Chapter 198: You're welcome, everyone
Although Chen Chufan is a newcomer and has never seen a contract from another singer before, the contract that Ye Feng helped him negotiate is indeed too generous. He was so generous that he couldn't believe that Universal Music would really agree to these conditions.
Not to mention the increase in the profit share of the record from 50% to 55%, Universal also needs to pay an additional fee to use his image rights in addition to promoting his album, and he can even refuse to participate in the activities arranged for him by Universal Records, and he can choose to participate in various performing arts activities without going through Universal Company, and Universal Music must also bear various publicity costs, which is definitely a fantastic contract. Although the contract is only two years, Chen Chufan doesn't care. Anyway, he was just looking for a place to start.
Because of this, Ye Feng was extremely angry at Chen Chufan's words at this time.
"What do you mean? Isn't it all for your own good? Ye Feng asked in a fierce tone. In other words, Chen Chufan's behavior of getting cheap and selling well is too shameful.
Chen Chufan directly ignored Ye Feng's anger, but asked curiously: "If you just put forward the conditions like this, aren't you afraid that the final negotiation will really collapse?" ”
"You want to hear the truth?" Ye Feng also glanced at Chen Chufan.
"Of course!"
"Actually, I didn't plan to negotiate today, but when I saw Universal's signboard, I remembered the other badge on Kalman's body that day, and I was so unhappy, so I deliberately embarrassed them and didn't want you to sign with Universal. But fuck it's too evil today, my nonsense is so obvious, that Jackson actually agreed, I'm also weird! Ye Feng was very honest about his thoughts and thoughts.
Chen Chufan looked at Ye Feng speechlessly.
Leaving your future to Ye Feng to decide, this is indeed a very unreliable thing. It's good for Tom today. Jackson's performance is even more unreliable, otherwise he would not be considered to be pitted by this goods. Is he embarrassed to say that he will pay off his debts when his agent? Is there such a pit for employers?
Seeing Chen Chufan staring at him with gloomy eyes, Ye Feng opened his mouth and diverted the topic: "It seems that Universal Music is very optimistic about your potential, brother!" ”
"Nonsense! Is there a second one with such potential as a newcomer? Chen Chufan also learned from Ye Feng's personality and stinked once.
Neither of them knew that Universal Music had put itself in a dilemma because of a "future idol" campaign. In addition, this event became famous because of Chen Chufan's accident, and it is still being hyped by the media, didn't there be a media reporter at yesterday's premiere who asked about this event? How could they have agreed to such an outrageous contract?
And Tom. Jackson also has other thoughts, at his insistence, the contract period is only two years, and Chen Chufan will also return to China in the near future, two years is enough time to see if Chen Chufan's performance can match this contract. At that time, whether the contract will be renewed or not, the initiative is still in your own hands. If Chen Chufan's record sales can match his contract, he can make money for the company. He certainly doesn't mind continuing to renew his contract. If Chen Chufan's performance is not satisfactory, two years is not too long.
But even so, at this time Tom. Jackson was still in a very bad mood. Especially when Kalman. When Walter walked into the conference room where Chen Chufan and Ye Feng walked away, this bad mood reached its peak. He didn't like this old man who always pretended to be serious, not at all, especially because he was forced to sign such a contract because of his mistakes, which made him even more depressed.
"How's the talk?" Kalman. Walter is no more in the mood than Tom. Jackson is much better, if it weren't for whether Chen Chufan signed a contract related to his work at Universal Music. He would never ask Tom about it. Jackson's.
"Very good and smooth, that country Z kid has signed the contract." Tom. Jackson said expressionlessly.
Kalman. Walter heard Tom. Jackson's answer was visibly relieved, and there was even a hint of a smile on his dry face.
"Okay, thank you for telling me the good news! Then I'll go first! "After saying that, Kalman. Walter turned and prepared to leave.
"We've negotiated. You have to apologize to the media on the day of the signing ceremony, and you should be ready! "Tom. Jackson yelled at Kalman. Walter said from his back.
Kalman. Walter paused visibly before exiting the room. Although Tom. Jackson couldn't see Kalman. Walter's expression. But he could imagine that the little old man's mood was definitely not much better at this time, which made him feel a trace of happiness for no reason, and then an idea followed this happiness from the bottom of his heart. And then it was out of control.
So he picked up the phone he had left on his desk and dialed it.
"Hello, Mr. Feith, forgive me for disturbing you again."
Oh, no, the contract has already been negotiated. The young man had already signed. But I have a new idea, maybe you'll be interested in that young man and Kalman."
Jean Georges, recognized as a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, is also the legendary best French restaurant in New York. Of course, there is no room available at this kind of restaurant during meal times. Legend has it that the only way to prove the status of a New York man is to see if he needs to make an appointment to Jean Georges.
Of course, Li Dewei doesn't have the face to bring people here to eat directly. He reserved his seat a day in advance. However, choosing the atonement banquet here can be regarded as showing that he is indeed very sincere. At this time, there were five people sitting in the seat he had reserved, Chen Chufan and Ye Feng were sitting together, Li Zhenni was sitting next to Ye Feng, Chen Chufan was next to Su Xiuqing, Li Dewei was in the middle of the two women, and a round table was just sitting five people, not loose and not crowded.
However, it is clear that Li Dewei's elaborate arrangement is not very pleasant, because Chen Chufan is not very interested in this kind of beautifully decorated French restaurant, and he prefers authentic Chinese restaurants in comparison. No way, the eating habits that have been cultivated for decades are even more difficult to change than personality. Chen Chufan has also mixed French dinner with Ye Feng in a French high-end restaurant a few times, and the foie gras that is respected by the world tastes really good, but Chen Chufan always feels a little weird.
So his eyes didn't focus on the exquisite menu in his hand at all, but chatted casually with the girls around him.
"So you're signed to Universal Records?" Su Xiuqing looked at Chen Chufan, who was sitting beside him, and asked.
"Well, I just got the contract done this morning." Chen Chufan nodded.
Everyone at the table was holding the menu and preparing to order, of course, the whispers of the two could not hide the ears of others, Li Dewei heard this, and moved his eyes from the menu in his hand to Chen Chufan's face, and congratulated him very affectionately: "Brother Chen signed a contract with Universal?" Congratulations, it seems that Brother Chen must have a bright future in the future! ”
"I can't see if his future is bright or not, but I can see that Mr. Li is going to break the fortune today!" Without waiting for Chen Chufan to answer, Ye Feng on the side answered directly.
"Order whatever you want, invite Brother Ye to have a meal with Brother Caichen, and what else is there to break the fortune!" Li Dewei said heroically.
"Yes, Brother Ye, the day before yesterday it was because I was in a bad mood that I offended you a lot. Today, my brother is making amends for me, so you don't have to be polite! Li Zhenni beside Ye Feng was obviously dressed up carefully, and at this time, she did look a little bit like a lady.
"In this case, then I'm really welcome!" Ye Feng closed the menu in his hand, and said with a smile to the waiter who had been waiting beside Li Dewei: "Give me a French fried snail for the appetizer, and the main food will be lamb saddle steak, and then those truffle shrimp, fat foie gras, caviar and silver cod will all have a share, what soup is the most expensive here for me, as for the dessert after the meal, it would be good to have the most expensive one, and hurry up and take two bottles of Latour 1982 to moisten your throat." ”
The dish Ye Feng ordered made the waiter standing beside him pause, and looked at this elated young man strangely, what kind of match is this? Forget about the most expensive dishes that are casually called, and order so much. In particular, the red wine Latour 1982, which is priced at more than 20,000 yuan per bottle, is just moistening the throat, which is simply not the best, but the most expensive typical. That's a lot of luxury.
He couldn't see that the host next to him, the young man in the Versace suit, had a stranger expression than him at this time. The bold smile was not completely gone, and his eyes widened because of the dishes Ye Feng ordered casually, his mouth was half-open as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make any sound, and the look of wanting to say something looked really cute.
He really didn't expect this young man named Ye Feng to be unkind, he looked so arrogant, he knew that he would not specially book a seat in JeanGeorges Restaurant if he was killed. You must know that the best often means the most expensive, and it will not be too cheap to eat anything here, let alone order a mess like Ye Feng. Like him ordering, the Chinese restaurant in Lower Manhattan's Chinatown is the most suitable place, in other words, this is the posture of ordering Chinese food, and eating Western food does not bring such fun!
As for his sister Li Zhenni's smile, she didn't know where to throw it away, and there was only a little embarrassed look on her face, as if she wanted to take back what she had just said.
"I'll just take what he just ordered." But Chen Chufan also spoke to the waiter at this time. He's not very cold to French food anyway, and it doesn't matter what he eats. However, he knew that Ye Feng was an out-and-out foodie, and it was always right to follow him. He didn't notice the faces of Li Dewei's brothers and sisters at all, nor did he think about whether he finished eating, but just gave a very indifferent order, which was as natural as being in his own home.
Or the only person who noticed everyone's expressions was Su Xiuqing, who was sitting next to Chen Chufan, and the girl was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth began to ripple with a hint of a subtle smile. (To be continued......)
