It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and the autumn sun has already brought a burst of heat like a summer morning. Although it is almost mid-October, the power of the autumn tiger is still continuing.www.biquge.info All in all, it was a not-so-cool morning.

However, Chen Chufan was not in the mood to care about these, after he received a call from Director Marshall again, he immediately rushed to the starbucks, café not far from the school. This was the first time he had come to a café in country M.

When he came to the brown glass door of the café, the waiter at the door helped him open the glass door and began a warm reception. This made Chen Chufan very satisfied with the quality of the waiters in country M.

Today he was dressed casually as usual, a white long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. This dress looks very youthful, but not solemn.

The indoor temperature is a few degrees lower than the outside, which makes people feel very comfortable, as soon as you enter the door, you will see a long bar, although it is still morning, but the waiter in the bar has been very busy, cups of coffee are brewed, with some snacks, neatly stacked on the bar. From time to time, waiters from outside the bar come to serve these prepared coffee and snacks to the customers' tables.

Although it was a sunny day, the brown glass on the windows of the café blocked direct sunlight, so the orange fluorescent lights in the hall were still lit, making the whole café look very warm. The coffee-colored floors and cream-colored walls soften the atmosphere of the café. There are seemingly random photos and murals hanging on the walls, making the solid color of the wall look less monotonous.

"Sir, how many may I ask?" welcomed Chen Chufan into the door, and the waiter who was guarding the door asked politely.

"I made an appointment, and they said they were waiting for me at table thirty-six." Chen Chufan replied simply.

"Okay, please come with me." After speaking, the waiter led Chen Chufan in front, and it didn't take long for him to walk into a relatively private space.

In fact, this is also a part of the hall, but the designer has ingeniously separated this small piece from the whole hall with some partitions and weeping willow-like decorations. This is the perfect place for a table and two spacious and soft loveseat sofas.

On one of the sofas, there were already two men, the man sitting on the left side looked older, about fifty years old, his hair was already a little gray, but he looked very good, while the other man looked much younger, probably only in his thirties, but there was a tiredness on his face.

After the waiter in charge of the reception brought Chen Chufan here, he left politely. If you need something, you can always signal the waiter in the hall to come.

“？” The obviously older man asked.

"You're Director Marshall?" Chen Chufan asked with some uncertainty, although he saw the photo of the old man in front of him on the website yesterday, but after all, there is still some difference between him and the real person, not to mention that Chen Chufan never thought that such a famous director would personally run for his song.

"Oh yes Chen, that's me, we just spoke on the phone yesterday! Nice to see you! Director Marshall stood up and stretched out his hand to Chen Chufan, with a faint joy in his tone.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Marshall, and to be honest I didn't expect you to come in person!" Chen Chufan stepped forward, shook hands with the old man, and responded politely.

"This is my assistant, John. Karis, he's on the set and we're all in Boston from NY last night, and he's in the car drafting the rights contract for you, so he's a little tired. After shaking hands with Chen Chufan, Director Marshall pointed to the younger man who stood up with him with a tired face, like Chen Chufan introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Karis!" After shaking hands with Karis again, Chen Chufan sat on the sofa opposite the two.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Kid, what do you need? After the guests were seated, Marshall asked intimately.

"A scone with a glass of orange juice!" For the topic that needs to be discussed, a breakfast seems too insignificant, so Chen Chufan just ordered the meal casually.

At this time, a waiter came forward to ask about ordering, and the old man directly reported Chen Chufan's request. Soon a portion of orange juice and scones were served.

"Okay, Chen, I want to ask if you have an agent first?" When the waiter left, Karis quickly got into shape.

"Nope!" Chen Chufan realized that the negotiations had already begun, and replied succinctly.

"Very well, then we can come and talk directly about our contract. I had a general conversation with Mr. Marshall last night, and we are willing to pay about $80,000 for the copyright of your song "LovetoBeLovedbyYou" to be used in our film, of course, after tax, can you? Karis seemed direct.

"Eighty thousand dollars?" Chen Chufan was a little surprised. When he was in country Z, he remembered that the complete copyright of his song "Jialan Night Rain" was only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and now his song is only used in the movie, and he can earn 80,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, which makes Chen Chufan feel a little surprised.

"To be honest, this price is not low, we don't mean to fool you, you must know that if you have transferred the copyright, we will negotiate with those music companies for about this price, and if that is the case, those music companies will still take the lion's share!" Karis thought that Chen Chufan was thinking that there was less money, so he hurriedly explained.

"No, you misunderstood, it's not that I don't think there is less money, but that I am a little surprised by the amount of money!" Chen Chufan's straightforwardness instantly won the favor of the two opposites, and both of them showed a relaxed smile. Marshall, in particular, although he had not spoken, had been looking at the young man of the East with great interest.

Judging from the professional eyes of his many years of directing, the young man in front of him has the potential to become a star, he looks very healthy and his complexion is full of sunshine, not particularly handsome, but his appearance with oriental charm is enough to attract the screams of girls, and the smile on his face always makes the boy seem affinity. Of course, this is what Director Marshall didn't think when he saw Chen Chufan angry.

"So can we decide now? Let's take a look at the contract first, and if we can, we'll sign it now. Karis proposed with a smile, and handed the contract that had been prepared to Chen Chufan opposite.

It's just a licensing contract for the use of a song, and it's not too complicated to talk about, and there are not so many things that need to be chewed on. Chen Chufan casually looked at it and felt that there was no problem. It's just that when signing the contract, Chen Chufan suddenly had other ideas.

"Mr. Marshall, do you need me to be there for a song in your film?" Chen Chufan asked.

"No, kid, we just need to record the music and add it to the movie when the time is right. How? Do you have any ideas? Marshall replied with a smile.

"See if you can do that, I can cut the cost of the song license in half. But I hope to give me some chance to appear in the ending song! The smile on the old man's face that never faded gave Chen Chufan the courage to come up with this sudden idea.

"Why do you have such an idea? Forty thousand dollars is not a small amount, kid. Director Marshall pondered for a moment before suddenly asking.

"Because of my live playing, it's definitely going to work so much better than just using my music! I'm sure you'll agree with my performance. What's more, I've learned about your experience, and I think your film is going to be a great hit, and it's definitely worth the $40,000 price to be featured in your film. After Chen Chufan boasted about himself without hesitation, he gave a small ass to the director in front of him.

In country M, Chen Chufan has been taught that modesty is definitely not a good habit in country M, self-confidence is the only way to gain recognition, and patting other people's sycophants at the same time will definitely make him happy no matter where he is. Besides, Chen Chufan didn't think he was making a sycophant, yesterday on the Internet, the achievements of the director in front of him really shocked him.

After listening to Chen Chufan's unashamed words, Marshall couldn't help but laugh. He could see the confidence and sincerity in Chen Chufan's eyes, but he didn't respond to Chen Chufan immediately, but continued to stare at Chen Chufan's eyes seriously, his left hand on the table, tapping slowly and rhythmically, making a small sound of "da-da", as if he was thinking about something.

Marshall's attitude made Chen Chufan feel a little nervous, but he didn't look away from him, but bravely looked at Marshall. His whims stemmed from the declaration he had told Kalman to regret, and the accomplishments of the old man he had seen on the Internet last night.

He thinks that being able to appear in the film made by such a famous director will definitely play a great role in promoting himself.

"I'm curious, why are you so confident in yourself? How do you think I'm going to agree to your terms? You must know that in the ending song of a movie, it is rare to add the image of a singer! It was a moment before Marshall asked.

"Because I really have the strength, Director Marshall! And I don't think there's anything wrong with that! In addition, I am sure that with your ability, you will be able to solve any problems that may arise because of my small request. Chen Chufan replied as calmly as he could.
