entire song would break the shock. But obviously, it didn’t. The entire song was above average, making it even more shocking.”
“Thank you, Manager Tao.”
Manager Tao thought for a moment and exchanged a few words with her a.s.sistant before asking, “s.h.i.+ Jin, can you introduce Xiao Ming and Jian Liang to me? We still lack two spokespersons for our game. I’ve seen them. Their image and temperament this time really match ours.”
Yao Jiahong looked at s.h.i.+ Jin and smiled. Previously, s.h.i.+ Jin had asked him to urgently edit Xiao Ming and Jian Liang’s music video. It had worked.
Indeed, s.h.i.+ Jin could not be wrong about people. It was difficult not to be moved by the combination of these two music videos and the music.
Manager Tao knew her stuff.
“No problem. Brother Yao, would you please inform the two of them?”
Manager Tao was very satisfied with s.h.i.+ Jin’s straightforwardness and continued to talk to her about some music concepts.
Hearing that s.h.i.+ Jin also had some opinions and insights about the game, Manager Tao was even more interested. She said, “Right now, the development of mobile games is still in the desert. Our mobile game is also in the stage of conquering the world. Right now, it’s all investment and there’s not much output yet, but I’m very optimistic about this future.”
“Manager Tao, mobile games will definitely have broad prospects in the future. Mobile phone technology is changing rapidly, and the popularity of the Internet will also increase. The increase in internet speed is also imminent. With the help of these, mobile games have better prospects than computer-based games.”
“That’s right. That’s what I thought. s.h.i.+ Jin, your knowledge is quite extensive.”
“I only found out a little because I was playing games.”
Manager Tao said in satisfaction, “If only I had known you earlier, I would have signed you as my spokesperson. But I heard from Mr. Yao that you don’t plan to have a game endors.e.m.e.nt at the moment?”
“Well, this has to do with my career plans, so I’m sorry.”
Manager Tao was indeed very regretful. If only she could sign s.h.i.+ Jin. However, there were still two suitable candidates at the moment. She really did not lose out tonight.
Jian Liang and Xiao Ming were still awake when they received the call. They were reading the script and immediately packed up.
The agent came over and said, “Come on, let’s go over and take a look. But it’s best not to get our hopes up. I still have trauma from last time.”
“It’s fine. We have to take a look.” Xiao Ming didn’t mind. Since he had nothing to do, it wouldn’t be a loss to go.
“My little heart can’t stand being tortured again and again.”
Jian Liang bought a drink and handed it to the agent. “Just slow down,” she said.
Speaking of which, other people’s managers had a lot of jobs because of their celebrity status. All of them were also very famous and received excellent treatment wherever they went.
This agent of hers had been leading the two of them for a long time. He worked many hours, and his income and output were severely disproportionate. It was really difficult for him.
Along the way, the three of them arrived at the scene without much hope.
The group exchanged pleasantries before sitting down in turn.
Manager Tao looked capable and spoke very gently. “I’m sorry to have made you three come so late.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Manager Tao, please advise me if there’s anything,” the manager said with a smile.
“It’s like this. There are two new characters in Dream of Nine States that need spokespersons. I’ve thought about it seriously, and I hope that Jian Liang and Xiao Ming can take the job. In addition, our game will also use s.h.i.+ Jin to compose lyrics and music, but the music performed by the two of you will also need your permission and copyright. I wonder if that’s okay?”
The agent was overjoyed.
Jian Liang and Xiao Ming also looked at each other in disbelief. This cooperation was too simple and too fast.
It came without hope, but it gave them the greatest surprise.
The agent said quickly, “As long as the terms of the contract are appropriate, we’re perfectly fine.”
“Here are the contracts,” Manager Tao said. The a.s.sistant took out the contracts and placed them in their hands.
The three of them looked down and their breath caught.
The terms of this contract were not much different from that of Heavenly Dragon. It was almost a regular contract in the industry. However, the endors.e.m.e.nt fee was double that of “Heavenly Dragon”.
Moreover, the accompanying contract included the cost of the song’s copyright usage. It was also a considerable sum.
The agent’s fingers trembled as he held the contract. It was the biggest contract of his career.
