"Okay, then I'll take it seriously. ”

Wang Fei was pleasantly surprised and said that the songs written by Wu Tian are classics, and if all the songs on the next album are written by him, it will definitely be a hit.

Wu Tian nodded and said, "My words count, when will your next album come out, I will write it for you in advance." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be next year. Wang Fei smiled and said, "I haven't finished my business yet." ”

"Well, it's tentatively set for January, I'll write the lyrics first, so that you can read it first, so that you don't have a bottom in your heart. ”

"I believe in you, so I won't ask anyone else to write songs for the time being. ”

Wang Fei had many songs written by the famous lyricist Lin Xi in Xingang before, and he was also a very good person, but he was too busy and there were too many stars looking for him to make an appointment.

"Although Wu Tian is not famous enough for the time being, his lyrics have a fight with Lin Xi, and my next album may become a new height. Wang Fei thought to herself.

Of course, the next time Wu Tian helps her write a song, it will definitely not be free. As for how to set the price, Wang Fei has decided in his heart to wait for Wu Tian's lyrics to be written, and then refer to Lin Xi's charging standard to Wu Tian.

Chatting about music, time flies.

The next morning, the plane flew to California and landed at San Francisco Airport.

California is a state on the western Pacific coast of the country, divided into Southern California and Northern California.

Northern California is in the Bay Area with San Francisco at its core, and there is Silicon Valley.

Southern California is located on the West Coast, where the world-famous Hollywood is located.

Wu Tian knows that California is the No. 1 state in terms of economic strength, and in 2015, its GDP is second only to the Glitter, China, Wa, Deguo and Eagle Kingdom, ranking sixth in the world, according to the World Bank's statistics, there are more than 210 countries and regions in the world, and California will rank more than all countries and regions outside the top 5.

California is also home to several globally renowned universities: Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley. Stanford University and Caltech are both private schools, while the University of California, Berkeley is a public university.

Stanford University, the cradle of Silicon Valley, is a world-class university with the highest number of Nobel Prize winners in the world in the 21st century.

It usually tops the university rankings, surpassing Yan University and Tsinghua University in China by much.

Stanford University is not the top four most popular fields in the country, medicine, law, engineering, and business administration, but they all make it into the top three.

Wu Tian also planned to take time to go to Stanford University and Silicon Valley to take a walk and have a look.

At the airport, a local staff member came to pick up Wang Fei, who had already arranged to promote her album at the San Francisco Music Association.

Knowing that Wu Tian was here to discuss cooperation in the release of English songs, Wang Fei was very surprised.

Although she didn't hear Wu Tian's English songs, she believed that Wu Tian would definitely succeed.

"I have a friend named Lucas, who is a freelance lawyer, and I feel that you need his help so that you don't suffer. ”

Wang Fei learned that Wu Tian did not contact the lawyer service in advance, so he introduced the lawyer Lucas he had worked with before to Wu Tian.

In front of Wu Tian, she called Lucas, introduced Wu Tian as her good friend, came to Yiguo to negotiate the release of the record, and asked him to help.

Lucas had plenty of time in the past two days, and he had been an English teacher in Huaxia for two years, and he was still a Huaxia expert, so he immediately enthusiastically said that he was happy to provide services to Wu Tian.

Wang Fei gave the phone to Wu Tian, who communicated with Lucas and immediately decided to hire him as his legal counsel and guide during this time.

As for the cost of the service, the two will talk in detail after they meet.

Lucas has a beard, is full of energy, is very enthusiastic, and gestures constantly when he speaks.

Sitting down at a café, Wu Tian explained to Lucas the purpose of his trip to California.

The first is to negotiate with the three record companies separately and finally determine the cooperation object. The second is to go to Silicon Valley and Stanford University for an inspection. In addition, what else will be arranged according to the follow-up progress.

As for the remuneration, Wu Tian gave an offer of 4,000 yuan a week, and Lucas was also very satisfied.

The fees charged by lawyers in the country are very expensive, and the lawyers of law firms are charged by the hour. In addition to providing legal services to Wu Tian, Lucas also has to provide guide services, so this offer is considered the salary of two jobs.

Of course, this remuneration is relatively high.

Lucas was very happy, patted his chest and said that he would definitely provide the best service to Wu Tian.

He also said to Wu Tian in broken Chinese: "Mr. Wu, don't worry, during this time, you will feel like a guest at home......"

Wu Tian was confused when he heard this, and it took a while to realize that he meant "at home", and couldn't help laughing.

According to Lucas's suggestion, Wu Tian first purchased a calling card to facilitate local contact.

The second is to contact the personnel of the three record companies separately to determine the time and place of the meeting.

After receiving Wu Tian's call, the contacts of the three record companies were very excited, and they were looking forward to discussing the release of the songs with Wu Tian after Wu Tian uploaded two English songs on the AMG website.

In the early stage, they contacted by email, and they knew that Wu Tian still had several songs of the same quality, and they became more and more determined to sign Wu Tian.

Several companies have offices in Los Angeles, California, where Hollywood is the heartland of the global music and film industry.

Wu Tian and Lucas quickly resisted Los Angeles by plane, where Wu Tian first stayed at the Hilton Hotel, and then discussed with Lucas, according to Lucas's suggestion, Wu Tian again contacted Warner Brothers, Capitol Records, and Columbia, and determined to start negotiations at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the time for each company to negotiate was only fifty minutes.

"Charlie, since your music is so good, you have to be stronger, you have to take the initiative in the negotiations, and you have the final say on the place and time. Only then will they value you more. ”

Lucas's eyes flashed with wisdom, and after listening to several English songs brought by Wu Tian, he was very surprised, and exclaimed again and again that this was the most beautiful song he had heard.

Wu Tian gave himself an English name Charlie, at first Lucas politely called Wu Tian "MR Wu", and later simply called "Charlie", which was more cordial.

Wu Tian did not hesitate to take Lucas's advice.

He felt that it was really necessary to spend a few thousand dollars to hire Lucas as a consultant, and that he could worry a lot less.

At two o'clock, the three staff members of Warner Bros. Records, the first negotiator, arrived on time.

When they learned that Wu Tian, a yellow-skinned young man, was the author and singer of those two English songs, they exclaimed again and again.

"Three, introduce yourself, my name is Lucas, Mr. Wu's legal counsel, about Mr. Wu's song distribution contract, I am responsible for negotiating with you, first of all, I want to know what kind of cooperation conditions Warner Brothers is ready to come up with, which is very important for Mr. Wu to choose who to cooperate. Well, we have limited time, and Mr. Wu has several record companies to negotiate next, so let's get started. ”

Lucas made a serious, serious opening remark.

This is also the strategy that Wu Tian discussed with him, and he will sing black face and be responsible for controlling the situation of the negotiation.
