Chapter 85

【Monday, please give me a recommendation vote~~~】

What is CCTV like?

Half an hour ago, Lin Han didn't know the answer to this question, but now he found that it wasn't much different from an ordinary company, except for the many more cameras, studios, and meeting rooms, with each program group having its own office area.

The CCTV headquarters building was completed only a couple of years ago, so the interior decoration and facilities were all very well-equipped.

"You must keep this visitor badge with you. We're going to the TV drama production center now."

Wang Hao led the way, talking non-stop, "You don't know, when our director heard your music just now, he completely changed. The same for the others, they all forgot about their work."

Lin Han felt like he had entered a grand garden, but the novelty quickly wore off. He said to Wang Hao, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"How can this be considered exaggerated? What's even more exaggerated is that Director Yang rushed to the station leader's office to have the leader listen to this song."

Lin Han touched the backpack on his back, which contained numerous symphonies, theme songs, interludes, and end credits that he had painstakingly recalled and compiled.

If the other party appreciated them, he would take them all out and hand over all the rights to the CCTV people. After all, Lin Han was an outsider, and this kind of professional work should be left to the production department to refine; no one could take away his credit.

There were too many pieces of music in "Journey to the West," and Lin Han wasn't sure if his memory was complete. There were over ten interludes, more than twenty accompaniment pieces, and related songs. He had only browsed them out of interest at the time, but now they finally came in handy.

When they arrived at the TV drama production center, the busy staff couldn't help but focus their gazes on Lin Han. They had all heard the opening theme "Yun Gong Xun Yin," and seeing Lin Han's young appearance, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Wow, he's so young. Could he be an impostor?"

"Uh, I thought it would be an old composer, but he's so handsome. Talented and handsome, and I heard he's also a writer."

"Are young people nowadays so capable?"

"Shh, that piece of music is really good. Let's get rid of Director Yang quickly, I want to go home and take a break."

"Who doesn't want to? With Director Yang's picky personality, I hope this young man doesn't get too discouraged. So many composers couldn't handle this task, I hope he doesn't break down in tears."

Wang Hao smiled and greeted people along the way. He had good relationships here, being outgoing and also the assistant director of the TV drama.

When they reached the office, Yang Jie, with his messy hair, was busy in front of the computer. Seeing Lin Han, he was taken aback for a moment. This composer seemed too young.

"Are you the composer of 'Yun Gong Xun Yin'?" Yang Jie asked, extending his hand in doubt. In his mind, composers were all elderly masters.

Lin Han shook his hand and smiled, "Absolutely, it's me."

Yang Jie wasn't a shallow person. Talent was the key, regardless of age. He pointed to the computer screen and said, "You came just in time. We just edited a new opening sequence, and the music you provided fits very well. Do you want to take a look?"

"Already done so quickly?" Wang Hao said in surprise, pulling over two chairs and saying to Lin Han, "Come, come, don't be shy, let's sit down and see the effect."

After Lin Han sat down, he focused on the screen and said, "Director Yang, are you satisfied with this music style? I've written quite a few pieces recently. If they're suitable, I can take them all out."

Yang Jie didn't speak, just waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then played the newly edited opening sequence of "Journey to the West."

The familiar music paired with the scenes from memory, though there were slight differences, most of the scenes remained unchanged. Just listening to the music might not have been very moving, but when combined with the visuals, it made Lin Han feel like tears were welling up in his eyes.

"This is exactly the style I wanted!" Yang Jie said excitedly, "Lin, if you have any requirements, you can let us know, and we'll try our best to meet them. However, our time is tight, so it would be great if you could provide the background music and interludes as soon as possible."

Lin Han took out his backpack, opened the zipper, and took out a file, "Director, I've already finished them. Look at these scores. They can be recorded now, and you can use them wherever you think they fit."

"Huh? You've already finished them?" Yang Jie was full of surprise, his gaze immediately falling on Wang Hao, filled with a murderous intent.

Wang Hao quickly waved his hands, hurriedly explaining, "Director Yang, I swear, I didn't leak any video materials. Lin Han created the music based on the original novel!"

Lin Han's heart skipped a beat. He had only focused on efficiency and completely forgotten that the music should be created in sync with the TV drama's editing. The normal process was to create music for each episode after watching it, to ensure seamless integration.

But "Journey to the West" hadn't even started airing, and Lin Han had already completed all the music, which naturally made Yang Jie worried about the leakage of the show.

His mind raced, and he quickly explained, "Director Yang, I've always been a big fan of 'Journey to the West.' I can recite almost every plot point by heart. Later, when I heard you were going to produce this TV drama and would be faithful to the original, I decided to create the music based on the original plot. It might not perfectly match the TV drama, and some adjustments might be needed."

Yang Jie could only nod doubtfully, thinking he would have to thoroughly check later to see if the TV drama had been leaked.

"Is that so? It seems you're a true fan of 'Journey to the West.' Have you registered the copyright for these works? I'll have them recorded as soon as possible, and if they are adopted, we can sign a formal contract, okay?"

"No problem, I'm waiting for good news." Lin Han's back was slightly sweating. He knew his explanation was a bit weak, and the people in front of him only believed him on the surface.

Yang Jie casually flipped through the file and smiled, "So, Lin, what are your conditions? We can buy each piece of music for 100,000 RMB. If it's adopted, all future copyright fees will belong to you."

This was the most critical part. Lin Han had already thought about the compensation and said, "Director Yang, I can authorize 'Journey to the West' to use the music for free, but I hope you can add another condition to the contract: I want CCTV to help organize a 'Journey to the West' themed concert. If you add this condition to the contract, I won't take any money, and I'll also freely open the subsequent copyrights to everyone."

This was Professor Xu Jingqing's dream. Lin Han didn't want to profit from these pieces of music. Having CCTV organize a themed concert would be much easier.

Reborn, to make up for regrets, the 'Journey to the West' themed concert had never been successfully held on Earth, and now Lin Han wanted to realize this small dream.

After watching the video clips edited by netizens, using images from the Vienna concert to accompany the 'Journey to the West' opening theme, some parts were very fitting, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Perhaps in this life, he would really have the chance to hear the music of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife!
