Zhuo Lan kept flipping through the web page,

"Oh, I forgive you has reached the seventy-ninth place on the song list, it seems that it is Qu Cai to let it be paired with Set Fire to the Rain,"

Zhuo Lan said happily, as a companion song to Set Fire to the Rain, I forgive you can achieve such a result does prove that this song is not so ordinary, which is a pity, but at that time, in order not to make a new song too thin, there was this gift of addition, which is also the helplessness of the new singer to hit the charts.

"I remember someone saying that this time it failed,"

Han Zhifeng sneered at her.

"Well, I apologize, I shouldn't have had doubts about your songs,"

Zhuo Lan only raised her hands and surrendered, to be honest, this ending was completely beyond her imagination, according to the law, even if it did not decline after four weeks of the single's release, there was no big increase, which is why Max came yesterday and Zhuo Lan did not entangle with him, the problem is that this time Zhuo Lan's single sales are far beyond her imagination.

"Verbal, no other reward,"

Han Zhifeng teased.

"Kouhuahua,"

Zhuo Lan bit his red lip lightly and glanced at him,

'Is it okay to stay at night?'

"Oh, I think I'm better to leave,"

Liu Yafang protested, it was too abusive.

At this time, the doorbell rang, Liu Yafang looked,

"Looks like Dadmon and Max are here,"

"Yo, Max still has a face, it's really surprising to me. ”

Zhuo Lan scoffed.

Actually, there was no surprise that Max made her realize that thickness can be infinite.

'Zhuo, this time I came to congratulate you on behalf of the company, and the company decided to arrange a media conference for you the day after tomorrow to help you release your single, and... ’

Max smiled very brightly, as if everything that happened yesterday had never been overshadowed, but Dedmon on the side was a little unnatural, it was obvious that he did not get rid of yesterday's events, he felt that this Max changed too quickly, he blushed for Max, but this also explains why Max is the leader, and he is a subordinate.

"I'm sorry, I think I need to take a break, I've been scared these days, two people have threatened me to terminate my acting career, so I'm really not in the mood to be in any press conferences right now. ”

Zhuo Lan immediately refused.

"Oh, haha,"

Max snorted a lol,

"I think I made a mistake this time, I don't have any opinion about you personally, I'm just faithful to my position, so... ”

"Yes, it's right that you are loyal to your duties and make profits for the company, but it's a mistake for you to despise Zhuolan, and your current apology is very insincere, so you can leave first and let Zhuolan have a good rest." ”

Han Zhifeng was a little impatient, he could see at a glance that this Max was a very standard professional manager, only interests were in his heart, just listen to a sincere apology, such a person would have problems as Zhuolan's boss sooner or later.

"Uh,"

Max was stopped by Han Zhifeng and ridiculed, it was really a bit embarrassing, this Chinese man was not Zhuo Lan himself, why should he ridicule him.

His face was red for the first time, and then he was about to explode, and Dedmon, who was beside him, pulled him and winked at him anxiously, Max held back his anger and didn't explode, this morning was the most hot time he had in years.

"Zhuo, you rest first, let's go back first, I believe we will have a good communication,"

This time, it was Dedmon who took the initiative to end the visit.

Dedmon never put pressure on Zhuolan this time, and Zhuolan also gave him face and smiled.

"Why are you leaving, why,"

Max is very unwilling, in his opinion, Zhuo Lan has not changed his attitude at this time, he can't leave at this time, he is also under a lot of pressure now, if he can't get Zhuo Lan's forgiveness, Zhuo Lan insists on not renewing the contract, he can imagine the company's board of directors and the executive president's anger against him, finally the company has a superstar seed, but he was offended, how can this be.

For the long-term interests of the company, the company does not mind reforming a management and retaining a star, after all, management personnel can be recruited, there are many such personnel in the United States, but what about the company's subordinate stars, it is unattainable, since the company has such a star, it is impossible to give up.

"Pay attention to your songwriter Doctor Han, this man is also surnamed Han, and I saw him by Zhuo's side twice, do you think it will be... ”

Dedmon explained.

"No, no, no, now I only care about Zhuolan's thoughts,"

If it was yesterday, he was anxious to know who Han really was for the sake of the company, but now he didn't have the slightest intention to do so.

Yesterday, he wanted to use a generous remuneration to let Han write songs for the company, so that several first-line singers of the company could benefit, but now he didn't have that idea at all, because Zhuo Lan had become a first-line star, and Han was her queen writer, so it was necessary to find out who Han was, and besides, he was taking care of himself now, wasn't the reason why this happened was that he pressured Zhuo Lan to know who Han was, and now he just wants to save himself, who does that Han love.

"Uh,"

Dedmon was speechless, usually Max was shrewd and capable, but he was cold and hard inside, but he didn't expect to be out of proportion at this time.

'This Han must be very important to Zhuolan, we can persuade Zhuo through him, what do you say?'

Dedmon is a subordinate to save face for the boss, in fact, he really wants to say that the reason why Max has reached this point is not that Max is too strong, too proud, and didn't save face for Zhuolan, so why should Zhuolan save face for him?

"Well, that's a good idea,"

Max nodded, and he also noticed that he had been a little out of measure this morning, and he had disappointed himself.

They waited at the door for half an hour, and suddenly an OB truck from the FOX TV entertainment channel came to the door of Zhuolan's residence, and several reporters came down to add the camera.

A male host with glasses tidied up his image a little and immediately started the live broadcast,

Dedmon and Max glanced at each other, and both understood that Zhuolan's effect began to spill over, of course this is big news, a man who came to the United States from China without any connections, with the support of the ordinary publicity of a second-rate record company, with sales approaching platinum, and entered the top ten of the North American Billboard in one fell swoop, this is simply a living modern version of Cinderella's inspirational story, of course, it is a news hotspot, and it is strange that these news dogs are not besieged.

It's just that this puts more pressure on Max, what if these ubiquitous DOGs smell the conflict between him and Zhuolan, it will be a scandal that has exploded in the RCA.

RCA's rough treatment of a rising star must be a national hit, he Max must be notorious, the company must fire him, and he will have nowhere to find a job in the industry, thinking of this, Max is extremely uneasy.

Things often drift in the opposite direction of people's hopes, and within an hour more than a dozen media vehicles came here, both large and small entertainment media, long guns and short cannons are lined up against the gate of Zhuo Lan's residence, it can be seen that Zhuo Lan's popularity is now mainly because she is too mysterious, her introduction is very brief, just said that it is the queen of Huaxia, but what does the queen of China have to do with the United States, in the eyes of Americans in the past, China is a desert of entertainment, and no one in the United States is interested in listening to their popular songs.

But Zhuo Lan broke all this, she reached the status of a first-line singer in the United States in two English songs in a few months under such difficulties, which has to be admired, but everything about her is a mystery, and what she is facing is the demand of fans all over the United States, well, who is she, so in the face of these demands, of course, these media are all out to grab the news.

Max looked at everything in front of him and felt more and more bitter in his heart, this is the treatment of a superstar, he felt that things were completely out of his control, as for where to go, God knows.

"Oh my, what are we going to do,"

Liu Yafang covered her mouth and looked at the long guns and short cannons at the door and the reporters who pointed at the villa one by one, she has never had such an experience, she has experienced domestic reporters, but she can't compare with these animals in the United States, these people are everywhere, she and Zhuo Lan have seen some media and paparazzi chasing RCA first-line stars at the door of RCA, it is simply a chase battle, it is too terrifying.

Zhuo Lan's eyes looked at Han Zhifeng inquiringly, and she didn't know how to deal with this problem.

Han Zhifeng is also very helpless, he has not experienced it well, but he knows from the entertainment news of later generations that such paparazzi are omnipresent, and the means are all-encompassing, colliding, ridiculing, and insulting, the purpose is to provoke the stars, as long as the celebrities are out of shape, they win.

Of course, it's not all unscrupulous media like that, but the big media is also terrible, their audience is too wide, and the celebrities' every move is magnified to the limit in front of the audience.

"First of all, let's find a security company, find male and female security guards, it won't be too safe here, I'll go right away, and then find a headhunting company to find a suitable spokesperson,"

Han Zhifeng thought about it.

"Security is necessary, but Brother Feng, do you still need a spokesperson?"

Zhuo Lan was puzzled.

"Zhuolan, you are an international superstar from now on, your every move has attracted a lot of attention, what can and cannot be said needs someone to make a judgment for you, I'm sorry, I can't help in this regard. ”

Han Zhifeng spread his hands, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhuo Lan's expression was a little helpless, she didn't expect things to be so complicated, out of her imagination.

Han Zhifeng walked out of the villa, he accepted the continuous shutter sounds, and the flashing lights flashed blindly, and those long guns and short cannons were pointed directly at him, which made Han Zhifeng experience the treatment of a star.

Han Zhifeng really can't accept it, and under such attention, it's no wonder that some male stars also put on makeup for an hour before going out.

Han Zhifeng opened the door and was immediately surrounded by several reporters, who did not hinder him from asking who he was, Zhuolan's condition, etc.

Han Zhifeng's smile on his face just didn't answer, he is not a star, some media complain that some celebrities are cold and do not cooperate with the media, he doesn't care about this, he just doesn't cooperate, he is not an insider.

Several reporters saw that he didn't have any cooperation and let him go, anyway, he was not Zhuolan, and he had an attitude of being surprised when he was interviewed, and he was dumped if there was no surprise.

Joshua Han had just gotten rid of a few reporters when he suddenly found Max and Dedmon smiling together blocking his way.

'Mr. Han, I'm sorry to trouble you with something,'

Max even had a somewhat flattering smile.

Before Han Zhifeng could speak, Liu Hao, Zhou Gui and others gathered around and separated Han Zhifeng, Max and Dadmon, they looked at the two vigilantly, the scene was too chaotic, and they had to be careful.

Their appearance surprised Max and Dedmon, what's the matter, how can this young Chinese have four bodyguards.

They have been through too much, so it is clear that there are so many bodyguards who are either rich or expensive, and there have never been ordinary people.

"Mr. Han, we have no ill intentions, we just want to talk to you,"

Dedmon hurriedly said, after all, he and Han Zhifeng had a few encounters.

"I understand,"

Han Zhifeng nodded, he glanced at Max on the side, he had a good impression of Dedmon, but he really didn't have anything to say about this Max,

"But I'm busy, as for Zhuolan's affairs, she needs to make her own decisions, I'm sorry,"

Han Zhifeng nodded, and left the place surrounded by four people.

Max looked helpless, Zhuo Lan decided by himself, then Zhuo Lan's decision may be to leave RCA, and he is the initiator.

"Dedmon, is there a buyout clause in the agreement signed by Zhuo. ”

A signed singer is eligible to propose a buyout clause when he signs a contract, and if he is unhappy or has other record companies that take a fancy to him, he can start this clause to be free, of course, this is a song with some status that is eligible to add this clause, and it is said that Zhuo Lan will not have it as a newcomer.

"No, it's a two-year clause," Dedmon said dryly.

Max covered his head with one hand, how could he be confused at that time, although there was no buyout clause, but there was only a two-year contract, and now it has been a few months, even if there is no buyout clause, Zhuolan can get free as long as he waits for more than a year.

And this year, Duo Zhuolan can not participate in the company's activities at all, and will not release a new album, because in the hard rules, the company only promised to give her a chance to release a single or album, and now it has been fulfilled, so on the surface, the two parties do not owe each other, and only the time limit of the contract remains.

Dedmon looked at Max's declining face without the slightest sympathy, at first he strongly advocated signing a contract with Zhuolan for at least three years, preferably four years, but at that time Max felt that giving Zhuolan a two-year contract was a charity, but now, this is a huge loophole, I believe that the company's board of directors and CEO Peterson will be very angry.

"Max, don't forget, although there is no liquidated damages, but the life limit is too short, if Zhuo Lan insists on not renewing the contract, the company will consider it if other companies propose to buy out, after all, it is better than losing such a star for nothing. ”

Yes, there is no big harvest for more than a year, so it is better to transfer this contract and earn a part of the profit.

Max suddenly found that the initiative of the matter was not with him at all, he seemed to have to resign himself to fate, and what he regretted most at this time was why he provoked this Chinese woman, it was too deadly.

This is, of course, a huge loophole, and it leaves a big opportunity for competitors in the highly competitive American entertainment market.

Due to the mutual penetration of practitioners, it is not too difficult to inquire about the contracts of singers from other companies, and soon the news that Zhuolan signed a short-term contract with a newcomer spread, and then some companies took action.

When the company's chief executive, Peterson, suddenly discovers that the company's rising star, Zolan, only holds a two-year contract and does not want to renew it, he is extremely angry, and he immediately calls Max and Dedmon to his office.

'Oh, you're going to ask Zhuolan for her professional writer, huh,'

Peterson was a little speechless, can he die in one day, only one day to know the number of next week's billboard, and then he will be free to advance and retreat.

But he thought about it, he couldn't blame Peterson for this, the sales in the past four weeks can only be said to be good, who would have thought that he could soar in the end, no matter what, Max is also for the benefit of the company.

But this Zhuo Lan is too mysterious, everything she did violated the law and made Max deflated, but he angered Zhuo Lan, which made the company really unable to accuse Zhuo Lan of not renewing the contract, after all, it was Max who started the war first, and it seems that Max can only admit that he is unlucky.

"Max, things have come to this point, I think you need to be a little mentally prepared,"

Peterson's words Max knew very well that if Zhuolan renewed his contract on the premise of firing him, the company would definitely agree, of course, if Zhuolan did not renew the contract, he could stay in the company, but he would be punished.

Max nodded in response, he really didn't bother to defend.

"It's not all Max's responsibility, well, Ennis has some, uh... ”

Dedmon on the side said that he didn't think that punishing Max alone would satisfy Zhuolan.

"Well, Ennis provoked Zhuolan too,"

Peterson was puzzled as to why there was so much going on.

Dedmon talked about the conflict between Ennis and Zhuolan, and Peterson understood, well, this Zhuolan is colorful enough to insist on his own opinions, which can be seen that he is really a sister of Chinese pop music, and Ennis is also very unruly according to the power in his hands, but in the face of Zhuolan's active and strong position, even if she is wrong, it is not her fault, it can only be the fault of others.

Zhuolan did receive inquiries from Universal and Sony Records, and the people sent by both sides were contacted by phone, after all, there are too many reporters at the door of Zhuolan now, and their appearance will alert RCA and other opponents.

So they can only contact by phone, congratulations and put forward their own conditions, can buy out the contract for Zhuolan, and then open a five-year top contract, four or six shares, during which there can be three albums and singles publicity commitments, and at the same time, major entertainment shows have the opportunity to board every year.

It's definitely a contract for A-list stars, which is quite beneficial to singers, and Universal and Sony have a much wider distribution channel than RCA, and the same album is released like them, and the sales of RCA will increase by more than ten percent, so these terms are quite tempting.

"Brother Feng, what about your opinion,"

Zhuo Lan called Han Zhifeng to ask Han Zhifeng, Han Zhifeng didn't want to go back there, he didn't want to be in the limelight.

'It's all up to you, I think you'll take care of it, I can only say that in terms of contracts, although Universal and Sony are doing well now, RCA hasn't said anything yet, you can listen to what they have to say. ’

Han Zhifeng said.

"Of course, I've actually been waiting, it doesn't matter if I leave or not, really, Brother Feng, what I care about most is whether those who suppress me can be dealt with, otherwise I really can't be happy. ”

Zoran clearly hated Max and Ennis.

It seems that only God can save these two men.
