Following Chen Jianhao, Lu Chen came to the reserved seat area on the upper floor of the bar.

The bar was renovated from an old warehouse, and because the floor height is more than six meters and nearly seven meters, it has been transformed into two floors, and the middle position is vacated for the stage.

Like most bars in Houhai, Forget the Worries Bar has a reserved seating area with three tables that are empty for VIPs who may not show up, no matter how good the business is.

Because of opening a bar to do business, personal connections are very important, Chen Jianhao has a wide range of friends, if there are good friends or people who can't be offended suddenly touch the door, the bar is full at this time, and there is no place to sit, it is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.

That's why there is a reserved seating area.

The people who came to Lu Chen to buy songs can sit on the reserved seats, and they will definitely not be ordinary characters.

Perhaps seeing that he was a little nervous, Chen Jianhao whispered when he went up the stairs: "Don't worry, it's up to you whether you sell it or not, with me, no one will make it difficult for you." ”

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, boss." ”

Chen Jianhao is really a very good boss, although he is usually a little strict with people.

Two of the three wine tables in the reserved seating area were empty, and the table near the wrought iron fence sat a man and a woman, a man in his thirties, a straight suit with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair neatly combed.

The woman was much younger, petite and casually dressed, holding the glass in her hand, looking curiously from side to side, as if she was feeling fresh about everything in the bar.

"Manager Song, I've brought someone over"

Chen Jianhao walked over with Lu Chen, and said with a smile: "This is Lu Chen, Xiao Lu!"

The man in the suit waited until Chen Jianhao walked in front of him before standing up, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded at Lu Chen reservedly.

The woman on the side hurriedly got up, but forgot to put down the wine glass, and the wine spilled.

Chen Jianhao introduced: "Xiao Lu, this is Mr. Song Xinwei, deputy general manager and manager of the brokerage department of Qingyu Media, and this is Miss Dong Xuan, assistant to the general manager. ”

Is it that Su Qingmei, who has a big temper and is very arrogant, still not giving up?

Lu Chen thought in his heart, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the man in the suit without being humble or arrogant: "Manager Song, hello." ”

Song Xinwei stretched out his hand and shook him: "Hello." ”

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to Miss Dong Xuan again: "Miss Dong, hello." ”

Dong Xuan hurriedly shook it as well, and stammered a little and said, "Okay, hello Lu Chen"

Lu Chen smiled.

This assistant general manager is too tender, and he is completely a newcomer to the workplace.

Of course, he didn't need to care about whether the other party was qualified for the position of assistant general manager, and after the politeness, everyone sat down at the wine table.

Song Xinwei said straight to the point: "Xiao Lu, here's the thing, we came here tonight at the request of Director Su Qingmei Su and wanted to buy the copyright of a song from you." ”

As he spoke, he nodded at Dong Xuan, who immediately took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase he was carrying.

Song Xinwei continued: "Our company's legal department has confirmed that the copyright of this song called 'You at the Same Table' is completely owned by you, so we are willing to buy all the copyrights of it at a high price. ”

Lu Chen quietly took the contract.

Qingyu Media confirms the copyright of the song very simply, as long as you query it through the "Great China Music Library", you can find it whether it is the song title, lyrics or music score.

This is the authority and convenience of "Great China Music Library", although the registration fee is very high, but it avoids possible copyright disputes in law and saves a lot of trouble.

And as long as Lu Chen is willing, he can also complete the copyright transaction through "Great China Music Library".

But that's not the point.

His gaze quickly swept over the list of clauses on the contract, and he quickly locked on to the point.

That's the price for the sale of the copyright, which is clearly written in black and white: ¥20000.00

There is also a capital 20,000 yuan at the back.

20,000 yuan!

When he saw this price for the first time, Lu Chen was really a little moved.

He used to work two jobs, working more than 15 hours a day, and the money he earned was only four or five thousand yuan a month after deducting his daily living expenses.

And now as long as he signs his name on this contract, he can easily take 20,000.

The most important thing is that there are countless good songs in his memory, and it really doesn't matter if he sells one.

Opposite Lu Chen, Song Xinwei keenly noticed the change in the former's expression through the ultra-thin resin lenses of the gold wire glasses, and an imperceptible look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for Su Qingmei's request, as the dignified deputy general manager of Qingyu Media, he would not have personally brought someone over to negotiate a small contract with a stinky boy who only had 20,000 yuan.

Of course, 20,000 yuan must be a huge amount of money for the kid in front of him, and he is probably dizzy.

Lucky boy!

However, Lu Chen was not stunned, and after understanding the price, he began to carefully check the other terms.

The more you look at it, the more ugly it becomes.

All the copyright terms of "You at the Same Table" except for the right of authorship are normal, and Lu Chen also recognizes it, but what the hell is it that he is not allowed to continue singing this song in any public place?

In other words, after he sold the song, he couldn't even sing in the Forget-me-Forget Grass bar?

There is also a rule that Qingyu Media has priority over his works, and he cannot transfer his future works to a third party until the former has not confirmed his abandonment!

It's a dog!

If Lu Chen hurriedly signed the contract without looking at it carefully, it would be tantamount to being tied to the boat of Light Rain Media and losing the initiative in his work.

There are indeed traps lurking behind the high price lure.

Lu Chen understood, and resolutely returned the contract: "I'm sorry, I can't sign this contract." ”

In the same way, he said it to Su Qingmei once yesterday.

Song Xinwei was waiting for Lu Chen to sign, but he didn't expect Lu Chen to refuse, so he couldn't help but be stunned: "What?"

Lu Chen repeated the words.

This time, Song Xinwei finally understood, he felt a sense of humiliation, and his face changed immediately: "Can I know why? Is it because of the price?"

"Then I think you should know that this price is impossible for others to give!"

In fact, Lu Chen understands this.

The current era is no longer the first decade, the rise of the Internet and the prevalence of piracy have led to a great decline in the record industry.

The status of songwriters of pop music is naturally not as good as before.

And now that technology is developed, even ordinary people can create with the help of software such as "Singer-Songwriter Master", the threshold for lyrics and composition has been greatly reduced, and the market is flooded with countless third-rate bad works.

Amateur authors write a song that can still be sung, and they don't need to spend money to register in the "Great China Music Library", as long as they upload it to a certain music website to prove their copyright, 3500 will be willing to sell it.

The price of a professional songwriter is much higher, but a new or third-rate author writing a song will only cost two or three thousand at most, and someone has to ask for it, and no one cares about discounts.

Qingyu Media paid 20,000 yuan to buy Lu Chen's "You at the Same Table", which is already a famous treatment!

You must know that this is Lu Chen's first work, and his work has not yet passed the test of the market.

That's why Song Xinwei is so annoyed - why do the current newcomers not know the sky and the earth is thick?

But Lu Chen didn't care about the price.

"Price is not an issue"

He said very seriously: "I am willing to sell the copyright for 20,000 yuan, but I can't agree to other terms." ”

The value of "You at the Same Table" is definitely more than 20,000, but Lu Chen takes into account the relationship between Chen Jianhao and Su Qingmei, and he is not willing to offend a media company, so it doesn't matter if he suffers a loss.

However, only if it's limited to this song!

Song Xinwei understood what Lu Chen meant, and his attitude did not change in the slightest, he sneered: "Xiao Lu, you have to think about it, if there were no these terms, would our company have paid such a high price? Who do you think you are? And your authorship is still there, this is an opportunity for you to become famous, you must know how to cherish it!"

He almost pointed to Lu Chen's nose and said, "You don't want to know what's wrong"!

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Manager Song, I'm just a nobody, a big company like Qingyu Media really can't afford to climb, you might as well ask for another master!"

His last two words of respect, if Su Qingmei heard it, it was estimated that he would be so angry.

Lu Chen is also a temperamental person, his pride is hidden deep in his bones, although he has bent over and lowered his head because of the pressure of life, but his knees are always strong!

After speaking, he stood up and nodded to Dong Xuan, and then said to Chen Jianhao: "Boss, I'll go down first, and I'll play later." ”

When Lu Chen and Song Xinwei were discussing just now, Chen Jianhao didn't speak, but now he smiled and said, "Go ahead, I'll accompany Manager Song here for two more drinks." ”

"Thank you boss!"

Lu Chen didn't look at Song Xinwei, and left the reserved seat area directly.

Song Xinwei was so angry that he dropped the wine glass, his eyes looked at Chen Jianhao, and said coldly: "Boss Chen, your guy is really backbone, I have seen it today!"

"Haha, young man."

Chen Jianhao snorted and said, "It's all like this, who hasn't been young? Come, drink and drink!"

Where can Song Xinwei still drink, he is feeling an unprecedented frustration!
